Conclusion of THE GOSPELS/History or Myth-QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER

Does modern-day Christianity represent the Jesus of the Gospels?

The Jesus Seminar is "not bound by the dictates of the church councils."  But historian H.G.Wells realized that there is a huge gap between the teachings of Jesus as presented in the Gospels and those of Christendom. He wrote:  "There is no evidence that the apostles of Jesus ever heard of the Trinity-at any rate from him. . . .Nor did [Jesus] say a word about the worship of his mother Mary, in the guise of Isis, the Queen of heaven. All that is most characteristically Christian in worship and usage, he ignored."  Therefore, one cannot judge the value of the Gospels on the basis of the teachings of Christendom.  (Note: As your know, Christendom is false religion, which  is being preached in all churches,  temples etc., except one, and those are Jehovah's Witnesses. This is the truth.) 

WHAT IS YOUR CONCLUSION?

After considering the foregoing points, what do you think? Is there real convincing proof that the Gospels are mere myth? (NO! They are the truth)  Many find the questions and doubts raised about the authenticity of the Gospels to be shaky and unconvincing.  (note: Only to those who are unbelievers and ignorant)   To form a personal opinion, you need to read the Gospels with an open mind. (Acts 17:11) When you consider the consistency, honesty, and accuracy with which the Gospels present the personality of Jesus, you will realize that those accounts are definitely not a collection of fables.

If you carefully examine the Bible and apply its counsel, you will see how it can change your life for the better.  (John 6:68) This is especially true of Jesus' sayings recorded  in the Gospels. What is  more, therein you can learn about the wonderful future in store for obedient mankind. -John 3:16; 17:3, 17.
