Presentation on theme: "The Life of Jesus: Born Again?"— Presentation transcript:

1 The Life of Jesus: Born Again?
The Untold Story… Are there answers in the books banned from the Bible?

2 “Born Again” Did Jesus believe he was: Son of Man? Son of God?
God Himself?

3 The Son of Man Gospel of Judas says Jesus was God’s King on Earth—the God-approved ruler of all humankind in a new Eden

4 The Son of God Gospel of James says Jesus was God’s Divine lineage—part of God’s “essence,” but in a lesser, subordinate nature

5 God Himself Gospel of Phillip says Jesus was God—everything Jesus said and did, God was saying and doing at precisely that moment

6 “Born Again” Regarding the burial tomb, was Jesus: Removed?
Resuscitated? Resurrected?

7 Removed from the Tomb? Letters of Pilate say Jesus’ body was stolen by believers and removed so there would be an empty tomb and stories of Jesus having arisen from the dead

8 Resuscitated from the Tomb?
Gospel of Nicodemus says Jesus was drugged on the cross, went into a coma, was revived to health, and walked out of the tomb

9 Resurrected from the Tomb?
Gospel of Thomas says Jesus arose first in bodily form, was then transfigured into a Spirit being, and finally “ascended” back into infinity and eternity

10 “Born Again” Where is Jesus alive today: In his descendants?
In Heaven? In the Church?

11 In His Descendants? Letters of Pilate say Jesus may have had a daughter who escaped into southern Europe with her mother, Mary Mgadalene, and lived on as Jesus’ bloodline

12 In Heaven? Gospel of James says Jesus ascended to live in Heaven as the everlasting intermediary in the relationship between God and Humankind

13 In the Believers? Gospel of Peter says Jesus gave His Spirit of God to humankind as His presence in the community (Church) of the believers
