Since none of the Gospels are written by people who personally saw and heard the events and words which they describe, it is hardly surprising that their respective accounts of particular events often differ and at times even contradict each other - and that even highly significant events in the life of Jesus are not described in all of the Gospels.

If we examine the New Testament in order to find the basis upon which this belief is founded, we do not find any statement that can be attributed to the Messiah (Jesus), where he makes any such claim. We are, on the contrary, surprised to find that the New Testament contains what actually amounts to a rejection of this belief. It proclaims unambiguously and with utmost clarity that there is no God other than God and that the Messiah is but a Messenger of God sent to the Children of Israel (the Jews): Jesus states in the Gospel of Barnabas 94:1: "And having said this, Jesus said again: 'I confess before heaven, and call to witness everything that dwelleth upon the earth, that I am a stranger to all that men have said of me, to wit, that I am more than a man. For I am a man, born of a woman, subject to the judgement of God; that live here like as other men, subject to common miseries.'"

The Publishers of the (Bible) Revised Standard Version, made a net profit of 15 million dollars on the first edition alone. The authors of these anonymous books are either 'Unknown' or are 'Probably' or 'Likely' or are of 'Doubtful' origin. "What a miserable price in exchange for eternity!"

It does remain a great pity that there is no complete original authentic text of the Gospel of Jesus, which has been verified beyond any reasonable doubt, in existence today.
