Thanks, Darrell. I feel the same way - it's truly terrifying. Ammon's work is likely to only attract a cult following because he will be seen as eccentric, even crazy. If it had wider appeal I fear the Church and the establishment would deal with him. However, with my later post, in two week's time entitled 'This is Church business' Ammon makes a calmer and more accessible case which may get wider traction. I hope so. I've successfully survived the Catholic Church, and so have many others, but there are so many more whose lives have been ruined by the Church. Thanks again!
Brilliant article Pat, I really appreciate the time and care taken. It's such a twist cult that seems to poison every crevice of this world. I am very green to the knowledge you put forward (apart from obvious Preist pedophila) but the way you have laid the evidence out and references, made it a terrifying and fascinating read.
You're right. There's endless versions. But the one Ammon has translated is the official version which somehow left the original questionable Greek in it. Ammon says this was through clumsy translation. Although censoring must have come into it, too. A friend of ours has an Oxford scholar son who is proficient in Ancient Greek so I'm hoping to ask him about Ammon's conclusions. One thing's for sure - all the early Christians were dubious Gnostics - anti-life - and it's most unlikely that the authorised early Christianity was any different and had similar questionable, perverted practises. AFAIK, no one explores this, apart from Ammon, which is curious. Or maybe it's just the Orwellian world we live in where no one asks questions about such crucial matters. Because all belief systems evolve and change over time and there's no reason to think Christianity would be any different when it presented its 'safe', cleaned-up version in the fourth century with the Nicene Creed. AFAIK there's no account of those first 400 years that isn't either boringly or obscurely academic, with no questions asked, or strongly partisan towards Christianity. And so the Christian lies continue to harm new generations.
I see what you mean about accessibility. It's important to keep an open mind, and I'd be interested to hear what Ammon has to say, but there's no way I'm sitting through a two-hour talking heads video on YouTube (in general, I mean, not just in this case).

Deciphering and rewriting the Bible - Cool. The rabbit hole is never too deep. Which version are we currently on anyway...?
