Her answers may disturb people who see the book as a prophecy about the end of the world.

Don't think theres anything there we would agree with. Elaine Pagel is described as a feminist theologian who believes more in the Gnostic gospels than the true gospels.

Every year, around a major Christian holiday, it seems that either a book or a movie is released, that is assaulting the Christian faith.

Even after writing a book about it, Pagels has hardly mastered its meaning.


Yet she is somehow qualified to write a book about it ? Yup, not hardly anything to agree with.

God Bless

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

I find it amazing that something could be written that says "This book chronicles events that will occur near the time of the end...in the far future" and still believe what is written means "This book chronicles something totally different from what is written".

Amazing is the willful ignorance of mankind...

Sad and true. On Easter weekend I was looking at the channel lineup and was amazed at all the horror movies and shows trying to debunk the Christian faith. Weird that an industry is at war with a bloc that will make them millions, but then again, light came into the world and people loved darkness. Just sad (aggrevating too).

The entertainment industry has been an enemy of God since the late 1960s. Over the years they have acted more and more like their father, the devil,when it comes to their reaction on anything related to God.
