BL> The "authorised"?

 NP> The Authorised version (AV) is todays name for the King 
 NP> James Bible.


BL>   There are *four* gospels, or don't you even know that 
BL> much?

 NP> Ahem ..... Now Five gospels since the discovery of the 
 NP> Gospel of Thomas in the Nag Hammaddi (sp) texts

What about Timothy?

 NP> No doubt some of the more fundamentalist religions will 
 NP> still say there is only four, but the fifth has been tested 
 NP> and has been found to be genuine. It doesn't tell a story as 
 NP> such.

early heresies...

 NP> It is just a collection of .... And Jesus said.....
 NP> And Jesus said......

 NP> It does make an interesting read as some of the writings 
 NP> are _nearly_ the same as in the other gospels, but some 
 NP> others are unique and espouse ideas that the mainsteamers 
 NP> would probably not agree with.
