Thank You for the lead. Read many comments on what the newly found text reveled, but could not find any site that actually showed the text. Have you read it?

Have just read that article.I have always questioned anything the catholic faith claimed,so I have also questioned the death of Christ on the cross, some say he died nailed or tied to a tree.But I thing the story that was postulated by the church of his dying for "our sin" on the cross was another manipulation ploy to make adherents of "the faith" be filled with guilt and so more easily controlled.

Have a major concern about a cloister of monks interpreting ancient writing, then deciding what should be taken as the "gospel" and what should be ignored.
Then there is the thousands and thousands of people who were killed because they did not believe exactly the way they interpreted it.
As always thank you for your wonderful posts.
