The New Testament writers' honest accounts of Jesus, shaped by Paul's theology, have changed history for 2000 years. [1] The gospels' portrayal of Jesus was shaped by Paul's theology, influencing the history of Urantia for centuries. [2] Due to Jesus' deliberate avoidance of leaving written records, the writing of the Gospels was significantly delayed as seen in the New Testament. [3]
A reformation in the Christian church may one day return to the unadulterated teachings of Jesus, as the New Testament is mostly devoted to Paul's beliefs rather than the religion of Jesus. [4]
The symbolism of the New Testament was intended for backward ages, but subsequent generations should understand the great struggle Jesus faced on Mount Hermon. [5] The New Testament, written in Greek, originated from the eyewitness accounts of Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John. [6] Abner, head of Philadelphia church, remains unmentioned in New Testament due to ongoing feud with Jerusalem church. [7]
The distortion of Jesus' teachings in the New Testament occurred due to the apostles' belief that he would soon return to establish the kingdom. [8]
New Testament authors and later Christian writers distorted Hebrew history by transcendentalizing Jewish prophets, leading to the disastrous exploitation of Hebrew history by both Jewish and Christian writers. [9] Jesus held stringent ideas on divorce, as did all New Testament writers except John Mark. [10]
