You are about to undertake one of the most challenging studies of your life. As a Christian and follower of Jesus you rely upon the New Testament for the foundation of your religious belief system. Sadly few Christians ever study in-dept the origin of Christianity let alone the origin of the New Testament. Over the years of my Pastorate following Seminary I used the tools of study which I was equipped with during my Seminary training to look into the truth concerning the New Testament. This study took years and the results of it led to my resignation from the Pastorate as I became thoroughly convinced of the forgeries contained in this New Testament which had caused me to think I was a follower of Jesus but in reality I was not. This I don't expect the reader to believe at this point but if you can find the courage, patience, and time to devote to the study of the information contained in this website then you will be convinced beyond any doubt when you conclude your study. I will say: "Believe nothing; study everything and use the mind God gave you to see the picture that develops as you study the materials below." May our L-rd and God give you the grace necessary for this very difficult study and let us both remember that God never gave us a lie; antisemitic men did. Craig M. Lyons M.Div.
