A Serious Divine Warning of Things to Come
Doctrines Arose Denying the Nature and Role of
Jesus The Gospel of Truth The Gospel of
Judas
For if what they have published is the Gospel of
truth, and yet is totally unlike those which
have been handed down to us from the apostles,
any who please may learn, as is shown from the
Scriptures themselves, that that which has been
handed down from the apostles can no longer be
reckoned the Gospel of truth. -
Irenaeus 180 AD

A Serious Divine Warning of Things to Come
Doctrines Arose Denying the Nature and Role of
Jesus The Gospel of Truth The Gospel of
Judas
They declare that Judas the traitor was
thoroughly acquainted with these things, and that
he alone, knowing the truth as no others did,
accomplished the mystery of the betrayal by him
all things, both earthly and heavenly, were thus
thrown into confusion. They produce a fictitious
history of this kind, which they style the
Gospel of Judas. - Irenaeus 180 AD

True or False Jesus was not referred to as
Lord before 325 AD?
Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Sceptre of the
majesty of God, did not come in the pomp of
pride or arrogance, although He might have done
so, but in a lowly condition, as the Holy Spirit
had declared regarding Him. Clement of
Rome 96 AD
True or False Jesus married MM and grew old
together?
All these sufferings, assuredly, He underwent
for our sake, that we might be saved. And He
suffered really, as He also really raised
Himself from the dead. It is not as some
unbelievers say, who maintain that His suffering
was a make-believe. In reality, it is they that
are make- believes and, as their notion, so
their end they will be bodiless and ghostlike
shapes! Ignatius of Antioch
Before 110 AD

Gospels were lost is because they were not
genuine. They were written too late by the wrong
people and contradict the testimony of the
eyewitnesses who were there.
