Point 6- The books that were omitted from the canon were done so because of Textual Criticism. This statement stands as the rebuttal of your point or do you believe that you possess more knowledge than the scores of textual criticism scholars that have dedicated their lives to authenticating writings from antiquity?
Wait a minute, wait a minute! I thought the bible was written with the holy spirit guiding the pens of the authors? And, this god-approved book was edited by man, with parts of it removed?
I believe that God is the God of all truth-whatever its source, that He is big enough to use any means to reveal Himself,
They believe that Jesus came as the ultimate sacrifice for mankind's sins, and as such the laws of Moses were nullified
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Jesus replied, "And you experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them.

What a convincing hypothesis! Joseph Atwill, layer by layer, has built a solid foundation for his theory which challenges all we know about the origins of Christianity. His intense and structured research of the Gospels, as well as the works of Josephus, are the basis for his belief in a Flavian creation of "the Saviour of the World." With impeccable observations, Atwill recreates this 2,000 year old timeline -- and his answers fit like a the lost pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Eureka! The only reason this type of theory could never have been presented until now is due to censorship by the Church!

In Exodus 34:13 the real ten commandments are listed which go something like this:
His real name was Yeshua.

Any means to reveal himself? We're talking about god, right? The all-powerful, all-knowing entity that created the universe and performs miracles? And yet, he doesn't have the means to simply appear before everyone to reveal himself to us? Don't you find this an unacceptable contradiction?

In Exodus 20 the first ten commandments were given AND the LORD spoke other commands to Moses (v.23 -26). In Exodus 34 v1 the Lord told Moses that He would write on the new stones the words that were written before AND he told Moses to write the covenant He spoke to him. Two separate things- fail.
As far as the name of Jesus- it is English variant of the Hebrew name Yashua. Big deal. Same guy.
1. When we use the word jealous, we use it to mean "jealous of another person", or envious, because of who that person is or what they have. Notice that in Exodus 20:4-5, we see this again. "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God..." In these verses, God was talking about people making false idols and bowing down and worshipping them, instead of giving their worship to God, to whom it belongs. It's a different use of that word, jealous, when God says that He is jealous. What He is jealous of rightfully belongs to Him and Him alone.
29 This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled; 30 Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the Lord, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law. 31 Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.
