What else do these fools have hidden away?
It really makes one wonder, doesn't it?
Its curious why there are no first century texts..
almost as if everything around the time of Jesus was destroyed for some reason... OR hidden
Perhaps there are some texts that actually came from his time that might reveal what he really said...
If, after 70 years, they release the full contents and they don't contain something completely controversial and groundbreaking, then we know they are lying.
That would be very refreshing! But, do you think those in possession of the texts would release them?

Wonder if the text will actually be released. We all know we can't have anything floating around that would make Christians look silly now don't we.
Personally I believe they have texts that relate to Jesus being a man, not a God... which will never come to light

One thing we can count on is the ability to know if they are telling the truth when they release them.
If, after 70 years, they release the full contents and they don't contain something completely controversial and groundbreaking, then we know they are lying.
I'm guessing they have something in them that will change the foundation of understanding the church expresses when it comes to the messages they preach. Since money is normally the prime motivator for managing access to information, I'm thinking the contents will change the hegemony over the relationship between Christ, money, and social responsibility. I think it is something that will make the quest for power and wealth incompatible with Christianity.

math problem for you:
If the texts are more than 2000 years old and Jesus founded Christianity
1984 years ago, how would the writers of the texts write something about the future?
Take 2000 minus 1984 and the result is greater than 16 years.
The texts predate Christianity by 16 years.
Ignorance is bliss.
