                   The Gospel Sent Down to Confirm
                      the Torah Should Also Confirm

                                Monotheistic Faith

                 A Christian who espouses the Trinity may at first reject the above
             statements based on historical documentation and interpretations of
             these. This does not alter the fact, however, that the present four
             canonical Gospels were chosen from a total of 27.
                 A council decree declared that these four Gospels represent the
             true scripture of Christianity. The discrepancies and inconsistencies

             among these Gospels are too great to be ignored or denied. Therefore,
             a sincere Christian should set aside the dogmatic decisions of the
             Church and think with reason and good conscience and reflect a little
             on whether these can be regarded as books "not one single letter of
             which has ever changed." The books in question, not one letter of
             which has ever supposedly been changed, were in fact changed time
             and time again by the Church itself. This is established by Christian
             historical documents. The footnotes regarding statements in old
             copies of the Gospel in present-day editions by themselves make this
             perfectly clear.
                 Another important matter which must be mentioned here is the
             situation of Christians who lived during the three centuries after Jesus
             and the disciples up until the recognition of the four canonical Gospels
             containing belief in the Trinity. Even if these people believed in Jesus

             and the Gospel with all their hearts, they were still in a position, in the
             eyes of the dogma imposed by the Church, of having abandoned the
             faith. How can that be possible? Who could possibly maintain that
             people lived in ignorance of the truth for so long when there was a true
             faith and its holy book present as a warning? God would never permit
             such a thing.
                 What therefore calls for skepticism is not the period before the
