Who Wrote the Gospels?

There is a common misperception concerning the origin of canonical gospel accounts. Widely taken as dogma is the misinformation that the gospels are eyewitness accounts. The gospels weren’t written by the apostles or immediate disciples. The authors are cognizant of Jerusalem’s destruction in 70 A.D., so their narratives were not written until at least 40 years or more after Jesus lived. We don’t know who the authors were, only that they attached the name of esteemed leaders to their work in order to gain respect. The gospel writers didn’t see anything they wrote about, rather they recorded stories about Jesus and set them in a scenario paralleling stories in the Jewish calendar. They put the words of the Old Testament Prophets in his mouth to confirm his calling. The writer of Mark copied down portions of the mass of arcane, esoteric wisdom, which had been transmitted for centuries orally in the mystery religions and wrapped them around Jesus. Then Matthew copied Mark and added “The sayings of Jesus” corpus found in another source called Q for Quelle, German for source. Q was discovered by subtracting the text of Mark found in Matthew and Luke. Q is the common material left in Matthew and Luke after the removal of Mark. Evidently, the Gospel of Mark was less popular than the Gospel of Peter in the second century. More copies of the Gospel of Peter have been found than of Mark.
Because of the similarities found in two other early manuscripts, it appears that the substratum for Luke came from ‘The Gospel of the Lord’ by Marcion, bishop in a pre-existing Docetic church, which worshipped a non-historical, non-incarnate Christ. This network of ecclesia known as the Therapuetia pre-dates Paul. Jews initiated in pagan mystery cults formulated the resurrection story. Horus the Christ and Mithra the Christ were prototypes for Jesus the Christ.
In fact, Paul’s letters were written before the gospels. He never mentions a virgin birth. That theme had not been applied to Jesus as yet. Mark does not mention a virgin birth either, but Matthew and Luke borrow from the treasure trove of esoteric allegory to crown Jesus with this halo. The militant church summarily destroyed the records of the myths they plagiarized. The infamous burning of the Alexandrian library plunged the western world into the dark ages. Only after the Enlightenment has the ancient knowledge of Egypt, India, and Persia that inspired the bible come to light.
Realizing that the Bible is only the word of men, albeit inspired and holy, we are freed from the dilemma of answering to the unjust God portrayed in the Old Testament. When the scripture contradicts the spirit of love, we know the scripture errs. We are not befuddled by seeming exhortations to subordinate women or discriminate against homosexuals. Our own conscience, the spark of divinity in all of us, dictates to our heart that all people are equal. God is love and we can be sure that ‘God is “not” on our side’, if we take the side of aggressor even when that oppressor is Israel. “Hallelujah’ we don’t have to be prejudice, even if the Bible prescribes it.
