The Controversy Over the Identity of Jesus Everything the Bible says about Jesus is actually a fairytale. The central premise in this book is an attack on the purity and divinity of Jesus. Christ was married to Mary Magdalene and fathered a child. Today there are people that can claim to be direct ancestors of Jesus Christ. Jesus was not considered God or divine until almost 300 years after his ministry, when a decision at the council of Nicea in AD 325 declared him to be God. Gnostic Gospel is the Base for above www.reasonedtruth.com
