Banned Bible book of Jesus’ secret prophecies to his brother unearthed

The secret advice and prophecies Jesus gave his brother, James. It’s bound to be explosive stuff.
But the two books of the Apocalypse of James were rejected when the Emperor Constantine instructed his bishops to standardize the ascendant Christian religion.
We don’t know how these nobles and church leaders whittled down the mass of Christian writings in circulation at the time to the books which now form the New Testament.
But chief among them was likely to be one key concern: Was it the real deal?
Three hundred and thirty years is a lot of time for fan fiction to rise and circulate, after all.
Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, presented the approved books of the New Testament to the world amid much fanfare — and controversy — in 367 AD.
He was touted as having been touched by God: "Athanasius is one who can be trusted: he would not say anything that is not in accord with sacred scripture.â€
His judgment was inviolate.
"No one may add to them and nothing may be taken away from them,†he wrote.
The Apocalypse of James was not among them.
Read the rest.
This from Tim:
Thanks Jack; very interesting. No doubt the Media and other liberals will try to use this to say traditional Christianity is a Medieval invention and so should be discarded. The fact is the two Revelation of James books were written several hundred years after James died, and that's still a fact. Also, it is still full of Gnostic heresy, which came out of Asia after Christ's death.
Notice, too, how the author of the piece keeps referring to James as Jesus Brother. Even in the two books it is made clear this is a title being given James and that he is not Jesus' physical brother. Mainstream media people are monumentally lazy.
It says in Book One:

For not without reason have I called you my brother, although you are not my brother materially.
End quote.
And the rest of it is full of Gnostic nonsense, like the idea that humanity was created by a false "female" god who was insane and we are being rescued by the true God. This is very unChristian and always has been, and I am rather of the opinion it is unJewish too. It clearly comes out of oriental dualism.
