The Great Deception
It is widely recognized by New Testament scholars that many of the sayings and actions attributed to Jesus in the gospels cannot be factually traced to him. To a considerable degree, these stories have been influenced, or even created, by the early church. Despite this gap between the "Jesus of history" and the "Christ of faith," the contemporary church continues to represent the traditional New Testament canon as a generally accurate record of the life of Jesus. The Great Deception exposes the dangers that accompany this disingenuous, unscientific approach and calls for a more rigorous treatment of the gospels. In a clear, straightforward narrative, Gerd Lüdemann establishes the criteria by which he believes it possible to distinguish inauthentic from authentic sayings and actions of Jesus, and then shows which quotes and deeds can be regarded as factual. His radical conclusion is that the Jesus of history, who emerges after the falsehoods attributed to him are pared away, cannot support the traditional Christian faith. Lüdemann's historical analysis reveals, nonetheless, a Jesus who remains a deeply sympathetic personality and one of the great religious figures of the world. But it also shows that Christian leaders who ignore the results of sound scholarship are selling the faithful a "great deception."

The Great Deception For centuries, millions have followed a god of judgment, war, and vengeance, believing they were honoring Jesus Christ. But what if everything we thought we knew about God was the result of a great confusion? What if the image we embraced was not the true Heavenly Father that Jesus came to reveal? This book uncovers the hidden truth that has been clouded by distorted doctrines and traditions. It challenges the picture of a dark, tribal, and violent god, and instead reveals the true Father of light and love that Jesus proclaimed: a Father full of compassion, mercy, and unconditional love. The Great Deception is an essential work for those who long to be free from fear-based beliefs and discover the true message of Jesus - the message of love and light that has always been present, waiting to be rediscovered. If you are ready to leave behind religious error and embrace the God that Jesus revealed, this book will guide you to the freedom of truth and the light of the Father.

More than ever we live in the reality of 2 Thessalonians 2, which refers to the great falling away or rebellion. The Greek word translated as “rebellion” or “falling away” in verse 3 of the Scripture is apostasia, from which we get the English word apostasy. It refers to a general defection from the true God, the Bible, and the Christian faith. In such perilous times of deception and spiritual corruption, a great need exists to seek the Lord, to follow His will, to obey His truths and to follow His narrow path of holiness. To restore the altar is truly to be a living sacrifice in service of God – a servant who will not compromise with the world and who seeks to only glorify God above all.
