The Very First Bible : Mitchell, A W: desertcart.in: Books Review: Returned. - It's not the real first bible Review: A slightly watered down version of Luke, completely unlike and even at odds with the major reconstructions such as from Roth, BeDuhn, Klinghardt. There is a minute useful part at the end where it gets explained in a few pages how Christianity slapped the "Old Testament" onto Marcion in an effort to shoehorn it into the new dogma. Marcion composed his gospel before Mark, Luke and Matthew, yes - but it was nothing like this. Regarding the Apostolikon there are a handful of useful takeaways but the reconstruction of it is similar to that of the Evangellion: just a text that is almost identical to what we have, without any notes, motivations, or anything useful

Always felt the god of the old testament (Jewish bible) wasn't God, the Father of Jesus. Things didn't make sense to me. So, when I discovered the Very First Bible, I immediately knew my heart was right all along. It's not a mystery. It's plain and simple. It's light vs. darkness! Plus, the first sentence tells you straight that Jesus descended - from above (not born from Mary or whoever!) I recommend this book, even for the sceptics. You make your mind up, at the end. Belief is personal.

To those interested in christian churches history. This is the bible according to Marcion who rejected the OT. Because of that, he was excommunication by the oryhodox (in the sense of early majority Christian church, not in the sense we use it today to define the eastern russian/greek church). His position was not baseless however, he just noticed the obvious differences between the OT God and the NT idea of God. But he did not understand that rejecting the OT meas rejecting the NT which quotes the OT and references it. The orthodox church (again in the sense of majority), understood this issue but not Marcion it seems. This issue if tackled would render the faith void as Paul said. Interesting to note also that the christian marcionite church survided as late as the 10th century in islamic ruled lands (Syria and Persia) while the church "disappeared in the 4th century in the roman lands after Constantine declared it heretical.
