Really? So God didn't get us the REAL Word of God now for.... 7000 years unless we dig further for this SPECIAL TRUTH found in some obscure other manuscript?
I guess God was misleading all of us till we find that website to know what we should believe instead.

Read 1 Corinthians 2:1-2 then 3:1-2. Paul essentially tells everyone that Jesus Christ and him crucified is the milk and not the solid food. The whole Christian system is based on a carnal elementary understanding of Jesus.
First off, Jesus is not God. Secondly, the OT and NT are allegorical portrayals of the Mind written in quasi-historical form to preserve the higher teachings due to lower minded people taking them as their history and preserving them. Thirdly, the Biblical books are not totally free from corruption and have undergone heavy editing at the hands of the church to reinforce their dogma.
If you want Jesus' actual teachings check out the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of the Holy Twelve, and nazirene.org.
The whole God gave you the Bible so people would know what to believe is a big larp. Paul says God can be understood by examining and understanding nature, not a book called the Bible. Nature's the real word of God, but people just ignore what Paul said and don't understand all the implications of it.
Check out nazirene.org of you are ready to mature beyond the corrupted Christianity that tradition has handed us.
