Rediscovery of Early Christianity

John the Baptist and the rediscovery of early Christianity
Edmond Bordeaux Szekely, a theology student from Transylvania, had the privilege, thanks to his father's relationship with Prefect Giovanni Mercati, of researching the Vatican's secret archives. There, in 1923, he discovered a four-part manuscript written in Aramaic: "The Gospel of the Essenes". Parallel to his research in the secret archives, he discovered Hebrew fragments of this manuscript in a trunk at the Monte Cassino monastery, fragments whose existence confirms the 2000-year age of the Gospel of the Essenes. He translated and published it. When the desire of enthusiastic readers to consult the original ancient document arose, the Vatican denied ever having been in possession of such a gospel. Since then, Edmond Szekely has been accused of deception and it has been suggested that he himself wrote the Essene Gospel.
Since the Essene Gospel was considered a forgery, and the Catholic Church was aware of the document's explosive potential, it was never investigated theologically.
The Gospel of John the Baptist
It took me seven years of intensive research to prove the authenticity of the Essene Gospel. I worked almost every day into the night, sifting through all the first-century writings I could get my hands on. The Gospel of the Essenes was a work I could attribute to John the Baptist. Over the years, I discovered other gospe ls that also turned out to be the teachings of John the Baptist and could be attributed to him. In some cases, these writings complemented the Essene Gospel and helped me to understand it better. Paradoxical as it may seem, the whole of the New Testament turned out to be the key to reconstructing the whole of the Gospel of John the Baptist.
Reconstruction of the Gospel of John the Baptist: "There was no crucifixion of the Son of God for the sins of men"
The demonstration of the authenticity of the Essene Gospel overturns the whole of Christian doctrine and shows it to be a 2000-year-old sham. There was no crucifixion of the Son of God for the sins of men. This lie was invented to re-establish the Roman order.
