The Gospel Corrupted: When Jesus was Made God
WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL GOSPEL OF THE FIRST CHRISTIANS?
IT WAS NOT JESUS IS GOD, THE SECOND PERSON OF THE TRINITY.
Kermit Zarley’s The Gospel Corrupted: When Jesus Was Made God is a 100-page, easy-to-read primer for his magnum opus The Restitution: Biblical Proof Jesus Is Not God (570 pp.). In this little book, Zarley focuses on the gospel, the “good news” of the early Christians as it is related in the New Testament. He shows that later church fathers were influenced by Greek philosophy in changing the gospel by abandoning Jewish monotheism and falsely asserting that Jesus is God and God is three Persons.
Zarley begins by telling his story about how he was a Trinitarian for 22 years and then one day came to question that Jesus is God while reading his Olivet Discourse wherein Jesus said he did not know the time of his second coming. Kermit then undertook a 28-year study of Jesus's identity that resulted in him affirming all that the church has proclaimed about the identity of Jesus except the dogma that he is God. Zarley shows that the New Testament gospel, which he says must be believed for salvation, is not about Jesus Christ being God but that he is "Lord," he died for our sins, and God raised him from dead.
Chapter 6 is this book's highlight. It shows in the book of Acts there is A MISSING LINK between the gospel of the first Christians and that of the later church fathers. Acts has 24 evangelistic messages, or summaries thereof, that were proclaimed by Jesus's disciples, mostly Peter and Paul, yet there is nothing in them about Jesus being God. The author concludes, "If that isn't solid evidence revealing that church fathers corrupted the original gospel, I don't know what is. CASE CLOSED!"
