New New Testament Gospel of Mark

By Steve Howard

So, was the tree of knowledge a fig tree or was it marijuana. Marijuana is never mentioned but we get a repeat on the fig tree and Jesus getting mad at it. It makes Jesus look a little silly really. But he gets on in to the temple and tells the priests and lawyers that they are thieving snakes. Many miss this point that is often repeated. He was actually against the established rule. So it is ironic that a religion of rules be made of the man that was said to have sad all the contradicing things the writers tell us he said. No one knows what Jesus Christ said. No one even knows if there was a fellow named Jesus Christ that said anything. It is often the way with religion. They are old myths brought back to life and for some reason people prefer to believe them rather than understand them.

Well, enough of belief. Steve Howard writes to expose some light on the story that supposed to have so many secrets.

The Gospel According to MARK

mark chapter 01

Allow me, your blasphemous yet humble narrator, a short introduction before embarking on the story told from the voice of Mark.

To understand the story of Jesus, one should understand the process of story telling. Go read a thousand books and you will see that the story is always somehow about us. Stories or history or fiction. People of another time in the past or the future. Someone accomplishes something out of the normal to become material for a story to tell others. To show them how it was done and perhaps to show how it can be done.

Usually, in the case of historic or religious writings, men sit down with an objective to promote their way of thinking. Mind manipulation.

Jesus is a character in a story. He or someone like him was likely real. And there have been many and will be many more very much like him. Though not all would agree. Darwin, Nietzsche, Galileo, Copernicus and so many others were all poking at the same thing.

Our ancestors did not know everything. In truth, they knew very little. So instead of worshipping them or their concepts of God, we must learn to embrace change and evolution. Knowledge and understanding.

If something in a book that claims to be the God’s truth sounds impossible, it might be just that. It is not a magic trick to write: THESE ARE THE WORDS OF GOD. OBEY OR GO TO HELL.

What matters in the Jesus Christ story is the rejection of the laws of Moses. Break away from the trodden path and forge a new direction in the quest to understand the world and beyond it.

Okay. It is not wise to believe.

Mark starts with John the Baptist promoting the ‘forget your sins’ campaign. People went for it. Bob Marley sings the same thing:

"If you know what life is worth,
