Gospel of Barnabas

The Gospel of Barnabas is a text alleged to be an apocryphal "lost gospel" from the first or second century CE. Most indicators seem to point to its being a 16th century CE forgery, although many sources read as if it were much older.1500 Year Old Bible Claims Jesus Was Never Crucified Some scholars say it is a rewrite of previously existing writings, changed to suit an Islamic interpretation of Jesus. 
==Connection with Islam==
It is promoted by some Muslims because it conforms to the Islamic view of Jesus rather than the Christian one, and because it names Muhammad as a prophet later to come. Most serious scholars hold that the book is of 16th century origin in either Italy or Spain.
Although often mentioned in Islamic apologetics, they view it as a Christian writing and do not give it scriptural status.
Despite being theologically more in line with the Islamic view of Jesus it still differs from Islamic teachings on several points, most notably the lack of an alcohol ban or even temperance (of any sort whatsoever). 
==Size==
The book is a door stopper compared to the four canonical Gospels and consists of 222 chapters — actually longer than the canonical four combined. It appears to be a harmonization of the four Gospels synthesized with Islamic beliefs. Jesus is held to be a prophet but not the son of God, and is said to have escaped crucifixion by being raised into Heaven.Judas Iscariot was allegedly crucified in place of Jesus. It even has Jesus saying specifically that he's "not the Messiah" (but curiously still refers to him as "Christ", which in Greek means… "Messiah").

Gospel of Luke

The Gospel of Luke is the third book of the New Testament of the Bible, following Gospel of Mark and preceding Gospel of John. It is one of the 3 synoptic gospels along with the gospels of Matthew and Mark. 
Luke, like Matthew, contains information about the early life of Jesus, including the most often repeated quotes for the infancy story, and Lazarus (The poor one).
==Authorship==
Luke is generally considered a composite work, combining source material from Mark along with the material of the Q document,The main alternative scenario is that the author of Luke simply read Mark and Matthew and that the common bits between Matthew and Luke are not from Q, but copied directly from Matthew, while the differences between Luke and Matthew are due to the differing theologies of their authors. presumed to be an early collection of the sayings of Jesus, now lost to us. A similar collection of sayings can be found in the Gospel of Thomas. The author of Luke, who is traditionally (though not by scholars) considered a companion to Paul, also wrote the Book of Acts.
==Themes and attitudes==
Luke's gospel portrays Jesus as well-disposed toward women, more so than any other gospel. Compared to Matthew, Luke is more concerned with presenting Jesus as a savior to the Gentiles as well as the Jews.
==Sermon on the Plain==
In the book of Luke, Jesus gave a Readers' Digest condensed version of his famous Sermon on the Mount in Matthew. Some of his most important teachings include:
*Blessed are the censors for they shall inhibit the earth.
*Blessed are the cross-eyed; for they shall see God twice.
*Blessed are the meek, for they shall bite ankles.
*Blessed are the pretty girls, for they shall inherit the men.
*Blessed are the ugly and determined, for they acquire the wealth to command the handsome and clever.
*Blessed are the young for they shall inherit the national debt.
*Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they shall never cease to be amused.

Gospel of Mary

The Gospel of Mary is a collection of writings attributed to Jesus as told through and for Mary of Magdala. As with most Gospels, it is unlikely she wrote it herself; it is more likely that followers of her Church wrote it.John D. Crossan has stated in Jesus, a Revolutionary Biography that there is sufficient evidence to accept that there was a church that was in Mary's name and that it is likely Mary was the leader and preacher. 
Along with the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Judas, the Gospel of Mary is part of the Gnostic tradition, which holds that Jesus passed along secret traditions to his disciples for finding Union with God.
==Mary as Church Leader==
Karen King, in her work on the Nag Hammadi library‎‎, writes of Mary:
==Existent text==
The Gospel of Mary is a fragmented text. Chapters 1-3 and 11-14 have been lost, and some of the other pages, while having been expertly restored, have missing details.

Gospel of Philip

The Gospel of Philip is a gnostic text lostOr, if you are a conspiracy theorist, "intentionally misplaced" to generations of Christians from the 2nd century CE when it was likely written, to the 20th century when it was rediscovered.
==What it is==
Philip had been rumored in Christian scholarship since roughly the 3rd century as "that book", which, along with the Gospel of Judas, pretty much put to shambles the Pauline views of Christianity.
A mostly complete scroll of the Gospel was found in the Nag Hammadi texts, uncovered in 1945. And no, Philip didn't write it, his name was just more famous than Joe the Scribe.
==Why it matters==
*Because Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene.
**Philip reinforces that Jesus was human, that he never died and rose, just lived a nice healthy life till he was captured around 30 years of age and killed by those who wanted to shut him up. Then, you know, he stayed shut up, except as referenced by his students.
**Philip talks of Mary and Jesus' having been lovers, which might have been a translation error for "married". Neither one is exactly a good thing for modern Christianity to deal with.
*Because humans are blessed without priests, and the Church is irrelevant.
*Because sex is pure and good, not dirty. Sex is a gift that should be celebrated, not hidden away for procreation only.
*Because Jesus is a bad and angry mofo: "Jesus came to crucify the world."
==Why it can't matter==
Because people in power don't like it when the God they worship (and get fellow money-donors to worship) says, "You priests and church are not needed."

Gotcha argument

A Gotcha argument is a claim that another's argumentation is invalid because it backs an idiot into a corner that cannot be fought out of, usually through use of facts, logic, and/or scientific knowledge to crush one's superstitions.
Sarah Palin accused reporters of thishttp://observer.com/2008/09/palin-and-mccain-complain-of-gotcha-journalism-in-couric-interview/ — by using the term "gotcha journalism" — as a way to "cover" her inability to answer simple questions and to make the "liberal media" seem like the bad guys trying to discredit her. 
To avoid allegations when arguing with neoconservatives, one must avoid all use of facts, reason, or anything deemed to be "elitist" to them. Shoes, proper grammar, half a brain, a higher education that didn't take 6 years to complete, ability to answer simple questions, ability to talk, the knowledge that the earth isn't flat and older than 6,000 years old, understanding anything outside the US, and owning a foreign car are out.
That being said, two caveats:
# For a "Gotcha question": There is the logical fallacy of the loaded question (sometimes known as the "have you stopped beating your wife"-type question). Consider using that well-defined phrase instead if subjected to one.
# There is something to the vague concept of "Gotcha Journalism", particularly interviews that attempt to back the interviewee into a corner with over-generalization, loaded questions, and various other underhanded methods. Consider calling the piece out as "agenda-driven journalism" or "trying to manufacture a headline" instead, which, while still ad hominem, is at least well-defined ad hominem with fairly clear guideposts to judge if the accusation is at all accurate.

Goy

Goy (גּוֹי) is the Hebrew word for "nation" (plural goyim, גּוֹיִים), and it appears numerous times in the Bible, usually in the phrase "goy kadosh", which directly translates to "holy nation". In modern contexts, however, it refers to anyone who is not Jewish, and is usually invoked as a dog whistle. Among Hebrew- and Yiddish-speakers the term is standard for referring to non-Jews, and has no racist or xenophobic connotations. English-speakers often regard the word as derogatory, and may employ the terms "gentile" or "non-Jew" instead. Google's dictionary defines the term as informal and derogatory.“goy”. "google.com". The Oxford English Dictionary regards the noun as often pejorative, but not the adjective.goy, n. and adj., Oxford English Dictionary.
While Jewish people in the diaspora often frivolously use the term, the term is often employed by cranks, antisemites, and conspiracy theorists to make Jewish people sound racist. If someone uses the term "goy" in an argument having to do with the Federal Reserve, Israel, Zionism, or any other possible crank magnet, chances are you are arguing with a racist lunatic and it is not worth continuing. If they use any variation on the anti-semitic cliche "Oy vey, the goyim know, shut it down!", then those chances shoot up to a near-certainty.
There is a recurring canard among conspiracy theorists and antisemites alike that the term "goyim" means "cattle" in Hebrew."Is Israel a Racist Nation?". viewzone.com."Jewish Talmudic Quotes - Facts Are Facts". rense.com. The actual Hebrew word for "cattle" is "bakar" (בָּקָר). As noted above, the word 'goy' translates to "nation", including that of Israel.
The term "shabbos goy" "Shabbos" and "Shabbes" are the Yiddish equivalent of the Hebrew "Shabbat" (sabbath). Yiddish is spoken primarily by Ashkenazi Jews, who are often the specific target of antisemitic conspiracy theories. refers to a non-Jew who does work for Jews that observant Jews are otherwise not allowed to do during the Sabbath due to religious restrictions. Antisemites also often use the term to refer to people who are alleged to be doing the "dirty work" for the Jews.

Grace Hill Media

Grace Hill Media (GHM) is a public relations firm founded in 2000. Its mission is to promote movies and TV shows with favorable portrayals of Christian people and philosophies. They do this by lobbying pastors to insert plugs into their sermons. The basic message from the pulpit is the same: "If you want to see more pro-Christian TV shows and movies in the theaters, you'll see this even if it's a piece of crap."
GHM also promotes pro-family values projects that supposedly don't offend fundy sensibilities.Although you have to wonder how many pastors pitched Elf (2003) to their congregations. GHM was also the main PR firm behind the Left Behind and Chronicles of Narnia movies. GHM's clientèle expanded after The Passion of the Christ (2004) raked in over $300 million in its first few weeks. Box Office Mojo:The Passion of Christ
GHM has not been 100% effective in its efforts. Many movies and TV shows with what seemed like Christian-friendly themes still bombed over their two decades of existence.Schiller, Gail.

Gradualism

Gradualism is the belief in or the policy of change by gradual, often slow stages.
==Geology and biology==
In science, gradualism is a theory holding that profound change is the cumulative product of slow but continuous processes, often contrasted with catastrophism. The theory was proposed by James Hutton and was later incorporated into Charles Lyell's theory of uniformitarianism. Tenets from both theories were applied to biology and formed the basis of early evolutionary theory.
Charles Darwin was influenced by Lyell's uniformitarianism and theorized that the evolutionary process must occur gradually, and not in saltations. The gradualist view of evolution has been very critical of saltationism.
==Phyletic gradualism==
Phyletic gradualism is a model of evolution which theorizes that most speciation is slow, uniform, and gradual. It is often associated with the neo-Darwinian synthetic theory of evolution. The term was coined by Stephen Jay Gould and Niles Eldredge to contrast with their model of punctuated equilibrium.
The word phyletic derives from the Greek φυλετικός phūletikos, which conveys the meaning of a line of descent. Phyletic gradualism contrasts with the theory of punctuated equilibrium, which proposes that most evolution occurs isolated in rare episodes of rapid evolution, when a single species splits into two distinct species, followed by a long period of stasis or non-change
==Politics==
In politics, gradualism is ideal of gradual reform rather than change through revolt or other sudden means. In American history, it often refers specifically to proposals for a slow phasing-out of slavery, or later of racial segregation.

Graham Capill

Graham Capill is a New Zealand fundamentalist Christian who formed the Christian Heritage political party. He believes strongly in family values and is against homosexuals and all forms of "sexual impropriety". He currently goes by his middle name, John, after his full name became synonymous with hypocrisy after his conviction.
==Background==
Graham Capill was born in 1959 in West Africa to missionary parents. He moved to New Zealand as a child, attending a Christian school in Christchurch. Early in his life, he wanted to be an orchestra conductor but he did an apprenticeship as an avionics engineer. Later, he studied in Australia, obtaining a bachelor of divinity degree in 1986. He returned to New Zealand and became the pastor of a Dunedin church. Not long afterwards, he was appointed leader of the Christian Heritage Party. This was a very conservative, Christian Party, which at its height, attracted 4.3% of the party vote in the 1996 general election. Under the New Zealand electoral system of MMP (mixed member proportional) which was new at the time, the party attracted support, but not sufficient to attain representation in Parliament.Capill's long fall from grace, New Zealand Herald, 14 July 2005.
He completed a law degree and was admitted to the bar in 1998.
He led the Christian Heritage Party for many years, although in 2002 he and the deputy leader, Merepeka Ruakawa-Tait, had a very public split after the party failed to attract 2% in the 2002 general election. Ms Raukawa-Tait expressed concerns over financial accountability.
Capill attracted a great deal of publicity, especially in 2005 after he was charged with rape, indecent assault and unlawful sexual connection with girls under 12 years old. By this time, he was working as a police prosecutor in the Christchurch District Court. He pleaded guilty to various charges in the Christchurch District Court and on 14 July 2005 he was sentenced to nine years imprisonment. Although he was initially declined parole, on 30 August 2011, he was granted parole.Graham Capill to be released from jail, Otago Daily Times.

Grandfather clause

The term grandfather clause is used to describe an exception to a rule or law because something has been around for an arbitrary period of time, technically defined as "long enough" — sufficient to exclude it from compliance with the law. Exemptions may be indefinite or for limited periods of time to allow exempted things to be brought in to compliance.
A grandfather clause may be introduced if the modification or introduction of new laws would create an unreasonable burden on those who lived prior to the changes being implemented. In the United Kingdom, holders of driver's licences were allowed to drive busses and coaches of any size, and with changes made to restrict this in 1992, holders of licences issued prior to the change were still permitted to drive busses and coaches providing they'd driven such vehicles prior to 1992.The Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) (Large Goods and Passenger-Carrying Vehicles) (Amendment) (No. 3) Regulations 1992 Other examples are commonly found in the introduction of regulation, such as building codes, that would be impractical to implement in the case of historical buildings. Although it'd be nice to have wheelchair access to the crown of the Statue of Liberty, it may not be practical to require that the National Parks Service install an elevator.
In the United States, at least, there is also an earlier, uglier usage of the term. After the Civil War, some of the former Confederate states added "grandfather clauses" to their voting rules — someone could vote in an election, if his grandfather had voted in an earlier election. This was a tactic to disenfranchise freed slaves, since almost no former slaves' grandfathers had ever been able to vote. 
Christmas scientists believe that a grandfather clause is a guy who delivered presents once a year until his back gave out - leading him to hand the business over to his son. 
==Examples==
In 2005, the Supreme Court of the United States heard a case regarding a Ten Commandments monument that had been installed in the grounds of the state capitol in Austin, Texas. The court ruled that the monument could remain — the justification being that it had been around for a long time and that no-one had complained earlier.Breyer casts decisive vote on religious displays The court was not specific in stating how long people must wait before their unconstitutional monuments become legal, but certainly it's clear that proponents of the Establishment Clause should not wait for the cement to dry before lodging their complaints.
It is fortunate that the same judges were not ruling on the right of women to vote. The same logic employed would suggest that women should spend less time complaining and more time providing beer and sandwiches to the boys as they discussed the merits of the candidates.

Grant Jeffrey

Grant R. Jeffrey was a Canadian Bible teacher and chairman of Frontier Research Publications. He earned a Masters Degree and a Ph.D in Biblical Studies from the Louisiana Baptist University and he also took post-doctoral courses in Apologetics and Theology at Oxford University. On his website, he says that he "was a professional in the financial planning and insurance brokerage field for 18 years" and "acquired a Chartered Life Underwriter degree (law, pensions, accounting) from the University of Toronto extension program." It was later on when Jeffrey delved into religion, and between 1970 and 1980 taught eschatology part-time at several colleges and was credited as an "expert" in Bible prophecy.
==Beliefs==
===Christianity===
Grant believed we are currently living in the end times.
He was a proponent of intelligent design who dismissed all the evidence for the theory of evolution.
===Environment===
Grant took global warming to be a hoax crafted to destroy the free enterprise system to produce a socialist economy and a plan to drain trillions from western nations to the Third World. According to Jeffrey "The new pagan environmental religion of the 'Church of Global Warming' denies the existence of God the Creator and substitutes in His place the worship of creation, the earth. The coming economic collapse, accelerated by global warming laws and regulations, will lead to international financial chaos. A one-world government will be presented as the only solution, to be followed by the arrival of the Antichrist, an economic, religious, and military dictator."Grant Jeffrey, "The Global Warming Deception."
