Title
ONE - The Unified Gospel. The Original Unified Gospel of Jesus. Bible, Bibles and Gospel Reference.
Description
Excerpted from the website:
The Unified Gospel of Jesus. ONE is the unification of the four separate Christian Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Although there are four source Gospels, there is only one Gospel of Jesus. A unified gospel is the combined Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John unified into one seamless text. The authority of a unified gospel is determined by the detail of the documentation process that allows the reader to source the unified text back to the divine works.
The goal of a unified gospel is to present the single gospel of Jesus that transcends all four source Gospels. For example, the description of the crucifixion of Jesus is told partially by each of the four Gospels. That is, you cannot read only one Gospel to understand the circumstances of the crucifixion. In a unified gospel, because the text of all four Gospels is unified seamlessly, the reader is able to read about the entire situation more in the nature of a novel. However, what separates a unified gospel from a unauthoritative narration is the documented process of unification, so that the reader can verify the text back to the original sources. The first documented unified gospel is ONE, by Gregg Zegarelli.
- Detailed Description: Christians know that there are four separate Gospels of Jesus: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The Gospels describe the life of Jesus, including his teachings and the circumstances of his death with first-hand statements of Jesus himself. However, as Christians also know, none of the four Gospels contain the entire story of Jesus.
For example:
- Only Matthew tells the story of the "wise men" visiting Jesus at birth.
- Only Luke tells the story of the Shepherds visiting Jesus at birth.
- Only Mark tells the time that Jesus was crucified.
- Only John tells the story of Jesus washing the Apostles feet.
- Only Matthew and Luke share the story of the Poor Woman's Gift.
- Only Matthew and Mark share the story of the Greatest Commandment.
- Only Luke tells the "Father forgive them, they know not what they do" quotation from Jesus on the cross.
Therefore, to grasp the entire life and teachings of Jesus, the reader must read four books: all four Gospels. Then, the reader must try to remember all the text and integrate it in the reader's mind to understand the entire message. In reality, only scholars have the capability to accomplish such a reconciliation through very detailed study. Everyone else learns about Jesus in bits and pieces. For some, it's just too hard.
Let us illustrate with one representative example: In Matthew 18:21-22, the command to forgive is as follows:
Then Peter approaching asked him, 'Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times?' Jesus answered, "You should forgive him, not seven times but seventy-seven times.
In Luke 17:3-4, it is as follows:
Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he wrongs you seven times in one day and returns to you seven times saying, 'I am sorry,' you should forgive him.'
Only Luke has an express condition of repentance. A reader of the Gospels must put these two different verses together in his or her mind to gain a full understanding of the message. In ONE, the text reads as follows:
[1707] Then Peter approaching asked him, "Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times?" [1708] Jesus answered, [1709] “Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. [1710] And if he wrongs you seven times in one day and returns to you seven times saying, 'I am sorry,' you should forgive him. [1711] I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times."
