The Common Thread: Reflecting Upon Religious Beliefs and Myths Gentry, John & Kristie

Publisher Marketing: The Common Thread is a non-fiction manuscript comparing the similarities between all religions, beginning with basic Christianity and Judaism, expanding to include numerous others such as Islam, the scientific theories, Hinduism, indigenous tribes throughout the world and history, and many more. Over the eons, mankind has continuously altered information concerning religion to suit personal agendas. These various changes have allowed a spew of disputes to continue shifting religions, creating divides and also began the unnecessary need to tread lightly, attempting to prevent from offending others because we all have varying beliefs. As Christians, our largest enemy has been both the churches and the laws of various empires. There are a recorded total of no less than ten manuscripts which have been eliminated from the current copy of the Holy Bible. The reasoning these scriptures were left out, according to various historians is they are either unimportant or provide conflicting information to the views of the religions which were arising throughout historical times. A prime example of one of the more important manuscripts missing would be The Secrets of Enoch. It acquires this claim due to the fact the apostles and Christ himself even quote the manuscripts this man left behind before being the only human to transcend to heaven without death. With this as our guide, my husband and I began to examine all the information available. The deeper we began to rummage through the available information of religions throughout history, we began discovering the truth that all religions have a similar origin, as well as, all perfectly can be placed together to create a perfect and complete puzzle. John and I are a husband and wife who originally began researching religion to discover our own personal beliefs. To support our capability of accurately researching this subject, we are in the process of obtaining our Bachelor's in Religion, after which we intend to begin striving towards our Doctrine in Theology. For fear of the time involved in this project, we have elected to begin the complete documentation of our comparisons, creating The Common Thread.
