I was looking over the differences between Bibles and ventured in to the apocrypha. Never really gave much thought in the past but this time I came across something called The Lost Gospel Q. Couldn't find much info on it. Does anyone have an insight of this?

Q source is I believe from a Greek term for "original source" aka Straight from the lips of Jesus Christ.

Edit: from Greek, "quelle" meaning "source". https://www.christianity.com/jesus/is-jesus-god/the-gospels/what-is-the-q-source.html

"Quelle" is German

Could Q have acquired the lost gospel and using the teachings to unite us?

The "Lost Gospels" are a collection of non-canonical gospels. They weren't approved by the Council of Nicea as they presented differing perspectives on the teachings of Jesus. Ones that weren't in line with the politics of the day.

Hi, Eldorann. Here they're talking about the Q document, which is thought to be the precursor source for some of the common parts of the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_source

Yes. These teachings are very simple and uncorrupted. The true Gospel of Yeshua.

Revelation22Now, you said, "Yes. These teachings are very simple and uncorrupted. The true Gospel of Yeshua."

Amen. Yet they come uncorrupted in the New Testament, too. No major teachings are lost to the church. Rather, most people just don't want to take seriously what Yeshua is saying.

Revelation22Now ago

Agreed. My study tells me the same. This feels good. Thanks.

You're welcome!

The recovery of the Q manuscript is not necessary for that objective, SwampDonkey318. The New Testament abounds in this already.

I like that the current Q movement is centered around the reality of Jesus Christ as our Dying and Resurrecting Savior and the primacy of the New Testament in particular.

Much of my life's writings have been directed toward showing that reality to people: that Yeshua the Messiah is real and that He loves us.

And truth will free us, as He promised.
