The newfound resources provided a small measure of comfort, but the shadow of suspicion and mistrust lingered, a constant threat to their already precarious existence. They had survived the attack, but the war within Rapid City had only just begun, a war fought not with guns and blades, but with suspicion, betrayal, and the relentless erosion of trust.

| This book is based on the actual gospel of Mary the Magdalene: The Gospel of Mary Magdalene was first discovered in the late 19th century, with the most important surviving fragment found in 1896. This fragment, known as the Berlin Codex (Papyrus Berolinensis 8502), was discovered near Akhmim in Upper Egypt and purchased in Cairo by German scholar Carl Reinhardt www.gnosis.org. It was later taken to Berlin, where it was preserved and eventually published in 1955 www.gnosis.org. In addition to the Berlin Codex, smaller fragments of the text were found in the Oxyrhynchus Papyri in Egypt, with the earliest Greek fragment (Papyrus Oxyrhynchus L 3525) dating to the early 3rd century Wikipedia. These discoveries revealed that the Gospel of Mary existed in both Greek and Coptic versions and was part of a Gnostic manuscript collection. Scholars generally date the composition of the Gospel of Mary to the second century AD, though some place it slightly earlier Wikipedia. It is not considered one of the four canonical Gospels and reflects Gnostic theological ideas rather than the mainstream Christian narrative Bible Hub. |
Theological implications of Mary Magdalene’s role in the Gospel of Mary are profound and have been a source of considerable debate. The Gospel of Mary places a woman at the forefront of spiritual revelation and transmission. #religion #Christianity #history #WendellSweet religion, Christianity, history, Wendell Sweet

This re-evaluation does not necessitate a rejection of the canonical Gospels, but rather a richer, more contextualized reading of them, informed by the wider spectrum of early Christian literature. It means understanding that the “orthodox” narrative that eventually prevailed was not the only narrative at play in the 1st and 2nd centuries. #religion #Christianity #history #WendellSweet religion, Christianity, history, Wendell Sweet
| This book is based on the gospel of Mary the Magdalene as well as other gospels: The first centuries of Christianity involved major debate over which books belonged in the New Testament canon. Generally, books widely believed to be the earliest accounts about Jesus made it in, while others were labeled apocryphal. Some of those rejected texts were actively suppressed and now exist only as fragments or references in writings that condemned them. Early canon lists also differed from today’s: Revelation was disputed by some, while the Shepherd of Hermas was accepted by others and even appears in Codex Sinaiticus after Revelation. Different traditions had their own variations. The Syriac Peshitta originally excluded 2 Peter, 2 John, 3 John, Jude, and Revelation, leaving a 22-book canon cited by John Chrysostom and Theodoret. Western Syrian churches added those five books later, though some Eastern churches still use lectionaries based on the original 22. The Armenian Apostolic Church sometimes included 3 Corinthians and didn’t accept Revelation into its Bible until around 1200 CE. In a patriarchal society it was easy to suppress the gospel of Mary among other texts that did not fit the narrative the church wished for. |

| Long Live the King |
The King is dead, the headlines screamed. A hard, hard day. But, what if the king wasn’t dead? What if the king just got fed up with all of it and called it quits…
The quiet cadence of Aaron’s days was rarely broken by external disruptions. His hermitage in the bayou was, by design, an exercise in profound isolation. Yet, the world, like an persistent tide, would occasionally lap at the shores of his self-imposed exile. These intrusions were not of the dramatic, attention-grabbing variety that had once defined his existence. Instead, they arrived as fleeting whispers, carried on the humid air or snagged by the errant radio waves that sometimes pierced the dense foliage surrounding his cabin. #Mystery #ElvisPresley #Whatif #KU #Kindle #Readers #DellSweet
Serial Killers: Elizabeth Bathory
Elizabeth Báthory (1560–1614) — often called the “Blood Countess” — was a Hungarian noblewoman from the powerful Báthory family. She’s infamous as one of history’s most prolific alleged female serial killers.
Some may argue that she is not a true serial killer, but I would say read the evidence in this book TrueCrime #SerialKillers #SamWolfe #ElizabethBathory #Murder #Biography #Non Fiction, Elizabeth Bathory, Sam Wolfe, Serial Killers, True Crime
In the epoch before epochs, before the first star ignited or the first whisper of thought coalesced, there existed a state of being so profound, so utterly complete, that it defied definition. The very essence of all that could possibly manifest was present, not as individual threads, but as a unified, unshaped whole, a perfect stillness that contained within it the potential for every conceivable hue, every conceivable sound, every conceivable form, and every conceivable emotion. It was a state of pure, unadulterated being, a state of absolute potential, where the concept of ‘is’ was synonymous with ‘could be.’ #Mystical #Mythology #Epic #Fantasy Audible #Kindle
The air in the back room of the dimly lit Italian restaurant was thick with the scent of stale garlic and unspoken threats. Vinnie “The Hammer” Moretti, a man whose reputation preceded him like a bad omen, leaned back in his chair, a half-empty glass of wine swirling in his hand. His eyes, dark and shrewd, scanned the faces of the men seated before him. George Topsfield, his usual veneer of polite composure strained, fidgeted with the cuff of his expensive shirt. Across from him sat Marco, Vinnie’s enforcer, a hulking brute with a face carved from granite and eyes that held the unsettling calm of a predator. #Crime #HitMan #OrganizedCrime #Mystery #Thriller #Drama
The stench of stale urine and rotting garbage clung to the air, a familiar perfume in George Topsfield’s nocturnal endeavors. Rain, a relentless drizzle that had plastered itself to the city for days, slicked the cobblestones of the alley, turning the already dismal space into a treacherous, reflective mirror of the neon-drenched city above.
