Hebrews was reputedly used first and almost exclusively by the early JewishChristian church, and was also called by Eusebius the "Gospel according to the Hebrews and Syrians," "by which he meant it was used by the Jews in Syria, as elsewhere," a view confirmed by Jerome, who also affirmed that "the Gospel of the Hebrews was written 'in the Chaldee and Syriac languages.' It appears it was used by the Nazarenes residing in Berea, Syria ..."30 The Gospel of Hebrews was sometimes confused with the Gospel of Matthew, possibly because it represented the Egyptian "Oracles of TahtMatiu." The Gospel of the Hebrews contained the "Logia Iesou" or Sayings of Jesus and was non-historicizing, containing no immaculate conception, genealogy "from Abraham to Christ" or childhood history.

The Gospel of the Egyptians or Diegesis

Another text utilized in the creation of Christianity was the "Gospel of the Egyptians," which predated the canonical gospels and was written by the Therapeuts. Of the Gospel of the Egyptians, Waite says:

The original of this gospel may have been in use among the Therapeutae of Egypt, a long time before the introduction of Christianity, the passages related to Christ being afterward added. Or it may have been written in another country, and brought into Egypt, with the Christian religion. In either case it may be dated as early as A.D. 110 to 115. . . . The story of Joseph and Mary appears not to have been known when this gospel was written. Neither is any thing said, so far as we have information of its contents, of the miracles of Christ, or of the material resurrection.31

Taylor states that the "narrative" mentioned by Luke, i.e., the Diegesis, was the Gospel of the Egyptians:

The first draft of the mystical adventures of Chrishna, as brought from India into Egypt, was the Diegesis; the first version of the Diegesis was the Gospel according to the Egyptians; the first renderings out of the language of Egypt into that of Greece, for the purpose of imposing on the nations of Europe, were the apocryphal gospels; the correct, castigated, and authorised versions of these apocryphal compilations were the gospels of our four evangelists.

The Gospel of Truth, the Gospel of Thomas and the Acts of Thomas

In addition, a number of the Gnostic gospels barely mention "Jesus" or "Christ," referring instead to the abstract "Savior," such as the Gospel of Truth (150 CE) and the Gospel of Thomas, which was composed primarily of the Logia Iesou and written in Aramaic/Syriac, representing the Tammuz faction. Furthermore, the apocryphal Acts of Thomas were likely forged to explain how the "Christians of St. Thomas" ended up in India; however, as demonstrated, these "Christians" were Tammuz followers already in India possibly millennia before the Christian era.

The Protevangelion, or Book of James

Used by the forgers of Matthew and Luke, the Protevangelion is one of the oldest Judaized narratives, written by a Hellenic Jew around 120-130 CE. The text was originally Indian and Egyptian, with the myth of Isis-Mari and Seb becoming Mary and Joseph, and was somewhat "historicized" with the mythical persecution by Herod, who is made to take the role of both the Indian Kansa and the Egyptian Set-Typhon.

Furthermore, into the portions of the Protevangelion used by the evangelists were interpolated phrases to "fulfill prophecy": For example, the verses at Matthew 1:22-23 about the "virgin" conceiving and bearing a son called Emmanuel are not found in the earlier Protevangelion. Also missing is Luke 4:24: "And he said, Truly, I say to you, no prophet is acceptable in his own country."' This interpolation was made to make Jesus, the ubiquitous solar savior and wisdom genius, appear to be a Jewish man.

The Gospel of the Infancy

Dating to around 120-130, the Gospel of the Infancy was attributed by Jerome to "Matthew" but was "received by the Gnostics," thus not taken literally. The original Gospel of the Infancy was based on the Hindu story of Krishna's childhood, the Bhagavat Purana, apparently procured from the Indian Nazarene
