What is the basis for saying that the New Testament "is now a mashup of theological theories much of which appealed to the Roman pagans of that day".
Jesus’ Good News of the re-bestowal of God's Gift of his Divine Love (Essence/Nature–withdrawn after the default of the first parents), agapē in the Greek New Testament, which he taught and demonstrated in his person as the re-birth (“born again,” “born from above,” “born of God”) into the Kingdom of God, was essentially lost to future generations (though some found it) in the extensive editing, rewriting and expanding of the various records and letters of his early disciples when the New Testament as we know it was being created by priests under the direction of Constantine of Rome who wanted a single mandatory state religion to consolidate his power and didn't care whether it was paganism or Christianity but knew that Christians would choose death over paganism, and so, went with Christianity.

Are you actually claiming that The Padgett Messages that were received by one man in the early 20th Century are more authoritative than the New Testament???
Thank you. I will stop calling them the Padgett Messages. They are a lot more extensive than that sounds and, in fact, are still coming today. They are
not the work of one man.
Yes, they are more authoritative.
"Thus far I have spoken to you only in parables...but a time is coming when I will tell you plainly about the Father." Jesus, 29 AD (John 16:25)
Jesus' Second Coming Message Series began in 1914, just before the beginning of the 1st World War. Jesus selected one James E. Padgett, an attorney, actually the Assistant District Attorney of Washington D.C., as his instrument for receiving these messages through automatic writing. It was necessary for Jesus to "coach" Mr. Padgett for many months on continuing to earnestly pray for the receipt of God's Love before the necessary rapport could be established to accurately receive the full content of the messages that Jesus intended to deliver to the world.
It was also difficult for Mr. Padgett, a Methodist Sunday School Teacher to overcome His doubts that this was really Jesus of the Bible communicating with him. It was quite a serious problem which was only resolved by the flowing, more and more, of God's Love into his soul as he prayed for it.
Since Mr. Padgett's passing in 1923, various other persons of sensitive nature have been tagged to deliver the continuing series of messages by various methods, all of whom had to be developed in their possession of the Divine Love to the extent necessary to achieve rapport with the inhabitants of the Kingdom of God who had messages to deliver. This guaranteed (to the extent possible) that only Truth would be delivered to us.
To date, in this Series, there are thousands (over 6,000?) of messages from hundreds of spirit beings through dozens of inspired/developed mediums. They can be found at soultruth.ca and newbirth.net
Following is the true "Lord's Prayer" that Jesus taught his disciples to pray before extended periods of silent communion with God. "...Could you not
watch with me one hour?" (Matthew 26:40)
The Prayer to the Father to Receive His Divine Love
"Our Father in heaven, we recognize:
That You Are–are all holy and loving and merciful, and that we are the children of Your care and not the subservient, sinful and depraved creatures that our false teachers would have us believe.
"That we are the greatest of Your creations and the most wonderful of all Your handiworks, and that we are the objects of Your great soul-love and tenderest care.
"That Your will is that we become at-one with You and partake of the great love which You have given to us through Your mercy and desire that we become, in truth, Your children; and not through the sacrifice and death of any one of Your creatures.
"That You will open up our souls to the inflowing of Your love, and that then will come Your Holy Spirit to bring into our souls, this, Your love in great abundance until our souls may be transformed into the very essence of Yourself; and that there may come to us faith–such faith as will cause us to realize that we are truly Your children and that we are one with You in very substance and not in image only.
"Give us such faith as will cause us to know that You are our Father and the giver of every good and perfect gift, and that only we, ourselves, can prevent Your love changing us from the mortal to the immortal.
"May we never cease to realize that Your love is waiting for each and all of us, and that when we come to You in faith and earnest aspiration, Your love will never be withheld from us.
"Keep us in the shadow of Your love every hour and moment of our lives, and help us to overcome all temptations of the flesh and the influences of the power of the evil ones, who so constantly surround us and endeavor to turn our thoughts away from You to the pleasures and allurements of this world.
"We thank You for Your love and for the possibility of receiving it, and believe that You are our Father–the loving Father who smiles upon us in our weakness, and is always ready to help us and take us to His arms of love.
"We pray this with all the earnestness and longing of our souls, and trusting in Your love give You all the glory and honor and love that our finite souls can give.”
Jesus, 12/2/1916 AD
