Abegg, Wise
and Cook, editors of an edition of the Dead Sea Scrolls,
maintain that it is quite obvious that
there was originally a Vegetarian Bible
that was rewritten as carnivorous,
that is, rewritten to sanction the animal
sacrifices. The editors also
maintain that during the earliest days of
Christianity, Jesus and his disciples
were vegetarian, as can be seen by
the mission of Jesus being to abolish
the animal sacrifices as stated in
"Epistle to the Hebrews." Abolishing
the animal sacrifices was of course
Jesus' intent in the episode of the
cleansing of the temple. Just as Jesus,
the teacher of vegetarianism was changed
by the Pauline establishmnet and
emperor Constantine into a Jesus
who said "all foods are clean," thereby
justifying the profit making brutality
of those who sacrificed cattle and sold their
flesh to eat, so too, did a cattleman
cult that enslaved and slaughtered cattle,
change the original Torah, which, as
we shall easily ascertain, was filled with
vegetarian lessons, into scriptures
that sanctioned profiting from animal
slaughter.
THE TORAH WAS REWRITTEN IN PART TO SANCTION ANIMAL SACRIFICES
Zechariah Perfectly Exposed Those who Profited
From Killing instead of Protecting Other Creatures.
Such was the Nature of Those who Overthrew
The Original Jewish Vegetarians.
"Thus said
the Lord my God: `Become shepherd of the flock
doomed to
slaughter. Those who buy them slay them and go
unpunished;
and those who sell them say, "Blessed be the
Lord, I have
become rich"'; and their own shepherds have no
pity on them."
11: 4-5.
The original Jews were creation-centered
rather than human-centered.
The cult that overthrew the vegetarians
was speciesist, as Peter Singer would
say, affirming that humans were superior
to other creatures, instead of being
their equals. In the quotation below
from Sirach, we can see the
human-centered tunnel vision of the
cult that became Jewish orthodoxy,
contrasted with the view of a Deity
who loves all creation infinitely, and who had
therefore established a vegetarian
covenant.
The love of a man is for his neighbor,
but the love of the Lord is for all living beings.
Sirach 18: 13.
The clause "The love of a man is for his neighbor" is human-centered.
The clause "but the love of the Lord is for all living beings" is creation-centered.
Speciesism, the assertion
in Genesis 1: 26-28, that humans have the
right to subdue the earth and have
dominion over other creatures, instead
of living in harmony with them, defines
the fallen state itself.
THE VEGETARIAN COVENANT OF GENESIS 1: 29-30
1. We see vegetarianism
in the first chapter of "Genesis," in the
vegetarian covenant of 1: 29-30.
Even orthodox Jewish Rabbis admit that
the original diet commanded by God
was vegetarianism. Genesis 1: 29-30
makes this indisputable.
"And God said
`Behold I have given you every plant yielding seed
which is upon the face of the earth,
and every tree with seed in its fruit;
you shall have them for food. And to
every beast of the earth and to every
bird of the air and to everything that
creeps on the earth, everything that
has the breath of life, I have given
every green plant for food.'" l: 29-30.
The Late Prophets, Jesus, James and the Ebionites,
All regarded the Animal Sacrifices as Part of the Fall.
The "Gospel of Philip" Says the Fall was
"Eating from the Tree of Animals,"
And that "This world eats corpses" but Jesus Did Not.
Animal Skins in Paradise?
The
Existence of Animal Skins in a Place that was Formerly Paradise
Is in itself Evidence of the Fallen State,
The Breaking of the Vegetarian Covenant.
2. We see vegetarianism erased, but
rather sloppily, in succeeding
chapters of Genesis, for example, in
the description of the Fall of Adam
and Eve, who ate, as the Jewish Christian
Philip said, from the Tree of
Animals, a view concurred with by the
majority of the late prophets who
denounce the animal sacrifices.
Even the orthodox Old Testament in a
low key manner gives us evidence of
what occurred. For in a
Paradise that was devoid of death,
suddenly, after the Fall, God gives
Adam and Eve animal skins, which are
derived from killing animals, with
which to clothe themselves. But there
was no death before the Fall. In
other words, even the orthodox Old
Testament hints that killing other
creatures was part of the Fall.
This is in fact strongly confirmed in the
Ethiopic Book of Enoch. And for
that reason that book was deemed
apocryphal by the Jewish patriarchs
who defined orthodoxy.
Moreover, before the Fall, all the animals were blessed:
"And God made
the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the
cattle according to their kinds, and
everything that creeps upon the
ground according to its kind.
And God saw that it was good." 1: 24. RSV.
But after the fall they are cursed. God says to the serpent:
"cursed are you above all cattle,
and above all wild animals." 3: 14.
The Fall of Adam and Eve is No Mystery.
The Assertion in Genesis 1:26-28
That Humans are to Subdue the Earth
and Have Dominion Over Other Creatures
In Itselfl Defines the Fallen State of Disharmony.
Except to those attempting
to sanctify their addiction to flesh eating, an
addiction which results in supporting
brutal evil acts inflicted upon other
creatures, or those wishing to present
a divine sanction for their profiting
from the exploitation of other creatures,
such as industrialists, the Fall is
no mystery whatsoever. Before
the Fall the animals were blessed; after
the Fall they are cursed, because the
Fall instituted animal sacrifices as
well as the notion that other creatures
may be subdued or dominated, i.e.
hunted, snaired, displaced, enslaved,
killed.
Cultures of Dominators and Dominated,
of Governors and the Governed (of the Rich and Poor),
Themselves Demonstrate the State of Disharmony.
If creatures are
subdued or dominated, there is no longer a community
of all living creatures living harmoniously
together, such as exists in
Genesis 1: 29-30, but a culture in
which there is the dominator and the
dominated, the subduer and the subdued.
And, as the history presented in the
Torah demonstrates, this also translates
into a culture of rich and poor, the
governors and the governed, masters
and slaves, which is the same culture of
all the industrial nations today, which
are ruled by governments comprised of
the elite rich. Therefore resentment-breeding
societies are perpetuated.
In the Original Hebrew Version of the Cain and Abel Story,
Cain
the Vegetarian Farmer Following the Covenant of Genesis 1: 30
Was Regarded as Good
And Abel, the Bible's first Explicit Killer, was Evil.
Cain
was the Zealous Avenger Against the Killer of God's Creatures,
His Name is the Source of the Talmud's Kanna-im,
Meaning Zealot and Avenging Priest.
3. We see Vegetarianism erased in the
universal archetypal battle between
the vegetarian Cain and the carnivore
Abel, a story which was originally
told from the opposite point of view,
namely a vegetarian point of view in
which Cain was the hero, defending
the lives of creatures created by the
Creator, Shiva, the Lord of Creatures
and Protector of Cattle, by killing
Abel, the killer of creatures.
Cain's Name is Related to El Kana or El Chanan,
A Name of God in the Old Testament.
Kannan is the Tamil Hindu Name of Krishna.
Kannan is the Origin of the Name of the Land of Canaan,
The Promised Land of Milk and Honey
Favorite Foods of the Hindus even in their Antiquity.
That the name of Cain was
regarded with great reverence and respect is
verified in the ancient Hebrew which
defines almost every Chan root word
positively, usually with a description
of being"favored of God." Cain's
name is derived from Chanan, or El
Chana, the deity of the earliest Jews
whom we now know is Krishna, for Kannan
is the Tamil Hindu name of
Krishna (See Michael Jordan's Encyclopedia
of Gods). Kana was also
worshipped in Ethiopia as Kanneh, and
Cainan. Cain's name is also related to
"kanna im" the Talmud's term for zealot
and avenging priest, which was
precisely Cain's function in the original
Jewish story of Cain and Abel. The
existence of Cain as an avatar who
has a shining birth, and who is associated
with vegetarianism, is seen in (so
called) apocryphal accounts of Adam and Eve
and their family, such as "Vita et
Adae" and "Apocalypsis Mosis," found in R. H.
Charles' Pseudepigraphia and Apocrypha
of the Old Testament.
A MYSTERY OF THE BIBLE SOLVED:
Why Abel's Name is Associated With Evil.
Scholars Have Pondered Why Abel's Name
Is Associated with what is Misty, Vain, Illusory,
With Leading Astray, with Beclouding or Making Dense.
The Ab in Abel Functions as Does the Ab in Abnormal.
It is a Prefix of Negation. El Means God.
Abel, the Killer of God's Creatures,
Is one who Negates or Beclouds God.
The Earliest Jews Perfectly Understood This,
And Ancient Hebrew has Numerous Words in which the Abel Root
Represents Evil, Suffering, or Being Off the Path.
While Cain's name is associated
with being "favored by God," Abel's name
even in conventional dictionaries is
defined as misty, which, in context of the
battle between the Light and Darkness,
is on the side of evil, not good.
Ab(-)Normal Means Not Normal
El Means God.
Ab(-)El Means Not of God in Ancient Hebrew.
Moreover in ancient Hebrew,
as in modern English, the prefix Ab was used as
a prefix of negation, as it is in the
English word Abnormal. In ancient Hebrew
the prefix of negation is defined as
"to becloud or obscure." El means God
Almighty. Therefore, Abel's name
meant one who obscures or beclouds, or
negates, God. And that is precisely
what Abel did by killing God's creatures and
promoting the disease producing diet
of carnivorism.
THE NOAH OF THE OLD TESTAMENT
COMPARED WITH THE PURE NOAH
OF THE ETHIOPIC BOOK OF ENOCH
The Old Testament Noah actually Gets Drunk
and Condemns his Grandson Canaan to be a Slave.
The Ethiopic Noah
Condemns all Interference with God's Creation.
The Ethiopians were Sabeans,
that is, Followers of Saba, Seba or Siva.
4. And we also rather easily see the
rewriting of the Vegetarian Bible in the
story of Noah and the Arc and the Deluge,
which was originally told more
from the point of view of the Ethiopic
Noah, who was adamantly
vegetarian, even more so than the Hindu
description of Manu, whose
name Ma-Nu, a contraction of Maha and
Nu, or Spirit (just as Vishnu
means the Pervasive (Vish) Spirit (Nu)
simply means The Great Nue or
Noah. The word Noah means comforter
and comes from the Hebrew niham, meaning to comfort. . And
as the chosen savior of the animals, he was therefore the comforter of
Creation, or of Shiva Pasupati's creatures. Noah remains the Comforter
in the Ethiopic descriptions of Noah. He condemns the killing of all creatures,
and the exploitation of creation that is sanctioned by Genesis 1: 26-28.
According to Enoch and Noah humans are not to mine, not to make weapons,
not to wear cosmetics, not even to write. All artifice is forbidden. We
are to accept creation as it is. Industry is the artifice of the Fallen
Angels. We are simply to live with creation, with other creatures peacefully.
Animal sacrifices were taught by the fallen angel (an angel practicing
evil) Azazel.
A Covenant of Carnivorism is a Moral,
Theological, Logical and Nutritional
Absurdity.
Slip-ups in the Rewriting
Two Versions of the Animals Who Go
in the Arc.
The Implications.
In the orthodox account
of Noah and the arc and the Deluge, which is a
badly rewritten account, we have a
number of contradictions. There are
two versions of the animals to go into
the arc. The first one says that a
pair of all the animals, male and female,
are to be taken into the arc. The
second versions spits the animals between
clean and unclean animals.
But, according to the scriptures, the
Covenant of Carnivorism is given by
God to Noah after the Flood.
Therefore, if Noah and his family had been
eating flesh on the Arc [which would
have turned the arc into a floating
slaughterhouses, rather than a vehicle
of salvation], they would have
done so without God's sanction, for
God had not yet expressly defined
what was clean and unclean. Interestingly
the folk interpretation, and the
story given to children of Noah and
the arc, that Noah saves the species of
animals and God saves Noah and his
family, is the true story, which is
quite contrary to the story given by
orthodox theologians.
The Specific Reasons for the Flood
Are not Enumerated in the Orthodox
Old
Testament,
Only the General Statement that Humans
and Other Creatures
Have Created Violence on Earth is Asserted.
In the Ethiopic Book of Enoch the forms
of Violence are Specified:
Animal Sacrifices and Bloodshed are
Condemned Several Times.
Human Sacrifices, Mining, Cosmetics,
Writing,
And the Accumulation of Wealth are
All Condemned.
In other words, All Forms of Artifice
That we Associate with Civilization
are Condemned.
In the Old Testament God Tells Noah
That Now Animals are to Live in Fear
and Terror of Man.
In the Ethiopic Book of Enoch
It is those who Cause Fear and Terror,
Those who Subdue the Earth and Have
Dominion over Other Creatures
Who are the Fallen Ones,
Who Have Broken the Original Harmony
That Existed in All Creation.
The (obviously rewritten)
Old Testament God then tells Noah after the
deluge that all animals are to live
in fear and dread of humans now. In
other words, terror, and not comfort,
are now the lot of other animals.
Only those who have something to gain
by the evil of this terror would
defend it: namely, those who eat the
corpses of murdered animals, those
who have the lust to hunt them, and
primarily, those who profit from the
brutality of killing other creatures
and selling their corpses to eat. The
latter group, the cattleman cult that
became orthodox Judaism, is the
group that revised the scriptures.
I advise all readers to copy
the Ethiopic Book of Enoch, which contains
the "Book of Noah" within it, from
the net. The R. H. Charles edition is now public domain. The purity
of this Book of Enoch, which teaches vegetarianism, and which is
anti-industrial, against trying to improve on nature, and against accumulating
wealth, is in stark contrast to the Old Testament, which was quite
obviously in great part fabricated in order to sanction what was previously
seen as ungodly, namely the subjugation, oppression, or killing of other
creatures.
Industry Constantly Pollutes the World.
Let me remind
the reader that the industrial revolution has not added
five good years to the longevity of
humanity. In fact, by polluting the
earth, air and waters of the earth,
industry has cursed humanity with a
variety of new diseases. The
purported cures for diseases that industry
has invented are diseases that would
have been prevented by
vegetarianism and by living in an unpolluted
nature.
The Data is In:
All Objective People Who Have Studied
the Effects of Eating Animal Flesh
Know that Animal Flesh is Detrimental
to our Health.
And the data
is in regarding the disease-promoting aspects of ingested
animal flesh. Medical researchers from
throughout the world confirm what
the Hindus and Buddhists and vegetarians
of every faith have known and
taught for millennia, that vegetarianism
is the proper and divinely
commanded diet of humanity.
ORTHODOX JEWISH RABBISIn fact many scholars of Rabbinical Judaism accept the fact that
ADMIT THAT VEGETARIANISM
WAS GOD'S ORIGINAL DIETARY COVENANT.
Sanskrit is the Mother of Hebrew.
The Vedic Sabean Tradition was the
Mother of Judaism.
The Hindu Culture Was the Original
Mother of the Jewish Culture.
The Hindu Religion Was the Origin of
Judaism.
As we shall
see, there is an abundance of evidence showing that, just
as Sanskrit is the mother of Hebrew
or Chaldee language, as well as of
Aramaic and Arabic, all of which are
languages of the Arabian Peninsula,
so too was the mother culture that
spoke the mother language the mother of the culture as well. The Vedic
culture then, like the Hindu culture today, has pluralism in religion,
its worshipers of Shiva, known as Shaivites or Sabeans, its worshipers
of Krishna or Vishnu, who was known as Kana or Cana in the earliest days
of Judaism, and its worship of Sakti, or the feminine aspect of deity.
Hinduism is a culture which allows every kind of worship within it, but
which focusses on vegetarianism and having compassion for all creatures.
Gene Matlock's India
Once Ruled the World and his other writings on
Abraham and the location of the tombs
of Jesus and Moses all attest to
the primacy of India in forming the
origins of Judaism.
Esdras Testifies to the Vegetarian Bible.
In "2 Esdras" Esdras says
the original patriarchs and late prophets, whom
the Old Testament, as we know it, describes
as having radically divergent
views, shared a vision that was commonly
agreed upon by all.
The Two Jehovahs:
One Commanding Vegetarianism, the Other
Carnivorism.
Unless One Accepts the Ridiculous Absurdity
That Jehovah Changed his Mind,
Obviously One of the Jehovahs was Made
Up.
Esdras, who covered Jewish History from
536-432 B.C.,
And Who Lived in the Latter Days of
this Period,
says the Late Prophets, Whom We Know
were Vegetarian,
Believed the Same Thing that the Patriarchs
Did.
Historically,
however, what has come down to us is plainly a split
tradition, that of the Jehovah, represented
most emphatically
the first words of Genesis, by well
over 90% of the Book of Job, some
psalmists, and by the later prophets;
and that of the carnivorous Jehovah,
ostensibly represented by Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob, and their patriarchal
line. As we see in Esdras below,
Esdras claims they all believed the same
thing.
"...to them I will give as leaders Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob and Hosea and
Amos and Micah and Joel and Obadiah
and Jonah and Nahum and
Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah,
and Malachi, who is also called
Malachi, who is also called messenger
of the Lord." 2 Esdras l: 38-40.
The astute, honest and objective reader
cannot help but conclude that the
original patriarchs were vegetarian
also, but were written over as
carnivorous. Esdras' scripture
is once again support for the contention
that there was an original vegetarian
covenant that started the excitement
and healing that we all associate with
the origin of religion.
We can easily
read between the lines and understand that not only the
late prophets, virtually all of whom
have scriptures denouncing sacrifice,
but the rest of the prophets and patriarchs
mentioned in Esdras 2, were
also totally vegetarian originally
before they were rewritten as carnivorous.
Thus, Esdras
like the Essenes was probably directly in touch with the
original and vegetarian Bible, an earlier
and more pure tradition of the
patriarchs and matriarchs both, before
the patriarchal cattleman cult overthrew
the vegetarians, and revised
the original teachings to make it appear that the
exploitation and killing of creatures
was permissible, as well as slavery and
elitist societies in which the rich
ruled the poor. Male chauvinism and bigotry
towards homosexuals were included in
the new teachings which became
orthodox Judaism.
Original
Judaism was vegetarian, and egalitarian, and honored matriarchs
such as Laksmi and Parvati as well
as patriarchs like Shiva and El Kana. The
moral absurdity of prophets teaching
that a Deity of infinite love desired the
slaughter of the very creatures it
loved infinitely, and the eating of their corpses.
Bel and the Dragon, and 2 Maccabees and especially the Ethiopic Book of
Enoch all affirm vegetarianism as the
purest form of diet which is no doubt one
of the main reasons why orthodox rabbis
relegated these scriptures to the
category of apocryphal.
Parallel Deceptions:
Rewriting the Original Old and
New Testament and Koran--
Vegetarianism, Not Carnivorism,
is Healing to the Body.
The Real Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad
All Knew This.
The fact that
the earlier pure vegetarian tradition Esdras refers to was
rewritten as a carnivorous tradition
may of course be paralleled with what
happened during the days of early Christianity,
when the vegetarian and
egalitarian traditions of Jesus, John
the Baptist, James, Peter, John
Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Tertullian,
and others were corrupted and
rewritten as carnivorous and elitist
by Pauline Christians. We may look
also to the Islamic tradition where
the powers of the world, in the tradition
now known as Sunni, likewise perverted
the original pure message of
Mohammed, preserved by his vegetarian
cousin Ali who was of a belief that later would be described as Shiite,
a word that is related both to Shaivite or Sauvite (both are versions of
Sabean), as well as the Hebrew Chivvite or Ivvite. Muhammad, remember,
praises the Sabeans at the same time as he praises the real Jews and Christians.
Now the fact that it is known that Muhammad actually lived with vegetarian
Sabean wilderness communities (See Robert Eisenman's
James the Brother of Jesus), should
make even Islamic fundamentalists
reflect.
