bennoah1@airmail.netIn order to come to an accurate understanding of the value and authority of the New Testament for the Christian believer today many things need to be understood; most of which few Christians have ever concerned themselves with. Your research must begin at the origin of the New Testament and that, believe it or not, begins long before it was written.
Within the New Testament are hundreds of quotes taken from the Old Testament. The problem is which Old Testament are we to believe because there is in reality are two every different translations of the Jewish Scriptures. The Jews today have one and the Christians have one. They are not the same! The Jewish Old Testament is called the Palestinian Jewish Scriptures or the Masoretic text. Christianity has their Old Testament as taken from the Greek translation, or should I say "a purposeful mistranslation" of the Hebrew Scriptures. The translators of the Jewish Scriptures altered them terribly and wrote their sect's beliefs within it in the form of prophecies giving authority to their sect's beliefs. That is right, there are two very different Old Testaments today and the vast majority of Christians have never heard about this. Most of you never knew that. There was a time I did not as well. What I will show you in the beginning of our study is the truth and facts concerning the translation of the Jewish Scriptures into Greek and how pagan concepts were purposefully mingled within in by the Alexandrian translators and later these concepts concerning pagan sun-g-dmen were applied to Jesus by the apocalyptic messianic believers of the first century following the crucifixion of Jesus. We ended up with the conservative Pharisees looking for a Davidic Messiah or the return of Jesus to fulfill that mode; opposite this we had the Pythagorean-Buddhist Essenes who believed in a cosmic g-dman as their "anointed redeemer." These concepts were later mixed together and applied to Jesus and today we read them again mingled together in the New Testament never knowing that they were originally two conflicting and contradicting concepts; one Biblical and one Extra-Biblical. Dear ones, there is a big difference between legend and fact. The selection of which Old Testament you read and believe is of monumental importance for the Christian faith. One leads the reader down the path of righteousness and the other the path of idolatry.
The vast majority of Christian believers never even considered that their Old Testaments in their Christian Bible could possibly contain falsifications and purposeful mistranslations of the Jewish Masoretic text made over 2200 years ago which were made to further the theological agenda of the Greek-Jews of Alexandria, Egypt. If you were like me once you took it for granted when you bought your first Bible that you had the "Word of God." Well, yes and no. It never entered your mind that you might be reading religious passages that were never read by Jesus when reading the Old Testament. You simply took it for granted that you were buying the same Bible that Jesus used. If you bought a Christian Bible instead of a Jewish Tanakh nothing could have been further from the truth for you. Jesus would not use the Old Testament that is used by Christians today because the quotes taken from there and used in the New Testament about the "messiah" are adulterated and corrupted in most places when compared to the Hebrew Masoretic text. So by default the New Testament, in quoting much of the Old Testament prophecies as taken from the Christian Old Testament are incorrect and misrepresent the historical Jesus.
What we will examine first is the corruption of the Jewish Hebrew Scriptures when they were translated by the Greek-Jews of Alexandria, Egypt, over 200 years before the birth of Jesus. The importance for you to understand in this study is that the New Testament contains hundreds of quotes from this Greek Old Testament, and if it can be proven that this Greek translation of the Jewish Scriptures contain purposeful mistranslations, misquotations, and scriptures continually taken out of context from the original documents used in the translation in order to promote the religious beliefs of the translators in Alexandria, Egypt, then that means that "these quotes" as as taken from this forged Old Testament translation as found in the New Testament distorts the truth about Jesus and recasts him in the image of pagan g-dmen. This is a very serious charge and one not made lightly. The reason I and others can bring such a charge against the New Testament is that we have done the research over years that proved beyond any shadow of doubt these tragic facts. That is why I had to leave the pastorate after several years of such study; I was wrong and preaching lies. The Jews were right; their Jewish Scriptures are the ONLY Holy Word of God we have! The time to learn and repent is now in hope before we die we can return to the faith once given to the saints; the true faith of Jesus (Yeshua). Such would be a honor to both Jesus and the God you love. Let us begin by letting us prove this to yourself beyond any doubt. It will require some reading but the trip is worth the price.
The Jewish Scriptures were translated from the Hebrew into the Greek language in Alexandria, Egypt. We must begin our study here as we attempt to familiarize ourselves with the religious climate of the day and the influences at work which played a huge part on the translations and corruption of the Jewish Scriptures. It will be this fraudulent Greek translation of the Old Testament which will sever as the Bible for the Western World let alone the substrate for the quotations in the New Testament. If it can be shown, and it can, that this was a faulty translation to say the least, then the impact upon the New Testament is devastating.
