THE INESCAPABLE CONCLUSION CONCERNING THE NEW TESTAMENT

I have attempted to give you, the reader, a brief review of the subject at hand:

• We found without question that the greater number of books of the New Testament are anonymous.
• Of these books no one knows who wrote them, and no one knows when they were written. They are, in the case of the most important books, of those most relied on for doctrinal support, compilations from pre-existing records. But who wrote those records, and who made the compilations, are entirely unknown.
• We have seen repeatedly that when the books of the New Testament came into use they were not considered inspired or the word of God as we esteem them today.
• Many Gospels, Epistles, and Revelations, not now in use in Christianity, were read in the churches in the early centuries for edification.
• About the close of the second century or the beginning of the third century, when the Gentile Roman Catholic Church was forming, a source of authority for appeal in case of dispute over new doctrines was necessary, and the Fathers instituted the theory that certain books were "inspired" in hopes of bolstering their political, economic, and theological positions as one "sect" fought another "sect" for supremacy. But the books which they said were divine were not always the same books which we have now. They declared many books to be inspired which we do not think to be; and they ignored and rejected books which have since been invested with divine honors.
• The contentions of the sects made it impossible for the new church to unite on the Gospels, which had been first in use, and they were, therefore, discarded, and our present Four Gospels were substituted. To give them greater authority, the names of the Apostles who had been with Jesus were forged to them, literary forgery in those days not being considered a crime as today. The Fathers in asserting that the books were inspired, were guided not by critical ability nor by the Holy Spirit, but by ignorance and gross superstition. Instead of being great scholars, they were extremely superstitious, ignorant, and credulous, and in general very inferior intellectually.
• After much controversy, and even bloodshed, it became apparent that they could not agree as to what books should form the New Testament; and councils took the matter in hand, and for nearly twelve centuries they argued and discussed it. And finally, the Gentile Roman Catholic Church in the council of Trent, and the Greek Church in the council of Constantinople, decided once for all what the list should be for their adherents; and the Westminster Assembly gave the English-speaking Protestants their catalogue of current books as well.

There you have it. It is not pretty, but that is because the Holy Spirit was not behind it and had nothing to do with such confusion. The New Testament, as we have it today, is hardly more than three centuries old.

SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NOW KNOWING THIS?

Well you can choose to do nothing, or you can do what I did when I ran across such information years ago; I began a serious study of the New Testament and the origins of the religious doctrines within it. Since most of our readership looks to Jesus as the greatest example of Godliness, then why don't we let "this mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus." I recommend that, but sadly, that mind is not always accurately portrayed in the New Testament. Now only do we have a problem of what books, or who wrote them, but the doctrines contained within them are often diametrically opposed to what Jesus and the earliest Jerusalem church believed let alone expected non-Jews to believe as part of "believing Israel."

This paragraph as I write it is one of the most important statements I have ever made. On the surface it seems so simple but I assure you that the dynamics involved in its contemplation are explosive. I ask that you give serious attention and thought to what I will say and share with you in these articles that follow in this web-site as we look at the problems and contradictions of religious doctrines in the New Testament when compared with the Jewish Scriptures read and believed by Jesus. What you read in the next days and weeks as delineated on this web-site, as well as http://paganizingfaithofyeshua.netfirms.com has the ability to change your life and deliver you from the most darkest and vilest idolatry of which most of your are not yet aware. In these articles I will disclose the substantial identity of Gentile Christianity as known and practiced today with the most popular and widespread "Pagan" religion of all time, Sun worship. Such religious doctrines, of which now you are not aware, are scattered throughout the New Testament and put into the mouth of Jesus and the Apostles, even Paul. You may be more familiar with such Sun worship by the term of Mithraism, or the Persian Zoroastrian religion. You might not be aware, and I find that the vast majority of Christians are not, but Mithraism was the closest and all but successful rival of Christianity in the Roman world, and which might indeed have been successful, but that, soon after Constantine prostituted the Empire to the Church,—"with the triumph of Christianity Mithraism came to a sudden end. The laws of Theodosius signed its death warrant." (Catholic Encyclopedia. x, 402.) That there may be no suspicion that the recital of these remarkable identities of Christian "revelation" on the pages of the New Testament line up identically with Pagan religious doctrines in many ways. If you look to Jesus for "Divine Revelation" or even to Christianity as a "Divine Revelation" then once you see this information then it is beyond any question that God had anything to do with giving the Christian much of what he believed today; let alone believes about Jesus.

You should ask yourself, especially in light now after having seen how this document touted as the Word of God, the New Testament, was gathered and put together, one simple question: WHAT IS REVELATION…AND IS CHRISTIANITY BUILT UPON DIVINE, UNIQUE, AND G-DLY REVELATION? "

“When Pagan myths already current and long known to everyone for hundreds and thousands of years can be later found to be foundational to many dogmas and doctrines held sacred in Christianity because they are held and believed to be unique revelations from God and as found on page after page of the New Testament, then Divine revelation and inspiration cannot be appealed to for the origin of the Christian Faith and its teaching and such incriminating evidence must bring serious doubt to such doctrines and dogmas within Christianity as stemming from God… sadly these once held "sacred" doctrines must now understood as pagan copies.”

You have seen the history of the documents (New Testament) espousing such "Divine Revelation;" now it is time for you to begin such a study into these doctrines of the New Testament as compared with the beliefs of the Jewish Bible Jesus used.....to see the changes, the misquotations on purpose, the purposeful changing of the Jewish Scriptures in order to replace the religion of Jesus intended for all the world with one of Rome's making.

The Catholic Encyclopedia states: "The existence of revelation (as in the New Testament) is as reasonably established as any historical fact"! (C.E. xiii, 607.). I would think that the evidence I just submitted to you says otherwise without a doubt. It is time to wake up! These above statements are the most incredible lies ever uttered in the history of mankind. And I will quickly prove them so. Lets get back to truth, shall we. "Divine Revelation is thus of things not previously known and which the revelationless mind of man is incapable of acquiring or inventing by its own efforts." So exactly with "revelation": if some impostor or deluded person (e.g. Mohammed or Joseph Smith) claims that he has received a personal—and therefore necessarily private—"revelation" from some g-d, the only way whereby he can get a valid patent of authenticity and credibility for his "revelation," is to prove that its subject-matter has never before been known and in credulous circulation; the moment that from the search of the records—of other, or comparative religions,—it is shown that the same proposition has been previously known and current, in use and practice among some other priestcraft and its devotees—the thing is no revelation at all: the claim is a fraud!!!

PUTTING GENTILE CHRISTIANITY AND ITS DOCTRINES UNDER THE MICROSCOPE OF COMPARATIVE RELIGION

Let us see how this indisputable rule works when applied to Gentile Christianity. In doing so we will either prove beyond any doubt that the Christian Faith is Divine unique revelation to mankind and worthy of trust and faith for the world to come or else is but the reiteration of prior pagan beliefs and is not to be trusted for truth or preparation for the world to come. The answer to such inquiry will either prove Christianity uniquely Divine and God breathed as is attested for it; or expose it as anything but Divine but rather pagan whereby then you would be better served to return to the faith once given the Saints; Biblical Judaism where the Gentile believer, as a Godfearer, has a place both within Biblical Judaism and the Israel of God and not apart from it. Let us see what we can find, shall we?
