INTRODUCTIONWhat is the Bible? Bib le is the name g iven to several collec tions of w ritings

held sacred by the Jewish and Christian religions. It is also known as the

Holy Sc riptures. Both religions regard the Bible as insp ired by God. They

base m any of their beliefs and custom s on the tea chings found in the

Bible - The World Book Enc yc lop ed ia 2000

The purpose of this workTHUS SPEAKS THE BIBLE is an educ a tiona l work about the most widely

pub lished book in the wo rld . In add ition to focusing on som e c ruc ial verses

of the Bible, I respec tfully present before the reader more than twenty

sma ll cha pters on som e interesting and thoug ht p rovo king information.

This work ma y elic it all kind s of responses: agreement, d isbelief,

astonishment, shoc k, thrill, and resentm ent. The author assures the

respected reader of his sincerity of intentions and intellectual honesty

while free ly ad mitting his ow n fa llibility.

A vast ma jority of pe op le o f any faith do not read the Bib le from c over to

cove r. This is one rea son w hy the b ook be fore the rea der has been keptbrief a nd rea der friendly.

Litera ture on argum ents and c ounte r-argume nts for and aga inst the

Sc riptures abounds in all languages. The autho r has tried to keep it simple:

THUS SPEAKS THE BIBLE, in other words - Let the Bib le Speak for Itself.

This work ma y he lp the Jew s, Christians and Muslims to see wha t they have

in com mo n, and w here they d iffer. "Ma nkind is One C om munity", dec lares

the Qur'an. Therefore, many of the b rief notes g iven w ithin b rackets and in

bold sc ript a re mea nt to highlight the Qur'anic standpoint on the Biblica l

verses and theme s under stud y.

Ma ny Muslims might d iscover as to how muc h of the Biblica l doc trines

they unintentionally follow in the na me of Islam through fab rica ted

traditions of Prophet Muhammad.

Hop efully, the vehem ent c ritics of Islam wo uld reflec t on the ir own

Sc ripture, and then, op en-minded ly exam ine the Fina l Word o f God , the

Qur'an. They will see tha t the Qur'an d oes not a tta ck the Bible. Rather, it

hea ls and correc ts the huma n touch in it. Let not our Christian a nd Jew ish

friend s feel a liena ted by this sta tem ent until they ha ve exam ined the first

few and the last few chap ters. Mutual understanding c an bring all of us

menta lly and em otiona lly c lose togethe r and help us address the vic ious

prob lem s ma rring the entire hum an c iviliza tion tod ay.

The autho r has quoted from the Judeo-Christian sc hola rs exc lusively. Asma ll percenta ge of these q uotes have been translate d from other

langua ge s into English, and som e q uote s have b een paraphrased for

easier understanding.

'BC' and 'CE' used in this boo k ind ica te 'Befo re the Common Era ' and 'The

Common Era ', respec tively. OT will ind ica te the Old Testa me nt a nd NT the

New Testa ment .

Muslims must respec t and revere God and a ll the p rop hets me ntioned in

the Bible. Therefore, as a rule, any c ritic ism in this wo rk is d irec ted only

aga inst the hum an touc h in the Bib le.

Spec ial c are has been taken not to a lter the meanings when selec ting

verses or using d ashes for the sake o f b revity. How ever, nothing can

substitute for the ca refu l stud y o f a sc ripture in its ent irety.

Finally, desp ite a ll caution and vigilanc e, som e errors might ha verem ained in this work. Co mments and c ritic ism from any qua rters will be

who le-hea rted ly welcom e, and any errors will be c orrec ted in the sec ond

ed ition with de ep gratitude .

Why use the King Jam es Version?

Online King Jam es Version http://endprod.com/bible/ has been used for

this work.

St. Jerom e ha d translated the then ava ilab le versions of the Bible, from

Greek to La tin in 394 CE. Tha t is the famous Vulgate which w as ac c epted

as the standard Rom an Ca tho lic transla tion in 1546 at the Counc il of Trent .

Vulgate bec ame the foundation for the pop ular English transla tion, the

King Jam es Version, d one in 1611 CE.

With the d iscovery of o ther anc ient m anusc ripts in 1881 CE, as ment ioned

in 'New Testa ment - Sta tus', the KJV needed revision for:

The prefa c e of the 1971 Revised Sta ndard Version (RSV) sta tes: "The 1611

King James Version Bible ha d grave defec ts. These d efec ts were

d iscove red when ea rlier versions of the New Testame nt were found than

those which the King Jame s Version was based on. These defec ts are so

many and so serious as to c a ll for revision o f the Eng lish translat ion."

How eve r, even the RSV of 1971 has not b een universa lly ac c ep ted , and

there a re numerous versions of the Bible ava ilab le tod ay, for exam ple, the

New Revised Sta nd ard Version (NRSV ), and the New American Stand ardBible. In this milieu, KJV still rem ains one o f the m ost pop ular and relied

upon ve rsions and its langua ge is considered to be m ost magnificent.

*****************************************************************************

An Un-ed ited Note from the Frenc h Ep iscop a l Church:"They c la im tha t the Bible be ing the Word of Go d has not c hange d. They

should answe r which Bible has not changed . Heb rew Bible, Greek Bible,

Latin Bible, English Bible, Jewish Bible, Catholics’ Bible, Protestants’ Bible,

Mo rmon Bible, Watchtower Bible, Eastern Orthodox Church's Bible - which

Bible a re they ta lking about? All these Bibles individua lly and collec tively

have b een c hang ed and a re still be ing c hang ed . Jews ca ll the OldTestament , the Heb rew Bible o r TANAK . But the ir Bible has 24 books and

som e b ooks have be en d ivided into two pa rts to m ake up for a tota l of 39

boo ks. Protestants a lso have 39 boo ks but in a d ifferent o rder. The same

Old Testa ment of Ca tho lics has 46 boo ks, while Eastern Orthodox

Christians have 51 books in the ir Old Testa ment. Jewish ve rsion o f the Bible

is based on the Heb rew Ma soretic text w hile C hristians generally use the

Greek (Sep tuag int) and Latin (Vulgate) versions as the basis of their Old

Testaments. Eac h g roup a lso has va riations in the texts of the ir boo ks as

we ll as in the number of ve rses.

The New Testa ment is accepted by Christians only. It ha s 27 books: Four

Gospels and then othe r boo ks and lette rs named a fter various apostles.

But Ca tholic s add som e ve rses in the Gospels tha t a re not acc ep ted by

the Protesta nts. The Ca tho lic s as well as the Eastern Orthodox Christians

ac know led ge som e books that a re not a ccep ted by the Protestants.As far as the anc ient manusc ripts of the Bible a re c onc erned , it is known

to the Biblica l scholars tha t most o f the ma nusc rip ts c ame from the fourth

century CE dow n. These a nc ient m anusc ripts a re essent ially partial and

the ir texts d iffer from one a nother very significantly.

M. M. Parvis in the Interpreter's Dic tiona ry o f the Bible (vol. 4, pp. 594-595)

says, 'The New Testa ment is now known to exist, in whole or in pa rt, in

nea rly five thousand Greek manusc ripts a lone. Every one of these

handwritten c op ies d iffers from the o ther one. It has been estima ted tha t

these manusc ripts and quota tions d iffer among them selves betw een

150,000 and 250,000 times. The ac tua l figure is, pe rha ps, muc h higher. A

stud y of 150 Greek manusc ripts of the G ospel of Luke has revea led more

tha n 30,000 different rea d ings. It is sa fe to say tha t there is not one

sentenc e in the New Testament in which the m anusc ripts' trad ition is

wholly uniform.'

Anyone c an get hold o f the Go od New s Bible and can see for oneself

tha t in the 1300 pages of this mod ern Eng lish ve rsion, there a re a lmost a s

ma ny footnotes pointing to phrases, sentences and passages tha t a re

om itted from or ad ded to va rious anc ient ma nusc rip ts or versions. Many

of these a lte ra tions are not unintentiona l sc riba l errors suc h a s a re

expec ted in hand written c op ies of a bo ok. A c a reful study of a ncient

texts has convinced scholars tha t the va ria tions found in them we re veryoften intent iona l tam pering with the texts. This tampering is still going on

for va rious politica l, theolog ica l or ideolog ica l rea sons. Under pressure o f

the Jew ish orga niza tions, many c hurches in Am erica and Europ e have

beg un rep hrasing Jesus' c ritic ism of the Jews in the Gospels. Fem inists

groups are urging the use o f unisex language in the new versions.

Hom osexua l groups have the ir ow n ve rsions. All these c hanges are taking

plac e b efore our ow n eyes. Of course, peo ple c an b elieve w hatever they

may w ish."

************************************************************************************

The Modern DiscoveriesThe mo st recent exam ple o f the insec urity o f the Church is their continued

custod y and sec retive hand ling o f the most anc ient ma nusc rip ts:

- Naga Hamma di Texts d isc overed in Egypt in 1945.

- The Dea d Sea Sc rolls d iscovered in Qumran c aves by the Dea d Sea in

1947.

- The incred ibly important la rge rep ository of Sc riptures found in the

Mo nastery of St. Ca the rine on Mount Sinai in 1976.

The first two o f these too k forty yea rs to get p artially pub lished , an obvious

ind ica tion of tampering . Yet , like the Gnostic g ospels suc h as the

Apocalypse of Peter, many of these texts c la im tha t Jesus was never

c ruc ified . In fac t, he wa s am ong the onlookers a t the time of the

c ruc ifixion o f the m a lefac tors, and then q uietly moved aw ay to safe ty.

The third one is still being "protec ted". The monks who hold the m aterial

have a llow ed only one Greek scholar to have a look with expresspermission from Vatican. (Dr. James Bentley - The Sec rets of Mount Sinai)

"The Pontifica l Biblica l Commission o f Va tican tightly controls which

scholars a re a llow ed to have a look a t those finds. The Commission issued

a dec ree on the 21st o f Ap ril / 1964: "At a ll times the interprete r must

cherish a sp irit of read y obed ienc e to the Church's tea ching authority."

OT 18 THE BOOK OF JOB

[This is considered to be the m ost e loquent book of the Bible. Prop het Job

1:1 There wa s a ma n in the land of Uz, whose na me wa s Job ; and tha t

1:2 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.

1:3 His substa nc e a lso wa s seven thousand sheep , and three thousand

Father ato nes for sons, da ughters left out.

1:5 ---- Job sent and sanc tified them , ----, and offered burnt o fferingsac c ord ing to the numb er of them a ll: for Job sa id , It ma y be that m y sons

2:1 Again there w as a da y when the sons of Go d c am e to p resent

them selves before the LORD, and Sa tan came a lso a mo ng the m to

42:12 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beg inning :

42:13 He ha d a lso seven sons and three d aughte rs. [Would that

The Qur'an is acknow led ged to b e the most eloquent bo ok ever by

their sins.1:9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of

Ga lilee , and w as baptized of John in Jorda n.

5:9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he a nswe red , saying , Myname is Leg ion: for we a re m any.

5:12 And a ll the devils besoug ht him, saying , Send us into the swine, tha t

we ma y enter into them.

5:13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unc lean spirits went

out, and ente red into the swine: and the herd ran violently dow n a steep

plac e into the sea , (they were abo ut two thousand;) and w ere c hoked in

the sea .

The sc ribes a re o bsessed with mirac les

6:41 And when he ha d taken the five loa ves and the two fishes, he loo kedup to heaven, and b lessed , ----; and the tw o fishes d ivided he a mo ng

6:43 And they took up tw elve b askets full of the fragme nts, and of the

6:44 And they that did ea t of the loa ves were a bo ut five thousand m en.

8:32 ---- Peter too k him [Jesus], and beg an to reb uke him.

Pete r, the p atria rc h of the C hurch

men.The d isc iples we re non-be lievers. They fa il to do things and flee

9:18 ---- thy d isc iples tha t the y should cast him out; and they c ould not.

9:23 Jesus sa id unto him, If tho u c anst believe, a ll things are possible to h im

9:28 And when he w as com e into the house, his d isc iples asked him

priva tely, Why could no t we cast him out?

Let the p riests trea t ep ilep sy, stroke, lep rosy, polio, fevers, schizophrenia

9:29 And he sa id unto them , This kind can c om e forth by nothing, but by

prayer and fa sting .

Take up your own c ross and dep end not on a 'Savior'

10:21 ---- One thing thou lac kest: go thy way, sell wha tsoever thou ha st,

and give to the p oor, and thou shalt have treasure in hea ven: and c om e,

take up the c ross, and follow me .

10:25 It is ea sier for a c ame l to go throug h the eye o f a need le, than for a

ric h man to enter into the kingd om of God .

Can a rich ma n, then, enter into the kingd om of God or not!

10:26 And they w ere astonished out of m ea sure, saying amo ng

them selves, Who then c an be saved ?

10:27 And Jesus looking upon them sa ith, With m en it is imp ossible, but not

with God : for with God a ll things are p ossible.

Could Jesus be violent?11:15 And they com e to Jerusa lem : and Jesus went into the tem p le, and

overthrew the ta b les of the moneychang ers, and the sea ts of them that

Would Jesus try to evade if his mission was a tonem ent?

14:34 And sa ith unto them, My soul is exceed ing sorrow ful unto d ea th:

tarry ye here, and wa tch.

14:35 And he went fo rwa rd a little, and fe ll on the g round , and p rayed

tha t, if it were p ossible, the hour might p ass from him.

[Two sep ara te wills]

14:37 And he c om eth, and finde th them sleep ing, and sa ith unto Pete r,

14:63 Then the high p riest rent his c lothes, and sa ith, What need we a ny

15:25 And it w as the third hour, and they c ruc ified him.

15:26 And the sup ersc rip tion of his accusation was written over, THE KING

3:23 And Jesus himself began to be a bout thirty yea rs of a ge, be ing (as

Biblica l scholars conside r 'as wa s supposed ' in pa rentheses a late

3:38 ----, which w as the son o f Adam, which was the son of God .

4:22 ---- And they sa id, Is not this Joseph's son?

5:18 And , be hold, men brought in a bed a m an whic h wa s taken with apa lsy: ----.

5:20 And when he saw the ir fa ith, he sa id unto him, Ma n, thy sins are

forgiven thee. [The man arose a nd w alked]

7:16 ----, Tha t a grea t p rop het is risen up among us; and , Tha t God ha th

7:38 And [the sinner wo ma n, Martha ] stood a t his fee t behind him

weep ing, and be ga n to wash his feet w ith tea rs, and did w ipe them with

the ha ir of her head , and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the

ointment.

7:45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in ha th

not cea sed to kiss my feet .

The Church might ha ve to delete this one too

9:27 But I tell you of a truth, there b e som e sta nd ing here, which sha ll not

10:19 Beho ld, I g ive unto you p ow er to trea d on serpe nts and sc orpions,

11:2 And he sa id unto them, When ye p ray, say, Our Father which a rt in

hea ven, Ha llow ed be thy nam e. Thy kingdom com e. Thy will be d one , as

in hea ven, so in ea rth.

This is no t Divine justic e. See Ezekiel 18:20

11:50 Tha t the b lood of a ll the p rop hets, which wa s shed from the

Swo rd , then fire, d ivision, and ha te

12:49 I am c om e to send fire on ea rth; ----?

12:51 Suppose ye tha t I am c om e to give p ea c e on ea rth? I tell you, Nay;but rather division:

14:26 If any man com e to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and

Kill my enem ies

19:27 But tho se m ine ene mies, which would not tha t I should reign over

Al this never happened

21:27 And then sha ll they see the Son o f ma n c om ing in a c loud with

22:70 Then sa id they a ll, Art thou then the Son of God? And he sa id unto

them , Ye say tha t I am.

23:1 And the w hole multitude o f them a rose, and led him unto Pila te.

23:3 And Pila te asked him, saying, Art thou the King o f the Jew s? And he

Who bea rs the c ross? The Go spels d iffer

23:26 And as they led him awa y, they la id hold upon o ne Simo n, a

Cyrenian, co ming out of the c ountry, and on him they la id the c ross, tha the m ight b ea r it after Jesus.

23:38 And a supersc ription a lso wa s written over him in let ters of Greek,

and La tin, a nd Heb rew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. [See Mathew 27:37]

Did Ascension ta ke plac e the sam e d ay?

23:43 And Jesus sa id unto him [ the supportive ma lefa c tor], Verily I say unto

thee, tod ay shalt thou b e w ith me in parad ise.

23:45 And the sun was darkened , and the veil of the tem ple w as rent in

23:46 And when Jesus had c ried with a loud vo ic e, he sa id, Fa ther, into

thy hand s I c om mend my sp irit: and having sa id thus, he gave up theghost.

24:10 It wa s Ma ry Magd alene a nd Joa nna, and Ma ry the mother of

24:37 But they were te rrified and a ffrighted , and supposed tha t they had

The d isc iples remain skep tica l

transient insc riptions on c olored wax used for the roya l dec rees of

Pharaohs, or the limited eng ravings on stone - Rev. H. Barnet t.

Nea rly five c enturies we nt by. The House o f Israel had d ivided into tw o

c lashing fac tions a fter Prop het Solom on's dea th in 928 BC. His mighty

kingdom got sp lit into a northern kingdom ca lled Israel with its cap ita l

Sama ria , and a southe rn kingdom ca lled Judah with its c ap ita l Jerusa lem .

The two tribes of Benjam in and Judah inhab ited the southe rn kingd om

wherea s the rem aining ten tribes lived in the northern kingdom .Assyrians (the anc ient West Asian Empire) inva ded the Samarians and

too k them captive to their c ap ita l Nineveh in 721 BC. Sinc e then, they

have been so m ysteriously scatte red through history tha t they a re still

referred to as the lost tribes of Israe l! Some surviving Samarians

inte rmarried w ith the Assyrians, and the ir p rog eny has been ca lled

Samaritans. Only about 500 of the Samaritans a re surviving in the p resent

day Israel.

The o ther kingdom , Judah, ba sed in Jerusa lem wa s invaded and

com plete ly devasta ted by the king o f Babylon, Neb uchadnezzar, in 586

BC. He destroyed Solomon's Tem p le and too k the two tribes cap tive to

Babylon.

King C yrus the Grea t o f Persia , after defea ting Babylon in 538 BC, a llow ed

the surviving 5% (about 50,000 out o f a to ta l of one m illion) Jew s to

gradua lly return to Jerusa lem. This reverse e xod us took p lace over aperiod of 140 yea rs.

Sadduc ees and Pha risees were the two m a jor Jewish sec ts during the

time s of Jesus Christ. The lat te r are the only surviving sec t o f Juda ism

tod ay, a lthoug h there has been further schism a mo ng them.

Priest Ezra w rote 204 books on returning from Babylon to Jerusa lem in 457

BC. No one knows the wherea bouts of those 204 books. Ezra and his

com panions a lso rebuilt the Tem ple of Solom on to a m uc h lesser

grandeur.

The Greek Emperor Ant ioc hus IV invaded Jerusa lem in 168 BC, and

destroyed the existing sc riptures. He b anished the prac tice o f Juda ism

and d ed ic ated the rebuilt Tem ple of Solomon to the Greek go d Zeus.

Now, the Rom an General Titus invaded and com p lete ly destroyed

Jerusa lem in 70 CE and took a wa y a ll rewritten o r surviving sc riptures with

him. Josep hus b in Matthias the Heb rew , was ab le to rec over 22 books of

the Old Testament from Titus, but to day we see 39 boo ks in it.

History records 313 years of the 'Age of Persecution' during which ruthless

tyrants rep ea ted ly destroyed the Old a nd New Testame nt sc riptures and

even killed Peter, his wife and som e Popes. (Com mentary of Lardner

inc luding referenc es to Bishop Euseb ius)

The first ever version of the Old Testament a ppea red before the wo rld as

la te a s 285 BC, (one thousand yea rs a fter Moses) and tha t too in Greek,a lthoug h Ezra 's tongue w as Heb rew , and possibly Aramaic. The orig inal

books of Ezra have b een extinc t, as a lrea dy mentioned .

Jew ish schola rs tampered with the Heb rew Old Testament mostly in 130

CE. Their goa l wa s to drop any hint to the com ing o f Jesus Christ. (Sa int

Aug ustine - as quoted in many com menta ries of the Bible, suc h as Henry

Westcott and Ad am Cla rke)

St. Jerome prod uced his fam ous Vulgate by transla ting the ava ilab le

Greek Bible into Latin - 394 CE.

The first 'canonized ' Heb rew version of the O ld Testament wa s prod uc ed in

the 11th c entury CE! That is now considered defec tive and the sec ondedition of 1705 CE is used instead. No Hebrew version of the Old

Testament is ava ilab le today that w ould b elong to the 8th or the 9th

century CE.

New Testa ment: Sta tusWith Some Histo ry

- The Go lden Rule was p lagiarized from The Trea tise on Morality by

Confuc ius of the 6th c entury BC. (Bishop Thomas Ward - The Bib le: Its

- In 303 CE, the pagan Emperor Dioc letian destroyed a ll Christian writings

tha t c ould b e found. This p rovide d the o rthod oxy, during Emp eror

Constantine's reign, to go ahea d with the mo st c ruc ial revision, ed iting ,

and rew riting as they saw fit. Consta ntine sanc tioned the c onfiscation and

destruc tion of a ll works tha t c ha lleng ed the o rthod ox tea chings. In 331,

- We a re g ene ra lly fam iliar only with the four 'Canonized ' Gospels:

Ma thew , Mark, Luke, and John. Encyc lop ed ia Britannica points to the

existenc e o f 34 Go spels in the sec ond century. It is astonishing to note tha t

only one of these 34 was in Aramaic, the lang uage o f Jesus and his

d isc iples, and the rest were in Greek! The only Aram a ic G ospel ever is non-

existent!

109



- The Gospels we re ed ited and a ltered ove r a period of four c enturies,

and the canonization was a most insidious, secretive and mysterious

proc ess. It is impossible to sta te with the slightest deg ree of c onfidenc e a s

to who ac tua lly wrote them. (J. B. Lightfoot , Bishop of Eng land , 1880)

How anc ient a re the oldest m anusc ripts of the Bible?

Codex Vaticanus, an incom plete version of the Bib le in Greek o riginating

from the 5th or 6th ce ntury, made inac cessib le a nd resting in Vat ican.Codex Alexand ria o f the 5th century, a lso inco mp lete and in Greek,

***************************************************************************

The Gospel of Barnabas

Pop e Da ma sus 1 had a c op y of the Gospel of Barnabas in his priva te

lib rary in 383 CE. In 493, Pope G elasius 1 ba nished the read ing o r

possession o f the Go spel of Barnab as. This is suffic ient proof tha t theGospel wa s very much in existenc e in the ea rly Christian h istory and only

red iscovered a t Am sterdam in 1709 CE, and a t Vienna in 1738 CE. Both of

these ed itions we re in Latin. George Sa le, the renowned translato r of the

Qur'an, had a Spanish ve rsion o f the Go spel in 1784. Dr Hillma n d iscovered

another Spanish ed ition a t Hudley in 1810. Also, in the ea rly 18th century, J.

E. Cramer, a counselor to the King of Prussia p ossessed the Go spel. In 1713

CE, Cram er gave it to Prince Eugene o f Savoy. In 1738 this La tin

ma nusc ript p assed from the prince to the roya l lib ra ry of Hofb ib liothe k in

Vienna whe re it rem a ins to da te. Prior to tha t, Father Ma rino had stolen

the ma nusc rip t o f the Gospel of Barnabas from the priva te lib rary of Pop eSixtus V in 1590.

Even more revea ling is the fac t tha t the Go spel was c onsidered c anonica l

by the Alexand rian Church until 325 CE. This information should be

sufficient to d ispel the possibility of a ny Muslim a uthorship o f the Gospel of

Barnabas.

This Gospel, now ava ilab le in many languages, frankly d enies Trinity, the

d ivinity and Son-ship o f Jesus, and b loo d Ato nem ent. Though only as

dep end ab le a s any othe r gospels, it c om plete ly dem olishes the Pauline

doc trine. Interestingly, it c laims tha t it was Juda s Isc ariot, the betraying

d isc iple, who was c ruc ified instead of Jesus.

The Insec urity of the ChurchThe Pontifica l grip on the Christian masses was so ste rn for centuries tha t

anyone found in possession o f the "non-ca nonica l" litera ture c ould fac e

c ruc ifixion or being burnt a live! The Ca tho lic C hurch has felt so insec ure

with the Holy Sc riptures tha t it took them nearly two thousand yea rs to

allow the m ass to b e p erformed in a ny lang uag e o ther than La tin which

Virg in Births And The Cruc ified Saviors

On c lose examination o f history, we find Jesus Christ in good com pany.

Contrary to popular belief, Jesus shares some astounding similarities with

ma ny figures tha t were worshiped c enturies before he a ppea red . Most

definitely, the New Testame nt writers we re influenc ed by the then

c irculating myths of the dying a nd reviving Sun-go ds. Does Jesus rep resent

the Sun-go d? (Christianity b efore Christ - Kersey Graves)

Here is a brief resume of these Saviors:Ad onis - Syria

Apollo - Rom e

Asta rte - Ca rthage

At tis - Phryg ia

Baal - Babylon

Bacchus - Greece

Ba lder - Scand inavia

Buddha - Ind ia

113



Hercules - Rome

Horus - Egyp t

Jesus - Israel

Krishna - Ind ia

Mithra - Persia

Osiris - Egyp t

Serap is - Alexand riaYu - China

Osiris was the Sun-god born to Virg in Ce res.

Krishna - Lord Krishna (Chrish-na ) of India was the 8th Avta r of Ind ia (1200

BC). His Virg in Mother had been overshadow ed by the Holy Gho st

(Naraan) of the Suprem e Go d , Brahma .

Serap is of Alexandria was born to Virg in Isis.

Buddah wa s supposed ly bo rn to the ma rried b ut Virg in Ma ya.

Mithra the Sun-god of Persia b elonged to the C hurch of Na tivity (He to o

wa s supp osed ly born through 'Imm aculate Conc ep tion').

Att is of Phrygia w as born to Virg in Nana .

Jesus wa s supposed ly bo rn to Virg in Ma ry through Immaculate

Conception.

Hercules, a p rom inent m ythica l figure of the Sun-wo rship c ult, wa s born to

Virgin Prudence through Imm acula te Conc ep tion.

Bacchus wa s the Only Beg ot ten Son of Jup iter through Virg in Sem ele. We

also find h istorica l refe rences to the Grec ian Cruc ified Savior, Bac chus Son

of Virg in Minerva .

The Sun-go d Ba lder was c a lled the Hea ler the Savior of m ankind . Virg in

Frigga conc eived him of the All Father, Od in.

In China , the Sun-god Yu was born to Virg in Shing-Mon, like a ll othe rs,

through Imm ac ulate Conc ep tion.Born in Sta b les or Caves

The m ake-be lieve b irth o f Jesus in a stab le is no c o-inc idenc e.

Stab le o f Augeus, the famous Aug ea n Sta b le in rela tion to Hercules.

(Burrit's Geography of the Heavens )

Now, with extrem ely slight va riations, here a re the astound ing simila rities:

All of them were supposed ly born to Virg ins.

Their da te o f b irth has been c la imed to be ab out the sam e i.e. Dec 25which is related to the b irth o f the sun in Astrology. So is the b irth o f the

Sun-god according to the Sun-worship c ults, around Dec 25.

All of them were born in the isola tion o f caves, sta b les or ba rns.

They to iled in sweat and b lood for humanity.

They we re the "Alpha and Omega".

All of them we re God-inca rnates.

Most of the m ha d twelve d isc ip les.

Most o f these figures were betrayed by one of their ow n d isc ip les.

114



They were c a lled Hea ler, Mediator, Light -bringer, Sin-Bearer, Savior,

Deliverer, Ano inted , and Messiah.

All of them w ere ca lled "the Lamb of God " tha t wo uld carry the sins of

mankind.

They w ere va nquished by the "pow ers of evil and darkness".

They washed the sins of hum anity with their ow n b loo d .

A "Passion" sto ry is common to them.All of them rose a ga in from the dea d.

They died on Frida y before Easte r Sund ay.

They rose from the dea d on Easter Sunday.

They ha d weep ing virgins com ing to their g raves.

Their g raves we re found em pty.

They mysteriously vanished from the ea rth going to the underwo rld or hell.

Then they ascended to hea ven.

Churches and tem ples we re b uilt in their name .

People were rec eived into the ir religion by Baptism.

All of them w ere c omm emorated by ea ting the G od (Holy Comm union,

Euc ha ristic meals or Lord's Sup per: "This b rea d is my flesh; eat it - This wine is

my b loo d ; drink it.")

They were supp osed to c om e b ac k on earth onc e a ga in. (None ha s)

- Jesus was a b lac k ma n. It is the Western White Sup remac ists who show

Ab out the Mythica l Jesus- Jesus was a prophet to the Israelites a lone . Throug hout his life , the

Gentiles d id not c onc ern him: they were the d og s and swine. Then c ame

the ma ke-believe resurrec tion and the ma ster changes his mind! Yet,

carrying his mission "to a ll na tions" is a mistranslation from "to the t ribes". It

wa s Paul who, in his hopeless mom ents, afte r being reb uffed by Peter,

- No honest Christian scholar can d eny that Sa int Paul forged the belief

system of C hristianity from the four thousand yea r old Persian legend of

- St. Paul frankly admits tha t he bec ame 'out o f law' for those w ho w ere

'out of law '. He w as a renega de Jew who did no t believe in any

to think of Christianity as a Mo nothe istic relig ion. (Leo N. Tolstoy - The Kingd om of Go d Is Within You)

- Pauline Doc trine is nothing b ut propagation of a d og ma . It does not

concern itself with accountability through building moral character. Mere

proc lama tion tha t Jesus wa s accursed and c ruc ified for the sins of

ma nkind, takes one on the Mount Utop ia of e ternal life! If ma nkind we re

relieved of their higher ob liga tions with such impunity, the p lanet would

Founder of Christianity )

- Paul was the true founder of Christianity. He entirely changed the simp le

message o f Jesus as bec om es ob vious in the Boo k of Ac ts and in his

let ters, espec ially to Ga la tians. He c a lls the law a 'curse', and introd uces

such d oc trines as Trinity, God -inca rnate, the Lamb , and Atonem ent.

Influenc ed hea vily by Pla to and Philo, and borrow ing free ly from the

preva lent Sun-god cults of Mithra a nd Apollo, Paul confo rme d to the irbelief system in order to g a in co nverts. He g oe s 'out o f law' for those 'who

c laim a ll of them to be the 'beg otten' child ren of God , or ad mit that Ma ry,

- It is frank d ec ep tion to ca ll Jesus' siblings his stepbrothe rs and stepsisters.

Such is c la ime d to save the Mother of God from sexual relations.

121



Undoubted ly, Jesus and his siblings were c hild ren of M ary and Josep h, the

carpenter. There is no ridd le here. Since Mary had been sent to the

born acc ording to the laws of nature. The Boo k of Islam is more rea listic in

this sense w here it sta tes tha t even G od would not have a son w ithout a

consort. So, how could Ma ry have a son w ithout a ma te! (The Unita rian

Truth - John Servatus)- Futile a ttempts are usua lly made to p rove Jesus' brothers as having,

instead of M ary, som e unknown mother. This is done to portray Mary as a

virg in a ll her life to save the "Mothe r of God " aga inst the indigna tion of

sexua l invo lvement . It is wo rth no ting tha t she spent a ll her life with he r

MARK 1:4 John d id b aptize in the wilderness, and p rea c h the baptism of

The Messiahs and Sons of GodWe ha ve explored the Ano inted ones, Sons of G od and Saviors in 'The

Virgin Births'. But the Bible has its own list of Messiahs and Sons of God.

Using a cap ital S or a sma ll s for 'sons' has been a matte r of whim fo r the

translato rs. (Bishop J. B. Lightfoot)Adam - Jac ob - Ephra im - David - Solomon - Cyrus - Melchisedec

Genesis 6:2 Tha t the sons of G od saw the d aughters of m en tha t they

were fa ir; and they took them wives of a ll which they c hose. [Ada m a nd

a ll men a re sons of God ]

Exod us 4:22 And thou sha lt say unto Pha rao h, Thus sa ith the LORD, Israel

[Jac ob ] is my son, even my firstborn:

Jerem iah 31:9 ----: for I am a fa the r to Israel, and Ephraim [son of Josep h

son of Jac ob ] is my firstborn.

126



Psa lms 89:27 Also I will make him [Da vid] m y firstb orn, highe r tha n the kings

of the ea rth.

Isa iah 45:1 Thus sa ith the LORD to his ano inted , to Cyrus, whose right hand

I have holden, ---- [Lord 's anointed = Me ssiah]

1 Samuel 24:10 ---- I will not p ut fo rth m ine ha nd aga inst m y lord ; for he

[Saul] is the LORD's anointed.

1 Chronicles 22:10 He sha ll build an house fo r my name; and he [Solom on]sha ll be my son, and I will be his fa the r; and I will estab lish the throne of his

kingdom over Israel for eve r.

Hebrews 7:1 For this Me lchised ec , king o f Sa lem, priest o f the most high

God, who m et Ab raham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and

blessed him;

7:2 To w hom a lso Ab raham ga ve a tenth p art of a ll; first being b y

interpreta tion king o f righteousness, and a fter tha t a lso King o f Sa lem,

which is, king o f peace;

7:3 Without fa ther, without m othe r, without descent, having neither

beg inning o f da ys, nor end of life; but m ade like unto the Son o f God ;

ab ideth a priest continually. [Melchised ec bea ts them a ll]

WHAT THE BIBLICAL INSPIRATION CAN DOThis brief c hapter is only a g limpse intend ed to help the rea der further

reflec t if the existing Bible is the Word o f Go d. For the sake of b revity a nd

fa irness, just a few abbrevia ted imp ressions, exclusively from the Judeo-

Christian scholars, are b eing respec tfully p resented .

- As soon a s the Western mind em anc ipa ted itself from the Church's

suppression and Ca nonica l rule, civiliza tion to Europ e c ame in lea ps and

bounds. (Life of Mo ham ma d - Sir William Muir)

ON VIOLENCE:- After the First World War, numerous ministers, b ishops, reve rends and

Biblica l scholars dem anded tha t Psa lms be expunged from the Prayer

Book. "This hum an slaughte r was, a fte r a ll, only a materializa tion o f some

of the Psa lms which a re sung in the Church a nd which form a part of the

Boo k of Common Prayer." (Signed by the Dean of Canterbury, Bishop o f

Sa lisbury, Bishop of Lond on, Dean Inge, Rev. Sea n Va ldosta , Lord Hea dley,

and othe r lea d ing Church lea ders from Europ e, 1921) - The Teac hing s of

Jesus - Prof. K. U. Dean

ON SCIENCE:

- Dog ma tized Christianity plac ed an em bargo o n freed om of thought. In1600, the ed uc ator Bruno w as burnt a live by a fire ma de slow a t the stake

since the Church equated m od ern lea rning w ith magic. (Three Great

Prophets in the World - Lord Hea d ley)

- Christianity d estroyed the sc ientific achievements of the Greco-Rom an

c iviliza tions it ha d inherited . (Notwithstand ing the grea t a ccom p lishments

of M uslims in the East), nea rly two thousand yea rs had to intervene

be tween Archimed es and Newton in Europ e. What a fea rful blank! (A

History of the Intellec tua l Develop ment o f Europ e - J. W. Draper)

127



- Mirac les, superstitions, pe rsec ution and sup pression d ispensed by the

Church kept the Europ ea n m ind preoc cupied at the expense of p rog ress.

(My Quest fo r the Master - Rev. H. Barnet t)

- In the 18th c entury, Vanini had his tong ue p ulled out a nd wa s then b urnt

a live, for he b elieved in evolution. (Evidenc e o f de Francon - Tribuna l of

Toulous)

- The A lmighty w ill not a llow men to live on the o pposite side o f the ea rthbec ause they would not b e a b le to see Christ a t his sec ond c om ing. (St.

Augustine)

- The g eo metry of Euc lid is useless and the geo graphy of Pto lemy a

b lunder since they go aga inst the Sc rip tures. (Bishop Euseb ius)

- Anima ls which m ove ha ve limbs and musc les. The e arth ha s no limbs or

musc les; therefore it cannot m ove. (Ca rd inal Barberi, 1700 CE)

- That wonderful lady Hypa tia, the grea test exponent o f anc ient Greek

philosop hy, wa s assaulted by St. Cyril in 414, made to wa lk naked in the

street and killed in the church with c lubs. (Prof. K. U. Dean)

- Sa te llites are illusion o f the Devil. There a re no othe r p lanets since G od

ma kes nothing in va in. If there a re o ther plane ts, how c an they b e

inhabited w ithout Adam, and how c an they b e redeem ed by Christ

Jesus? (Pope Paul V, 1616 CE)

- "Aim straight , my b rothe rs. Long live the Mo dern Sc hool!" This is wha t

Franc isco Ferrar sa id b efo re fac ing the firing squad in the 1909 Spa in

und er 'Holy Inquisition ' by the C hurc h. His only c rime w as advocating

ed ucation for the youth. (Lord Hea d ley)

- The a ge d Ga lileo Ga lilei fac ed seve re p ersec ution from the Churc h for

supporting Copernicus' Helioc entric theo ry (that the ea rth moves around

the sun).

- In the 17th century, La Peyrere published his work 'Pre-Adamites' provingthe existenc e o f humans long befo re 10,000 years. The Churc h to rtured

him in prison for the rest of his life, 31 years.

- Fa ther Clavius reb uked Copernicus and Ga lileo about the telescop e, "To

see the sa tellites, men w ould ha ve to ma ke an instrument tha t wo uld

c rea te men."

- Pytha goras the Greek (580-500 BC) taught the heliocent ric system of

astronomy. Nic holas Copernicus red iscove red the fa c t and wrote his

famous boo k, "The Revolutions of the Hea venly Bod ies". It c ould only be

sec ret ly pub lished a fter thirty yea rs, in 1543. The b oo k rea c hed the ga llant

autho r only at his last b rea ths.- This lunatic (Cop ernicus) wishes to reverse the e ntire sc ienc e o f

astronomy, but Sac red Sc ripture te lls us tha t Joshua com manded the sun

to sta nd and not the ea rth. (Ma rtin Luthe r, 1483-1546)

- Is there a nyone so senseless as to believe tha t men and the trees on the

othe r side of the ea rth ha ng upside dow n? (Bishop Lac tantius)

OF WOMEN:

- Do you know tha t each one of you is Eve, the harb inge r of sin? (Father

Tertullian)

128



- You (w om en) a re the d evil's ga teway. (St. Bernard )

- Wom an is the orga n of the Devil. (St. Anthony)

- Wom an is a scorpion ever rea dy to sting. (St. Jerom e)

IS BIBLE THE WORD OF GOD?- The Old and the New Testame nts cannot b e c onsidered the Word o f

God . They a re no thing but a huma n effort to c onnec t w ith God. They a re

books about Him a nd not from Him. (The Annihila tion o f Ma n - Leslie Paul)

- So, Pope Gregory 1, the G rea t ha d this to say in 590 CE: Ignoranc e is the

mo ther of devo tion. (The Teac hing s of Jesus - Prof. K. U. Dean)

- Question is often ra ised why the Jews and Christians take the irra tiona l

Bible a s d ivine. Espec ially the Western m ind has a lot to learn in this reg ard .

Religion to them is a patrimony which they must respec t bec ause it has

been inherited . (Warfare o f Sc ienc e a nd Theology - Andrew W. White)

- It is imp ortant to know w hat the Church igno res (and hides) and why.(Wha t Christians and Muslims Should Know Ab out Themselves - Robert W.

Mond)

- The Protesta nts d rop ped 14 books from the Bible. (Is Bib le The Bib le? -

Rev. Cha rles Darling - 1843 CE)

- The ab lest C hristian write rs and chronolog ists d iffer to the extent of 3,500

yea rs in fixing the t ime of e very event in the Bible. (Christianity before

Christ - Kersey Graves)

- All books of the Bible have b een tamp ered with enormo usly. (The History

of the Churc h - Bishop of Caesarea , Eusebius Pamphili, 260-339 CE)

- The New Testament sc ripture w as p icked a t the Counc il of Nicea in 325CE, and ra tified no soo ner tha n a t the Counc il of Hippo Reg ius in 393 CE,

the Synod of Cartha ge in 397 CE, and the C artha ginian Counc il in 419 CE.

(The Cross and the Cresc ent - Rev. Dr. Jera ld F. Dirks)

- But the Eastern Churches agreed with this p rop osed c anon in 508 CE,

only afte r the Syriac transla tion wa s mo dified c atering to their dem ands.

(Is Bib le Go d 's Word? - Josep h Webb)

- The Counc il of Nicea wa s convened by Emp eror Constantine in 325 CE

to fo rmulate a uniform Christian d oc trine. It beg an with 2,048 de leg a tes

129



but 1,730 of them had to be turned out for grave d isputes. The rema ining

318 delegates failed to reach an a greement as to w hich ones of the 5,000

sc riptura l writings should b e a uthorized by the Church. Eventua lly, all the

writings we re p laced on the floo r in a 'c losed ' room. One m orning found

som e b ooks and letters lying on the tab le. They w ere taken as holy and ,

thus, canonized ! Histo ry is silent about the mysteries of those nights.

(Historica l Aspec ts of the Counc il of Nice a - Rev. Isaac Boyle)- The Old Testame nt has been subjec ted to hum an ad d ition a nd

delet ions. Many of the stories in it a re m ere fic tion. (Va lentine's Jewish

Encyclopedia )

- The ultima te selec tion of the books to be inc luded in the Old Testament

wa s a huma n, and not d ivine, dec ision. (Jud a ism a s Creed and Life -

- Josep h Lew is op ens his masterp iece boo k, The Bible Unmasked (1926)

thus: This book is ded ica ted in a ll seriousness to rabb is, p riests and

And this is where the autho r, Shabb ir, respec tfully ends his boo k.
