So how do we know which books belong to the Bible? Or as the Church would call it, the ‘canon’of the Bible?
Answer? “Because the Church tells us so!”. St. Augustine goes on convincingly to say that “if the Church won't tell me these Books are the Bible, I won't believe it”.
This is a perfect example of the ‘master-slave’ relationship between the ancient gods and the primitive slave species, which I postulate in this book. Humankind is told ‘do not question, do not doubt, stay fearful, your reward will be great’. None of the books of the New Testament were even written by the time Jesus was crucified, and yet he was the prophet who made his mark on humanity. All the other prophets suddenly became irrelevant as Jesus rose to take the centre stage. There is so much preparation and expectation for over a thousand years of the coming of the saviour, and yet we only find out his name after his birth. Does that not strike you as very suspicious? There are another 35 books, dealing with themes of the Old and New Testaments. They are attributed to Enoch, Moses, Solomon, St. Paul, St. Thomas, St. James, St. Peter, Virgin Mary; and they are also not in the Bible, because the Church says so!
But in 1517, the Christian Church, which was completely controlled by the Catholics, was shocked when Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Church of All Saints in Wittenberg, which was used as a customary notice board, inviting the priests to a debate. The letter challenged the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church on the nature of penance, the authority of the pope and the usefulness of indulgences. They sparked a theological debate that would result in the birth of the Protestant, Lutheran, Reformed, and Anabaptist traditions within Christianity. This was the real beginning of the Protestant Reformation and the split from the Catholics by many who felt uncomfortable with the violent stranglehold of the Catholic Church. The letter contained 95 points outlining what was essentially wrong with the teachings of the Church.
After disregarding Luther as “a drunken German who wrote the Theses; when sober he will change his mind,” Pope Leo X ordered the Dominican professor of theology, Silvester Mazzolini, to inquire into the matter. Prierias recognised Luther's dangerous potential, declared him a heretic and wrote a scholastic refutation of the Theses. It asserted papal authority over the Catholic church, and denounced every departure from it as a heresy. You have to remember that Luther was playing with his life. He could have been charged with various offences for doing this, but his dislike for the Catholics was so intense that it became his passion. Even so, the following excerpt from a letter shows his subservience to the Catholics. The tone in which it is written may have been the style of the day, but one can almost smell the anxious fear between the lines, knowing his days may be numbered. He even uses the word 'fear' in the opening lines of the letter below. Is it not ironic that we are talking about the representatives of the ‘House of God’ who were supposed to be the disciples of love and peace? But as we discover in this book, our creator and god, did not have those benevolent characteristics in his personal arsenal.
Letter to the Archbishop Albrecht of Mainz – 31 October 1517.
“ To the Most Reverend Father in Christ and Most Illustrious Lord, Albrecht of Magdeburg and Mainz, Archbishop and Primate of the Church, Margrave of Brandenburg, etc., his own lord and pastor in Christ, worthy of reverence and fear, and most gracious. The grace of God be with you in all its fullness and power!
Spare me, Most Reverend Father in Christ and Most Illustrious Prince, that I, the dregs of humanity, have so much boldness that I have dared to think of a letter to the height of your Sublimity. The Lord Jesus is my witness that, conscious of my smallness and baseness, I have long deferred what I am now shameless enough to do, moved thereto most of all by the duty of fidelity which I acknowledge that I owe to your most Reverend Fatherhood in Christ. Meanwhile, therefore, may your Highness deign to cast an eye upon one speck of dust, and for the sake of your pontifical clemency to heed my prayer.”
Luther had a very clear opinion on the Church of the time, believing that the Catholics were only interested in lining their pockets and controlling people with fear. “Many of the fanatics of our day pronounce words of faith, but they bear no good fruit, because their purpose is to turn men to their perverse opinions.” He also had his views on the Aryans who were so prominent in the shaping of Christ's philosophies.
“The Aryans were sharp fellows. Admitting that Christ had two natures, and that He is called “very God of very God” they were yet able to deny His divinity. The Aryans took Christ for a noble and perfect creature, superior even to the angels, because by Him God created heaven and Earth. Mohammed also speaks highly of Christ. But all their praise is mere palaver to deceive men.”
I do admit that I share Luther's concern about the ‘brutality’ of god, as taught by the Church in 1517 and as it still continues to do today.
“I hated the just God who punishes sinners. In silence, if I did not blaspheme, then certainly I grumbled vehemently and got angry at God. I said, ‘Isn't it enough that we miserable sinners, lost for all eternity because of original sin, are oppressed by every kind of calamity through the Ten Commandments? Why does God heap sorrow upon sorrow through the Gospel and through the Gospel threaten us with his justice and his wrath?’ This was how I was raging with wild and disturbed conscience.”
Luther initially preached tolerance towards the Jewish people, convinced that the reason they had never converted to Christianity was that they were discriminated against, or that they had never heard the Gospel of Christ. However, after his overtures failed to convince Jewish people to adopt Christianity, he began preaching that the Jews were set in evil, anti-Christian ways, and needed to be expelled from the German body politic. He repeatedly quoted the words of Jesus, in Matthew 12:34, where Jesus called the Jewish religious leaders (Pharisees and Sadducees) of his day “a brood of vipers and children of the devil”. In the book written three years before his death, Luther listed seven recommendations how to deal with the Jews:
“I shall give you my sincere advice: First, to set fire to their synagogues or schools and to bury and cover with dirt whatever will not burn, so that no man will ever again see a stone or cinder of them.... Second, I advise that their houses also be razed and destroyed. For they pursue in them the same aims as in their synagogues. Instead they might be lodged under a roof or in a barn, like the gypsies.... Third, I advise that all their prayer books and Talmudic writings, in which such idolatry, lies, cursing, and blasphemy are taught, be taken from them.
Fourth, I advise that their rabbis be forbidden to teach henceforth on pain of loss of life and limb... Fifth, I advise that safe-conduct on the highways be abolished completely for the Jews... Sixth, I advise that usury be prohibited to them, and that all cash and treasure of silver and gold be taken from them and put aside for safekeeping...
Seventh, I recommend putting a flail, an axe, a hoe, a spade, a distaff, or a spindle into the hands of young, strong Jews and Jewesses and letting them earn their bread in the sweat of their brow, as was imposed on the children of Adam (Gen. 3:19)...”
In spite of these seven recommendations, he added:
“... But if we are afraid that they might harm us or our wives, children, servants, cattle, etc., if they had to serve and work for us for it is reasonable to assume that such noble lords of the world and venomous, bitter worms are not accustomed to working and would be very reluctant to humble themselves so deeply before the accursed Goyim then let us emulate the common sense of other nations such as France, Spain, Bohemia, etc., compute with them how much their usury has extorted from us, divide this amicably, but then eject them forever from the country. For, as we have heard, God's anger with them is so intense that gentle mercy will only tend to make them worse and worse, while sharp mercy will reform them but little. Therefore, in any case, away with them!”
Luther's harsh comments about the Jews are seen by many as a continuation of medieval Christian anti-Semitism, and as the above quote shows, reflec
ts earlier anti-Semitic expulsions in the 14th century, when Jews from other countries like France and Spain were invited into Germany. Since Luther's statements were widely read at the time, it is possible that this doctrine fed anti-Semitism, leading to the Nazi era about four centuries later. Early Nazi leaders loved to quote these particular statements of Luther.
Does this rosy picture of our Christian history not disturb you yet? It certainly disturbs me greatly to see the shallow moral values, lack of respect for humanity, hatred of others, infinite conceit and everything that flies in the face of the ‘Love of God’. These are the foundations upon which our unshakable faith is standing today. Are you not concerned? Are you happy to accept it? Or can you see that something has gone wrong somewhere in the distant past, to have caused this unacceptable situation?
But the angry Martin Luther went a lot further in criticising the Church and the Jews. In accord with his posture as restorer of Christianity, he took it upon himself to judge various books of the Bible as ‘God's holy Word’. This was not a healthy situation for him. This is what he had to say about some of the books of the Old Testament:
“We have no wish either to see or hear Moses... Job is merely the argument of a fable... Ecclesiastes ought to have been more complete. There is too much incoherent matter in it, Solomon did not, therefore, write this book... The book of Esther I toss into the Elbe. I am such an enemy to the book of Esther that I wish it did not exist, for it Judaises too much and has in it a great deal of heathenish naughtiness ... The history of Jonah is so monstrous that it is absolutely incredible. . .”
The books of the New Testament fared no better. He rejected the following from the canon – Hebrews, James, Jude and the Apocalypse. Instead, he placed them at the end of his translation, after the others, which he called “the true and certain capital books of the New Testament” – “St. John is the only sympathetic, the only true Gospel and should undoubtedly be preferred to the others. In like manner the Epistles of St. Peter and St. Paul are superior to the first three Gospels.” The Epistle to the Hebrews did not suit him either: “It need not surprise one to find here bits of wood, hay, and straw.” Luther denounced The Epistle of St. James as “an epistle of straw.” – “I do not hold it to be his writing, and I cannot place it among the capital books.” He held this view because it proclaimed the necessity of good works, contrary to his heresy. “There are many things objectionable in this book”, is what he said about Apocalypse. “I feel an aversion to it, and to me this is a sufficient reason for rejecting it.”
Now that we have dealt with the largest and possibly the most confusing of the world’s religions, let us have a quick look at the rest of the major world religions, demonstrating the chaos that exists amongst humanity in a desperate attempt to find their roots. The information given is intended to provide a short introduction to the major religions as defined classically. Each description has been kept short and as uncomplicated as possible.
Hinduism. Origin circa 4000 BC.
Hinduism is the most complex religious system that has evolved on Earth. It is almost impossible to define it. But the origins of Hinduism can be traced to the Indus Valley civilisation sometime between 4000 and 2500 BC. The origins are very murky and the influence of the early settlers in this part of the world, called the Vedas, must have played a crucial role in the origins of Hinduism, because the Vedic scriptures form pretty much the largest part of the Hindu sacred texts. There was however another group of people who had a huge impact on Hindu evolution, they were called the Aryans. This group of highly skilled, highly educated, industrialised and technologically advanced people had a profound influence on all the Near Eastern and Indus religions. The Aryan history is equally murky and their true origin and source of knowledge is very mysterious. But, they were there in large numbers to influence the Hindus, Jews, Christ and Christians and all the other global cultures for over 2,000 years. But as much as some historians claim that the Aryans began to write the Vedas when they arrived in the Indus Valley, this is argued against very strongly by other scholars who have shown a Vedic presence and culture in the region as far back as 8000 BC. The Vedas were in possession of their Vedic poems in oral form for thousands of years before they were finally written down. There are however others who have presented astounding evidence that the Vedas may have been able to write as far back as 8000 BC. This is at least 3,000 years before the next known script emerged.
So let's take a quick look at these Aryans who also populated and conquered Europe. They inspired a very early class structure based on skin colour, they were the earliest colonialists and even inspired modern-day warriors like Hitler. Scholars believe that these Aryans originated from somewhere in Northern Mesopotamia, south west of the Black Sea in eastern Anatolia (Turkey). They are described as light-skinned or ‘whites’ who spoke a very early proto-European language from which all the latter European languages evolved. This is fantastic news to feed my theory because according to the Sumerian tablets the Igigi, (who were the astronauts who looked after the base on Mars, while the Anunnaki were those on Earth) came to Earth after the year of the Flood and took Earthling females for their wives. They were treated almost as outcasts by the Anunnaki in Sumer and therefore they moved away establishing their own community in a land of their own. And guess where they moved to? They went north towards the mountainous areas of Anatolia, south east of the Black Sea, and to the Cedar mountains where Enlil had spent much of his time as well. They were very white skinned and their community grew rapidly as they shared their knowledge and technology with their new human offspring. The new race of humans that emerged out of this cohabitation was also white, and confident, because of their ‘godly’ ancestry. From there they infiltrated most of Asia and Europe spreading their civilisation and language. As a result the languages spoken in India actually fall into the various Indo-European languages. Latin, Greek, Hittite, Sanskrit, French, German, Latvian, English, Spanish, Russian and others, are all Indo-European (IE) languages; or more properly Proto-Indo-European (PIE), which is the lost ancestral language from which those languages originated. The Indo-European language used the term ‘Aryan’ to classify a group of people not only racially, but also ethnically based on the type of accent or ‘Aryan speech’ the people spoke. This should have been expected however. It is fascinating to see how the gods who created Humankind as a lower slave species, immediately classified them in a lower ethnic class, giving birth to slavery and racism right at the beginning of humanity. Arya, meaning ‘noble’, appears in various Indo-European languages. Once again this should be expected from the Igigi gods who regarded themselves as way superior to lesser mortal humans. They probably used the plural of the word ‘Aryas nobles’ to describe themselves prior to their dispersal. It may even have survived in Eire (Ireland), but it certainly survives in Iran where they are referred to as “Airyanam vaejo” – ‘realm of the Aryans’. The discovery of thousands of such cognate words in widely separated languages, along with similar grammatical structures, led philologists to conclude, early in the nineteenth century, that most European languages had evolved from a common proto-language spoken millennia ago.
Greek, Latin and Sanskrit were considered the closest languages to PIE, and much of the reconstructed Aryan proto-language is based on them. Modern Lithuanian is thought to be the most archaic living language, closer to the original Aryan speech than any other. Tocharian is an Indo-European language which had been spoken in Chinese Turkestan, indicating that the Aryans reached as far as China in the Far East. The only possible explanation of how they could have had such an impact on the entire European and Asian ancient history, is because they were more advanced, or possibly even related to the ancient ‘gods’ of Sumer. And that is exactly who they were. A ‘white’ blend between Igigi gods and mortal humans who suddenly saw themselves in a higher bracket than the rest of the mortal beings on Earth. A recent discovery of the remains of blond-haired people in China is a large missing piece of the Great H
uman Puzzle, which is beginning to take shape very quickly under the watchful eye of science as it shows how far the Aryans explored.
Perhaps the most famous proof for the prehistoric existence of PIE is the word for king: ‘rex’ in Latin, ‘raja’ in Sanskrit, ‘ri’ in Old Irish, along with a host of others, all are obviously variants of a common word for king. And since none of the peoples speaking these various languages were in physical contact with one another during the historical period, for which written records do exist, comparative philologists claim that their respective languages must have evolved from a single proto-language. The Aryans worshipped a sky-god, they traced descent through the male line, they raised cattle, they drank mead, they used horse-drawn chariots which they probably invented as weapons of war, which included bronze and iron. The civilisations of Asia were completely outclassed and outsmarted by the Aryans when they arrived.
Aryans, or more specifically Indo-Aryans, make their first notable appearance in history around 2000 BC as invaders of Northern India. This event holds firm with the behaviour of Anunnaki god Marduk, who was proclaiming himself as 'god above all' at that time. The result of the conflict between the Anunnaki in the biblical lands is well documented and outlined in the last chapter. It was however around 2000 BC when Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by the Anunnaki's nuclear and biological weapons, which forced many inhabitants of the surrounding lands to flee and evacuate. Remember that the white Aryans (Igigi) were Marduk's followers, so when they suddenly made their appearance in the Indus Valley, the ancient Vedic tales begin to carry much of the content dealing with these invasions and subjugation of the dark-skinned inhabitants.
