Tathbit Dala'il Nubuwwat Sayyidina Muhammad
Before we go any further I would like to introduce an excerpt from an ancient document written by 'Abd al-Jabbar: This work is most definitely biased, and according to Israeli scholar Shlomo Pines was probably distilled from a polemic authored by surviving Jewish Christians during the fifth or sixth century against the Pauline Church. "The Romans (al-Rum) reigned over them. The Christians (used to) complain to the Romans about the Jews, showed them their own weakness and appealed to their pity. And the Romans did pity them. This (used) to happen frequently. And the Romans said to the Christians: "Between us and the Jews there is a pact which (obliges us) not to change their religious laws (adyan). But if you would abandon their laws and separate yourselves from them, praying as we do (while facing) the East, eating (the things) we eat, and regarding as permissible that which we consider as such, we should help you and make you powerful, and the Jews would find no way (to harm you). On the contrary, you would be more powerful than they." Hence you find: "Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;"--Ephesians 6:5. Slavery was a key component of the Roman Empire. "Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."--Matthew 19:6. The Romans were monogamus while the Jews had a long history of polygamy. "Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth."--1Timothy 4:3. Timothy is not part of the original epistles attributed to Paul, and is part of the latter letters known as the pastorals. It was probably penned by the Marcionites in the mid second century. "For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs."--Romans 14:2. All of these pericopes reflect a falling away from the true religious beliefs of Jesus and his followers, and represent what happens when you have a temple built not by God without hands, but by man. You would hardly consider an oxen weak, yet all he eats are herbs. This is corruption. You cannot change the scriptures to coincide with the beliefs and traditions of the masses in order to attract more converts, or to take in more donations. This is why a temple built by human hands cannot and will not endure.

"And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city, And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans."--Acts 16:20, 21. Here you find verification of what 'Abd al-Jabbar wrote in Acts. "The Christians answered: "We will do this." (And the Romans) said: "Go, fetch your companions, and bring your Book (kitab)." (The Christians) went to their companions, informed them of (what had taken place) between them and the Romans and said to them: "Bring the Gospel (al-injil), and stand up so that we should go to them." But these (companions) said to them: "You have done ill. We are not permitted (to let) the Romans pollute the Gospel.-- Tathbit Dala'il Nubuwwat Sayyidina Mahammad 'Abd al-Jabbar. Here you clearly find the intentions of the Romans to subvert the teachings of Christ to suit their own purposes.

Eusebius (Eccleastical History), citing the second century Church Father Clement of Alexandria: "The worst corruptions to which the New Testament has ever been subjected originated within one hundred years after it was composed."

"...theological disputes, specifically disputes over Christology, prompted Christian scribes to alter the words of scripture in order to make them more serviceable for the polemical task. Scribes modified their manuscripts to make them more patently 'orthodox' and less susceptible to 'abuse' by the opponents of orthodoxy"--Professor Bart D. Ehrman, 'The Orthodox Corruption of Scripture'.

What your minister conveniently has failed to tell you is that the Bible represents an ongoing war between the temple worshipping Pharisee and the baptizing meditating Essene sects who did not believe in temple worship, or animal sacrifice. This feud had been going on for a few centuries when Jesus supposedly happened along during the first century CE. The Essene seemed to have won the battle with the Pharisee, but their victory would prove short lived.

"Christianity was not first taught at Antioch, nor was it taught in the first or second century, but about 225 A. D.; and was taught at first under the name of Gnosticism."--J. M. Roberts, 'Antiquity Unveiled', testimony of Ammonius Saccas.

The Mercer Dictionary of the Bible states that: "By the late first and early second centuries the name 'Christian,' which early believers avoided using of themselves, was beginning to be accepted". This was due to the influx of Mithraic initiates who called themselves Christians. In the theological conflict between Jews and Gentiles, the Mithraic clergy adopted the Gospels corrupting them to make them support the tenets of their Greek Mystery religious system portraying the original disciples of 'The Way' (Kabbalah) as heretics who were too Jewish to understand the teachings of Jesus by creating a Replacement Theology which states that Jesus was born among the Jews to condemn them, and then took his rightful place as the leader of the Christians (enlightened Mithraic initiates) meaning that the Gentile Church was the only true Church.

The following agreement was reached during the council of Nicea. "It was agreed among the bishops there assembled, to destroy all books that threw any light upon the mythological origins of Christianity."--J. M. Roberts, 'Antiquity Unveiled', testimony of Caracalla, Bishop of Nicomedia.

"Under the Nicene state religion, book burning became a prominent form of ritualized violence against heresy and paganism. The literature that was burned was chiefly of the magical, astrological, religious, philosophical or anti-Christian variety. People had their limbs amputated for copying heretical and other banned books."--Ferdinand Bardamu, 'Why Europeans Must Reject Christianity'. Heresy simply means 'choice', and paganism is a Christian expletive to describe other religions many of which were based on the very same misguided mythological premise as was Christianity.

The Romans were very tolerant of other people's religious beliefs. "As soon as the Empire became Christian, this toleration ceased. The only writings to be permitted were those supported by the line currently regarded as orthodox. By 326 Constantine had authorised the confiscation and destruction of anything that challenged orthodoxy."--'Bad News About Christianity-Cultural Vandalism'.

"...all men of intelligence knew that the story of Jesus Christ was nothing but the old story of Christos or Chrishna of India revived."--J. M. Roberts, 'Antiquity Unveiled', testimony of Caius Valerius Maximianus Galerius, Emperor of Rome.

The corruption of the texts continued well into the fourth century. "In the year 325 A.D. was perpetrated one of the most colossal frauds and deceptions in the annals of history. This was the date of the Council of Nicea, whose task it was to create a new religion that would be acceptable to Emperor Constantine..."--'The Historical Apollonius Versus the Mythical Jesus' By: Dr. R. W. Bernard, Ph.D.

"Aware that the old religion of Rome was in a state of advanced decay and was daily losing its hold on the people... Constantine saw that by adopting Christianity they could take advantage of the popular prestige created by the martyrdom of the early Christians. Thereby, Constantine could cover up his own past crimes, gain increased public favor and extend and consolidate his empire"--Ibid.

"In the second century we have seen too many instances of attempts to tamper with the text of Scripture, some merely injudicious, others positively dishonest". Scrivener states that "it is no less true to fact than paradoxical in sound, that the worst corruptions to which the New Testament has ever been subjected, originated within 100 years after it was composed: and that Irenaeus and the African Fathers, and the whole Western, with a portion of the Syrian Church used inferior manuscripts"--F. H. Scrivener, 'Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament'. Dean Burgon quotes Gaius (AD175-200) who speaks of the source of corruptions that survive in the early papyri: "The Divine Scriptures these heretics have audaciously corrupted. Laying violent hands upon them, under pretense of correcting them."--Burgon, 'The Revision Revised, p. 323.' Yes, this is the same divinely inspired holy Bible that the Christian clergy is all too willing to wave in your face, claiming it to be the word of God, should you dare to challenge their authority, or should I say audacity.

The condemnation of early Gnostic Christians was done purely for political reasons, "crucial to the development of Christianity as an institutional religion. In simplest terms, ideas which bear implications contrary to that development come to be labeled as heresy; ideas which implicitly support it become orthodox"--Elaine Pagels, 'Gnostic Gospels'.

It is now generally accepted that the Gospel of Mark was the first written. According to Bishop Papias c 145 CE "And the presbyter said this. MARK having become the interpreter of PETER, wrote down accurately whatsoever he remembered. It was not, however, in exact order that he related the sayings or deeds of Christ. For he neither heard the Lord, nor accompanied him. ... For one thing he took especial care, not to omit anything he had heard, and not to put anything fictitious into the statements. MATTHEW put the Oracles (of the Lord) in the Hebrew language, and each one interpreted them as best he could."--(Papias, quoted by Eusebius, Hist. Eccles. iii, 39; ANF. i, 154-5.) In a previous book I have clearly demonstrated that this gospel was brought back from further India by Apollonius of Tyana who with the help of his team composed the original which was found, at a later date, in its mutilated form by the heretic Marcion who then edited it and published it. "Lucian and Marcion were the St. Luke and St. Mark of the Christian Scriptures."--J. M. Roberts, 'Antiquity Unveiled', testimony of Lucius of Cyrene.

"Matthew also issued a Gospel--[see it grow--Papias said only oracles of the Lord] among the Hebrews in their own dialect, while Peter and Paul were preaching at Rome, and laying the foundations of the Church. After their departure, Mark, the disciple and interpreter of Peter, did also hand down to us in writing what had been preached by Peter. Luke also, the companion of Paul, recorded in a book the Gospel preached by him. Afterwards, John, the disciple of the Lord, who also had leaned upon his breast, did himself publish a Gospel during his residence at Ephesus in Asia."--(Iren. Adv. Haer. Bk. III, Ch. 1, i; ANF. i, 414.). We are supposed to believe that the Apostle Matthew writing independently somehow happened to include almost all of the Gospel of Mark in his gospel. About ninety percent of Mark's material is found in Matthew.

Of course the idea of Peter preaching at Rome is utter nonsense. "And when we came to Rome,...Paul called the chief of the Jews together...And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee. But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against."--Acts 28:16,21,22 KJV. This supposedly happened c 60-61 CE. Why doesn't Paul seek out Peter, who was supposedly the first archbishop of Rome, or members of the Christian community? Could it be that he didn't seek out Peter because he knew there was no miraculous angel and that Peter was dead, and he didn't seek out members of the Christian community because there wasn't a Christian community at that time living in Rome.

The Christian clergy likes to refer to Gnosticism as a second century heresy, but that claim is refuted by their very own writings. "We have understood that Simon was the author of all heresy."--Eusebius 'Church History', chapter 13:6. Now, how could Gnosticism be a second century heresy if Simon was the author of such heresies when Simon lived during the early and middle part of the first century. So, it is far more likely that it was Gnosticism, and not Orthodoxy which was the original form of Christianity during the first century. This clearly demonstrates that Christians do not even begin to comprehend their own scriptures. If you carefully read the Pauline Epistles you will find that it actually was Simon (Paul) who was crucified, and when they crucified him they also crucified the Christ within.

Why is this important? According to Barbara Thiering's pesher theory it was Simon who was at the center of the crucifixion story and not Jesus, and a careful reading of the Synoptic gospels tells us that it was actually Simon who was crucified and not Jesus. Simon is the English version of the Hebrew name Shimon. Shimon comes from the Hebrew word Sh'ma which means to listen, or hear and obey. The reason for this is symbolic. It means those who listen will be saved and encamp in the east or the right hemisphere of the brain, the camp of Judah.

So, you can see that claims of the Orthodox cult that Gnosticism was a second century heresy are totally bogus. It was the Orthodox Church that copied its religious beliefs from the original Gnostic texts modifying them to their liking. Modern day Christianity has had no issue with Gnosticism for you see they had all but obliterated the concept from the religion by either converting them or eliminating them. However, back in 1945 in Upper Egypt near the town of Nag Hammadi Gnostic texts were discovered.

It has always seemed dubious to me that if there actually were a person named Jesus Christ that many of his followers would have forgotten that he actually existed within one hundred years of his death. It seems far more likely that Jesus Christ has some sort of esoteric spiritual meaning that was not understood by the material orthodox Mithraic clan who were hell bent on selling religion so they invented a real life person named Jesus Christ. Without a real life Jesus their religious claims would have fallen on deaf ears since their teachings do not address the need to be in contact with God through meditation with Christ. You will see this later in the epistle of the Hebrews, which by the way is often considered spurious by many religious scholars. Martin Luther thought possibly that Apollos was the author of Hebrews, Apollos being Apollonius. This makes sense since the nine original Pauline Epistles brought back from India were translated, and not written by Apollonius. This explains the difference in both writing style and content.

The Nag Hammadi find included: 'The Acts of Peter and the Twelve Apostles,' 'Allogenes' (The Foreigner), 'The Apocalypse of Adam,' 'The First Apocalypse of James,' with the term Apocalypse meaning Revelation 'The Second Apocalypse of James,' 'The Apocalypse of Paul,' 'The Apocalypse of Peter,' 'The Apocryphon of James,' 'The Apocryphon of John,' 'The Gospel of Philip,' 'The Gospel of Thomas,' 'The Gospel of Truth,' 'A Valentinian Exposition,' among numerous other writings. While it is believed that these texts were secreted away during the book burnings of the 4th century sometime after the Nicene Council, it is not as clear as to exactly when they were actually written.

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the Gnostic scriptures is that they lay buried for over 1600 years, and therefore were not subject to redactions as were the canonical scriptures. For this reason we can get a far clearer image of exactly what transpired during the early days of Christianity than we can from the Christian scriptures. Remember, the Gnostics have had no control over these writings for the last two thousand years, so any revisions that were made reflect the Orthodox point of view, and yet the Gnostic position is still quite evident throughout the scriptures.

If you have not read or are not familiar with the Bible this may come as a surprise to you. The scriptures were not originally written for the Catholic Church nor do they have anything to do with the Christian religion. When you understand the meanings of these obscure sayings you will find that they not only do not support religious doctrine, but portray Jesus as someone who was not a great supporter of organized religion, let alone the founder of one. According to Slavonic Josephus: "Now he opposed himself in much to the Law and did not observe the Sabbath according to ancestral custom".

"There is a general consensus among scholars that the 'Gospel of Thomas' - discovered over a half century ago in the Egyptian desert - dates to the very beginnings of the Christian era and may well have taken first form before any of the four traditional canonical Gospels. During the first few decades after its discovery several voices representing established orthodox biases argued that the Gospel of Thomas was a late-second or third century Gnostic forgery. Scholars currently involved in Thomas studies now largely reject that view, though such arguments will still be heard from orthodox apologists and are encountered in some of the earlier publications about Thomas."--The Gnostic Society Library, Introduction.

"These are the hidden words that the living Jesus spoke, and that Didymus Judas Thomas wrote down. And He said: "Whoever finds the meaning of these words will not taste death."--Gospel of Thomas. The very name Thomas supports the theory that Jesus had a twin brother since all three of his names mean twin. In astrology the twins represent Gemini.

These Gnostic writings represent the early Jewish Christians and are obviously a thorn in the side of the Roman Orthodox cult. If you read Joseph Atwill's stirring commentary on the creation of the Christian religion 'Caesar's Messiah', you will find that the Christian religion as we know it today did not start with the crucified savior Jesus Christ, but rather with the Roman Flavian Dynasty. The original early Christian sects like the Nazoreans and the Ebionites, which had little in common with the Orthodox Church, were driven into extinction by the Church. The Church then harmonized these early Messianic Jewish sects into the mainstream of Christianity. Hence, Peter and the rest of the Apostles were Messianic Jews and not Christians. Christianity was more the product of Paul, the Romans, and the cult of Mithra and had little to do with Judaism. To learn more about the history of Christianity you can find my last book 'The Mystery of Jesus Christ and the False Messiah' on line.

It has long been known that the earliest followers of Jesus Christ were known as the Nazoreans and that sometimes early on they split into a new group known as the Ebionites. What we know about the Ebionites is vague because most of what they had written was destroyed by the Catholic Church after the Nicene Council. However, we are fortunate that the Patrician Fathers were so angered by the actual followers of Jesus that they preserved snippets of those writings, in order to disparage them. One of these writings became known as the Gospel of the Ebionites. Now, we know that this group was active during the mid-first-century because no less important figures in the Christian religion than James the Just, and Mary Magdalene, were supposedly members of this sect, and Mary the Mother of Jesus was a Nazorean. So, compared to the current scriptures, this stuff is old, real old. These were the original Jewish Christian sects. Modern day Christianity has its roots, not in Israel, but in the Sinai and among the Greeks living in what is today, Turkey.

"This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."--Matthew 3:17 Just how important is this statement? Well, let me say this, the whole Christian religion rides on this statement being true. If it is not true then the whole Christian religion is nothing more than a lie. As you can see the phrase comes from Matthew which was written somewhere c 90 CE, but in all likelihood was redacted numerous times over the following several centuries.

So, here is what the Gospel of the Ebionites has to say; "Thou art my beloved Son, and in thee am I well pleased. And again: 'This day have I begotten thee.' --Gospel of the Ebionites, Epiphanius, Haeres. XXX 13. The idea of Jesus being begotten on this day is commonly known as 'adoptionism', and is common among Gnostic sects, but as you can clearly see these scriptures predate the canonical gospels as attested to by no less an authority than Irenaeus himself. In other words Jesus is a man who becomes 'I am' or God, and there is no virgin birth, and no conundrum of Jesus being God and being born of himself. So the phrase in Matthew is like most of the Christian scriptures a forgery, and hence there exists no basis for the Christian religion based on religious faith. This quote can also be found in the mid second century writing of Justin Martyr 'Dialogue with Trypho', Chapter LXXXVIII, and in St. Augustine's 'Exposition on the Book of Psalms.' Since Augustine wrote during the late 4th and early 5th centuries this must have been a rather late redaction to the Gospel of Matthew.

If you have already abandoned religion then let me start by throwing a kink into all scientific observations. Every experiment that you perform or observation that you make is based on your sensual and visual experiences and hence all waves in those procedures have already been collapsed by you. There is no obvious means of overcoming this obstacle. For this reason the process of vison still remains unsettled as does the understanding of consciousness.

A Nazir or Nazirite is a mystic or a person who separates themselves from society, but that is not what the Christian church wants you to know. The Christian clergy could not deal with Jesus the Nazorean, so they conveniently invented a town called Nazareth. "And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene."--Matthew 2:23. In order to pull off their deception the Christian clergy had to deal with the problem of Jesus being a Nazorean. There never was such a prophecy in the Old Testament. So, they concocted a city that did not exist and called it Nazareth. At that time there was no such city or town called Nazareth. To learn more about Nazareth check out 'The Mystery of Jesus Christ and the False Messiah,' where you will find a whole chapter devoted to this topic. You can find the book online. As you read further we will deal with a number of other issues that the deceivers had to deal with.

Let me shed some light on the following verses from Matthew: "But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, (When the ego was dead it was safe to leave Egypt or the carnal mind) Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life. (Israel is the union of the emotional body with the mental body) And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. (He arose from the lower mind to the renewed consciousness). But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:" (When he learned that parts of the ego were still intact they went into Galilee which is the circuit of the mind.)--Matthew 2:19-22. "The Messiah will appear in the land of Galilee."--(Zohar 1:119a). This seems odd coming from a Jewish source, but as I have been trying to demonstrate Jesus' teachings are not an extension of Pharisaic Judaism, but of Jewish mysticism known as the Kabbalah.

"Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven."--Matthew 26:64. The right hand of power is the right hemisphere of your brain. If you do a mirror meditation known as scrying you can materialize spirits of the departed. After a few minutes you will begin to see clouds and the spirits of the dead will materialize out of the clouds. "And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory."--Mark 13:26.
