Lies, Deceit and Forgery.

From the earliest times, one can see in hindsight how the early Christian church fathers had used lies, deceit and forgery to establish their fictitious demigod, Je-Zeus Christ, to be seen as GOD Almighty. They had even altered the text in the Christian bible to reflect that false pagan dogma. Even the Protestant Christian bibles, like the Authorized King James version had not escape this deception. Take a look at the four gospels. Study them and you will see how they had altered the text. In the birth story in the gospel of Matthew, it says; And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name... Here they had inserted the name Je-Zeus. But when you read further down the line, the people were instructed to call the child, Emmanual. So what gives? Given what is being said, they did not do what they were told to do. The early pagan church fathers must have missed this and had accidentally left it intact. Then in Luke 1:31 they again changed the name to Je-Zeus, where it says that he will be great, and be called a son of the Highest and that the Lord GOD, shall give unto him the throne of his father David. Do you ever see the name Je-Zeus or Je-Zeus Christ in the Old Testament? Neither do I. The early pagan Christian church fathers changed the name because they wanted a more Gentile, Roman or Latin name in order to totally separate themselves from that Jewish crowd. So the early pagan church fathers tampered with the text and changed the name to read Je-Zeus or Je-Zeus Christ in all those passages which make up the New Testament in order to harmonize the four gospels with the works of Acts and those of Paul's. So you see, once again the pagan Christian bible is after all fallible and has obvious errors, deliberate or otherwise. Another topic I want to touch on, is that of miracles. All miracles stem from GOD, our Heavenly Father. It do not come from man nor through some made-up pagan superstition demigod. Therefore; If the Christian Je-Zeus Christ performed all those miracles which are written in the New Testament, like giving sight to the blind, healing the sick and raise people from the dead, how is it that there are no first hand contemporary record from the first Century, aside from what has been written in the four gospels, that can verify all the miracles first hand? Two people comes to mind who had lived during the first century, that is Philo Judaeus of Alexandria and Josephus who was a Jewish historian. Both of these people knew each other and would have been fully aware of the person of Je-Zeus Christ and his miracles. None of these contemporary people had written anything about Je-Zeus Christ. There is not one letter, or any shred of documentation which was written about the many miraculous exploits this Je-Zeus Christ is purported to have done. Great writers such as these wrote extensively of events of minor importance, but not one of them wrote a word about the supposed mightiest character who had ever appeared on the face of the earth? Do you not find that strange? Especially when a god-man at whose command the leprous were made clean, a man who fed five thousand people with a satchel of five loaves of bread and two fish, or was it seven loaves of bread, and a few small fish. Matthew was confused as to how many loaves they really had. To top it all, a man whose word defied the grave and gave life to the dead. I am sure that people would have noticed such a man who had been a rotting corps and had come back to life fully intact and normal. Some Christian claim that Josephus had written about this Je-Zeus Christ. The truth is that for two hundred years after the death of Josephus, the name of Je-Zeus Christ did not appear in any of his history. One must remember that there were no printing presses in those days. Books were written by hand. Copies of books had also to be written by hand. Therefore, it was easy to add or to change what an author had written. They already had a lot of practice with forgery. Forgery with the Old and New Testament documents, that of fabricating Apostolic succession and of papal Bulls. The Christian church fathers felt that they had to mention something about their fictitious Je-Zeus Christ in a copy of Josephus history. So the dead historian was made to do it by the hand of a Christian Father, called Eusebius, he was the first historian of Christianity, who lived in the early part of the fourth century CE. After the forgery was completed and was left standing for a few years to collect a little grime and some stains, then lo and behold, a copy of "The Antiquities of the Jews" appeared in which this passage was included: "About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he was one who performed surprising deeds and was a teacher of such people as accept the truth gladly. He won over many Jews and many of the Greeks. He was the Messiah. And when, upon the accusation of the principal men among us, Pilate had condemned him to a cross, those who had first come to love him did not cease. He appeared to them spending a third day restored to life, for the prophets of God had foretold these things and a thousand other marvels about him. And the tribe of the Christians, so called after him, has still to this day not disappeared. - Jewish Antiquities, 18.3.3 §63 (Based on the translation of Louis H. Feldman, The Loeb Classical Library.)

It was a brazen forgery that was ever perpetrated to lend proof and credence to the Christian fictitious god, Je-Zeus Christ. Why that forgery do not surprise me? Because they will do most anything, legal or illegal to get what they want. Had the passage been in the works of Josephus, Tertullian or Origen, Clement of Alexandria would have been eager to hurl it at their Jewish opponents in their many controversies. Many scholars agree the passages were inserted by some Christian Church Fathers. It was not written by Josephus. Getting back to the subject, not one first hand mention from any contemporary writer made any remark about Je-Zeus Christ many extraordinary miraculous events that are associated with him in the Christian New Testament gospels. After all, such a person would have become well known among the people who considered themselves to be intelligent and civilized. Many such people would have flocked to be healed by a Jew or no Jew. The Christian gospels we know are second, third or can even be forth hand accounts and can not be totally relied upon its trustworthiness. Their composition, many scholars debated about them as to their date when they had been written. Some had assign them as early an age as their calculations and their guesses would allow them. But it is still only an educated guess because we are not really one hundred percent sure when in fact these were actually written. One thing I am one hundred percent sure of, is that the Yeshua which I speak of, a son of GOD, who was Anointed by GOD, was a talented young leader, who tried to enlighten his people about GOD, and warn his people about GOD's anger and the impending doom of planet Earth. Granted that his preaching was a bit radical to those who held unto their old doctrines and traditions. But the Jewish Temple establishment gave him no heed, that Yeshua, the Anointed One, was forced to go amoung the people. He was later charged unjustly as a rebel against Rome and was executed for treason. Although he in no way resembled that phony Christian Je-Zeus Christ, in those miracles as stated in the Christian New Testament text. Those miracles stated in the Christian gospels were fabricated by man to give the appearance that their fictitious Je-Zeus Christ had the power of GOD. As many Christians in our modern era fabricate miracles and tell of wondrous tales that are attributed to their phony demigod, Je-Zeus Christ. Yeshua did heal some people and help people to realize that the demons within them were nothing more than figments of their imagination drawn from old pagan superstitious nonsense. People by then had adopted the pagan myth of Satan, the devil and his demons. With that understanding, he cast out those demons which people of that era had believed in. Yeshua was by no means a demigod or ever claimed to be GOD. He had his own human faults and fraility during his time on Earth. He did provide the inspiration for that fictitious character Je-Zeus Christ which the apostate, pagan Christians had manufactured. They had used the kernel of his charactor and truth's, out of which they implanted into their fabricated Je-Zeus Christ and made him to be the demigod of that apostate Christian religion. The best one can say about the Christian's phony god, Je-Zeus Christ, is that he is a total myth and people should reject it for what it really is and place it along with the other pantheon of pagan demigods whose factitious lives and deeds make up the mythology of the world. There are too many phony things in people's lives as it is. If their clergy or pastor has not the guts to acknowledge the truth, People should likewise cast them off and find the real GOD of Heaven, for the sake of their soul/spirit self.

Catholic priest sought for 1994 Genocide

NAIROBI, Kenya (CISA) A former government administrator and a Catholic priest are sought for their roles in the 1994 genocide in Rwanda were arrested June 20 in France. Father Wenceslas Munyeshyaka was stationed at the Sainte-Famille Parish in Kigali, Rwanda. The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), based in Arusha, Tanzania, alleges that he took part in the massacres of refugees in his parish and also committed rape. He has been residing in northern France. The prefect of Gikongoro in southern Rwanda in 1994, Laurent Bucyibaruta, is accused of massacres of Tutsis in his prefecture. He lived in Aube in northeastern France. According to Hirondelle News Agency, the two men were indicted by the ICTR in 2005, but it was only last month that their indictments were revealed. The Christian leadership of Rwanda played a fundamental role in the development and execution of the genocide. As colonial powers strengthened their control over Rwanda during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, missionaries dominated the political and social power structure. The missionaries’ main goal was to convert as much of the Rwandan population as they could to Christianity. In 1900 the Society of Our Lady of Africa, also known as the White Fathers, formed the first mission stations in Rwanda. At that time, Rwanda was divided between a Northern, mountainous region dominated by several Hutu Kings and a southern, centralized, single Tutsi monarch. The White Fathers noticed these differences and attempted to convert the Tutsi due to the higher degree of centralization. Father Wenceslas Munyeshyaka was accused of ordering his own church to be destroyed where some 2,000 ethnic Tutsis sought shelter. All those inside the building are said to have died. The Court found the Rwandan clergy was directly involved in the ethnic stratification. One has to question the legal and moral judgment of clergy members for their participation in the genocide itself. The United Nations war-crimes court for Rwanda convicted the Roman Catholic priest, the first it has tried, of genocide and sentenced him to 15 years for his role in the 1994 mass killings.

Such is the mark of that apostate, perverted, pagan, religion of Christianity, the Mark of Cain.

Paul, Saul of Tarsus

Paul (Saul of Tarsus), a Hellenized Jew, who was knowledgeable in the popular Hellenistic mystery religions and became an apostle to the Gentiles. Paul was born in Tarsus. Tarsus is located south of the famous pass, Cilician Gates, which was used by Paul and many other famous figures in the history of Anatolia. Being on the major trade routes and having an important harbor, Tarsus attracted many merchants and trade ships. Tarsus richness and importance was due to its harbor and major roads going to the north west and to the east. Tarsus was taken over by the Romans in 104 BCE, Tarsus became the major city of Cilicia after the victory of Pompey the Great over Mihridates, the king of Pontus (64.BCE). Paul was also a citizen of Rome, and was born early in the first century CE, or late in the previous century BCE. When Paul was young, he was sent to Jerusalem to receive his education at the school of Gamaliel (Acts 22:3). Gamaliel was one of the best or most famous teachers of Jewish theology and practice. Many people think that Paul (Saul) was considered an outstanding young Jewish scholar of his time. The Pharisees were a rigid sect who were against the Jerusalem Community of Peter, or any of their disciples, men or women. Word had arrived to the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem that the heretical (Yeshua) Jewish Sect of "The Way", of the sect of the Nazarenes had spread to Domascisus (Syria). Paul (Saul) had recieved letters from the High Priests and the council of elders in Jerusalem. These letters were addressed to the Synagogues in Damascus and authorized Paul (Saul) to bring back Jewish converts of Yeshua's teachings in chains to Jerusalem. Paul (Saul) was also determined to crush this new expansion. While Paul was on the road to Damascus, he converted to the teachings of Yeshua, the Anointed One, that heretical Jewish sect. He was executed in Rome, under Nero, in about 67 CE. Paul's life and conversion is quite remarkable, to say the least. Though there are great concerns as to Paul's conversion. I believe Paul had some good, basic idea of the teachings of Yeshua, through second hand knowlage, before his conversion. We know that Paul (then Saul of Tarsus) main aim was to destroy the Congregations of Yeshua, called "The Way", which was a sect of the Nazarenes at Damascus and Antioch. The Hebrew word "halacha" means "to walk in the way". It is a term used for the rules that govern religious life. Halacha is an ancient term reflected in the New Testament meaning someone who "walks in the way". A few examples of this are found in Luke 1:6; Acts 21;21; Romans 13:13; Peter 2:10; and 2 John 4-6. From these passages there is a clear indication that in the first century congregations, who were Nazarenes, a Messianic Jewish halacha being made, and that it was often referred to as a "walk". In the book of Acts we find reference to a group of Yeshua's believers who walk in "the Way". We also find mention of these people before Paul (Saul) had his encounter with Yeshua's Congregation and also during Paul's ministry after receiving Yeshua as the Anointed One. In Acts 24:14 Paul says this;
"But this I do admit to you: I worship the GOD of our Fathers in accordance with the Way. (Which by the way, the Sanhedrin had called the Nazarenes sect, heretical.) I continue to believe everything that accords with the Torah and everything written in the Prophets. Getting back to Paul's persecuting Yeshua's heretical sect. Paul at that time was behaving like an enraged bull as he was trying to put down these heretical Jewish sects which had been established. He was busy slandering, threatening and persicuting the Apostles of Yeshua. (Just like what Christian broadcasts have been doing to me, to a greater extent, for the past few years). Paul was involved with the death of Stephen, and somewhere deep within him, began to have regreat for what he was doing to these people who did no one any wrong or harm. The killing of Stephen, a fellow Jew, must have been bothering him greatly. Paul's conversion took place as he was traveling on the road to Damascus. (1Corinthians 15:8-9). Paul's vision of Yeshua was of a mystical nature which was more like some kind of confrontation from within his own mind when he finally came to the realization, like a bolt of lightning, that Yeshua and his Apostle had been wrongly accused. It was this realization which caused him to re-think what he was doing and convet to side with Yeshua and his Apostles. This ia what happened while traveling on the road to Damascus. Unlike the original Twelve Apostles of Yeshua, Paul did not know Yeshua personally while he was alive. He knew so little about what Yeshua was supposed to have said, done or taught. He got all his information second-hand. Paul was not, in a true sense, an Apostle of Yeshua, the Anointed One. The most can be said about Paul, was that he was a member of the faith. Later, he became loosly associated with the Congregation of the true faith, for he preached about a mystical Yeshua, rather than the actual Yeshua who had actually existed. As he wrote in his own letters, he frequently claimed that his authority as an "apostle to the Gentiles" came directly from GOD (Galatians 1:13 - 16), and not from man. Paul stressed that his apostolic authority should be based on his vision. Unfortunately for Paul, he only knew this mystical Yeshua rather than the true one who had lived and died and returned to the bosom of the Heavenly Father. Paul began preaching about Yeshua for a few years before he went to Jerusalem, and met Peter, the leader of the Congregation known as "The Way", a Nazarenes sect. Problems had started as Paul began his ministry. He had a very controversial ministry, to say the least, that word was sent to Peter, the leader of Yeshua's Congregation about Paul's, teachings and about his display for his lust for sex. Paul was ordered to go to Jerusalem to speak to Peter. When Paul first met the Apostles of Yeshua, in Jerusalem, namely, Cephas (or Peter), James, and John. He did not think much of them personally, but scoffed at their being the pillars of the original Congregation. Paul had provoked intense opposition with Peter, and the other original Apostles of Yeshua, in Jerusalem over the years, though he did make some good points on some issues which Peter and the Apostles could agree upon. Paul frequently usurped the authority of Peter and the original Apostles of Yeshua, who represented the original Jerusalem Congregation. At one point in time, the original Apostles of Yeshua had accused Paul of being an Anti-Yeshua, because of his attitude towards them and Yeshua's teachings. (The pagan Christian church fathers would later change this to read, an Anti-Christ, when they changed the name of Yeshua in their Christian text to what would eventually become the pagan Je-Zeus Christ). Paul was gradualy drawing the Congregation away from their Jewish traditions. By now, it was well known that the deep rift between Paul and the original Apostles of Yeshua, had caused Paul to split up with the Jerusalem Congregation after an altercation. But in the end, Paul had provoked Peter that much that Paul was being looked at as an opponent against Peter and the other Apostles, that in order to keep the peace, Paul was ordered to leave Jerusalem and go to preach among the Gentiles.

NOTE: Peter never had established a Congregation of Yeshua in the city of Rome as the Roman Catholic church often makes that claim. Roman Catholics make this false claim in order to support another false claim to Apostolic Succession to Peter. Peter had only established Congregations of Yeshua in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia. The Roman Catholic church makes many false claims and tend to hide facts which put the church and Christianity in a bad light.

After Peter's death, the Jerusalem Congregation was then operating under James the Just, the brother of Yeshua. Paul was not an apostle of the original twelve. Paul became an opponent many times with the true Apostles of Yeshua, in Jerusalem, and also for a time, with those people who belonged to the Roman Caesar. Paul was also subverting Roman authority through language and action, for a time. Paul had used titles to describe his mystical Yeshua which were claimed by the Roman Caesars. Augustus had claimed the titles "Lord of Lords", "King of Kings", and "Son of God" as he was the adopted son of Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar had declared himself to be a god. I personally think that somewhere along the line, according to some of Paul's letters, he had begun to be far removed in the teachings from the true original Apostles who represented their founder, Yeshua, The Anointed One. According to Acts, Paul's letters make up a substantial portion of the New Testament, which had stimulated diverse reactions and attracted problematic doctrines to his beliefs. But while Paul spoke about Yeshua in mystical terms, he never stated or claimed that Yeshua was a god or that Yeshua was GOD, Almighty. Paul is known to have written or dictated several letters (epistles) to the various Nazarene congregations of Yeshua, known as The Way. By this time, there were pagan groups who were known as Christians, in referance to their Iesous Khristos who hated the Jews, but had accepted the teachings of Paul because he was a Roman citizen. The epistles of Paul were circulated within the new pagan Iesous Khristos congregations, which would become prominent to the Roman pagan communities which would be included in the Christian canon by the early Christian church fathers. Paul was widely considered to be the central figure to the early development and spread of the newly formed pagan religion called Christianity with its mystical Yeshua. Paul should have be deemed to be the founder of Christianity rather than Peter. But then again, their real founder of Christianity has to be someone from within that apostate, pagan, gentile religion who came up with the idea to worship a fictitious, set of Baal gods. For it is plain to see that the beginnings of Christianity had emerged indirectly from Paul's teachings and epistles which became the loosly formed new pagan religious sects known as Christianity. They would eventually deveolp their apostate theology with its mystical Christ and make him into a demigod, which would eventually be deemed by the "church" to be GOD, the Creator, and would become known as Je-Zeus Christ. Therefore; "Christianity" is a reflection of their man-made new creation. I have a very strong suspicion that after the death of Paul, it was during that stage in history when the early Roman pagan Christian church fathers had started their campaign to change the name of Yeshua, the Anointed One, to that of Iesous Khristos (Koine Greek) on all the documents they had. When the Christian churches had gained political power using lies, deceptions, forgeries, and a lot of compromize to justify their actions, they put out a decree to catch or kill all of Yeshua's Congregations who fail to convert to Christianity, and retrive all documents with the mane of Yeshua written in them and destroy such documents by fire. The name of the Christian mythical and mystical Christ, Iesous Khristos, would eventually become IESVS Christus (Latin) which would eventually become Je-Zeus Christ. Then the pagan Christian church fathers quickly embellish their new mystical creature Iesous Khristos and made him into a demigod. They would later on in time, make him GOD, the Creator. The early Christian church fathers would then replace the seventh day Sabbath with the Roman pagan Sunday day of worship to worship their now pagan, mythical, sun god, Iesous Khristos. This change was also forged into the new testament text in Acts 20:7 "(On the first day of the week,) When the disciples were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and continued his speech until midnight. Modern Academic research has been able to reconstruct to some degree the actual historical facts of that era and has uncovered which ones were originally of Paul's from those letters which were attributed to him. They have found out which ones were Paul's real letters which he personally wrote or were composed by him. The indisputably genuine letters of Paul are; Romans, Galatians, Philippians, Philemon, 1 Thessalonians, and maby, 2 Thessalonians. The letters that were found were not of Paul or composed by him are; 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians, these were edited at least a generation after Paul's death. Other letters, such as, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, and Titus, were found to be composed by someone else and had used Paul's name as its author. Paul had not written these letters. There is also a problem with the chronology of Paul's life. I firmly believe that these letters were written by some early Christian church fathers which give their slant on the new, apostate, pagan doctrine of Christianity. I say this because some of those letters which were attributed to Paul have found to be written by other people has resulted serious confusions concerning Paul's theology and his outlook on major ethical issues. Given that there has been found to be such a great amount of text interference by the early pagan Christian church fathers with the tampering of documents, the doctoring up passages in the Old and New Testament text, and their attempt of forgery, clearly shows that the early Christian church fathers had deliberately attempted to deceive people and therefore cannot be trusted. It would be best for people who have a true love for GOD, and for the real person of Yeshua the Anointed, that people should seriously consider to drop that pagan, apostate Christian religion because it's Pope's, Bishops and Clerics had proven time and again to be altogether untrustworthy as to representing the truth and the true GOD of Heaven.

Those within the Cleric, be they popes, cardinals, priests, pastors and even false prophets of pagan Christianity justifies their lies, deceptions, forgeries, false gods, fake icons and miracles in their pursuit to get people to adopt Christianity as their religion. The Vatican and all her harlot church daughters have never been known to stand for truth and justice, but for its church politics. May I remind people who are involved with these apostate, pagan Christian religions what was said; Flee from idolatry, lies and abominations. I speak to you as intelligent people. Things which the pagan worship, they worship to idols, and not to GOD. Do not desire to walk on the path of idolaters. You cannot worship GOD, and worship pagan idols. You cannot love both GOD, your Heavenly Father, and love the pagan gods. Or do we provoke GOD to anger? Therefore; Be a lover of truth and expose decivers and liars. There are many Christian false prophets among the people, as are many false Christian preachers and teachers that will also be among you, who preach destructive heresies, denying even the Nazarene Master who bought them The Way, bringing on themselves only destruction. Many will follow their insidious, sinister ways, and "The Way" of truth they shall maligne.

Simon Peter, Head Apostle of Yeshua

Simon (Cephas) Peter was the Head Apostle of the Twelve Apostles of Yeshua, the Anointed One. Peter was the chief disciple of Yeshua and head of the early Nazarene Congregation of "The Way". The name of Simon, which had come into use in place of the Biblical "Simeon," he had, in accordance with the custom of the time, the second name of "Kaipha" which is the Aramaic equivalent for "rock", and the Latin "Petrus," from "petra", meaning "rock" had come from. Yeshua had given Peter this second name to signify that upon him, as upon a rock, Yeshua's Congregation should be built. Simon Peter and his brother Andrew, were the son's of Jonah, and were natives of Bethsaida. He and Andrew were both fishermen, fishing around the shores of Bethsaida and Capernaum, on the Sea of Galilee, which was called the Lake of Gennesaret. Peter and Andrew were called by Yeshua to be disciples at the same time as James and John, who were the sons of Zebedee. Peter and Andrew must have heard about Yeshua for some time, to just drop their fishing trade as they had done in the story, and go off with Yeshua. No one in real life just drops their livelihood, leave their family and friends and go off with a total stranger, just like that, except when there is an extreme emergency at hand. They must have wanted to see such a person for some time, and felt very honored to be called by such a man as Yeshua. It was Simon Peter who answered Yeshua and had said, 'You are the Anointed, a Son of the living GOD.' whereupon Yeshua answered and said unto him, 'Blessed are you, Simon, son of Jonah: flesh and blood has not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say unto thee also, that you are "Kaipha", and on this rock will I build my Congregation, and the gates of Hades (Death) shall not prevail against it". I wanted to see what was being said about Peter, in the Christian New Testament documents, whom our Beloved Brother Yeshua, had Anointed and made Simon "Kaipha" Peter the Head Apostle of the Nazarene Congregation, called "The Way". In a nutshell, the two documents, 1st and 2nd letters of Peter gave a troubling account of what was going on at that time during the first Century CE. During the time Peter lived. The First letter of Peter is a document addressing to various congregations located in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Antioch, and Bithynia in Asia Minor who were suffering religious persecution at that time. Peter and Stephan had evangelized the area where the letters was sent. At the outbreak of the persecution in 37 CE, which was instigated by the High Priests and council of elders of the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem against the early community of believers of Yeshua,which had begun at Jerusalem, with the martyrdom of Stephen. Stephen, had replaced Judas Iscariot and is the first Apostle mentioned as a martyr for the faith, and is the best known. Stephen's life previous to becoming a member of the faith or his Apostolic appointment remains entirely in the dark. His name is Greek and suggests he was a Hellenist Jew. He might have been a Jew born in some foreign land. Though Stephan could only be the Greek equivalent for the Aramaic Kelil, which represents kelila, meaning crown. His ministry appears to have been mostly among the Hellenist converts with whom the rest of the Apostles were at first less familiar. The fact that the opposition he met with the synagogues shows that he usually preached among the Hellenist Jews.

The Second letter of Peter is a document in which he criticizes Simon Magus; "For you now stand in direct opposition to me". Simon came from Gitta called (Getthon) in the country of the Samaritans. Simon lived in the city of Samaria and was known as a wise man. The Samaritans said of Simon, "This man is that power of God which is Great", a judgment which is only acclaimed to few people. He had made a name for himself and had won adherents by his magic arts. "Magus" is a reference to magic. By this time, there had been many small gentile pagan groups springing up who were also in a competition of sorts, a rival group, with the Nazarene Congregation of Yeshua, "The Way". These gentile pagan groups, becoming known as Christians, was in reference to their mystical Iesous Khristos, who had accepted the teachings of Paul because he was a Roman citizen and Paul was such that he became what people wanted to believe. I believe it was this pagan, gentile group of people Peter was talking about when he said; There are "false teachers" who are distorting the authentic, apostolic tradition, and predicts a final judgment for them. He also explains that GOD has delayed the Second Coming of Yeshua, so that more people will have the chance to reject evil and find their salvation. He calls upon believers to wait patiently for the return of Yeshua and to study scripture. I believe this gives a truer account of what was happening during the time near the end of Peter's earthly life. By then, there had been a substantial pagan, gentile Christian group which had been established in the city of Rome. I greatly suspect that Peter was referring to that gentile, Christian religion as Babylon. I believe that from that time onward, Babylon was a type of codename for that Christian religion, especially those Christians in the city of Rome. Given this understanding, there is no way Peter would ever had become a bishop or Pope of Rome. Reading through Peter 1 and 2 I find it very odd that Peter gave no personal detail account about his Master and the years he had spent with Yeshua, his teacher and Master. There are no personal accounts of Yeshua's life as might have been expected. There are no details on Yeshua's life, nor of Yeshua's actual rendering of his teaching, or of his death. Peter only makes general reference to Yeshua's suffering. It seems strange that Peter had not sought to strengthen his authority by referring to his personal connection with Yeshua, the Founder of the true Faith. I also find it troubling that in Peter's letters, he made references from the Septuagint translation of the Hebrew Bible. The Septuagint translation of the Hebrew Bible was quite appropriate for an international Jewish audience who could not easily read the Hebrew and Aramaic text in their Tanakh. Peter was born and was brought up in Galilee, so he would not have to read Scripture in that form. The Septuagint was a Greek translation created at Alexandria for those Jews who conversed only in Greek and could not read in Hebrew or Aramaic. I also find that most critical scholars are skeptical about the authenticity of Peter's letters, given that it is a Greek translation and that they may not be authentic. Scholars date the epistle as broadly as 72 CE or 92 CE. Scholars believe that someone else had written these letters and the author drew from his or her own memory of things that Peter had said, or perhaps the letters were a translation in Greek from some original source material. Who ever translated or wrote these letters, I believe that the content is authentic. Peter's teachings like; The greatest commandment is "Fear the Lord thy GOD, and serve Him", and reference to observe the harmony between his teaching and that of the Jewish Didache and Didascalia. Idea's like "As you would not like to be murdered yourself, nor to have your wife commit adultery, nor to have your things stolen from you, so do not these things to others". That "Man is the true image of GOD" and that "The pure soul bears His likeness". The belief to honor GOD's image by offering food to the hungry and clothing to the naked, caring for the sick, sheltering the stranger, visiting those who are in prison, and affording the needy all the help we can give. Accordingly, Peter belief in regard to food, prayers, fasts, and ablutions are exactly as that of a pious Jew. Many passages show the close relation of Peter's teachings, to what is taught in rabbinical schools. Of course I must remember that this King James translation I am reading from comes from Christian sources and is not very reliable, given that all reference to Yeshua, the Anointed One, had been obliterated, and was replaced with that pagan, gentile, demigod, Je-Zeus Christ. I also question the authenticity of the letters in; 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, and Titus, which were found to be composed by someone else and had used Paul's name as its author. I think the early Christian church fathers had greatly embellished and reworked these text to suite their agenda to give strength to their false claim of Apostolic Succession to Peter.

There was a forged document written by the early Christian church fathers which was claimed to be genuine, a so-called Gospel of Peter, of which fragments were found in Akhmym, Upper Egypt, in the year 1886-87 CE, (see Harnack, "Bruchstücke des Evangelium und der Apocalypse des Petrus," 1893; Zahn, "Das Evangelium des Petrus," 1893), is of peculiar interest to any Jewish reader, inasmuch as, to judge from the fragments containing the story of the crucifixion, the whole is a product of fierce hatred toward the Jews, was later found to be a forgery. Peter, the original Apostle of Yeshua, was a Jew, and he was made the mouthpiece of the Christian Roman Catholic Church at a time when hostility to his kinsmen, the Jews, had become the albatross of the majority of Christians. Given this fact, the claim which is traditionally held by that apostate, pagan Christian church, that Peter was the first bishop of Rome, is totally false. Another document the Roman Catholic Church had passed off as genuine, was the history of the first century early church fathers which was presented as proof to Apostolic Succession to Peter. That document was also found to be a forgery written by their own hand. Such is the kind of truth which that apostate, pagan church and religion was built upon. The apostate, pagan religion of Christianity was built upon a lie, and as such, it will not prevail, not in this life, or in the new Earth which is to come. I tell you most certainly, those who hear the words of the Holy Spirit, and believes him who has sent me, will have eternal life, and will not come onto judgment, but will pass from death into eternal life.
