"Do
you (O ye men of Faith) covet that they will believe in you when
[in fact] a party of them used to hear the Word of Allah, then
they would distort it knowingly after they had understood it?
Behold! when they meet the men of Faith they say: "We
believe" but when they meet each other in private they say:
"Shall you tell them what Allah hath revealed to you that
they may engage you in argument about it before your Lord?"
Do ye not understand (their aim)? Know they not that Allah
knoweth what they conceal and what they reveal? And there are
among them illiterates who know not the Book but (see therein
their own) desires and they do nothing but follow conjecture.
Then woe to those who write the Scripture with their own hands
and then say: "This is from Allah", to traffic with it
for a miserable price. Woe to them for what their hands do write
and for the gain they make thereby" [Holy Qur'an
2:75].
INTRODUCTION
The "Gospel" writers often mention that Jesus going
about and preaching the Gospel (the Injeel):
"And Jesus went...preaching the GOSPEL...and healing every
disease among the people."
[Matthew 9:35]
"...but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the
GOSPEL'S, the same shall save it."
[Mark 8:35]
"...preached the GOSPEL..."
[Luke 20:1]
The "gospel" is a frequently-used word, but what
Gospel did Jesus preach? Of the 27 books of the New Testament,
only a small fraction can be accepted as the words of Jesus. The
Christians boast about the Gospels according to St. Matthew,
according to St. Mark, according to St. Luke and according to
John, but there is not a single Gospel "according" to
(St.) Jesus himself! We sincerely believe that everything Christ
(May the peace and blessings of God be upon him) preached was
from God. That was the Injeel, the good news and the guidance of
God for the Children of Israel. In his life-time Jesus never
wrote a single word, nor did he instruct anyone to do so. What
passes off as the "GOSPELS" today are the works of
anonymous hands!
ERRORS
IN THE BIBLE
The publishers (Collins) say in their notes on the bible, on
page 10:
"This bible (RSV) is the product of THIRTY-TWO SCHOLARS,
assisted by an advisory committee presenting FIFTY co-operating
denominations."
Preface of RSV reads
"...the King James Version has with good reason been termed
"THE NOBLEST MONUMENTS OF ENGLISH PROSE." its revisers
in 1881 expressed admiration for "ITS SIMPLICITY, ITS
DIGNITY, ITS POWER, ITS HAPPY TURNS OF EXPRESSION...THE MUSIC OF
ITS CADENCES, AND THE FELICITIES OF ITS RHYTHM." It
entered, as no other book has, into the making of the personal
character and the public institutions of the English-speaking
peoples. We owe to it an incalculable debt."
Yet In the same breath they say:
"yet the King James Version has GRAVE DEFECTS. And, the
these defects are so MANY AND SO SERIOUS as to call for revision…"
The Jehovah's Witnesses in their "Awake!" Magazine,
dated 8 September, 1957, carried this startling headlines - "50,000
ERRORS IN THE BIBLE?". The article said that "most
errors have been eliminated." If MOST are eliminated,
how many remain out of 50,000? 5000? 500? 50? Even if 50 remain,
do you attribute those errors to God?
One of the most serious of those "grave defects"
which the authors of the RSV had tried to rectify concerned the
Ascension of Christ. There have been only two references in the
Canonical Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and of John to the most
stupendous event in Christianity - OF JESUS BEING TAKEN UP INTO
HEAVEN. These two references were obtained in every Bible in
every language, prior to 1952, when the RSV first appeared.
These were:
"So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was
TAKEN UP INTO HEAVEN, and sat down at the right hand of
God."
[Mark 16:19]
"While he blessed them, he parted from them, and was
CARRIED UP INTO HEAVEN."
[Luke 24:51]
If you can lay your hands on a RSV 1952, you will be shocked
that Mark 16 ends at verse 8, and after am embarrassing expanse
of blank space the missing verses appears in "small
print" as a footnote at the bottom of the page. Also the
last six words of Luke 24:51, i.e. "AND WAS CARRIED UP INTO
HEAVEN" replaced by a tiny "a" to tell you to see
the footnote if you please, where you will find these missing
words. Every honest Christian has to admit that he does not
consider any footnote in any Bible as the word of God. Why
should the paid servants of Christianity consign the mightiest
miracle of their religion to a mere footnote?
Also John Chapter 8 begins with verse 12. Can you imagine any
chapter in any religious Book beginning with verse 12 as the
first verse? Verses 1 to 11 are expunged as a fabrication by
the 32 Christian Scholars of the highest eminence, backed by 50
co-operating denominations in their "Most up-to-date
version of the Bible" - the RSV. The translators claimed
that they had access to the "Most Ancient Manuscripts"
from which they learnt that the story about the adulteress was a
fabrication.
CONTRADICTIONS
IN THE BIBLE
God or the Devil?
"And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against
Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number
Israel and Judah."
[2 Samuel 24:1]
"And SATAN stood up against Israel, and provoked
David to number Israel."
[1 Chronicles 21:1]
What did the Lord decree, 3 years famine or 7 years famine?
"So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him,
Shall SEVEN YEARS OF FAMINE come unto thee in thy land?
or wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they
pursue thee?"
[2 Samuel 24:13]
"So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the
LORD, Choose thee Either THREE YEARS' FAMINE; or three
months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of
thine enemies overtaketh thee"
[1 Chronicles 21:11,12]
How old was Jehoiachin? 8 or 18?
"Jehoiachin was EIGHT YEARS old when he began to
reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem:
and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD."
[2 Chronicles 36:9]
"Jehoiachin was EIGHTEEN YEARS old when he began to
reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his
mother's name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of
Jerusalem."
[2 Kings 24:8]
700 or 7 000? Horsemen or footmen?
"And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew the men
of SEVEN HUNDRED CHARIOTS of the Syrians, and FORTY THOUSAND
HORSEMEN, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died
there."
[2 Samuel 10:18]
"But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the
Syrians SEVEN THOUSAND MEN which fought in chariots, and
FORTY
THOUSAND FOOTMEN, and killed Shophach the captain of the
host."
[1 Chronicles 19:18]
The difference 2 000 and 3 000 is only 50% exaggeration!
"And it was an hand breadth thick, and the brim thereof was
wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it
contained TWO THOUSAND baths."
[1 Kings 7:26]
"And the thickness of it was an handbreadth, and the brim
of it like the work of the brim of a cup, with flowers of
lilies; and it received and held THREE THOUSAND baths."
[2 Chronicles 4:5]
The difference between 4 thousand and 40 thousand is only 36
000! (The Jews did not use the "0" (zero) in the Old
Testament)
"And Solomon had FOUR THOUSAND stalls for horses and
chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the
chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem."
[2 Chronicles 9:25]
"And Solomon had FORTY THOUSAND stalls of horses for his
chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen."
[1 Kings 4:26]
Plagiarism in the Book of God?
[Isaiah 37] and [2 Kings 19] are identical word for word. Yet
they have been attributed to two different authors, centuries
apart, whom the Christians claim have been inspired by God.
MOST
OBJECTIVE TESTIMONY
"All scripture IS given by inspiration of God, and IS
profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness."
[2 Timothy 3:16 (AV by Scofield)]
The verse implies that if any scripture originates from God,
it will prove profitable for -
1. DOCTRINE: teaching
2. REPROOF: for convicting, rebuking, for showing
people what is wrong in their lives.
3. CORRECTION: useful for correcting faults.
4. INSTRUCTION UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS: for training and
teaching us how to live correctly.
Let us
examine the "Holy Bible" with these objective tests.
The very first book of the bible - Genesis - provided
us with many beautiful examples. Open chapter 38 and read. We
are given here the history of Judah, the father of the Jewish
race, from whom we derive the name "Judea" and
"Judaism." This patriarch of the Jews got
married and God granted him three sons, Er, Onan and Shelah. When
the first-born was big enough, Judah had him married to a lady
called Tamar.
"BUT ER, JUDAH'S FIRST BORN WAS WICKED IN THE SIGHT OF THE
LORD; AND THE LORD SLEW HIM."
(Genesis 38:7). Under what heading, from the above four
principles of Timothy will you place this sad news? The second
- "REPROVE" is the answer. Er was wicked so God killed
him. A lesson for all, God will destroy us for our wickedness. REPROOF!
Continuing with this Jewish history, according to their
custom, if a brother died and left no offspring, it was the duty
of the other brother to give "seed" to his
sister-in-law so that the deceased's name might be perpetuated.
Judah, in honour of this custom, orders his second son Onan to
do his duty. But Jealousy enters his heart. It will be HIS
SEED but the name will be his brothers! So at the critical
moment
"HE SPILLED IT ON THE GROUND...AND THE THING HE DID
DISPLEASED THE LORD: WHEREFORE HE SLEW HIM ALSO."
(Genesis 38:9-10). Again, where does this slaying fit into
Timothy's tests? "REPROOF!" is the answer
again.............>>>>To be completed...
A Woman's Revenge
Shelah grows up and is, perhaps, married to another woman.
But Judah had not fulfilled his obligation to Tamar. Deep in his
heart he is terrified. He has already lost two sons on
account of this "witch", -
"LEST PERADVENTURE HE (Shelah) DIE ALSO, AS HIS BRETHREN
DID."
(Genesis 38:11). So Judah conveniently forgets his promise. The
aggrieved young lady resolves to take revenge on her
father-in-law for depriving her of her "seed" right.
Tamar learned that Judah is going to Timnath to sheer his
sheep. She plans to get even with him on the way. She forestalls
him, and goes and sits in an open place en route to Timnath.
When Judah sees her, he thinks she is a harlot because she has
covered her face. He comes to her and proposes -
"ALLOW ME TO COME IN UNTO THEE; AND SHE SAID WHAT WILT THOU
GIVE ME, THAT THOU MAYEST COME IN UNTO ME?"
He promises that he would send her a goat kid from his flock.
What guarantee could she have that he would send it? What
guarantee did she require, Judah queried. "His ring, his
bracelet and his staff" is the ready answer. The old man
hands her these possessions to her, and
"CAME IN UNTO HER, AND SHE CONCEIVED BY HIM."
(Genesis 38:16-18).
THE MORAL LESSON
Before we seek the heading from Timothy 3:16, under which to
categorize this filthy, dirty story from the "Book of
God", I am tempted to ask, as you would be tempted to ask:
what is the moral (?) lesson that our children will learn from
Tamar's sweet revenge?
CAN'T HIDE FOR EVER
Three months later, as things were bound to turn out, news
reached Judah that his daughter-in-law, Tamar, had played the
"harlot" and that she was with
"CHILD BY WHOREDOM AND JUDAH SAID, BRING HER FORTH, AND LET
HER BE BURNT."
(Genesis 38:24). Judah had deliberately spurned her a
"witch" and now he sophistically wants to burn her.
But this wiley Jewess was one up on the old man. She sent the
"ring", the "bracelet", and the
"staff", with a servant, beseeching her father-in-law
to find the culprit responsible for her pregnancy. Judah was in
a fix. He confessed that his daughter-in-law was more
"RIGHTEOUS" than himself, and
"HE KNEW HER AGAIN NO MORE."
(verse 26). The Jehovah's Witnesses in their "New World
Translation", translate the last quotation as -
"HE HAD NO FURTHER INTERCOURSE WITH HER AFTER THAT."
INCEST HONOURED
I do not want to bore you with details, but the end verses of
Genesis 38 deal with a duel in Tamar's womb: about the twins
struggling for ascendancy. The Jews were very meticulous about
recording their "first-borns." The first-born got the
lion's share of their fathers patrimony. Who are the lucky
winners in this pre-natal race? Their are four in this unique
contest. They are "PHAREZ and ZARAH of TAMAR
by JUDAH." How? You will see presently. But first,
let us have the moral. What is the moral in this episode? You
remember Er and Onan: how God destroys them for their several
sins? And the lessons we have learnt in each case was "REPROOF."
Under what category of Timothy will you place the incest of
Judah, and his illegitimate progeny? All these characters are
honoured in the "Book of God" for their bastardy. They
become the great grandfathers and great grandmothers of the "only
begotten son of God."(?)
See Matthew 1:3. In every Version of the Bible, Christians
have varied the spelling of these characters' names from those
obtained in the Old Testament (Genesis Ch. 38) with those
contained in the New Testament (Matthew Ch. 1) to put the reader
off the scent. From "PHAREZ" in the "Old" to
"PARES" in the "New", and ZARAH to ZARA and
TAMAR to THAMAR. But what about the moral? God blesses Judah for
his incestuous crime! So if you do "evil" (Er), God
will slay you; if you spill "seed" (Onan), God will
kill you, but a daughter-in-law who vengefully and guilefully
collects her father-in-law's (Judah's) "seed" is
rewarded. Under what category will the Christians place this
"honour" in the "Book of God?" Where does it
fit? Is it.....Your?
1. DOCTRINE?
2. REPROOF?
3. CORRECTION?
4. INSTRUCTION INTO RIGHTEOUSNESS?
Ask him who comes and knocks at your door - that professional
preacher, that hot-gospeller, that Bible-thumper. Here, he
deserves a prize if he can grant an explanation for the correct
answer. There is non born who can justify this filth, this
pornography under any of the above headings. But a heading has
to be given. It can only be recorded under - "PORNOGRAPHY".
PORNOGRAPHY
IN THE BOOK OF GOD
DAUGHTER SEDUCE THEIR FATHER
Read Genesis 19, verse 30 to the end. To continue: the
"history" has it that, night after night, the
daughters of Lot seduce their drunken father with the noble (?)
motive of preserving their father's "seed".
"seed" figures very prominently in this "Holy
Book": forty seven times in the little booklet of Genesis
alone! Out of this another incestuous relationship come the
"Ammonites" and the "Moabites", for whom God
of Israel was supposed to have had a special compassion. Later
on in the Bible we learn that the Jews are ordered by the same
compassionate God to slaughter the Philistines mercilessly -
men, women and children. Even trees and animals are not to be
spared, but the Amonites and the Moabites are not to be
"distressed" or "meddled" with because they
are the seed of Lot! (Deuteronomy 2:19)
No decent reader can read the seduction of Lot to his mother,
sister or daughter, not even to his fiancée if she is a chaste
and moral woman. Yet you will come across perverted people who
will gorge this filth. Tastes can be cultivated!
Read again Ezekiel 23: The "whoredoms" of the two
sisters, Aholah and Aholibah. The sexual details here puts to
shame even the unexpurgated edition of many banned books. Ask
your "born again" Christian visitors, under what
category will they classify all this lewdness? Such filth
certainly has no place in the "Book of God."
Every reference is from the Holy Bible:
1. SEX BETWEEN FATHER AND HIS TWO DAUGHTERS: Night
after night both the daughters of the prophet Lot seduce their
drunken father and conceive children from him. [Genesis
19:30-36]
2. SON COHABITS WITH HIS MOTHER: Reuben the eldest son
of Jacob, in the absence of his father, had sexual intercourse
with his father's wife and Israel (another name for Jacob) heard
it. This episode was reported to him, but he did not fume or
spank his son for his naughty behaviour. Nor did God have a
single word of reproach for him. [Genesis 35:22]
3. JUDAH COMMITS INCEST WITH HIS DAUGHTER-IN-LAW: She conceives
immediately and delivers bastard twins who become the
grandfathers of Jesus Christ. Thus God rewards Judah and his
progeny. [Genesis 38:15-30]
4. AMNON, ONE OF THE SONS OF THE PROPHET DAVID RAPES HIS
SISTER: "A worthy son of a worthy father" according
to the "Holy" Bible, Amnon by a masterful stratagem
rapes his sister Tamer and God did not punish or reprimand him.
[2 Samuels 13:5-14]
5. ANOTHER SON OF DAVID, THE MAN ACCORDING TO GOD'S OWN
HEART, RAPES HIS MOTHERS (10 IN A ROW) WHOLESALE: Absalom
sets up a tent on the flat palace roof and lays ten of his
father's wives and rapes them all one by one, in the
"sight of the whole of Israel"
[2 Samuel 16:21-23]
6. JERUSALEM (THE JEWS) THE INSATIABLE WHORE: Neither
the Assyrians, the Babylonians nor the Egyptians ("great of
flesh") could ever satiate the Jewish whore. Other
prostitutes were paid by their clients for their service but
this one paid them for being serviced.
"She spread out her legs to every passerby!"
[Ezekiel 16:23-24]
7. THE TWO SISTERS COMPETING WITH ONE ANOTHER IN THEIR
HARLOTRY:
"For she doted upon her parmours (her lovers) whose flesh
(genital organs) was as the flesh (genital organs) of donkeys
and whose emission is like the emission of horses."
[Ezekiel 23:1-35]
If these little snippets do not satisfy you, then open these
other chapters and verses in your Bible at home. Do not forget
to highlight them in RED for easier reference. All these juicy
snippets are sexually stimulating, but morally and spiritually
enervation, and DAMNING!
(a)
"She seizes him and kisses him... Come, let us take our
fill of love till the morning, let us delight ourselves with
love, FOR MY HUSBAND IS NOT AT HOME..."
[Proverbs 7:7-22]
(b) Says the woman:
"My king was lying on his couch... My lover has the scent
of myrrh AS HE LIES UPON MY BREASTS."
[Song
of Songs 1:12-13]
(c)
"By
night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth...when I found
him...I HELD HIM AND WOULD NOT LET HIM GO, until I had
brought him into my mother's house to the room where I was
born."
[Songs of Songs 3:1-4]
(d)
"Behold,
you are beautiful my love; Your LIPS are like a scarlet
thread...Your TWO BREASTS are like fawns...Your rounded THIGHS
are like jewels...I say: I will go up the palm tree...Oh, may YOUR
BREASTS be like clusters of vine."
[Song
of Songs 4:1-7]
(e)
"And
Samson went to Gaza, and there he saw a harlot (a whore, a
hooker, a prostitute) and he went in unto her (had sexual
intercourse with her)."
[Judges 16:1]
BAN THE BOOK!
George Bernard Shaw said,
"THE
MOST DANGEROUS BOOK (the Bible) ON EARTH, KEEP IT UNDER LOCK AND
KEY."
Keep
the Bible out of your children's reach. But who will follow his
advice? He was not a B.A. (born-again) Christian.
"Reading
Bible stories to children can also open up all sorts of
opportunities to discuss the morality of sex. AN UNEXPURGATED
BIBLE MIGHT GET AN X-RATING FROM SOME CENSORS,"
(The
Plain Truth October 1977)
GENEALOGY
OF JESUS
For a man who had no genealogy, the Christian fathers have
manufactured one for him. And what a genealogy! Six adulterers
and offsprings of incest are imposed upon this holy man of God.
"The
BASTARD shall not enter congregation of the Lord even
unto the tenth generation."
(Deut. 23:2 KJV). Why should God give a "father"
(Joseph) to His "son" (Jesus)? And why such an ignoble
ancestry? Between David and Jesus, God "inspired"
Matthew to record only 26 ancestors for His "son". But
Luke, also "inspired", gathered up 41 forefathers for
Jesus (Matthew 1:6:16 and Luke 3:23-31). The only name common to
these lists between David and Jesus is JOSEPH and that too, a
"supposed" father according to Luke 3:23 (KJV). Could
both lists have emanated from the same source, i.e. God? Matthew
and Luke make David, the King, the prime ancestor of Jesus,
because of that false notion that Jesus was to sit on the
"Throne
of his father David"
(Acts
2:30).
IS
THE BIBLE INSPIRED WORD OF GOD?
LUKE
NOT AN EYEWITNESS
"Even
as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were EYEWITNESSES,
and ministers of the word; IT SEEMED GOOD TO ME ALSO,
having had perfect understanding of all things from the very
first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,"
[Luke
1:2-3]
WATCH
THE PRONOUNS
"And
as Jesus passed forth from thence, HE (Jesus) saw a man,
named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and HE
(Jesus) saith unto HIM (Matthew), Follow me, And HE
(Matthew) arose, and followed him."
[Matthew 9:9]
"This
is the disciples which testifieth of these thongs, and wrote
these things, and WE know that that HIS testimony is true."
[John
21:24-25]
Was Luke inspired by God to say that Jesus was the son of
Joseph?
"And
Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (AS
WAS SUPPOSED) the son of Joseph..."
[Luke
3:23]
The words "(as
was supposed)"
appearing in brackets are not in the original Greek manuscript
of Luke! These words are a gloss of the translators.
In different vernacular languages of the world, like Arabic,
Afrikaans, Zulu, etc. the words "as was supposed" are
retained in the translations but the brackets are removed. Thus
by removing the brackets the words become the declaration of
Luke, and if Luke was inspired then the words are transmuted
into an utterance of God. This is how easy the word of man is
transformed into the word of God in Christianity.
