MOSAIC BIBLE 

There is a Mosaic Bible in Hebrew, but written in the Samaritan alphabet
and also there is one written in the Samaritan language and alphabet. They
have textual differences in the length of the cycles between the flood and
Abraham's birth. Rome follows the chronology of the Hebrew language text.

The Samaritans repudiated the books of Moses, the Psalms, the Talmud and
Mishna, claiming that the Talmudists had disfigured the books of Moses and
Joshua out of all recognition.


HEBREW

Hebrew did not exist either as a language or as an alphabet in the days of
Moses. The books that now pass current under his name are not the true
records. Moses did not write in Hebrew square letters nor in Samaritan
characters, for both alphabets belong to a later date than Moses.

The Hebrew alphabet is relatively recent and was probably derived from the
Palmyrene writing. The Hebrew Bible is written in the Chaldaic phonographs
of Hebrew words. The square letters Jews rely upon are characters of an
unknown, dead language as abstruse as the cuneiform letters on the mountains
of Assyria. Scholars do not carry the now known Hebrew square letters beyond
the period of the fourth century A.D. Ancient Hebrew is neither Syriac nor
Chaldaic, and was lost after 70 years captivity when the Israelites
assimilated Chaldaic. Ancient Hebrew ceased being spoken at that time. 

Jewish history cannot be carried back one day earlier than the time of
Moses. The language of Abraham was not Hebrew, but Chaldaic. The Hebrew, in
truth, cannot be called an old language.


JEHOVAH

The name Jehovah was unknown to Moses or any Jew before David. NEITHER DAVID
NOR SOLOMON RECOGNIZED MOSES OR THE LAW OF MOSES. They aspired to build
Jehovic temples along the lines of Venus worship and discarded the initiate
teachings of Moses.


OLD TESTAMENT

The Old Testament was most undeniably milked out of the most ingenious
brains of Hebrew Kabalists familiar with Egyptian and Babylonian Sanskrit
centers of learning and with Hindu Deities. The prototypes of nearly all
Biblical personages are found in the early pantheon of India. The sons of
Brahma have become the patriarchs.


SEPTUAGINT

The Septuagint [2] manuscript is our most primary source of the Old
Testament, and it is claimed to have a miraculous inspiration when first
written in Greek, which copy has long been "lost." The texts used are Hebrew
copies that were made from this destroyed Greek manuscript. 

There is much dishonesty surrounding even the writing of the Septuagint
manuscript. Yet people persist in talking of the ancient Hebrew as if one
man alive knows one word of it!

The Hebrew Bible exists no more. What exists now are garbled falsifications.
I U II 135165

With the exception of Paul and Clement of Alexandria, none of the Church
Fathers knew much of truth. They were mostly ignorant and uneducated.
Learning and sin were considered synonymous with the early Christians. They
were painfully ignorant of contemporary teachings on the sphericity of the
Earth and the heliocentric system! How great was their ignorance.


HEBREW SCRIPTURES -- EZRA

The Hebrew scriptures had been tampered with and remodeled, had been lost
and rewritten a dozen times before the days of Ezra. Ezra is probably the
renegade Azara, the ambitious Chaldean priest who refabricated the ancient
lost books taking stray records and combining them with the numerical keys
in which he was versed.

The Christian historians state that the scriptures perished in the captivity
of Nabuchodnonosar, after which Esdras, the Levite, became inspired and
restored again the whole ancient scriptures.

Kenealy states that the works of Esdras themselves must have been destroyed
by Antiochus. Judas Maccabeus or some unknown compilers must have recreated
the Old Testament probably from Greek sources well after the Christian era.

The Bible is a masterpiece of clever, ingenious fables, whose true meaning
is revealed only to initiates. It is tale and allegory, a repertory of
invented personages and of dark sayings and parables and thus quite
misleading to the ignorant. Moreover, exoterically, it is astrolatry and
Sabean worship, pure and simple. 


JESUS' SECRET DOCTRINE

That the apostles had received a secret doctrine from Jesus is evident from
the words of Jerome who confessed it in an unguarded moment. Writing to
Bishop Chromatius and Bishop Heliodorus, he complains that:

"a difficult work is enjoined since this translation has been commanded
me by your Felicities, which St. Matthew, the Apostle, did not wish to be
openly written. He made up this book sealed up in the Hebrew characters,
which he put forth that the book might be possessed by the men most
religious. This very book they never gave to any one to be transcribed. This
book, having been published by Seleucus, a disciple of Manichaeus, who also
wrote falsely The Acts of the Apostles, exhibited matter not for
edification."

Justin Martyr used only this Gospel, as also did most probably Titian, his
disciple. The genuine primitive Christians, the Gnostic [3] Ebionites [4],
rejected all other Christian writings except this original Hebrew Gospel of
Matthew, since destroyed by the Church. The Ebionites and also the Nazarenes
believed that Jesus was but a man, according to Epiphanius. 


MATHEW'S GOSPEL

Jerome states that the Hebrew book written by Matthew, though he translated
it twice, was nearly unintelligible to him, for it was arcane and secret.
Jerome knew that this original Gospel of Matthew was the expounder of the
only true doctrines of Christ, a work of the friend and companion of Jesus.

Matthew wrote his gospel in Hebrew and not in Greek, as it was the gospel
of the Nazarenes and the Ebionite Gnostics. Jerome cunningly translated it
into Greek with numerous secret meanings purposely changed and called it the
original. Matthew's original Hebrew Gospel did not anthropomorphize Christ. 

There were many kicks, blows and murders at the early Church councils where
scriptures were edited and selected. Those who abided by the true writings
of Matthew were chastised and humiliated.

The Church Fathers resorted to falsification of their scriptures.

The Gospel of John was written by a Greek Platonist, a non-Jew, the name
being a forgery.


PAUL

There is little of Paul left in the writings attributed to him. He was a
brave, honest and sincere man who believed not in a personal Christ, but in
a nonanthropomorphic abstract Christ ideal. Paul was a profoundly learned
scholar and high initiate. He had never met Jesus. He was converted solely
on metaphysical philosophy and belonged to the same mystery school as Jesus,
analogous to an ancient Masonic Lodge. Thus Paul calls himself a "Master
Builder," a code name of rank in the secret schools then and still used in
Masonry today. 

Paul was hated and persecuted by Peter, the John of Revelation and James.
John was a Jewish Kabalist, with much inherent hatred of Greek mysteries.
Paul's profound Greek learning had humiliated him and he considered that
Paul was polluted because of his nonkosher, but superior Greek wisdom.
After Paul's death, both Peter and John, who wore the headdress of the
Jewish high priests and their petaloon trousers, zealously resumed preaching
the rite of circumcision, an exclusively Jewish covenant that Paul had
discarded. Peter was a Jewish Kabalist and not an initiate.

Such men as Irenaeus[5], Epiphanius and Eusebius[6] have transmitted to
posterity a reputation for such untruth and dishonest practices that the
heart sickens at the story of their crimes of that period. The whole
Christian scheme rests upon their sayings.


THE SORTES SANCTORUM

We must not forget that the Christian Church owes its present Gospels and
its dogmatism to the Sortes Sanctorum. Unable to agree as to which were the
most divinely inspired of the numerous gospels of the time, the mysterious
Council of Nicea [7] concluded to leave the decision to miraculous
intervention. There were 318 bishops in the council and they were a set of
illiterate, simple creatures that understood nothing, according to Sabinus,
which is equivalent to saying that they were a set of fools. 

Pappus [8] tells of the bit of magic resorted to, to decide which were the
true gospels. In his Synodicon to the council Pappus says:

"having promiscuously put all the books that were referred to the Council
for determination under a communiontable in a church, the bishops besought
the Lord that the inspired writings might get upon the table, while the
spurious ones remained underneath, and it happened accordingly." 

But we are not told who kept the keys of the council chamber overnight! 

The Christian world owes its "Word of God" to a method of divination, for
which the Church later would burn thousands at the stake. In treating of
this phenomenon of the selfsorting manuscripts, the Fathers of the Church
say that God himself presides over the Sortes. 

St. Augustine confessed to using divination by lots, but never for a worldly
purpose. The Fathers found authority for the Sortes in the verse where itis
said "the lot is cast into the lap, but the whole disposing thereof is of
the Lord." Proverbs 16:33. They later reversed themselves to say that
divination was wholly disposed by the Devil. IU II 251

The following letter written by Saint Gregory [9] of Nazianzen, one of the
most respected Church Fathers, to Saint Jerome, shows what posterity got
instead of the truth: 

"Nothing can impose better on a people than verbiage; the less they
understand, the more they admire. Our fathers and doctors have often said,
not what they thought, but what circumstances and necessity forced them to
say." IU II 183

----------------------------------

SAINT GREGORY , consecrated a bishop c.371. He played a leading role at the
first Council of Constantinople. His development of terminology helped to
clarify the language of Nicaea and lay the foundation for the debates of the
5th-century ecumenical councils.
