Fallacies of Religious Texts
It is well recorded that the Bible as we know it was compiled and edited and new letters invented for it in the 1600’s and the first printing press. When researching the history of the Bible and what it says there are a lot of contradictions. When the printed Bible was first published most people thought it to be an evil book written by the Devil. Not because of its content, but because of how people misinterpreted it, then and now. People take those misinterpretations and again edit them then publish them in new versions of the Bible, changing what the original said.
The original texts, if any really exist are only fragments, humans had guess and to fill in the rest, hence so many misinterpretations and creative fiction add ons. Many of those interpreters had no idea of the culture and customs they were talking about to put anything into context. Even worse is that most all of those fragments are fakes made to look and chemically be old and stored in non museum conditions that contaminate any and all testing. Fake religious texts, relics, and sites and archeology itself have always been a huge tourism market for thousands of years, not just the last few centuries.
When I was a teen growing up in Australia in the 1970’s I went to church youth group and socials and collected different kinds of Bibles. My family have a history of building churches in Australia and a few other places. We also have a few priests in the family history, one being a favorite of Queen Elizabeth of England. I was told that the Bible was the "Word of God" but early on I figured out the Bible was the work of Man, because I saw the different interpretations saying different things in different Bibles.
I believe in God as a higher power, but not like modern interpretations of the Bible say. The real concept of God and community, and as the Bible originally asks us to practice is an allegory in monarchist socialism. What the Bible has been interpreted into as a religion, at least from what I've found, depends on the interpretation, organized religion is all political.
- Catholicism it is the Roman Empire rebranded.
- Church of England it is the Commonwealth Empire.
- Judaism it is the Hebrew Empire.
- Islam the Islamic Empire.
- Russia, Russian orthodox and a socialist/monarchist Empire.
And not only Christianity…
- USA is not socialist, but it has an elected monarchy, is Bible Christian and an Empire.
- China is socialist and an elected monarchy, primarily Buddhist. Buddhism was founded by monarchies as Christianity was.
- India, primarily Hindu, is many different monarchies but one elected overall monarch/emperor. Hinduism was founded by monarchies as Christianity was.
All that says to me is that man's interpretations of ancient religious texts are political propaganda. "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's" etc.
As to monarchy, that comes under the socialism thing and socialism and monarchy are also gravely misinterpreted, due to badly researched Hollywood movies. A monarch's duty is to her people to make sure they are sheltered and fed and protected. To understand the real Holy Grail story you have to understand monarchy and royalty and what they really are. Forget what so-called "liberals" and Hollywood say, that is just more political propaganda, they only repeat stories about a very few bad eggs. There were and are many more good eggs, including amazing women, and their stories are very inspiring.
These are some other peoples’ research of some of the items that have popped up in my research. I’ve included links for you to do your own research, if you haven’t already. To me it throws a lot of authors’ usually accepted research out the window. It was also surprisingly easy to find, which was eye opening.
Hebrew Bible is a Modern Work
The earliest and most complete version of the Hebrew Bible was from the 9th century. Also most of the Dead Sea Scrolls fragments in museums and private collections today are fake, so cannot be used for research. I mean there can only be so many fragments, let’s be real. https://www.cnn.com/2017/11/17/us/bible-museum-fakes/index.html
First Testament Contradicts Itself
The Humanist movement who also study the Bible have found many contradictions in the First Testament. https://americanhumanist.org/what-is-humanism/reasons-humanists-reject-bible/
Josephus’ Writings on Jesus Are Fakes
The original writings don’t mention Jesus at all, according to multiple experts who have studied the parchments first hand. http://www.truthbeknown.com/josephus.htm
Gospels Were Not Written First Hand
According to scholars who have seen the parchments first hand, the First Testament gospels were not written until 40 or so years after Jesus’ supposed death. In my research I found the date to be 42 years, coded into a painting by Leonardo Da Vinci, to follow the true historical timeline of the First Testament. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/religion/story/mmfour.html
Josephus Mathematics Copied by the Templars
Josephus is an interesting character, while his existence is not in question, his origins are. I believe he was not Jewish by blood, but by ritual. This is due to his royal rank and why he wasn’t executed along with Hebrew activists. “After the Jewish garrison of Yodfat fell under siege, the Romans invaded, killing thousands; the survivors committed suicide. According to Josephus, he was trapped in a cave with 40 of his companions in July 67 CE. The Romans (commanded by Flavius Vespasian and his son Titus, both subsequently Roman emperors) asked the group to surrender, but they refused. Josephus suggested a method of collective suicide;[20] they drew lots and killed each other, one by one, counting to every third person. Two men were left (this method as a mathematical problem is referred to as the Josephus problem, or Roman roulette),[21] who surrendered to the Roman forces and became prisoners. In 69 CE, Josephus was released.[22] According to his account, he acted as a negotiator with the defenders during the Siege of Jerusalem in 70 CE, in which his parents and first wife died.“ Note the numbers 40 and 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephus
Son of God Was a Legal Title
The person who’s legal royal title was Son of God 2000 years ago in Jerusalem and in Rome was Titus. This can be verified with a simple web search and for me led to a whole slew of lost history materializing in connections from my scattered notes. The histories of the individual people and happenings are recorded in history books and even on wikipedia, but jumbled into separate stories, so to the general public seem unconnected. http://www.city-data.com/forum/christianity/2421626-god-father-god-son-actually-roman.html
The Hebrews Copied a Lot of Other Cultures
That King David and the Bible were originally Hebrew, is in question. It's in the symbols and royal heraldry on churches and artifacts. Hebrews have a tradition of claiming stuff not their own, including belief systems and cultures, gods, goddesses, histories, and even royalty. It's in the Bible and joked about in some rare banned comedy TV skits pre 1980's AD.
The Hebrew Bible is Copied From Multiple Other Religions
The Hebrews claimed they originated many gods, religions, and customs, but modern scholars are finding otherwise. “A lot of the stories in the Old Testament are in fact plagiarized material, particularly from the rich mythical heritage of the Sumerians – the inventors of writing. The story of Noah and the flood story, the creation of man out of clay, Cain and Abel, the gardens of Eden, the tree of knowledge, creation of Eve from Adams rib, and numerous other myths, like the throwing of Moses in the river after he was born, are all but stories found recorded on Sumerian clay tablets dating 5000 years back in time” https://ashraf62.wordpress.com/2012/08/19/hebrew-bible-plagiarized-mythology-and-defaced-monotheism/ . The ancient Hebrews were nomads who’d travel to different places to live for a few generations and it was part of their culture to adopt other cultures and gods to fit in to survive. It is possible they once were a sea faring nation, living on the seas full time, because their earliest known original god, Ashera, was a Goddess of the sea and wife of Yahweh according to the Book of Kings. https://www.seeker.com/gods-wife-edited-out-of-the-bible-almost-1766083399.html
The Bible Warns About Judaizing of Christianity
“The Epistle to Titus is a book of the New Testament, one of the three so-called "pastoral epistles" (with 1 Timothy and 2 Timothy). It is offered as a letter from Paul to Paul's spiritual son Titus, whom Paul has ordered to remain in Crete to appoint "elders" of the church there. The writer is concerned that such men be of good character and capable of teaching sound doctrine. They must especially be on guard against a Judaizing heresy which teaches Christians that they should be faithful to certain of the Jewish purity laws. In opposition, the writer famously tells Titus that, "to the pure, all things are pure." (Titus 1:15)” http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Epistle_to_Titus
Hebrew Gods Were the Canaanite Gods
The original Hebrew society was matriarch and their original god was the mother of all gods who was Ashera, mother and queen consort to the gods Anu and Yahweh and mother and mistress of the God Baal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asherah
Ritual Bathing From Egyptians
All middle Eastern and Mediterranean and Hindu religions had and still have bathing and baptism rituals. The practice was more practical than spiritual, because heat breads disease. The symbology of water is that we as organic chemical lifeforms came from water. We were originally fish, or dolphins, which is why the fish symbology in religion and in Catholic cardinal hats.
Passover From Canaanites
Originally it was to stop the rains, because there were once annual rains that flooded various areas of Northern Africa, which would explain the water damage on and around the Great Sphinx in Egypt. Maybe the modern Jewish Passover is bringing the dry weather. https://www.haaretz.com/jewish/.premium-passover-canaanite-ritual-to-stop-rain-1.5345675
Circumcision From Egyptian Royals
It was a symbol of royal status carried on in the UK until the late 20th century AD. Hebrews adopted circumcision to raise their social status. “The first-recorded circumcision happened in Egypt As far as we know from the historical record, the land of the pharaohs pioneered circumcision. The earliest reference to the procedure dates back to around 2400 B.C.” https://www.seeker.com/5-things-you-didnt-know-about-circumcision-1765941565.html
Ark of the Covenant From Egyptians
The Ark is well record in ancient Egyptian reliefs as an Egyptian sacred object. “The best non-Israelite parallel to the Ark of the Covenant comes not from Mesopotamia or Arabia, but from Egypt. The sacred bark was a ritual object deeply embedded in the Egyptian ritual and mythological landscapes. It was carried aloft in processions or pulled in a sledge or a wagon; its purpose was to transport a god or a mummy and sometimes to dispense oracles. The Israelite conception of the Ark probably originated under Egyptian influence in the Late Bronze Age.” The Ark of the Covenant didn't belong to the Hebrews. Titus most likely returned the Ark to its rightful royal heirs to boost international trade with Egypt and access to Africa and the Red Sea. Egypt was Europe’s largest supplier of grain, cotton, and other necessities and luxuries of the day, as well as the legal gateway to the African continent. http://faculty.washington.edu/snoegel/PDFs/articles/noegel-ark-2015.pdf
Blood Sacrifice from the Canaanites
The Canaanites practiced blood sacrifice and child sacrifice, which the Hebrews adopted and practiced in the Bible https://www.thattheworldmayknow.com/fertility-cults-of-canaan
Jewish Doctrines Preach Violence
The festival of Purim is famously violent and they are programed to it by throwback or misinterpreted scriptures. It is this Hebrew/Jewish custom of violence and blood sacrifice that Vespasian and his son Titus were enlisted by Rome to wipe out. It was accomplished by destroying the Hebrews’ most sacred temple and city and confiscating their scriptures, relics, and idols. Maybe bringing the dry weather is a way to sacrifice the whole world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaism_and_violence. https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=124494788
In summary, any kind of Bible or scripture or Holy Grail research claiming the Hebrews originated anything has not been researched enough. Every one of them comes to a dead end. True stories don’t have dead ends. If we open our minds and simply research it from a different angle we find everything Hebrew originated in other cultures and religions. This is not a Hebrew conspiracy, it is simply their cultural tradition. It is up to us to do our research properly to decode the true origins of what the Hebrews copied.
