THE TRUTH ABOUT THE BIBLE

For all>>> What the authors present in the article below, are the technical views presented to today’s misguided Christians about the Bible; views that only lead to the confusion about its status. We cannot assume, as the authors have done, that those “who come from a Judeo-Christian background” do  not have the common misconceptions about what the Bible really is; as do those who have not been Christian in their background. For, in using the term “Judeo-Christian” the implication rises, that Babylonian Talmudic Judaism sourced Christianity and that Christians owe that alien element of humanity a debt, because “Jesus was a Jew” : a serious mistake, as the words of Jesus Himself about the Jews show that He had no affinity to or for the Jews.. Further, His mother, was of the lineage of the House of David, not of the Jew, who as a type of People, did not come into existence until nearly 450 years after the establishing of the House of David. We can see from His words in Revelation 2:9 & 3:9 the exposure of those, even today, whom He terms as “false Jews”, whose synagogue is that of the Adversaries to Christianity.

For it is clear that many of today’s Christians as well as those who are not, have been led down paths of confusion, and by clever alien tactics antithetical to Christianity and Jesus, and have made the Bible a maze of confusion to some, unable to spiritually “digest” even part of its contents. Especially as to ‘who’ it is that the Bible is addressing and Divinely focused upon in its historical and its prophetic aspects-as most Christians are now instructed that it is the “Church”, a nebulous structure which inherits the future and thus becomes the focus of the anticipated coming “Restoration” – that of Israel, and that any literal references to the principle People of the Bible’s history, the Israelites, are not to be considered real or taken literally!

Advised that these Sheep had “disappeared” years ago, and are no longer recognized — yet the Bible tells us otherwise, as much of its content focuses on an anticipated restoration of His chosen people in the coming Kingdom, a “National” salvation of a nation which rises up with the restoration of the ancient Tribes/nations of Israel. While they are still biblically denoted as the “lost Sheep of the House of Israel”, both the Catholic Church and the Talmudists are intent on keeping them “lost”, lest this most important element of humanity; of the Bible and history, re­-emerge and appear as is Divinely prophesied. But despite their machinations, they cannot halt the progress of the Restoration of Israel.

While personal salvation is critical  to the future life of individuals, and this change of heart necessary, the Bible’s focus is mainly on the need for a ‘National change’, the plea which God Himself makes; and is always addressed to the hope that ‘My  people’,  will have a change of heart and  humble  themselves,  and turn from their wicked  ways.  Read  II  Chronicles 7:14 to see His plea and promises.. They are  addressed  to “My People.” It is of particular interest to note what He says about His chosen as seen  in  the  eyes of  the  rest of the world:

“And all the people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord, and they shall be afraid of thee.” (Deuteronomy 28:10)

Thus, despite these words that announce the literal restoration of His Chosen, those with whom He  met and “dined ” with in person at Mt. Sinai, (Exodus 24:9-10) where they agreed in unison to abide His laws-they eventually failed to follow what they had agreed to at Mt. Sinai and were sent into a 2,520 year long captivity. All twelve tribes, including most of the nation/tribe of Judah!

Thus, in today’s Talmudically influenced , Christian world, Christians are to be understood and considered as being “spiritual Israelites”, achieving such status by adopting a “born-again” condition, a term that ignores the original meaning of Jesus ‘ words in John 3:3 which refer to being “born from above”, a very different conclusion or understanding for what is necessary to “. . . see the Kingdom of God.” The phrase, “Born again” has become the mantra for easily sliding into today’s “Christianity” and is an interpretation that becomes enabling of any and all of humanity to qualify for the Covenant Promises made therein, promises that were however, solely to those born of the water and of the Spirit from above. He clarifies this issue in more detail in John 3:6:

“That which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the Spirit (born from above), is Spirit.”

As Jesus words speak about birth and origins, it must be assumed that His words also consider human genetic features, of those whose origins came via those formed solely by the actions of God Himself; them Adamites – they being the only ones who possessed “the breath of life blown into their nostrils and became living souls .” Those depicted in Genesis 2, Adam and Eve, et.al, who subsequently disappointed God such that He regretted having made man in His likeness, due to their comingling and intermarrying with the ‘daughters of men’ as noted in Genesis 6:2 and the fact that

“the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every imagination  of the thoughts  of his heart was only evil continually, and it repented the Lord that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart.” (Genesis.6:5-6)

This genetic merging of the progeny of Adam with those whom the Elohiym had created in Genesis 1, the “man and woman”, led to the adulteration of Adamite lineage. In His anger, he stated:

” .. I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth: both man and beast, … .for it repenteth Me that I have made them.” (Genesis 6:7)

It is important to note that these verses in which God is speaking, are all in the First person, Singular, indicating that He seemed to be blaming Himself for having “made man on the earth,” those who were given after the creations by the Elohiym in Genesis 1, that unique gift, the ‘breath of life’, which then was to have been considered as eternal, as these humans became “living souls.” Fortunately, however, for those in whom this Spirit given to Adam was retained, and as carried along in the lineage of Noah and family; those in whom the purity of genetic qualities as demanded by God were retained;  Noah  being “pure in his generations.”

 Thus we see the establishing of the lineage of those who Were and Are, Adamic in origin and who then those who subsequently  came  from  the  genetic  line  of the Hebrew semite, Abraham and his immediate progen Isaac and his grandson Jacob /Israel — whose 12 sons became the Israelite tribes/nations on whom Divine attention became solely focused . A lineage that can be easil y proven by a number of specific verses in both the Old and New Testaments, words spoken by God as well as the confirming words of Jesus.

Over the ages, as the Bible went through its many translations, its Old Testament coming from an ancient Hebrew language translated into koine Greek (The Septuagint or LXX) around 285 B.C. and then into Latin for the Catholic Church, taken from both the early Greek and scattered old Hebrew bits and pieces, and then back into a new Hebrew language under the tutelage of talmudic scholars called the Masoretes, who Iabored from around 500 A.D. into 913 A.D. when they presented the Pope with their newly created Hebrew language Old Testament-which remains as the common OT in use today, including that of the King James Version.

The Hebrew language O.T. version created by the Masoretes was modern, in that its structure and grammar were not the same as had been in the older Hebrew that led to the preparation of the Septuagint/ LXX version, i.e., the original Hebrew never applied vowels. And the Masoretes in their version, omitted much of what is contained in the Septuagint, and changed many original words and verses to accommodate views prevalent within Babylonian Talmudic Judaism. Where the early, growing Christian church had readily adopted the Septugint; Jesus and His disciples using and quoting from it; the Jews of the day began to decry its use after losing arguments with Christians over its content; Jews vehemently critical of its depictions of Jewish activities regarding the crucifixion and the promotion of Jesus as the Messiah. The Jewish view of a Messiah does not look to an individual to arrive and restore what they assume is their rightful status, as the Jews themselves, consider that they are their own messiah.

When the several English language Bible versions began to emerge following the Reformation, the English language used over the ages, was also subject to changes in word meanings over the ages, but a more critical problem arises from a lack of multiple word options in English language for several critical key words as is found in both the Greek and Hebrew – key words which all have but one English word. There are 5 or more distinctly different Key words in the original languages. This fact is especially pronounced when several of these Key biblical words were translated into English (and other languages) and then resulted in arguments and divisions over doctrinal issues that are still a problem within the Christian world. And the resultant promotion of Universalism and multiculturalism and diversity, which are basic themes of the Catholic Church and many Christian churches today.

Those Key words such as Gentile, Stranger, World/ Earth, Eon/Age, etc, have multiple meanings and distinctly separate words to depict differences among and within those mentioned, in both Hebrew and Greek languages. At least 7 different and separate Hebrew words were applied to the varieties or types of “Stranger(s)” with whom the Biblical Israelites would be confronted or contend with, words that recognized that some “aliens” are/were genetic kinsmen while others of other races and tribes were alien and forbidden association, especially in religious functions. Similarly in the Greek language, more than 7 distinctly different words were used to typify or characterize a particular stranger, and again, some of those who lacked genetic kinship, the “mixed multitude,” were Divinely forbidden as associates in religious and social functions. (See Nehemiah 9:2 & 13:3)

The problem which arises from the skewed translations of these various Hebrew and Greek words for a ‘stranger’ when translated into English; we find that one word, the single English word, “Stranger” broadly applied; English having no unique words to depict strangers by their status or relationship to Christians. Thus the English word Stranger that was used, became all-encompassing in its application: whereas the original Hebrew source from which it was taken, might have and often did, use a word that prohibited mutual association. Leading to a doctrinal view, and change, that implied a biblical Universalism that was never intended. And, it led to the rampant promotion of Multiculturalism by that active minority, the Jews, forever seeking to gain strength by collaboration with other minorities, whose Talmudic programs have always been adverse to Christian views. Similarly, the Latin word, Gentilis, contrived by the two adversarial Churches, has been used to also skew the historic facts related to the Biblical Lost sheep of the House of Israel as the single word Goy/Goyim has been translated into a number of other words in the Old Testament where it appears 557 times. It has been translated into the following words: Nation(s) 373 times, into Heathen…… 142 times, into Gentiles     30 times, to People…..11 times, to Another—-1 time  but into non-Jew…..0 times. Thus is should be apparent that our OT texts have been skewed such that all references to the lost sheep of Israel are cloaked by deceptive translations.

Similarly, in the New Testament, the Greek word “ethnos”, meaning, a “race, i.e., a tribe has also gone through its convoluted and misrepresentation of people. The word “ethnos” occurs 164 times in the New Testament, and it too, has also suffered at the hands of the translators. It has been translated into Gentile(s) …..93 times, into Nation(s)     64 times, into Heathen …..5 times, into People 2 times and into Non-Jew …..0 times. Again, cloaking and misguiding the association the word has with the 12 tribes of Israel. Not once did the translators use “race” or “tribe”, yet that is how “ethnos” is defined.

A study of the word Gentile as used in the Bible refers to the impact of such deviancy by the translators.

“Changes in word meanings can have a profound effect upon all forms of learning and identification of various peoples within the Bible. Theology can be affected to the extent that gross revisions can occur, completely changing the original writers intent and proper identification of those to whom he is addressing or speaking about.”

 “The Greek word Ethnos means any group of people of the same race or nationality who share a common and distinctive culture. It should be translated as “Nation” rather than “Gentile”. Also, the Greek word “Hellen” means “Greek” and should have been thus translated instead of Gentile. Consistency in translation would have prevented confusion.”

 But then that third congregation of People, biblically separate from both the Catholic Church and Babylonian Talmudic Judaism and cloaked and disguised by purposeful mistranslations, might just become recognized and emerge, bursting onto the world scene, just as is prophetically anticipated. The Restoration and the re-establishing of His Kingdom, for which we all pray, as is found in His prayer to Our Father-Thy Kingdom Come!

Again, lets consider the conclusion to  that study on the word Gentile:

“Most Christians today are victims of error. They’ve been taught that the people of the world are divided into two exclusive racial categories: 1. Jews, and 2. Gentiles. Christians, there is not one shred of evidence in the Holy Bible to support that myth! It is error; a false dichotomy that has confused English-speaking Christians for centuries. If you’ve been taught that you are a “gentile” and therefore a “non-Hebrew”, you too have been deceived! Strangely enough, most Christians are racial Hebrews and most Jews are not!

 “To neutralize Christians, our enemies only need to twist the meanings of key words in our Bibles. The prudent Bible student will carefully research and examine these words, especially when establishing doctrine.

“Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (discerning) the word of truth.” H(II Timothy 2:15)

Thus it is imperative that the Key words in your Bible must be understood as having been confused by the Translators, by Theologians and by the Evolution of the English language especially when the word Jew is mistakenly applied to the original word which was either Judean, Judahite or Israelite or, in a number of instances , the Bible at times, identifies these Hebrew Israelites as Jacob, as Ephraim, as Joseph or Manassah; tribal names of the predominant Hebrew tribes that the Bible identifies over the ages as being responsible at select times for leadership and guidance and/or, admonishment or punishment.

An accurate understanding of the word meanings is essential for interpreting the Scripures. Much confusion exists within Christiandom today due to the lack of accuracy on the part of both translators and Bible students with respect to the meanings and usages of Key words. Changes in word meanings do have a profound impact on all Bible studies and learning.
