The foundation of all Christian religions is Jesus Christ as claimed in
the Bibles.

This is a foundation of quick sand.


Behind The Bible Fraud - What Was The Church Trying To Hide?

When I first spoke to a close Christian friend of mine about the
publishing of Tony Bushby's The Bible Fraud, her reaction was one that
many Christians have expressed, and one that made me aghast. She
didn't want the book available because it would "persuade them away
from the Bible and the word of God." Further discussions with her and
many other Christians around the world about The Bible Fraud all
result in the Bible being quoted as the ultimate reference for the
apparent "words of God," and therefore the basis for their arguments.
The problem lies in that they believe the Bible is infallible.

If we examine the oldest known Bible to date, the "Sinai Bible" housed
in the British Museum (I believe that, during his many years of
research, Tony had a private viewing of this priceless book), we find
a staggering 14,800 differences from today's Bible and yet it still
remains the word of God?

As Tony points out, the history of our 'genuine' Bibles is a
convoluted one. Firstly we cannot be sure that we have the full
version as it was originally intended. In 1415 the Church of Rome took
an extraordinary step to destroy all knowledge of two second century
Jewish books that it said contained the true name of Jesus Christ. The
Antipope Benedict XIII firstly singled out for condemnation a secret
Latin treatise called "Mar Yesu" and then issued instructions to
destroy all copies of the book of Elxai. The Rabbinic fraternity once
held the destroyed manuscripts with great reverence for they were
comprehensive original records reporting the life of Rabbi Jesus.

Later, Pope Alexander VI ordered all copies of the Talmud destroyed,
with the Spanish Grand Inquisitor Tomas de Torquemada (1420-98)
responsible for the elimination of 6,000 volumes at Salamanca alone.

Solomon Romano (1554) also burnt many thousands of Hebrew scrolls and,
in 1559, every Hebrew book in the city of Prague was confiscated. The
mass destruction of Jewish books included hundreds of copies of the
Old Testament and caused the irretrievable loss of many original
handwritten documents.

The oldest text of the Old Testament that survived, before the
discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls" was said to be the Bodleian Codex
(Oxford), which was dated to circa 1100 AD. In an attempt by the
church to remove damaging Rabbinic information about Jesus Christ from
the face of the earth, the Inquisition burnt 12,000 volumes of the
Talmud.

In 1607, forty-seven men (some records say fifty four) took two years
and nine months to re-write the Bible and make it ready for press. It
was, by the order of King James, issued with a set of personal 'rules'
the translators were to follow. Upon its completion in 1609, it was
handed over to the King James for his final approval. However, "It was
self evident that James was not competent to check their work and edit
it, so he passed the manuscripts onto the greatest genius of all
time... Sir Francis Bacon"

The first English language manuscripts of the Bible remained in
Bacon's possession for nearly a year. During that time.. "he hammered
the various styles of the translators into the unity, rhythm, and
music of Shakespearean prose, wrote the prefaces and created the whole
scheme of the Authorized Version. At the completion of the editing,
King James ordered a 'dedication to the King' to be drawn up and
included in the opening pages. He also wanted the phrase 'Appointed to
be read in the churches' to appear on the title page.

The King James Bible is considered by many today to be the 'original'
Bible and therefore 'genuine' and all later revisions simply
counterfeits forged by 'higher critics'. Others think the King James
Bible is 'authentic' and 'authorized' and presents the original words
of the authors as translated into English from the 'original' Greek
texts. However, as Tony points out, the 'original' Greek text was not
written until around the mid fourth century and was a revised edition
of writings compiled decades earlier in Aramaic and Hebrew. Those
earlier documents no longer exist and the Bibles we have today are
five linguistic removes from the first bibles written. What was
written in the 'original originals' is quite unknown. It is important
to remember that the words 'authorized' and 'original', as applied to
the Bible do not mean 'genuine', 'authentic' or 'true'.

By the early third century, it became well noted that a problem was
occurring . politics! In 251AD, the number of Presbyter's (roving
orator or priest) writings had increased dramatically and bitter
arguments raged between opposing factions about their conflicting
stories. According to Presbyter Albius Theodoret (circa 255), there
were "more than two hundred" variant gospels in use in his time. In
313, groups of Presbyters and Biscops (Bishops) violently clashed over
the variations in their writings and "altar was set against altar" in
competing for an audience and territory.

When Emperor Constantine conquered the East in 324, he sent his
Spanish religious advisor, Osius of Cordoba, to Alexandria with
letters to several Biscops exhorting them to make peace among their
own. But the mission failed and Constantine, probably at the
suggestions of Osius, then issued a decree commanding all Presbyters
and their subordinates "be mounted on asses, mules and horses
belonging to the public and travel to the city of Nicaea" in the Roman
province of Bithymia, the country of Asia. The Presbyters were
instructed by the Emperor to bring with them the manuscripts from
which they orated to the rabble (that's us!) "wrapped and bound in
leather".

Constantine saw in this developing system of belief the opportunity to
make a combined state religion and protect it by law. The first
general church council was thus convened and the year was 325.

On 21 June, the day of the Summer Solstice, (and under those cult
conditions) a total of 2048 "presbyters, deacons, sub-deacons,
acolytes and exorcists" gathered at Nicaea to decide what Christianity
really was, what it would be, what writings were to be used and who
was to be it's God.

Ancient church evidence established that a new 'god' was to be
approved by the Roman Emperor and an earlier attempt (circa 210) to
deify either Judas Khrestus or his twin brother Rabbi Jesus (or
somebody else) had been 'declined'. Therefore, as late as 325, the
Christian religion did not have an official god.

After a long and bitter debate, a vote was finally taken and it was
with a majority show of hands that Judas Khrestus and Rabbi Jesus both
became God (161votes for and 157 votes against). The Emperor
effectively joined elements of the two individual life stories of the
twin brothers into a singular creation. The doctrine of the Celtic /
British church of the west was democratically attached to the
Presbyters stories of the east.

A deification ceremony was then performed 'Apotheosis'. Thus the
deified ones were then called 'saviours' and looked upon as gods.
Temples, altars, and images with attributes of divinity were then
erected and public holidays proclaimed on their birthdays.

Following the original example set by the deification of Caesar, their
funerals were dramatized as the scene of their resurrection and
immortality. All these godly attributes passed as a legal right to
Emperor Constantine's new deity, Jesus Christ.

The Emperor then instructed Bishop Eusebius to compile a uniform
collection of new writings "bound together as one" using the stories
from the large collection of Presbyters as his reference source.
Eusebius was to arrange for the production of "fifty sumptuous copies
... to be written on parchment in a legible manner, and in a
convenient portable form, by professional scribes thoroughly
accomplished in the art". This was the first mention of finished
copies of a Christian 'New Testament' in the history of mankind
