I have a really hard time believing that it was the disciples of Jesus.
The church has never taught the true message that Jesus was teaching to the disciples and the masses of people. The only conclusion that makes any sense is that the Catholic Church is a duel church.
We know that the Catholic Church has what is called a “White Pope” and a “Black Pope”.
In simple terms this must mean that there is the public and the hidden agendas of the church. The public view is in charge of false teachings, brainwashing and misleading of the people. The hidden agendas of the church that, “the good Catholic common folk” have no idea exist, under the outward "cover” of the church, is all evil. Up until Jesus time in the ancient writings there is a flood of information on the Scribes and Pharisees.
After Jesus left they quickly disappeared and the Holy Roman Catholic Church appeared, suddenly. Could it be that the Jewish Scribes and Pharisees are the ones that really created the Catholic Church just to control the people to prevent them from evolving with the teachings that Jesus brought to earth. It is now known from the angles that are communicating with man that Jesus disciples and some followers were able to do the same miracles that Jesus could do.
There are even people that ascended the same as Jesus. Refer to “The Apotheosis Project.”
No government, nor church can control people that are limitless and can manifest
anything, food, water, clothing and shelter with a focused thought. That is why
a corrupt church and government work well together because together they have
for 2000 years systematically killed off everyone that they thought was remotely
close to practicing Jesus’ teachings like the group known as the “Albigensians”.
It is the “Jewish Khazars” that are pushing the corruptness and complete annihilation of the 12 lost tribes the Gentiles as the Talmud refers to them. As for our United States government, the “Khazar Jews” have been systematically for the last 25 years scarfing up every position in congress. After studying the Talmud and the Kabbalah and the doctrines of the llluminati it is easy to understand why our government is writing laws of such “Atrocity Levels” to be used on the unsuspecting Anglo-American citizens.
The “Christian” religions sprang (obviously) out of the life of Jesus,
and from the subsequent activities of his disciples.
From the times of the earliest writings that are today formed into the compendium colloquially known as the Bible, there were many forms of this so-called Christian religion, and they did not always agree with each other, even down to such fundamentals as to who (or what) Jesus really was, as well as to how their various religious rituals were to be practiced, and how their doctrines (and dogmas) were to be disseminated.
The Romans sacked Jerusalem in A.D. 70, and most of the writings concerning these “Christian” religions were lost.
What today survives to form the current Bible’s New Testament was written, at the earliest, from between the years of 65 A.D. to around 100 A. D., about 32 to 67 years after the crucifixion. The majority of the “Christian” writings, or, at least the religious writings of the time which did survive, with the obvious exception of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nag Hammadi Scripts, ended up in the hands of the Roman Catholic church, and it made use of those writings to its greatest advantage.
From its lowly start the Roman Catholic church grew and developed, influencing
members of the Roman Senate and the rulers of other neighboring lands to such an
extent that Rome itself gave over a significant part of Rome to the Church,
which part of the old city is still to this day a separate and autonomous, tax
free State within the boundaries of the City of Rome, in the country of Italy,
called and known as Vatican City.
Around 250 A.D. the Roman Catholic Church emerged as the biggest and most powerful organized “Christian” religion.
It began to infiltrate and destroy, or overcome, and absorb, the many and variegated “Christian” sects and religious organizations, and also began trying to eradicate some of the more ancient religious beliefs, mainly through the “re-education” of the proponents of such religions, or through the destruction or the confiscation and subsequent hiding of ancient “biblical texts” and other religious and historical manuscripts.
In the fourth Century, the roman Emperor virtually re-wrote both the bible and
the “laws” of the Roman Catholic church, and the basic tenets, doctrines and
philosophies of the Roman Catholic Church still to this day reflect his
beliefs, namely,
that God is a being that is outside of each human being,
that only the 70 Grace of God could change a person’s sinful ways, and that only certain people would be chosen by God to be given that particular dispensation, and that
people could only be considered to receive this divine Grace if they were a member of the Roman Catholic Church and received the sacraments.
Anyone who was not with the Church had to be against it.
To ensure the growth of the Church, it embarked upon a campaign against people
and countries which was to continue, on and off, and in many forms, for many
centuries.
Anyone who did not belong to the Roman Catholic church and who did not conform
to the tenets and edicts of the Roman Catholic church could be accused of
heresy. The charge of “Heresy” or of being a “heretic” could be leveled against
anyone from noble to serf.
The doctrines of the Catholic Church were regarded as God’s Law, and therefore formed the basis of Man’s Law. and therefore the charge of heresy was a charge leveled not only by the Church, as a charge that the individual’s beliefs did not conform with the doctrines of the Church, and therefore God, but also it was a charge of criminal activities or even treason against the State, and the poor wretch had to answer to both.
Even the lowly priest had to be careful, he, more than anyone, as a member of the Church, had to conform or suffer the same consequences. Thus the Roman Catholic church acted not only as “God’s police force”, but also as the police force of the State, and, in most places, the Country. All of these “ministrations” of the Roman Catholic Church, being presided over by the careful and watchful eye of the presiding Church dignitary, depending upon the jurisdiction, from a bishop or cardinal up through the ranks of the Church to the Pope himself.
By the eleventh century their main objective was realized in that almost
everybody in the “civilized world” generally was either
ignorant as to the prior existence of any form of Christian religion other than the Roman Catholic Church, or
was too afraid to enter into any form of private discussion of the matter of other religions, leave alone start a public debate or argument about it.
The Crusades changed all that.
The Crusades
The official reason of the time as to why the first Crusade to the Holy Land was
undertaken is that as a result of the interference with travelers and pilgrims
by the Turks, and the fact that the Islamic Turks were in the “Holy Land” at
all.
Pope Urban II, in a council of churchmen and noblemen at Clermont, France, in 1095, called for good (Roman Catholic) Christians to rescue the Holy Land from the clutches of the barbarous Turks, priests took up the cause, spreading the message through their Churches and thousands of “good Christian people” volunteered to fight and die for the Roman Catholic cause.
The first Crusade of 1096, was led by the Norman Knights, Godfrey de
Bouillon, Count Robert of Flanders, Count Raymond of Toulouse, Bohemund. etc.,
etc... These Knights eventually conquered Jerusalem, and caused Godfrey de
Bouillon to be “crowned” as head of the newly created (and re-liberated) Kingdom
of Jerusalem.
Of these Norman Knights, Godfrey de Bouillon could trace and prove his lineage and ancestry directly back to King Merovee, patriarch of the Merovingian Dynasty of French Kings, and one of the first Kings of France (the Franks) in 417 A.D..
The reasons as to why these particular Knights went to the Holy Land is still
somewhat obscure.
But for the purposes of this chapter, suffice it to say, for the moment, that the scrolls discovered amidst the caves at Qumran, near the Dead Sea in 1947, and, more particularly the copper scrolls discovered thereafter, along with the known travels of Joseph of Aramathea and Mary Magdalene after the crucifixion, may give the astute researcher several hints as to how this Crusade alone returned from the holy land with “great treasures and knowledge and wealth”, while thousands of participants in the subsequent Crusades died, either while trying to get to the holy land, or at the hands of the Turks when they got there, or while trying to escape back to their homelands and more particularly the clues as to why subsequent Crusades were nowhere near as “successful”.
In 1187, the Turks recaptured Jerusalem, prompting the third Crusade which was to take King Richard into the “holy land”, leaving Prince John in charge (on the English Throne) and which also caused the creation and the signing of the Magna Carta.
Part of the “Knowledge” brought back from the Holy Land by the first and
subsequent Crusades was to eventually trickle down to the general public and
would seriously challenge and undermine the religious 71 authority of the Roman
Catholic Church.
Knowledge and, above that, proof, came down to the masses that there had, indeed, been all kinds of “Christian” religions, and the Roman Catholic Church had not been the only one.
The “Pagan” Religions
When the Romans, under Julius Caesar, conquered Europe. France and
England (between 58 and 54 B.C.), they found various cultures which had. for
more than a thousand years, practiced a so-called “pagan” types of astrological
religion, worshipping Sun, Moon, Stars and Earth.
The Gauls and Celts were predominantly farmers, relying on such astrological calendars as Stonehenge and other Pre-civilization monoliths and burial grounds which were strewn all around France and England to tell them when to plant and sow and reap their harvest. Which just is not the truth about these objects but. the pagan religions thus practiced in this way a life and means of survival.
Given that the Roman religion itself was based on the worship of multiple
Gods, the old pagan religions of the European theater did not pose much of a
threat, and the two types of religion cohabited in harmony, until the advent of
the Roman Catholic Church, and the new knowledge gleaned from the
Crusades.
Religious persecution
At the beginning of the twelfth century, the “Dark Ages” or “Inquisition”
began in Europe and in 1215, with their new found freedom granted by the Magna
Carta, the Church started a new type of program closely allied to the
inquisition, but with a new twist.
The focus was still mainly on heretics, but now the net broadened to include those members of the general populace who had any direct or indirect knowledge of an “old Pagan” pre-Christian religion as well as the more modernistic persons who practiced or preached any of the new Christian (non-Catholic) religions.
Thus began the era of the “Witch
Hunts”, or the “Dark Ages”.
The Witch Hunts
This was an age reigned over by the
terror of the Roman Catholic Church which was to last more than
two hundred years.
The Roman Catholic Church declared that any one who was still practicing any “old” religion had to be working for Satan and was. therefore, either a witch, or a warlock. The same accusation as had been leveled for centuries were again leveled from nobleman to serf, but this time the accusation was not heresy, but that of being a witch (female), or warlock (male).
Some very nasty trials and horrible tortures were devised to fine out if an
accused “Witch” or “Warlock” was engaged in the “pagan practice of the devil’s
work”. To be merely accused as a witch or warlock was quite literally the
signing of your death warrant, and all done in the name of God, the Holy
Roman Church, the King, the Country and, of course, for the “salvation” of the
people from eternal damnation (of not belonging to the Roman Catholic church,
and/or the learning of the truth?).
Don’t you know the truth will set you free really! And the church could not have that.
A group of men, headed by the “Witch finder”, usually a self proclaimed expert
or dignitary of the church, and the local Baron or Earl would ride into a
village and announce a “witch hunt”, and they had some very bizarre ways of
finding a “witch” or “Warlock”.
Torture
In many cases, this self appointed inquisition would single out two or three of
the persons of the village, or even their own priest, who would be questioned
(and even tortured and maimed) in order to find out which members of the village
would be most likely to be found to be a witch or heretic.
Some horrific systems and instruments of torture were devised specifically for this “religious trial”.
Inevitably, someone, while being tortured, would
scream the name of one, if not several of their friends and neighbors who the
inquisition could then question (and torture) and subsequently find to be a
witch or heretic.
Victims
anyone who was thought to be a little abnormal (mentally retarded or “touched”) or just a little strange,
if someone in the village simply didn’t like you,
or an old maid or widow who lived alone and practiced herbal remedies,
a particularly beautiful young woman who was thought to have the power to “bewitch” the young men of the village,
anyone with a birthmark or freckles,
anyone who was crippled from birth by a strange disease (Spina bifida, polio, downs syndrome etc.,),
or who had a strange disease or malady (leprosy, epilepsy),
or was known to have an animal (a black cat or dog) which could be a “familiar”,
even someone who just showed they were “too scared” of the witch finder,
...everybody could be accused of being possessed, bewitched, or of being of an old “Pagan” faith, and would be subjected to the three specific tests of the trial.
The Trial
The first thing that would happen was that the accused unfortunates would be
brought out into the village square and the whole village population would have
to witness the “witch bane”.
One by one the accused would be stripped naked, placed on a special table, and subjected to a most intimate and undignified search, the object of which was to find the “mark of the devil” this mark could be a wound scar, a birthmark, a mole, or a spot or pimple.
Test 1
When a mark was found, and one usually was, the accused would then have to undergo the test of the bodkin. This was a needle approximately twelve inches long which would be stuck into the unfortunate victim in and around the devil’s mark. If the victim did not feel the needle, or the puncture did not bleed, then he or she was definitely a witch.
Some of these needles were in a sliding handle, so the witch finder could make it look like the needle was going into the victim when it was not, and the people would declare her a witch at once. A little pressure could be applied to the exit wound so that it did not bleed, automatically he or she was a witch. There were many tricks to the witch finder’s trade, and he rarely left a village without killing two or three people.
When, the victim had been declared a witch, the witch finder, as per the victims “constitutional rights”, had to conduct a proper trial. The jury was the whole village. The prosecution had to find out if the Good Lord would redeem the soul of this unfortunate wretch. The defense was the Good Lord himself.
Test 2
If the village had a village pond, the victim had to go to the “dunking stool”, a device like a child’s see-saw, with a chair tied to one end. The naked victim was tied into the stool and submerged in the freezing water for very long periods of time, up to fifteen minutes, and never for less than three time. If he or she drowned, then the Good Lord had obviously decided to spare his lamb from this torment and had taken his or her soul to himself.
Test 3
When the village was in a hilly area, then the victim was taken to the top of one of the hills, and encased in a barrel, through the outside of which the villagers drove large nails, and the barrel, with the victim now inside, was allowed to roll down the hill. Again, as with the dunking stool, if the victim died, the Good Lord had taken his soul.
If, by some freak of nature, the unfortunate accused survived this torment, then it was obvious that the devil was in her, or him, for no mortal could possibly have endured it.
That was absolute proof of guilt, and the victim was convicted and sentenced.
Sentence
The sentence, in either case, when convicted of being a Witch or
Warlock, has to be burned alive at the stake, and this done in public
in the village square. Either way, to be accused was to die horribly.
Quite obviously, to live in this age was to live in dread and fear of either
mutilation or death at the hands of any of the over zealous “witch finders” of
the day.
By the turn of the fifteenth century, most, but not all of these inquisitions
had fizzled out. Society was, from our modern day standpoint, till in very sick
shape, but even with this type of society England and Europe gradually prospered
and grew more civilized.
When Columbus returned from his 1492 voyage of discovery and told the people of the new world in the West, they started again to dream...
