Dr. Joseph Chiapplaone How it really happened Flashcards
CARD #1: Question: Were the early christians receptive to believing in the Trinity along with the Nicean Creed?
As late as 1897 the Congregation of the Index with the approval of Pope Leo X111 forbad any further research into the origin of the text dealing with the Trinity.
[MN: You may recall that the Trinity was invented with the Nicean Creed. Most people didn’t buy it at all, but Constantine ruled that they believe it immediately for life or be put to death by the sword.]
The Church forbad not only research but also reading of the Bible by laymen. From earliest times and throughout the Middle Ages possession of a Bible written in the vernacular was a crime, punished by burning at the stake!
[MN: Burning at the stake for reading or translating the scriptures into an understandable language was treason. Queen Mary “Bloody Mary” burned hundreds of people, some accounts of up to 800 people for even attending a mass that was not in Latin.]
To stop people thinking for themselves the church went further. As literacy grew, and minds were being enlightened out of the cloistered darkness, the Catholic Church forbad its clergy from reading newspapers and periodicals in 1854. It condemned socialism, rational thought, civil liberties, freedom of speech and of the press and condemned other religions.
CARD #2: Question: Is the Bible truely unique and the holy word of God?
It is a fact that many researchers and scholars throughout the ages have concluded that the Bible is a garbled jumble of borrowed texts and perverted Epistles and Gospels which did not represent the Truth.
A. Richard Simon in his 17th century “Critical History of the Old Testament” came to this conclusion and in particular, to the conclusion that Moses did not write the Pentateuch.
B. Doctor Alex Geddes in the 18th century came to the same conclusion.
C. The Lux Mundi of 1889 admitted that the Bible is a confused mass of myths, legend and garbled history often contradicting provable facts.
Many other authors now consider that the Gospels cannot be taken as literal Truth but only as romantic symbolism. But even allowing for this latitude, it has often been stated that many orthodox theologians have no idea of the meaning of the myths in the Bible because they do not study the myths and legends of other cultures. They simply condemn them. The church destroyed not only the books and libraries which contained them, but also the people themselves.
From a sociological perspective, it must be stated that THE BIBLE IS NOT UNIQUE. It is a compilation of many myths coming from many parts of the world. All the cultures of the world share the same fables of creation, of the flood, of a magic garden, of the Tree of Life, of its primal couple, of the wise serpent, of the Heaven-piercing Tower (of Babel), of divided waters, of a chosen race, of virgin mothers, of saviours, etc. Scholarly research has shown that both texts of the Bible are quite recent and relatively corrupt derivations from the world-wide cycle of Gnostic Truism which has been labelled Archetypal Myths.. We see in the Bible the adoption of distorted myths attached to every saviour God of all cultures.
CARD #3: Was Jesus copied from Adonis and Attis then synthesized into the Christian God?
Adonis was born in a sacred cave in Bethlehem, of a consecrated Temple maiden, like Mary. Like Jesus and Attis he was sacrificed at the (Northern) Spring Equinox, (the 21st of March) eaten in the form of bread and rose again from the dead on the third day as He was part of a Ritual Resurrection.
Attis and Jesus were also said to be born from a virgin birth as were many others. Attis was associated by the Gnostics, and others, with the Christ spirit as were many others. The Church later made the exclusive association of Jesus and the Christ energy to suit its evil purpose.
The Church did not choose the dates for the Crucifixion of Jesus and His Resurrection (the Easter dates) until the 7th century. This shows how fraudulent its claims of authenticity really are. Even Palm Sunday was copied from the Procession of Palms which glorified the sacred Kings in Ancient Babylon.
CARD #4: More on Attis
Was Attis a Savior God before Jesus?
ATTIS
He was the Son of the virginal Goddess Nana (another aspect of the Great Goddess, the Divine Celestial Mother) who conceived Him by eating an almond. He was slain in order to bring salvation to mankind. His body was eaten by worshippers in the form of bread and he resurrected as the most high God.
This Passion of Attis was celebrated at the Spring Equinox and His birth was on the 25th of December, the time of the Winter Solstice. So you see, Christianity claimed the same dates for the conception and birth of Jesus. When quarrels ensued between the plagiarizers and those who knew the significance of the myths and the plagiarism that the Christian Church was engaged in, the Christians declared that: “The devil had established pagan mysteries in imitation of Christianity before there was a Christianity.” This was actually quite ridiculous.
Attis cult members eventually lost the battle, as did the followers of Adonis, Mithra, Apollo, Orpheus, Tammuz, Osiris, Hermes and others who were all inter-related aspects of the Christ essence. The so-called Christian Church took over. The 25th of March was made the day of the Enunciation by the Church and of course, the 25th of December was made Christmas Day. But these dates were not accepted by the Church until 656 AD The day of Attis’s death was known as Black Friday or the Day of Blood, for then the God Attis died and was buried. He then descended into the Underworld and on the third day He rose again from the dead. And this was Sunday, the Day of Joy. Familiar? Of course it is, for you see, the Rites of Easter have arisen from the mysteries of Attis.
CARD #5: Was Jesus the original “Light of the World”?
Hermes was the Light of the World as was Dionysus, Mithra, Jesus, and Apollo (who became canonized as St. Benedict under his title of Benedictus) and all the others.
And Zeus was their Father.
[MN: Before the time of Jesus in the Bible timelne, Zeus was always the heavenly Father.]
CARD #6:
Was Jesus assigned all the popular attributes of older Historic Gods and saviors?
Titles and Honors too were plagiarized with great abandon:
Osiris was described as the Good Shepherd.
Mithra was described as the Light of the World.
Dionysus was described as the King of Kings, and God of Gods.
Vishnu and Mithra were both the Son of Man and the Messianic energy.
These were all described as Saviors of the World.
These labels are quite familiar, for the Church plagiarized them and misused them to describe Jesus ONLY.
[MN: You can see how popular it was to use typology back in the early days. Each new God inherited all the wonderful attributes of the older historic Gods.]
CARD #7: Were all the popular miracles of Jesus done before by other historic Gods?
Plagiarism knew no bounds. The miracles supposedly performed by Jesus also have many precedences.
– The Dionysian Rite practiced at Sidon in Alexandria gives us wine from water - the very miracle Jesus performed at Cana.
– The priestesses at Nineveh cured the blind by applying their spittle to the eyes.
– The Goddess Demeter, a form of the Great Mother, multiplied loaves and fishes, healed the sick, raised the dead and performed exorcisms.
– In the Magic Papyri, anointed ones (Christs) walk on water.
But of course when these things were pointed out to the oppressing, plagiarizing, so-called Christians who controlled the church, they insisted that the older deities and their miracles were invented by the devil beforehand in order to belittle their forthcoming doctrines of faith. This of course was not so. By the time the so-called Christians (but really evil minions) took control, there were many sources which conflicted with what the church wanted to teach. And so it was, as I have mentioned elsewhere, that, by the year 450 AD, some 200 different Gospels revered by the Church of the Diocese of Bishop Theodore of Cyrrhus were destroyed except for the four Canonical ones. What was the church to do? In order to hide its own criminality, it had to destroy the evidence. And that is exactly what it did. Wanton destruction of nearly all the ancient texts which could reveal its borrowings and plagiarism occurred.
CARD #8:
Did the Gnostics believe Jesus had risen?
The Gnostics vehemently claimed that there was no Resurrection of the flesh and the Church of course had to go directly against them and silence them. Gnostics called the literal view of the Resurrection the “Faith of fools”.
CARD #9: MOSES//What about Moses? Was he real? Did he perform all those Bible miracles?//The Moses myth is really a compilation of 3 antecedent ones as well as other stories://A. From India there was the Hindu myth when Kali gave birth to the Sun God and placed him in a basket of rushes on the Ganges.//B. The same myth was reproduced for Sargon, the King of Akkad, in the 3rd millennium BC King SARGON, a son of a virgin bride of God, was set afloat on the river and rescued by the Divine midwife. He then spent a period of exile in the wilderness where he was tempted by evil spirits and later was elevated to the throne. The fatherless hero born of waters was a universal image of the Saviour king and has been repeated in the myths of Persius, Horus, Jason, Oedipus, Joshua and Jesus.//C. An Egyptian model existed: The miracles attributed to Moses have been derived from Egyptian myths for there is an Egyptian model for the myth of Moses in Heracles of Canopus.
D. Other stories added to the myth include:
* The Parting of the Waters, as attributed to both Kali crossing the Ganges and Isis.// Mother Rhea striking water from a rock.
* She had also given Law tablets on a Holy mountain.
The story of the TEN COMMANDMENTS which were supposedly given to Moses on the Mount was copied from
I The story of the Canaanite god Baal-Berith, the “God of the Covenant”.
Ii The Commandments of the Buddhist Decalogue.
Iii The life of Zoroaster who had also received the Law from Ahura Mazda from the mountain top, and
Iv King Hammurabi who received the Laws from the Babylonian God from a mountain top also.//The basis of the myths concerning Moses also included the expulsion of Jews from Egypt during an outbreak of pestilence. This is very different from what has been written in the extant Old Testament which claims the Jews were liberated by Jehovah’s intervention. [MN: Need to verify this]//The Jews claim they are the Chosen race of God. The True Jews, and not all born into the Jewish race are True Jews, in fact, were the chosen race of the demigod Jehovah (JHWH, Yaldabaoth). According to the Roman historian Tacitus, the Jews were “a race detested by the gods.” I will discuss why this was so in a later chapter. Tacitus, who has given us much insight into non-Christian history, also claims that everything before the Exodus was from non-Jewish sources.
CARD #10: Passover
Was the passover real? Did the Jewish people really have a history of their roots or did they simply plagerize stories from other civilizations?
Many stories of the Old Testament were changed. For example, the story that the firstborn of Egypt were killed by Yahweh who spared the Jewish firstborn, for the Jews had redeemed their sons with the blood of the lamb, was a fabrication and the Passover myth was an Egyptian custom which had originated in China.
Hence, like the Christian Church which rewrote the New Testament, the Jews rewrote the Old Testament to create a mythical, self-aggrandizing history for their nation out of customs, sayings and legends borrowed from others.
[MN: This creation of Jewish history, the Old Testament, was written circa 600 BCE while under the captivity of the Babylonian Empire]
CARD #11: Old Testament Plagiarizing
True Beings should never, never forget that religious doctrine is created by men, using the evil essence. And, as Lactantius, a Father of the church in those formative years admitted, “All religions are based on fear and they resist True knowledge and aspirations.”
Pope Leo the Great endorsed the death penalty for erroneous beliefs in order to defend what the evil beings were doing. There is no doubt that the myths the church created did oppress the people.
The ones around Jehovah were both irrational and vindictive for they punished the whole race for an alleged “Original Sin” and metered out punishment in Hell which lasted forever in merciless agony.
The Church ruled with an iron fist and not only did it prevent the people reading the Bible and endorsed the death penalty for erroneous beliefs, but it also insisted, as it did again during the Reformation, that it was the sole interpreter of the scriptures. And of course this oppression, its overt evilness and the exposure of its manipulation of texts, and its profiteering by selling indulgences, eventually led to revolution and the Reformation.
Much of the Old Testament was distorted and plagiarized also. It is generally conceded that the Pentateuch, supposedly written by Moses, was re-written by the priest, Ezra, much, much later.
CARD #12: MITHRA Dead Ringer for Jesus
Why was Jesus modeled so much after the God Mithra?
Magi story made up in 1813, 18 Centuries after the Bible says it happened.
MITHRA
The early Christians saw Mithra, the Persian Saviour, as a rival who was more successful than the myth that they created.
Those so-called Christians copied the Mithra religion in great detail. Mithra too was born on December 25th of a virgin. His birth was witnessed by shepherds and by Magi who brought gifts to his sacred birth cave. He performed miracles and raised the dead, healed the sick, made the blind see and the lame walk. He cast out devils and, as Son of the Petra Genetrix, He carried the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. He ascended to Heaven at the Spring Equinox (Easter), but before His ascension, He celebrated a Last Supper with His 12 Disciples, the 12 Signs of the Zodiac.
In memory of this, his worshippers partook of a sacramental meal of bread marked with a Cross. (Holy Communion). This was one of the seven sacraments and was the model for the Christian sacrament called the Mizd (Missa, Mass).
The Mithraic doctrines also had the story of the Great Flood, a story based on the Hindu flood version of Manu. Hence, it is obvious the story of the flood went from the Hindu states to Persia to Babylon and into the Old Testament and each version contained within it the story of the end of the world which would be by fire, and the story of the battle of the forces of Good and Evil.
It is from the Mithra religion that labels such as the “Saviour of the World”, and “Soldiers for Christ” were obtained, for Mithra was the Supreme Patron of the Roman armies. From it, we celebrate Sunday and from it arises the claim that the Saviour’s death was marked by an Eclipse. Mithraism had seven Sacraments and a pope, for the Mithraic High Priest was called the Pater Patrum.
Mithraism and Manichaean Christianity (Persian Gnosticism) had much in common. They contained the same Gnostic truths. In the Mithraic Festival of the Epiphany, the Magi come to the child Saviour with gifts. This was adopted by the Christian Church in 1813, as the Festival of the Epiphany, eighteen centuries after the birth of Jesus.
CARD #13: SIGN OF CROSS copy and pasted from Greek God Hermes.
Exact date is not in recorded history, but had to be after 325CE, because the cross was not invented until after Constantine’s vision and his move to make Christianity the Roman religion.
Crucifixions were on vertical stakes up until the reign of Constantine. The sign of the cross of Hermes was tracing the number 4. Because it represented the four ways to get to God (Zeus).
Hermes Sign of the Cross was in use for Zeus for roughly one thousand years before it was adopted by the Catholic church.
