The New Testament Power Group
who wrote the New Testament
I am finding more and more material,
that indicates that the person
or name of Paul
has been misused by the New Testament writers,
to give their ideas some authority,
because Paul was a preacher
with authority.
Paul was a man deeply involved
with ancient Christianity.
He took sides in the problem of
marriage was to be allowed or not.
It is my opinion that he was in
favor for marriage as a Way to God.
But he had nothing to do with
the Power Groups of 300 years later
when the New Testament was
edited and the Roman troops were sent out to destroy all
churches, books and people
who did not believe what they
had to believe.
Questions:
Who were leading this NT-group?
Why did they change history as
they did?
Why was it so important for
them,
that they killed and burned with
the goal to erase the memory
of everybody before them or
next to them?
This is not an attack on the Christian belief.
My statements are meant to call attention
to the many other choices and spiritualities
within Christian thinking, that do not exist
anymore,
because of the work of some power group
that worked its way into the Christian
religion.
I don not know who was behind this power group.
My opinion is that this power group is still in
existence.
The line of Christian tradition does not start
with the
Jesus movement, but is much older.
The roots of the very ancient and respectable
religion
of the Hebrews and the roots of the respectable
religion of Christianity are only partially the
same.
Christianity is not a "kind of
follow-up"
of the Hebrew belief system. Both religions have
existed next
to each other for a long time and this
coexistence
gave both religions some roots in common.
While the Hebrews had a divers and travelling
tribal history,
the early Christians remained mainly
established
in ancient Egypt. It is not correct to see it
as a dogma
that the Christian church started with Jesus
Christ.
Centuries before the time of Jesus Christ the
Christian religion
was emerging in areas of North-Egypt,
Lebanon-Syria, Ethiopia-Nubia-Punt-Yemen,
Jordan-Arabia-Punt, with the focus on ancient
Egypt.
So the start of Christianity is
not in the times
of Jesus, but much earlier. It
is well known
that the New Testament was edited
from 200 to 350 AD,
may be even mainly in the years
320 until 360AD.
This is much later then the
original Jesus movement existed.
The Jesus movement was in
existence around the year 30 until 34AD.
Many churches existed in that
early time and some organizations
were present in every part of
the ancient world.
Many holy books circulated
around the world,
books from a diversity of
backgrounds.
Both the religions of Orpheus
(Eastern Europe)
and ancient Egypt (North Africa).
Initiations were being done and
sacred meals were held.
Then some Power Group decides
to start editing all the existant
books into a believe system
favorable to them.
They edited the New Testament
with the purpose of
wiping out all other Christian
religious groups
with the help of the military
forces of the Roman empire.
It is a fact that the New
Testament has no scriptures
of most of the Apostles and not
one scripture
of the female followers of the
Jesus group.
The list of Apostles varies several times
in the divers books of the New Testament.
This is because the NT-group did not know
anymore who the Apostles were.
The number of 12 apostles is more symbolical
then reality.
So is the number of 72 messengers sent out by
Jesus.
An important number in the New Testament is
153.
This is the number of fishes in the net of the
discipels.
A very interesting thought is that the number
153 is
connected with Maria Magdalene,
the female priest in the New Testament,
who was and is written out of the text by the power
group.
The New Testament reflects the
existence of many groups:
Mentioned are the Farizees; the
followers of John the Baptist;
the followers of Apollos; the
Simon Magus groups;
the Sadducees; the Herodian
groups; the groups around Paul;
the groups of adherents to the
temple of Jerusalem;
the believers from Ethiopia
(who did sent a messenger
and were already in existence
before that time).
Not mentioned in the
New Testament are:
the Essenes;
the Syrian believers (Damascus is mentioned
indeed);
the Arabian believers (Paulus stayed there for
a long time);
the Egyptian believers (Jesus originated from
there);
the Edessa church as the Eastern branch of
ancient Christianity;
the Manichees is their world wide church
organization;
the Hermetic groups from ancient Egypt,
followers of Thoth;
the Orpheus groups with their ancient hymns and
music;
the churches based on the Seth scriptures;
and many others.
Scriptures of all the other
Apostles and the female followers
certainly were and are in
existence,
but were excluded from the
religion defined by the power groups.
In 362AD the Roman Empire became a Christian
nation and the deadly
hunt started for the lives of all believers
who thought differently in their own ways.
