Gnostic Christianity – JUST BE HONEST
I use the term – Gnostic Christian – to separate myself from Roman Christendom
Jesus was a Jew – His Disciples were all Jewish – His original followers were Jewish – the Day of Pentecost happen in the Temple to an audience of Jews - Their theology was Jewish – their demonology was Jewish. Mathew 5:17-20 Jesus did not come to change the Torah, but to fulfill. Jesus promised the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Paul taught the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.
Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Joh 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Joh 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
The first Christians were all Pentecostal Messianic Jews
I use the term – Gnostic Christian – because I do include agreeable portions of the Gnostic Gospels that supplement scripture. My interest is limited to James, John, Paul, Peter, Phillip, and Thomas. These same authors walked and talked with Jesus Christ both before and after His Resurrection.
I use the term – Gnostic Christian – because I do include agreeable science.
Science itself is not the enemy to scripture.
Psa 19:2 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky shows His handiwork.
Rom 1:19 because what can be known about God is plain to them—for God has shown it to them.
Rom 1:20 His invisible attributes—His eternal power and His divine nature—have been clearly seen ever since the creation of the world, being understood through the things that have been made. So people are without excuse—
1Ti 4:1 But the Spirit saith expressly, that in later times some shall fall away from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
1Ti 4:2 through the hypocrisy of men that speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron;
1Ti 4:3 forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by them that believe and know the truth.
1Ti 4:4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it be received with thanksgiving:
As a Gnostic Christian this passage is directed at the Roman Catholic Political Origination
The Apocalypse of Peter
"For many will accept our teaching in the beginning. And they will turn from them again by the will of the Father of their error, because they have done what he wanted. And he will reveal them in his judgment, i.e., the servants of the Word. But those who became mingled with these shall become their prisoners, since they are without perception. And the guileless, good, pure one they push to the worker of death, and to the kingdom of those who praise Christ in a restoration. And they praise the men of the propagation of falsehood, those who will come after you. And they will cleave to the name of a dead man, thinking that they will become pure. But they will become greatly defiled and they will fall into a name of error, and into the hand of an evil, cunning man and a manifold dogma, and they will be ruled without law."
"For some of them will blaspheme the truth and proclaim evil teaching. And they will say evil things against each other. Some will be named: (those) who stand in (the) strength of the archons …
"And there shall be others of those who are outside our number who name themselves bishop and also deacons, as if they have received their authority from God. They bend themselves under the judgment of the leaders. Those people are dry canals."

1Ti 4:3 forbidding to marry
“:… the Devil achieved one of hs greatest victories by persuaiding Rome to decree that it’s priest should remain celibate. When it expected the tens of thousands of priest who were then officiating throughout Europe – the majority of whom must have been healthy, virile men – all to lead a life of unbroken chastity …” Dennis Wheatley (1971) The Devil and all His Works, pg 214
1Ti 4:3 commanding to abstain from meats
(google) Why is there no meat on Good Fridays?
Meat was at one point considered an indulgence, so abstaining from meat on certain days is intended as a form of penance and a way for Christians to honor Jesus' sacrifice of his flesh on Good Friday. That means no meat from birds, cows, sheep, or pigs
1Ti 4:4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it be received with thanksgiving:
Gnostic Paul preached against The Jewish Dietary Law!
1Ti 4:1 - in later times some shall fall away from the faith - seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
1Ti 4:2 through the hypocrisy of men that speak lies,
Hypocrisy –vrs- Credibility
The legacy of 2000 years of Roman Christendom =
If there is a God, why does he allow all the pain, God must be weak, uncaring, or non-existent
In my life I have worked and studied with two types of believers that fall away
1- Darwin science – modern scientific education - scientific publishing – these people have been educated away from the church – because the church has failed to keep pace with the debate
2- People who study scripture at great depth – loose respect for divine inspiration
Hypocrisy of Roman Christendom - Christmas
Jesus was not born on Dec 25th
Christmas trees is adopted from one pagan tradition
Balls (ordainments) adopted from another pagan tradition
What was the pagan religion that plagued Judaism in the OT
Ezk 8 – the worship of Tammuz
Why does Jewish law say – cut off the hand of a maiden if she touches the skin of a dead pig?
Answer – pig = the choses sacrifice to Tammuz
Ezk 8 – the women are in the temple weeping for Tammuz (for 40 days) – THE ABOMINATION
Book of Maccabees – pigs were being sacrificed in the temple by the Romans
Tammuz = the son of Nimrod and Ishtar
Born on Dec 25th – killed by a bore at age 40
Ishtar killed herself and returned to earth in an egg at the Spring Equinox
To prove her divinity she changed a bird into an egg laying Rabbit
Christendom celebrate Easter (Ishtar) Sunday – not on Passover – but on the Spring Equinox
Christendom celebrate Easter with a HAM dinner and Easter eggs
Christendom celebrate the birth of Jesus on Dec 25th
Look at the dates from scripture – it is either September/October or March/April
NOT DECEMBER 25th
Dec 25 is the death of the sun god (Fall)
From the northern hemisphere – the sun dies upon the Southern Cross
For 3 days (Winter Equinox)
To rise again – giving new life (spring)
All announced by 3 kings
Christmas for Roman Christendom is a borrowed pagan sun god religion
Mithras – 1400BC Persia (became wide spread popular around 500BC)
Born on 25 December
Salvation – inscription in a statue (and you have saved us ... in the shed blood)
The water-miracle – he shot a rock with his bow – and water came out
Marked with the sign of the Cross – followers marked their foreheads with the Cross
Mithraic motifs and medieval Christian art
Christian re-use of Mithraic sites and monuments
Many early “Christian iconic objects / art / properties began dedicated to Mithras
Christmas for Roman Christendom is a borrowed pagan Mithras religion
1Ti 4:1 - in later times some shall fall away from the faith - seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
1Ti 4:2 through the hypocrisy of men that speak lies,
IS ROMAN CHRISTIANITY ABOUT JESUS CHRIST?
How about the birth of Jesus?
Mathew says it happened 6-2BC during the reign of King Herod the Great
Luke says 6AD when Herod Archelaus was king (the son of Herod the Great)
Mathew says Jesus (still in His baby bed) was visited by 2 or more Magi
Mathew says Jesus was given wealth – gold, frankincense, and myre
Luke says – Mary gave the offering of the poor – two doves when Jesus was 8 days old
Mathew says Jesus may have been in Bethlehem for up to two years
Luke says – after the sacrifice of two doves – Jesus moved to Galilee
Christianity says – do not read / study / know Zoroastrian – ITS PAGAN
Yet – Christianity includes three Zoroastrian Magi in every Nativity Scene – as a validation

Gnostic Christianity – JUST BE HONEST –THE BIBLE MYTH
Dave" You consider the torah scriptures as with mistakes, some even called bastard mistakes by you.
Mistakes is an incorrect word choice
Scripture is filled with textual variation- and linguist do call 16 verses of the KJV BASTERD TEXTS
As a young Christian, I was taught the Bible is infallible – every word God inspired – no mistakes – no contradictions – PERFECT.
Truth of the history – John Mark might be the author of the Gospel. The only evidence is the tradition. <ark might have written the base text, but the Gospel as we know it today is composed by at least three different authors.
Truth of history – Mathew and Luke used Mark and ‘one other source’ for their own Gospels.
The Gospel of Q – is not a standalone text – but represents all the common verses in Mathew and Luke that did not come from Mark.
None of the text are clean and perfect. All of the texts have incretions and embellishments by additional authors.
Which ending of Mark is correct? – how do you know?
The Gospel of Mark is a perfect example. Tradition says it was written by John Mark the scribe of Peter. But since it was written, translators soon realize, it was added to by at least three different additional authors. The Gospel of Mark exist with three completely different endings.
nelson.ink/which-ending-of-marks-gospel-is-correct/
First-time readers of Mark’s Gospel are often confused over its bizarre ending. Evidence of genuine Christianity is said to include the handling deadly snakes and drinking poison (Mark 16:18). In most Bibles, this bizarre ending in accompanied with a footnote indicating that the most authoritative manuscripts omit Mark 16:9-20. While comforting to some, for others this footnote raises more questions: How exactly did a different ending end up in one of the Gospels? What does this say about the rest of Mark—or the entire New Testament? Can we really trust our Bibles or has the text been drastically changed along the way?
Gnostic Christianity – JUST BE HONEST – TEXTUAL CRITICISM
The process of Canonizing the “Bible” included hundreds of ancient Greek manuscripts.
Fact – they were not all exact copies of one another!
Some texts were chosen – some texts were rejected!
Marginal notes have been added to address the major textual differences.
Since the first draft of the Bible in English – many older manuscripts have been discovered – and even more textual difference have been uncovered. If you include everything – spelling – numbers – punctuation – dates - some estimate say as many as 500,000 textual differences in over 2500 verses. Since the first draft of the Bible in English – entire new gospels have been discovered. 1945 an entire Library of first and second century Pentecostal Messianic text was discovered, in the area of Nag Hammadi, Egypt, labeled by modern religious authority as The Gnostic Gospels.
Scripture is filled with textual variation- and linguist do call 16 verses of the KJV BASTERD TEXTS
Of all the hundreds of ancient Greek manuscripts - these 16 verse exist only in the Eramus Textus Receptus – KJV Translation - John 5:4, Mathew 23:14, Mathew 17:21, Mathew 18:11, Mark 7:16, Mark 9:44, Mark 9:46, Mark 11:26, Mark 15:28, Luke 17:36, John 5:4, Acts 8:37, Acts 15:34, Acts 24:7, Acts 28:29, Romans 16:24. – Their lack of corroboration / validation from the bulk of all manuscripts raises questions as to their real origin. To be safe – modern translations just omit these verses.
THE INFALIBLE WORD OF GOD
The “church” has presented and still presents scripture as infallible. People take this to mean without any error whatsoever, throughout the history of Catholicism people have died arguing over punctuation. Wars have been fought (are being fought) over doctrinal differences.
But an academic look at scripture you discover the “church” lied – misrepresented the truth.
The revelation = no it is not perfect spelling for spelling, word for word, and even verse for verse.
THE ROMAN EDIT
The process of Canonizing the “Bible” included hundreds of ancient Greek manuscripts.
Fact – they were not all exact copies of one another!
Some texts were chosen – some texts were rejected!
Truth of history – I will suggest the Edit process rejected anything that discussed (1) the SPIRITUAL REALITY of Christianity (2) and any discussion of Jewish Demonology
Bible SCHOLARS Leave Christianity - YouTube
In the realm of academia, a long-kept secret prevails: Bible scholars, after years of rigorous study, have quietly abandoned their Christian faith. Welcome to a groundbreaking documentary unveiling their intellectual and emotional journeys.
Within the confines of libraries and lecture halls, these scholars have grappled with their beliefs, ultimately concluding that Christianity, as they knew it, is not true. However, this revelation brings a profound crisis of faith, jeopardizing their careers, social standing, and relationships.
This documentary reveals the stories of renowned scholars like Dr. Bart Ehrman, Richard Miller, Dennis MacDonald, Robert Cargill, Matthew Monger, Kipp Davis, and others, who have transitioned from guardians of Christian knowledge to vocal skeptics. Their narratives exemplify the courage needed to challenge established beliefs and risk personal and professional consequences.
But they are not alone. We also hear from students of research who embarked on their own transformative journeys away from faith. Join us in exploring these profound narratives that challenge belief, unravel faith, and highlight the relentless pursuit of truth.
Gnostic Christianity – JUST BE HONEST
1Ti 4:1 - in later times some shall fall away from the faith - seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
1Ti 4:2 through the hypocrisy of men that speak lies,
Judaism teaches that the meaning of life – our purpose =
Jer 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before you were born, I set you apart—I appointed you prophet to the nations.”
No outside force has ever been able to govern the Jews – because they already have a true KING and HIS LAWS to follow
Gnostic Valentinus taught – there are three types of Christians
1- the lost – pretenders
2- believers - saved and rewarded (deeds, works, and fruit)
3- spiritual – Born Again – led by the Spirit – called to teach and lead
Truth of history – I will suggest the Edit process rejected anything that discussed (1) the SPIRITUAL REALITY of Christianity (2) and any discussion of Jewish Demonology.
The original followers of Jesus Christ – the Christians of the Book of Acts = Pentecostal Messianic Jews
Rome could not govern these Spirit led Pentecostal Messianic Jews – because they already have a true KING and HIS SPIRIT to follow
“church” – always presents a public sermon + a more private / personal teaching (Bible Study)
Judaism presented a public sermon to the people and the world + a more private / personal teaching (Rabbinic school)
Jesus taught a public sermon / message + He taught His disciples privately / personally (what critics call “secret teaching” or “secret knowledge”)
Mar 4:10 When Yeshua was alone, those around Him with the Twelve started asking Him about the parables.
Mar 4:11 And He told them, “To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God. But for those who are outside, everything is in parables, so that
Act 1:3 To them He showed Himself to be alive after His suffering through many convincing proofs, appearing to them for forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.
In the long list of rejected text from the canon – many of them discuss the REALITY OF THE ARCHON – Eph 6:12 – (Jewish Demonology). A whole text dedicated to Eph 6:12 – discussed at length in a few more – all rejected - All of it just Jewish demonology
WHO WOULD WANT TO QUASH THIS? - While inventing Catholic satan at the same time – as a god?
Gnostic Christianity – JUST BE HONEST

As a Gnostic Christian this passage is directed at the Roman Catholic Political Origination
Jewish belief #1 – God is absolute – Anything that has come into being was made by God for God. God is absolute – His creation is exactly as He Willed it to be.
Jewish belief #2 – God tests His people. - Why does God test His people? Deu 8:2 … in order to humble you, to test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His mitzvot or not.
Jewish belief #3 - Why does God do it? - To reveal Himself, to reveal His power and glory
(to prove that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the one true God)
Mat 5:17 “Do not think that I came to abolish the Torah or the Prophets! I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill.
Mat 5:18 Amen, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or serif shall ever pass away from the Torah until all things come to pass.
Mat 5:19 Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever keeps and teaches them, this one shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Catholic Satan – The Fallen Angel
A good-guy angel of the Lord -rebelled against God out of pride – recreating himself into the god of evil – who then took a third of God’s angels away from God – for the purpose of opposing God’s right to rule the universe
The Roman Catholic Political Origination persecuted the Pentecostal Messianic Jews – the original Christians – calling it Gnostic and heresy. Replacing Messianic Judaism with Roman Catholicism. Christianity changed from – Walk by the Spirit – to you need a priest and the Catholic church to save you. But save you from what?
Rome then invents Ezk 28 + Isa 14 satan – the self-made god of evil – as a Machiavellian tool to force dependency upon the church. Even Martin Luther said, “In a religion that teaches salvation, you need an enemy to be saved from.”
Yet, Jewish satanology =
1- satan can be any one opposing / accusing you
2- satan can be an opponent as in war – an enemy
3- an angel charged with accusing man of his sin – heavens prosecutor
Yet – Jewish Demonology =
describes the other gods of the Levant and the world + their demons – called shedim by OT Jewish theology – King Solomon – a group of demon creatures known to the Arabs as the Jinn.
ROMAN CHRISTIANITY IS A SATANIC MISSDIRECTION
The legacy of Roman Christendom after 2000 years = If there is a God, why does he allow all the pain and hardship in the world? Either he is weak, does not care, or is not there.
The way Christianity has been – and is – presented =
Can we really trust our Bibles or has the text been drastically changed along the way?
If you have doubts and learn this – you feel lied to
Gnostic Christianity – JUST BE HONEST
1- Christmas has absolutely nothing to do with the Birth of Jesus Christ
2- Easter Sunday with Ham dinners and Easter eggs have absolutely nothing to do with Passover
Both are 100% pagan adaptations into Christianity
Catholicism teaches poverty and against idolatry - yet – fill their mega cathedrals with all the wealth and pomp of kings and statues of all their Saints.
100% human adaptations into Christianity.
3- Was Jesus born in 6BC or 6AD?
Answer – Mathew was closer to the source
Mathew is in more agreement with history
Mathew support Daniels 70 week prophesy – Daniel was the chief Magi of all Babylon – leaving a fortune and a prophesy. 70 weeks later Magi show up with Daniel’s wealth as a gift to baby Jesus. Wealth used by the family to escape to Egypt
Luke was not close to the source His information is second hand.
Luk 2:39 (The Brisk – the eighth day of Jesus’s life) And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
Mat 2:23 (after returning from Egypt) And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
Translator’s question – could both these verse be additions to satisfy an OT requirement?
Improvements / corrections to the text along the way?
4- Scripture cannot be held to one word perfection – it does not exist.
Any doctrine / religion built upon a verse – or a word – is just begging for error
Isa 28:10 For it must be ‘precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little.’
The message is repeated over and over – because man is dull and stubborn – over and over we are told
Gen 1:1 - From the beginning – Rosh Hashanah
Gen 1:2 - ignorance – do I need to atone? - Yom Kippur
Gen 1:3 - The LIGHT – God does Tabernacle with man - Sukkot
Gen 1:3 – the LIGHT is good – salvation is only by the Lord - Purim
Gen 1:4 – God separates the LIGHT form the darkness - Passover / Pesach
Gen 1:5 – end of Day – Harvest – Pentecost - Shavout
The message is repeated over and over – because man is dull and stubborn – over and over we are told
Outside of scripture – this same message is obvious with nature
The Cycle of life – birth – growth to maturity – death – giving rise to new life
Stars do it in a cycle – the cosmos does it in a cycle - Plants do it every season – even with the animal kingdom.
Gnostic theology also suggest this cyclic nature has played out throughout history – over and over
Precept upon precept, line upon line – over and over. Each dispensational Age beginning a new → corrupting → resulting in a saviour
Adam → sin entered the world → Noah
Noah → Nimrod / Isthar / Tammuz → Abraham
Abraham → age of the Jews → Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ → age of the Gentiles → the Second Coming
Gen 1:1 → history of the planet → the Second Coming (New Heaven and Earth)
Ecc 1:9 What has been is what will be, and what has been done will be done again. There is nothing new under the sun.
Ecc 1:10 Is there anything about which is said, “Look! This is new!”? It was already here long ago, in the ages long before us.
Ecc 1:11 There is no remembrance for former things, and things yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow.
For 2000 years before Jesus Christ – the Jews dressed up like clowns and marched these parades in view of the whole world.
For 2000 years since Jesus Christ the message had been
Gen 1:1 - From the beginning – Rosh Hashanah
Gen 1:2 - ignorance – do I need to atone? - Yom Kippur
Rom 3:23 - for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Rom 3:10 - As it is written, “There is no one righteous—no, not one.
Gen 1:3 - The LIGHT – God does Tabernacle with man - Sukkot
Gen 1:3 – the LIGHT is good – salvation is only by the Lord - Purim
Gen 1:4 – God separates the LIGHT form the darkness - Passover / Pesach
Joh 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Gen 1:5 – end of Day – Harvest – Pentecost - Shavout
Act 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost
Jer 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
5- Catholic satan -
The Catholic presentation of a good-guy rebelling out of pride – Ezk 28 - changing his own created nature against God’s Will – then took one third of all God’s angels against God’s Will – for the purpose of opposing God’s right to rule the universe. = a man-made Catholic religious mythology.
The suggestion that satan is powerful enough to do anything against God’s Will is a satanic misdirection.
The suggestion that satan is powerful enough to change all of God’s tov creation to ra is a satanic misdirection.
The suggestion only empowers satan while diminishing the Creator
A man-made Catholic religious mythology – a Machiavellian enemy to frighten the people into dependency upon a priest and the church. You have to keep those mandatory donations (I mean tithing) coming in – running a full

Jewish belief #3 - Why does God do it? - To reveal Himself, to reveal His power and glory
(to prove that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the one true God)
Jewish belief #4 - Hebrew satan is an angel of the Lord in service to the Lord - Jewish Demonlogy is the stuff of other-gods, demons, known as shedim - the same entites as the Jinn of Arabia - the Watchers of Enoch
Gnostic Christianity belief #1 - Jewish Demonology - The Jinn of Arabis = the Archon of the first century Greek NT authors = The BEAST of Reveletion - the dragon - that old serpent - that we call devils and satanas (G4567 - Chaldean origin) - who decieves the whole world.
'Just outside our fiels of vision ate entities that are anything but human - and they have been manipulating this world from the outside for eons ... some people call them demonic, some call them the serpent race, Islam calls them the Jinn' - David Ike

Many early “Christian iconic objects / art / properties began dedicated to Mithras
Christmas for Roman Christendom is a borrowed pagan Mithras religion
1Ti 4:1 - in later times some shall fall away from the faith - seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
1Ti 4:2 through the hypocrisy of men that speak lies,
IS ROMAN CHRISTIANITY ABOUT JESUS CHRIST?
How about the birth of Jesus?
Mathew says it happened 6-2BC during the reign of King Herod the Great
Luke says 6AD when Herod Archelaus was king (the son of Herod the Great)
Mathew says Jesus (still in His baby bed) was visited by 2 or more Magi
Mathew says Jesus was given wealth – gold, frankincense, and myre
Luke says – Mary gave the offering of the poor – two doves when Jesus was 8 days old
Mathew says Jesus may have been in Bethlehem for up to two years
Luke says – after the sacrifice of two doves – Jesus moved to Galilee
Christianity says – do not read / study / know Zoroastrian – ITS PAGAN
Yet – Christianity includes three Zoroastrian Magi in every Nativity Scene – as a validation

Gnostic Christianity – JUST BE HONEST –THE BIBLE MYTH
Dave" You consider the torah scriptures as with mistakes, some even called bastard mistakes by you.
Mistakes is an incorrect word choice
Scripture is filled with textual variation- and linguist do call 16 verses of the KJV BASTERD TEXTS
As a young Christian, I was taught the Bible is infallible – every word God inspired – no mistakes – no contradictions – PERFECT.
Truth of the history – John Mark might be the author of the Gospel. The only evidence is the tradition. <ark might have written the base text, but the Gospel as we know it today is composed by at least three different authors.
Truth of history – Mathew and Luke used Mark and ‘one other source’ for their own Gospels.
The Gospel of Q – is not a standalone text – but represents all the common verses in Mathew and Luke that did not come from Mark.
None of the text are clean and perfect. All of the texts have incretions and embellishments by additional authors.
Which ending of Mark is correct? – how do you know?
The Gospel of Mark is a perfect example. Tradition says it was written by John Mark the scribe of Peter. But since it was written, translators soon realize, it was added to by at least three different additional authors. The Gospel of Mark exist with three completely different endings.
nelson.ink/which-ending-of-marks-gospel-is-correct/
First-time readers of Mark’s Gospel are often confused over its bizarre ending. Evidence of genuine Christianity is said to include the handling deadly snakes and drinking poison (Mark 16:18). In most Bibles, this bizarre ending in accompanied with a footnote indicating that the most authoritative manuscripts omit Mark 16:9-20. While comforting to some, for others this footnote raises more questions: How exactly did a different ending end up in one of the Gospels? What does this say about the rest of Mark—or the entire New Testament? Can we really trust our Bibles or has the text been drastically changed along the way?
Gnostic Christianity – JUST BE HONEST – TEXTUAL CRITICISM
The process of Canonizing the “Bible” included hundreds of ancient Greek manuscripts.
Fact – they were not all exact copies of one another!
Some texts were chosen – some texts were rejected!
Marginal notes have been added to address the major textual differences.
Since the first draft of the Bible in English – many older manuscripts have been discovered – and even more textual difference have been uncovered. If you include everything – spelling – numbers – punctuation – dates - some estimate say as many as 500,000 textual differences in over 2500 verses. Since the first draft of the Bible in English – entire new gospels have been discovered. 1945 an entire Library of first and second century Pentecostal Messianic text was discovered, in the area of Nag Hammadi, Egypt, labeled by modern religious authority as The Gnostic Gospels.
Scripture is filled with textual variation- and linguist do call 16 verses of the KJV BASTERD TEXTS
Of all the hundreds of ancient Greek manuscripts - these 16 verse exist only in the Eramus Textus Receptus – KJV Translation - John 5:4, Mathew 23:14, Mathew 17:21, Mathew 18:11, Mark 7:16, Mark 9:44, Mark 9:46, Mark 11:26, Mark 15:28, Luke 17:36, John 5:4, Acts 8:37, Acts 15:34, Acts 24:7, Acts 28:29, Romans 16:24. – Their lack of corroboration / validation from the bulk of all manuscripts raises questions as to their real origin. To be safe – modern translations just omit these verses.
THE INFALIBLE WORD OF GOD
The “church” has presented and still presents scripture as infallible. People take this to mean without any error whatsoever, throughout the history of Catholicism people have died arguing over punctuation. Wars have been fought (are being fought) over doctrinal differences.
But an academic look at scripture you discover the “church” lied – misrepresented the truth.
The revelation = no it is not perfect spelling for spelling, word for word, and even verse for verse.
THE ROMAN EDIT
The process of Canonizing the “Bible” included hundreds of ancient Greek manuscripts.
Fact – they were not all exact copies of one another!
Some texts were chosen – some texts were rejected!
Truth of history – I will suggest the Edit process rejected anything that discussed (1) the SPIRITUAL REALITY of Christianity (2) and any discussion of Jewish Demonology
Bible SCHOLARS Leave Christianity - YouTube
In the realm of academia, a long-kept secret prevails: Bible scholars, after years of rigorous study, have quietly abandoned their Christian faith. Welcome to a groundbreaking documentary unveiling their intellectual and emotional journeys.
Within the confines of libraries and lecture halls, these scholars have grappled with their beliefs, ultimately concluding that Christianity, as they knew it, is not true. However, this revelation brings a profound crisis of faith, jeopardizing their careers, social standing, and relationships.
This documentary reveals the stories of renowned scholars like Dr. Bart Ehrman, Richard Miller, Dennis MacDonald, Robert Cargill, Matthew Monger, Kipp Davis, and others, who have transitioned from guardians of Christian knowledge to vocal skeptics. Their narratives exemplify the courage needed to challenge established beliefs and risk personal and professional consequences.
But they are not alone. We also hear from students of research who embarked on their own transformative journeys away from faith. Join us in exploring these profound narratives that challenge belief, unravel faith, and highlight the relentless pursuit of truth.
Gnostic Christianity – JUST BE HONEST
1Ti 4:1 - in later times some shall fall away from the faith - seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
1Ti 4:2 through the hypocrisy of men that speak lies,
Judaism teaches that the meaning of life – our purpose =
Jer 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before you were born, I set you apart—I appointed you prophet to the nations.”
No outside force has ever been able to govern the Jews – because they already have a true KING and HIS LAWS to follow
Gnostic Valentinus taught – there are three types of Christians
1- the lost – pretenders
2- believers - saved and rewarded (deeds, works, and fruit)
3- spiritual – Born Again – led by the Spirit – called to teach and lead
Truth of history – I will suggest the Edit process rejected anything that discussed (1) the SPIRITUAL REALITY of Christianity (2) and any discussion of Jewish Demonology.
The original followers of Jesus Christ – the Christians of the Book of Acts = Pentecostal Messianic Jews
Rome could not govern these Spirit led Pentecostal Messianic Jews – because they already have a true KING and HIS SPIRIT to follow
“church” – always presents a public sermon + a more private / personal teaching (Bible Study)
Judaism presented a public sermon to the people and the world + a more private / personal teaching (Rabbinic school)
Jesus taught a public sermon / message + He taught His disciples privately / personally (what critics call “secret teaching” or “secret knowledge”)
Mar 4:10 When Yeshua was alone, those around Him with the Twelve started asking Him about the parables.
Mar 4:11 And He told them, “To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God. But for those who are outside, everything is in parables, so that
Act 1:3 To them He showed Himself to be alive after His suffering through many convincing proofs, appearing to them for forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.
In the long list of rejected text from the canon – many of them discuss the REALITY OF THE ARCHON – Eph 6:12 – (Jewish Demonology). A whole text dedicated to Eph 6:12 – discussed at length in a few more – all rejected - All of it just Jewish demonology
WHO WOULD WANT TO QUASH THIS? - While inventing Catholic satan at the same time – as a god?
Gnostic Christianity – JUST BE HONEST
1Ti 4:1 - in later times some shall fall away from the faith - seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,

As a Gnostic Christian this passage is directed at the Roman Catholic Political Origination
Jewish belief #1 – God is absolute – Anything that has come into being was made by God for God. God is absolute – His creation is exactly as He Willed it to be.
Jewish belief #2 – God tests His people. - Why does God test His people? Deu 8:2 … in order to humble you, to test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His mitzvot or not.
Jewish belief #3 - Why does God do it? - To reveal Himself, to reveal His power and glory
(to prove that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the one true God)
Mat 5:17 “Do not think that I came to abolish the Torah or the Prophets! I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill.
Mat 5:18 Amen, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or serif shall ever pass away from the Torah until all things come to pass.
Mat 5:19 Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever keeps and teaches them, this one shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Catholic Satan – The Fallen Angel
A good-guy angel of the Lord -rebelled against God out of pride – recreating himself into the god of evil – who then took a third of God’s angels away from God – for the purpose of opposing God’s right to rule the universe
The Roman Catholic Political Origination persecuted the Pentecostal Messianic Jews – the original Christians – calling it Gnostic and heresy. Replacing Messianic Judaism with Roman Catholicism. Christianity changed from – Walk by the Spirit – to you need a priest and the Catholic church to save you. But save you from what?
Rome then invents Ezk 28 + Isa 14 satan – the self-made god of evil – as a Machiavellian tool to force dependency upon the church. Even Martin Luther said, “In a religion that teaches salvation, you need an enemy to be saved from.”
Yet, Jewish satanology =
1- satan can be any one opposing / accusing you
2- satan can be an opponent as in war – an enemy
3- an angel charged with accusing man of his sin – heavens prosecutor
Yet – Jewish Demonology =
describes the other gods of the Levant and the world + their demons – called shedim by OT Jewish theology – King Solomon – a group of demon creatures known to the Arabs as the Jinn.
ROMAN CHRISTIANITY IS A SATANIC MISSDIRECTION
The legacy of Roman Christendom after 2000 years = If there is a God, why does he allow all the pain and hardship in the world? Either he is weak, does not care, or is not there.
The way Christianity has been – and is – presented =
Can we really trust our Bibles or has the text been drastically changed along the way?
If you have doubts and learn this – you feel lied to
Gnostic Christianity – JUST BE HONEST
1- Christmas has absolutely nothing to do with the Birth of Jesus Christ
2- Easter Sunday with Ham dinners and Easter eggs have absolutely nothing to do with Passover
Both are 100% pagan adaptations into Christianity
Catholicism teaches poverty and against idolatry - yet – fill their mega cathedrals with all the wealth and pomp of kings and statues of all their Saints.
100% human adaptations into Christianity.
3- Was Jesus born in 6BC or 6AD?
Answer – Mathew was closer to the source
Mathew is in more agreement with history
Mathew support Daniels 70 week prophesy – Daniel was the chief Magi of all Babylon – leaving a fortune and a prophesy. 70 weeks later Magi show up with Daniel’s wealth as a gift to baby Jesus. Wealth used by the family to escape to Egypt
Luke was not close to the source His information is second hand.
Luk 2:39 (The Brisk – the eighth day of Jesus’s life) And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
Mat 2:23 (after returning from Egypt) And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
Translator’s question – could both these verse be additions to satisfy an OT requirement?
Improvements / corrections to the text along the way?
4- Scripture cannot be held to one word perfection – it does not exist.
Any doctrine / religion built upon a verse – or a word – is just begging for error
Isa 28:10 For it must be ‘precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little.’
The message is repeated over and over – because man is dull and stubborn – over and over we are told
Gen 1:1 - From the beginning – Rosh Hashanah
Gen 1:2 - ignorance – do I need to atone? - Yom Kippur
Gen 1:3 - The LIGHT – God does Tabernacle with man - Sukkot
Gen 1:3 – the LIGHT is good – salvation is only by the Lord - Purim
Gen 1:4 – God separates the LIGHT form the darkness - Passover / Pesach
Gen 1:5 – end of Day – Harvest – Pentecost - Shavout
The message is repeated over and over – because man is dull and stubborn – over and over we are told
Outside of scripture – this same message is obvious with nature
The Cycle of life – birth – growth to maturity – death – giving rise to new life
Stars do it in a cycle – the cosmos does it in a cycle - Plants do it every season – even with the animal kingdom.
Gnostic theology also suggest this cyclic nature has played out throughout history – over and over
Precept upon precept, line upon line – over and over. Each dispensational Age beginning a new → corrupting → resulting in a saviour
Adam → sin entered the world → Noah
Noah → Nimrod / Isthar / Tammuz → Abraham
Abraham → age of the Jews → Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ → age of the Gentiles → the Second Coming
Gen 1:1 → history of the planet → the Second Coming (New Heaven and Earth)
Ecc 1:9 What has been is what will be, and what has been done will be done again. There is nothing new under the sun.
Ecc 1:10 Is there anything about which is said, “Look! This is new!”? It was already here long ago, in the ages long before us.
Ecc 1:11 There is no remembrance for former things, and things yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow.
For 2000 years before Jesus Christ – the Jews dressed up like clowns and marched these parades in view of the whole world.
For 2000 years since Jesus Christ the message had been
Gen 1:1 - From the beginning – Rosh Hashanah
Gen 1:2 - ignorance – do I need to atone? - Yom Kippur
Rom 3:23 - for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Rom 3:10 - As it is written, “There is no one righteous—no, not one.
Gen 1:3 - The LIGHT – God does Tabernacle with man - Sukkot
Gen 1:3 – the LIGHT is good – salvation is only by the Lord - Purim
Gen 1:4 – God separates the LIGHT form the darkness - Passover / Pesach
Joh 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Gen 1:5 – end of Day – Harvest – Pentecost - Shavout
Act 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost
Jer 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
5- Catholic satan -
The Catholic presentation of a good-guy rebelling out of pride – Ezk 28 - changing his own created nature against God’s Will – then took one third of all God’s angels against God’s Will – for the purpose of opposing God’s right to rule the universe. = a man-made Catholic religious mythology.
The suggestion that satan is powerful enough to do anything against God’s Will is a satanic misdirection.
The suggestion that satan is powerful enough to change all of God’s tov creation to ra is a satanic misdirection.
The suggestion only empowers satan while diminishing the Creator
A man-made Catholic religious mythology – a Machiavellian enemy to frighten the people into dependency upon a priest and the church. You have to keep those mandatory donations (I mean tithing) coming in – running a full

(to prove that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the one true God)
Jewish belief #4 - Hebrew satan is an angel of the Lord in service to the Lord - Jewish Demonlogy is the stuff of other-gods, demons, known as shedim - the same entites as the Jinn of Arabia - the Watchers of Enoch
Gnostic Christianity belief #1 - Jewish Demonology - The Jinn of Arabis = the Archon of the first century Greek NT authors = The BEAST of Reveletion - the dragon - that old serpent - that we call devils and satanas (G4567 - Chaldean origin) - who decieves the whole world.
'Just outside our fiels of vision ate entities that are anything but human - and they have been manipulating this world from the outside for eons ... some people call them demonic, some call them the serpent race, Islam calls them the Jinn' - David Ike
