THE BASTARDIZATION OF ORIGINAL ETHIOPIAN KRST-IANITY AND WHY INI CANNOT AND MUST NOT TRUST EUROPEAN (PER)VERSIONS

There were two councils of the Christian Church held in Nicea (Nice), in what is now northwest Turkey. The most important was called in 325 A.D. by Constantine "the Great" and 219 bishops from all of the powerful Christian regions attended it. It was the intent of Constantine to change Christianity into Christiandom. In other words, religion would now become the vehicle of government control over the people. Achievement of this goal involved changing some of the tenets of Christianity. Anyone who is interested can obtain a copy of the proceedings of the Nicene Conference and see the tremendous political struggle that was going on between the "Men of God."

One will notice that at least 18 books - including the book of Mary - that were part of the Koin Bible (the original Bible up to that point) were removed from the canons. Furthermore, many of the ancient African teachings, including the concept of reincarnation, were removed from Christianity. And it was at this time that they put into the new Bible the ancient African concept of the Immaculate Conception. But this was not the first time that Church leaders had gotten together to fight over what was to be accepted as Christianity. A similar conference was held in Jamnia in A.D. 90, at which time other changes were made.

We feel that this information is critical to the self- esteem and future of Blacks around the globe. Our contributions as the originators of high culture or "civilization" have been systematically kept from us. Our inventions, our philosophies, our religious concepts and systems have been stolen, co-opted, distorted, adopted and then used against us. We as a people must begin to assert ourselves and to reclaim our history and our science, and become knowledgeable about who we are, whence we came, and where we are going.

WITHOUT A THOROUGH KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF AFRICAN HISTORY (INCLUDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHRISTIANITY IN AFRICA), OUR FUTURE AS A PEOPLE IS AT BEST....BLEAK

The Bible of the Ethiopic Church preserved some writings that were rejected or lost by other Churches, such as the 'Book of Jubilees', the 'Third Book of Ezra' and the 'Apocalypse of St Peter'. The Ethiopic Bible has a total of 84 books, compared to the 66 books of the King James, or Authorised, Version of the Bible. Some of these are translations from Greek, Syriac and Coptic texts no longer known in their original languages.

All of the Ethiopian Emperors of the Solomonic Dynasty were priests of Ausar. This is why they built churches underground, as Ausar is the Lord of the Underworld. Their Ethiopian churches are HIS domain. The Ethiopian Orthodox Christians worship Jesus Christ, but its priests in the know worship Ausar. This makes sense since ancient Ethiopian priests told the Greek historian Diodorus that Ausar was a colonizer from their land.



In its esoteric interpretation, it is completely rooted in post-enlightenment self-deification. The nine saints of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church were at odds with the Roman Catholic Church because of its doctrine of original sin, which states that man is born spiritually defiled . The Catholics promoted the idea that Jesus was both human and divine, whereas the early Christians of Ethiopia proposed that man is inherently divine and could establish a relationship with God firsthand without any intermediary. The Greeks, who Hellenized Ethiopian thought, called this direct path to enlightenment Gnosticism.

Jesus' teachings (not "Christianity") were simply part of an ancient system of knowledge. When we study the history of the Bible and the history of the Church it becomes clear to us that the present version of Christianity is a bastardization of what Jesus taught. It is an insult to the legacy of this great teacher. Even of Jesus did not exist, "Christianity" is a corrupt and tainted form of a great system of knowledge.

Unfortunately, these apocryphal doctrines will probably never be made public (the Dead Sea Scrolls and Nag Hammadi scrolls are indeed available, but they are not accepted as relevant to Christianity today, and the Church has done a great job hiding these texts from most believers). When one reads these apocryphal scriptures, it is evident why the Church has worked so hard to hide or at least refute them. When a person understands that knowledge is the key to salvation, it is difficult to control that person. When a person believes that the key to salvation is the belief in the Son of God dying for the "sins" of humanity, it is easy to control that person. Why? Because that person then believes that he or she is inherently evil and in need of salvation from his or her "sins." That person then believes that in order to be "saved," he or she must follow the dogmas of Christianity.

Unfortunately, these dogmas are not Jesus' laws. These dogmas are the creations of men whose only interest was/is in power and control. In reality, the only real sin is ignorance

I am not familiar. Going to research and come forward with my findings.

Give thanks for the inspiration to dig deeper. This is what reasoning and building is all about!

That is so true. In many churches, they mostly talk about the parts of the bible written by Paul. There are so many teachings from Yeshua, and they hardly speak of them. They might say some narratives regarding Yeshua, and do occasionally quote his words, but sometimes when they quote it, they take a message that is so powerful, and reduce it to an uninspiring, almost useless message with they way they interpret it for their congregation.

Dats why I call it 'PAUL'ianity , everything is Paul a man who according to the story NEVER knew the man Jesus and when he claim to have an encounter with him the story changes 3 times!

Moderm Christianity used Hebrew names to mask Greco/Roman culture kinda Like Vodou and Santeria used Catholic saints to mask AFRICAN cultre. U may say one while whole time meaning the other!

Agreed @ Ark I!

Interesting that Paul is mentioned when it comes to confusion in the bible. Like VoodooRuutz mentioned above, it's become Paul-ianity!

VoodooRuutz, here is what I found on the Teacher of Righteousness and The Liar. Very interesting indeed! As I'm not very familiar on the subject, perhaps another Idren may have more intimate knowledge...

Long before the purported life of Jesus, the Essenes followed a man known as the Teacher of Righteousness, known in Hebrew as Moreh ha-Zedek (Zedek means righteousness, and is the same word used in Melchizedek).

Jesus appears in many respects as an astonishing reincarnation of the Teacher of Righteousness. Like the latter, he preached penitence, poverty, humility, love of one's neighbor… Like him, he was the Elect and the Messiah of God.... Like him, he was the object of the hostility of the priests.... Like him, he was condemned and put to death. Like him he pronounced judgment on Jerusalem, which was taken and destroyed by the Romans for having put him to death.... Like him, he founded a Church whose adherents fervently awaited his glorious return....

The Teacher of Righteousness predates Christianity by as much as ~200 years. If The Teacher of Righteousness and Jesus are one in the same, that would explain why there is such a collective fog regarding the man Jesus in the earliest Christian writings, and it would also explain how it was possible for such divergent Christian sects to have been in existence only 20 years after Jesus' supposed crucifixion; they were offshoots of the much older Essene tradition.

There is speculation that the "The Liar" referred to in the Damascus Document of the Dead Sea Scrolls IS NONE OTHER THEN PAUL HIMSELF, who from their perspective, was attempting to corrupt Essene tradition with pagan concepts

Ever hear the phrase 'robbing Peter to pay Paul'?

There is certain writings of Paul as an opposer of James and Peter, even within the bible this can be sited.
Paul withstood Peter to his face
Paul disobeys the council at Jerusalem concernig Gentiles
