Lets get one thing straight first. The people we credit for authoring the books in the canonized scripture did NOT set out to write a bible or record any word of any GOD. The letters of Paul are real letters written by Paul to real people and carried to the different locations to the people there to give them a message from him when he was in prison or in any other way unable to personally deliver it. They did not have cellphones, the world wide web, or even a land line phone. The old testament prophets in Israel were part of Jewish culture and for a short bit part of ruling or governance for Jewish people. There was an entire class of people known as scribes who did nothing but write down what they saw or heard or to copy something already written down, like Torah. Yes the writers were inspired to write what they did so in that manner scripture is the inspired word/voice of CREATOR GOD. It is an absolute miracle how they all came together to be part of one “book” or publication and the circulation for the Christian Bible is more than any other book ever recorded in history. This too is divine. It was exactly this that brought Constantine to use the books the council at Mycenae chose. Constantine altered the writing/prose in a few places for his end and to his purpose.
One of the best known examples of Constantine changing the wording to suit his own purpose is in the Letters of Paul to the churches. In Corinthians, Paul says that women are “to keep quiet in the assembly”. This has been used by men to subdue women under them keep them in a second class citizen condition and out of leadership.
Women were not allowed on the floor of the temple. Only men. So the women sat in the balcony seats. Without the benefits of mics and amplifiers the women could just barely hear what was being said in the rituals and the teachings. The women in the balcony seats would holler down to their husbands and ask what was being said. The Jewish men would then holler back up at their wife their shorter version of what was being taught or the specific part of ritual was being sung or observed. This became very disturbing and disrupting. So Paul said do not do that. Women, keep silent in the assembly and husbands you fill in your wife when you get home together. This part of the Pauline letters was a simple “house keeping” note like any and all CEOs do in a board meeting.
The phrase that says women are to “keep quiet in the assembly” is not in the original text! Constantine was having trouble with his nagging wife. He made a deal with the High Priest to put those phrases in cannon so he could use them against his wife to keep her from nagging him. Enough other men involved in the cannon agreed that it would be good to keep women subjugated and subdued the phrase “women are to keep quiet in the assembly” was officially added to cannon. This is completely man by man against woman for utility. Nothing divine or even political intent for gain or greed involved. Paul did not write it.
Another part of scripture that has been changed is the depiction of Mary of Magdala. Mary Magdalene or even the Magdalene is not a whore or a prostitute by trade. There are several different woman named Mary in the new testament. This Mary is in fact the lawfully wedded wife of Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ of GOD. Mary the wife of Jesus is the 12th disciple. The one who replaced Judas Iscariot when Judas betrayed Jesus. Before Jesus died on the cross, he left the followers and the work of the kingdom in Mary’s hands. The disciples, Peter most intensely, were jealous of Mary and the relationship she had with Jesus as his wife. She was pregnant when Jesus was crucified and the disciples expelled Mary out of Israel to have her child. James and John, the sons of Zebedee, took Mary to the South of France to have the baby girl and she named her Sarah. Judaic law in the time of Jesus and Mary dictated boys marry usually around the age of 12 when they had their bar-mitzvah, their coming of age into manhood ceremony in the temple. Jesus met Mary there in the temple. She was a seller of purple. Denying that Jesus was married and his wife was Mary of Magdala and they had a baby girl Mary named Sarah if a very deep con put on all of us who were born after Constantine set about creating cannon and they church. This too was an attempt to subdue women and keep them out of leadership.
The ones who perpetuate the con set up by Constantine through his foundation for authority and power, the Church as ruled by Vatican City, are the merchants or the sellers Apostle John talks about in the book of Revelation. The whore Church, Babylon the Great sells “salvation by the church through believing in Church to save instead of being saved by Grace through Christ Jesus blood and sacrifice. Church sells indulgences, absolutions, purgatory, the cross, the saints, the “high holy days” just to mention a few. Jesus threw these types of money changer out of the temple in Jerusalem.
Jesus taught “I am the way the truth and the LIFE. No one comes to the Father but by me.” There is no other way by which man can be saved from the death of Satan’s rebellion and be restored back into the LIFE of CREATOR GOD as it was in the beginning.
Before you today stand 2 choices; life and death. Choose LIFE
