Fray notes that Jerome was appointed by the Bishop of Rome,
Damasus, to establish the recently established Catholic Church in Asia, Africa
and Europe. For which he had a free hand. He also notes that
alterations and additions to the Septuagint were made by Jerome before he
attached it to the New Testament and published the result as the Vulgate, the
first bible.
A recent documentary by the BBC traced the search by one
scholar who proved beyond doubt that there was no New Testament document in
existence prior to at least the middle of the 4th CAD. This concurs with my
findings.
While claims to that effect oppose religious
claims, especially those of Christian branches, they are supported by evidence
from archaeology, public records, diaries, letters, and scholarly works. Its
focus is on heaven and hell as destinations of one’s ‘soul’ after death. These
are weapons to get people in and keep them in line.
Threats of eternal punishment in hell is against the welfare
of all people and in today’s world line up with the terrorist tactics employed
to prevent people being educated or becoming wise.
After the Council of Nicaea
When delegates from the Council of Nicaea returned home they
were under imperial orders to practice the new religion and to force it on
their people. The change they preached was worship of the cross instead of the
sun-star, the symbol of Islam. They were also to declare that the Son of God had come to earth in the form of Jesus Christ and that Mary was now the Mother of God.
Mary was the name of the Mother God of Babylon in their previous dogma.
They struggled to understand how, when, where or by whom
this had occurred. With no order of service and no code as a guide they continued
to worship as before, that is as sun worshipers of Islam.
Most of them were illiterate and even if a text was produced
it is doubtful they could have followed it. Some were recruited from prisons
with promises of freedom if they served the church. Others were previously salt
mining slaves.
Many had been tortured and maimed before succumbing to the
new religion. They were now collectively now Christians, that is followers of
Christ.
The term had, however, been around for centuries as Plato
used it to describe follower of Krishna, who was the Christ of the Vedic Trinity
. Greek philosophers spent much time traveling to India and absorbing its
religious ideology.
Pythagoras roamed widely throughout the East and had contact
with the teachings of that religion. Cesaro, the mentor of Plato, had huge
followings. The crowds listened to these learned men who spoke in the streets.
Preaching their revelations Krishna became known as the Son of God.
Jerome used Plato as his mentor.
My research turned uo this interesting snippet from a previous
scholar. "Boudha and Chrishna were, however, only renewed incarnations of the
same Being; the solar power, or a principle aspect of the sun, Boudha is the
name of the sun in Taurus, the bull; and Chrishna is the same solar power when
the sun receded into Aries, the Lamb", cited Britten 1879:58. Christ was
called the 'Lamb of God' obviously and was modeled on Krishna.
There was also this bit of information from the same source:
From the same source "the mother of Boudha was Maia, a name also assigned to
the Greek Mercury . . . the followers of Boudha claim for him no earthy father,
but an immaculate conception, through a royal mother and a ray of heavenly
light."
Maia is the same as Ma-r-i, the Mother god of the Amorites
who was taken to Rome by the Amors. Ma-r-i translates as 'Mother's powerful eye'
while 'Ma-i-a' is Mothers eye of power". There is no letter [y] in Italian or
Latin and Mari is the same as the English version Mary.
Britten also posits that "Gregorius, in his Tibetium
Alpebetum, describes and illustrates the Hindoo God, Indra, the sun, nailed to
a cross with five wounds (1879:65). The British Museum holds images of Wittoba,
another Indian god, also nailed to a cross with five wounds. This was found at
Elephantina some 2500 years ago. It is credited to a find by Mr Higgins and "in
several of the icons to Wittoba, there are marks of holes in both feet, the
hands . . . on one side is the mark of a foot and a little lower a round hole.
To his collar or shirt hangs an emblem of a heart, such as . . . on the romish
pictures of Christ." (1879:66)
We also learn from this author that: "Boudha and Chrishna
were, however, only renewed incarnations of the same Being; the solar power,
or a principle aspect of the sun, Boudha is the name of the sun in Taurus, the
bull; and Chrishna is the same solar power when the sun receded into Aries,

and was modeled on Krishna.

powerful eye' while 'Ma-i-a' is Mothers eye of power". There is no letter [y]
in Italian or Latin and Mari is the same as the English version Mary.
"In Assyria, Phonecia, and . . . Arabia . . .Boudha, as the
bul, was corrupted to Bel, Belus, Baal,Bael Peor, . . . the Good God, the Lord
of Heaven, and the Enlightened one." (Britten) We also learn from her that
Gregorius, in his Tibetium Alpebetum, describes and illustrates the Hindoo
God, Indra, the sun, nailed to a cross with five wounds (1879:65).
The British
Museum holds images of Wittoba, another Indian god, also nailed to a cross with
five wounds. This was found at Elephantina some 2500 years ago. It is credited
to a find by Mr Higgins and "in several of the icons to Wittoba, there are
marks of holes in both feet, the hands . . . on one side is the mark of a foot
and a little lower a round hole. To his collar or shirt hangs an emblem of a
heart, such as . . . on the romish pictures of Christ." (1879:66)
Reports of Chrishna's birth claim he was born from the left
intercostal rib of a virgin, of the royal line of Devaci (note how close this
is to David, the line from which Christ was supposedly born). The tyrant Cansa
was in pursuit of him and supposedly slew all infants under the age of 2.
Chrishna, however, was secretly taken to Egypt and hidden in Mathura by a
herdsman called Ananda. During his boyhood he slew the terrible serpent
Caliyaga, plus other serpents and monsters. Among his miracles he raised the
dead and descended into the lowest regions for that purpose. He washed the feet
of the Bramins whom he favored (1879:73)
Mrs Child reported one such account in the following manner.
". . . the boy who is destined to destroy you has been born." Cansa then gave
order to cull all male children in the kingdom. This is depicted in the cave
temple at Elephantina by a figure wielding a sword surrounded by dead infants.
(1897:74)
There can be no doubt that Jerome used these accounts of the
birth of Krishna and of his life to compile that of Jesus Christ. In fact, it is
highly likely that he wrote the Book of Matthew and that other of the gospels
were copied from it.
This claim is supported by his own diaries in which he
inserted things into the Septuagint prior to changing its title to the Old
Testament. He justified this on the pretext that he knew what the Jews had taken
out so he was putting it back. Some passages in the OT stand out as 'foreign' to
the rest of the chapter.
Jerome included in his diaries and letters to Damasus that he
took the order of service, festivals, calendar, instruments, costumes, and laws
from the Imperial Roman Religion (which was Islamic) and brought then into the
church as its own. The book of Matthew includes those laws and festivals.
