PART XI

DIVINE PLAGIARISM

(The display of pilfered property often exposes the culprit.)

Throughout our work we have declared that gnosticism was the basis of Christianity, although we doubt if much of the secret gnostic wisdom was permitted to come out of the ecclesiastical refrigerator.

It is evident from the utterances of the Christ character, to his alleged apostles, that, the system was divided into three separate parts, the inner circle of the priesthood, the working disciples, and the masses of people—the will, the execution and the object of Christianity.

1. The alleged Christ taught to the apostles the interpretation of the "inner mystery," and put into their mouths the parables which they were to teach to the people. He who was wise enough to understand these parables, fables and allegories went higher, following the system of the old philosophers.

2. The alleged apostles taught to the disciples that which was to be revealed to the untutored masses.

Let us examine the evidence.

Christ said to his apostles:

"Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed; and hid that shall not be known." (Matt. 10:26.)

"And the disciples came, and said unto him, why speakest thou unto them in parables?

"He answered and said unto them, because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

"Therefore speak I to them in parables; because they see

ing see not; and hearing they hear not; neither do they understand." (Matt. 13:11-13.)

This makes it quite clear that the apostles and disciples were entirely different elements in the work. The disciples not fully understanding the apostolic instructions, they sought first hand information from Christ himself, with this answer. It is equally clear that no revelation was to be made to the masses, "those without."

There must have been an urgent reason for this.

"Lest at any time they should be converted and their sins should be forgiven them." (Mark 4:12.)

This should make it plain that conversion and forgiveness of sins were not the primary purposes of the sending out of the apostles and disciples. All the explanation words can form cannot unsay this, and all subsequent history proves it.

No Christian revelation has ever been made to humanity and it is not intended there shall be.

We declare that the original sin was ignorance, and this refers to the instruction and super-education of the priesthood, and the working agents of ecclesiasticism. The purpose being to build up a super-class to lord it over the producing masses. To prevent self-education, the working organization included schools for the superficial teaching of the masses, which was nothing short of inspired and cultivated ignorance, intolerance, bigotry and superstition. These schools are the churches, mere adjuncts to the main purpose.

As a reward for obedience this sop is cast to the workers, to fill them with pride, vanity and selfishness.

"For whoso hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath." (Matt. 13:12.)

We do not hesitate to accuse ecclesiasticism of deliberately premeditating the mental debasement of mankind by this plain confession. Something is going to be secretly taken away from the people. The proposition requires no argument. One thousand years (486 to 1495) of abject ignorance and intellectual

degradation, the "dark ages," prove conclusively that, this horrid plan was put into execution.

Moreover, humanity at large never recovered from this state of mental and physical degradation.

The high state of learning, science and philosophy long preceding Christianity, sufficiently evidences that, the period of ignorance and intellectual darkness following its introduction was a premeditated suppression of human mental progression and development. There is endless proofs of this found throughout the Bible.

Ecclesia is derived from the Greek, meaning a governing or legislative and law making assembly which ruled ancient Athens.

The first ten words in the Bible:

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth,” uncovers the most vital secrets of the Christian enterprise. Its secret interpretation reveals an original intent to usurp temporal power; seize and reform governments; make new laws, and assume control over mankind.

Heaven means Ecclesiastical government.

Earth means productive mankind.

Law means authority, with power to forbid or license every human act, and guide the physical, mental and moral development of the human race. This has smothered humanity in criminal laws.

God means the supreme head of this worldly organization for the exploitation of humanity.

God is an abbreviation of the word good-an anomalous personification, because good is a relative term.

"There is none good but one, that is God." (Matt. 19:17.) "The kingdom of God comes with power." (Mark 9:1.) Power means authority.

The meanest theory ever conceived in a human mind is here exposed.

The word world, as used in the Bible, signifies humanity at large.

"The law maketh all the world guilty." (Rom. 3:20.)

"I had not known sin except by the law." (Rom. 7:7.) "The law worketh wrath: for where no law is there is no transgression." (Rom. 4:15.)

"For without the law sin was dead." (Rom. 7:8.)

"I will punish the world for their evil." (Is. 13:11.) "The friendship of the world is enmity with God." (James 4:4.)

"The world is crucified by Jesus Christ." (Gal. 6:14.)

This is an amazing confession, that, to correct an original error which accused mankind of inherited sin, without law, a temporal authority is set up to formulate statutory laws by which all mankind is brought into sin that it may be punished. This is the crucifixion of humanity through the alleged Christ. It was not a Christ, but the world, humanity, which was crucified. (Gal. 6:14.)

"That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet (Is. 13:11) I will open my mouth in parables. I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world." (Matt. 13:35.)

This refers to the first ten words in the Bible. If there is doubt of this, Christ sent the multitudes away, but secretly declared that: "The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom (the church). The tares are the children of the wicked." (not of the church) (Matt. 13:38.)

This perverted theory that man, the highest evoluted creation in nature, must be submerged in sin and evil, that he may be scourged by authority, is the basis of all statutory law ruling humanity today. It has borne evil fruits far beyond the wildest dreams of the imbecilic minds originally conceiving it, filling the world with law-made crime. Reader, do not get the impression that we are opposed to just and proper laws.

The underlying purpose is to provoke men to evil deeds that sin may be made profitable. The greatest commerce in the world today is in the execution of criminal laws.

What is the great mystery concealed from all but the chosen few? It must be something of tremendous importance that it has been kept a profound secret for twenty centuries.

Ask Ecclesiasticism why it swept the earth to find, seize and destroy all evidences of scientific learning which existed ages before the launching of the Christian enterprise.

Ask it why it has been the open enemy to scientific research, and why the persecution of learned men was a part of its program from the very beginning of its usurped power.

Ask it why it is viciously opposed to natural evolution, a principle absolutely essential to give sense to its own pretensions.

Then ask it to reveal the process by which it received from its God the message to negotiate peace with these hated and reviled human tendencies, in recent times.

The only answer you will receive will be a silence so eloquent you may hear it speak.

This is its trail, in the dragging down into a common level of stupidity the whole human race.

The church is the mother of avarice, greed and monopoly ; it preaches forgiveness and secretly inspires hatred and vengeance; it preaches charity and takes all it can coerce out of humanity, erecting great and imposing wealth for its own glorification, and it is the most self-centered and selfish organization ever instituted by men. All grounded upon absurd mystery and superstitious fear of the unknown. Its pious front is but a cheap veneer to conceal endless faults and inconsistent attitudes.

We are now going to ruthlessly tear away the "purple veil" of this monstrosity. We are going to reveal this mystery which is nothing but Chemistry, Astronomy and Physiology taught by learned men, whose recorded truths they trampled in the ashes of their burning bodies.

The whole Christian scheme is concealed in Genesis, but so adroitly veiled in a confusion of senseless jargon, it only may be interpreted by the initiated.

We shall condense the revelation in as small a space as possible.

We warn the reader in advance, that as a story, or as history, every word in the old testament is fable, and pure fiction; therefore, when we refer to names or places we merely refer
