An Introduction

       The world has long considered the enigma of life and the true destiny of humanity.  Billions have turned to the Bible for understanding, great religions have been formed from it, great wars have been fought using its authority, and great debates are held over it.  It has been used for eminent good and unspeakable evil.  It is the most widely translated and distributed book in history, and it has spawned an uncountable and widely diverse number of separate beliefs throughout the ages.  Despite all the exposure it has gained, the reader will be shocked by how little is known of its core concepts, the depth of its content, the actual doctrines it teaches, and the principles its authors revealed. 

      Using a wealth of scriptural foundation, this work will open the mind to incredible truths never told, concepts never considered, and a realistic view of God never revealed.  It will empower the mind with a proof of mankind's true destiny, not yet realized, but long desired. It will disclose a maze of contradiction, a web of intellectual subterfuge, and the unimagined ignorance of its self-appointed authorities and those who use it falsely as a foundation for their power. It will also expose the terrible truth of a deception greater and more insidious than any ever imagined.

      Within this book, one will discover the amazing truth about whom and what God is, who Jesus was, what he is now, and the incredible gospel he preached.  The unimaginable destiny of humanity is revealed and documented in hundreds of verses comprising the most extensive collection ever assembled on this subject.  The manmade origin of our modern Bible-based religions is uncovered and the obliteration of any semblance of the true church Jesus founded is exposed.   The contradictory doctrines and practices of the church are detailed and the truth about those doctrines and practices are unveiled.  The beings of the Bible and their encounters and interactions with mankind are disclosed in a new light.  The anomalous creatures, paranormal phenomenon, and high technology are examined. This book will answer questions never asked and impart realities not conceived.  

      This work is undertaken with the knowledge that "Christianity" as a religion represents about one-third of the world's population, or approximately two billion people.  As this work points out a plethora of contradictions and additions in the doctrines and practices of Christianity, it will be assumed that the responsibility for this is directed at the members of the churches in that religion.  This is not our focus.  It is not the students, the lay persons, who learn these doctrines and practices, or even the teachers, the priests and ministers that indoctrinate the lay membership.  This work is directed at the very foundation of those beliefs established over the centuries beginning in the fourth Century AD with the Emperor Constantine. 

      From that point in history a concerted effort was undertaken to erase all traces of the doctrines, practices, and beliefs of the first church established by Jesus, the Christ.  Sadly, that effort was successful and the result is a church founded completely on the doctrines laid out by the early founders of the church. 

      With complete ignorance of this reality, the church proudly stands in the shadow of the pagan cross Constantine mandated as its symbol, claiming to be the true church of Jesus while teaching the doctrines of men.  They occupy buildings, preaching from pulpits to people in pews, none of which have scriptural basis, and all paid for with money given by those people under the mistaken belief they are following a scriptural mandate that does not exist.  They threaten a condemnation in hell or a reward in heaven, neither which are found in the Bible, if they do or do not follow laws also not found in the Bible.  They worship on a day when no such day of worship is found in scripture, and celebrate holidays with pagan origins which replaced the actual Holy Days that are found in scripture, but were outlawed by the Emperor Constantine.  They pray loudly and publicly when Jesus says to pray privately, and they let all the world know of their meager charitable efforts, also mandated to be done without such openness.  They ignore the reality of the God they claim to worship, misrepresent the character of the man that God became, and hide the true destiny of the people they claim to lead.  This work reveals the truth about all these hypocrisies, contradictions, and the manmade doctrines and practices, and presents the real concepts they replaced.  It is also presented with the epitome of scriptural caveats: "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." (I Thessalonians 5:21). 

      Neither this work, nor any serious quest for the truth in any area of life, should ever be approached without absolute dedication to this very solid principle.  All the concepts researched in this writing were carefully vetted scripturally for proper context and accuracy with the goal of enlightenment and edification only.  It is not intended to change the way the religious matters of this world are conducted, as that would be impossible with the power the church wields.  It is intended to present a clear view of how that power was gained, expose the contradictions of its authority, and reveal the amazing truths it hides from its followers. 

      Every concept presented here has been thoroughly researched.  The context of every scripture presented as evidence has been carefully considered.  The source of all scripture used in this work is from the Authorized King James Version of the Bible, the version most commonly used in the Protestant Church.  All translation is based on Strong's Exhaustive Concordance.  No commentaries or other theological treatise was used.  This will simplify any objective research into the context and integrity of the concepts introduced in this writing. 

      Where possible, the scriptures relating to a concept are presented within the main body of the book.  However, in the interest of convenience to the reader, where a higher volume of verses are present, and needed, they are contained in the Appendices.  The Appendices are a wealth of verses collected and categorized on the true gospel of Jesus, eternal life, love, wisdom, freedom, faith, power, plus many other topics, and are a most valuable treasure.  They contain the most revealing and complete collection of the grossly overlooked roles, importance, and value of Women in the Bible, and the Lost Books List is unique in its value, being perhaps the most extensive ever presented.  The Appendices are more than reference; they are a collection of biblical truths containing some of the highest knowledge ever given to humanity.     

      The charge of heresy is certain to be leveled at this work, and justifiably so.  The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines heresy as: 1 a : adherence to a religious opinion contrary to church dogma b : denial of a revealed truth by a baptized member of the Roman Catholic Church c : an opinion or doctrine contrary to church dogma  2 a : dissent or deviation from a dominant theory, opinion, or practice b : an opinion, doctrine, or practice contrary to the truth or to generally accepted beliefs or standards.

      Every aspect of this work is "contrary to church dogma", a "denial of a revealed truth", and a "dissent or deviation from a dominant theory" as presented by that church, and contradictory to "generally accepted beliefs or standards" held by those loyal to all Bible-based religions.  It is only by questioning the unquestionable authority of the church that these truths were revealed. What you are about to read will change your understanding of virtually everything biblical.  It is only by following the principle to "prove all things" that those truths will be validated.
