history bible



history bible,” and you will need to be very cautious when looking for clues. It was written in the 4th century, and was altered numerous times by the Church. That is the real reason the book was banned. This is the same story as today. The same arguments are used. “Why did the people stop believing the Bible? It was full of contradictions!” But today, we have much more sophisticated methods of looking for such contradictions. As I show in The Lost Messiah, no contradictions exist. And there are many other stories that reveal that Christianity is a “witness” religion, and not a “tradition” one. That is something that must be explained to modern Christians. In this blog post, I will mention three stories, and leave it up to you to explore more on your own, as this will reveal more about Christianity today. 1. It’s Not Who You Are But Who You Know Matthew chapter 10, Jesus tells a story about a group of Pharisees. They want to be known. They are proud of their achievements. They are a learned group, who know the scriptures, and how to interpret them. And they want to look good before the Pharisees in Jerusalem. And, when Jesus explains the “witness” of God’s work, that is something that they cannot come up with. They are proud of their own knowledge, but this is something that God is doing. Jesus says that they “heard of God’s deeds” – he didn’t say anything about them reading. It isn’t about what they know. But, rather about who they are related to. Because, remember Jesus said, “If you do the will of my Father, you will know… and you will know the truth…” (John 8:18). That is the difference between God’s witness to us, and man’s knowledge. As Jesus says, “If you believe, you will understand.” 2. The Book of Mormon The other witness in Mormonism is the Book of Mormon. A prophet by the name of Joseph Smith translated a ancient book and the Church was “founded” on that “translation.” The Book of Mormon was written on golden plates in America. Smith and his followers claimed that these plates were found by him in the hill Cumorah, in upstate New York, and that this happened in 1827. What does Mormonism claim about the origin of their book? Well, they claim that it came from a translator in 600 BC, in America. And that the translator wrote on golden plates, but that he was so “illiterate” that he wrote in another language (reformed Egyptian). And that the translator translated and revealed the content of the book to his son. And that son translated and published the book in 1830. It is a story that was written to look very “real,” and a story that cannot be found anywhere in the bible. So, what does Mormonism say about the origin of the Bible? Not a thing. 3. The Book of Abraham Of course, the third one was the most exciting one for me. Because of this one, I changed my view on Mormonism. Mormonism was one of the first “traditions” I started researching, and the most difficult one. I even wrote an article about it on this website, but I want to share some of my first experiences here. In the beginning of Mormonism, the book of Abraham, was published as a part of the Bible, and Mormon leaders claimed that this was from Genesis. A translation of the Genesis account. However, as the time went on, this was changed. It was no longer a part of the Bible, and it was taken out of the canon of scriptures. Today, many of these copies are sold at the Mormon religion’s headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah. But, how did this book come to the Mormon church? This was first discovered in 1829, by a group of Mormon missionaries. They found a copy of the book in the Illinois State Historical Library. Then, when a certain church member read it, and tried to compare it to the Hebrew scriptures, he found some huge and shocking differences. But, the missionary team decided to publish the book on their own, and made a lot of false claims about how it was translated. In 1850, the church’s official journal published the publication of the book, and it gave a lot of false claims. And, that’s how the book became
