Jesus Christ.
If the clergymen tell you that there is only one christ, politely
present them with the seal of Belial. Each of the principal religions
had twelve christs. Christ was never crucified, but the human race was
crucified by religion from its very inception, and the Christian world
wallowed in the Egyptian darkness of ignorance and superstition till in
the middle ages, the golden age, no king in Europe could read and write.
Christ is the same as Agni, the sun god of the Aryans, who was called
the Son of God and the Son of Man. The god Agni is represented by us by
the idol, the Agnus Dei, the Ram God, that holds in his hoof a cross and
some banner, perhaps the blood-stained banner of the Inquisition. Adam
Kadmon, Enoch, Horus, Krishna, Ormazd, and Hermes, the patron of thieves
and flocks, the son of Deus and Maia, these and many other gods are all
identical with christ. Noah was the christ that came in the sign of the
Waterman 25,868 years ago. In the Babylonian legend the deluge continued
seven days, and the ship landed on Mt. Niser. This is a resurrection of
the great god Dionysius or Bacchus, and the first thing he did when he
got ashore was to get drunk. He is also Jehovah Nissi or the Egyptian
god Osiris who was born on Mt. Nissa or Sinai in the month of Nisan or
Easter.
Sephir Toldos Jeshu, a Kabalist, says: “A virgin named Mariam, betrothed
to one Johannan was outraged by another man named Joseph Panther. Her
betrothed left her. The child born was Jesus, named Joshua, adopted by
his uncle Rabbi Jehosuah. He was initiated into the secret doctrines by
Rabbi Elhanan, a Kabalist, and then by the Egyptian priests, who
consecrated him High Pontiff of the Universal Secret Doctrine. Upon his
returning to Judea his learning and powers excited the jealousy of the
rabbis, and they publicly reproached him with his origin and insulted
his mother.”
According to the Pretevangelium Jacobi, “From her third to her twelfth
year Mary was in the Temple. When she became of nubile age, lest she
should defile the Sanctuary of the Lord, she was committed to the
guardianship of Joseph, an elderly man and a widower with a family. When
the Virgin’s pregnancy was discovered, Joseph and she were brought
before the high priest, and though asserting their innocence in all
sincerity, were acquitted only after they had been tried with the water
of the ordeal of the Lord.”—Ency. Brit. 15:590. Mary was then a virgin
and ever after remained so, although she had other children.
The author does not believe that either of the above passages refers to
the Christian Jesus. He is an Egyptian or Hindu deity, not a Jew.
The christs were all illegitimate. Their parents, the sun and moon,
would have complied with the idiotic human laws if there had been any
magistrate in Heaven to marry them. There was Asphalius of Greece, born
of the Virgin Ethra out of wedlock. Then there are Romulus and Remus,
alias Castor and Pollux or Gemini, the Twins of the zodiac. They were
sons of a Vestal Virgin named Rhea. King Amulius, corresponding with
Herod, commanded his servant to destroy the two children, but the
servant put them in a trough or ark, and they floated on the river as
Moses, who was also a christ, did in his ark, and as the males and
females did in Noah’s Ark. Their mother claimed that their father was
the god Mars. Unmarried ladies, in those halcyon days, always put their
children up to the gods.—See Plutarch, 1:33.
Christ is a mythical sun-god, a rebirth of the sun in a new sign of the
zodiac. The Church Fathers, in localizing the Christ in the Holy Land,
could claim that any Jesus of that region was the Son of God, either
Jesus, the bandit of Galilee, or the one described above, as long as his
name corresponded with the I E S of Egypt, and as long as he was dead
and could not defend himself. According to Josephus, the Jesus that
lived in the reign of King Agrippa and Herod the Tetrarch was Jesus of
Galilee, the captain of a band of robbers, a wicked man, a seditious
person and an innovator, the leader of a tumult of mariners and poor
people. He sacked the temple at Samaria. See Life of Josephus, 5.
Renan says that Philo, who died about 50 A. D., and who was born before
Jesus, and who lived in Palestine during the alleged preaching of
Christ, had never heard of him. Josephus does not mention a Christian
sect at all. The Emperor Adrian called the Christians worshippers of
Serapis, and that was probably the truth. Serapis is the Devil, with
horns, Lord of the Underworld.
Christna, Apollo, Zeus and others, like Christ, were good shepherds. The
Hindus represent Christna as crucified on the cross between two thieves,
with the nail marks in his hands, and with a crown of seven points to
show that he is the seventh avatar. His father was a carpenter, and he
slew the great serpent Caliva and was worshipped in India ages before
the Christian Era.
The doctrine of Christ and the atonement originated in heathendom. It
came from the pagan sacrificers of human beings and the eaters of human
flesh in human gore imbued. They took the doctrine from the Chaldean
Kabala. It is a pagan myth. Bacchus or Dionysius was the god of the
vine, and his worshippers drank his blood to wash their sins away. He
was the son of Deus or Zeus and an earthly mother. He was slain or
sacrificed at the winter solstice and went down into Hell. Hera, who
corresponds with Herod, sought Bacchus to slay him. He was honored by
festivals at Christmas, when the sun died, and at Easter when it was
resurrected. His emblems were the bull, the ass and the goat. The
Christians of Rome were ridiculed for worshipping an ass-headed god. The
symbol of the Bacchic orgies is named Eva or Heva, identical with the
serpent raised by the Hebrews in the wilderness. Heva means a female
serpent and constitutes a part of god, the second part of the name
Yaheva. The first part of that hermaphrodite god is Ya, the male, and
the last part is Heva, the female, or serpent, or Devil.
Christ not only never rose from the dead, but he never existed. The
doctrine of vicarious atonement is a lie and a farce. The Christian’s
hope of escaping Hell by cowardly allowing another to suffer for his
sins, has taken wings and flown away.
The Gnostics, one of the earliest Christian sects, formerly called
Essenes, claimed that Christ was a phantom, that he was neither born nor
suffered on the cross. See Book of All Religions, 213. Origen believed
the same. He tells of the popular irrational Christianity based on the
fictitious gospel history devised to assist the masses, who could not
comprehend a spiritual christ.—Mystic Christianity, 211.
Madam Blavatsky says that this abominable doctrine of the forgiveness of
sins is the cause of three fourths of the crimes of so-called
Christians. The murdered victim goes to Hell in the midst of his sins,
but the murderer receives absolution and goes to Heaven and sits with
Christ beside the Golden Throne. The Parsis say: “If any of you commit
sin under the belief that he shall be saved by somebody, both the
deceiver as well as the deceived shall be damned to the day of Rasla
Khaz. There is no savior. In the other world you shall receive the
return according to your actions. Your savior is your good deeds.” Plato
says in 2-187: “Even if there are gods, they can be bribed by prayers
and offerings, so it is better to be unjust and offer of the fruits of
injustice to the gods. By our sinning and praying and praying and
sinning, the gods will be propitiated, and we shall be forgiven.”
The Jews offered seven lambs at the new moon because the Lamb came seven
times. It is to be noted that they gave none of the offering to God
except the refuse, the extremities and the fat and the lobe of the
liver, but the priests had the breast and the right shoulder. The Lord
and the mob were welcome to the offal.
We are saved by the blood of christ or Priapus, but the Jews were saved
by the blood of the circumcision of Abraham, who was also a christ.
“Abraham was circumcised on the day of the atonement, and God looks that
day annually on the blood of the covenant of our father Abraham’s
circumcision as atoning for all our iniquities.”—Talmud Yalcut Chadish,
fol. 121, sec. 3.
When the young and beautiful philosopher, Hypatia, disclosed these
sacred religious secrets in Egypt about 412 A. D., she was torn from her
chariot by a Christian mob, dragged to a Christian church, stripped
naked and ravished at the very feet of the idol of Christ, and then
beaten to death by Peter, the Reader. Her body was cut into pieces, the
flesh scraped from the bones with oyster shells, and the remnants cast
into the fire by the order of the canonized saint, Bishop Cyril of
Alexandria.—Ency. Brit. 12:596.
A Nazar or Nazarene, according to Hosea, was one who had consecrated
himself to Bosheth, (a shameful thing, a foul idol.) It was in Nazareth
that the Nazarenes anciently held their Witches’ Sabbath. Bosher is the
Hebrew name of the Tree of Infamy. The “Sod of the Kadishim,” Psalms,
89:7, is rendered by the translators “Assembly of the Saints,” when it
was in truth an orgy of the ladies devoted to the service of the Temple.
Sod was the name given to the vile assemblies in the ancient Mysteries
in Sodom, and the nature of the sacred ceremonies may be gathered from
the name. They were the same as those of the ancient Christian Agape or
Love Feast.
It is claimed that Apollonius of Tyana was the original of Christ, for
the former was worshipped in Rome in the third century as the savior of
man, and that no such person as Jesus Christ was then known. There was a
sect that worshipped the Hindu Christos. Their religion was a mixture of
Buddhism and Platonism, and their chief symbol was the phallic cross
within the circle. The Christian religion takes its name and symbols
from this Hindu religion. See Antiquity Unveiled, 98. Lucian says that
the Christians spoke of Apollonius, called in Romans Apollos, as a god
and took him for a lawgiver, and honored him with the title of Master.
Prior to the sixth Ecumenical Council, 680 A. D., the Christians
worshipped an animal idol, the lamb on a cross, but it was found from
ancient monuments that the pagans had worshipped the same idol. So the
Council decreed that the figure of a man should be placed on the cross,
Christ was not nailed to the cross until 680 A. D. and then by the
Ecumenical Council.—Idem 161.
The pagan priests, at a very early date in the present era, finding that
they were losing their hold on the people, concocted from pagan
originals a new religion called the Christian. As a sop to the depraved
and besotted worshippers of virgin-born gods, they alleged that their
god was born of the Virgin Mary, and they seized upon and falsified the
Hindu gospels, containing the life of Buddha, till they were made to
appear to apply to the life of Christ. In order to bolster up this foul
imposition and conceal the origin of Christianity, they destroyed the
records of Grecian, Egyptian and Roman civilization and sank the world
in darkness for a thousand years, filling it with woe and bloodshed. The
success of this crime against their fellowmen set back the hands of time
two thousand years. See Doubts of Infidels.
The doctrine of blood atonement came from Phoenicia, where they
continually indulged in human sacrifice. In the event of an eclipse of
the sun, the priests burned a man on a cross at the altar of the sun-god
to avert the threatened calamity. “From the sixth hour there was
darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.” And on these altars,
2600 B. C., was I H S or I E S. As the E or H in Egyptian hieroglyphics
is a circle, this sign was originally I O S. I represents the father
god, and O the mother god, and S represents the son or serpent. The
serpent was crucified on the cross by the Egyptians and Jews as a saving
rite.
At the church festival of Tezcatlipoca in Mexico, they chose a prisoner
as the incarnate representative of god and placed a garland and an
embroidered mantle upon him, as the Jews did on Christ. Then they led
him to the temple, where the priest cut his heart out and held the
sacred bleeding heart up to the sun, and his body was eaten by the
church members, as we eat the body of our Savior.
Rev. Robert Taylor says in his Diegesis: “Not a single passage written
in the first century can be produced from any independent authority to
show the existence of such a person as Jesus Christ or his disciples.”
The silence of all contemporary writers respecting Jesus Christ is a
notorious fact. Philo, Seneca, Plutarch, Juvenal, Virgil, Horace, Ovid
and Lucian, who lived in that period, make no allusion to his works, nor
even mention his name.—Doubts of Infidels, 66.
The christ Prometheus died for the salvation of the world and was nailed
on the cross many hundreds of years before the Christian Era. And the
christ Esculapius, the Great Physician, healed the sick and raised the
dead and died in the West and rose again in the East.
Jonah was a christ or sun-god. The sign of the Goat in the Buddhist
zodiac is represented by a leviathan or whale vomiting out the sacred
Elephant, or sun, or Son of God. When the sun entered the sign of the
Leviathan in December it was swallowed by the whale, but was vomited out
again three days later on the 25th of December, when the sun commenced
to return. Hence the story of Jonah and the whale, which has been so
hard to swallow, and which has taxed our piety to the limit.
Ies is the Phoenician name of the god Bacchus. Ies, or Iesu, or Jesus
was stolen from the Phoenicians and Egyptians, and the god Christos was
taken from the Hindus and thrown together into the melting pot of
Potoman of Alexandria, and out came Jesus Christ. Potoman compiled the
Christian religion from Hindu, Greek and Egyptian originals.
If God made man in his own image, why does he have to be redeemed? It is
true that man stubbed his toe and fell, but it was because he obeyed the
command of God to increase and multiply. The Yogis claim that Christ was
not virgin born, but was a virgin spirit split off of God and came to
redeem the world. If he redeemed the world, how is it that the people
are worse now than they ever were, that the history of his religion has
been a history of depravity, vice, crime, murder and carnage, which has
now culminated in a world-orgy of savagery, pillage and slaughter, of
which the fiends in Hell would be incapable? How is it that the beasts,
which have never been redeemed, the doves, the rabbits, the lambs, the
deer, are far superior to us who were bought by the blood?
