HOW CHRISTIANITY WAS INVENTED

Posted on January 21, 2012

Emperor Constantine

Christianity is a copycat religion created by Emperor Constantine (for political

purposes) based upon a myth (The Persian savior god Mithra, crucified 600 !C! " #00

!C!"), $hich $as based on other similar myths, all the $ay bac% to Chrishna of &ndia (a

mythical god that some claim $as 'crucified around *00 !C!)! There $ere 6 mythicalcrucifi+ions before Christ! The belief in the crucifi+ion of ods $as prevalent in various

oriental or heathen countries long prior to the reported crucifi+ion of Christ! -f the 6

crucifi+ions, most were born of a virgin and about half of them on December

25th.

There $ere too many religions in .ome in /* 1!2! 1 Council $as called in an endeavor

to amalgamate the many religions of the .oman Empire into one! Christianity

plagiari3ed older myths and legends historici3ed to suit the .oman Catholic Church

$hile combining the numerous religions e+isting at the time (4rishna, 5orus,

Mithraism, -sirian, &sis, and many other mystery religions)! or unity and to stop all

the conflicts bet$een the numerous religions7

Christianity was INVENTED!

Eusebius (ishop of Caesarea in Palestine 'ather of Church 5istory ') attended the

Council of 8icaea in /* 1!2! and $as a friend of Emperor Constantine, $ho also

attended and made the %eynote speech! Constantine instructed Eusebius to organi3e the

compilation of a uniform collection of ne$ $ritings developed from primary aspects of

the religious te+ts submitted at the council! Eusebius has been described as follo$s9

:acob urc%hardt (;th century cultural historian) dismissed Eusebius as the first

thoroughly dishonest historian of anti!uity! 5e has been also described as 'a

political theologian! 5e favored doctoring his history in his o$n $ords to 'be useful

first to ourselves and after$ards to posterity! Ed$ard ibbon (

&t is not possible to find in any legitimate religious or historical $ritings compiled

bet$een the beginning of the first century and $ell into the fourth century any reference

to :esus Christ and the spectacular events that the Church says accompanied his

life! This confirmation comes from rederic arrar (


5/7

The Church agrees, saying9

'-ur documentary sources of %no$ledge about the origins of Christianity and its earliest

development are chiefly the 8e$ Testament @criptures, the authenticity of $hich $e

must, to a great e+tent, ta%e for granted! (Catholic Encyclopedia, arley ed!, vol! iii, p!

L*)

The Church ma%es e+traordinary admissions about its 8e$ Testament! or e+ample,

$hen discussing the origin of those $ritings, 'the most distinguished body of academic

opinion ever assembled (Catholic Encyclopedias, Preface) admits that the ospels 'do

not go bac% to the first century of the Christian era (Catholic Encyclopedia, arley ed!,

vol! vi, p! /L, pp! 6?6)!

This statement conflicts $ith priesthood assertions that the earliest ospels $ere

progressively $ritten during the decades follo$ing the death of the ospel (sic) :esus

Christ! &n a remar%able aside, the Church further admits that, 'the earliest of the e+tant

manuscripts Aof the 8e$ TestamentB, it is true, do not date bac% beyond the middle of

the fourth century 12= (Catholic Encyclopedia, op! cit!, pp! 66?L)!

That is some /0 years after the time the Church claims that a :esus Christ $al%ed the

sands of Palestine, and here the true story of Christian origins slips into one of the

biggest blac% holes in history! There is, ho$ever, a reason $hy there $ere no 8e$

Testaments until the fourth century9 they $ere not $ritten until then, and here $e find

evidence of the greatest misrepresentation of all time! &t $as ritish?born lavius

Constantinus (Constantine, originally Custennyn or Custennin) (*L*?//L) $ho

authori3ed the compilation of the $ritings no$ called the 8e$ Testament!

0es, but what about references to the four &os%els su%%osedly before the

7rd Century ".D.1

8or e(am%le +hat about Tacitus, .oman 5istorian, $ho $rote about thepersecutions of the early 'Christians"

.egarding Tacitus, (@enator and 5istorian of the .oman Empire) these $ritings

supporting the persecution $ere mysteriously found in the th century in the forests of

ermany, follo$ing a re$ard offered by eo for old $ritings, and follo$ing a history

of forgeries in Catholicism9 &n any case, there has been serious Juestions about the

integrity of the famous passage about Christians!

rom9 http9II$$$!earlychristian$ritings!comItacitus!html

ordon @tein denied the authenticity of this passage, arguing9

() no corroborating evidence that 8ero persecuted the Christians

(*) there $as not a multitude of Christians in .ome at that date

(/) Christian $as not a common term in the first century

(#) 8ero $as indifferent to various religions in his city

(6) Tacitus does not use the name :esus

(L) Tacitus assumes his readers %no$ Pontius Pilate
