+## HEBREW MATTHEW - Shem Tob - du Tillet - Munster
+
+From: Http://oneinmessiah.net/HEBREWMATTHEW.htm
+
+Info on this page taken from my studies, www.seekgod.ca/roodnewsflash.htm,
+by Vicky Dillen and a good brother in the Lord, [[Richard Rives]]. His website
+is https://www.toolong.com, check it out!
+
+Beware of those who present the Shem Tob version of Matthew as an accurate
+representation of a manuscript.
+
+Many believers in Messiah Yeshua are being led by unbelievers to accept an
+unscriptual version of pseudo Hebrew Matthew which was found as a part of a
+polemic document entitled Eban Bohan. This document was authored by Shem
+Tob, an unbelieving Jewish theologian.
+
+Many unbelievers are going around the country promoting this trash.
+
+Quoting Professor George Howard, translator of Shem Tob:
+
+    In regard to theology, Shem-tob’s Hebrew Matthew is heretical
+    according to the standard of traditional Christianity. It never
+    identifies Jesus with the Messiah. John the Baptist is given an
+    exalted role (even takes on messianic traits), --- Shem-Tob’s text
+    envisions the salvation of the Gentiles only in the Messianic era.
+
+Shem Tob ben Shaprut of Tudela Castle - Spain, 1385 - 14th Century.
+Wrote a polemical work against Christianity entitled Eben Bohan (The
+Touchstone). Matthew is a separate chapter of Eben Bohan.
+A cursive manuscript of Eben Bohan can be found at the Jewish Theological
+Seminary of America - New York.
+
+Jean du Tillet - Catholic Bishop of Brieux France:
+From a manuscript found at Rome among the Jews in 1553;
+Used by Jehovah’s witnesses. James Trim translated du Tillet
+
+Sebastian Munster
+1537 confiscated from the Jews.
+Some think Munster and du Tillet to be from the same source. Munster
+filled in missing portions and made no notes as to which parts he added.
+
+Shem Tob and du Tillet are different texts. They do not always agree.
+
+Munster disagrees with Shem Tob. They do not always agree.
+
+Jerome speaks of a Hebrew Matthew among the Nazarenes in Jordan who fled
+Jerusalem. Jerome quotes that text and Professor George Howard who
+translated Shem Tob says that Jeromes quotes do not match Shem Tob.
+
+Epiphanius quotes Ebionite Hebrew Matthew. His quotes do not match Shem Tob.
+
+The tetragrammaton does not appear in Shem Tob or in du Tillet.
+In Shem Tob it is written as Heh or Heh and two Yods signifying Ha Shem or
+The Name.
+In du Tillet it is written as three Yods.
+
+### SCRIPTURAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SHEM TOB AND THE GREEK MAJORITY TEXTS AS REPRESENTED IN THE ENGLISH KING JAMES VERSION OF THE BIBLE
+
+Never identifies Yeshua / Jesus as Messiah.
+
+Mat 1:1 "the generation of Jesus Christ"
+
+Shem Tob "the generations of Jesus ( )"
+
+-----------
+
+Never identifies Jesus as Messiah.
+
+Mat 1:18 "now the birth of Jesus Christ"
+
+Shem Tob "birth of Jesus ( )"
+
+-----------
+
+The fact that Yeshua / Jesus "shall save His people" omitted
+
+Mat 1:21 "thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from
+their sins"
+
+Shem Tob "he shall save my people from their sins"
+
+-----------
+
+Non-Biblical - Rabbinical reference
+
+Mat 4:9 "all these things will I give if thou wilt fall down and worship me"
+
+Shem Tob "if you bare your head to me"
+
+-----------
+
+Jewish sages given equal status with Yeshua / Jesus
+
+Mat 7:29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
+
+"Preaching with great power not as the rest of the sages."
+
+-----------
+
+Reference to the coming kingdom removed
+
+Mat 6:10 "Thy kingdom come"
+
+Shem Tob "may your kingdom be blessed"
+
+-----------
+
+Forgiveness of sin by Yeshua / Jesus removed
+
+Mat 9:2 "thy sins be forgiven thee"
+
+Shem Tob "It is by the faith of God that your sins have been forgiven"
+
+-----------
+
+The gospel set aside
+
+Mat 11:5 "the poor have the gospel preached to them"
+
+Shem Tob "the poor are aquited"
+
+-----------
+
+Elevation of John the Baptist over Yeshua / Jesus
+
+Mat 11:11 - 11:13 "For all the prophets and the law spoke concerning John"
+as opposed "prophesied until John".
+
+Mat 21:32 "Because John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did
+not believe him."
+
+In Shem Tob - addressed to the disciples instead of the chief priests and
+elders.
+
+Quoting Professor George Howard, translator of Shem Tob:
+
+In summary, this series of readings asserts that none is greater than John,
+the prophets and the law spoke concerning John, John (Elijah) is to save all
+the world, and Jesus’ own disciples are disgraced for not having believed
+John. In traditional Christianity such a description is usually applied to
+Jesus. Its application to John the Baptist in Shem Tobs Hebrew, elevates the
+Baptist to a salvific (salvation) role.
+
+-----------
+
+The temple greater than Yeshua / Jesus
+
+Mat 12:6 "But I say unto you, in this place is one greater than the temple"
+
+Shem Tob "the temple is greater than this"
+
+-----------
+
+Mat 13:11 "it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of
+heaven, but to them it is not given"
+
+Shem Tob "to know the kingdom of heaven"
+
+-----------
+
+Man sows seed instead of the son of man:
+
+Mat 13:37 "He that soweth the good seed is the son of man"
+
+Shem tob "the one who sows good seed is man"
+
+-----------
+
+Possible Talmudic influence - Toldoth Yeshu?
+
+Mat 13:55 "Is this not the carpenters son? Is not his mother called Mary?"
+
+"Is this not the son of the smith and Mary?"
+
+-----------
+
+*** James is left out as brother of Jesus in the Shem Tob - Possible
+elevation of James
+
+Mat 14:6 In Shem Tob Herods daughter danced - not Herodias’ daughter -
+Qumran scrolls condemn niece marriage - Jewish leaders of the time practiced
+it.
+
+-----------
+
+Possible Talmudic Influence: Doctrine of the Pharisees unquestioned
+
+Mat 16:12 Told to beware the doctrine of the Pharisees..."
+
+Shem Tob "beware of the behavior of the Pharisees..."
+
+-----------
+
+Salvation by Elijah rather than Yeshua / Jesus
+
+Mat 17:11 "Elijah shall truly shall first come and restore all things"
+
+Shem Tob "Elijah will come and save all the world"
+
+-----------
+
+Salvation by way of "The Son of man" deleted
+
+Mat 18:11 "The Son of man is come to save that which was lost"
+
+Shem Tob "the son of man has stopped saving the enemy"
+
+-----------
+
+Possible Talmudic Implications:
+
+Mat 18:18 "Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and
+whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven"
+
+Shem Tob applies this scripture to being bound or loosed from oaths taken -
+Day of Atonement - Col Nidre Prayer - implications ????
+
+Shem Tob "every oath which you shall bind on earth is bound in heaven and
+every oath which you shall loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
+
+-----------
+
+Worldly material wealth rather than heavenly treasure
+
+Mat 19:22 "Went away sorrowful for he had great possessions"
+
+Shem Tob "went away angry because he did not have much property"
+
+-----------
+
+Mat 19:28
+
+"When the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory"
+
+"when man sits upon the throne of his glory"
+
+-----------
+
+Mat 20:30
+
+"When they heard the Jesus passed by"
+
+"the prophet Jesus from Nazareth is coming"
+
+-----------
+
+The preaching of the gospel as a witness concerning Yeshua / Jesus "is the
+Anti-Christ and this is the abomination which desolates.
+
+Mat 24:14-16 "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the
+world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. When ye
+therefore shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the
+prophet stand in the holy place (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then
+let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains."
+
+Shem Tob "And this gospel, that is, evungili, will be preached un all the
+earth for a witness concerning me to all the nations and then the end will
+come. This is the Anti-Christ and this is the abomination which desolates.
+Then those who are in Judaea let them flee to the mountains."
+
+-----------
+
+"Son of man" replaced by "the bridegroom."
+
+Mat 25:13 ...day not the hour wherein the Son of man cometh"
+
+Shem Tob "...day nor hour when the bridegroom comes."
+
+-----------
+
+Possible Talmudic implications
+
+Mat 26:2 "...the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified"
+
+Shem Tob "delivered into the hand of the Jews for the gallows"
+
+Mat 27:23 "Let him be crucified"
+
+Shem Tob "let them hang him"
+
+Mat 27:31 "led him away to crucify him"
+
+Shem Tob "gave orders to hang him"
+
+"The Cross" is in parenthesis as if it needed to be connected with the word
+gallows.
+
+Mat 27:32 "him they compelled to bear his cross"
+
+Shem Tob "compelled him to carry the gallows, that is "The Cross"
+
+Mat 27:40-42 "Come down from the cross"
+
+Shem Tob v.40 "come down from the gallows" - v.42 "come down from the tree"
+
+Mat 28:5 "ye seek Jesus who was crucified"
+
+"Shem Tob "Jesus who was hung"
+
+-----------
+
+Not the King of the Jews but the King of Israel
+
+Mat 27:37 "THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS"
+
+Shem Tob "This is Jesus of Nazareth the King of Israel"
+
+-----------
+
+Mat 27:46 "with a loud voice"
+
+Shem Tob "in the holy language" (Hebrew ?)
+
+-----------
+
+Mat 27:57 "a rich man of Arimathea"
+
+Shem Tob "A rich man from Karnasiah came . His name was Joseph…"
+
+-----------
+
+Mat 27:59 "when Joseph had taken the body he wrapped it in a clean linen
+cloth"
+
+Shem Tob "wrapped it in a very fine silk garment"
+
+-----------
+
+Mat 28:9 - Shem Tob has Jesus substituting YHWH with "Ha Shem" Traditional
+Jewish greeting rather than Greek/Roman greeting as is found in majority
+manuscripts
+
+"Jesus met them saying All Hail"
+
+"saying May the Name deliver you"
+
+-----------
+
+Shem Tob has 12 disciples going to Galilee after Judas was dead
+
+Mat 28:16 "Then the eleven disciples went away unto Galilee"
+
+"when his twelve disciples came to Galilee"
+
+-----------
+
+"I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world" - left out
+
+Mat 28:20 - Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded
+you: and, lo "I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world" Amen
+
+Shem Tob - and teach them to carry out all the things which I have commanded

+## How Do We know Virgin Birth Account was not Originally Present? 
+
+From https://jesuswordsonly.com/topicindex/225-virgin-birth-issues.html
+
+The one most important fact staring us in the face is the line of the
+geneaology itself. Both Matthew and Luke are spending verse after
+verse tracing Joseph's lineage, only to have one line at the end stop
+short of Joseph begetting Jesus. This makes utterly no sense.
+Friedrich Delitzsch in 1908, a theologian, rhetorically asks 'why did
+Matthew or Luke bother to trace as they did if it originally ended
+with Mary as the sole human procreator of Jesus?' He wrote:
+
+
+    Common sense teaches us that these genealogies, whose sole aim is
+    to prove that Jesus is the son and descendent of David through
+    Joseph, the son and descendent of David, would be absolutely
+    meaningless and useless if Joseph had not been the father of Jesus
+    according to the flesh, if his fatherhood were only in appearance
+    and Jesus were [only] a son of Mary. (F. Delitzsch, Whose Son is
+    Christ?: Two Lectures on Progress in Religion (1908) at 35.)
+
+In Luke's account it is even more obvious that the virgin birth is not
+original. First, just as in Matthew, the 'begat' verse is out of place
+with the line of descent which Luke presents for Joseph, not
+Mary. Also, the virgin birth account appears elsewhere mentioned in
+just one verse in Luke's gospel. So if you removed the genealogy
+ending and that single verse, you would have no idea that Luke
+believed in a virgin birth of Jesus. Finally, what makes it more
+obvious an editor added the virgin birth account to Luke's Gospel is
+the presence of the story in Luke 8:19-21.
+
+This later passage in Luke which surely is authentic makes it
+extraordinarily hard to believe Mary experienced a miraculous virgin
+birth as recorded in Luke 1:35. For in Luke 8:19-21, it is clear that
+Jesus' family regards that Jesus has gone over the deep-end and do not
+believe in Him.
+
+(In the Mark version, Mark says Jesus' family thought he had gone
+"crazy" -- including his mother.)
+
+In fact, Mary is among those outside who are understood to fit in this
+category. The same is self-evident in Mark 3:31 where the same scene
+is depicted -- Jesus' mother and siblings come to get him, and Jesus'
+spurns them because He prefers the persons who fit the criteria of his
+true family in Mark 3:34-35 which in their hearing was:  
+
+    And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said,
+    Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of
+    God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother. Cf. Luke 8:21.
+    
+If Mary had really experienced a divine birth of Jesus, why would Mary
+be apart from Jesus' ministry? Be thinking He was a bit touched? Why
+would Jesus spurn his own mother, and call members of a crowd more a
+mother to him than his own birth mother?
+
+Thus, we know the single line added to Luke to mention a virgin birth
+was a later editor's hand. It was not skillful enough to think to
+erase Luke 8:19-21 which was at direct odds with the single-line addition.
+
+In fact, here is Tertullian in the 200s unwittingly proving this point
+in his discussion of Luke 8:19-21. Tertullian is not comparing this
+passage to the virgin birth story to show how paradoxically it tells
+us that Mary was a nonbeliever. However, we can borrow Tertullian's
+point to see Luke would not have recorded a virgin birth account and
+tell this story in Luke 8:19-21 as it exists now, but certainly not in
+how Luke read in the early 200s when Tertullian summarizes it.
+They 100% do not fit together.
+
+Tertullian from the early 200s AD begins his comment on this passage
+by reasoning that the Gospel portrays a very realistic situation that
+can happen in any family where no one respects you. Tertullian
+explained:
+
+ 
+    "The Lord's brethren had not yet believed in Him." [Quoting Luke.]
+    So is it contained in the Gospel which was published before
+    Marcion's time; whilst there is at the same time a want of
+    evidence of His mother's adherence to Him, although the Marthas
+    and the other Marys were in constant attendance on Him. In this
+    very passage indeed, their unbelief is evident. Jesus was teaching
+    the way of life, preaching the kingdom of God and actively engaged
+    in healing infirmities of body and soul; but all the while, whilst
+    strangers were intent on Him, His very nearest relatives were
+    absent. (Tertullian, The Flesh of Christ, ch. 5.)
+
+ 
+
+Hence, we can take Tertullian's analysis and use it to question the
+presence of the virgin birth story in Luke's original Gospel. How can
+Mary, if she truly experienced a virgin birth and the
+angel-explanation have been a non-believer, as Luke records? Also,
+wouldn't Mary have told Jesus' brothers and sisters of this miraculous
+birth so as to have them acknowledge Jesus as Messiah? But they too
+are described as non-believers—as if no miraculous birth ever touched
+this family. Thus, is it so hard to realize that if you remove just
+one verse from Luke (besides the last ‘begat' from Mary alone), the
+virgin birth account entirely disappears.
+
+Because the presence of the virgin birth story is so incongruous with
+Luke 8:19-21, it appears the virgin birth account was a one-line
+addition to Luke's Gospel. It was an inauthentic editorial
+change. Both it and the genealogy in Luke are not original.
+
+Similarly, in Luke 2:41-42, Mary says to Jesus that she and "your
+father" were worried when they lost track of him. Would Mary think to
+call Joseph Jesus' father unless he truly were? Also, when Jesus
+responds and says he was about his "Father's" business, neither Joseph
+nor Mary understood what Jesus meant. Does that make sense if a virgin
+birth happened, and angelic messengers spoke as they supposedly did to
+advise of its importance, as recorded supposedly earlier? Obviously
+not. Hence, the virgin birth account in Luke mismatches other portions
+of Luke, indicating a successful early -- pre-325 AD -- corruption.
+
+And if we regard the Ebionites as the custodians of the earliest
+Matthew in Hebrew, prior to the Greek translation, then the recording
+in 180, 236 and when the Syriac Sinaiticus of Agnes Lewis (200s) of
+having the view Joseph begat Jesus is just one more proof of how the
+Gospel of Matthew originally read.
+<!-- For the Ebionites' View on the Birth of Jesus, see our article "Ebionites." -->
+
+
+=== Scholar Affirms That Later Editor Deliberately Corrupted Text to Add Virgin Birth 
+
+
+This is agreed upon by J.R. Wilkinson - a renown Christian scholar of
+his day -- in his article "Mr. Conybeare's Textual Theories, Hibbert
+Journal, October 1902, p. 96," Hibbert' Journal (1904) at 354 et seq. 
+We read at page 358 (link) the following text:
+
+    The reading of Syrus Sinaiticus [of Agnes Lewis] Joseph to whom
+    was betrothed Mary the Virgin begat Jesus who was called the
+    Christ is clearly due to a mixture of the Western text with the
+    reading of the original genealogy. [Note: the Western text has the
+    virgin birth.] It carries us back to the early days when the
+    canonical gospel was competing with the source or sources from
+    which it was derived. We have here perhaps a conscious
+    corruption of the canonical text for we find that in Syriac
+    Sinaiticus agrees with the famous Old Latin manuscript in omitting
+    the words mix é y vwo xev a1i ri1v Ewg   [MY NOTE: verse 25,
+    'before they came together, found with child" omitted in Old Latin
+    and Syriac Sinaiticus thus proving the Older manuscripts did not
+    have virgin birth.] The reading of Syriac Sinaiticus [of 1:25]
+    here is he took his wife and she bore to him a son and he called
+    his name Jesus. The reading of Timothy and Aquila is as Schmiedel
+    says a confluence from the Textus Receptus [i.e., Virgin
+    Birth] and the original genealogy [i.e., "Joseph begat Jesus."]
+
+The article continues and weighs the possibility that the "canonical
+evangelist" (not Matthew) may have not been sure which way to go, and
+left traces of the original version -- Joseph begat Mary, while trying
+to conform to the newer virgin birth account. He calls the "Davidic
+Messiahship" idea was the "old Davidic idea" which was gradually being
+displaced by the newer "supernatural birth idea" in the mind of the
+"canonical evangelist" himself. The article ends suggesting that the
+"canonical evangelist" was not the original compiler of the sayings in
+Matthew, and that he used a version of Matthew "much in favor in the
+church" which had the older text, and then would "corrupt by mixture
+the old text," i.e., mixing mention of the "virgin Mary" in 1:16 with
+"Joseph begat Jesus." So now it reads in Syr Sinaiticus 1:16 partly in
+favor of a virgin birth and partly negating it.
+
+ 
+
+The scholar Wilkinson earlier had agreed on why we are compelled to
+believe both Matthew and Luke had to have something like "Joseph begat
+Jesus." Otherwise, the point of the geneologies is lost:
+
+    [355] The text of Syrus Sinaiticus [of Agnes Lewis] alone seems to
+    postulate such a clause [i.e., Joseph begat Jesus -- it is not
+    merely postulated but in the text]; and is it possible to believe
+    anyone would have taken the trouble to construct the long line of
+    natural descent if at the last step natural descent were to play
+    no part? This inconsistency is best seen in the geneaology of
+    St. Luke, where as Holtzmann [Ham-Kommentatur Zum N.T.] justly
+    remarks, it is absurd to assume an evangelist would take the
+    trouble to construct the long geneaology of our Lord through
+    Joseph, and then as it were, spoil all that he had done by adding
+    that Jesus was only "accounted" or supposed to the son of
+    Joseph. The construction of such genealogies presupposes natural
+    descent throughout. It is evident that in both St. Matthew and
+    Luke correction has taken place [356] (in the case of St. Luke a
+    very clumsy correction), so as to render these genealogies
+    consistent with a virgin birth.

+## Kjv Tampering
+
+The AV 1611 KJV has been tampered with to both major and minor extents,
+which adds to it's problems relative to the [[ChurchOfTheEastPeshitta]].
+Although they pale in comparison to the Wescott and Hort wholesale re-engineering,
+we collect some of them here for reference.
+
+### Major KJV Tampering
+
+The most major tampering in the KJV was by King James himself.
+When King James commissioned the King James Version, he decreed
+[15 principles of translation](https://petergoeman.com/15-rules-of-translation-for-the-king-james-version-kjv/index.html) which were instituted by
+Richard Bancroft, the bishop of London in 1604. The 3rd rule was:
+
+3. The Old Ecclesiastical Words to be kept, viz. the Word Church not
+   to be translated Congregation et. cetera.
+
+Rule 3 is a travesty of Tyndale's work. Whilst running and hiding and
+fleeing the agents of a sadistic English Lord Chancellor who wanted him dead,
+he still took the time to
+[write a book](https://archive.org/details/ananswertosirth00unkngoog/)
+back at the sadist defending his translation of ekklesia as "Congregation"
+not "the Word Church". The book explains in detail Tyndales's reasons for
+the critical choices of translation he made of the "et. cetera" words.
+These changes are major and systematic, and change the whole flavour of
+the KJV relative to a real Tyndale bible like Matthew's, which nonetheless
+are the root of the bibles that the KJV was made from (rules 1 and 14).
+
+As James wanted.
+
+As Tyndale gave his life to prevent.
+
+PS: The [PeshittA](https://www.thearamaicscriptures.com/matthews-gospel.tsv)
+uses Assembly, which my Greek speaking friends tell me is just as valid
+a translation for ekklesia as congregation, the former having less of
+a religious flavour. As in English: we congregate or we assemble.
+
+### Mid-sized KJV Tampering
+
+#### (1John 5:7-8) [Johannine_Comma]
+
+The Johannine Comma was added in Erasmus' 3rd edition, without explication,
+he having said explicitly before that he would not add it to his 2nd edition -
+["it was omitted in his first and second editions"](https://www.newtonproject.ox.ac.uk/view/texts/normalized/THEM00261).
+Someone got to him, as it is used to support the Trinity.
+
+Tyndale based his bible on the 2nd edition, perhaps because he was dead
+before the 3rd came out.
+
+Issac Newton wrote a
+[length essay](https://books.google.com/books/download/An_Historical_Account_of_Two_Notable_Cor.pdf?id=mQ4JOuiEMWoC&hl=en&capid=AFLRE72PWnGe-IIwNcNSvOOGTqYlJf46AzjFc6CaFaA00RnhM7pzY5r4CMYkPhgufJ0V-1dh5qUMlcmBAcBXkQsTlgEfMtCOxg&continue=https://books.google.com/books/download/An_Historical_Account_of_Two_Notable_Cor.pdf%3Fid%3DmQ4JOuiEMWoC%26output%3Dpdf%26hl%3Den)
+on it, which he called a pious fraud, but didn't dare publish the essay
+in England, because the fraud was then being used by the episcopals to
+support the Trinity.  Pious fraud was the best they could do, but they
+backed it up by up to life in prison for those who denied it. He saw what
+happened to his former protoge Whiston, who was more overtly honest.
+
+Whiston did not include the Johannine Comma in his
+[Whiston Primitive NT 1745 Bible](https://www.eswordlibrary.com/download/bblx/Whiston-Primitive-NT-1745.bblx)
+
+It's not in the [PeshittA](https://www.thearamaicscriptures.com/1st-john.html).
+
+#### (1 Timothy 3:16) 
+
+In the KJV (1Tim. 3:16) reads:
+
+; And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was
+ manifest in the flesh...
+
+Newton showed the word "God" was substituted to make the phrase read
+"God was manifest in the flesh" instead of "which was manifested in the flesh".
+Again the KJV has rewritten the bible to try to support the Trinity.
+
+The [PeshittA](https://www.thearamaicscriptures.com/1st-timothy.html) has:
+
+    And truly, great is this Mystery of Righteousness; The One

+whilst researching the [[HebrewMatthewShemTob]]. We find that we are essentially
+in complete accord with his theology as summarized by the following articles
+on his website:
+
+**EASTER**: The pagan festival of Easter originated as the worship of the sun
+goddess, the Babylonian Queen of Heaven who was later worshiped under many names
+including Ishtar, Cybele, Idaea Mater (the Great Mother), or Astarte for whom the
+celebration of Easter is named. Easter is not another name for the Feast of Passover

+wilderness by the creator Himself…

+**THE SUN GOD MITHRAS**: Mithras was the sun god of the Persians and subsequent
+empires including the Roman Empire through the 4th century. During the 4th century,
+Mithras “mysteriously” vanished and Roman “Christianity” began. A Christianity not

+combination of the Medes and the Persians. This combination took place under the

+all the pagan sun gods into one – “Sol Invictus.” A few years earlier, the Roman
+emperor Elogabalus had unsuccessfully attempted to make the worship of the sun god

+after Christ, gives us great insight into the use of the cross by the Romans. The

+of it by those calling themselves Christians as proof that what was being called

+of all  those calling themselves followers of God were found by Jesus to be of the
+“devil”, “serpents and vipers.” These people, although very religious, had through
+tradition, made God’s laws “of none effect.” Jesus told them: “Ye neither know me,
+nor my Father” yet they claimed the highest position of leadership and authority

+### Inspired by the Natural Order
+
+<!-- unabashedly copied from protarion.org -->

+* We celebrate the natural order of Creation and thank God he made
+  women and men so different; we vive-la-difference.
+* We promote a strong patriarchal hierarchy and work to get rid of modern communism.
+* We reject anything outside of heterosexual relationships as normal or acceptable.

+  Hate crime laws are being specifically applied to Christians, their intended target.
+* We reject transhumanism in all its forms. That means we reject *NA-altering
+  pharmaceutical products, AI front-ends that shirk human responsibility,
+  and changes to the rule-of-law that make them Android-friendly.
+* We reject almost all vaccines, as all the consequent harm is being systematically
+  denied, and the victims denigrated.
+* We must withdraw now from woked public education and work together to educate
+  our children, rather than putting them in the hands of globalist indoctorination.
+* We discourage social media and believe it cannot replace real human interaction,
+  with a real human sense of responsibility.

+* We can be seen as *Sola Scriptura* as we have no dogma unless rooted in the Canon.
+* We reject Constantine's usurpation of Christianity to create the "Church"
+  that suited his paganism:
+  * We are Anti- PontiFex Maximus, Anti- Sol Invictus, and above all, Anti- Mollech.
+  * Celbrate Hebrew and Christian holidays: Ephiphany; Pessach, Sukkoth.
+    We do not celebrate the birthday of Sol Invictus - Xmas.
+* We find that Constantinan "Churches" of today are anti-Christian:
+  * Directly paid by the government (e.g. FEMA); directly working for the enemy.
+  * Flying the wokely coloured flags to promote debauchery.
+  * They advocate big Government, big Sins, and big pHarma.
+  * The are often funded to be Zionist, and twist their theology to match.
+* We form congregations in Tyndale's sense of the word.
+* Our symbol is not the Cross, or the Chi-Rho; if we have one it is the Sword.
+
+### We are Discriminating in Bible Translations
+
+* We ask the question [[WastheNewTestamentReallyWritteninGreek]] and conclude
+  that the original language of the New Testament is the Hebrew dialect of Aramaic,
+  not Greek - and not just the [[EarlyEbioniteMatthew]]
+* We reject the "new improved" bibles based on the [[CodexSinaticusGreekFraud]],
+  and discriminate against the Calvinist and James' [[KjvTampering]],
+  relative to a better earlier Tyndale version: the Matthew's Bible.
+* We are prepared to do the textual criticism work needed to understand the
+  texts of the Bible, and reject blind or slavish adherence like KJV Onlyism.
+* Rather than restricting ourselves to one English translation, we try use a
+  [[OsisCommentary]] that can be read alongside any Bible with good bible software.
+  It is also much easier to translate a commentary into into other languages,
+  which may have similar, different texts.
