In the History of Mankind

by Johannes J.D Villion

Overview
This book is ‘’recommended Reading for Students of Comparative Religion.’’ and anyone interested in the truth, as it Deciphers Truth from Falsehood. Up until the 16th Century there were no translations of the Bible in English .When Tyndale translated the Bible into English he was declared a heretic, was hunted down and eventually strangled and burnt to death on October 6th, 1536. We can only conclude that this act of the Church was done because when the people read and under stood what was written in the Bible they refused to believe it as the Word of God. In similar manner, when Galileo invented the telescope and concluded that the world was round and revolved around the sun, he was also declared a heretic and killed as this theory (which later proved to be a fact) went against the teachings of the Bible that propounded the belief that the earth was flat and stationery.
Description
This book is ‘’recommended Reading for Students of Comparative Religion.’’ and anyone interested in the truth, as it Deciphers Truth from Falsehood. Up until the 16th Century there were no translations of the Bible in English .When Tyndale translated the Bible into English he was declared a heretic, was hunted down and eventually strangled and burnt to death on October 6th, 1536. We can only conclude that this act of the Church was done because when the people read and under stood what was written in the Bible they refused to believe it as the Word of God. In similar manner, when Galileo invented the telescope and concluded that the world was round and revolved around the sun, he was also declared a heretic and killed as this theory (which later proved to be a fact) went against the teachings of the Bible that propounded the belief that the earth was flat and stationery. Sir Godfrey Higgins writes in his book, ‘’History of the Bible’’: ---- many passages have undergone such serious modification of meaning as to leave us in painful uncertainty as to what the Apostils had actually written.’’ At a Jesus seminar in America in 1993, it was concluded that - ‘’82% of the words ascribed to Jesus in the gospels were not actually spoken by him.’’ Britannica, 12th edition; vol.3, page 643. Eusebius and other Church fathers, it is reasonable to believe, would not hesitate to make what alterations were necessary in the writings and records of the cult to bring them into line with the creeds they produced. Honesty and accuracy, as we understand them, did not exist in those days. For three hundred years prior to Nicaea no historical records existed, so there was no great difficulty in deluding the people as to the past story of the cult. Anything could be added to or subtracted from its past beliefs without undue comment’’. J. Arthur Findlay. There you have it, from the pens of learned CHRISTIAN SCHOLARS that the present Bible is the work of ordinary men and can never be divine. What additional proof could any intelligent person need to disqualify every Bible in existence as the word of God in any language! Can any sensible person argue with such irrefutable evidence?
About the author
I am a South African and was brought up in ‘n Christian family in the eastern Highveld, I grew up on a farm. After finishing school at Middelburg I did my military service, after a few months I joined the permanent force, then after three years I resigned the P.F. but was back in the civil force an became a member of the reconnaissance force, I rendered service in various countries . During 1982, I divorced my first wife after 10 years of marriage, after I lost a part of my right hand. We had 3 children, 2 sons and 1 daughter, my eldest son was killed by a taxi in 2006. After 13 years alone, I married my second wife; she was a widow at that time with 5 children, 4 sons and 1 daughter. We were married for 15 years and then divorced after she left for New Zeeland. As a child I grew up in a Christian home, Christianity was all belief I knew but I always wondered, because it was difficult for me to believe in three different entities, and some of the stories in the Bible were too far-fetched for me. As a farm child I knew that bee’s would never make honey in a dead body of a lion because I know how bee’s behaved. Because I was always anxious to know the truth I started to study the Bible and various other religions in-depth for about six years. I learned to know the real truth about the Bible and Christianity. I then had to make a serious head shift about my religion, it was very difficult to make the head shift because I was brought up as a Christian, but by Grace of God I could do it, for now I know the real truth. I know that there are many Christians and other people walking around with doubt in their minds, because they don’t know the real truth, they don’t have real peace of mind. People who are searching for the truth, and who would like to know the truth. I did an in-depth study and this is what I learned about the Bible and Christianity. ----- It was a rude awakening! ----- I just want to ask you to be unbaits and to have an open mind. An unbaits mind will help us to realise the truth, for guidance from God almighty can only be embraced through the wealth of knowledge, wisdom and common sense. These are among God’s gifts. Why not use them? As a Believer I just feel that it is my duty to tell the real truth about the Bible and Christianity.
