Believe On or Believe In?
What is the difference between Everlasting Life and Salvation? Or is there a difference? Why are these terms different for the same concept? Or are they the same? I guess to most people, they could care less. However, if they have the same meaning then there is a great contradiction here.
If they are different, then there is something here that we haven’t seen before. It’s not a wonder most people don’t study and try to understand the bible for themselves, it takes a bible scholar with a doctorate degree to understand some of it. So people just leave the interpreting to the guys with the credentials and accept what they have to say as God-sent truth.
According to Jesus, Everlasting Life is obtained by keeping the commandments and doing good works. According to Paul, salvation is merely believing and one cannot be saved by good works which we have done, but belief only is “accounted” for righteousness. Apparently, salvation is being saved from Hell. The concept of Hell is foreign to the Bible. Maybe this is the reason Jesus preferred to use the term eternal life.
This is a direct contradiction of a basic concept. To make things more complicated, Jesus says in one of the gospels, “He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.” So in this place it seems that Jesus is agreeing with Paul in that all you have to do is believe. Weather or not he actually said those exact words is a different story.
But then in other places he says clearly that you have to keep his commandments and do good works to enter into life. What is one to believe? It’s not a wonder that people leave it up to the clergy to get their truth.

Corrupting the Gospels
“There are some who corrupt the Gospel histories, and who introduce heresies opposed to the meaning of the doctrine of Jesus” (Origen)
“…only those persons who were concerned in the fraud should, in equity, be held answerable for it” (Origen)
…admit of various and almost indefinite readings … because “the original text of the Gospels” has been altered to coincide and substantiate the doctrines of the Gentile converts in an attempt to prove their tenets of belief.” (Celsus) Continue reading

Flight Into Egypt
This is a forgery that is pretty easy to unravel. In Matthew 2, as the story is told, the terrible, murderous king Herod hears rumors about Jesus who is born, and according to messianic prophecy would messiah king of the Jews.
So, according to the story, God warns Joseph, baby Jesus’s father, in a dream to “flee into Egypt” so that Herod won’t be able to find the baby and kill him. And this is supposedly why there is this so-called prophecy: “Out of Egypt have I called my son.”
Israel, “God’s son”, did in fact worship idols — Jesus was not an idolater, according to what we read in the Gospels. Therefore, this passage of scripture couldn’t possibly refer to Jesus. In fact, this passage was NOT even a prophecy! Continue reading

The Virgin Birth
In the gospel according to Matthew, there is a story about a virgin called Mary who becomes pregnant and conceives a child by the Holy Spirit. To prove this the writer quotes scripture from the Old Testament as if it were a fulfillment of bible prophecy.
Now, “God is with us” is significant in the context of the situation since the whole idea is God trying to encourage King Ahaz that he is on their side and that they will win if he only trusts in God.
(Opinion: I say “purposely” mistranslated because if it were just a simple error, it would have very little effect on the religious theology aspect. But this mistranslation has resulted in the creation of a very different kind of religion than the early Jewish believers ever even dreamed of.)
(The reason I believe this is that the followers of Jesus didn’t believe Mary was a virgin; Joseph, to them was the flesh and blood father of Jesus; they were very against the idea that Jesus was God; and that Jesus became the Son of God at his baptism and not from eternity. See: What the Early Christians Really Believed
(Moreover, this the mistranslation has been known about and has persisted for hundreds of years, and was never corrected, but in fact, has turned into an enormous world-wide religion — based on a mistranslation.)
(Continuing with the story:) He goes on to tell Ahaz that before the boy is old enough to know the difference between good and evil, both kings of the enemy nations that are at war with Judah will be forsaken. It goes on to describe how the Lord will defeat all of king Ahaz’s enemies. (Isa 7:15-25)
As it turns out, it seems that (in the very next chapter) the young woman who gives birth to the boy is conceived by the prophet himself, and the young woman is a prophetess. If this is not the same woman and the boy, it is certainly a continuation of the same sign God was giving to the king since it sounds very similar and is an obvious continuation of the sign in the previous chapter. (Isa 8:1- 10)
And exactly as in chapter 7 the prophecy has the phrase, “God is with us”. Which gives credence to the idea that the prophetess and the young woman (virgin) from chapter 7 are one and the same woman. What’s more is it’s the prophet himself who impregnates the young woman and not the Holy Spirit.
