Anathema:
The Secret Story of Jesus
Before The Holy Gospels Were Written
This literary work is Dedicated to God Almighty and, His Ever-Living Son,
-at Whose Holy Feet this unworthy author imbibed the Sweet Elixir of His
Holy Naam or Word.
Be it know to all and sundry that the information and opinions expressed herein are original in nature and are entirely my own... seemingly controversial and iconoclastic to acquiescent 'Christians' and Jewish orthodoxy (this cannot be avoided.. nor it is intended) , nevertheless it is honest and true (to the best of my ability) , -it is not for the faint of heart.
I write this material as a direct result of the 'Church's deafening silence -engendered by the 'Holy Gospels' or 'Holy Word of God', -particularly as it relates to Jesus Barabbas specifically and Judas the Galilean as well as Saul of Tarsus -aka the Apostle and eventual Saint 'Paul' in general.
Although Jesus Barabbas and "Jesus Christ" are otherwise inexorably intertwined, I make no mention of nor comment upon "Jesus Christ" of Paul's epiphany and subsequent works. Indeed, 'Anathema: The Secret Story of Jesus Before The Holy Gospels Were Written' is diametrically opposed to 'Paul' (and his cohorts: Mark and Luke), the actual creators and founders of 'Christianity'.
That said, let us look at what we have concerning the man named "Jesus" but who was called "Barabbas"... first written in the original Greek Gospel according or attributed to Matthew (27:17), -His name was removed or omitted from the Latin translation (or reinterpretation) of the same text (around 390 c.e.) and most of the subsequent 'translations' thereafter. Moreover, 'Barabbas' is not a proper name or surname per se' (any more so than is: "Christ"), -it is what He was called, -it is, rather, an Aramaic appellation, the meaning of which is: Bar = Son + Abba = Father (as in 'the Father of us all' or 'God'), -thus, we have "Jesus (the) Son of God"... like it or not.
Not wishing to 'throw the baby out with the bath-water', so to speak, -as one might be tempted to do as it pertains to the contradictions, incongruities and just plain hyperbolas non-sense of the so-called 'Holy Gospels' or 'Holy Word of God' of the 'Christians'. Nevertheless, I maintain that there is a germ of truth hidden within 'Holy Scripture', that is to say 'Holy Scripture' of the world's 'religions' and not limited to any one 'religion' or a single 'Book' (No 'religion' has a monopoly on God or divinely inspired writings.)
'Holy Scripture', divinely inspired writings, are 'testimonies' of 'eye-witnesses' to the glory of some living Godman -Who has always come into the world for the specific purpose of initiating wayward souls onto the path leading 'homeward'. Hopefully, He Wills to continue in His Father's behest. We, by ourselves, can never even hope to achieve 'salvation' or discover the path that leads us to our 'eternal home'. As in all things, we are at the mercy, kindness, dependency and love of another... be it our mother, father, sister or brother and various 'teachers' ... throughout our lives, -anyone who assumes otherwise is a fool.
Like a lighted Candle, He lights another (we cannot light ourselves), -then the 'Candle' is consumed and is no more, -but the Light (and Love) remains the Same -as it was before. In like manner, He Himself has been 'lighted' by His 'Teacher', 'Guru', 'Saint' or 'Master' (of His time) -call Him whatever you will... all is the same.
We, blind and dumb, assume and hope in the 'words' of 'Books' (divinely inspired, lofty, noble or otherwise) and utterly fail to sit at the Holy Feet of the current or present 'Master' (Soul)... 'believing' instead that He came earlier and (hopefully) will return again sometime in the future... but that He is not 'here' now.
I beg to differ.
To be continued...
