2. Why the religion of the detective is still Christianity… in spite of all the corruption Lucius embedded into the Bible
Lucianity is a book that reports an investigation into the truth and falsity of the scripture contained in the New Testament. It was completed by a retired police detective where he reveals for the very first time that one man (an overzealous disciple of Christ) is responsible for creating about 75% of the scripture, a fact which remained deeply buried in the church’s archives during the last 1600 years. Unlike all other investigations, the detective in this “Cold Case” is able to document, illustrate, and clearly identify the forgery, fiction and visible corruption within the Bible, and just as importantly, name the mysterious culprit. During the last two millennia, no one earnestly questioned the authenticity of the New Testament scripture, since it was believed to be the inspired word of God. This singular, uniquely select, and sacred classification removed the Bible from any form of real criticism or review. As a result, if a person dared to question the integrity of biblical scripture, he was reflexively judged to be a heretic, ostracized, and even executed at various times in history. However, it is now the 21st Century, and due to modern enlightenment, physical punishments and executions for theological disputes about dogma are no longer the mode of resolution for such arguments (at least, not in the countries where a Western culture still exists). Thus, as this new millennium unfolds, it is finally time to draw back a musty, dingy curtain to publicly expose a ghostwriting wizard who has successfully hidden and evaded exposure since the first century AD … the name of this elusive and cunning wizard is Lucius, the Bishop of Cyrene who through guile, and his magical use of reeds and ink, mysteriously produced 75% of the New Testament.
Now that this crafty forger’s identity is known and exposed to the public … action should be immediately undertaken to rectify his mischief, in order that prayer can be restored to the Lord God and the true message of Christ can resonate as a viable religious belief well into the future. Such a rectification should emphasize that Jesus taught his apostles to pray only to the Lord God and never to him (Matthew 6: 9-13), scripture which somehow has been unheeded by all those “Christians” who have accepted the beliefs of Lucius during the last 2000 years.
And for those who may have heeded the advice of Jesus, the detective has some disturbing and disappointing news. Jesus never said the “Our Father” prayer. The wording of the prayer represents the visible and discernible corruption of Lucius as He attempted to convince the readers of his scripture that Jesus truly was the Son of God because he prayed to his Father in heaven. But … Jesus would never say this prayer because he knew that God had no image and it misrepresented the identity of God. The assignment of a masculine gender to God as a “Father” is a physical image which contravenes the commands of God (Exodus 20). Jesus really did say a prayer to the Lord, but it is judged to be something like the following:
O’ My Lord God
or
My Lord God, Yahweh
{Note: Jehovah was first used by W. Tyndale in the middle ages; thus, Jesus never said Jehovah}
Who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
{Note how this above phrase now makes sense, since God has a name (i.e. Lord, Yahweh), and not the fake description of “Our Father” (created by Lucius), something that Jesus would never say because it contravenes the First Commandment by assigning an untruthful male image to God}.
Thy Kingdom come, thy Will be done
On Earth, as it is in Heaven
Give us for tomorrow, the needs of the body.
Forget our trespasses, as we forgive those who
have and do trespass against us.
Be thou our Guide in the time
of trouble, turmoil and temptation,
{Note: this version doesn’t say – “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen”
since God would never lead anyone into temptation, and it is something Jesus would never say,
but Lucius would, and obviously did since this phrase is included in the Vulgate Bible }
And, lead us in the paths of righteousness
for thy name’s sake. Amen
[[ Note: This version of the “Lord’s Prayer” was extracted from the following sources: the Vulgate, Septuagint, and King James Bibles; Wikipedia; and Edgar Cayce Library.
The detective has used this version of Lord’s Prayer for more than fifty years, except he did not eliminate the opening words “Our Father” until the last few years when he learned how Lucius had corrupted the scripture in the New Testament.]]
Was it just a spiritual blind spot by man, or were satanic forces at work causing this misdirection of prayers for the last 2000 years? The detective can’t answer this question. It needs to be answered by each individual based on personal reflection and introspection.
Nonetheless, due to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross, all essential facts and data are known to substantiate the reality of God and the existence of a spiritual world. The religion of Moses is defined as Judaism 101, where it acclaimed a God without any physical image (and yet every man, male and female, to be made in God’s image … i.e. the spiritual image of God) while it also recognized the spiritual world by praying with uplifted, outreaching arms and hands pointing toward heaven. In the same vein, the Inner Sanctum housed deep inside the temple recognized a spiritual God, when in deference to His non-existent physical image, it was constructed as a totally empty and vacant chamber enclosed by three to four draping curtains serving as veils. Over time, the Sadducees corrupted Judaism 101 beyond all Godly recognition (i.e. the sins or transgressions of the Jews). These sins eventually prompted prayers by the Jewish prophets (Isaiah and Daniel in particular), where in turn, they received very responsive and pin-pointing answers (messages) from God. Then, exactly as foretold by God in the messages, Christ is sent to Earth in order to confirm the truth of Judaism 101 (more specifically Genesis 1:27) and precisely fulfill the messages given to the two prophets mentioned above; God does this via the death and the spiritual incarnation (or resurrection) of Jesus. As a result, Judaism 102 is born (i.e. Messianic Judaism). This newer version of the religion only develops because most Jews rejected Christ as the long-awaited messiah. Then 60 some years later, Judaism 102 evolves into a different religion (i.e. Christianity … or really Lucianity) because followers of Jesus formed their own congregations (churches) after their expulsion from the synagogues by the Jewish High Priest; when this fateful action occurred, the followers of Jesus unthinkingly and very foolishly adopted the fictional scripture of Lucius as the dogma of their faith. In any event, the Lord Himself validated Christ’s resurrection and the truth about a human being’s spiritual nature when He presented mankind with a full body 3D picture of Jesus on the Shroud fabric. The creation of this linen image extends well beyond the scope of all scientific understanding making it incapable of replication by any machine, device or science laboratory known to man, thus confirming the direct involvement of the “Lord thy God” with the Judeo-Christian religion. This was not God’s first direct connection with the Jewish people since Abraham, the first Patriarch and Prophet of the Jewish people, communicated with only one God … it was this same God who Moses earnestly prayed atop Mt. Sinai when he received the Ten commandments … it was this same God who stressed adherence to the First Commandment when praying (Exodus 20) … the same God who sent Christ to Earth to die in accordance with His announcement given seven centuries earlier to Isaiah, the same God who proclaimed via the angel Gabriel the exact day Christ would die over five centuries in advance, and … the same God to whom Jesus exclusively prayed.
Christ did not come to earth in order to start a new religion … the law had already been given to Moses via the Ten Commandments. Christ only came to confirm the truth of Genesis 1:27 by clearly and demonstrably proving that man is made in the (spiritual) image of God. The Lord proved Himself to be an active God whether it was in the days of Abraham, Moses, or Christ … evidence which does not exist for any other faith or religion on Earth and why messianic Judaism (i.e. Judaism 102) or real and true Christianity (not Lucianity) is the religious faith of the detective.
