Evangelical teaching and preaching often directly contradict that which Jesus taught about love and peace, and more surprisingly, celebrity Christian statements often directly conflict with Jesus' statements about Heaven and Hell. Matthew, the first book in the New Testament, contains the most outrageous example of added words that directly contradicts Jesus words. A quote from the Scofield Reference Bible footnotes directly contradicts what Jesus Christ is quoted to have said, His simple words, taken from the King James Edition, describing the basis upon which Jesus told his followers He himself will someday judge every man from every tribe "nation".Three classes of individuals are mentioned:
(1) Sheep, saved Gentiles;
(2) Goats, unsaved Gentiles; and
(3) Brethren, the people of Israel.
Oxford Press introduces radical racism into its interpolation of Jesus' words by limiting heaven to Jews and those non-Jews who are excessively kind to Jews. And the footnotes also claim it is not even Heaven Jesus it talking about. Instead it is an early kingdom that is yet to come...and it has (according to Oxford) nothing to do with the world the Disciples and Jesus lived in!
Who, to Jesus, were "the least of these my Brethren?" Oxford has them to be "Jews" living in the state of Israel at some future age. When Jesus spoke of "his brethren" He was in no way talking about the 1948 created State of Israel. Jesus words were (this writer thinks) relevant to those who followed him then; if not, how can the words be believable to those who try to follow Jesus now?
To make sure everyone knows what Jesus was talking about, Heaven and Hell, he provides two parables in first half of the same 25th Chapter that he labeled as explaining the kingdom of Heaven "the kingdom of Heaven is like". What is Oxford's motive? Oxford Press treats Jesus Christ like a public school drop out who cannot express himself.
We are supposed to believe that the Scofield bible (written and rewritten by Oxford University Press from 1921 on) is needed to interpret Jesus lack of expression. How insulting to God. Oxford Press and Pharisaic Christian leaders should tremble in fear if they indeed believe He is God. Traditional Christians (as well as Muslims as we understand them) believe Jesus was describing the "narrow path" to heaven.
Jesus words are easy to understand, but difficult to follow toward the Strait Gate. Oxford deliberately subverted the meaning of Jesus' analogy of the sheep and goats by italicized sub-headings. Schofield also claimed Christian conversion while doing time for forgery. Pastors who accept Oxford's deliberate abuse of Jesus words belong in the street, if not in jail with Scofield's ghost.
Oxford press sets out to convince the reader that Jesus changed the subject from what He said he was talking about, heaven and hell, to the "second coming" at his "return to earth" or Armageddon scheme by adding the above line of italics between the verses. We are to believe that Jesus was finished with heaven and hell and switched subjects without warning, to talking about "Christ's return to earth" popularly fictionalized as "the end times.”
Together sub-heading and footnotes complete the terrible forgery of God’s words. Without the sub-heading there is no reason to think Jesus changed the subject...he is still talking about his heaven in the sheep and goats story. Obviously, Oxford has a problem with Jesus words so it vetoed what Jesus said. This of course would make Jesus a liar to his own followers, but Oxford does not flinch at doing this.

The Quran and the Bible
The difference between the Quran and the Bible
by M. Amir Ali, Ph.D.
The Muslims and non-Muslims consider the Qur'an and the Bible to be their respective books of guidance without realizing the vast differences between the two. Firstly, the Bible is a scripture and many Muslims erroneously consider the Qur'an to be a scripture. In the Qur'an, Allah describes the Qur'an as "Al-Kitab", meaning "the Book", which is the right name for it. The Bible is called a scripture and if asked about the authorship, Christians tell you that there were forty-some persons, rarely a prophet or a messenger among them, who wrote the Bible under divine inspiration. The concept of divine inspiration is an assumption without verification. Whereas, the Qur'an was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad Sall-Allahu 'alaihi wa sallam (henceforth denoted as S) who dictated to his scribes, the most honorable companions. In the sense of authorship the Bible is a scripture whereas the Qur'an is not a scripture but a revealed book.
The Qur'an talks about the TAURAT, ZUBOOR and INJEEL which were the books revealed by Allah to the Prophets Musa, Dawood and 'Isa 'alaihumus-salaam, respectively, which are not the same books as the Bible. Due to the similarity of some contents of TAURAT, ZUBOOR and INJEEL, some people equate them with the Torah and Psalms of David and the Gospels respectively, which is an error. This has given an excuse to the Christian missionaries to present the Bible in the native languages of the Muslim countries as the TAURAT, ZUBOOR and INJEEL of the QUR'AN and confuse and confound naive Muslims. The revealed Taurat, Zuboor and Injeel were revealed books which are extinct, whereas, the Bible may contain some parts of Taurat, Zuboor and Injeel in modern-day language translation in corrupt form. A translation of a revealed book cannot be the word of God because in the process of translation the word of God is transformed into the word of man. In the language of revelation (Arabic or Aramaic or Hebrew) only one manuscript or codex could be the word of God, whereas, there can be an infinite number of translations by man. It is, therefore, agreed by Muslim scholars that any translation of the Qur'an is not the word of God and does not qualify to be called the Qur'an. Non-Arabic speaking people should be able to benefit from translations but no one should depend upon a single translation because no translation is free of errors. A translation represents the understanding or lack of it by the translator himself. If any one desires to become a scholar of the Qur'an there is no choice but to learn the Arabic language of the Qur'an and gain expertise in it.
One of the major sources of corruption of the Bible is translation and translations of translations. With regards to the Gospels of the Christians, there is no record of even writing down any document when Jesus received revelations. It is believed by the Christians that the first records of the teachings of Jesus (A) and his life were made decades after his disappearance and it was in the Greek language. The earliest manuscript available is from the fourth century after Jesus. In the case of the Old Testament, it was written in Hebrew and its dialects, but was destroyed at least twice by the enemies of Judaism in ancient times without leaving a single copy and was rewritten from memory, one of the sources of corruption. The Qur'an was recorded in writing as well as in the memory of many people in the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad (S) and was compiled in book form according to his directions by his companions shortly after his death. It is, therefore, suggested that Muslims should not apply the term "scripture" to the Qur'an. "Al-Kitab", when used in the Qur'an, should be translated simply as "the Book".

Christian Aesthetic Is Perfection Of Reason Towards Necessary Jew-Expulsion
(Apollonian, 26 Oct 08)
This is outstanding blog (see SpiritWaterBlood.com, "RC Sproul...," 26 Oct 08), theme of which is destruction, overthrow, and hi-jacking of culture--which is accomplished by Jews, by means, among other things, by destruction of race, especially the concept thereof--after all, they, race and culture, go together, one not possible without the other, as we see. For distinctive races are natural products.
And this cultural destruction is brought about, accomplished, and enforced by means of subjectivism--as we see for definition of race, also exposited well in this blog. And race surely exists, race merely extended family, racism then well defined as loyalty.
Thus we see Jews, destroyers of their enemies, according to Jews' Talmud (see RevisionistHistory.org, TruthTellers.org, and Come-and-hear.com for best Talmudic expo) warplan, imposing absolute subjectivism--anything goes--"truth" is what Jews, especially rabbis, say it is.
And thus we see the incredible, RATIONALISTIC significance of that magnificent Christianity which explicitly defends TRUTH, as Gosp. JOHN 8:32, making such a pt. of importance of truth, as again at JOHN 14:6. For truth requires OBJECTIVITY as criterion; truth is a certain something--God's creation, not man's--and NOT anything else--necessarily.
And of course pt. to the subjectivist emphasis is Jews do this obligatorily to prop and support their basic COUNTERFEIT fraud, like present US Federal Reserve Bank (Fed)--see RealityZone.com for expo/ref.
Thus such onslaught of Jews and subjectivism is CYCLIC historic phenomenon, according to "Decline of the West," by Oswald Spengler, whence gentiles, like whites of West, were prosperous and successful, but then pro-created too many weaklings and inferiors, over-population, who thus suffered that hubris of neo-Pelagian hereticalism, as of Rousseau, English Utilitarianism, and especially Immanuel Kant, that "genius," whence "good" over-rode TRUTH.
And remember back to Plato who EQUATED truth, beauty, and "good," decisively OVERTHROWN then by Christianity, esp. Gosp. JOHN, again, who elevated truth above all. But now Kant resurrected, and further, upheld "good" over all, even truth--and thus here we find ourselves today, truth and Christ overthrown and oppressed by hubris and revived, neo-Pelagian heresy in ultra-rationalist form.
Hence we Christians of today must emphasize once again that TRUTH (thus objectivity) above all, hence honesty, and that there is no "good" that can possibly trump or over-ride honesty and truth.
Thus we Christian missionaries of today must emphasize to "Judeo-Christians," for foremost example, Christianity is absolutely, necessarily, and THEMATICALLY anti-semitic (anti-Talmud, as Gosp. MARK 7:1-13).
Note also however we Christian missionaries best co-ordinate our work with the natural historic cycle as evermore good and honest people see, as presently, through all the turmoil and disaster, only Jews profit, and maybe a very few gentile suck-alongs, while only gentiles, never Jews, suffer.
CONCLUSION: Thus Christian soldiers, heroes, and saints work for that cleansing, glorious JEW-EXPULSION as definitive as St. Constantine the Great, early 4th cent. Ron Paul (CampaignForLiberty.com), for example, can uphold removal of Fed as solution--but it's not going to happen, nor would it last, without definitive Jew-expulsion. Honest elections and death to the Fed. Apollonian
This is a fantastic blog. I am having a crisis of faith. I was raised Christian, studied Buddhism then became Agnostic. I believe in Jesus, but have been unable to find any church or congregation that will rebuke Zionist Israel and her supporters. Even my super-religious mother has called me Satan for speaking loudly against Israel's brutal apartheid occupation. I found your website via Michael Rivero's WhatReallyHappened.com site. I am really pleased to see that I am not alone here. Many in the anti-Zionist movement are also atheists. I still believe, but that is only because I've always felt that the words of the Lord have been perverted. As a child, I was raised Seventh-Day Adventist, fire-and-brimstone Pentecostal, Jehovah's Witness and United Church of Christ. I want to find my way back to the Lord, but don't quite know how. I am an active anti-Zionist activist but I am missing my spirituality. I have lost many friends over my "politics" and my own family is against me. Many of these friends and family members consider themselves evangelicals. They religiously watch, listen and obey corrupt TBN evangelists and Family Christian Radio pastoral talk show hosts. How do I reconcile my complete frustration with their refusal to see the error in their interpretation of the Bible and current events?
Dear Anonymous:
I can see why you are having a crisis of faith.
A simple suggestion for you is to get a Bible and begin reading the gospel accounts (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) of the life and ministry of Jesus. This will give you a clear and undistorted view of what Christ actually taught.
Also, stay away from study Bibles! Most of them are a big part of the problem.
I also encourage you to read the book of Galatians in the New Testament of the Bible, especially Chapters 1 - 4.
Here are just a few verses:
"You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Him.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise."
Galatians 3:26-29
What God is saying through Paul is that Jesus died to pay the penalty for sin for anyone and everyone who believes and receives his free gift of salvation. There is no favoritism with God.
The true children of Abraham are those who place their faith in Jesus Christ.
Be encouraged! Not all Christians are Zionists (I'm not) though it sometimes may seem that way!
Keep pressing on...
A friend
AN has also asked a different question. “How do I reconcile my complete frustration with their refusal to see the error in their interpretation of the Bible and current events?”
Facing Frustration
a) We start with a statement of encouragement. Christian Zionism is a lie that will have its “end time” as all lies do. The lie that led to the Crusades lasted 200 years but it did die. And this author cannot help but feel God will judge those who ignore His words. Please, do not give up on friends and family for their sake, if not your own. Theirs is an offense to God made oblivious by willful men who mislead them.
The present decline in the economy may well end Christian Zionism as a force unchallenged because it will show that thousands of leaders are false prophets of prosperity. Judeo Christianity is a prosperity sect like the one Jesus opposed. Following Christ limits the time for computing wealth beyond what one needs to live. Christian Zionism is, and always has been, a lie that is unsustainable. AN, you and Jim, be patient and gentle. Your friends and families will hear the words from someone else to reinforce what you have already told them.
b) We recommend you need to test your own faith to see to it that you are following Jesus Christ on the narrow path. Study the New Testament without interpretations or study guides from anyone. We suggest you read alternately one Gospel (Matthew through John) and one book of the Apostle Paul, starting with the book of Galatians. Feel free to join our own weekly Internet Bible study, but only as a supplement to your own reading. Most lessons are available in our internet archives.
c) Look for a church to attend that does not believe and teach that the State of Israel is ordained by God. Eastern “Orthodox” churches, such as Armenian or Greek, are usually traditional and do not believe God ordained political Israel. You will not find the “warm fuzzies” that attracts millions to Christian Zionist mega-churches, but you will also not have to contend with the error of Christian Zionism. Similarly, some mainline churches are already recognizing the need to confront Judeo Christians churches based on false theology. The test is to ask the Pastor if they believe Israel is the fulfillment of Biblical prophesies. The National Council of Churches, which has 110,000 member churches, has just announced an excellent program to expose their evangelical brothers’ errors about Palestine. But many of these are slumbering and may want to remain so. Keep trying to find a mainline church where you can join in and have and influence, but you best test the pastor or priest.
d) Take your frustration out on the leaders of Judeo-Christian Churches by arranging quiet vigil interventions once a month at one. Jesus confronted error. Paul challenged apostasy. Project Strait Gate takes the frustration out of the equation by doing the same. See our history of over 60 interventions. *3

House Divided: Christian Zionism Agonizes Family Members
Charles E. Carlson Nov 18, 2008

Many thanks for your kind suggestions An and test.whtt! I am wondering if you can also suggest a bible to use as I do NOT want to deal with a Scofield version or NIV. I was brought up on the Gideons and KJV versions, but I'm not sure if they've also been rewritten in support of political Israel. Your advice is greatly appreciated.
[Here's for some inspiration--as for "anon" who was asking for advice. A.]
Anti-Semitism: It's Obedience To God--And Without It, U'll Never Get To Heaven
(Apollonian, 23 Nov 08)
"B Movie": comrade u're getting ever-closer to truth and peace (beginning with that inner peace).
For what's essential problem?--simple, all honest, dear, good people, of all races and cultures, etc., are in thrall to a CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY.
Of course now there's more to it, circumstances and history, and all, but that's basic thing--a criminal conspiracy.
So then what's key to this conspiracy?--COUNTERFEIT fraud (see RealityZone.com for expo/ref. on US Federal Reserve Bank [Fed] fraud)--why?--because by means of this counterfeiting, EVERYTHING ELSE IS MADE POSSIBLE for the criminals--And yes, again, there's circumstances and history to it too, etc.
So is there then a simple solution?--yes, but it takes a little breath-taking courage to even think about it.
Okay, so what's that "simple" solution, puke-head? Simple--Jew-Expulsion. Jew-expulsion will immediately, instantaneously DE-CAPITATE the conspiracy--and all conspiracies, leaving the rest of the little (gentile) "players" to be mopped-up at relative leisure.
Puke-head!--do u realize u've just blasphemed against the holy God of our splendid McCivilization?--how could u?--how could u even imagine? U mean u want to get rid of those cute little hook-nosed people who are sooooooooooo persecuted?
* * * * *
And the interesting thing, comrade "B Movie," is everyone basically already knows this (about Jew-expulsion)--so it's not like u're telling them something not already present within their minds.
U only now have to be persuasive and un-relenting for the rhetoric. And sure, they (whoever u're talking to) might not want to consider the (anti-semitic) proposition right now at the moment, but just give it time within this CYCLIC process of history we're going through.
Jew-expulsion will get evermore attractive--mark my words--no less than justice will get evermore attractive for all the horror that continues to take place, daily. Just think of the coming Obama administration.
People see EVERMORE Jews behind all the terrorism, only Jews profiting (aside fm the suckalongs who get diddly), only gentiles suffering.
Think then of urself like the original Christian Apostles who became INSPIRED as they underwent EPIPHANY--hey, "it's Jews, stupid"--they all of a sudden losing "fear of the Jews"--hey, it can happen to u too.
And just then keep it rational, matter-of-fact, and down-to-earth; for that's purpose of Christianity--TO KILL JEWS. Everything else about Christianity then is merely what u need to go along with that glorious, anti-semitic (anti-Talmudism, as Gosp. MARK 7:1-13) necessity of/for Jew-expulsion.
Did u ever have a disease u decided u didn't need?--after all, what do we need Jew parasites for?--with those incredibly UGLY hook-noses of theirs ("mark of Cain")--this, as they pretend gentiles are so "envious" of them.
Thus "B Movie," u see, we don't need mysticism or any of that stupid crap for EPIPHANY--we just need circumstances, that's all--understanding CYCLIC history, according to "Decline of the West," by Oswald Spengler.
CONCLUSION: Never forget: anti-semitism is obedience to God, and Christ was an anti-semite, never doubt--u and we all can be too--it just takes a little imagination. Honest elections and death to the Fed. Apollonian
Very good!
It seems a little more than I need to check the information, because I was thinking: Why does not my GLOG these things!
Although from different places, but this perception is consistent, which is relatively rare point!
Rope,Twine
That's because most Chritsians follow the heretic Saul from Tarsus, as if he was the messiah. He was a pharisee, who killed christians. Why would any Christian follow this heretic? He is scripturally wrong, flip flops, and supported "dual covenant" theology. There were so many things wrong with him , yet Christians quote and cite Saul , more than Jesus. This is why Christians support zionism, and consequently embrace what destroys them.
To the Ancient hearsay of Chiliasm come as Dispensationlism & Pre Trib Rapture can be Reckoned from the Covenant unto Abraham the same manifested in the Fulness of Christ Jesus clear from Galatians 3:16 the Promise to his specific seed Jesus for the seed of Abraham are them in Christ Jesus which thus makes Spiritual Israel to the Church come not as a dispensation but the fulfillment even unto His words "I am with you till the end" for unto Him has the word of God been pointed all along. Jews will just have to regraft as new for they had transgressed the old covenant & the Glory of God departed from the house. To the New Covenant, manifestation of the old which is the Original Covenant there is no Jew or Gentile to His Inheritance come in the Righteousness.
