Not my Book, Not my God

"Beware of those dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of those that mutilate with circumcision." (Philippians 3:2)

To understand why the first Christians decided to reject the Hebrew bible (Old Testament) writings for inclusion in the original bible we need to compare the testament scriptures side by side.

"Kill them all—old and young, girls and women and little children...“Defile the Temple!” the LORD commanded. “Fill its courtyards with corpses. Go!” (Ezekiel 9:6)

Sound like something Jesus or your Christian God would say? The Marcionites didn't think so either. In fact, it sounds like the deranged scribblings of a psychopath - specifically, a human psychopath.

Whether it's stories of children being ripped apart and eaten alive by bears 'commanded by god' or the sun and moon being frozen in place so that every last woman and child could be more efficiently slaughtered during a massacre, it becomes very clear that the Hebrew bible (Old Testament) and its carnal deity has nothing to do with Christianity - in fact, it's about as far removed as you can possibly get.

"For if righteousness come by the (Hebrew) law, then Christ died for nothing." (Galatians 2:16)

The first Christians knew this and rejected the Hebrew bible (Old Testament) and its deity as being incompatible with the teachings and message of Jesus and that's why you won't find it in The Very First Bible as transcribed in 144 A.D.

The Hebrew bible (Old Testament) rejection and its 613 laws was formally made by all the Apostles at the Council of Jerusalem in 48 A.D. Unfortunately, after 300 years had passed it was ordered added to the bible by a pagan Roman emperor at the Council of Nicaea.

"For there is no good tree that produces corrupt fruit; nor corrupt tree that produces good fruit. For each tree is known by its own fruit." - Gospel of the Lord

...there came forth little children
out of the city, and mocked him

shall be put apart seven days;
whosoever toucheth her shall be

..beyond the time of her separation,
...she shall be unclean. (Leviticus 15:19,25)

According to (Genesis 32), a character in the
Old Testament named Jacob defeats god
in a wrestling match.

They devoted the city to the Lord and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys. Then they burned the whole city and everything in it, but they put the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron into the treasury of the Lord’s house. (Joshua 6:21,24)

Does any of the above sound like something Jesus would say
or tell you to do? The first Christians didn't think so either.

And they brought young children to
Him...and His disciples rebuked
those that brought them. But Jesus
...said unto them "Allow the little
children to come to Me, and forbid
them not, for of such is the kingdom
of God." (Mark 10:13,14)

And he took them up in his arms, put [his] hands upon them,

God is light, and in Him is no dark-
ness at all (1 John 1:5b) God is love
(1 John 4:16); [Love] thinketh no

(1 Corinthians 13:4)

Then came Peter to Him, and said,
"Lord, how oft shall my brother sin

(Matthew 18:23-22)

ness at all (John 1:5b)

And a woman having an issue of
blood twelve years, which had spent
all her living on physicians, neither
could be healed of any, came up
behind [Jesus], and touched the
border of His garment: and immed-
iately her issue of blood ceased.
(Luke 8:43,44)

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
(Romans 12:19,20,21)
