THE BOOKS REJECTED BY PROTESTANTS

The status of these books remained unchanged until the Protestant Reformation. The Protestants repudiated the decesions of the councils and declared that the following books were essentially to be rejected: The book of Baruch, The book of Tobit, The letter of Jude, The Song of Solomon, Ecclesiasticus, The first and second books of Macabees. They excluded this following books from the list of acknowledged books.

Moreover, the Protestants also rejected the decesion of their forebears regarding some chapters of the book of Esther. This book consistes of 16 chapters. They decided that the first 9 chapters and the three verses from chapter 10 were essentially to be rejected. They based their decesion on the following six reasons:

1. These works were considered to be false even in original hebrew and Chaldaen languages which were no longer available.

2. The Jews did not acknowledge them as revealed books.

3. All the Christians have not acknowledged them as believeable.

4. Jerome said that these books were not reliable and were insufficient to prove and support the doctrines of faith.

5. Klaus has openly said that these books were recited but not in every place.

6. Eusebius specifically said in chapter 22 of his fourth book that these books have been tampered with, and changed. In particular the Second Book of Maccabees.

Reasons 1,2 and 6 are particularly to be noted by the readers of self-sufficient evidence of dishonesty and perjury of the earlier Christians. Books which had been lost in the original and which existed in translation were erroneously acknowledged by thousands of theologians as divine books. This state of affairs leads a non-Christian reader to distrust the Unanimous decisions of Christian scholars of both the catholic and the Protestant persuasions. The followers of Catholic faith still believe in these books in blind persuance of their forebears.

THE INAUTHENTICITY OF THE GOSPEL OF JOHN

There is no authority for the claim that the Gospel of John is the Book of Apostle John to whom it has been attributed. On the contrary, there are several arguments that strongly refute this claim.

THE FIRST ARGUMENT

Before and after the period of Prophet Jesus, the style of writing and the method of compiling books was similar to the style of the present Muslim writers. It does not appear from the Gospel that John was making his own statements. That means, if John was the writer, he would not have reffered himself as a third person.

This is obvious evidence and one cannot refute it, unless some really strong arguments are presented.

THE SECOND ARGUMENT

The Gospel contains this statement in 21:24

"This is the disciple which testifieth of these things: and we know that this testimony is true," describing the apostle John. This denotes that the writer of the text is not John himself. It leads us to guess that the writer has found some script written by John and has described the contents in his own language making some omissions and additions to the contents.

THE THIRD ARGUMENT


The Allogin, a sect of the Christians in second Century AD, disowned this Gospel and all the writings of John.

THE FOURTH ARGUMENT

In the second century AD when the authorities refused to accept this Gospel as a book of John, Irenaeus, a disciple of Polycarp, the disciple of John was living. He did not make any statement to negate those who refused to accept this book and did not testify that he had heard Polycarp saying that this Gospel was from John, the Apostle. Had it been from John, Polycarp must have known it.

THE FIFTH ARGUMENT

The Catholic Herald printed in 1844, includes the statement in vol. 3 on page 205 that Stapelin said in his book that the Gospel of John was undoubtedly written by a student of the school of Alexendria. See how Blatantly he claims it to be a book fro a student.

THE SIXTH ARGUMENT

Bertshiender, a great scholar said:

"The whole of this Gospel and all teh Epistles of John were not written by him but some other person in second century AD."

THE SEVENTH ARGUMENT


Grotius, a famos scholar admitted:

"There used to be twenty chapters in this Gospel. The twnety first chapter was added after the death of John, by the Church of Ephesus.

THE EIGHTH ARGUMENT


The first 11 verses of chapter 8 are not accepted by any of the Christian writers and they did not exist in Syriac version.

THE NINTH ARGUMENT

Horne, in chapter 2 of Vol. 4 of his commentry says:

"The information that has been conveyed to us by the historians of the Church regarding the period of the four Gospels is defective and indefinite. It does not help us to reach any meaningful conclusion. The ancient theologians have confirmed absurd statements and written them down. Subsequent people accepted them just out of respect for them. The false statements were thus communicated from one writer to another. A long period of time has passed, and it has become very difficult to find out the Truth."

Further in the same volume he says:

"The first Gospel was written either in 37 AD or in 38 AD or in 43 AD or in 48 AD, or in 61,62,63 and 64 AD. The second Gospel was written in 56 AD or at any time uptill 65 AD and most possibly in 60 or 63 AD. The third Gospel was written in 53 or 63 or 64 AD. The fourth Gospel was written in 68,69,70 or in 89, or in 98 AD.
 
THE ABSENCE OF CERTAINTY IN BIBLE

It is prerequisite of believing in a certain book as divinely revealed that is proved through infalliable arguments that the book in question was revealed through prophet and that it has been conveyed to us precisely in the same order without any change through an uniterrupted chain of narrators.

It is not at all sufficient to attribute a book to certain prophet on the basis of suppositions and conjectures. Unsupported assertions made by one or few sects of people should not be, and cannot be accepted in this connection.

We have already seen how catholic and Protestant Scholars differ in the question of authenticity of certain books. There are yet more books on the Bible which have been rejected by Christians.

They include the book of Revelation, the Book of Genesis, The book of Ascension, The Book of Mysteries, the Book of Testament and the Book of Confession, which are all ascribed to prophet Moses.

Similarly a fourth Boom Ezra is claimed to be from Prophet Ezra and a Book Concerning Isiah's ascension and revelation are ascribed to him. In addition to the known book of Jermiah, there is another Boom attributed to Him.

There are numerous sayings which are claimed to be from Prophet Habakkuk. There are many songs which are said to be from Prophet Solomon. There are more than 70 books, other than the Present ones, of the New Testament, which are ascibed to Jesus, Mary, the apostles and their disciples.

The Christians of this age have claimed that these books are false and forgeries. The Greek Church, Catholic Church and the Protestant Church are unanimous in this point. Similarly the Greek Church claims that the Third Book of Ezra is a Part of Old Testament and believes it to be written by the Prophet Ezra, while the Protestant and Catholic Churches have declared it false and fabricated.

We have already seen th controversy of the Catholics and Protestants regarding the Book of Baruch, Tobit, Jude, the Song of Solomon, Ecclesiasticus and both the books of Maccabees. A part of the book of Eshther is believeable to be by Catholics but essentially rejected by Protestants.

In this kind of situation it seems absurd and beyond the bounds of reason to accept and acknowledge a book simply for a reason that it has been ascribes to prophet by a group of people withouth concrete support.

Many times we have demanded renowned Christian scholars to produce names of the whole chin of narrators right from the author of the book to prove their claim but they are unable to do so.

At a public debate held in India, one of the famous missionaries confessed to the truth of the absence of the authorative support for these books was due to distres and calamities of the christians in the first three hundred and thirten yers of history.

We ourselves examioned and probed into their books and took great pains to find any such authorities but our findings did not lead beyond conjecture and presumption. Out impartial search in the sources of their books showed that most of their assertions are based on nothing but presumptions.

It has alreaady been said that presumption and conjecture are of no avail in this matter. It would be quite justified on our part if we refused to believe in these books until we had been given some arguments and authorities to prove their genuineness and authenticity.

However, for sake of truth, we will still go forward to discuss and examine the authority of these books in this chapter. It is quite unnecessary to duscuss the authority of each and every book of the Bible and we intend to examine only some of them.

THE SECOND ARGUMENT

It is an accepted notion that all Jewish and Christian scholars that the First and the Second Chronicles were written by Ezra with the help of Prophets Haggai and Zachariah, but we notre that seventh and eight chapters of the book consistes of descriptions of the decendants of Benjamin which are mutually contradictory. These descriptions also contradict statements in th Pentatuech, firstly in names, and secondly in counting the number of decendants. In chapter 7 we read that Benjamin had three sons and in chapter 8 we find he had 5 sons while the Pentatuech claims he had 10 sons.

Both the Christian and the Jewish scholars are unanimous on the point that the statement made by the First Book of Chronicles is erroneous, and they have justified this error by saying that the Prophet Ezra could not distinguish and seperate the sons from the grandsons, because of the genealogical tables from which he quoted were defective and incomplete.

It is true that the three prophets (who wrote Pentatuech) were sincere followers of the Pentatuech. Now if we assume that pentatuech of Moses is the same as written by these people, it seems quite illogical that they should deviate or make mistakes in the divine book, neither was it possible that Ezra would wrongly trusted an incomplete and defective table of genealogy in such a matter of importance.

Their claim that three prophets commited mistakes in copying the names and the numbers of the sons of Benjamin leads us to another obvious conclusion that according to the Christians, the prophets are not protected from wrong action and can be involved in commiting major sins, similarly they can make mistakes in writing or preaching holy books.

THE EPISTLES AND REVELATIONS

The Epistle to the Hebrews, the Second epistle of Peter, the second and the third Epistle of John, the Epistle of Jacob, the Epistle of Jude are all wrongly attributed to apostles. This books considered to be doubtful till 363 AD, and are still considered to be doubtful by majority of the christian writers and scholars.

Horne says in the second volume of his commentry on pages 206 and 207:

"The following Epistles and verses have not been included in the Syrian version and the same was the case with Arabian churches: the second epistle of peter, the Epistle of Jude, both Epistles of John, the Revelation, the verses 2-11 of Chapter 8 of the Gospel of John and the chapter 5 verse 7 of the First Epistle of John. The translator of the Syrian version omitted them because he did not believe them to be Genuine." Ward confirms this in his book (1841) on page 37".

Rogers , a great scolar of the Protestant Faith has mentioned the name of a number of Protestant scholars who has declared this book to be false and excluded thm from the Holy Scriptures.

The Catholic Herald (1844) contains the following statement on page 206 of Vol. 7:

"Rose has written on page 161 of his book that many Protestant scholars considers the book of Revelation to be non-believeable. Professor Ewald has produced powerful arguments to prove that the Gospel of John and the Epistles of John and the Revelations of John cannot be writingsof same person."

Eusebius makes the folowing statement in chapter 25 of Vol. 7 of his history:

"Dionysius says that some ancient writers excluded this book of revelation from the holy scriptures and have completely refuted it. He said that this book is meaningless and a great example of ignorance. An association of this book with John or with a righteous man or with any Christian id wrong."

There are infinite arguments we can present to reject all the claims of the Christians regarding the authority of the books of the New Testament and the Old testament. This particular article was just written with the hope that it may show light to some people
 
ALIKUAMBIA NANI?


THE PRESENT PENTATEUCH IS NOT THE BOOK OF MOSES

The Pentateuch (Torah) included in the old testament is claimed to be the collection of the revealations of the Prophet Moses. We firmly claim that they do not possess any authority or support to prove that they were in fact revealed to Moses and they were written by him or through him. We possess sound arguments to support our claims.

THE FIRST ARGUMENT


The existance of Torah, Pentatuech, is not historically known before King Josiah (Josiah was the King of Judah in the period of Prophets Jermiah and Zephaniah.

He became the King of Judah when he was only eight years old. He ruled in Jerusalem for thirty-one years.), the son of Amon. The script of Pentatuech which was found by a preist called Hilkiah 18 years after Josiah's ascension to throne is not believeable solely on the grounds that it was found by a priest. Apart from this obvious fact, this book had again dissapeared before the invasion of Jerusalem by Nebucchadnezzar.

Not only the Pentatuech, but also all the books of the old testament were destroyed (See the Second Book of Esdras (14:19-48) for the event of the burning of the books.

The catholics still believe in these books while the protestants deny this event alltogether. However this incident described by the book of Nehemiah in chapter 8 confirms that Pentatuech was destroyed, and that Prophet Ezra had rewritten it and read it to the people.

It is strange to note catholic Bible (Knox Version 1963) omits the chapter in which this event is metioned. In this edition the book of Esdras finishes with 13th chapter) in this historical calamity. History does not evince any evidence of the existance of this books after the invasion.

According to the Christians the Pentatuech was rewritten by Prophet Ezra. This Book along with all its copies wer again destroyed and burnt by Antiochus (Antiochus IV was a famos king who captured Jerusalem in 168 BC and destroyed it just like Nebuchadnezzar had done before him. The first book of Macabees describes his invasion of Jerusalem and the incident of Burning of Pentatuech and its copies (I Maccabees 1:59).) at the time of his invasion of Jerusalem.

How many books of the Bible are 'truly inspired'?


Today, Christian sects are not agreed on the definition of what exactly is an "inspired" book of God.

The Protestants are taught that there are 66 truly "inspired" books in the Bible, while the Catholics have been taught that there are 73 truly "inspired" books, not to mention the many other sects and their "newer" books, such as the Mormons, etc.

As we shall see shortly, the very first Christians, for many generations, did not follow either the 66 books of the Protestants, nor the 73 books of the Catholics.

Quite the opposite, that generation believed in books that were, many generations later, "recognized" to be fabrications and apocrypha by a more enlightened age than that of the apostles and which have since been completely destroyed by the Church.

For more on this topic please read section 2.

Inspired? The bible? Here are 61 Reasons to doubt the Inspiration in the bible.

But the 'ancient copies' are exact copies of one-another, right?


Well, where do all of these Bibles come from and why the difficulty in defining what is a truly "inspired" word of God? Well, as we have just seen, they come from the "ancient manuscripts" (also known as "MSS" or "authorities").

The Christian world today is claimed to possess anywhere up to 24,000 "ancient manuscripts" of the Bible with a very few of them dating all the way back to the fourth century after Christ (but not back to Christ or the apostles themselves).

In other words, they have with them gospels and epistles which date back to the century when the Trinitarians took over the Christian Church. All manuscripts from before this period have strangely perished. All Bibles in existence today are compiled from these "ancient manuscripts." However, any reputable scholar of the Bible will tell us that no two ancient manuscripts are exactly identical.


"In any event, none of [the original manuscripts of the books of the Bible] now survive. What do survive are copies made over the course of centuries, or more accurately, copies of the copies of the copies, some 5,366 of them in the Greek language alone, that date from the second century down to the sixteenth.

Strikingly, with the exception of the smallest fragments, no two of these copies are exactly alike in their particulars. No one knows how many differences, or variant readings, occur among the surviving witnesses, but they must number in the hundreds of thousands."

SORRY CHARLIE; THE THREAD READS, BIBLIA IPI NI SAHIHI ??

People today generally believe that there is only ONE Bible, and ONE version of any given verse of the Bible. As we have begun to see, this is far from true. All Bibles in our possession today (Such as the KJV, the NRSV, the NASV, NIV,...etc.) are the result of extensive cutting and pasting from these various manuscripts with no single one being the definitive reference.

There are countless cases where a paragraph shows up in one "ancient manuscript" but is totally missing from many others. For instance, Mark 16:8-20 (twelve whole verses) is completely missing from the most ancient manuscripts available today but show up in more recent "ancient manuscripts."

There are also many documented cases where even geographical locations are completely different from one ancient manuscript to the next. For instance, in the "Samaritan Pentateuch manuscript," Deuteronomy 27:4 speaks of "mount Gerizim," while in the "Hebrew manuscript" the exact same verse speaks of "mount Ebal."

From Deuteronomy 27:12-13 we can see that these are two distinctly different locations. Similarly, Luke 4:44 in some "ancient manuscripts" mentions "Synagogues of Judea," others mention "Synagogues of Galilee." This is only a sampling, a comprehensive listing would require a book of its own.

The Lost Books of the Bible

Books Mentioned, But Not Found, In The Bible

Book of the Covenant

Exodus 24:7
And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the Lord hath said will we do, and be obedient.
There are those that believe the Book of the Covenant is found in Exodus chapters 20 through 23. There are no authoritative sources for this text.


Book of the Wars of the Lord

Numbers 21:14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the Lord, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
