It is said that the Holy Bible is the "inspired" word of God.
"Inspired" simply means extraordinary quality of creative external impulse. But truth be told the Bible was written by men/ scribes of flesh with either great imagination for story telling or historians simply recording the traditions, beliefs, practices of a civilization. Who truly knows the original words of God when there have been countless translating, adding and subtracting scriptures. Not to mention meetings held to make important decisions on what to include in the Bible such as the meeting of "The 1st Counsel of Nicaea" where religious men met and made decisions on the Christological nature of Jesus, his relationship to the father and adding pagan holidays to worship him like Easter! How do we know these men were "Inspired by God?" There were over 1800 ( some say 300 actually showed)Bishops and attendees which included Priests and Catholic Bishops.
Not to mention Constantine Emperor of Rome who was a member of Sol Invictus ( Unconquered Sun). Constantine who could mingle well with both Pagan and Christians alike was familiar with Sun God worship. So maybe even he knew the truth about the Greek name "Jesus" when he supposedly "converted."
so you see the connections?? I hope so!
In Terms of translating the Bible to our current version (King James) well get ready for some interesting findings!
Why The King James Bible?
The most well known and most accepted version of today is the KJV. It is in almost every Christian churches, homes, hotel dressers you can basically get one for free! Why is this Bible the most easily obtained? Considering the cost of printing them. Some say it is the closes translation of God's words we own. What led them to such a confident declaration? Why do we trust it only and condemn the mere thought of other "missing" gospels?
There is no evidence none can provide to state their claims or justifiable proof that KJV is indeed error proof word of God.
"KJV Bible was produced from a half-dozen relatively late manuscripts selected by Erasmus who used them in 1516 to write the Greek text employed by the King James translators—who themselves placed critical notes and variant readings in the first edition. Actually, they used Erasmus’ text as it had been revised by Stephanus (1551) and Beza (1589–1598). Yet KJVO writers assume that these manuscripts were somehow "divinely inspired" and "preserved from all error". Out of the hundreds of carefully copied Old Testament Hebrew manuscripts and the thousands of New Testament Greek manuscripts, only a small portion of these manuscripts were actually divinely inspired and protected in order to produce the King James Bible. Obviously, those who defend the King James Version only must claim to know which of all the manuscript copies were inspired and which were not. On what basis do they make such a claim?"-Edwin A. Blum, "The Apostles’ View of Scripture,"
Rather than assume that only one family of manuscripts has been divinely inspired and protected, the evidence tells us that no single manuscript or family of manuscripts is 100% perfect. Why? Because copyists’ errors exist in every manuscript we possess and this can be proven merely by looking at them.
Even very careful copyists always make a few mistakes. But if no manuscript is perfect, this is also true for Bible translations.
King James (KJV)
Who is this infamous King that goes by the name James? Who stamps the Holy Word of God with his own name and title? Who won the trust of so many Christians?
If you do a Google search you will find tons of information on King James. The problem is shifting through the Bias portrayals of his life to know who he truly was. I myself had not found substantial information at first and this bothered me, there are 100 different sides telling 100 different versions. Atheist vs Christians, both with an agenda and your trying to find a medium. So I look for evidence and links (not web links but history linkages).Sometimes you just have to do a bit of detective work, and approach such important topics with a clear un bias mindset (mind you this is something very personal to me) eventually things began to add up!
I stumbled upon a YouTube video of a man exposing a Freemason Bible 1 year ago which stunned me! The man in the video was a Christian who some how got a hold of this Bible and was supposedly using it to expose the freemasons. I remember this video and watched it again recently as I was putting the pieces together. With a bit of research I found a Christian site exposing the various freemason symbols scattered all over the 1611 KJV Bible! ( I am not sure if this was the same Bible shown on YouTube but it was still relevant to the topic at hand).
Here is a link to the site:

This was a Christian believer of the KJV attempting to prove that "Satan" tried to add to the word of God but did not succeed. I chuckled to myself shaking my head at the ignorance of fundamentalist Christians who try to cover up or deny truth and when they can no longer do so, they expose it as a work of Satan. I remember something about King James and his connection to Masonry ( a pagan order), KJ had an editor name Sir Francis Bacon who was a 33rd degree freemason. He was the one reported to have place these symbols in the 1611 KJV and although some Christians swear up on down that he did not have a hand in the Bible, evidence is clear that He did. But there was no evidence that King James had a problem with it, or that he made a fuss. The Puritans had a huge issue though and demanded to have these illustrations removed.
You know that old saying "Birds of a feather flock together?" What was King James doing handing over this Bible to a Freemason to edit or look over? So I am to believe that King James (being a King) had no association with Masonry? Why did it even dawn on Bacon to add those illustrations to the Bible? Yet Christians proudly proclaim their KJV. Bible named after a king who had association in an Occult order.
Maybe... when Sir Bacon read this Bible, he related the figure (Jesus or other elements) to have striking resemblance to ancient pagan beliefs!
Today the KJV Bible is the Center of Freemasonry rituals and foundations.
As you can see on this link Masons Love their Bibles!

So did the Illuminati had a hand in the Bible. Based on these findings...high possibility. They love throwing up the "devil sign" or the "horned sign" of a Bull!
KJV 1611
"In the 1611 KJ New Testament the name Yahshua (Yehoshua) appeared originally wherever the Messiah was spoken of. Yehoshua means Yehovah's (Jehovah's) Salvation. Later the
Messiah's name was replaced with Iesus (Greek) which later in the 1600's it became Jesus starting with the new English letter "J" which was introduced at that time. Further, the Greek "Iesus"
comes from the name Zeus, the ruling God in the Greek pantheon."--Gospel of The Kingdom
True Names and Title Dr. Henry Clifford Kinley 1931 - Ohio USA
So are christians unknowingly worshiping an old ancient God? A sun God? that is now known as "Jesus?" passed down from ancient Canaanite Gods? Again high Possibility and the evidences are piling.
Note from Author:
My intent was never to refute or disprove Christianity. I began my research on the bases of wanting to learn more about my faith and to refute anti-Christians who did not believe in what I did. But in my search to learn more about the God I served for over 30 years it has led me to these findings I could not ignore. I am still on a journey and I welcome any who wish to refute my findings with sound evidence and logic. Refute history because History is what brought us to where we are now. If you cannot then leave with some understanding of my reasons. Most Christians only follow this Bible because they were brought up under an authority who was devoted to it. They believe it to be true based on what they see of other Christians or some "personal encounter". The pastor of my church made the statement "I believed the bible had to be true because of what I saw in my parents and others around me." what did he see? A change in lifestyle perhaps. It sure was not his deep study and research of this book and its history that led him to a conclusion but it was a legacy left by his fathers.
I am not here to discourage any Christian from their faith but only to challenge this faith, just as you would any other faiths.
It is also interesting that when I stumble across Christian apologetic articles and sites such as CARM...they are un able to give clear understanding or answer to the question "Did Christians and Jews borrow their theology from pagan Mythology?" . Read in the link below how they attempt to refute this very topic on Canaanites influence by answering a question with their own questions! They danced around the topic, mention some ambiguous secular scholars ( note how they make sure to mention these scholars are "secular" to attempt to nullify any trust. Be careful this type of attempt is bases for bias information!), they demonize and ostracize the Canaanites! All in attempt to make this idea laughable or absurd to readers! All the while NEVER providing ANY SOUND FACTS OR EVIDENCES that history has clearly shown and proven!

I am not an Atheist because I still believe that there is a creator that exists, I currently believe all religion is false and all worship the same pagan gods. Christians will say Satan parallel these Gods, but going back as far as the ancient civilizations, clearly there is more to it than what is told. No where in the Bible or any where else does it state Satan practices parallelism of this nature just simple speculations. And if indeed this is true, how can we be sure that this current faith isn't another one of Satan's deceptive device? The Bible seems to be regurgitated tales of other Ancient epics and folk lores, it seems more like a modified book that serves mostly to express the culture and belief of a group. A culture that took many of its own beliefs from an earlier civilization in history. I have no time for theory or assumptions provided in Christendom any longer. Honestly this has hurt me deeply but I can't stop digging!
Please look out for my next research on "Satan" currently in the works!
