Power of Pen(c(i)l)s “Thus, in A.D. 303, when Constantine commissioned new versions of Christian writings, it enabled the custodians of orthodoxy to revise, edit, and rewrite the material as they saw fit, in accordance with their tenets. It was at this point that most of the crucial alterations in the New Testament were apparently made –of the five thousand extant early manuscript versions of the New Testament, not one predates the fourth century. According to the authors of “Holy Blood, Holy Grail”, the New Testament, as it exists today, is essentially a product of fourth-century editors and writers –custodians of orthodox Christianity, “adherents of the message” with vested interests to protect.” Emerson, DeAnna; Mars / Earth Enigma, Galde Press, USA, 1996, p. 256.
“Tyranny has no enemy so formidable as the pen.” “Zorbalýðýn kalemden daha zorlu bir düþmaný yoktur.” William Cobbett (1763?-1835), British journalist and social reformer. |
“The Hebrew word, almah, which the Septuagint translators have rendered parthenos, does not mean ‘virgin’, but ‘young woman’, that is, any young woman of marriable age. ... Hence the Christian writer’s claim that the virgin birth of Jesus is a fulfilment of the Isaianic oracle is based on a mistranslation of the Hebrew. Hooke, S. H., Middle Eastern Mythology, Penguin Books, GB, 1963, p. 171.
