Saint Paul: : Architect of the World's Greatest Fraud

No evidence exists of a person called Jesus Christ in Judea in the first century. No historian, Jewish or Roman made any reference to him. Yet it is alleged that there was great rejoicing by the people of Jerusalem and Judea when Jesus was born as a result of a union between his virgin mother Mary and a new God in the sky. The only account of Jesus is in the gospels, but they did not make their appearance until mid-second century. Contrasting significantly with the gospels version of Jesus is a trickle of credible evidence of a much venerated non-divine Jesus Christ operating a Greek Gnostic church early in the first century in a Jordan River community in eastern Judea. After his death at the hands of the Jewish Sanhedrin in Jerusalem around 35CE, Paul of Tarsus changed the story of Jesus, to make him a glorious Son of God waiting in heaven to someday return. Copying directly from the fables of the Son of God Mithra, and other Sons of Gods, Paul presented Jesus as a Pagan Son of God lookalike, and started the first Catholic Church for the sole purpose of attracting paying customers. He assured customers that they would be saved on Earth and go to Heaven when they died to be reunited with their loved ones. A pattern with similarities to the fraudulent Ponzi Scheme of the twentieth century. It slowly became successful, particularly after the Jewish nation was destroyed by the Romans in the great war of 132-135CE. As soon as Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity in the fourth century, the rising Catholic Church ordered that all evidence of Pagan Sons of Gods and that of the Jordan River Jesus be destroyed. As well, all Gnostic churches throughout Judea and Jordan be destroyed and resident Gnostic priests taken out and murdered. Finally, all Gnostic gospels bearing the name Jesus Christ were to be located and burnt. The only story now surviving was that of the Catholic version of Jesus as a miraculous Son of God. That fraud and forgery was rife in writing the gospels and laying the foundations of Christianity is now accepted by many historians, academics and even some clergymen. Church historian M. M. Mosheim, suggested that “The Christian Fathers deemed it a pious act to employ deception and fraud.” The Rev Henry H Milman, can also be quoted; “Pious fraud was admitted and avowed by the early missionaries of Jesus.” Bishop Ellicott admitted that; “It was an age of literary frauds.” It is therefore hoped that this book will provide an incentive for people to think again about Christianity, its beginnings and its power and wealth creation for the owners of the Christian Churches.
