In the Beginning
was the Wisdom, NOT Word
&
IT CERTAINLY WAS
NOT JESUS!
By: Shahid Bin Waheed
One of the Christian Trojan horses is John 1:1 to dupe the naïve and ignorant
by throwing vague, ambiguous and implicit verses which covers most of the
hearsay in the Christian Bible, while rest is copied from the Old Testament
without context. Let us make
some sense out of it and straight the record:
John KJV reads:
1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the
Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Let us read like this!
1:1 In the beginning was the Wisdom, and the Wisdom was with God, and the Wisdom was God.
Before you wonder that why I did that? Let
me inform you that I didn’t, it was a German scholar by the name of “Manfred Barthel” who wrote a
book in German under title “Was Wirklich in der Bibel Steht” in 1924. This book
has been translated into English by Mark Howson under the title “What
the Bible Really Says.” I have the 1984 edition in my possession that was
published by Bell Publishing Company, distributed by Crown
Publishers, Inc. by arrangement with William Morrow & Company, Inc.
ISBN
0-517-460025.
The author Manfred Barthel said on Page
345 3rd paragraph that I quote:
Substitute “wisdom” for “the Word” (the
Greek logos means both), and the meaning is very clear: God’s wisdom
created all things and God existed even before “the beginning” in which the
heavens and earth were created.
Now, we see that John 1:1 makes sense by taking Christians’
absurd claim out of equation i.e. “the Word” and implication that this alleged word was Jesus
etcetera.
The Christians also claims that they have the
original manuscripts, which are about 25, 000 in numbers. My question to them
is why don’t you publish your Bibles in two columns like Muslims publish
Glorious Qur’aan. One side the original language i.e. Arabic and other side in
the translation in any language. Fact of the matter is that the hoax of
original manuscripts can be seen here and here.
But the problem Christians especially their
missionaries have that their claims of alleged 25, 000 manuscripts are a hollow
claims. Because all the manuscripts of the Bible, be it OT or NT, they have no
two are alike. In fact most of them are fragments and bits and pieces and no
one can make out any sense of them. In order to save the face these Christians
sometimes pass on the Greek translation of the Bible with false claim that it
is the original, which it is not?
In order to deal with Christians’ forgeries one
must outright reject their claims and demand to examine the translation of the
Bible with the original, which Christians and Jews both don’t have beside their
fancies.
Therefore, anything they try to pass on as Bible and/or
the {alleged}
true word of God is nothing more than a counterfeit
that has been fabricated out of hearsay and conjecture.
See the allegedly preserved word of God, how it can be?
