Christianity -- Controversial literature; Free thought
Another reason why there are four gospels, according to Irenaeus, was
because the Cherubim had four faces. But he thus calls attention to the
fact that Christianity was spawned in the sties of paganism, as the Jews
took the four beasts of the Cherubim, the bull, the lion, the eagle and
the man, from the idolatrous Babylonians. And the four Evangelists
adopted the four beasts as their totems and placed their beastly images
on the four gospels. The Maya Indians and the Mexicans worshipped the
same four idols of the four quarters of the heavens.—Ency. Brit. 12-823.
The priests of the Ojibways wear the horns of the bull and sacrifice to
the dragon or great serpent (Mary) that wears on its head the crescent
moon. They also worship the eagle and the Tree of Life. The Ojibway
picture writing shows that the Indian Adam and Eve had the same
disgraceful scandal in the garden of Eden. See “Indians,” Ency.

It is claimed that Apollonius of Tyana (alleged to be the original of
Paul and Christ) came through a medium and said: “Nine epistles were
made a present to me by Pharaotes, a Satrap of Taxila, between Babylon
and India. These epistles contained all that is embraced in the present
epistles claimed to have been written by Paul. Further, I retired to the
Isle of Patmos in 69 and 70 A. D. and wrote in a trance state an almost
identical story with that attributed to St. John. The Christian Gospels
were all preached by me at Jerusalem, Ephesus, Philippi, Rome, Antioch,
Alexandria and Babylon, and in all those countries I healed the sick,
cured the blind and raised the dead. The original of the four gospels I
obtained at Singapore. They treated of the four stages of the life of
Buddha.”—Antiquity Unveiled, 21.
Moses and God were mad at the Midianites because the Jews had entered
into the tents of the Midianite ladies and worshipped Baal Poer, from
which ensued a plague among the Congregation of the Lord. Num. 31-18.
And they warred against the Midianites, as the Lord commanded, and slew
all the males and took all the women and children captive. Moses was
wroth because they had saved all the women and children, and ordered all
the males among the children to be killed and all the females to be
turned over to the soldiers for outrage. And he ordered all the women
murdered except the virgins, of whom 16,000 went to the soldiers and
16,000 to the people, but the soldiers and the people were compelled to
pay of these into the storehouse of the Lord 3200 in tithes. “And the
priests laid with the virgins at the door of the Tabernacle.” Such a
monstrosity of iniquity, such a fiend incarnate from the shades of Hell
is the senior member of the firm of Moses and the Lamb.
