The Nineteenth Book of The Tenement Gospel (the REAL Holy Bible)

The Tenement Gospel
(the REAL version of the original translation of the Holy Bible New Testament)

The Book of Brewdude
(the nineteenth book of The Tenement Gospel)

Chapter 1

    1 In all that be the universe, in what be all faiths, it be the truth that everything that be makin’ up what God be and that be chatted on by Mac Daddy of old through them who be the true prophets,
    2 They who be the true prophets of all faiths,
    3 It be these who be sayin’ everythin’ that be comprisin’ what God be for sho’ do be speakin’ to all them brothas who be havin’ the wisdom to open they hearts and minds,
    4 To the love that is for all and that be in all.
    5 And it be true that if one be allowin’ the full expression of what be the true mercy of all that be God to be interpretin’ the vision of they hearts,
    6 They minds will be encompassin’ all and shall be seein’ forever.
    7 An’ if that be happnin’ the heart an’ the soul of a man be becomin’ better than what it be when all he be havin’ was solely the interpretation of men.
    8 For it be that if men only be havin’ that which they be tellin’ theyselfs,
    9 And if men only be havin’ that which they have been known to be witholdin’ from one another in what be an effort to control that which they believe to exist,
    10 Then it be all the more difficult for them to be understandin’ they birth in this universe and they relationship to the understandin’ of all that be comprisin’ everythin’ that God be.
    11 An’ it be that angels be sayin’ to the men, Do you be seein’ that you be bein’ made as we of what be the same earth and wind and fire and water?
    12 An’ do you be seein’ that what be the throne of all that be God be everywhere an’ has been everywhere since before the plans were even be drawin’,
    13 Before the foundations for each day even be laid,
    14 Before the days began to stretch into what be eternity,
    15 Before eternity be beginnin’ to loop into all that be now.

Chapter 2

    1 Now ya’ll best be rememberin’ that it be important to be lisnin’ to all the messages that be fillin’ the day,
    2 And when you lay down at night and be realizin’ that you be missin’ a message or misinterpretin’ a message or skipped a message do not be afraid.
    3 For the angels have formerly been known to be sayin’, There is no transgression. Simply live yesterday for today, and tomorrow for each day.
    4 And always be rememberin’ that all be right now, ‘aight? And all that be now is and shall ever be.
    5 If ya’ll want to be escapin’ the neglect of what be yo salvations ya’lls gots to be realizin’ that salvations have always been around and they are for all, in all and through all.
    6 Know that there ain’t be one individual who be superior or inferior to another when it be comin’ to who be given salvations,
    7 But youz gots to be knowin’ that while salvations share neither superiority nor inferiority when it be comin’ to who they be for,
    8 It be the truth, foh-shizzle, that the character of one man or woman may be varyin’ in strength an’ viability when it be held up to the ingredients of another’s own character.
    9 For though it be true that salvations are for all,
    10 There are still those brothas who shall abuse their gift of freewill,
    11 Refusing’ to be makin’ decisions that be reflective of their innate understandin’ of love and the knowledge that everybody be havin’ love inside them since the beginnin’ of all things.
    12 Whether or not a brotha be wantin’ it to be, the fact be remainin’ that all things be bein’ in and of God and for and to God,
    13 And though it be the truth that men who be makin’ crappy-assed decisions are exactly as the poor be and always with all us muthas,
    14 This don’t be fudgin’ up the truth of the Tenement Gospel and all salvations bein’ for everyone,
    15 An’ it be bein’ because of this truth that ya’ll don’t be needin’ to label these muthas as fallen since it is quite true, foh-shizzle it is, that all men shall find their way to God and all that be comprisin’ of what God is.
    16 For there is not one man or woman anywhere who be saved by any kind of sufferin’ since sufferin’ in the first place is what be the clear indicator that what a brotha be doin’ or thinkin’ be contrary to what be a clear, strong, healthy and wide path.
    17 And though some o’ ya’ll be sayin’ that sufferin’ be the best and only way a slave of the Gospel of Disaster be savin’ enough kudos for heaven,
    18 These non-sensical ravins’ cain’t be changin’ the truth that there don’t need to be sufferin’.
    19 For soon as a brotha be embracin’ the Tenement Gospel he shall be bein’ free from slavery of any type the very moment he be havin’ the truth held firmly in the clutches of what be his heart.

Fantasy in the Bible: Leviticus

Leviticus. Wow...what can I say? Leviticus is one long Biblical book about sacrifice and where the blood from said sacrifices should be sprinkled...a little bit of blood here on the alter, a little bit of blood there on the horn of the alter, and a little blood on the temple curtain or floor for good measure. NICE.

See, the problems here with Leviticus are not just the very, very detailed descriptions of the sacrifices (wring the head from the neck of the turtle dove, kill the lamb at the door of the temple before the Lord, and all that craziness; please go to this link to read Leviticus: http://etext.virginia.edu/toc/modeng/public/KjvLevi.html)...but WHY are these people having to kill all these animals just to be forgiven of their sins?

There are plenty of people who like to try to pass of this vicious book in the Holy Bible as a book of worship. You know what, with all the killing of the different animals and all the sacrifice it sounds like some damned demonic cult that just likes killing things to atone for crap. Yep. All of you holy-schmoley poo-bahs out there listen up, alright? Your God is a sicko. He is not any better than the slime so-called Satanic religions from now-a-days that hurt animals or people in an effort to scare the rest of the people on the planet. Losers.

Seriously! WHAT is the justification for killing something totally innocent in order that something or someone that is guilty of something may be forgiven? This is an incredibly STUPID line of reasoning! There is no true absolution of any wrong doing just because something INNOCENT has been killed. There isn't ANY absolution at all. You IDIOTS! The problems get BIGGER by doing things like that. Don't you know this?

 So, in Leviticus the supposedly loving God of the Universe instructs people (explicitly so) that the best way to fix their problems is to kill innocent things. Yes. I keep repeating this. Why? Well, maybe you will finally get a grip as to how stupid it is if you hear it several times. Doesn't that sound like a fine God, hum? Dear God, I fucked up and sinned. Dear sinner, say you are sorry to your neighbor for stealing his cow, return the cow, and then kill a couple of doves or maybe a goat without blemish.

That there is a smooth God. Then there are Christians/Religious Folk who say that none of that matters anymore since the NEW covenant with man happened when Jesus died on the cross...the biggest, baddest, most blemish-free sacrifice of all time. That made it so people didn't have to kill all the animals anymore. You know, that line of explanation is not really helping God out in the claim that He is all-knowing. Why didn't He do that to begin with? Wouldn't He have known how things were going to go?

STILL we come back to the interesting question of why anything or anyone has to die in order to pay for 'sin' or wrong-doing? This is stupid. Death...something or someone dying...does not make the consequences of something terrible that someone has done any better. What DON'T people get about this? What is SO GODDAMN hard to understand?

Any God or being that demands death as restitution for wrong-doing on a spiritual/religious level is a fraud. All of humanity has 'sinned' so therefore they need Jesus' blood from the cross as the sacrifice of the unblemished lamb? What the freaky-doo is wrong with this picture? Death IS NOT an appropriate salvation, hope, faith, spiritual/religious end product...whatever you want to call it.

And don't even try selling people on this sacrifice absurdity by saying that they just don't understand God. I don't understand your God? I understand your God just fine, pal. He's a killer who seems to look for reasons to kill something. Everything with the Christian God has to do with death. Think about it. In the Old Testament this God demands regular blood sacrifice. In the New Testament this God supposedly allows/sends His only son to die for the sins of humanity..as a blood sacrifice on the Cross. Nowadays, loads of Holy Bible/Christianity/God pushers will tell you that if you do not believe in their God, in their Holy Bible, live in the manner their God and Bible says...that you will die.

What a load of crap.

Divine Pish-Posh Part I: The Creation Myth

The Christian Holy Bible's story of Creation is probably one of the most well known of such stories. In only six days the universe and everything in it is created by God. Reference these Holy Bible verses so that you may read this for yourself: Genesis 1:1-31; 2:1-3. Psalms 8:3; 33:6-7, 9. There are many, many verses that directly concern Creation, but listing all of them is counter-productive. If you wish to find more Creation verses simply Google it.

Creation myths all lack the very same things: a scientific approach, a common sense approach, a real and true search for cause and effect.

Creation myths also all share some very interesting qualities: zero proof of said story, absurd claims, impossible or improbable sequences of events.

Why have so many cultures nurtured such myths? Perhaps some of the reasons for this is to maintain certain aspects of heritage and culture, to learn about the consequences of good and evil deeds by stories of gods and heroes and villains, to establish some type of spiritual foundation and respect, to help explain all facets of existence (to include all things supernatural) that humans do not understand, and even to serve as a unifying and longevity factor for some cultures.

And of course there is the entertainment factor. What better way to spread the favorite stories of one's culture with individuals of neighboring cultures and nations than to weave colorful, amazing, and captivating stories that each hold fast to specific beliefs held dear by the storytellers? I encourage you to go and research the creation myths of as many different cultures as possible. You will find an amazing array of fantastic acts of heroism, numerous stories of selfish and self-less gods alike, stories of slavery and freedom, of life and death and rebirth.

Many biblical historians date the written creation of the Pentateuch by Moses to be around 1400 B.C.E. to 1280 B.C.E. Creation myths with Enuma Elis, or with Marduk over Tiamat have been suggested to date around 1800 B.C.E. to 1100 B.C.E. Some Sumerian myths have been dated to be around 2150 B.C.E. Egyptian myths from the 5th and 6th dynasties date to around 2375 B.C.E. to 2184 B.C.E.

People can squabble over whose myth is the oldest and therefore the most viable. Yet, perhaps the specific approach of trying to pinpoint the oldest of such writings (in order to establish ONE specific myth as THE truth) is contrary to the purpose of the creation of the myths in the first place.

I think that maybe the myths just share different viewpoints and associations and perceptions of what is thought to be man's progression through existence, to include all things supernatural. And maybe myth is also about remembering what and who man has been in order that he better understand how far he has come and who he is now.

And who he may be in the future.

These myths are not intended to be taken as truth. This is what atheists, at least some of them, are trying to say. This is precisely what some atheists are trying to prove as they go point by point over the ridiculousness of Christianity, trying to show the severe inconsistencies and the sheer lunacy of accepting mythology as ultimate truth. It is about opening the eyes of the deluded. These stories are not meant to be taken literally, to be used as tools of separation, to be used as tools of subjugation, or to be used as tools of fear. They are ALL PRETEND.

This is why I write what I write. Remove the blindfold, all ye immersed in swallowing what Christianity crams into your mouth. Remove the blindfold.
