Did Jesus Exclude Gentiles?

When Jesus appeared and was aggressively promoted as the true messiah, the
Jews initially were attracted by his charisma and message of salvation and
promise to escort them to the kingdom of heaven on doomsday. They were
special, Jesus said, for there would be no hope or preached promises to
anyone other than God's chosen people--the Jews. According to Saint Matthew,
thus spake Jesus to his disciples:

"Go not into the way of the Gentiles....but go rather to the lost sheep of
the house of Israel....I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of
Israel." (Matthew 10:7, Matthew 15:24)

Jesus emphasized the imminence of the end of the world and the arrival of
the kingdom of heaven for the Jews:

"And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand....Ye shall
not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the son of Man be come."
(Matthew 10:5-6, 23).

Thus, the end of the world would come so soon that Jesus' disciples would
not even have time to spread the word to all of the Jews in the cities of
Israel. But, as the years went by without the coming of the son of God and
his promised apocalypse, many Jews stopped listening to the apostles.
Fearing loss of priestly power, the church fathers took matters into their
own hands.


Forging New Rules for the Gentiles

The church fathers decided to expand their influence by extending Jesus'
promise of salvation to the ones ignored by Jesus--the pagan Gentiles-- the
uncircumcised. Joseph Wheless, in "Is It God's Word?", explains:

"The gentiles were the superstitious pagans of Palestine, Asia Minor, and
parts thereabouts; they were steeped in belief in all the fables of all the
gods of the heathen world. They knew nothing of the Jewish Scriptures or of
the promised Messiah; they had no critical sense in religion, but, like Paul
and his converts, believed all things and hoped all things. A new God was to
them just one more god among many."

Thus, the Gentiles were ripe for harvesting, and so the deceitful priestly
fathers fraudulently appended the following verses to the end of Saint
Matthew's gospel:

"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."(Matthew 28:19-20).

If we  weren't certain the verses above are a forgery, our wonderment
at Jesus' apparent turn-around would know no bounds: just eighteen chapters
earlier, in Matthew 10.5, Jesus was telling his disciples, "Go not into the
way of the Gentiles."!

The Gospel of Mark also fell victim to a later forger's pen. The last twelve
verses of Mark are late additions:

".....And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel
to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved....And
they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and
confirming the word with signs following. Amen."(Mark 16:12-20)

Thus, the illiterate peasants to whom the fathers preached received two
different messages-- depending on their faith. The Jews heard that they were
the favored "lost sheep" in the first parts of Matthew and Mark--which were
the only parts read to them, while the Gentiles were read the words of
salvation from the forged endings: believeth and be saved.


Apostles' Actions Expose the Lies

As will be shown below, the apostles did not know that Jesus had evidently
changed his mind and decided to allow Gentiles into the kingdom of heaven.
They could not know it because, as we have already alleged, Jesus' mind was
changed only in the lying imaginations of the forging fathers. Damning proof
of this is offered below, where we begin by looking closely at the behavior
of Simon Peter.


A Doubting Peter Agrees to Meet Gentiles

While in a trance, Peter had a vision that he should meet with the Gentiles.
His doubt about the meaning of this vision is strong evidence that Jesus
never told his disciples to convert the Gentiles:

"Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean."
(Acts 10:9-17).

Meanwhile, a Gentile centurion from Caesarea named Cornelius had a
revelation that he should meet with Peter to be converted to the all-Jewish
sect (Acts 10:1-9). Learning of this, Peter, still doubtful, met with
Cornelius and his household. As further proof that Peter knew nothing of
Jesus' command to his disciples to teach and baptize those of all nations,
we have these words from Peter to Cornelius and his family:

"Ye know how it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep
company, or come unto one of another nation." (Acts 10:17-28)

Peter, however, also told Cornelius that a revelation had tentatively led
him to "perceive that...he that feareth [God], and worketh righteousness, is
accepted with him." (Acts 10:34-35). Thus, it is only through a
revelation--not the fraudulent "teach all nations" command by Jesus-- that
Peter was able to "perceive" that God would accept righteous Gentiles. This
is virtually certain proof that Peter never heard Jesus' tell him and his
disciples to "teach all nations", and therefore that the final verses of
Matthew and Mark are late forgeries.


The Apostles Were Angry at Peter

The apostles also evidently did not know anything about an alleged command
by Jesus to "go, teach all nations....preach the gospel to every creature",
because they were upset that Peter had embraced the Gentiles:

"And when Peter had come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the
circumcision, contended with him, Saying, Thou wentest in to men
uncircumcised, and didst eat with them." (Acts 11:2, 3).

Peter defended himself, explained his trance vision and Cornelius's
revelation, and the speaking in tongues, and then told the apostles,

"Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us,....what am
I, that I could withstand God? When they heard these things, they held their
peace, and glorified God, saying, Then God also to the Gentiles granted
repentance unto life." (Acts 11:4-18).

If the apostles ever had heard the son of God urge the acceptance of the
Gentiles, and if they had actually "preached everywhere"--as alleged by
Matthew and Mark, they surely never would have questioned Peter's meeting
with the Gentiles.

As if the foregoing were not proof enough of the cynical forgeries of the
church fathers, we discuss below further incriminating comments by learned
authorities


Council of Trent: The Word of God

Concerning the genuineness of Mark 16:9-20, the Catholic Encyclopedia
states,

"...The combination of so many peculiar features, not only of vocabulary,
but of matter and construction, leaves room for doubt....it is not at all
certain that Mark did not write the disputed verses. It may be that he did
not; that they are from the pen of another inspired author....Catholics are
not bound to hold that the verses were written by St. Mark. But they are
canonical Scripture, for the Council of Trent [1],....[defined] that all
parts of the Sacred books are to be received as sacred and
canonical......Hence, whoever wrote the verses, they are inspired, and must
be received as such by every Catholic" [2].

Now isn't this remarkable? According to the inspired fathers at the Council
of Trent, whoever wrote the disputed verses, they are inspired even if they
are fake. Constrained as the editors of the Catholic Encyclopedia were by
the demands of doctrinal adherance, it is remarkable how much is revealed by
the words above, which conform to the letter of the church law, but surely
not the spirit in their near-confession of the forgeries in Mark.

Hear also the words of the New Standard Bible Dictionary, and the
Encyclopedia Biblica, as quoted by Joseph Wheless in "Forgery In
Christianity": Mark 16:9-20

"has against it the testimony of the two oldest [related manuscripts] [3],
which close the chapter at verse 8. In addition to this is the very
significant silence of Patristic literature as to anything following verse
8" [4], and Mark 16:9-20 "is admittedly not genuine." [5]
