THE BUSINESSMEN OF GOD
LIBERTY BELL is not the only periodical to bring out an
Anniversary Issue at this time (Aug./Sept. 84 issue). The
CHRISTIAN Century has published a special anniversary issue
that contains an article by the Reverend Mr. Peter Fleck, from
which a fairly long excerpt was reproduced in the CHRISTIAN NEWS
for 17 October. The holy man asks, "Isn't Christianity the
gentile version of Judaism? Among those who would say so is
Pope Pius XI, who proclaimed in 1938: 'Through Christ and in
Christ we descend spiritually from Abraham .... Christians
are spiritually Semites.' Krister Stendahl has called
gentile Christians 'honorary Jews.' "
Fleck answers his own question by concluding that
Christians must "recognize the early church as the Jewish
sect it was, whose separation from Judaism resulted not from
Jesus' teachings but from doctrines defined and promulgated
by Paul and the church fathers." He goes on to argue that the
Jews were entirely justified in refusing to recognize a christ
who didn't put over the revolution he attempted, and quotes
writers in the JOURNAL OF ECUMENICAL STUDIES to that effect.
Catholics who believe that the capture of their church began
only after the death of Pius XII in 1958 should note the
statement attributed to his predecessor. I need not remark
again on the absurdity of treating the word 'christ' as a
personal name instead of a title assumed by would-be kings of
the Jews.
**************
A despatch from the Associated Press that appeared on the
first page of the ST.LOUIS GLOBE-DEMOCRAT for 15-16 October
1983, and was doubtless printed in many other newspapers,
reminded me of an article by Ralph Perier that was published
in the LIBERTY BELL in 1980 and reprinted as a small book
let, "RELIGION AND RACE," which is still available from
the publisher (L.B. Publications, Box 21, Reedy WV 25270
USA). In that booklet, the author suggests that an
enterprising evangelist in the salvation-business could make hay
out of one of the early Christian gospels which contains the
revelation that the Holy Ghost is a female who
engendered the Christians' Jesus by infusing milk from her
breast into Mary's womb.
So far as I know, none of the many competing promoters has
taken up that suggestion, which should be a sure-fire hit
at the present time, when screeching Jewesses are inciting
in unattractive women an hysterical demand for repeal of the
laws of biology, but, according to the GLOBE-DEMOCRAT's
article, the wily National Council of Churches is trying to
tap that market with a "series of Bible readings" in which "God
is portrayed as both Father and Mother." The National
Council of Churches, cynically aware that they are dealing
only with a collection of Jewish myths, had no
hesitation in falsifying the text of a book that
Christians MUST believe to be of divine authority and
"inerrant," if their minds are capable of thought. The newspaper
article (confirmed by NEWSWEEK, 24 October) gives examples
of the brash revisions by which the National Council tries
to capitalize on the cur rent vogue of silliness. One
example is the well-known passage that declared that Jesus was
Yahweh's only son; it now reads, "For God so loved the world
that God gave God's only child," etc.
This revision of the text creates problems that the
theologians of the National Council have not yet solved.
How does a god who is both Mother and Father procreate a child
who, it would seem, is neither male nor female? I can offer
them only one suggestion.
Although the Jews (as shown by the Elephantine papyri) had
goddesses in their pantheon in the fifth century B.C.,
they later concentrated their religion on Yahweh, who was
originally only the chief of their gods, and when they had the
happy idea of appropriating the Stoics' monotheism, they
identified the Stoics' * animus mundi *, which was not
anthropomorphic and was therefore sexless, with their male
god. This created a difficulty which the Talmudists solved by
imagining an archetypal being who was an exact duplicate of
their god and existed before the creation of the world. This
archetype, the "original man" (* Adam Kadmoni *, who is
called the "heavenly man" in Philo Judaeus and the later
Kabbalah), was the model copied when Yahweh created the first
human being, and since Adam was an hermaphrodite, the earthly
Adam must also have been an hermaphrodite--at least until
Yahweh performed a sex operation on him to produce the first
female, with the disastrous consequences described later in
* Genesis *.
Now several Christian gospels, notably the Clementine
* Recognitiones *, one of the most important of the gospels
that were overlooked or excluded when the "New Testament" was
put together, specifically declares that Jesus was Adam returned
to earth, and since we may assume that Adam in that epiphany
was in his pristine and perfect state, it would follow that
Jesus was an hermaphrodite.
I think that if the National Council would thus clarify
their new doctrine, they could go to town with it, taking
advantage of the latest trend in one of America's most
profitable businesses. Pornography has been suffering from a
mild recession, since there are only two kinds of sexual organs
and the limited number of possible combinations of them has
been exhausted to satiety. The leaders in the business have
now turned to the fresh and exciting subject of hermaphrodites
and they have discovered a number of creatures (chiefly
androgynes, it seems) whom nature has endowed with the
requisites for stardom in films which have the great
appeal of novelty to connoisseurs of such matters. A little
cooperation between the National Council and the more
progressive pornographers could produce substantiation of
the new "Bible readings" by similarly revising the old
cinema, "Sign of the Cross," to produce a version that would
surely wow our contemporary audiences.
