The Book of Eskra is part of the Oahspe Bible is a spiritual text first published in 1882. It was authored by John Ballou Newbrough, A New York dentist who was clairvoyant and clairaudient. He received the content through automatic writing, a process where he acted as a medium under the influence of divine forces. The text presents itself as a new revelation from Jehovah (the Creator) and angelic beings.
Book of Eskra
Looeamong is a false god (a fallen angel or etherean spirit) who was originally a Lord under higher authority but became a false ruler. He claimed the title “Kriste” (Christ, meaning “all knowledge” in Ahamic language). He inspired warrior tribes called Christians, promoted violence, and used mortal agents like Constantine to establish dominance. This appears in the Book of Eskra (chapters around XLVII and others), where Looeamong is described as a distinct entity who betrayed allies and proclaimed himself the false Christ.
Book of Eskra – Looeamong claims to be Kriste
In this passage (from God’s Book of Eskra, chapters around 48), the false god Looeamong (who claims to be Kriste/Christ) decides to gain a mortal emperor to defeat rival pagan gods.
- Looeamong orders his chief angel Thoth (later called Gabriel) to inspire Hatuas (a name for Constantine), a man who can see and hear angels, to raise an army of 40,000 men and march on Rome.
- Near the plains of Agatha, Looeamong shows a vision of a cross with blood letters “IL’KRISTE” to Hatuas and his soldiers. Later, Looeamong explains it means “IN THIS THOU SHALT CONQUER!” He commands Hatuas to make a decorated cross inscribed “THE KRISTE, OUR LORD, SON OF THE HOLY GHOST,” carry it at the army’s head, and write edicts (called bulls) in lamb’s blood.
- With this sign, Hatuas wins victories, giving Looeamong’s angels power on earth equal to pagan gods’ angels.
- Thoth/Gabriel captures Baal and millions of warring angels, casts them into hell (Makavishtu in hada), walled with fire and gases. This ends Baal’s 3,000-year rule and pagan earthly dominion.
- The earth is now free of old evil gods, but suffers only from Triunes like Looeamong.
- Looeamong inspires Hatuas (Constantine) to call a council of wise men from Arabin’ya (Arabia), Heleste (Greece), Parsi’e (Persia), and Uropa (Europe). The goal is to select the best doctrines from all religions, unite them into one official faith enforced by rulers with weapons, ending religious wars.
- 1,786 learned men assemble under Hatuas. He selects 144 speakers, divides others into groups of twelve, appoints scribes and translators. Many who look like Jews are rejected.
- They bring 2,231 books and tales of gods, saviors, and doctrines.
- Hatuas instructs them to keep the good parts from each book, discard the evil, combine the good into “THE BOOK OF BOOKS” as the single doctrine for his people and all nations.
- Thoth/Gabriel and thousands of angels surround the council in a deep circle, watch day and night, overshadow every thought and word, and connect by a line of light to Looeamong’s throne in Hapsendi.
The Great Persecution
The Great Persecution (also called the Diocletianic Persecution) began on February 23, 303 AD. On that day, Emperor Diocletian (full name: Gaius Aurelius Valerius Diocletianus), who held the titles Augustus and Pontifex Maximus, initiated action against Christians.
- The newly built Christian church in Nicomedia (Diocletian’s capital) was demolished within hours, as described by contemporary sources like Lactantius and Eusebius.
- The first edict ordered churches to close, sacred texts to be burned, and Christians holding rank to lose their positions.
- Christian freedmen (former slaves in imperial service) could be reduced to slavery if they refused to comply.
These measures marked the start of the most systematic Roman campaign against Christianity, lasting until around 311–313.
Constantine
Christianity spread through imperial adoption (e.g., under Constantine), leading to militarized expansions, crusades, inquisitions, and wars.
In 311 AD, Constantine has this famous vision—funny, you can’t trust people with private visions. They end up charlatans: Joseph Smith, David Koresh, Paul, Constantine. Constantine sees the sign of the cross in the sky during a military battle, hears a voice—purportedly God’s: “By this sign, conquer.” He made the cross the painted symbol on Roman shields, the military banner. They believed wielding the cross gave favor over enemies. They turned Jesus into a battle instrument. They justified the Crusades, holy wars, inquisitions, burnings under the guise
Aaron

Vision of the Cross
Historical accounts (from Eusebius and Lactantius) describe Constantine receiving a vision before the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312 AD. He saw a cross (or Chi-Rho symbol) in the sky with words like “In hoc signo vinces” (“In this sign you shall conquer”). He ordered the symbol on soldiers’ shields or a battle standard (labarum). This led to victory over Maxentius and helped establish Constantine as ruler of the Western Empire.
Battle of the Milvian Bridge (312 AD)
After the collapse of the Second Tetrarchy (system of four co-rulers), Constantine (ruling Gaul, Britain, Spain) and Maxentius (controlling Italy and Africa) claimed power in the West. Constantine invaded Italy with about 40,000 men. He captured key cities like Turin and Milan, then defeated Maxentius’s forces at Verona. Maxentius, based in Rome, faced pressure from the population and oracles. He decided to fight outside the city walls.
- Lactantius (in On the Deaths of the Persecutors, written soon after) reports a dream the night before: Constantine was told to mark his soldiers’ shields with the “heavenly sign” (a staurogram or Chi-Rho, ☧, for Christ).
- Eusebius (in Life of Constantine, written later) describes a daytime vision during the campaign: a cross of light above the sun with the Greek words “Ἐν τούτῳ νίκα” (“In this sign, conquer”). A follow-up dream confirmed it. Constantine ordered the Chi-Rho on shields or the labarum standard.
Council and the “Book of Books” (325 AD)
Council and the “Book of Books” Constantine convened the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. It addressed the Arian controversy (debate on Christ’s divinity), produced the Nicene Creed, set Easter date rules, and issued canons on church matters.
Book of Eskra – Council debates
- The council debates and votes to choose one god as the sole deity for all nations. After one year and five months of balloting, plus seven more weeks of deadlock, the votes divide almost equally among five gods: Jove (Jupiter), Kriste (Christ), Mars, Crite, and Siva.
- Hatuas (Constantine) speaks to the assembly. He says the work serves all nations and all time. Angels support the effort. Five gods remain good and acceptable. He asks if the council agrees to request a sign from the angels to decide.
- The council approves.
- At once, Looeamong (the false god claiming to be Christ) and his angels provide a supernatural sign: a cross smeared with blood appears in fire, resting on a bull’s horns, like a cloud of fire on a cloud of fire.
- Because of this sign, Kriste is declared God and Lord of all nations on earth.
- The council agrees unanimously and rejects the other gods.
Blood-Smeared Cross on a Bull’s Horns
- Blood-Smeared Cross on a Bull’s Horns: This imagery strongly mirrors the ritual in Leviticus 16:18, where Aaron is instructed to put the blood of a slain bull on the “horns of the altar all around” to make atonement. The cross represents the sacrifice of Jesus, which fulfills the “blood of bulls and goats” (Hebrews 10:1-11). The horns symbolize power, strength, and authority (1 Samuel 2:10), suggesting the power of atonement.
- “A Cloud of Fire on a Cloud of Fire”: This resembles the “cloud of incense” Aaron was to create to cover the Mercy Seat in the Holy of Holies (Leviticus 16:13). The “cloud of fire” represents the Shekinah glory (God’s presence) and the purifying judgment of God. Resting on the bull’s horns, this indicates that God’s holiness (fire) is present and accepted through the sacrifice (blood).
The Nicene Creed
- The Nicene Creed (from the Council of Nicaea, 325 AD) declares belief in “one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God… true God from true God… through whom all things were made.” It affirms his divine lordship over creation, which includes all nations.
- Philippians 2:9-11 states that God exalted Jesus so that “at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” This universal confession includes all nations and peoples.
- Revelation 17:14 and 19:16 call Jesus “King of kings and Lord of lords,” meaning supreme ruler over all earthly kings and nations.
- The Apostles’ Creed and Athanasian Creed call Jesus “our Lord” and affirm he is God and Lord, with no limit to earthly nations.
Christianity teaches that Jesus reigns as Lord over every nation now and fully in the future (Psalm 2:8; Matthew 28:18; Acts 10:36 – “He is Lord of all”). The mission is to proclaim this lordship to all nations (Matthew 28:19 – “make disciples of all nations”).
Condemnations
The original 325 Creed includes anathemas (condemnations) against heretical views on Christ’s nature, but not against pagan gods like Jove or Mars. The council’s agreement was not fully unanimous; while most of the approximately 318 bishops signed the Creed, a minority (including Arius) opposed it and faced exile.
The original Creed from the Council of Nicaea (325 AD) included anathemas—short, strong condemnations at the end. These anathemas explicitly rejected Arian teachings. They said things like: “If anyone says that the Son of God is created, or changeable, or of another substance, let him be anathema (cursed).”
The Roman Empire under Constantine remained religiously diverse, with paganism still dominant; the council aimed at unifying Christians amid recent legalization via the Edict of Milan (313 AD), rather than provoking pagans. The later 381 revision omitted the anathemas entirely, focusing on doctrinal expansion.
Summary of the 381 version (key parts):
- Affirms belief in one God, the Father.
- Affirms Jesus Christ as “true God from true God,” begotten, not made.
- Adds a full section on the Holy Spirit: “the Lord and Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified.”
Book of Esra – Iesu, a pure inspired mortal
Summary:
- The council next debated which mortal man should be chosen as the representative or model for the new faith.
- The first vote listed many names: Zarasthustra, Thothma, Abraham, Brahma, Atys, Thammus, Joshu, Sakaya, Habron, Bali, Crite, Chrisna, Thulis, Witoba, Speio, plus 46 others who received few votes.
- God (Son of Jehovih, the true Creator in Oahspe) comments: The council voted for a full year to decide which man heard the divine voice. He questions whether Jehovih (the true God) would send important matters to a human council.
- Hatuas (Constantine) speaks: The gods block any single choice. All past law-givers chosen by gods were “iesu” (a term in Oahspe for a pure, inspired mortal). Since no one man stands out, they should simply use “THE MAN, IESU.”
- The name “Iesu” (a form of Jesus) was adopted. All sacred books were then written as if spoken by Iesu.
6–9. God (Son of Jehovih) explains: The council did no wrong in setting good doctrines under the name Iesu, because those teachings came from Jehovih. However, making “Kriste” and “the Holy Ghost” objects of worship was Looeamong’s work (the false god). Earlier true messengers (Abraham, Brahma, Moses) spoke only of God and the I AM, never of Kriste or the Holy Ghost.
- The saying about blasphemy against the Holy Ghost (not forgiven) comes from Looeamong’s teaching, not Jehovih’s.
11–15. Jehovih speaks: He has never needed to incarnate Himself to be understood, He was sufficient in Moses’ time and remains sufficient now. Humanity moved from many spirits → many gods → three gods → three-in-one. Now Jehovih cuts all that away and returns man to worship only the Creator.
- Today (in Oahspe’s view) is a new time: Jehovih establishes direct presence with the living. Preachers of the true Creator are many.
This is where the the OAHSPE ends, it explains the beginning of chirstianity, but doesn’t explain how it spread. So I took it from here and discovered the the spread of christinaty involved the killing of milions, enslavement and supression of other believes.
Roman occupation
Across the lands of Gaul and Britain we consecrated our life-force within sacred groves, caves and standing stone circles, which have stood witness to the divinity in all life from ‘time before time’. Sad to say, tranquil peace within our cottages, orchards and Essene way of life was constantly overshadowed by the haunting presence of Rome, which had earlier made Gaul its colonial state. And in 55 and 54 BC Julius Caesar’s territorial stake had also been driven into the tribal lands of southeastern Britain.
Anna, the voice of the Magdalenes
In AD43, the Emperor Claudius took Britain as a provincial prize. Soon the island’s lowlands and highlands were crisscrossed with well-engineered roads and bridges; rustic Celtic timbered hill-forts were replaced with fortresses; tribal king’s mud and wattle strongholds gave way to stone villas; and sacred springs fed lavish baths for sophisticated, urbane patrons. I witnessed the first forty of what was to total over three hundred years of Roman occupation. Within a decade of Claudius’ coming, the thread of my story continued to twist torturously through nightmarish terrain.

140–170 AD – Gospel of James
The oldest and most influential source for Saint Anne (Grandmother of Yeshua) is the apocryphal Gospel of James, first written in Koine Greek around the middle of the second century AD. In the West, the Gospel of James fell under a cloud in the fourth and fifth centuries when it was accused of “absurdities” by Jerome and condemned as untrustworthy by Pope Damasus I, Pope Innocent I, and Pope Gelasius I.
The Gospel of James provides significant (though non-canonical) details about Jesus’ extended family, particularly through its emphasis on Mary’s background and Joseph’s prior life:
- Grandparents (Joachim and Anna): They are central figures as Mary’s parents and thus Jesus’ maternal grandparents. Depicted as devout, generous, and elderly when they conceive Mary miraculously (echoing biblical stories like Abraham/Sarah or Hannah/Samuel). Their story underscores God’s favor on the righteous despite barrenness. Tradition derived from this text venerates them as saints in some Christian traditions.
- Mary’s Upbringing: Mary is raised in profound holiness, from infancy dedicated to the Temple, living there until adolescence, and remaining a virgin. This portrays her as uniquely prepared to be the mother of the Messiah.
- Joseph: Presented as an older man (a widower) selected to guard Mary’s virginity rather than consummate a normal marriage. He has children from a previous marriage.
- Jesus’ “Brothers” (and Implied Sisters): The text implies that the “brothers” of Jesus mentioned in the canonical Gospels (e.g., James, Joses, Simon, Jude) are actually step-brothers—sons of Joseph by his earlier wife. This supports the doctrine of Mary’s perpetual virginity (before, during, and after Jesus’ birth), which is explicitly defended through the midwife’s examination and other details. Jesus himself has no biological siblings in this account; Mary remains a virgin throughout. The author (claiming to be James) positions himself as one of these step-brothers.
Church of Rome
What has come to be called Christianity, and, indeed, we ourselves, have purposely obscured our footsteps and our simple path. During my time, our Essene and Gnostic ways were held suspect by those in power in Rome. Among the splintered factions that never knew Yeshua personally, a powerful mythos and religious doctrine began to be formed, which was based on his little understood life and the true basis of his teachings. Secreted truths that couldn’t be entirely suppressed became increasingly threatening to the growing Church of Rome. Its patriarchal hierarchy merged church and state in order to gain an empire of great wealth and influence. As more years passed, we who safeguarded these secrets were branded heretics, and in the name of God, the fruit of our family tree was burned at the stake.

The Capitularies of Paderborn – 785
The Capitularies of Paderborn, more precisely known as the Capitulatio de partibus Saxoniae (also called the Capitulary of Paderborn or Saxon Capitulary), were a set of harsh laws issued by Charlemagne around 785. They were promulgated at an assembly in Paderborn in Saxony during the Saxon Wars. The laws aimed to force the conquered Saxons to accept Christianity and Frankish rule.
Charlemagne fought a long series of wars against the pagan Saxons from 772 to 804.
In 785, the Saxon leader Widukind submitted and was baptized at Paderborn. Shortly after, Charlemagne issued this capitulary to consolidate control and enforce conversion.
The document is sometimes called the “terror capitulary” because of its severe penalties. It followed events such as the Massacre of Verden in 782, where thousands of Saxons were executed.
The Great Schism (East-West Schism) – 1054 AD
This event divided the unified Christian Church into two branches:
- Roman Catholic Church (Western, centered in Rome, under the Pope).
- Eastern Orthodox Church (Eastern, centered in Constantinople, led by patriarchs). The split resulted from long-standing differences in theology (e.g., the Filioque clause in the Creed), authority (papal supremacy), liturgy, language (Latin vs. Greek), and cultural-political tensions. Mutual excommunications in 1054 marked the formal break, though tensions had built for centuries.
Crusades, killing in the name of
The Crusades (1095–1291) represent a series of destructive military campaigns launched by Western Christians, often in the name of Christ, that caused massive loss of life and widespread devastation. Estimates of total deaths range from 1 to 9 million across all crusades, with many sources placing the figure between 1 and 6 million, including combatants and civilians from battles, sieges, massacres, and disease.
Key examples of destruction include the First Crusade’s sack of Jerusalem in 1099 (around 40,000 killed), the Fourth Crusade’s brutal sack of Christian Constantinople in 1204 (10,000–20,000 deaths, permanently weakening the Byzantine Empire), and the Albigensian Crusade against Cathars in France (200,000–1,000,000 deaths through massacres and sieges).
These wars involved indiscriminate violence against Muslims, Jews, and even fellow Christians, deepened religious hatreds, and resulted in looting, forced conversions, and long-term cultural damage rather than lasting territorial or spiritual gains.
See: Crusades, killing in the name of
The Waldensians declared heretical by the Catholic Church in 1184. They faced centuries of persecution, forced conversions, and massacres.
The Unity of the Brethren were persecuted by the Catholic Church.
Popes
Augustine
The church father Augustine taught that the state was subordinate to the church and that it had to acquiesce to the will of the priesthood in every possible way.
Pope Boniface VIII – 1302
Pope Boniface VIII in his infamous Bull “Unam Sanctam” declared that he was in effect the Emperor and the Master of the world and that “every human creature be subject” to him.
“Furthermore, we declare, we proclaim, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff.”
Papalencyclicals
The Syllabus of Pope Pius IX condemned the development of the free state of the modern age and thereby laid down his principles: “it is necessary for every creature to be subject to the Roman pontiff for salvation.”
Pope Innocent III wrote of the church as being the government of the entire world.
Inquisitions
Witchcraft
1484 – Papal Bull Summis desiderantes affectibus Pope Innocent VIII issued this bull after receiving complaints from the Dominican inquisitor Heinrich Kramer (also called Institoris) about witchcraft in parts of Germany (especially the Tyrol region).
- It officially recognized witchcraft as a real and serious threat involving pacts with the Devil.
- It authorized Kramer and another Dominican, Jacob Sprenger, to investigate and prosecute witches, heretics, and related crimes in specific areas.
- This gave papal backing to the idea that witchcraft was not just superstition but a form of heresy and apostasy.
1486/1487 – Publication of the Malleus Maleficarum (“Hammer of Witches”) Written primarily by Heinrich Kramer (Sprenger’s involvement is debated and possibly minimal).
This became the most influential handbook on witch-hunting. It argued in detail that:
- Witchcraft was real and widespread.
- Witches (mostly women) made explicit pacts with the Devil.
- They flew to nocturnal sabbaths, had sex with demons, caused illness/death, and committed other crimes.
- Women were especially susceptible because of their supposed weaker nature and lustfulness.
- It provided detailed legal and theological instructions on how to detect, interrogate (including the use of torture), and convict witches.
Although the book was not officially endorsed by the Church (parts were even criticized by theologians in Cologne), it was widely reprinted (dozens of editions) and used across Europe by both Catholic and Protestant authorities. It helped spread the new ideology of “diabolical witchcraft.”
In 1500 (with some related bulls or breves dated late 1499 / early February 1500), Pope Alexander VI appointed Heinrich Kramer as papal nuncio (an official diplomatic/representative role for the Holy See) and reassigned his inquisitorial duties specifically to Bohemia and Moravia (the historical lands that largely correspond to the modern Czech Republic). This built on his earlier appointments. He had already been named Inquisitor for regions including the Tyrol, Salzburg, Bohemia, and Moravia well before 1474. In his later years he was particularly active in Olomouc (Olmütz) in Moravia, where he worked against both witchcraft and certain heretical groups (especially the Waldensians / “Picards,” including the Unity of the Brethren).
Witchcraft scale
Estimates suggest 75–80% were women, often older, poor, widowed, or socially marginal. Children and even clergy were sometimes accused too.
Scholarly consensus puts the total number of executions across Europe (and European colonies) at roughly 40,000 to 60,000 over about 300 years (out of perhaps 100,000+ trials).
Spanish Inquisition (1478-1834 AD)
Established to enforce Catholic orthodoxy; targeted Jews, Muslims, and heretics through trials and executions.
In the narrow sense, the term “Inquisition” refers to official trials conducted by Roman Catholic authorities in places like Spain and Portugal. When the question is limited to just those Inquisitions, the number of Protestants executed is likely in the thousands or tens of thousands.
However, if the term is used in a broad sense—to represent all Roman Catholic activity against non-Catholics—then the numbers rise dramatically. If the historian includes forms of torture and killing that did not involve a formal trial, along with religious wars and other forms of Catholic violence enacted against Protestants and other non-Catholics (in areas outside of Spain and Portugal), then one can easily speak in terms of millions of people who were killed.

Napoleon washed out almost completely the filth of the inquisition
“Atlantis was My work: from the very beginning till the end I created the spiritual culture of Atlantis. From there it moved partly to Egypt.
“I took with Me worthy people and led them into Myself — an incarnation after incarnation, a wave after wave. Thus I embodied Myself there several times.
“It was Me who initiated the wave of Lutheranism, Reformation in Europe: i.e. the ideas about the possibility for man to communicate with God directly, without intermediates, without rituals… France, Germany, the Netherlands… This process was completed with the liberating wave of Napoleon, which washed out almost completely the filth of the inquisition from the Earth.

The Protestant Reformation (1517 AD)
This movement split from the Roman Catholic Church, creating Protestantism. Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses on October 31, 1517, in Wittenberg, Germany, criticizing Catholic practices like indulgences. The Reformation spread quickly, leading to new denominations (Lutheran, Reformed/Calvinist, Anglican, Anabaptist, etc.). Protestants rejected papal authority, emphasized scripture alone (sola scriptura), faith alone (sola fide), and other reforms.
Thirty Years’ War (1618-1648 AD)
Religious conflict between Protestant and Catholic states in Europe, escalating to major power struggle. Deaths: 4-8 million, including famine and disease.
Missionaries, Colonization, and Impacts on Indigenous Peoples
Christian missionaries in European colonization from the 15th to 20th centuries, their methods, regional examples, and effects on indigenous groups.
Historical Role of Missionaries in Colonization
Christian missionaries acted as extensions of European imperial powers, spreading religion while supporting territorial expansion. They often arrived with explorers and settlers, using conversion to justify control over lands and resources. Methods included building missions, schools, and churches; learning local languages for evangelism, many times enforcing conversions through force or incentives like tax exemptions for Christians. Religious orders such as Jesuits, Franciscans, and Dominicans led these efforts. While some missionaries opposed colonial abuses, many collaborated with governments for protection and funding, viewing indigenous beliefs as inferior.
Missionary activities varied by region but consistently linked religion with colonial goals.
Americas
Spanish and Portuguese missionaries focused on converting Native Americans in Latin America, destroying indigenous texts and artifacts to enforce Christianity. In North America, French Jesuits established missions among groups like the Huron, while British and American missionaries built schools to promote assimilation. In Canada, churches ran residential schools from the 1880s, separating children from families to impose Western values.
Pope Alexander VI
Pope Alexander VI issued the papal bull Inter Caetera in 1493. It granted Spain (Kings Ferdinand and Isabella) full power to colonize, govern, and convert the newly discovered lands in the Americas.
- Spain received “full and free power, authority, and jurisdiction of every kind” over these lands and peoples.
- The goal was to exalt the Catholic faith, spread Christianity, and “overthrow and bring to the faith” the “barbarous nations.”
The bull gave Spain religious and legal permission to conquer non-Christian peoples and force them under Spanish rule. When indigenous groups resisted conversion or authority, the Spanish used military force, including massacres, enslavement, and large-scale killing.
The document became the main religious and legal basis for the Spanish conquest. It justified violence against those who refused to submit. Historians and many indigenous groups see it as a key papal authorization for the conquest and the resulting deaths.
Africa
During the 19th-century “Scramble for Africa,” missionaries like David Livingstone combined exploration with evangelism, dividing regions by denomination to avoid rivalry. They targeted practices like polytheism and human sacrifice for eradication, using force. In areas like Nigeria and Buganda, conversions aided British control by favoring Christian elites.
Asia
In India, Portuguese missionaries in Goa used the Inquisition and taxes on non-Christians to achieve mass conversions by the 1700s. In Japan, Jesuits like Francis Xavier learned local customs but faced expulsion due to perceived threats of takeover.
Impacts on Indigenous Peoples
Conversion efforts caused cultural suppression, including bans on ceremonies like the Potlatch or Sun Dance. Forced assimilation led to loss of languages, traditions, and lands. Missionaries spread diseases unintentionally and reinforced European superiority, justifying enslavement and resource extraction. In Africa, this erased generations of indigenous knowledge. Residential schools in Canada caused family separations and long-term trauma.
Relic of St Anne
In 1892 Pope Leo XIII sent a relic of St Anne to the church; during the journey to Canada a man with epilepsy was miraculously cured when he prayed to the container containing the relic.

Many Christed Ones -> Iesu
In the channeled text from Barbara, I found another clue that the Christ in Christianity is a name for a group of truthfull people, which align with the OAHSPE; All past law-givers chosen by gods were “iesu” (a term in Oahspe for a pure, inspired mortal). The name “Iesu” (a form of Jesus) was adopted. All sacred books were then written as if spoken by Iesu.
The Christed One came not as one entity but as a number of entities, influencing people in humanity’s dark hour, an hour when human beings were ready to understand their mysteries. One of the things that was not promoted to you in a very truthful way was that the Christed One was very well accepted. The kind of energy that the Christed beings brought to the planet was received very well.
Bringers of the Dawn
Arian Christians (250–336 AD)
Arian Christians were followers of a teaching called Arianism in early Christianity. Arianism is named after Arius, a priest from Alexandria (Egypt), who lived around 250–336 AD.
Arian Christians believed Jesus is a created divine being, not co-eternal or co-equal with God the Father. Mainstream Christianity (Catholic, Orthodox, most Protestant churches) rejected this view and defined Christ as fully God and fully equal to the Father.
It caused strong debate in the Church. Emperor Constantine called the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD to settle the question. The council rejected Arianism and wrote the Nicene Creed. The Creed says the Son is “of one substance” (homoousios) with the Father – fully equal and eternal God. Arius and his supporters were condemned and exiled.
The Cathars (13th century)
“The Cathars in 13th-century France lived by wisdom traditions traced to Thoth, creating a healthier, wiser society. The Roman Catholic Church, seeing them as a threat to feudal power, genocided them, killing up to a million people. This set a template for the Inquisition, which tortured and killed millions over 700 years to enforce Christianity.”
Paul Wallis
Update 2: The Church glued the Yahwistic redaction of the Hebrew Scriptures onto the writings of Jesus’ apostles and others to create a Christian Bible
The decision of the Jerusalem Council of 50CE made clear that the Yahwistic laws should not be regarded as divinely eternal, and neither was belief in or obedience to the Torah to be required. The stipulation which issued from their discussion was that all believers should avoid meat with the blood still in it, they should conduct themselves well in terms of sexual behaviour and avoid being a part of the worship of anything less than God, by which they meant, “The source of the cosmos and everything in it, that I which we all live and move and have our being, of whom we are all offspring.” (Apostle Paul, Acts 17.)
In the early decades and centuries of the Christian church, significant leaders, known as “Church Fathers,” put meat on the bones of this new religion of Jesus. In the C3rdCE, Origen unpacked further the implications of the Jerusalem Council’s decision two centuries before. He argued powerfully that the elohim and Yahweh stories should not be read as if they were portrayals of the God and Father of Jesus. Indeed, he said that if we took the elohim and Yahweh narratives at face value we would have to believe of God, “such things as we would not believe of the most savage and unjust of men.”
The reason Origen felt compelled to highlight this matter is that the Church had somehow overlooked the ruling of the Jerusalem Council and glued the Yahwistic redaction of the Hebrew Scriptures onto the writings of Jesus’ apostles and others to create a Christian Bible, comprising the Old Testament and the New.
