MISSIONARIES
They do not know what they are doing 1

Many people get a bad taste in their mouths when they read the word “Missionary.” This is especially true of Jews because they know all about missionaries from a long sordid 2,000 year history. Their great-grandparents have told them many horrible stories about missionaries; how they were forced to kiss the Christian sword or be killed by it. In other words, convert to Christianity!
That was in the past and this is now; but the
message is still the same. “Let us teach you about Jesus, because he is the
only way to God, if fact, he is God” is the sales pitch Christian missionaries
use today on people; especially the ignorant, unlearned or those in dire
straits. Instead of giving them a choice of living or being killed, these missionaries
give them a choice of free food, shelter, and clothes only if they can teach
them about the “love” of Jesus. The “receivers” (especially in
What is so sad is that these missionaries have no
idea what their mission in life really is. They blindly think their “god” Jesus
told them to go convert anybody they see. They have no idea that this
missionizing idea came from men, the church fathers, who altered the NEW
testament (NT) for their own sick agenda. These missionaries base their
direction/mission by believing what the authors of Mark and Matthew wrote at
the end of their gospels; not realizing that this was the alteration of the
early church.

Mark:
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;
but he that believeth not shall be damned. (Mark 16:15-16 (King James Version KJV))
According to Shmuel Golding’s 2 research:
“Mark
16:12-20” is not to be found in
the older manuscripts of the New Testament. It is for this reason it is left out of
the Revised Standard Version. This makes sense because the authors
of Luke and John do not mention anything about The Great Commission to the
Eleven.” Luke (24:36-49) is too busy writing about what Jesus ate after his
so-called resurrection, and Jesus telling his eleven disciples “that all things
must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets,
and in the psalms” concerning him – then Jesus “opened their understanding the
Scriptures” explaining Isaiah chapter 53. And the author of John was too busy
explaining “doubting Thomas,” ending the Gospel with its purpose (John 20:30),
and then having Jesus appear to Seven, NOT Eleven disciples, telling them that
it is Peter, who is his beloved disciple.”
Today’s missionaries are supposed to be teachers –
teaching the Christian bible to Gentiles. Strange, they seem to overlook the
fact that Jesus never preached his message. As a matter of fact, according to
the NT, he
warned his disciples NOT to go to the Gentiles. According to Matthew,
Jesus spoke to his disciples:
“Go not into the way of the Gentiles....but
go rather to the lost sheep of the house of
If the missionaries would only dig deep and find
out just what they are doing and why, they would understand Jesus emphasized
the imminence of the end of the world and the arrival of the kingdom of heaven
for the Jews. They would see they are following the will of some unknown men
(the unknown authors of the NT books, the church copyists and editors):
“And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at
hand....Ye shall not have gone over the
cities of
This means 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
Fearing loss of priestly power, the church fathers
took matters into their own hands. They decided to expand their influence by
extending Jesus’ promise of salvation to the ones ignored by Jesus ― the
pagan Gentiles; the uncircumcised. The church fathers had to explain why Jesus
never fulfilled any of God’s criteria of what would happen ― ushering in
and during the Messianic Era ― by telling their duped listeners to wait
for another or “the second coming.”
Thus, the Gentiles were ripe for harvesting, The
Gospel of Mark fell victim to a forger’s pen. The deceitful church fathers
fraudulently tagged on the last twelve verses of Mark. As we said earlier, this
is what the missionaries use as their mission task
“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 were not certain the verses above are a
forgery, our wonderment at Jesus’ apparent turn-around would know no bounds.
Only eighteen chapters earlier, in Matthew 10.5, Jesus was telling his
disciples, “Go not into the way of the Gentiles.”! Why do missionaries passed over this so lightly? Why won’t the pulpit
explain this? Perhaps then the missionaries would take care of their own souls
and stop pushing their religion on others. Wait, step back a little – aren’t
these missionaries the “Gentiles” Jesus warned against? Yes they are!
The
early church fathers, using Paul’s method of teaching, preached two different
messages; depending on to whom they were talking. The Jews heard that they were
the favored “lost sheep” in the first
parts of Mark and Matthew ― which were the only parts read to them
― while the pagan Gentiles were read the words of salvation from the forged
endings: believeth and be saved.
Was it not strange that the apostles did not know
that Jesus
had evidently changed his mind, deciding to now allow preaching to the
Gentiles about the kingdom of heaven? The apostles could not know it because
Jesus’ mind was only changed by lying imaginations of the forging church
fathers. Read closely at what the NT writes of Peter.
“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)
Thus, it is only through a revelation ― not
the fraudulent “teach all nations”
fake command by Jesus ― that Peter was able to “perceive” that God would
accept righteous Gentiles. This is definite proof that Peter never heard Jesus’
tell him and the disciples to “teach all nations.” You should now
realize for yourself that the final verses of Matthew and Mark are late
forgeries. One more time; Jesus’ other disciples did not know
anything about an alleged command by Jesus to “go, teach all
nations....preach the gospel to every creature.” In fact, the other disciples were
upset that Peter had embraced the Gentiles:
“And when Peter had come up to
If the disciples, later
apostles ever had heard Jesus urge the acceptance of the Gentiles, and if they
had actually “preached everywhere”― as alleged by Mark and Matthew
― they most likely never would have questioned Peter’s meeting with the Gentiles.
Concerning
the genuineness of Mark 16:9-20, the Catholic Encyclopedia 3 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 4...[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.”
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.
Forced, as the editors of the Catholic Encyclopedia were, by the demands of
doctrinal obedience, 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.
And today’s missionaries go blindly into the world
preaching a man-made religion, calling God a liar – saying God made a mistake
and His Torah is not to be followed.
