TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 31

We are finally reaching the end of our discussion of particular passages in Paul’s epistles where certain terms are either mistranslated or misunderstood, adversely affecting the interpretation of the Scriptures throughout the New Testament. As we have already explained, due to the nature and purpose of Paul’s writings there are more of these than there are in all of the other New Testament Scriptures. So here we will discuss a few passages from the epistle to the Hebrews, and from the pastoral epistles which Paul had written to Timothy and to Titus.

So now our discussion brings us to the epistle to the Hebrews. While even in the King James Version there are not many particularly errant mistranslations in Hebrews, at least which concern our purposes here, there is nevertheless much confusion over the epistle, regarding whether Paul was actually the author or when or for what purpose it was written. However it is clear to me that Paul was the author, that the epistle was left unsigned and that Paul did not mention his own name for a reason, and that the epistle was written shortly after his arrest in the temple in 58 AD, but before he was sent as a prisoner to Rome.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 30

We once again continue our discussion of particular passages in Paul’s epistles where certain terms are either mistranslated or misunderstood, adversely affecting the interpretation of the Scriptures throughout the New Testament. As we have already explained, due to the nature and purpose of Paul’s writings there are more of these than there are in all of the other New Testament Scriptures. Essentially, the churches claim that Paul changed Christianity from a focus on Jews to a universal focus, and that is a perversion of the entire message of the Gospel of Christ, and also of the often-stated purposes and intentions of Paul himself, who meant only to bring the Gospel to the lost sheep of Israel, doing what Christ had commissioned him to do.

We have already addressed many elements of Paul’s epistles to the Romans, Corinthians, Galatians and Ephesians, and now we will turn to his epistle to the Philippians. Once we are able to demonstrate the numerous King James Version errors in translating the many words and verses which we have selected for these presentations, and properly translate those words and verses, a very different picture of the purpose and substance of the ministry of Paul of Tarsus comes to light, and his words are seen to correspond to all of the words of the ancient prophets relating to the children of Israel.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 29

Here once again we continue our discussion of particular passages in Paul’s epistles where certain terms are either mistranslated or misunderstood, adversely affecting the interpretation of the Scriptures throughout the New Testament. Due to the nature and purpose of Paul’s writings there are more of these than there are in all of the other New Testament Scriptures.

Discussing the epistle to the Galatians, we hope to have demonstrated that Paul’s language in chapters 3 and 4 of that epistle had purposely described the narrow the scope of the Gospel as being for one particular race of people, to the descendants of only one of the sons of Abraham as opposed to the other sons which Abraham had fathered. Doing that, Paul also identified that race of people, in part, where he told the Galatians that is was they who were under the law and who were therefore redeemed in Christ. Comparing our interpretation of Paul’s epistle to the words of the prophets, the two are in complete agreement, while the mainstream interpretations set Paul in absolute opposition to the prophets. By that we should know that our interpretation is true.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 28

Here once again we continue our discussion of particular passages in Paul’s epistles where certain terms are mistranslated or misunderstood, and adversely affect the interpretation of the Scriptures throughout the New Testament. Due to the nature and purpose of Paul’s writings there are more of these than there are in all of the other New Testament Scriptures. And once again, while there are many more mistranslations in Paul than what we shall present here, we will only focus on those which concern nation, race and the scope and purpose of the Gospel.

45 continued) Specific NT Verse misteachings, mistranslations or corruptions in the epistles of Paul

So we covered much of Galatians chapter 3 in our last presentation, and in verses 15 through 18 we found that it was not Jews and Jesus which Paul was contrasting. That view is contrary to all the other statements of Paul as well as the promises of the prophets and the Gospel of Christ. Rather, Paul was comparing the seed of Jacob as the heirs of the promise in contradistinction to the seed of Esau, Ishmael and Abraham’s other sons. This agrees with all of Paul’s other statements concerning the seed and the promises, especially in Romans chapters 4 and 9.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 27

Here we shall continue to discuss particular passages in the epistles of Paul where certain terms are mistranslated or misunderstood, and adversely affect the interpretation of the Scriptures throughout the New Testament. As we have already explained, because of the nature and purpose of Paul’s epistles there are many more of these than there are in all of the other New Testament writings. Once again, while there are many more mistranslations in Paul than what we shall present here, we will only focus on those which concern nation, race and the scope and purpose of the Gospel.

45 continued) Specific NT Verse misteachings, mistranslations or corruptions in the epistles of Paul

When we discussed words which were generally mistranslated or misinterpreted throughout the Gospels or New Testament as a whole, there were a few that we did not list immediately, probably because they are not an issue until we get to the epistles of Paul or the other apostles. So in our last presentation we discussed the word saint, and here I believe it is necessary to discuss another word, which is anointed, or Christ where it refers to Yahshua, as the word χριστός is an adjective and it does not always refer to Christ even where it appears in Scripture. There is actually a 3,300-word essay explaining this at Christogenea, however I will attempt a summary here, as it is important to understanding passages in Galatians and elsewhere in Paul’s epistles.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 26

In our last presentation we began discussing particular passages in the epistles of Paul where certain terms are mistranslated or misunderstood, which also adversely affect the interpretation of the Scriptures throughout the New Testament. There are many more of these in Paul’s epistles than there are in all of the other New Testament writings, and certainly because of the nature and purpose of the epistles themselves. Once again, while there are many more mistranslations in Paul than what we shall present here, we will only focus on those which concern nation, race and the scope and purpose of the Gospel.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 25

In the last few presentations in this series we have been discussing particular passages in the New Testament where certain terms are mistranslated or misunderstood, which also adversely affect the interpretation of the Scriptures throughout the New Testament. Now we have finally reached the epistles of Paul, where more such mistranslations or poor interpretations are found than in any other books of the New Testament. Many of these had to even be purposeful, as they are quite blatant. There are actually many more mistranslations in Paul than what we will present here, where we will only focus on those which concern nation, race and the scope and purpose of the Gospel.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 24

In the last few presentations in this series we have been discussing particular passages in the New Testament where certain terms are mistranslated or misunderstood, which also adversely affect the interpretation of the Scriptures throughout the New Testament. While we cannot discuss every error of interpretation, we have endeavored to address the passages which would change one’s view of Scripture, and potentially one’s entire worldview, once they are translated properly and understood correctly within the context of the entire Scripture. With these interpretations which we uphold to be correct, all of the seeming conflicts and inconsistencies within Scripture vanish, God is no longer the hypocrite which the denominational churches make Him out to be, and we can know that God is true. So now, continuing with Proof 44, we are in the midst of the Gospel of Luke, as we had left off with the parable of the unrighteous steward in chapter 16.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 23

In our last presentation, of Proof 44 in this list of 100 proofs, we discussed particular passages in the Gospel of John where certain terms are mistranslated or misunderstood, which also adversely affect the interpretation of the Scriptures throughout the New Testament. While we did not discuss every possible error of interpretation in John, we sought to address the passages which would change one’s view of Scripture, and potentially one’s entire worldview, once they are translated properly and understood correctly within the context of the entire Scripture. With these interpretations which we uphold to be correct, all of the seeming conflicts and inconsistencies within Scripture vanish, God is no longer the hypocrite which the denominational churches make Him out to be, and we can know that God is true. So now, continuing with Proof 44, we will endeavor to do this same thing in the so-called Synoptic Gospels, which are Matthew, Mark and Luke.

44) continued: Specific NT Verse misteachings, mistranslations or corruptions in Matthew, Mark and Luke
 

While there are not a lot of mistranslations or misunderstandings in the Synoptic Gospels, there are some critical ones, and we have already spoken about some obvious misunderstandings. For example, where in Matthew 3:7 we see John the Baptist calling certain of the Pharisees and Sadducees a “generation of vipers”, the word translated as generation is γέννημα, which literally means offspring. So in essence, John is calling the parents of these men vipers, and not the men themselves. The same phrase appears where Christ used it in the same manner of His adversaries in Matthew chapters 12 and 23. The use of the phrase proves that there is an actual race of men referred to as vipers in Judaea at the time of Christ, or both He and John are mere slanderers, the parents of these men not being present to defend themselves against the accusation.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 22

In our last presentation, which was Proof 43 in this list of 100 proofs, we discussed particular passages in the Old Testament where certain terms are mistranslated or misunderstood, which also adversely affect the interpretation of the Scriptures throughout the entire Bible. Doing that, we did not discuss every possible error of interpretation in the Old Testament, but rather we only sought to address the passages which would change one’s view of Scripture, and potentially one’s entire worldview, once they are understood correctly within the context of the entire Scripture. With these interpretations which we uphold to be correct, all of the seeming conflicts and inconsistencies within Scripture vanish, God is no longer the hypocrite which the denominational churches make Him out to be, and we can know that God is true. So now, here beginning with Proof 44, we will endeavor to do this same thing in the New Testament.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 21

Having finally finished with Proof 42 and our discussion of words which are generally mistranslated or misunderstood throughout the Bible, now we turn to particular passages where certain words are mistranslated or misunderstood, which also adversely affect the interpretation of the Scriptures throughout the entire Bible.

43) Specific OT Verse misteachings, mistranslations or corruptions

Genesis 2:9

The first misteaching, of course, is not to properly recognize the allegories of Genesis chapters 2 and 3, even if they cannot be fully understood until Christ explained them in the parables and visions of the Gospel and Revelation. In Genesis chapter 2 there are two trees which are different from all the other trees. All of the actual wooden trees created by God were made to come out of the ground, and they were made to be good for food, but two other trees are mentioned apart from those trees, as we first read in that same chapter: “9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.”

Throughout Scripture trees are used as allegories for races or nations of people. But later, in the Gospel, Christ identifies the Tree of Life where He says in John chapter 15: “1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.” Proclaiming that He is the “true vine” also reveals the possibility that there is a spurious vine.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 20

This is our fifth discussion of point 42 in TruthVid’s 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White. Once again, we have already explained that this review of the meanings of certain words does not explicitly prove the race of the Israelites. But understanding the true meanings of many Biblical terms does help to prove that word meanings were obfuscated by the churches so as to distort the many other evidences that the message of Christ and His apostles and prophets is solely intended for White Europeans.

42 continued) Major word mistranslations or misunderstandings that occur repeatedly throughout the Bible.

Satan and the Devil

The word satan is a common Hebrew word which was used in the New Testament in a particular manner, and therefore in order to properly understand what it means we must examine its use and meaning in Old Testament Hebrew. In many passages, it is clear that a satan is only an opponent or adversary, and in many different contexts the word was applied to men. For example, David was called a satan or adversary to the Philistines in 1 Samuel 29:4, and Hadad the Edomite was called a satan, or adversary, to Solomon in 1 Kings 11:14. Rezon the son of Eliadah was also a satan or adversary to Israel in the days of Solomon, in 1 Kings 11:25. From the perspective of men, even an angel of Yahweh was an adversary, or satan to Balaam in Numbers 22:22. Then in the same context later in the chapter, at 22:32, the same word, satan, is a verb translated as withstand.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 19

This is our fourth discussion of point 42 in TruthVid’s 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White. Once again, we have already explained that this review of the meanings of certain words does not explicitly prove the race of the Israelites. But understanding the true meanings of many Biblical terms does help to prove that word meanings were obfuscated by the churches so as to distort the many other evidences that the message of Christ and His apostles and prophets is solely intended for White Europeans.

42 continued) Major word mistranslations or misunderstandings that occur repeatedly throughout the Bible.

In our last presentation of this series, we discussed the various terms for man, which are adam and enosh, and we found that adam is a racial designation, describing a single race of man, but that enosh is the general term for man in the sense of a mortal hominid. Then we examined the words for bastard and found that bastard is also a racial designation, but describes someone who is not of an authentic race. Now we shall discuss another misunderstood term which is also a racial designation similar to bastard, but from a different perspective, and that is the term arab.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 18

This is our third discussion of point 42 in TruthVid’s 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White. As we have already said, this review of the meanings of certain words does not explicitly prove the race of the Israelites, but it does show that word meanings were obfuscated so as to distort the many other evidences that the message of Christ and His apostles and prophets is solely intended for White Europeans.

42 continued) Major word mistranslations or misunderstandings that occur repeatedly throughout the Bible.

Adam, enosh and mamzers: Man, man and bastards.

First, we must address a false claim in Christian Identity circles that the word enosh is a precise reference to so-called men of other, non-Adamic races. That is not true. The fact is that examining the listings in Strong’s Concordance for the English word men, it is very quickly realized that men of the race of Adam were very often referred to with the word enosh. Rather, the Hebrew word enosh, Strong’s # 582, is related to and derived from the word anash, Strong’s # 605, which means frail or feeble, and therefore enosh refers to man as a mortal being.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 17

Here we continue our discussion of point 42 in TruthVid’s 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White. While this review of the meanings of certain words does not explicitly prove the race of the Israelites, it does show that word meanings were obfuscated so as to distort the many other evidences that the message of Christ and His apostles and prophets is solely intended for White Europeans.

42 continued) Major word mistranslations or misunderstandings that occur repeatedly throughout the Bible.

Generations or Races?

In 1 Peter chapter 1 we read where Peter addressed his intended readers and called them: “the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia”. But that word stranger is not ξένος, which commonly referred to a stranger or foreigner. Neither is it ἀλλογενὴς, which refers to someone of another race – in a narrower sense than we use the term race, but which is translated as stranger in Luke chapter 17. Rather the word in 1 Peter chapter 1 is παρεπίδημος, which describes “one who comes from a foreign country into a city or land to reside there by the side of the natives”, which is a sojourner. This translation of different words with different meanings into the same English word, stranger, is also a source for confusion.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 16

Here we begin our discussion of point 42 of TruthVid’s 100 Proofs, which concerns the mistranslations or misinterpretations of words found in Scripture, whether they are purposeful or not. William Finck’s prepared notes are found below.

42) Major word mistranslations or misunderstandings that occur repeatedly throughout the Bible.

These mistranslations are systemic in that they are based on a universalist interpretation of Scripture.

Nations or Gentiles?

The Hebrew word goy means nation. The Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew lexicon defines it as “1) nation, people 1a) nation, people 1a1) usually of non-Hebrew people 1a2) of descendants of Abraham 1a3) of Israel 1b) of swarm of locusts, other animals (fig.) n pr m 1c) Goyim? = ‘nations’”

So gentile is not even part of their definition for goy, but it is translated in that manner 30 times in the King James Old Testament, half of them in Isaiah.

The Greek word ἔθνος means nation. It is translated 96 times as gentile in the King James Version. On another 5 occasions the word Ἕλλην, which means Greek, is translated as gentile, which is completely dishonest. According to Liddell & Scott, ἔθνος in earliest Greek writing meant a “number of people living together, company, body of men… band of comrades… host of men… of particular tribes… of animals… swarms, flocks…” Then later, “after Homer, nation, people… later, foreign, barbarous nations, opposite to Ἕλληνες… at Athens, athletic clubs of non-Athenians in LXX, non-Jews, Ps. 2.1, al., cf. Act.Ap.7.45; Gentiles… used of Gentile Christians, Ep. Rom.15.27.” Other, more obscure uses of the word are given after these.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 15

Here we discuss points # 40 and 41 of TruthVid’s 100 Proofs, which concerns the Revelation and the Gospels. William Finck’s prepared notes are found below.

The very fact that Scripture was first written in Hebrew with letters that are the same as those which are commonly called Phoenician, and then later it was written in Greek, proves that the Israelites were White. The Hebrew language is related to Aramaic, and the Syrians were certainly White, as Greek historians attest, and of course Greek is considered to be a strictly European, or so-called
Indo-European language. However there are many Hebrew and Greek cognates, as there are with Hebrew and other Indo-Europen languages. Then there are predecessors to Classical Greek found in the Mediterranean, represented in scripts such as Linear B or the Cypriot syllabary, which also show that Greeks and Hebrews are more remotely related.

Linear B was a script used to write what is called Mycenaean Greek, which predates Classical Greek and the Greek alphabet derived from Phoenician by at least 6 or 7 centuries. The oldest examples are esteemed to date to about 1450 BC, which is right around the same time as the Exodus. Another script, called Linear A, which was evidently used to write a Minoan language, has never been deciphered and is esteemed to be the ancestor of both Linear B and the Cypriot syllabary. Examples of Linear B were discovered in palace archives at Knossos and Cydonia on Crete, and Pylos, Thebes and Mycenae in Greece. But Linear B seems to no longer have been used after the fall of the Mycenaean civilization in the 12th century BC. After that, there is no evidence of Greek writing until perhaps the 8th century BC.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 14

Here we discuss points # 38 and 39 of TruthVid’s 100 Proofs, which concerns Ezekiel's lamentations of Tyre and the minor prophets. William Finck’s prepared notes are found below.

(38) Ezekiel’s Lamentations over Tyre

In all of the ancient Greek accounts, beginning with Herodotus, the Dardans, and therefore the Trojans, the Leleges, Carians and Milesians, the Cilicians, and the Phoenicians were all related, and many of these groups were described as having originated in Crete. In the Greek myths from as early as the Iliad, Europa was the daughter of Phoenix, the son of Agenor king of Tyre, and the sister of Cadmus the Phoenician, who founded the Greek city of Thebes. Europa was the mother of Sarpedon, the legendary founder of Miletus, a notable city of the Carians, and Sarpedon was the father of Minos, the famous king of the Cretans from which we get the name Minoans. Herodotus attested that all of the colonies of the Phoenicians had come from Tyre. But in the Bible, while Tyre was within the inheritance of Asher the Septuagint version indicates that the walled cities of the Tyrians would be inherited by the tribe of Naphtali. Later, where Hiram king of Tyre, who was subject to David and Solomon, had sent to Solomon a craftsman to help with the design of the temple, Flavius Josephus wrote in Book 8 of his Antiquities: “76 Now Solomon sent for a craftsman out of Tyre, whose name was Hiram; he was by birth of the tribe of Naphtali, on the mother's side (for she was of that tribe;) but his father was Ur, of the family of the Israelites.”

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 13

Here we discuss # 37 of TruthVid’s 100 Proofs, which concerns the prophet Isaiah. William Finck’s prepared notes are found below.

The Christian faith was originally called catholic because it was received whole, meaning that both Old and New Testament Scriptures were recognized as the Word of God. The Roman Church later perverted the meaning of the term catholic and used it to describe the application, rather than the reception of the faith. The true faith in Christ must include a belief in both the Old and New Testaments.

The writings of the prophets were preserved because as men realized that their words were true, because short-term prophecies were fulfilled, their value was recognized and the fact that their words did indeed represent the Word of God was laid bare. If the short-term prophecies were fulfilled, then the long-term prophecies would also be fulfilled. Many of those prophecies were of Christ Himself, so when He came, He announced that He came to fulfill the words of the prophets.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 12

Here we cover proofs 34 through 37 of TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White. These are from the prophets Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel. William Finck’s prepared notes are found below.

(34) Daniel - The beast empires prophesied to come after Nebuchadnezzar, and where they ruled

While the other prophets of the Bible and the history which they had foretold are all proven to be true in their own ways, nowhere among the Old Testament prophets is history foretold in such a clearly identifiable manner as in Daniel. For that reason, Biblical critics always try to push Daniel forward to a date much later than the time in which the book itself professes that it was written. But internal evidence in the book helps serve to prove that Daniel wrote it when the book claims it was written, in the 6th century BC, because Daniel has been justified by archaeology.
