"THREE HEAVENLY WITNESSES"...Bishop Clement of Alexander, writing around 200 A.D., thus quotes a comparatively trivial and innocuous passage from the forged First Epistle of St. John[v.7] which, through fraudulent tampering later became one of the "chief stones of the corner" of the Holy Church that the Fathers built:" John says:'for there are three that bear witness, the Spirit, and the Water, and the Blood: and these three are one[Clem,Alex, fragment from Cassiodorus, ch.iii;ANF.iii,576] This is self-evidently the original text of this now famous, or infamous, passage. Turning now to the Word of God as found in the "Authorized Protestant and the Chaloner-Douay Version of the Catholic Vulgate, we read with wonder:v7. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.v8. and there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the Water, and the Blood: and these three agree in one."[1 John,v7,8] Let us now turn to the same text, or what is left of it, in the Revised Version,,v8. for there are three that bear witness, the Spirit, and the Water, and the Blood: and these three agree in one" Eramus first detected the fraud and omitted the forged verse in his edition of the Greek Testament in 1516.[ New Comm.pt.iii.p, 718-19] This verse 7, bluntly speaking, is a forgery: it has been willfully and wickedly interpolated, to sustain the Trinitarian doctrine; it has been entirely omitted by the Revisers of the New Testament."[ Roberts, Companion to the Revised Version,p.72] It was first pointed out in 1516 that these two verses were an interpolation, for they do not appear in the best manuscripts down to the fifteenth century. The Roman Catholic Church refuse to bow to evidence. The Congregation of the Index, on January 13, 1897, with the approbation of Leo xiii, forbade the any question of the authenticity of the text relating to the 'Three Heavenly Witnesses'. It showed in this instance a willful ignorance to which St. Gregory's rebuke is specially applicable:" God does not need our lies."[ Orpheus,p.239] But His church does; for without them it would not be, and without the forged ' Three Heavenly Witnesses," and the forged" Baptism Formula" of Matthew[xxiii,19] there would not be a word in the entire New Testament hinting the existence of the Three-in- One God of Christianity. The Holy Trinity is an unholy forgery! A confessed forgery of Holy Writ consciously kept in the "canonical" text as a fraudulent voucher for a false Trinity, such is" the Three Heavenly Witnesses" to the shame and ignominy of the Holy Church of Christ," which has never decieved any one, and which has never made an error, and never shall err to all eternity."This is not an error,however; it is but one more deliberate "clerical" lie to the glory of God" Nevertheless, the forging of papal letters was even more frequent in the Middle Ages than in the early Church[ CE.ix,203] LYING FOUNDED on forgery upon forgery, the Church of Christ perpetuated itself and consolidated its vast usurped powers, and amassed wealth, by a series of further and more secular forgeries and frauds unprecedented in human history, faintly approximated only by its initial forgeries of the fundamental gospels and epistles of the New Testament, and of countless other forged religious documents. These first relate to the infancy of the Church, constitute its false certificates of Heavenly birth and of Divinely civil status. They are, as it were, the livery of heaven with which the Holy Church clothed its moral nakedness until it attained maturer strength and became adept to commit the most stupendous forgeries for its own self-aggrandizement and for the completer domination of mind and soul of its ignorant and superstitious subjects, for the base purpose of greed for worldly riches and power, and designed so to paralyze and stultify the minds and reason of men that they should suffer themselves to be exploited without caring or daring to question or complain, and be helpless to resist the crimes committed against them. Forged title deeds to vast territories, forged and false Saints, Martyrs, Miracles and Relics, forged documents of ecclesiastical power spiritual and temporal, surpassing the power of imagination or accomplishment by any other than a divinely inspired church, in its profound, cynical Knowledge and exploitation of the degraded depths of ignorance and superstition to which it sunk its victims, and of their mental and moral incapacity to detect the holy frauds worked upon them. This was the glorious Age of Faith, the Dark Age of human benightedness and priestly thralldom when the Holy Church was the Divinely-illuminate and unique Teacher of Christendom, and when the Christians world too ignorant to be unbelieving or heretic, for "unbelief is no sin that ignorance was ever capable of being guilty of.",,forgery in Christianity..J.WHELESS.
