"POSTSCRIPTS"

by Prof. Revilo P. Oliver

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.
