Beschreibung

In this book after about 2000 years, I have proved that Jesus Chris were not a Jew rather he was Mandaean. Many people were doubtfull that Jesus was a Jew but they never knew if he was not what he was. In this book I show why there are such big differences between Judaism and Christianity like: 1- Why Sunday is holy-day and not Saturday? 2- Why they baptize and not circumcision? 3- Why not divorce in Christianity? 4- Why 300 years the symbol for Christianity was fish? 5- Where was Jesus for 30 years? 6- Who was John the Baptist? His name (mostly the real one) has appeared only in Persian translations and that has very important meaning while John has no meaning. And much much more which I have written in this book and I have much more in my head. In some universities of different countries which I have connected, their professors have started reading the book and discussed about it and may bring it up in their lecture and I have already given lecture in some universities in different countries. The subject has no expiry date and can be translated in any language. I have many writings on Philosophy History Society

Preface:

After translation of the write-up and keeping in view that it might be published in book form, explanation of some points seems to be necessary:

How the intellectual background of such a write-up was prepared:

I grew-up in a secular family where some members even had communist thinking. My father belonged to a big and old family (his generation come to Abraham) that was literate for generations. He was always worried for our education and wanted us to receive the best education. As he was an experienced man, he always used to say; “wondering is better than eating” and used to take us to historical places. During a visit to Isfahan we went to the Armenian Church, where got a copy of Persian translation of the Old and the New Testament. At that time, I was about eleven years old. I started reading the Persian translation of scriptures from that time which was very much against the norms of the so-called guardians of the religion because everyone was supposed to read the scripture of his/her own religion. 

Debates and discussions related to the Greek philosophers like Socrates, Aristotle etc and likewise discussions related to religions (Buddhism, Hinduism etc.) and even communism used took place in our family.

On the other hand, my hometown Abadan was a new urban area at that time, and hence a migrants-dominated town. Naturally, this migrants-dominated town had all the possibilities of settlement of all kind of Iranian people belonging to any faith or religion. In addition, Abadan was an industrial city and world's largest oil refinery with excellent facilities of that time was in Abadan. Moreover, Abadan was a border-town and next to the Persian Gulf, and as a result, was easily accessible by radio and television channels of some neighbouring countries which as a result attracted people from all over the world and furthermore resulted in cultural exchanges bringing the outer world closer. 

In Abadan, people from diverse nationalities like Indians, Pakistanis, British, Africans etc and likewise people belonging to different religions like Christians, Hindus, Jews etc and most importantly the Mandaeans, to whom this write-up is related, used live there.

I grew-up in such a diverse atmosphere that was different from others.

Abadan is located in the Khuzistan province where monuments of many ancient people like Elamites, Shush etc., palaces of ancient kings, great ancient temples (like Ziggurat etc.), the tomb of Hebrew prophet Daniel and many more historical monuments are situated that gave me great lessons and sparked in me the enthusiasm of learning history.

I started buying weekly magazines from my school days when I was in class two and three and began to buy books from my high-school days. On the other hand, my father used to buy newspapers and after reading, without saying anything to us, he used to leave them where they were and I used to read them enthusiastically. My father also used bought weekly intellectual magazines that I used to read.

Also, one of our relatives, who lived a few hundred kilometres away in good climate region and where we used to go in summer vacations, was a very learned man and he immensely influenced me towards reading and thinking.

All the above-mentioned factors induced the interest of reading and learning regardless any boundaries. Hence, all that you will see in this book is based on long experience right from the time I opened my eyes.

A basic difference between the people ofMiddle Eastand rest of the world!

Today it is 30 years that I am living in Sweden. Naturally, I have interacted with many Swedish and even people from different European countries; likewise, during my travels to different countries and interaction with people, I came through a basic difference between the people of Middle East with them:

Three Semitic religions; Judaism, Christianity and Islam, rose from the Middle East, as a result, the general story of the people of this region is extracted from the scriptures related to these religions. Even our uneducated grandmothers, for night stories, used to tell stories from these books and narrated the miracles of the prophets like the story of Prophet Suleiman and his miracles and his rule over jinn, humans and many other stories. However, in the stories that I heard from the Christians of the West, I did not find anything similar to the fables prevalent in the Middle East. In fact, the bulk of the fables and tales of both the regions are poles apart from each other. We can say that the unique knowledge regarding these scriptures and stories are rooted in the minds right from childhood. Even the popular media exploits these stories. Because of a more ready mentality in the Middle East, these stories are used for inter-religious studies (these stories give them more knowledge than other to know about same religion). But Iranians have a basic difference with the rest of the Middle East: besides accepting Islam and Semitic stories, they carried on their own myths, stories, and the remains of their past religion Zoroastrianism that gives them a kind of supremacy over others because the diverse the learning, the more the power of thinking.

Is the story of Jesus Christ real?

For the reason that the New Testament attempted to depict Jesus as a Jew for about twenty centuries, the mind and the views of people have changed.

About 25 years ago, during a friendly discussion with a priest and in-charge of the School of Religious Sciences (Theology Institution), I mooted my doubts and questions regarding the beginning verses of the New Testament (that Jesus was a Jew). But the notion that the story is based on Jewish sources had in some measure blinded my views. Consequently, because in the background of my mind Jesus was a Jew, the legend was not comparable with the Old Testament and the life of Jews. Hence, I was on the view that the entire narrative was fictitious with zero historical facts. This viewpoint was steadily shifting until it reached its zenith. On 11th May 2018, while walking thoughtfully and wondering for the answers to the queries of a friend in this regard, I realized that there are some facts veiled in the story of Jesus and the New Testament and it should critically traced in the books, stories, faiths, life and history of the Mandaeans.

It is notable that almost all the religious law and basic practices in Christianity and Judaism are poles apart but it is common with the Mandaeaism. Therefore, it can be inferred that Christianity may have roots in the history and culture of the Mandaeans and to find out historical facts in the New Testament we should know the Mandaeaism in a better way.

2-3 years ago, a Catholic-Christian friend asked me that I have a question that even the Pope did not answer but I think you could: We know that Jesus disappeared for a long time, during his disappearance where he was and what he was doing?

I replied: This is the same period that is mentioned in the book of the Mandaeans when their prophet Yahya (John the Baptist) disappears.

I remembered this conversation on 11th May 2018 that made me curious that there might be historical facts (although not as much of) in the story of Jesus that was later exaggerated. That means, if we look into the New Testament from the dimensions of the religion, rules, history, practices and customs of the Mandaeans, we can find roots of history in this story. 

But looking from the angles of religion, rules, history, practices and custom of Jews take us to nowhere except realizing that the New Testament is false and fictitious.

Maybe Jesus Christ is the same Yahya of the Mandaeans (John the Baptist)

The Mandaeans, who were known for their mysticism and wisdom, are the founders of the idea of  ”being God” that was later replicated in Christianity in the make-up of a person named Jesus who is sometimes termed as God, sometimes human and sometimes Son of God. Two hundred years after what we call the Birth of Christ, famous philosopher Plotinus, has introduced this idea and has discussed that how humans started becoming God and hence has give a written background to this idea. Although after sometime this book, which was the foundation of everything, was forgotten but ‘Neoplatonism’ remained without any careful attention to these facts.

The Mandaeans, engaged with their philosophy of “being God” and no harm to others [peaceful co-existence], migrated to the south of Iran and Iraq and continued to live silently and peacefully. Over the time, all these facts were forgotten but the New Testament and its stories with the depiction of Jesus as a Jew remained without considering that the root of the stories or facts was something else.

It was fate that parts of the recently published book of the Mandaeans reached to the hands of a person like me who (as said earlier, grown up in the same environment and region) brought together the facts and revealed the reality that was hidden for centuries in the bind of a fictitious story.

Now Christians should open their eyes and see the truth. If they want to accept Jesus with the as mentioned, they should accept that he was a Mandaean, not a Jew.  The Mandaeans people are still there. Though the Old Testament is very far from the commands of Christ, their book that is very close to the teachings of Jesus is still available. Therefore, the respect that the Christians bestowed on the Jews for centuries owing their existence to them, even accepting themselves as their slaves that resulted in spending of Billions to publish the New Testament along with the New Testament, must be changed now. Even they should publish the book of the Mandaeans along with the New Testament. However, they must have thrown out a major part of the New Testament but it is possible to fill the gap with the book of the Mandaeans.

Christians should understand their place by refusing the fictitious stories of the New Testament, break-up with Judaism and developing contacts with Mandaeaism, so that they could free themselves from fake dependence and false relationship and discover their own and new identity.

Conclusion:

The human was the only being that thought about its existence and as a result after going through many levels finally reached to what we call ‘religion’ that provide early explanations to existence. But today, in the light of new sciences, believing those stories or blindly accepting the arguments and reasons of religions regarding the universe, human and existence are far from being rational.

Our knowledge has reached a level that we realise that we know nothing about the universe and existence and we should not base the rules of life on the foundations of religions.  

My philosophy is the most updated one.

Follow my philosophy.

Jesus Christ and his mother Mary were not Jews, rather they were Mandaean

At present, millions of Christians, Muslims, Jews, and following them, many other people of the world, believe in the Jewish origins of Jesus Christ and his mother   Mary. This misconception has been entrenched among people for almost two millennia.

Doesn’t it astonish that for almost two thousand years, millions of people have believed that Jesus Christ and his mother were Jews? The immediate consequence of such a belief has been the concurrent publication of the Old Testament, and the New Testament.

How is it possible that people were deceived throughout two millennia?!

Together, the Old Testament and the New Testament have had the highest publication rates throughout human history. No other books have been translated and published in such a diversity of languages as the Old Testament and the New Testament. The motivation for the simultaneous publication of these two books is attributing Jewish origins to Jesus Christ and his mother, Mary. However, the motivation behind concurrent publication of the Old and the New Testament is not aimed at Jews, rather it targets Christians.

Jews do not approve of Jesus Christ at all. They call him fake (phony) Jesus, because if they believed otherwise, Jews would not have remained Jewish and would have converted into Christianity - but they did not. Grounded in this reasoning, Jews do not publish the New Testament among themselves or for themselves.  Jews advocate the Jewish origins of Jesus Christ seriously and covertly through concurrent publication of the Old Testament and the New Testament in order to indirectly keep Christians under their spiritual dominance.

Had it not been for the simultaneous publication of the Jews’ holy book – the Old Testament- along with the New Testament in one single volume, Judaism would have disappeared a long time ago. In other words, the simultaneous publication of the Old and New Testament in one volume has been one of the most important and basic reasons of the survival of Jewish faith. The reason is that it is fundamentally the New Testament that millions of Christians long for, whereas the Old Testament- if published alone- should be published only for 15-20 million Jewish believers. If the Old Testament was not published together with the New Testament, no one would refer to it and, consequently, it would have vanished into isolation and obscurity.

Another benefit that Jews are taking from the concurrent publication of the Old Testament and the New Testament is that the costs of translation and release of Old Testament all over the world is shouldered by Christians.

Now, for the first time in its two-thousand year history, this issue should be challenged and illustrated that Jesus and his mother were not Jews; rather they were Mandaean in such a case, the question of the necessity of publishing the Old Testament as the history and roots of Jesus Christ will disappear.

However, when we come to the point that Jews not only killed Jesus, his people (Mandaeans) and his fellow believers, but they also expatriated their successors, then the necessity and the motivations of concurrent publication of the Old Testament and the New Testament might be looked at and discussed from another perspective: This new perspective would include an introduction containing a comprehensive account, which might be totally in contradiction with the widespread explanations.

Note:

1: In case the precise understanding of this passage appears difficult, it is recommended to refer to my web page www.baygan.org and review the related writings.  For instance, in a study, which I conducted for the first time in the world, I investigated the Old Testament in terms of the animals mentioned in it and I came up with the conclusion that Jews must have been Arab. In another writing, I investigated the difference between Arabs, Jews, Palestinians and Greeks. In the same context I defined that the term “Arab” has no ethnic implication - rather it means nomad, and the early Jews were Arab (nomad) while the Palestinians were Greek and used to settle all over the eastern coastline of Mediterranean Sea which covers an area from present Greece to Egypt.
