Don’t you find it strange that everything we know about Jesus happened just a few years before his crucifixion? All the texts that we are aware of give us a very summarized vision of his life as if just a few hours had passed from the night of his birth to his exile in the desert. His childhood has been suspended in time and hidden from the gaze of many people; However, this stage of his life was described in detail even by some of his followers. In the so-called apocryphal gospels a Child Jesus appears who, if we did not know that it was the Messiah himself, we would think that he was the son of the Devil…
From the murder of a child who mocked Jesus, to his nowhere-closed affair with Mary Magdalene, alternative stories about his life and work have been forgotten in time. Whether because they are not entirely educational or because it is simply not convenient for people to have that perception of their savior, the Church has taken it upon itself to hide them at all costs.
The curious thing is that not only has the private life of Christ been kept secret, but other important facts in the history of Christianity portrayed in the same apocryphal gospels give us faith that the Vatican does not want us to know many things about creation and destruction. of the world according to the Judeo-Christian perception.
If we had the opportunity to gather all the texts that have been excluded from the Bible, we would discover that said book would be much wider than it really is: from sexual fixations to fantastic monsters that we will see on the day of the Apocalypse, the apocryphal texts could expand our perception of religion. However, for some strange unknown reason, the clerics have insisted on erasing the following events from history.
Protoevangelium of Santiago
In an apocryphal text written around the year 150 and titled the Protoevangelium of Santiago, a different version of the birth of Jesus is captured, as well as one of the strongest qualities of the Virgin Mary. According to this book, the Christ Child did not come into the world through Mary’s vagina but rather appeared in the arms of her mother transported by a bright cloud. When a woman named Salome wanted to make sure that Mary was really still a virgin, by inserting a finger into her vagina, as soon as she put her hands between the legs of the mother of Christ, they began to burn.
The Curse of Judas
Tradition says that after having sold the Son of God for 30 coins, Judas died by hanging; The lost book of the first Bishop Papias actually says that history’s most famous traitor began to swell to the point where not even the best doctors with the most advanced tool could find his sunken eyes. Perhaps the part in which Papias puts the most detail is Judas’s penis, which swelled until it was like a horrible amorphous mass, from which, like the rest of the body, worms and all kinds of disgusting substances began to sprout. When the day of his death arrived, his corpse stank so much that no one wanted to go near it.
The 14 Faces of Death
Another of the apocryphal books of the Bible that the Church eliminated from its doctrine is the Testament of Abraham, in this text, the experiences of the father of the three great monotheistic religions are recorded, including of course the one in which the old man escaped death despite the fact that this was a design of God himself. Fed up with man’s cunning, Yahweh sent death to a person who appeared to Abraham as a monster with fourteen faces:
1 and 2: Burning fire and darkness respectively.
3: the sad face of a snake
4: a deep precipice.
5: a poisonous snake.
6: a lion
7 and 8: Cerastes and Basiliscus, two more snakes.
9 and 10: Burning scimitar and a face carrying a sword respectively.
11: a terrible lightning bolt.
12: Stormy waters (rivers and seas).
13: A 3-headed snake.
14: A cup with poison.
Food at the End of the World
According to Brauch’s Apocalypse, an apocryphal text from the 1st century, after humanity suffers earthquakes, floods, and fires, there will come a period of famine that can only be alleviated when Behemoth and Leviathan – the two apocalyptic monsters created by God – emerge from their hiding places since the survivors will be able to feed on their meat.
The Appearance of Hell
Although we conceive it as a place of fire and suffering, another version of this site of eternal punishment appears portrayed in Padro’s Apocalypse. According to the apostle’s perception, hell is built depending on the sins of each person, thus mothers who abort must spend an eternity submerged in sewage, while their dead children shoot lightning and fire through their eyes, which are expected to pierce the body of the condemned.
The Fixations of Jesus
We can skip the part where Jesus and Mary Magdalene find love, however, we cannot ignore what a sect known as the Borborites assumed to be the true Eucharist, since it is about nothing more than Christ having intercourse with a woman he had taken from his rib so that at the end (all in front of Magdalene’s astonished gaze) Jesus drank his own fluids as a kind of communion.
The Real Reason for the Flood
According to tradition, Yahweh decided to flood the earth because “The Sons of God” liked to fornicate with women. However, that doesn’t sound at all like some deviation or anything like that, if we consider that these characters are the men themselves. The truth behind all this is that those creatures that the creator calls “children” are actually the product of the breeding of an angel with a human woman. The 400-foot-tall hybrids terrorized the planet’s people, who at the time were not many, demanding plenty of food from them. To prevent the total extinction of man due to famine, God decided to flood the earth and kill these giants.
Although these events could help us better understand religion and everything it implies, many of them have been subjected to definitive censorship that makes us think that probably those who do not allow us this type of knowledge are hiding something more. than a simple passage in the lives of the Saints.
