In one of the YouTube exchanges of opinions that, more often than not, end up in name-calling, the argument was that the Dead Sea Scroll has
vindicated Christianity. I wonder if these YouTube marauders know what they are
talking about. I know for sure, at least I thought I knew for sure, that the Dead
Sea scroll has nothing to do with Christianity. It’s an ancient manuscript of
the Hebrew Bible hidden by its owners in many caves in Al Qumran, Palestine, more than 2,000 years ago. Carbon dating of the manuscripts put it at 150 BCE –
68 ACE (A.D.). Nothing in the 85,000 pieces of torn manuscript mentioned about
Jesus, Christianity, or the New Testament, but maybe I was wrong. I wanted to
know more…
After many hours of watching documentaries and reading, I realized that the Dead Sea Scrolls are a Dragon slayer that will kill Christianity. The Dominican monks who studied it for more than 30 years, keeping it away from Jewish scholars, couldn’t find any earth-shaking connections with Jesus and the New Testament. They finally opened it to the world of scholarly research in 1990.
The “teacher of righteousness” was the leader and possibly
founder of the Essenes, a fundamentalist group of Jews who owned the library
that included biblical scriptures better known as the Dead Sea scrolls.
Although it could not be ascertained how the teacher of righteousness died in
the hands of the ruling Jewish hierarchy, many believe that he was among the 800 crucified by the wicked priest in 63 BCE, shortly before Palestine was
conquered by the Roman legions.
Although the absence of Jesus may be ignored quietly, learned Christians who are genuine seekers of truth, many of who have already left the faith, may find the “Teacher of Righteousness” earth-shaking proof of Jesus
being a myth. I wonder if Paul and his bunch of Jew conspirators who founded
Christianity were remnant members of the “Essenes” who resurrected the teacher
of righteousness by creating a myth in the person of Jesus.
Christian scholars continue to find and maintain without
proof that Jesus, although his name was not mentioned anywhere in the scrolls,
had somehow something to do with the scrolls. Some even believe that the name Joshua
mentioned a few times in the scroll was Jesus, the name ‘Jesus Christ’ being a title, not a name. Many Christians are now becoming more Jewish than Christian
by saying Jews and Christians worship the same God, something Jews who hate
Jesus will find laughable. For Christians to come to terms with the Jewish
religion where Jesus belonged, they must give up the notion that Jesus is God or the son of God. For Christians to worship the same God that Jesus
worshiped while he walked among men, they should form a new religion, become a Jew, or become a Muslim.
There are many interesting documentaries of the “Dead Sea
Scroll” you will find on YouTube particularly the apocalyptic prophecies; a
battle between the sons of light and the sons of darkness.
