Description

Miracles and Mysteries in Judeo-Christianity:



Miracles are necessary acts to prove the prophethood of the prophets. Thus when Moses parted the sea or when Jesus cured
the sick and raised the dead; these miraculous acts were signs to people to the authenticity of the person performing
these acts.



In Christianity, however, it heavily relied on miracles and supernaturalism to settle even the dogmatic differences.
Here is a bizarre story quoted by the Theosophists that  shows how a miracle decided which Gospels are to be accepted as
authentic and included in the Canon of the Bible (the upload includes the reference to this story): 



"By the fourth century it became necessary for the Church to decide which of the many Gospels then in circulation
were to be accepted as authentic. The question came up in the Council of Nicea. Fortunately the testimonies of two
eye-witnesses have been preserved, so there can be little doubt as to the method used in the selection of the Gospels.
There were 318 Bishops present in this Council, and one of the two eyewitnesses, Sabinus, Bishop of Heraclea, left a
description of their mental capacities.



"With the exception of the Emperor (Constantine)" he said, "and Eusebius Pamphilus, these Bishops were a
set of illiterate, simple creatures who understood nothing." About forty Gospels were submitted to these Bishops.
As they differed widely in their contents, the decision was difficult. At last it was determined to resort to
"miraculous intervention." The method used was known as the Sortes Sanctorum, or "the holy casting of
lots for purposes of divination." 



Its use in the Council of Nicea was described by another eye-witness, Pappus, in his Synodicon to that Council. He says:
Having promiscuously put all the books referred to the Council for determination under a communion table in a church,
they (the Bishops) besought the Lord that the inspired writings might get upon the table, while the spurious ones
remained underneath. And it happened accordingly. 



When the Bishops returned to the Council room on the following morning, the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
were resting on the communion table. Their presence in the New Testament is due to the art of divination, for practicing
which the Church subsequently condemned men and women as sorcerers, enchanters and witches, and burned them by the
thousands."



The above story causes a lot of embarrassment to the Christians; many of them discredit it as unauthentic and dismiss
the source as an obscure writer with no credibility. But, even if this story was not authentic, few doubt that miracles
and mysteries are major source (or explanation) to many of the Christian beliefs. 



This upload includes 15 titles. Some of these titles are apologetics in nature.

ecclesiastical institutions. In this book he argued that the divine revelation of the Bible contains no true mysteries;
rather, all the dogmas of the faith can be understood and demonstrated by properly trained reason from natural
principles. For this argument he was prosecuted by a grand jury in London, and the book was also burnt by the public
hangman in Dublin, because it was contrary to the core doctrine of faith.
