The Hidden Love of Jesus For the Animals
Animals - The Defenseless Victims
Foreword
The texts of the Bible emerged over the course of centuries. People wrote down what was passed on to them and what corresponded to their own ideas, which often were not compatible with God. This was true, for example, of the bloodthirsty ripping apart of animal carcasses that Moses supposedly had held before the sacrificial altars. The same holds true for the many "instructions of God" for child murder, robbing and killing and even genocide in the Old Testament, so that even the Nazis were able to easily cite the Bible to justify their deeds as did Luther for his maxims – and as a Yugoslavian warmonger did a few years ago.
The New Testament is also the work of humans, a collection of texts, the compilation of which as the "Holy Scripture" took place by church decree. Much of what would have been just as "holy" was not included. Much of what was taught by Jesus of Nazareth remained hidden in the apocryphal scriptures and was not included in the collection of scripts we get placed before us today as the Gospel.
About 1600 years ago, Hieronymus was commissioned by the pope to do the first extensive Bible translation into Latin and came under great pressure from political forces and the emerging church power. Topics such as reincarnation, the law of sowing and reaping and the teachings of the Nazarene about people treating animals peaceably did not find a place in the church Bible. However, the fact that Hieronymus knew about Jesus’ love for animals is clearly substantiated by the quote below.
Even though much was concealed in the official Bible, the truth nevertheless comes to light. Our task with this booklet is to contribute to this. With this collection of citations, we want to make the connection with Original Christianity and rehabilitate Jesus as a friend of animals. Who will help to spread this truth?
