Nathaniel J. Merritt, the author of the controversial book called "Jehovah Unmasked: The true identity of the bible god revealed" has decided that the book should now be available free to anyone who wants to download it.

Excerpt from the Email announcement...

From the Publisher
JEHOVAH UNMASKED! The True Identity of the Bible-God Revealed, has been such a success as to warrant a NEW EDITION. This second edition takes the reader even deeper into the truly bizarre side of the Bible. A side you will never hear read from any pulpit anywhere. Come along for a wild ride as the author unfolds to you, in your own Bible, mysteries and weirdness that the churches of Christendom would much rather you remain ignorant of. Be prepared for shock after shock as the light of understanding dawns and you realize how completely YOU HAVE BEEN LIED TO by all the churches of Christendom! Read for yourself, IN YOUR OWN BIBLE, the LIES OF GOD in the Garden of Eden AND THE TRUTH TOLD BY THE SERPENT!
From the Author
JEHOVAH UNMASKED was a lifetime in the making. My lifetime. Never one to believe or think what the herd believes or thinks, my life has been one of spiritual searching and discovery. The Jehovah's Witnesses sect was my first sustained experience of religion, and they nearly killed me with their raging murderous Old Testament god of hate and vengeance. After being shunned by the Witnesses I began an intense spiritual odyssey through the Baptist ministry and then the Buddhist priesthood that culminated in my embracing Gnosticism. Join me on my journey and be prepared for the wildest ride imaginable through the pages of the Bible!


He has graciously decided to permit the free release of this publication as a PDF (the same one used to publish the book). This is what he said in an email to me:

I have decided that Jehovah Unmasked can do far more good as a free PDF than as a book for sale. Please send it on to whomever is interested. If you build a Gnostic web-site, offer it for free. Help me get it out there to as many people as possible, Thanks Nathan!

So without further ado,

    • *http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel_of_Judas

      The Gospel of Judas is a Gnostic gospel purported to document conversations between the apostle Judas Iscariot and Jesus Christ. The document is not claimed to have been written by Judas himself, but rather by Gnostic followers of Jesus. It exists in an early fourth-century Coptic text, though it has been proposed, but not proven, that the text is a translation of an earlier Greek version. The Gospel of Judas is probably from no earlier than the second century, since it contains theology that is not represented before the second half of the second century, and since its introduction and epilogue assume the reader is familiar with the canonical Gospels. The oldest Coptic document has been carbon dated to AD 280, plus or minus 50 years.

      According to the canonical Gospels of the New Testament (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), Judas identified Jesus to Jerusalem's Temple authorities, who handed Jesus over to Pontius Pilate, representative of the occupying Roman Empire, for crucifixion. The Gospel of Judas, on the other hand, portrays Judas in a very different perspective than do the Gospels of the New Testament, according to a preliminary translation made in early 2006 by the National Geographic Society: the Gospel of Judas appears to interpret Judas's act not as betrayal, but rather as an act of obedience to the instructions of Jesus. This assumption is taken on the basis that Jesus required a second agent to set in motion a course of events which he had planned. In that sense Judas acted as a catalyst. The action of Judas, then, was a pivotal point which interconnected a series of simultaneous pre-orchestrated events.

      This portrayal seems to conform to a notion current in some forms of Gnosticism, that the human form is a spiritual prison, that Judas thus served Christ by helping to release Christ's soul from its physical constraints, and that two kinds of human beings exist: the men furnished with the immortal soul which is "from the eternal realms" and "will abide there always" ("the strong and holy generation...with no ruler over it", to whom Judas belongs), and the other ones, the majority of mankind, who are mortal and therefore unable to reach the salvation. The Gospel of Judas does not claim that the other disciples knew gnostic teachings. On the contrary, it asserts that they had not learned the true Gospel, which Jesus taught only to Judas Iscariot, the sole follower belonging to the "holy generation" among the disciples.

      Jesus told Judas that for his obedience he would be the most hated of all the apostles...so that is why Jesus took Judas on a spiritual journey to show him the wonders of the creation outside of this planet. And he also told him that one day the truth would become known and that he would be honored as the one who was obedient to the end. Unlike Peter who denied Jesus three times.

    • If you have a right to state your beliefs you see as pertaining to all mankind and Christians have been doing it loudly throughout history , I have the right to caution mankind about what history and science reveals to be your fantasy and fanaticism. You're allowed to preach and I'm allowed to be critical of your message.

    • This is so offensive, just because he doesn't believe in God or a religion, doesn't mean he can go around trash talking other people's gods or religions. Why does he have to call Christianity a lie, why does he have to talk bad about it. This really disturbs me, everybody has a right to believe in what they want to believe in, so don't trash talk someone else's beliefs. Another thing, the Christains need to stand up and defend themselves. If someone wrote a book like this about the Muslims, the Muslims would hurry up and stand up for what they believe in, I have to give the Muslims their props because they will stand up for what they believe in no matter who or what is in their way, or what the factors are. Why is everyone just dissing Christianity and Islam. They are the two top religions in the world, and their is a god, and he is God, so get used to it. Now I'm not trying to offend anybody by this, but I'm just expressing my right of free speech. I am a Christian, and I believe in God, and always have. Jesus said to make friends with your enemies if you can. Well people are sure making it hard for us to by doing things like this. I don't have anything against anyone or their religion and beliefs. But please don't trash talk anyone's god, whether it is Jesus, Allah, Buddah, Vishnu, or any god, just don't dis them. Please respect everyone and their religion and beliefs, even if they don't respect your's.

    • Exodus:

      You are sadly mistaken in your assumptions Exodus...I happen to know for a fact that the author does indeed believe in God...the Father of Jesus who is the Father of Wisdom, Love, Compassion, and Mercy....He does not believe that the God of the Old Testament, Jehovah, is the same Father of Jesus who was revealed through Jesus's Christ status.

      If Jehovah is anything divine...he is nothing more than an administrator Angel who got puffed up with his ego because he was in charge of the team of Angels who shaped the earthly creation...decided that he was just as powerful and important as the Creator...and made himself like God and wanted humans to worship him motivated by fear of his power to crush, destroy, torture, murder, annihilate, and create fear in humans through demonstrations of his power.

      Truth needs no defense...that is the Gnostic way. The author of this book is Gnostic which happens to be one of the oldest so called Christian sects. Catholicism is another Christian sect as is Protestantism and all their various children and cousins that have been spawned throughout the ages.

      The only reason that this material might be offensive is because a believer in the myth of the bible has their whole identity and reality enmeshed with the interpretation that they are invested in...handed to them by their sect or their religious leader. The popular interpretations of scripture...held by almost two billion people worldwide...Jewish, Christian and Muslim all are based on the same idea that the god they worship is the friend of Abraham who later revealed himself to be Jehovah....but there are many clues in the very Bible and Koran that these sects follow that reveal the identity of the one called Yahweh, Jehovah, Allah or "he that cannot be named".

      One big clue is the story of Jacob's ladder. Do you remember that story? Jacob wrestles with an angel and then the angel reveals himself to be Jehovah and changes Jacob's name to Israel? That is just one small clue...there are literally thousands upon thousands of examples that I could show you that together point to a complete misinterpretation of who Jehovah, Yahweh, Alla, "he that cannot be named" really is.

      Perhaps you need to reassess your motivations for being offended and fearful of this text.

    • Hey guys, 'm still unable to vote or reply. Probably Repugnant dirty tricks;-) I use Mozilla Fire Fox, and have had no problems recently, and then all of a sudden, no vote... no reply. There was a period of about 6 months that ended at the beginning of the year where I wasn't able to do anything on current.com. The site recognized my account but none of the links would respond. And just as suddenly it started working one day early this year.

      Unless someone out there can suggest a solution, I'm sure it'll take a day or so to figure out what is happening. The last time something like this happened, the techs at current.com were unable to help after numerous attempts.

    • Religion has through history been for the sole purpose of the control of the believer, early on join us or die, join and you were born into sin, It was the need of man and his need to control that ended paganism. One God one voice through god be it jesus, muhammed, abraham, or whoever it was and to this day is about control. Faith, thats another story, selling false hope, should be a crime,
      accept what you cannot change, change what you can, and have the wisdom to know the difference.

      No apology needed as this is the internet and if you take things personally then you don't have any business being here...on the note of what you mentioned....yes indeed there are many wolves in sheep's clothing. The way to spot them is that they usually want your money for God...and they try to enslave your mind.

      So by comparison...the author of this book is far from being a wolf...he isn't the leader of a big mega church...he isn't selling you anything...and he isn't trying to enslave your mind.

      So perhaps there is something there worth looking under the hood?

      You are so right about wolfs in sheep's clothing. Your comment has triggered in me a desire to share with you an event that just happened. I am an elderly man living on Social Security. I have a heart condition so I am limited somewhat with activities. I live in the bible belt. I consider myself an agnostic who leans toward atheism. For years I have avoided the so called Christians around here; I'm sure you know why. The other day there was a knock at my door and it was a young lady neighbor of mine that I hardly know. She had over heard me complaining to another neighbor about my dirty kitchen walls that needed painting. She asked if her bible class could paint my kitchen. Of course I knew a vigorous sales pitch would accompany their generosity but I couldn't bring myself to prevent them from performing their Christian deed. Then a young girl came and asked me to leave and come back in about two hours. When I returned they were gone. They had painted my kitchen. shampooed the carpet, put new sheets and comforter on my bed, and a new shower curtain, new throw rugs, cleaned the entire house, left a bowl of candy on the table and beautiful mums in an antique planter outside my door . . . and a $25 grocery gift certificate on my desk. I haven't heard a word from them since and so I don't know who they are and my neighbor won't tell me. I still won't trust the average Christian's motives but I wanted to share with one time when beneath their sheep's clothing was some actual sheep.

    • LOL!
      take a cold shower.
      People promising to to the "truth" behind Christianity have been around since it was founded. It's nothing but fools competing for attention. If they're successful they form some weird offshoot like Jehovah's witnesses or Mormons.

      It' exactly the same as political parties and their jostling for position, breaking apart and forming new groups (tea party, Libertarian whatever) and ideologues like Glen Beck. None of them "know the truth" or have any clever knowledge, but ALL of them want YOUR attention, all of them want you to put them in centre stage so they can be the new boss in town.
      Same as the old boss.

    • I haven't read the book yet but here's a little info I found: gnosis: (The g is silent).
      Relating to knowledge, from the Greek gnosis (knowledge or investigation), which is also the root for 'cognitive' and 'cognition'. Gnosticism in general is a variety of religious belief, assuming privileged knowledge of the spiritual world — knowledge considered superior to the science of the day — and bringing with it the promise of salvation. It has taken many forms, having its origins in a variety of pagan sources, including Greek philosophy, Hellenistic mystery cults, and Babylonian and Egyptian mythology, and persisting into modern times in movements such as theosophy.

      The best-known adherents are the Christian Gnostics, active during the 2nd century ad. They appeared first as schools of thought within the Church, eventually mostly becoming separate sects; indeed much of early Church doctrine was formulated to counteract their heresies. The various groups widely differed in their teachings and practices but in common made a distinction between a remote and unknowable Divine Being and an inferior deity (the Demiurge) who was the immediate source of creation which was necessarily imperfect since he was held to be antagonistic to the truly spiritual. Some men, however, were thought to contain a divine spark and, through gnosis and the (often secret) rites associated with it, this spiritual element could be rescued from its evil material environment. Gnosis came from the Divine Being through the medium of Christ bringing redemption.

      And we're still here. And for sure, that spark is in us all and we must break free from the materialism set up by false gods in the diversionary world in order to get to Gnosis. Self exploration is key in that happening.

      If you want some interesting reading, search for "Gnostic Bible", "Gnostic Texts", or "Gnostic Codex".
      When the Bible was put together, some books either didn't make the cut, or were left out.
      Some books that would paint a more detailed picture on the story of Jesus.

      Jubal;

      This is an interview that was on PBS a few years ago with Elaine Pagels, a biblical scholar who worked on the Dead Sea Scrolls, Gnostic Gospels and brought us a new truth about Thomas, one of Jesus' disciples who does not get much play in the Bible except as a "doubter", but who has his own Gnostic Gospel and actually taught spiritual enlightenment as the inner spark as our way to Gnosis. Very interesting.

      "“Faith is our earth, in which we take root; hope is the water through which we are nourished; love is the air through which we grow; gnosis is the light through which we become fully grown." Beyond Belief, Elaine Pagels

    • Sounds interesting. I'll check it out.

      I have no spiritual title for myself, but I will say this:

      I think almost ALL commonly taught religious rhetoric is wrong... and I think it would fall under the "false teachings" that the bible warned about. God (whatever he is) represents love, not hate. He wouldn't want us spending our lives living in fear / violence, or hating others because of classist and bigoted bullshit. I don't read the bible, and I don't go to church, nor will I ever again... but that much I know for sure.

      I think religion has morphed into something evil, something that has been manipulated for the greed of lesser men. I used to consider myself a rabid atheist (now I'm just... open minded), and I am beginning to think that the bible contains hidden knowledge... and that it is entirely misused for profit. I've always thought that the bible shouldn't be discounted entirely, but that it's misuse has guided us into the times we see now... which are... pretty terrible.

      So I'm open to accept some new opinions on the subject. Let's see what he's got.

    • I have studied Gnostic Christianity- from the description (I have not read the book) this sounds like Gnostic Lucifarianism.

      While I still don't believe any of it, at least it is consistent with what the Bible says. Traditional Christianity is one huge contradiction to it's core.

      But, Christians don't believe the Bible anyway- they believe what they were told the Bible means, and then read that into the Bible.

    • s_peak:

      It's not just absolutes- it's the belief that God is a perfect being that loves us all, but also did all the awful things in the old testament.

      Gnostics believe there are two Gods- one big, perfect god who is completely hands-off and inaccessible to us, and the Demiurge, who is this evil being who treats us like a bully with a magnifying glass treats an ant hill.

      The Demiurge is Yehveh. He is selfish and vain, and only wants to be worshiped. As the Bible says- God is a Jealous God, and God kills people for one reason only- they don't worship him.

      The Demiurge has Angels, one of whom was Lucifer his right hand, and that angel felt pity for us lowly humans. He came down to earth as a snake, to help Adam and Eve by letting us learn the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

      By doing so, Adam and Eve could see that God was Evil.

      God then spent the rest of the Old Testament torturing us.

      SO, Lucifer said, "Please stop!" If I am willing to fall from grace, will you leave them alone, and stop punishing them for what I did?

      God agreed- and Lucifer fell. For an Angel, "falling" means being born as a human.

      Lucifer was Jesus, thus Lucifer was born, and died, to relieve humans of original sin.

      .. that whole gnostic interpretation simply fits the Bible more than traditional Christianity, where an all-knowing perfect God keeps making one mistake after another, and keeps torturing humanity even though he loves us; and somehow killing Jesus solves this.
