    Author

    William Loudermilk

    I've been given 6 facts about myself to share that might not be known. 1. I am a living Rorhshach inkblot upon which people project their greatest fears, or aspirations. I've been called everything from Jesus Christ to Charles Manson, or I suppose the ZZ Top would end the alphabetical listing, and Grizzly Adams comes before Jesus, too. 2. If you perceive the world to be idyllic, then you probably perceive me as "sanely challenged". 3 If you perceive the world to be currently flawed, yet full of potential for something truly wonderful for ALL of mankind, you probably will perceive me as completely sane. 4 The more rigidly you hold onto an unquestioned dogma, the more likely you will think of me as a heretic to that dogma. 5. I am an iconoclast. 6. I can still be the most charming and quick-witted man you will probably ever encounter, traits that don't come across well on such an impersonal medium. And, for a bonus, as a drink cup I was given by some dear friends says "Sarcasm is just One of my many talents."

      The Bible Fraud An Untold Story of Jesus Christ by Tony Bushby 2001 The Pacific Blue Group, INC Hong Kong

      Australian author, Tony Bushby in his 2001 book, The Bible Fraud, has a quote on its front cover attributed to Pope Leo X (1513-1521). We will discuss this quote in more detail when we approach it in text in the third chapter. The quote is: How well we know what a profitable superstition this fable of Christ has been for us. We will see who is proposing the fable for profit later. Mr Bushby expresses his humility in research when he asks on page 11 Was this book forseen by Nostradamus? What rationality for publishing!

      Page 12 gets even better with a title for the page of No Arguments ... Many people may find themselves at odds with certain conclusions reached within this book. Therefore, the author, publisher and associates of this publication will not engage in written religious argument with readers who hold a different opinion from those expressed here. Forgive me for jumping ahead to Mr Bushby’s fourth title in this series ,The Twin Deception, but it is only to an unnumbered page 13 for the following quote after the same disclaimer about discourse, Those who doubt what is revealed in this book should personally conduct their own research to verify that what is recorded is supportable in historical records and church archives. The research I have done, Mr Bushby, is checking out the sources you cite, and that, sir, has led me no other alternative to expose your misquoting, your taking of quotes out of context, your lies, and the worst academic charge: plagiarism. One of Mr Bushby’s primary sources is The Catholic Encyclopedia and I have, unfortunately, had the time to check out every reference made in The Bible Fraud taken from The Catholic Encyclopedia. I will dissect his agenda by his own sources.

      On the third page of his very first chapter, we can find lack of scholarship when we read the following on page 19: It was the ‘wisest fool in Christendom’,2 who ‘authorized’ the translation and publication of the first Protestant version of the Bible into English. He came to the English throne in 1603 ... If you research the history of the Bible in English you will discover that the first complete translation was published in 1535, and is known by its main translator’s name as the Coverdale Bible. If you have access to a good rare book library, there should be a copy, for I have studied copies both at Indiana University in Bloomington, IN and at the Newberry Library in Chicago, IL. Please note that the Coverdale Bible is dedicated to Henry VIII. Of course, it was Henry VIII who had to create the Anglican Church (Church of England) and split from the Vatican because divorce was forbidden by the Catholic Church and his wife would not bear him a son to be his heir. So in the first sentence of the second section of the first chapter, we can accuse Mr Bushby of sloppy, incomplete research because the first English Bible was published in 1535, and it was in protest to the Vatican’s reluctance to interpret in the languages of the people, spawned by the hundred years of Gutenberg’s genius. On page 19, we can also safely accuse Mr Bushby of plagiarism. Mr Bushby writes about Sir Francis Bacon He was a man of many aims and purposes, the father of modern science, remodeler of modern law, patron of modern democracy, and possibly the reviver of Freemasonry.

      A truly remarkable mind expressed its genius through a man named Manly Palmer Hall. In 1925 he started his research for one of the most interesting tomes ever compiled. He self-published this work and entitled it An Encyclopedic Outline of Masonic, Hermetic, Qabbalistic, and Rosicrucian Symbolical Philosophy. The subtitle of this work is THE SECRET TEACHINGS OF ALL THE AGES and its recent reprinted edition, sans plates, is The Secret Teachings of All Ages. Mr Bushby lists this book in his bibliography on page 237, incorrectly listing 1901 as its publication date; however, 1901 is the year attributed to the birth of Mr Hall. The Subscription (first) Edition was published in 1928. The Lilly Library on the campus of Indiana University in Bloomington, IN (which also houses the Coverdale Bible 1535, as well as other rare old Bibles) possesses a Subscription Edition of this tome. Listed in the list of subscribers, it is interesting to note that the Vatican Library is found. The pages in this tome are about a foot wide by one and a half feet long, and Mr Hall numbered his pages with Roman Numerals. I will cite from this volume; therefore, my paginations will differ from the more recent paperback edition.

      Mr Hall writes on pages CLXV and continues onto CLXVI with this about Sir Francis Bacon: Father of modern science, re-modeler of modern law, editor of the modern Bible, patron of modern democracy, and one of the founders of modern Freemasonry, Sir Francis Bacon was a man of many aims and purposes. Though not exactly sure, I believe that this one sentence would be enough evidence to keep from awarding Mr Bushby a Doctoral Degree if this was his thesis in the United States. But Mr Bushby is Australian, and maybe they don’t mind someone altering an already published sentence slightly, without any recognition. As we will continue to see, Mr Bushby has taken from Mr Hall at liberty without citing his source.

      The next example of incomplete scholarship comes on page 21. Mr Bushby states His reason was personal, as King James had previously instructed the revisers to ‘defend the position of the king’ in their restructuring of the texts ... In their translation of 1 Peter 2:13 the revisors changed the phrase ‘the emperor, as supreme’ to ‘the king, as supreme’. Because King James’ Bible was written to support the authority of a king, … It is easy to see how inadequate his research is when consulting his Bibliography because he only refers to one English Bible printed before the KJV in 1611 and that is the Bishop’s Bible 1608. For every English language Bible printed since 1535, including the Vatican’s official translation, published as a New Testament only in Rhemes in 1582, all use some spelling of king. No English Bible used the word emperor instead
