When Uriah had come to him, David asked how Joab was doing, and how the people were doing, and how the war prospered. And David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash your feet.” So Uriah departed from the king’s house, and a gift of food from the king followed him. But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house. So when they told David, saying, “Uriah did not go down to his house,” David said to Uriah, “Did you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?” And Uriah said to David, “The ark and Israel and Judah are dwelling in tents, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are encamped in the open fields. Shall I then go to my house to eat and drink, and to lie with my wife? As you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do this thing.” Then David said to Uriah, “Wait here today also, and tomorrow I will let you depart.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next. Now when David called him, he ate and drank before him; and he made him drunk. And at evening he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house. In the morning it happened that David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah. And he wrote in the letter, saying, “Set Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retreat from him, that he may be struck down and die.” So it was, while Joab besieged the city, that he assigned Uriah to a place where he knew there were valiant men. Then the men of the city came out and fought with Joab. And some of the people of the servants of David fell; and Uriah the Hittite died also. Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war, and charged the messenger, saying, “When you have finished telling the matters of the war to the king, if it happens that the king’s wrath rises, and he says to you: ‘Why did you approach so near to the city when you fought? Did you not know that they would shoot from the wall? Who struck Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Was it not a woman who cast a piece of a millstone on him from the wall, so that he died in Thebez? Why did you go near the wall?’—then you shall say, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.’” So the messenger went, and came and told David all that Joab had sent by him. And the messenger said to David, “Surely the men prevailed against us and came out to us in the field; then we drove them back as far as the entrance of the gate. The archers shot from the wall at your servants; and some of the king’s servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.” Then David said to the messenger, “Thus you shall say to Joab: ‘Do not let this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Strengthen your attack against the city, and overthrow it.’ So encourage him.” — 2 Samuel 11:6-25, NKJV

Now therefore, please speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from you.” However, he would not heed her voice; and being stronger than she, he forced (raped) her and lay with her (his sister). — 2 Samuel 13:11-14, NKJV
WHOLESALE RAPE AND INCEST BETWEEN SON AND HIS MOTHERS!
So they pitched a tent for Absalom (son of David) on the top of the house, and Absalom went (had intercourse) in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel. — 2 Samuel 16:22, NKJV
VARIOUS TYPES OF INCEST:
For other various types of incest see — Leviticus 18:8-18, 20:11-14 and 17-21
ISRAELITES
INSATIABLE WHORES: You also played the harlot with the Assyrians, because you (the Israelites) were insatiable; indeed you played the harlot with them and still were not satisfied. — Ezekiel 16:28, NKJV
HARLOTRY OF OHOLAH & OHOLIBAH: For she lusted for her paramours, Whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys, And whose issue is like the issue of horses. Thus you called to remembrance the lewdness of your youth, When the Egyptians pressed your bosom Because of your youthful breasts. — Ezekiel 23:20-21, NKJV
(Whose fleshly member (genitals) is as the fleshly member (genitals) of male asses (donkeys) and whose genital organ is as the genital organ of male horses, Ezekiel 23:1-49, New World Translation)
My people ask counsel from their wooden idols, And their staff informs them. For the spirit of harlotry has caused them to stray, And they have played the harlot against their God. — Hosea 4:12, NKJV
I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel: There is the harlotry of Ephraim; Israel is defiled. — Hosea 6:10, NKJV
Do not rejoice, O Israel, with joy like other peoples, For you have played the harlot against your God.
You have made love for hire on every threshing floor. — Hosea 9:1, NKJV
(For the spirit of prostitution leads them (the Jews) to err and eventually to astray; and they have gone a whoring from under their God.)
JEREMIAH
“Before I formed you in the womb (of your mother) I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” — Jeremiah 1:5, NKJV
(Jeremiah was made a prophet before his birth)
You deceived me, Lord, and I was deceived; you overpowered me and prevailed. I am ridiculed all day long; — Jeremiah 20:7, NKJV
(Jeremiah was deceived by God)
JESUS
- HIS FIRST MIRACLE IN THE HOLY BIBLE:
When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom. — John 2:9, NKJV
(To turn water into wine at the marriage feast at Cana. Yet, his first miracle was to defend his mother, as an infant, against the false accusations of his enemies) - HIS INVECTIVES (INSULTS, ABUSIVE LANGUAGE) AGAINST THE ELDERS OF HIS PEOPLE:
- “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. — Matthew 23:13, NKJV
- A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And He left them and departed. — Matthew 16:4, NKJV
- “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. — Matthew 23:27, NKJV (Ye are like unto whited sepulchers)
- Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? — Matthew 23:33, NKJV
- He calls his mother “Woman” : Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.” — John 2:4, NKJV, the same manner in which he addresses a prostitute, When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” — John 8:10, NKJV
- JESUS CAME TO SEND FIRE ON THE EARTH AND DIVISION!
- I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! — Luke 12:49, NKJV
- Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division. — Luke 12:51, NKJV (boasts that he had not come to bring peace on earth but fire and division!)
- JESUS IS NOT GOD!
Now behold, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life? So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.” — Matthew 19:16-17, NKJV
(Jesus would not allow anyone even to call him “good”, let alone call him god, even with a small “g”. “One came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?) - (JESUS’) POWER NOT HIS OWN:
- And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. — Matthew 28:18, NKJV
- I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me. — John 5:30, NKJV
- But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. — Luke 11:20, NKJV
- Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes (towards heaven) and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.” Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” — John 11:41-43, NKJV
(Who then gave life back to Lazarus? The answer is “GOD!” For God heard the prayer of Jesus, as “always!” - LISTEN NOW TO PETER’S TESTIMONY: Men of Israel (O Jews!), hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God (meaning a prophet) to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know. — Acts 2:22, NKJV (Which God did through Him in your midst)
- WAS LUKE INSPIRED BY GOD TO SAY THAT JESUS WAS THE SON OF JOSEPH?
Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about (“about” the Holy Ghost did not know for sure) thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, the son of Heli. — Luke 3:23, NKJV
The words “(as was supposed)” appearing in brackets are not in the original Greek manuscript of Luke! These words are a gloss of the translators.
In the different vernacular languages of the world, like Arabic, Afrikaans, Zulu, etc. the words “as was supposed” are retained in the translations but the brackets are removed. Thus by removing the brackets the words become the declaration of Luke, and if Luke was inspired then the words are transmuted into an utterance of God. This is how easily the word of man is transformed into the word of God in Christianity. - JESUS, TOO SELF-CONSIDERATE: A woman came to Him having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table. But when His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? For this fragrant oil might have been sold for much and given to the poor.” But when Jesus was aware of it, He said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me. For you have the poor with you always, but Me you do not have always. — Matthew 26:7-11, NKJV
JESUS A “GOD”
- POWERLESS: I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me. I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me. — John 5:30, NKJV
- HE HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE HEREAFTER: But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. — Mark 13:32, NKJV
- HE WAS IGNORANT OF THE SEASONS: And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. — Mark 11:13, NKJV
- JESUS AS A THIRSTY “GOD” After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst!” — John 19:28, NKJV
- JESUS AS A WEEPING “GOD” Jesus wept. — John 11:35, NKJV
- IMAGINE A “GOD” BEING TEMPTED BY THE DEVIL: And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to Him. — Mark 1:13, NKJV
JESUS (A RACIST) Only came for the Jews
- These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel (to the Jews only). — Matthew 10:5-6, NKJV
- He (Jesus) answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel (the Jews only).” The woman (the Canaanite woman) came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me! (to cure my daughter)” she said. He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs (the non-Jews).” — Matthew 15:24-26, NKJV
JESUS (SUNDRY TIT-BITS)
- JESUS’ SECOND COMING, NEVER MATERIALIZED:
When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man (as referring to himself) comes. — Matthew 10:23, NKJV
The disciples of Jesus fled and they fled, and have now perished for two thousand years, with no sign of the return of Jesus. - JESUS SPOKE IN PARABLES TO DECEIVE THE UNINITIATED:
And He said to them, “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables, so that ‘Seeing they may see and not perceive, And hearing they may hear and not understand; Lest they should turn, And their sins be forgiven them.’ — Mark 4:11-12, NKJV - HATE AS FOUNDATION OF HIS (JESUS’) FAITH:
“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. — Luke 14:26, NKJV - PETER CONTRADICTS JESUS REGARDING HIMSELF AS “THE ONLY WAY:”
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. — John 14:6, NKJV
Contradicted by:
Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. But in every nation whoever fears Him (God) and works righteousness is accepted by Him (God)”. — Acts 10:34-35, NKJV
JEWS
- REBELLIOUS PEOPLE: You have been rebellious against the Lord from the day that I knew you. — Deuteronomy 9:24, NKJV
- STIFF NECKED PEOPLE: For I know your rebellion and your stiff neck. If today, while I am yet alive with you, you have been rebellious against the Lord, then how much more after my death? — Deuteronomy 31:27, NKJV
- SECOND BONDAGE IN EGYPT: “And the Lord will take you (the Jews) back to Egypt in ships, by the way of which I said to you, ‘You (Jews) shall never see it again.’ And there you shall be offered for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you.” — Deuteronomy 28:68, NKJV
- For the sacrifices of My offerings they sacrifice flesh and eat it, But the Lord does not accept them. Now He (the Lord) will remember their (the Jews) iniquity and punish their (the Jews) sins. They shall return to Egypt (for a second bondage). — Hosea 8:13, NKJV
- THE JEWS TO BE SUBSTITUTED: “Therefore I (Jesus) say to you (Jews), the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it. — Matthew 21:43, NKJV
KETURAH The third wife of Abraham
Abraham again took a wife, and her name was Keturah. — Genesis 25:1, NKJV
Now the sons born to Keturah, Abraham’s concubine, were Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. The sons of Jokshan were Sheba and Dedan. — 1 Chronicles 1:32, NKJV (Keturah being the WIFE of Abraham or the CONCUBINE of Abraham is an extra contradiction in the Bible)
MASSACRE At the hands of the Jews
- Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman (female) who has known a man intimately (having sex). But keep alive for yourselves all the young girls who have not known a man intimately (virgins). — Numbers 31:17-18, NKJV
- And thirty-two thousand persons in all, of women who had not known a man intimately (virgins). —Numbers 31:35, NKJV
- The persons were sixteen thousand, of which the Lord’s tribute was thirty-two persons. — Numbers 31:40, NKJV
(The Jews salvaged for themselves 32,000 virgins, The Jews salvaged for themselves 16,000 virgins) - “But of the cities of these peoples which the Lord your God gives you as an inheritance, you (O Jews) shall let nothing that breathes remain alive. — Deuteronomy 20:16, NKJV

(Even donkeys were not spared!) - On that day Joshua took Makkedah, and struck it and its king with the edge of the sword. He utterly destroyed them—all the people who were in it. He let none remain. He also did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho. — Joshua 10:28, NKJV
(Joshua let none remain alive)
MELCHISEDEK This High Priest of Salem has qualities which outshines even Jesus Christ
Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually. — Hebrews 7:3, NKJV
(These attributes only befit God!)
MESSIAH Translated “Christ”
Messiah is a very common noun in Hebrew. Translated into Greek it became “Christos”, which in plain English means ANOINTED! Every where the word “anointed” appears in the English translation of the Bible (any Version) that word in the Hebrew original is invariably the word “MESSIAH”! Here are a few ready examples:
- I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed (messiah) the pillar (Christ Pillar!) and where you made a vow to Me. Now arise, get out of this land, and return to the land of your family. — Genesis 31:13, NKJV
- Also Moses took the anointing (messiah) oil, and anointed (messiah) the tabernacle (Christ Oil! and Christ Tabernacle!) and all that was in it, and consecrated them. Leviticus — 8:10, NKJV
- The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken in pieces; From heaven He will thunder against them. The Lord will judge the ends of the earth. “He will (the Lord) give strength to His king, And exalt the horn of His anointed (messiah).” (Christ Horn!) — 1 Samuel 2:10, NKJV
- “You were the anointed (messiah) cherub (Christ Cherub!) who covers; I established you; You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones. — Ezekiel 28:14, NKJV

(God addresses even a pagan king as His Messiah!)
MUHAMMAD
- IS A TRUE PROPHET OF GOD ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE: By this you know the Spirit (meaning every prophet) of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God. — 1 John 4:2, NKJV
MUHAMMAD MENTIONED BY NAME IN THE BIBLE: His mouth is most sweet, Yes, he is (Muhammad-im) altogether lovely. This is my beloved, And this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem! — Song of Solomon 5:16, NKJV
(From the original Hebrew manuscript the word “MUHAMMADIM”, is translated as “altogether lovely” which is actually the word MUHAMMAD with “im” added. “IM” is the plural of respect in the Hebrew language.) - MUHAMMAD A “COMFORTER” LIKE JESUS, PEACE BE UPON THEM: And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever. — John 14:16, NKJV
(Jesus was the first Comforter, and ANOTHER would have to be one like him, of the same kind as Jesus, a man and not a Ghost.)
ONANISM The withdrawal of the penis from the vagina before ejaculation
And Judah said to Er’s (deceased) brother Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife and marry her (have sex), and raise up an heir to your brother.” But Onan knew that the heir would not be his (i.e. would not carry his name); and it came to pass, when he went in to his brother’s wife (Tamar), that he emitted on the ground, lest he should give an heir (no name) to his brother. — Genesis 38:8-9, NKJV
PAUL On his own admittance being cunning, used deceit
But be that as it may, I did not burden you. Nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you by cunning! — 2 Corinthians 12:16, NKJV
POLYGAMY Solomon the wise had a thousand wives and concubines:
- And he (Solomon) had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart(towards other gods). — 1 Kings 11:3, NKJV
- Abraham the friend of God had more than one wife; and so had Israel (Jacob) and David the king.
(There is not a single word of reproach in the “Book of God”, the Holy Bible, against polygamous marriages)
PROPHECIES Empty Threats
- But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you (O Adam) eat of it you shall surely die.” — Genesis 2:17, NKJV
Contradicted by: - So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died. — Genesis 5:5, NKJV
(Amazing! In the language of God “In the day” does not mean “that very day” but centuries later. According to the Holy Bible the devil was more truthful about the consequence of eating the “forbidden fruit,” he had assured Eve.) - Then the serpent (the devil) said to the woman, “You will not surely die.” — Genesis 3:4, NKJV
PROPHETS (BUT NAKED) If such are the priests, God bless the congregation
- Then he (Noah) drank of the wine and was drunk, and became uncovered (naked) in his tent. — Genesis 9:21, NKJV
- And he (Saul) also stripped off his clothes and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?” — 1 Samuel 19:24, NKJV
- Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, “How glorious was the king of Israel (David) today, uncovering himself today in the eyes of the maids of his servants, as one of the base fellows shamelessly uncovers (becomes naked) himself!” — 2 Samuel 6:20, NKJV
- Then the Lord said, “Just as My servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder against Egypt and Ethiopia, so shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians as prisoners and the Ethiopians as captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt. — Isaiah 20:3-4, NKJV
RAPE
- Brother rapes and commits incest with his sister: However, he (Amnon, one of the sons of David) would not heed her(his sister Tamar’s) voice; and being stronger than she, he forced (raped) her and lay (had sex) with her. — 2 Samuel 13:14, NKJV
- Son commits incest and rapes his mothers wholesale! So they pitched a tent for Absalom (another of the sons of David) on the top of the house, and Absalom went in (had intercourse) to his father’s concubines (same as “wives”) in the sight of all Israel. — 2 Samuel 16:22, NKJV
SABBATH Sabbath as a standing insult to God in the Bible
It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed. — Exodus 31:17, NKJV
SARAH The Holy Bible does not even spare God from illicit sexual aspersions being ascribed to Him:
In the case of the conception of Jesus Christ, God Almighty arranged for Mary to conceive Jesus by the intervention of the Holy Ghost, as witnessed in the Bible:
- And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you (the question is, how?), and the power of the Highest will overshadow you (again, how?); therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. — Luke 1:35, NKJV
(Whereas in the case of Isaac, his conception took place in the womb of Sarah by the direct intervention of God himself, as recorded in His Holy Book) - And the Lord visited Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as He had spoken. For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. — Genesis 21:1-2, NJKV
SLAVERY Sanctioned by God
And you may take them (the slaves) as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them (the slaves) as a possession; they shall be your permanent slaves. But regarding your brethren, the children of Israel, you shall not rule over one another with rigor. — Leviticus 25:46, NKJV
SODOMY The Bible’s reason why human beings become lesbians and homosexuals
Who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature (like men and monkeys) rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason (worshiping men and monkeys) God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature (like lesbianism and bestiality). Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another (as sodomites and homosexuals), men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. — Romans 1:25-27, NKJV
SONS OF GOD The Bible ascribes sons by the tons to God.
- The son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God. — Luke 3:38, NKJV
- That the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. — Genesis 6:2, NKJV

- “I will declare the decree: Lord has said to Me, ‘You (O David) are My Son, Today I (God) have begotten You. — Psalms 2:7, NKJV
- For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. — Romans 8:14, NKJV
SWINE
- The flesh of the swine forbidden: Their flesh (of the swine) you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch. They are unclean to you. — Leviticus 11:8, NKJV
- Jesus destroyed 2,000 pigs to heal one man: And at once Jesus gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits (the devils) went out and entered the swine (there were about two thousand); and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and drowned in the sea. — Mark 5:13, NKJV
WOMEN Forbidden to open their mouths in the Church
Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says. And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church. — 1 Corinthians 14:34-35, NKJV
