INTRODUCTION
Back to contents
The Christian religion is not the only one that is
based on the Bible, there are others as well, such
as the Jewish religion. The reason, why we have only
discussed Christianity (and omitted Judaism, etc.)
in the thirteenth Chapter is that now-a-days it takes
the first place among all religions founded on the
Bible whilst the Jewish religion and the like are
left in the background hence it may be understood
that our criticism on the Bible will equally hold
good in the case of Judaism, etc., the allied religions
which are of secondary importance compared with Christianity
which is of primary importance.
Our
criticism is only directed against the Bible which
is believed in by the Christians and Jews alike and
upon which their respective religions are founded.
There are many Bhasha and Sanskrit translations of
the Bible by well-known Missionaries. The perusal
of these has given rise to many doubts in our mind.
Some of them we have set forth in this chapter for
the consideration of all (thinking people). Our sole
aim in writing this chapter is to further the cause
of truth and eradicate error, and not to injure the
feelings of others or do them harm or bring false
charges against them
After
going through this chapter all our readers will know
what kind of book (the Bible) is, and what doctrines
it teaches. It (the discussion of Christianity in
this chapter) will also make it easy for all men to
examine the tenets of Christianity and make a comparative
study of it. It will further augment the knowledge
of men concerning religion and herby make it easy
for them to discriminate between right and wrong,
between desirable conduct and undesirable conduct;
and to embrace truth and practice virtue, to reject
error and shun vice. It behoves all men to carefully
study the (sacred) books of all religions before
PAGE
588
they
publish their opinions for or against them. If a person
be illiterate, he could hear them being read because
just as a man by reading becomes a scholar, likewise
by hearing others read he can become what is called
bahustruta (one who has heard much). Though
the latter may not be able to explain anything to
others, yet he can understand it himself. Those who
are jaundiced can neither see their own merits and
demerits nor those of others. The soul of man possesses
the capacity for ascertaining truth. A man can decide
whether what he has heard or read is right or wrong.
No
subject can be mutually discussed if both parties
are not well-acquainted with (the teachings of) each
other's religions. The ignorant are very apt to fall
into an abyss of superstition and error. It is in
order to save them from such a fate that we have firefly
discussed all the prevalent religions. The truth or
error of other subjects (that have been discussed
in this book) can be inferred. All that is true and
(therefore) worthy of acceptance to all is alike in
all religions. Differences arise over doctrines which
are false or even when one party (in a discussion)
is right, while the other wrong, but should both parties
discuss a subject with the sole desire of ascertaining
truth they can succeed in it.
Now
we place our criticism of Christianity in the thirteenth
chapter before all (our readers). They can form their
own opinions about it.
We
hope these few words will suffice to the seekers
of truth.
PAGE
589
Now
we shall discuss the Christian religion in order to
make it clear to all whether this religion is free
from faults and its sacred book called the Bible is
the Word of God or not. We shall first deal with the
Old Testament.
GENESIS

1. "In the beginning God created the heaven and the
earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and
darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit
of God moved upon the face of the waters. (1:1, 2.)
C.*
~ What do you call the beginning?>
Christian.
~ The first creation of the world.
C.
~ Is this the first creation? Was the world never
created before?
Ch.
~ We do not know whether it was created before or
not. God alone knows that.
C.
~ When you do not know that, why should you believe
in this book (i.e., the Bible) which cannot enlighten
you on these points and pinning your faith to it,
preach it to others and thereby ensnare them into
this religion which is do full of doubts. Why don't
you embrace the Vedic religion which is free
from all doubts and enlightens one on all points.
When you do not understand the world created by God
- His handiwork, hoe can you then know God?
C.
~ What do you understand by the term heaven?
Ch.
~ The empty space and what is above.
C.
~ How was this empty space created? Besides, it is
all-pervading and very subtle and uniform both above
and below.
*In this chapter as well as
in the next stands for the author. _Tr.

C.
Did space exist or not before the heaven was created?
If it did not, wherein did God, the cause of the universe,
and the souls live? Nothing can exist without space,
but your Bible says that it was created, hence this
statement can never be true. Is God inharmonious?
Do His knowledge and works lack harmony, or is He
as well as His knowledge and works harmonious?
Ch.
~ Harmonious.
C.
~ Why is it then recorded here that the earth created
by God was misshapen or without form?
Ch.
~ The term without form means uneven, i.e., the earth
was not then even.
C.
~ Who mad it even then? Is it not even now uneven?
God's work can never lack harmony or be ill-shapen
(without form). He being All-knowing, His works are
always free from error or faults but the Bible teaches
that the earth created by God was without form, hence
this books can never be the work of God. First tell
us pray what you think the Spirit of God is.
Ch.
~ He is a Conscious Being.
C.
~ Is he Formless or embodied, All-pervading or localized?
Ch.
~ He is Formless, Conscious and All-pervading but,
He is more particularly present in such places as
the Mount Sinai and fourth heaven.
C.
~ If He be formless who could have then seen Him?
What is All-pervading could not move on the face of
waters? It only (goes to) show, that His body must
have been in some other place or He must have let
a piece of His Spirit move 'on the face of the waters',
but in that case He could never be All-pervading and
All-knowing and consequently could not create, sustain
and support the world, reduce it to its elementary
condition, nor could He award the souls just reward
or punishment for their deeds -good or bad-, because
one who is localized or circumscribed by nature must
have his powers and actions also limited.
Such
being the case He can never be God but He has been
described in the Vedas, as All-pervading, possessed
of Infinite nature, attributes, and powers, Truly
Conscious and All-Blissful, Eternal, Holy, All-wise
and Free by nature, Beginningless and Endless, and
so on. Faith in such a God alone will save you.

"And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And God saw the light that it was good and God divided
the light from the darkness." (1:3,4)
C.
~ Was the dead inert light able to hear what God said?
If so, why cannot the sun, the lamp and the light
of fire hear us. The light is dead and inert and therefore
cannot hear anyone. Did God only, after he had seen
the light, know that the light was good? It appears
that He did not know it beforehand he could not have
been God. Hence the Bible is not the Word of God,
nor is God mentioned in it an Omniscient Being.
3.
"And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst
of the waters. And God made the firmament, from the
waters which were above the firmament: and it was
so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening
and the morning were the second day." (1:6, 7, 8.)
C.
~ Did the firmament and the waters also hear what
God said? Had there been no akasha* in water,
where would it have existed. The creation of the heaven
is mentioned in the first verse (of Genesis), it was
useless the to create it again. If akasha be
the Heaven it would also be everywhere. It is useless
then to say that the heaven is situated somewhere
above. How could there be the morning and the evening
when the sun had not yet been created? The succeeding
verses also treat of such impossible things.
4.
"And God said, Let us make man in our own image, after
our likeness: so God created man in his own image,
in the image of God created He him; make and female
created He them. And God blessed them. (1:26, 27,
28.)
C.
~ If God made man in his own image, why is not man
then All-holy, All-knowledge and All-bliss, etc.,
like God in nature?
*The word firmament is translated
into Akasha in the Sanskrit and Bhasha versions of the
Bible. Now akdasha is held by Sanskrit philosophers
to be an All-pervading subtle ether-like substance which
fills all things in the universe, hence this objection.
-Tr.
PAGE
592
This
shows that man was not made in the image of God. Now
man was created, and being in the image of God and
after His likeness it follows as a natural consequences
that His nature is also creatable hence he cannot
be eternal. Besides, what did He create the man out
of?
Ch.
- Out of the dust (of the ground).
C.
~ What did he create the dust out of?
Ch.
- Out of his power
C.
~ Is his power beginningless or has it a beginning?
Ch.-
It is beginningless.
C.
~ It is clear that His power being beginningless,
the cause of the (material) world is also beginningless.
Why do you, then, believe that something came out
of nothing?
Ch.
- Nothing but God existed before the beginning of
creation.
C.
~ Where did this world come from ?
Is the power of God a substance or an attribute? If
it be a substance, there was then something besides
God (before the creation of the world). On the other
hand, if it be an attribute, as not substance can
come out of an attribute (the world could not have
been produced out of it), as for instance, fire cannot
proceed from light nor water from fluidity. Had God
been the Material cause of the World, the latter would
have possessed all the attributes, nature, and characteristics
of God but such being not the case, it is certain
that it was not produced out of God but out of the
Material cause, the primordial matter in atomic condition.
If
behoves you therefore to believe that God is the Efficient
Cause of the Universe as is recorded in the Vedas
and other true Shaastras. If, as held by the
Christians, Adam's inward nature be that of the soul
and his outward (appearance) that of man, why is not
God's nature the same, because since Adam was made
in the image of God the latter must necessarily be
like Adam.
5."And
the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;
and man because a living soul. And the Lord God planted
a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man
whom he had formed. And out of the ground the Lord
God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the
sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in
the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge
of good and evil." (2:7 - 9.)
PAGE
593
C.
~ When God planted the garden at Eden and placed Adam
therein did not He know then that he would have to
turn him out of it?
Since
God formed Adam of the dust of the ground, he was
not made in the image of God, otherwise, God also
must have been made of the dust. When God breathed
into his nostrils the breath of life, was that breath
God Himself or something else? If it was something
different, man was not made in the image of God, but
if it was so Adam and God are alike and being alike
God also like man becomes subject to birth and death,
growth and decay, hunger and thirst. how can then
such a being be called God? For this reason this statement
recorded in the Old Testament does not appear to be
right, nor can therefore, this book be the Word of
God.
6.
"And the Lord God cause a deep sleep to fall upon
Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and
closed up the flesh instead thereof: and the rib,
which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman,
and brought her unto the man." (2:21, 22.)
C.
~ When God made man out of dust, why did He not make
his wife out of the same material? If He made his
wife out of a bone, why did He not make him as well
out of the same. Now if woman was named so because
she was taken out of a man,* the word man should also
have been derived from the word Woman as he is born
of woman. They should also love each other.
A
wife should love her husband as a man loves his wife.
Mark ye scholars! How wonderfully shines the beautiful
philosophy of the (Biblical God)! If Woman was made
of one rib taken out of Man, why are not all men short
of one rib? Besides there ought to be only one rib
in the body of a woman as he was made out of one rib.
Could not God have made Woman of the same material
as He had used in the creation of the Universe? It
is clear, therefore, that the teachings of the Bible
on the subject of creation are opposed to the Laws
of Nature.
7.
"Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the
field which the Lord God had made. And He said unto
the woman, Yea hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every
tree of the garden? And the woman said into the serpent,
We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
but the fruit of the tree which is in the
*Vide verses 23 and 24 Chapter
2. "She shall be called Woman because she was taken
out of man. Therefore shall a man cleave into his wife."
-Tr.
PAGE
594
midst
of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of
it, neither shall ye touch it, least ye die. And the
serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not die: for
God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then
surely your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be
as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman
saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was
pleasant to the eyes, and, a tree be desired to make
one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat,
and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did
eat."
"And
the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that
they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together,
and made themselves aprons. And the Lord God said
unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou
art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast
of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust
shalt thou eat all the days fo thy life: and I will
put enmity between thee and the woman, and between
thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and
thou shalt bruise his heel. Unto the woman he said,
I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception;
in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children and thy
desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule
over thee. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast
hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten
of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou
shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground For thy
sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days
of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring
forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the
field." (3: 1 - 7, 14 - 18.)
C.
~ Had the God of the Christians been an Omniscient
Being, why would He have created this 'Subtle serpent
or Satan? But as he did create him, He alone is responsible
for all the evil deeds done by Satan for had He not
created him evil (by nature) he would not have done
evil deeds. The Christian God does not believe in
the previous existence of the soul, why did He then
create him wicked without any fault on his part? To
tell the truth he was not a serpent but a man, otherwise
how could he have been able to speak the human tongue?
Besides,
it is he who tells lies and directs others to do the
same, that should be called Satan but in this case
he (Satan) spoke the truth and, therefore, did not
mislead the woman (Eve) but told her what was true.
On the other hand God told Adam and Eve a lie when
he said that by eating of the tree of knowledge of
good and evil he would surely die. Since those trees
were such as gave life perpetual and the knowledge
of good and evil to those who ate the fruits thereof,
why did God forbid them
PAGE
595
their
use, but as He did it He stands guilty of having told
a lie and misled them, as the fruit of those trees
bestowed life and knowledge upon men, not death and
ignorance. Moreover why did God create those trees
and forbid their use for men? If He created them for
His own use, was He ignorant and mortal, then, that
He needed them? But if He did for others there could
possibly be no sin (for them) in eating their fruits.
Besides
such trees as give life and knowledge to those who
eat the fruit thereof, are nowhere to be seen nowadays.
Has God destroyed even their seeds? If a man behaves
like this he is called the same since he alone who
cheats others and practices hypocrisy deserves to
be called a cheat and a hypocrite.
Again
since God cursed them all, He stands guilty of having
perpetrated injustice. It is God Who ought to have
been cursed because He told a lie and He beguiled
Adam and Eve. Could it have ever be3n possible for
a woman to conceive and bear children without pain
and 'sorrow'. What a fine philosophy! Could anyone
earn his living without working for it? Were there
no thorns and thistles before?
Since
it is right for man to live on herbs and vegetables
according to the commandment of God, why is it not
wrong to sanction flesh diet which has been done later
on in the Bible? One of the two statements must be
wrong. Since no charge of sinful conduct has been
brought home to Adam, why should the Christians call
all men by virtue of being the descendants of Adam
sinners? Can such a book (as the Bible) and such a
God command any respect in the eyes of wise men?
8.
"And the Lord God said, behold, the man is become
as one of us, to know good and evil: and no2w, lest
he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of
life, and eat and live for ever: So he drove out the
man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden
cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every
way, to keep the way of the tree of life." (3: 22,
24.)
C.
~ Why did God become so jealous of Adam's becoming
His equal iin knowledge, and was it such a bad thing
indeed? Why did He entertain such misgivings at all
since no one can ever become God's equal? This also
shows that he was not God but man. Wherever there
is mention of God in the Bible it is related of Him
as if He was a man. Now mark! How miserable Adam's
progress
PAGE
596
in
knowledge made God! How jealous He was of Adam's eating
the fruit of the tree of life.
When
he first placed Adam and Eve in the garden (of Eden),
he was not aware that he would have to turn them out
of it. It follows, therefore, that the God of the
Christians is not Omniscient. That he had to place
a flaming sword to guard the tree of life clearly
shows that this was also the work of a man not of
God.
9.
"And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain
brought of the fruit of the ground and offering unto
the Lord. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings
of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord
had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto
Cain and to his offering he had no respect. And Cain
was very wroth, and his countenance fell. And the
Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth and why is
the countenance fallen." (4: 3,4.)
C.
~ If God was not a flesh eater why did he respect
Abel and accept his offering of sheep and did not
respect Cain and accept his offering? God is really
responsible for this quarrel between the tow brothers
and for the death of Abel. The Christian God here
(in these verses) talks like a man. His planting of
the garden (of Eden), coming into it and going out
of it are quite like the doings of man. This shows
that the Bible is the work of man, not of God.
10.
"And the Lord said unto Cain, where is Abel thy brother?
And he said, I know not: am I my brother's keeper?
And he said, What has thou done? The voice of thy
brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. And
now art thou cursed from the earth." (4:9 - 11.)
C.
~ Could not God known about Abel's death without inquiring
from Cain? Can the voice of blood ever cry unto anyone
from the ground? All these things are like the doings
of the ignorant. This book could not, therefore, have
been made by go or even by a learned man.
11.
"And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah
three hundred years." (5:22)
C.
~ Had not the Christian God been a man how would Enoch
have been able to walk* with Him? It behoves Christians,
*It is greatly to be regretted
that those who translate the Bible into the Indian Vernaculars
were so literal in translating this sentence as to lead
our author to think that Methuselah actually walked
about with God. Hence this criticism. Tr.
PAGE
597
therefore,
to accept the formless Supreme Spirit of the Vedaas
as their God. Their true happiness lies in this alone.
12.
"And daughters were born unto them. That the sons
of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair;
and they took them wives of all which they chose.
There were giants in the earth in those days; and
also after that, when the sons of God came in unto
the daughters of men, and they bore children to them,
the same became mighty men which were of old, men
of renown. And God saw that the wickedness of man
was great in the earth, and that every imagination
of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the
earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the Lord
said, I will destroy man whom I have created from
the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the
creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repented
me that I have made them." (6:1-7.)
C.
~ Will the Christians tell us who are the sons of
God and who are his wife, mother-in-law, father-in-law,
brother-in-law and other relations? His sons having
been married to the daughters of men God becomes related
to them and the children born of those marriages are
His grandchildren. Can such things be true of God?
Can they find place in His book? It appears that the
authors of the Bible were savages who had not the
least idea of the true God. He that is not Omniscient
nor knows the future is not God but human being. Did
He before He created the world know that men would
turn wicked?
The
feelings of grief and repentance after dong something
wrong through error of judgment can be attributed
only to the Christian God since He is neither well-versed
in learning nor a yogi with perfect control over his
passions and feelings or He would have overcome His
great grief and sorrow with the aid of mental equilibrium
and wisdom.
Had
even birds and animals become wicked, that He wanted
to destroy them all? Surely He is not an All-knowing
God, else He would not have been so destitute of sense.
It is clear that neither he is God nor is the Bible
the Word of God. Had the Christians believed and were
they even now to believe in the Vedic God Who is free
from all sin, pain, grief and sorrow, etc., and is
the
PAGE
598
embodiment
of al existence, consciousness and bliss, they would
have realized and will even now realize the true aim
of human life.
13.
"The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits,
the breadth if it fifty cubits, and the height of
it thirty cubits and thou shalt come into the ark,
thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives
with tee. And of every living thing of all flesh,
tow of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to
keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and
female. Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after
their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after
his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee,
to keep them alive. And take thou unto thee of all
food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee;
and it shall be for food for thee, and for them. Thus
did Noah, according to all that God commanded him,
do did he." (6:15, 18, 19 - 22).
C.
~ Now can any enlightened mane ever believe a being,
who uttered such impossible thins which are opposed
to the dictum of knowledge, to be God? "How" could
any ark of the said dimensions contain (male and female)
elephants, camels and millions of other living things,
and all the different kinds of foods and drinks that
they as well as the whole family of Noah would need?
This book is, therefore, a human work. Whoever wrote
it was not a learned man either.
14.
"And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord: and took
of ever clean, beast, and of every clean fowl, and
offered burnt offerings on the altar. And the Lord
smelled a sweet savor; and the Lord said in his heart,
I will not again curse the ground any more for man's
sake; for imaginations of man's heart is evil from
his youth; neither will I again smile anymore everything
living, as I have done. While the earth remaineth,
seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer
and winter, and day and night shall not cease." (8:20
- 22.)
C.
~ The mention of the building of an altar and the
offering of burnt offerings on the altar shows that
there things have been borrowed by the Bible from
the Vedas. Hs God even got a nose wherewith he "smell
a sweet savor'? is not the God of the Christians so
like a man in the finiteness of His powers, knowledge
and capacity that sometime He curses, then he repents
of it, again he says he will not curse the ground
any more. He has cursed before, and he will curse
again. First He destroyed all living
PAGE
599
creatures,
now he says, he will never do so again. All these
things are like the doings of children not of God
nor even of an educated man for even he is true to
word and keeps his pledges.
"And
God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them,
Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you;
even as the maroon herb have I given you all things.
But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood
thereof, shall ye not eat." (9: 1- 4.)
C.
~ Is not the God of the Christians destitute of mercy,
since he helps some to enjoy at the expense of the
lives of others? Are not the parents, who cause one
of their children to be killed in order to feed the
other, considered most sinful? The same is true on
this case since all living creatures are like children
to God. The Christian God (in their case) is more
like a butcher. It is this that has made men so hare-hearted
and cruel towards other sentient creatures. Why is
not the Christian God sinful since he is destitute
of tenderness of feelings.
16.
"And the whole earth was of one language, and of one
speech,. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city
and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and
let us make us a name,, lest we be scattered abroad
upon the face of the whole earth. And the Lord came
down to see the city and the tower, which the children
of men built. And Lord said, Behold, the people is
one, and they have all one language; and this they
begin to do; and now nothing will be restrained from
them, which they have imagined to do. God to, let
is go down, and there confound their language, that
they may not understand one another's speech. So the
Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face
of all the earth: and they left off to build the city."
(11:1, 4 - 8.)
C.
~ all men must indeed have been very happy when the
whole world had one language, but what shall we say
of this jealous God of the Christians who confounded
their speech and destroyed the happiness of all. He
did as most criminal thing. It is not worse than anything
that Satan has ever done. Did not he even beat Satan
in this? Thais also shows that the God of the Christians
lived on the top of some mountain as Sinai and was
not wishful of their welfare. Let alone God, even
an enlightened man would not do such a thing. How
can then such a book be the Word of God?

thou art a fair woman to look upon: Therefore it shall
come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that
they shall say, This is his wife; and they will kill
me, but they save thee alive. Say, thy sake; and my
soul shall live because of thee." (12: 11 - 13.)
C.
~ Now reader mark! This Abraham, who is looked upon
as a great prophet both by the Christians and the
Mohammedans alike, tells lies and does such other
wicked deeds. How can such people find the way to
true happiness and knowledge whose prophets were men
of such a low character?
18.
"And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant
therefore thou, and thy seed, after thee in their
generations. This is my covenant, which ye shall keep,
between me and you and they seed after thee; Every
man child among you shall be circumcise. And ye ahall
circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall
be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. And
he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among
you, every man child in you generations, he that is
born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger,
which is not of thy seed. He that is born in thy house,
and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be
circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh
for an everlasting covenant. And he uncircumcised,
that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath
broken my covenant." (17:9 - 14.)
C.
~ Now look and at the most unnatural command of God.
Had He approved of circumcision, He would not have
made the foreskin at all in the beginning of creation.
It serves to protect the (delicate structure) beneath
just as the eyelids protect the eye-ball. This structure
is so extremely delicate that the bite of an ant,
or the most insignificant hurt will cause great deal
of pain if there were no foreskin. It also serves,
to prevent the soiling of clothes after micturition.
These are few of its uses. Hence it is wrong to circumcise
it. Why don’t' the Christians obey this commandment
now? This was an everlasting and not a temporary covenant.
Besides, Christ's testimony as to the truth of the
Law in the words "one jot or one title shall in no
wise pass from the law" will turn out to be false.

The
Christians should seriously think about this matter,
and give this question their whole attention.

"And he left off talking with him, and God went up
from Abraham." (27: 22.)
C.
~ This shows that this God was either a man or a bird
that went up and down. He seems to be more like a
juggler.
20.
"And the Lord, appeared unto him in the plains of
Mamre and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the
day. And he lift up his eyes and looked and , lo,
three men stood by him; and when he saw them, he ran
to meet them form the tent door, and bowed himself
towards the ground. And said, My Lord, if now I have
found favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee,
from thy servant . let a little water I pray you,
be fetched, and washed your feet, and rest yourselves
under the tree. And I will fetch a morsel of bread,
and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass
on; for therefore are ye come to your servant. And
they said, so do, as thou hast said., Make ready quickly
there measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes
upon the hearth. And Abraham ran unto the herd, and
fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a
young man and hasted to dress it. And he took butter
and mild, and he calf which he had dressed, and set
it before them; and he stood by them under the tree,
and they did eat." (18:2 - 8.)
C.
~ Now why should they, whose God eats calf's flesh,
spare cows, calves and other animals? He that has
no compassion (on dumb animals) an enjoys flesh eating
cannot be God. He an only be a man who feels no scruples
in injuring other sentient creatures for his gratification.
We are not told who the other two men (besides God)
were. It appears that there was a party of savages
whose leader is is styled God in the Bible. It is
such things ( as flesh-eating, etc.) that prevent
wise men from accepting this book as the word of God
and its God as the true God.
21.
"And the Lord said unto Abraham, wherefore did Sarah
laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which
am old? Is anything too hard for the Lord?" (18:13,
14.)
C.
~ Now look at this God of the Christians! How like
women and children He is (so easily) vexed and how
He taunt Sarah.

22.
"Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah
brimstone and fire from the Lord out of Heaven. And
he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and
all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which
grew upon the ground." (19:24, 25.)
C.
~ Now look at this Biblical God! He is so destitute
of mercy that he did not take any pity even on the
children and the like. Were they all so wicked that
He overthrew cities and buried them all underneath.
Such a thing is opposed to justice, mercy and reason.
Why should not they, whose God is guilty of such things,
do likewise?
23.
"Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will
lied with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
And they made their father drink wine that night:
and the first born went in, and lay with her father;
let us make him drink wine this night also; and go
thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed
of our father. Thus were both daughters of Lot with
child by their father." (19:32 - 34, 36.0
C.
~ The vices of the Christians and others who are addicted
to drink - the wicked drink that has degraded men
and women so much that even a father and his daughters
have not escaped from being guilty of misconducting
themselves with each other - know no bounds. Good
people, therefore, should not even think of drinking
wine.
24.
"And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the
Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken. For Sarah conceived.'
(21: 1, 2,.)
C.
~ Now let the reader judge what kind of thing this
was. God visited Sarah and the result of this visit
was that she conceived. Could there be anyone else
besides God and Sarah who was the cause of her conception?
It seems that Sarah conceived through the grace of
God!!!
25.
"And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took
bread and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Haggar,
putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent
her away….and she departed ….and she cast the child
under one of the shrubs…… and she sat over against
him, and lift up her voice, and wept. And God heard
the voice of the lad." 21: 14- 17.)
C.
~ Now (gentle reader!) Look at the crooked doings
of this Christian God! First he unjustly sided with
Sarah (vide 21:12)
PAGE
603
and
had Haggar driven out of the house. Then it is Haggar
that lifted up her voice and wept whilst it was the
lad's voice that God heard. How wonderful! Is not
it? Can such a being ever be God! Can such a thing
ever be found in the word of God? Excepting a few
(ordinary) truths that could have been written by
a man of ordinary intelligence, the whole book abounds
n absurdities.
26.
"And it came to pass after these things, that God
did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Take now thy
son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest,, and
get into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for
a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I
will tell thee of…….and bound Isaac his son, and laid
him on the altar upon the wood. And Abraham stretched
forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of the
heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: lay not thine
hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto
him; for now I know that thou fearest God." (22:1,
2.)
C.
~ Now it is quite clear that the Biblical God possesses
finite knowledge and that He is not Omniscient. Abraham
too was simpleton, else he would not have acted in
the way he did. Had the Biblical God been an Omniscient
Being, He would have been able to find out all about
the firmness of Abraham's faith through His Omniscience.
It is certain then that the God of the Christians
is not an All-knowing God.
27.
"In the choice of our sepulchers bury thy dead…..
but that thou mayest bury the dead." (23:6.)
C.
~ The burial of the dead is highly injurious to the
(health of the inhabitants of the ) world, because
decomposition of dead bodies sets in the pollutes
the air which in its turn gives rise to disease.
Christian.
- It is not good to cremate those whom we love, while
the burial of the dead is like laying them down to
sleep; hence this mode of the disposal of the dead
is good.
C.
~ If you love your dead, why don't you keep them in
the house? Why do you even bury them? The soul you
love leaves the body after death, what is the good
of loving the dead decomposing body? But since you
love it, why do you bury it under the ground? It pleases
no one to be addressed "Let us bury your
PAGE
604
under
the ground." Besides, how can it be and act of love
on your part to throw earth, bricks, stones, lime,
etc. on his eyes, mouth chest and other parts of the
body? If the dead body be place in a coffin before
it is buried, foul smell issues forth from the ground.
Ti then pollutes the air which int run gives rise
to terrible diseases. Again, a piece measuring at
least 3 yards long, and 2 yards broad is required
for burying one dead body. At this rate one can imagine
how much ground is required for the burial of hundreds
of thousands of dead bodies and rendered useless.
That ground can neither be tilled, nor used for gardening,
nor can it be fit for human habitation. Hence burial
is the worst of all methods in vogue for the disposal
of the dead.
A
little better than this is to throw the dead body
into (flowing) water, because crocodiles and other
creatures living in water soon tear it into pieces
and at it up, but still the bones and other matter
that will remain behind will decompose and pollute
the water and air and thereby injure the (health of
the inhabitants of the0 world. A little less injurious
method (of disposing of the dead) is to leave the
body in a jungle. Carnivorous animals and birds will
devour it but sill the extent to which the marrow
of bones and other refuse behind, will pollute the
air, the same will be the measure of its being injurious
to public health. The cremation is the best of all
(methods for the disposal of the dead) because the
fire breaks up the dead body into its component elements
which are carried away by air.
Ch.
- Even cremation gives rise to foul smell.
C.
~ Yes a little, if cremation be not conducted properly,
but nothing compared with what takes place in other
methods, such as the burial. But if cremation be conducted
in accordance with what has been prescribed in the
Vedas, not pollution of the air results. The Vedic
method of cremation is, in brief, as follows:-
Let
a Vedi, 7' 6'' feet long, 5' 3" broad and 4' 6" deep,
be dug in the ground. The walls should slope in such
a manner that breadth of the Vedi at the bottom is
one-half of that at the top, and let sufficient quantity
of wood of such trees, as Butea Fondoea as well as
sandal wood (at least 40lbs.) be piled in the Vedi
and the dead body placed on it. Let the same kind
of wood be put on its top till it is one foot short
of the mouth of Vedi. Let sufficient amount of camphor,
agar, tagar be also scattered here and there in the
pile of wood. Not, let fire be st to the pile and
oblations of clarified butter, whole amount of which
should weigh as much as
PAGE
605
the
weight of the dead body, and to which musk, at the
rate of I grain, and saffron, at the rate of 8 grains,
per pound of ghee, has been added, be poured over
it. This mode of cremation causes no foul smell. Even
this is called Antyeshthi, Narmedha, Purushmedha
Yajna. however poor the deceased be, in no case
should less than 40 lbs. of ghee be used in cremating
the body, whether that quantity of ghee be obtained
by begging or as a gift from his caste-people or from
the Government, if need be, but the body should always
be cremated only in the above-described manner.
But
if the Ghee and other materials (mentioned above)
could not be procured in any way, mere cremation with
wood alone is far better than burial. Millions of
dead bodies can be cremated on a piece of ground having
an area of 201/4 sq. yards or even in one Vedi, nor
is the soil polluted as in burial. The sight of graves
is also the cause of fear to the timid. Hence, burial
and other methods of disposal of the dead are altogether
reprehensible.

"Blessed be the Lord God of my Master Abraham, who
hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and
his truth; I being in the way, the Lord led me to
the house of my master's brethren." (24: 27.)
C.
~ Was He God of Abraham alone? God acted in the same
way as a fore-runner or guide walks in front of his
master in order to show him the way. Why does He not
do the same now-a-days? Why does He not now talk with
men in the same way as He did in the past? Such things
can never be true of God or of His Word. They can
only be true of savages.
29.
"And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by
their names, according to their generations: the first-born
of Ishmael, Nebajoth: and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam.
And Mishma, and Dumah,a nd Massa, Hadar, and Tema,
Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah." (25: 13, 15.)
C.
~ This Ishmael was Abraham's son born of Haggar, his
handmaid.
"I
will make them savory meat for thy father, such as he
loveth: and thou shall bring it to thy father, that
he may eat and that he may bless thee before his death.
And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Essau,
which were with her in the
PAGE
606
house,
and put them upon Jacob, her younger son: and she
put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands,
and upon he smooth of his neck: and Jacob said unto
his father, I am Esau, thy first-born; I have done
according as thou badest me, arise, I pray thee, sit
and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me."
27:9, 10, 15, 17, 19.)
C.
~ Now, look at this man, first he gets the blessing
(of his father) fraudulently and, then, poses as a
great saint and a prophet. Is it not very strange?
Such having been the teachers of the Christian religion,
there is nothing to wonder at if it is so full of
absurdities.
31.
"And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took
the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set
it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of
it. And he called the name of that place Beth-el:
and this stone , which I have set for a pillar, shall
be God's house." (28:18, 19, 22.)
C.
~ Now mark! Did not they act like savages in worshipping
stones and causing others to do the same. Now this
place is called Holy Bathel by the Mohammedans. Is
that stone alone the house of God and does He reside
in that stone alone? Bravo Christians! You are indeed
great idolators!
32
"And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her,
and opened her womb. And she conceived, and bore a
son; and God hath taken away my reproach." (30. 24,
30.)
C.
~ Well done! O Christian God! You are indeed a great
surgeon! What were the instruments or medicines with
which you opened women's wombs, or was all this done
blindly?
33.
"And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night
and said unto him. Take heed that thou speak not to
Jacob either good or bad. Because thou sore longest
after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou
stolen my gods?" (31:24, 30.)
C.
~ This is one instance out of a thousand that are
recorded in the Bible, in which God is said to have
come to people in dreams and conversed with them,
visited them in wakeful state, eaten and drank come
and gone, but one cannot say whether He exists now
or not, as he visits no one either in dreams or in
the wakeful condition. It also appears that these
savages regarded stones as their gods and worshipped
them, but even the Christian God believes stones to
be gods else how could He have used the words stealing
of gods.

"And as Jacob went on his way the angels of God met
him. And when Jacob saw them, he said, this is God's
host: and he called the name of that place Mahanain."
(32:1, 2.)
C.~
Now there can be no doubt that the Christian God is
a man as He also deeps an army (host). He must, therefore,
also have war implements (arms and ammunition), and
be in the habit of attacking others and fighting with
them; otherwise it would be of no use to keep an army.
35.
" And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man
with him until the breaking of the day. And when he
saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched
the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's
thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. And
he said, Let me go for the day breaketh. And he said,
I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. And
he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
And he said thy name shall be called no more Jacob,
but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God
and with men and hast prevailed. And Jacob asked him,
and said, Tell me, I pray thee thy name. And he said,
wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name?
And he blessed him there. And Jacob called the name
of the place Paniel: for I have see God face to face
and my life is preserved. And as he passed over Paniel,
the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
Therefore, children of Israel eat not of the sinew
which shrank which is upon the hollow of the thing,
unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's
thigh in the sinew that shrank." (32:24 -32.)
C.
~ It is only because the Christian God is a regular
wrestler that He blessed Sarah and Rachel with sons!!
Can such a Being ever be God? Again, look at His behavior!
The fellow, Jacob asked Him His name and He won't
tell it. No doubt (the Christian) God put the hollow
of Jacob's thigh out of joint and prevailed upon him
but had He been a doctor He would also have got his
thigh right, By devotion to such a God, other devotees,
like Jacob must also be limping. Now Jacob saw God
face to face and wrestled with Him, it could only
be true of one who possessed a physical body. Away
with this childish prattle.
36.
"And Er, Judah's first-born, was wicked in the sight
of the Lord; and the Lord slew him. And Judah said unto
Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her,
and raise up seed to thy
PAGE
608
brother.
And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and
it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's
wife, that be spilled it on the ground, lest that
he should give seed to his brother, and the ting which
he did displeased the Lord: wherefore, he slew him
also." (37:7 - 10.)
C.
Now, it must be clear to al that these are the doings
of man, not of God. Onan entered into Niyoga* with
Er's wife why did God slay him? Why did not He guide
his understanding?

37. "And it came to pass in those days, when Moses
was grown that he went out unto his brethren, and
looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian
smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren. And he looked
this way and that way, and when he saw that there
was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the
sand. And when he went out the second day, behold,
two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said
to him that did the wrong, wherefore smitest thou
thy fellow? And he said, who made thee a prince and
a judge over us? Intendest thou to kill me, as thou
killedest the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said,
Surely this thing is known." (1: 11 - 14.)
C.
~ Now mark, reader. This Moses - chief prophet of
the Bible, the founder of its religion - was a slave
to such passions as anger, was a homicide who wanted
to escape his punishment like an ordinary thief. As
he concealed his crime, he must have been in the habit
of telling lies. Even such a man (as Moses) met God,
became a great prophet and founded the Jewish religion
- a religion the reflected the character of its founder.
Hence all the chief prophets of the Christians from
Moses downwards were all uncivilized…and devoid of
culture.

"…..kill the Passover. And ye shall take a bunch of
hyssop, and dip it into the blood that is in the bason,
and strike the lintel and the two side-posts with the
blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go
out at the door of his house until the morning. For
the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians: and
when
*This also conclusively proves
that Niyoga waa in vogue in all countries in ancient
time.

He
seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two-posts,
the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer
the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite
you." )12:21 - 23.)
C.
~ This looks more kike making a charm. Can such a
God ever be All-knowing who could not know the houses
of the children of Israel but by seeing blood prints
)on their lintels and side-posts). This is more like
a man with a poor understanding. It shows that these
things were written by some savage.
39.
"And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote
all the first-born in the land of Egypt, from the
first-born of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto
the first-born of the captive that was in the dungeon;
and all the first-born of cattle. And Pharaoh rose
up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all
the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt;
for there was not a house where there was not one
dead." (12:29, 30.)
C.
~ Bravo! What a fine thing did this God of the Christians
do! How like a burglar, at midnight He mercilessly
killed children., infants and the aged and even cattle
that were all innocent! He had not had the least pity
on them. 'There was a great cry in Egypt' and yet
the heart of this Christian God would not melt. Let
alone God, even an ordinary man would not do such
a thing and yet there is nothing strange in it as
it has been said "A flesh-eater knows no pity." When
the God of the Christian is a flesh-eater, what can
He have to do with pity and compassion?
40.
"The Lord shalt fight for you….speak unto the children
of Israel; that they go forward. But lift thou up
thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea ,
and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go
on dry ground through the midst of the sea." (14:14
- 16.)
C.
~ Well Sir! In ancient times God used to follow the
children of Israel as does a shepherd his flock of
sheep. We wonder where has He hidden himself now?
Had he been in evidence now, He would have helped
the Christians to make rail-roads throughout the sea
which would have been a great boon to the world. They
would also have been saved the trouble of constructing
boats and ships. But what is to be done. None knows
where this Christian God had hidden himself. The Biblical
God had done many an impossible thing in his dealings
with Moss. But it appears that like
PAGE
610
God
like devotee and His Book is but too true in this
case. May such a God and such a book remain far form
us. In this alone lies our good.
41."….for
I the Lord thy God, am a jealous God visiting the
iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the
third and fourth generation of them that hate me;……"
(20:5.)
C.
~ Now what kind of justice is this to consider it
good to visit the sins of fathers upon children unto
the fourth generation. Does not a good father even
have wicked children or vice versa? If this be true
how could (the Christian) God be justified in inflicting
punishment on children onto the fourth generation
for the sins of their fathers? It is unjust to inflict
punishment on the innocent.
42.
"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days
shalt thou labor…but the seventh day is the Sabbath
of the Lord thy God…the Lord blessed the Sabbath day."
20:9 -11.)
C.
~ Is Sunday alone the holy day? Are the other six
days (of the week) unholy? Had God worked so hared
for six days that he got tired and went to sleep on
the seventh? If he blessed Sunday, what did He do
unto the other six days? He must have cursed them.
Leave alone God, even a enlightened man would not
do such a thing. What good did He see in the Sabbath
day and what wrong had the other six days done that
He blessed and hallowed the one and without any cause
pronounced the others unholy?
43.
"Thou shalt bear false witness against thy neighbor.
Thou shall not cover thy neighbor's house, thu shalt
not covet thy neighbors wife, nor his man-servant,
nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor
anything that is thy neighbor's." (20:16, 17.)
C.
~ Bravo! No wonder that the Christians covet the wealth
and possessions of the foreigners as assiduously as
a thirst man thirsts for water or a hungry man hungers
after food. The Christian God would be as selfish
and partial as is the author of this (so-called) commandment.
If a Christian were to say that the word neighbor
here includes all men, it cannot be true because none
will be left out whose wife and servants one could
covet. Hence these are the inventions of selfish men
and not the commandments of God.

"Now therefore dill every male among the little ones,
and kill every woman that hath known man by lying
with him. But all the women children that have not
known a man by lying with him keep alive for yourselves."
(31:17, 18.)
C.
~ Well done (Christians)! How good is your prophet
Moses as well as your God, who could ot keep aloof
form taking even the lives of women children, the
aged and the cattle. It also conclusively proves that
Moses was voluptuous, since had he not been sensual,
he would not have spared virgin girls for himself
as well as for his followers, nor would he have issued
such cruel order ( as encouraged sensualism).
45.
"He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely
put to death. And if a man lie not in wait, but God
deliver him into his had; then I will appoint thee
a place wither he shall flee." (21:12, 13.)
C.
~ If this act of God be just, why was not the same
punishment meted out to Moses who slew a man, buried
him and then ran away? He stands guilty of partiality
to Moses or else why did He not let Moses be judged
by the ruler of the country.
46.
"….and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the
Lord. And Moses took half of the blood and put it
in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the
altar, and Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it
on the people, and said, Behold the blood fo the covenant
which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these
words." 24:5, 6, 8, 12.)
C.
~ Now reader, judge for yourself whether the authors
of all these acts were savages or not. How like a
savages. How like a savage and a barbarian to think
that the God Almighty accepts burnt offerings of oxen
and sanctions the sprinkling of blood on the altar.
Such being their God, why should not His votaries
fill their stomachs with the meat of oxen and cows
and thereby cause a great loss to the world.
The
evil influence that the Christians try to bring the
same sort of false charge against the Vedas, but there
is absolutely not mention of animal sacrifice and
the like practices in them. Further this conclusively
proves that the God of the Christians was a hill-man
who lived on a mountain. He could neither make nor
procure paper, ink and pen and therefore was compelled
to write on tablets of
PAGE

stones
which He gave t o Moses, He might have passed for
God before those savages.

"And he said, Thou canst not see my face; for there

and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
and I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see
my back parts but my face shall not be seen." (33:20
- 23.)
C.
~ Now reader! Is there any doubt left in your mind
as to the God of the Christian having a body like
that of a man? (Mark) How He played tricks with Moses
and posed as God!

48. "And the Lord called unto Moses, and spake
unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation,
saying. Speak unto the children of Israel, and say
unto them. If any man of you bring an offering unto
the Lord, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle,
even of the herd and of the flock." (1:1,2.)
C.
~ Now does not the God of the Christians, Who accepts
the offerings of oxen and cows, etc., and enjoins
upon His votaries to bring such offerings to Him,
thirst for the blood and hunger after the flesh of
such animals? Such a being can never be considered
as God or even as a man of a tender-hearted nature,
on the other hand, he looks more like a flesh-eating
trickster.

"And he shall kill the bullock before the Lord: and

unto the Lord." (1:5 - 9.)
C.
~ A little consideration will show that the place,
where a bullock is killed by His votaries before the
Lord (who sanctions

that
act) his blood is sprinkled on all sides of the altar
and the flesh of the animals offered as a burnt offering
on the altar when the Lord smells a sweet savor, is
not better than a slaughter-house. These things serve
to show that the Bible can never be the Word of God
nor can its God be any better than a savage trickster.

~ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying. If the priest
that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the
people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath
sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the Lord
for a sin offering. And he shall bring the bullock
unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation
before the Lord; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock's
head, and kill the bullock before the Lord." (4:1,
3, 4.)
C.
~ Now look at his atonement for sins! A man commits
a sin and in order to atone for its kills useful animals
and the (Christian) God sanctions such an act. Well
done, Christians! Even such a Being s this you hold
to be God and hope to be saved through His Grace.

"When a ruler hath sinned….he shall bring his offering
a kid of the goats, a male without blemish:…..they
kill the burnt offering before the Lord: it is sin
offering." (4:22 - 24.)
C.
~ Bravo, ye Christians! Such being the case why should
the Christian rulers, judges and commanders (of the
army) and the like officials fear sin. It is strange
that these people should sin for their gratification
and by way of atonement for their sins take the lives
of cows, calves and other (useful) animals. This is
why Christians have no scruples, in taking the life
of any bird or animal. Come ye Christian, renounce
this barbarous religion and embrace the Vedic faith
- the religion of light, culture and righteousness.
That alone will give you true happiness.

"And if he be not able to bring a lamb, en he shall
bring for his trespass, which he hath committed, two
turtledoves, or tow your pigeons, unto the Lord; and
wring off his head from his neck…..but shall not divide
it asunder….shall make an atonement for him for his
sin which he hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.
But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves or tow
your pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his

the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin
offering*: he shall put no oil upon it." (5:7, 8,
