In fact Christ didn't bear a cross to Calvary but a t-beam - they used to execute on them. St. Apostle Barnabas, as well as all ancient Christian authors, taught: "You have a cross in the letter "t".

And early Christians called an equilateral Turkic cross "the sign of the beast". One can read the Bible dozens of times, but there is not a single word there about the fact that some of the Christians made the sign of the cross. Even Christ. They really didn't have neither a cross, not a sign of the cross!

The first (or the earliest) Christianity, which is deemed to appear in the times of Christ, remained until now as a belief. And this is perhaps the most astonishing fact in the history of religions… The relict of belief! Its traces can be found in Palestine and Minor Asia and not in Rome. And they are the only left by Christ on the road of Christianity. There are no other traces.

Let's think about it, could the followers of Christ's teaching accept his disciples together with him? Never. The disciples ran away in a cowardly manner during the savage punishment of Christ. How can one follow them after they have betrayed their master and left him alone in a deadly moment? In neither religion, for neither nation a betrayal has ever been respected and esteemed.

That's why the Old Testament, on which Christ based, became the teaching of the first Christians. And the ceremony passed from the Jews to them. The words "Christian" and "Jew" were of the same meaning; they didn't differ. That's why early Christianity was the sect of Judaism.

Amidst the Jews there were other sects apart from the Christians, zelots for example. The Christians were different from other Jews just because they believed in soon arrival of Messiah - thus was pronounced the name of Hero - Savior (but not Christ!) who was supposed to save Europe from the Roman yoke, thus was written in Apocalypse.

The evidences to the things aforesaid are in the history of communities called Jewish in Russia. They are the most ancient branch of the Christian religion, the first one! At first it found its followers in Palestine, later, due to refusal to take part in Judaic War (66 - 73) the Jews turned the Christians out to the Minor Asia. After that they settled in Rome. (Because Rome was considered to be the cradle of Christianity in Europe. But which Christianity?)

Apostle Paul addressed his "Epistle to the Romans" to them - to those Jewish Christians! In faraway Rome, the capital of the Empire, Paul saw the followers of Christ's teaching.

The fourth chapter of that "Epistle" is dedicated to circumcision being obligatory for the Christians. For example, there are the following words there: "And he got the sign of circumcision as a righteous mark through belief". Or: "This bliss relates to circumcision". That sacred ceremony of initiation which Christ has also passed is performed on the eighth day.

Circumcision was deemed to be christening, i.e. becoming a Christian.

Jewish Christians are still notable for astonishing conservatism, they recognize no innovations in their belief. They honor only religion accepted from Christ's hands. Unfortunately (or luckily) not much is known about this most ancient branch of Christianity; its followers have been persecuted by the official Church since IV century.

However some notes by the travelers remained. In XIX century there was a Privolnoye settlement in Baku province (Djalalabad region now) which inhabitants are still adhered to the most ancient, "pure" Christian traditions.

An eyewitness described them as follows: "Heresy of the Jewish, as we know, appeared in Russia in XV century in Novgorod for the first time, from where it got to Moscow; a Jew Skharia brought it to Novgorod. The essence of that early teaching, as we can judge by available scant sources, is in negation of basic dogmas of Christianity (trinity, divine nature of Jesus Christ), certain sacraments, spiritual hierarchy, obeisance to icons, monkhood, and from the other hand - in recognition of Judaic ceremonies. Heresy of the Jews was convicted at Moscow Council in 1504 and put down".

They punished the followers of the true Christianity especially violently in XIX century in Russia. At that time that found a response in Russian souls and mass banishment and killing of the followers of that teaching began. That was the time when Privolnoye settlement and other settlements appeared in Baku province; their founders were the natives of the Central Russia ( The Karaites - the Turki living in the Crimea and in Lithuania are of a special interest for an historian of religions. They are also the followers of the Old Testament. But can they be called "Jewish"? Or they are the bearers of a more ancient teaching which appeared before Christianity and even Judaism? The latter is more likely. In Altai and in other Siberian regions where the Turki lived (not connected with Palestine) ancient folk legends remained which nonplus the scientists, - as a matter of fact these are the fragments of the Old Testament, its outline. Where from? The priest Stephan Landyshev, the Russian missionary, was the first who found them in XIX century and published them. A striking similarity with biblical legends about creation of the world, creation of man, the Fall, true belief etc.).

Privolnoye inhabitants, no doubt, didn't call themselves with an irritating word "Jewish", they said: "We are the Sabbatarians". Otherwise, the followers of pure Judaism. All doubtful extraneous features which appeared later in Christ's teaching, including the New Testament, they decidedly rejected seeing heresy in them. Because those books were not from Christ!

Indeed, they were not from him. Canonization of Christian books, including New Testament, commenced from the end of IV century which was called the "Golden Age" for East and West. That was an epoch of united church Councils, theological disputes and even hand-to-hand fighting in the name of consolidation of a new belief.

Everything was mixed up - lust for power and ambition, greed and envy, - bishops knew what to fight for… And there was nothing "apostolic"… Except for the names. Church was built by the people who were common but not simple-minded.

The name "Jesus Christ" appeared in II century; before that the hero was called Joshua. Many facts about him became known due to pains of apostle Paul who lived after Christ. But… he, as the Church asserts, as though "used to see and listen to" Christ, even talk to him having a certain ecstatic experience… Later the number of "talkers" and "eyewitnesses" of Christ became dozens of times more. And each of them tried to report about his "meeting"… Books were written as well as the Gospels not recognized later (Apocrypha).

… During the prayers "pure" Christians, according to Christ's precept, use only ancient Jewish words. Churches in Privolnoye settlement, according to the witnesses, looked like synagogues. Church or cathedral features were absent in their architecture. Again, that is natural. Besides the synagogues, the Christians, having become a little bit farther form Judaism, couldn't and didn't have the right to invent other ritual places.

Privolnoye settlement inhabitants emphasized Saturday in the course of the whole year as a holiday, the same as Purim, Jewish Easter with matzoth and some other holidays.

"Pure" Christians don't ever cross themselves - they simply don't have the sign of the cross. But exterior observers used to talk about licentiousness, or about free relations inside a community, which wasn't recognized as a sin. That is an ancient Judaic tradition. People live according to their laws, with their morals. And they call a church another construction - not one to which official Christians are accustomed.

Sabbatarians lived according to the ancient testaments of the Bible! As it was in the time of Christ.

Inside the "Christian" synagogue (which literally means "house for a meeting") there were vast rectangular halls, further in the hall there was a bookcase curtained with a coverlet. The synagogues - their purpose and arrangement - were repeated by the first Christians! There was no church architecture in the time if Christ.

Unfortunately, representatives of the official Church have never performed an investigation of the Jewish ceremonies; that was excused for the reason that heresy is out of its interest… But what is "heresy" in this particular case?

Who deviated from Christ's symbol? Were these the Jewish?.. It seems nobody has ever asked this question. It's a pity. Because the sources of Christianity are littered with undisguised aversion which has been accumulating for centuries.

The Jewish reject "traditional Christians" because of their innovation, insisting that it is impossible to correct Christ.

Which are those innovations? What are they? When did they appear? And why?

Early Christians don't recognize divine nature of Christ and Trinity. In other words they reject the most important dogmas of official Christianity. What does it witness about? That those dogmas appeared after Christ, apparently. It means they came to religion form the Evil One, Sabbatarians reckon.

And that's true, at the beginning of IV century at Ecumenical Council I of the year 325 Constantine, the Byzantine emperor, ordered the Christians to respect the Christ equally with God. He really ordered basing its conception of "consubstantiality" as follows: "one shouldn't object to determinations of the autocrat directed to protection of the truth".

A weighty statement…

The first important church dogma appeared under tough pressure of temporal power. Is this approach correct for a spiritual meditation? Theologians should answer. But the most important testament of Christ was uttered by the emperor Constantine who… wasn't a Christian! He was the high pagan priest in his life.

And what is a dogma? That is the corner stone of religion, its base. It is notable that Constantine's idea wasn't new; it has been already stated in 268, discussed and … rejected as it was recognized as a heretical one.

Constantine's suggestion was not a dogma but rather an excellent political finding of Byzantium compared with which the Grecian horse of ancient Greeks is a miserable child's play. The Greeks have skillfully hidden the poison of delayed-action then: they killed the Turkic religion.

"God is eternal for it is the World and the Creator of the World", - ancient Turki used to say.

Consequently Christ isn't equal to God just because he was born, and a birth is connected with origin. He couldn't die for the same reason - death is connected with the end. If he was dead on the cross it turns out God dies together with him. And this is absurd since God is eternal…

And this is a double absurd. In Matthew's Gospel it is said in the very first line: "The family tree of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham…" How should that phrase be interpreted? What about God?

Ignorance of Constantine - the pagan! - led the Church to absurdity. Sabbatarians were the first who objected it. Certain church officials and even separate Churches followed them. All in vain. They weren't heard.

For example, the bishop Arius tried to explain Constantine and others that a son cannot be his father at the same time. But the reasoned voice drowned in the scream of opponents who saw other things in that dogma - expanding of Greek power over other territories. Those territories where people believed in Heavenly God. In other words, over the Turkic lands! The Greeks prepared their new wooden horse to be sent there. They dreamt to get into the churches of the Turki with a laureate wreath, being their spiritual brothers and, usurping their culture, to subdue them. It happened almost that way.

Byzantium, having become the leader of the Christian world, ignored everything being an obstacle on the way to their secret goal… And that is not a religion - that is politics! Pure, or better to say, dirty politics. Self-assured Turki, being accustomed to see white as white and black as black didn't suspect a craft. The Romans were the only ones who guessed it and at first they secretly supported the Greeks.

Creating the state church the emperor Constantine became firmly established in the Mediterranean region and that fact, for sure, started to bother Rome. Especially since Byzantium began to perform different plays demonstrating personal friendship of its emperor with God - as though "God marvelously, through the visions, disclosed intention of the enemies" to him, "favored him with theophany repeatedly". That was a real mess… But thus the character of saint emperor was created.

Eusebius, a well-known historian, used to write about him as of the "saint", although neglecting the fact that the "saint" smothered his nearest relatives - his wife and his son - with his own hands. And after that it is assumed to call Constantine the main hero of Christianity - "the emperor equal to an apostle"…, "The Great"… in the history of the Church.
