Enclosure 1(A)
Some Quotations from the Holy Bible
1. Old Testament, EXODUS 23; 23-24: God said, "My angel will go
ahead of you and take you into the land of the Amorites, the Hittites,
the Perizzites, the Cannanites, the Hivites, the Jebusites, and I will
destroy them. Do not bow down to their gods or worship them, and do
not adopt their religious practices. Destroy their gods and break down
their sacred stone pillars.
2. Old Testament, EXODUS 34; 13: God said "Tear down their altars,
destroy their sacred pillars, and cut down the symbols of their
goddess Asherah".
3. Old Testament, EXODUS 31; 17-18: Prophet Moses commanded:
"Now kill every boy and kill every woman who has had sexual
intercourse, but keep alive for yourself all the girls and all the women
who are virgins".
4. Old Testament, DEUTERONOMY 4; 16-19: Prophet Moses said, "Do
not sin by making for yourself an idol in any form at all-whether man
or woman, animal or bird, reptile or fish. Do not be tempted to
worship and serve what you see in the sky - the Sun, the Moon, and
the Stars".
5. Old Testament, DEUTERONOMY 20; 16-18: Prophet Moses said,
"When you capture cities in that land that the Lord your God is giving
you, kill every one. Completely destroy all the people: the Hittites, the
Amorites, the Cannanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, the Jebusites, as
the Lord ordered you to do".
6. Old Testament, DEUTERONOMY 32; 16: Prophet Moses said, "Their
idolatry made the Lord jealous; the evil they did made Him angry".
7. Old Testament, DEUTERONOMY 32; 21-25: The Lord said, "With
their idols they have made me angry, jealous with their so-called
gods… My anger will flame up like fire and burn everything on Earth.
It will reach the Earth below and consume the roots of the mountains.
I will bring on them endless disasters and use all my arrows against
them. They will die from hunger and fever; they will die from terrible
diseases. I will send wild animals to attack them, and poisonous
snakes to bite them. War will bring death in the streets; terrors will
strike in the homes. Young men and young women will die; neither
babies nor old men will be spared."
8. Old Testament, 2 Chronicles 34; 3-7: "In the 8th year that Josia was
King, while he was still very young, he began to worship the God of
his ancestor King David. Four years later, he began to destroy the
Pagan places of worship, the symbol of the Goddess Asherah, and all
the other idols. Under his direction, his men smashed the altars
where Ball was worshipped and tore down the incense-altars near
them. They ground to dust the images of Asherah and all the other
idols and then scattered the dust on the graves of the people who had
sacrificed to them. He burnt the bones of the pagan priests on the
altars where they had worshipped. By doing all these, he made Judah
and Jerusalem rituality clean again. He did the same thing in the
cities and the devastated areas of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon,
and as far north as Naphtali. Throughout the territory of the Northern
Kingdom he smashed the altars and the symbols of Asherah, ground
the idols to dust, and broke in pieces all the incense-altars."
9. Old Testament, Isaiah 44; 9-11: God, the Lord, said, "All those who
make idols are worthless, and the gods they prize so highly are
useless. Those who worship these gods are blind and ignorant-and
they will be disgraced. It's no good making a metal image to worship
as a god! Every one who worships it will be humiliated. The people
who make idols are human beings and nothing more. Let them come
and stand trial-they will be terrified and will suffer disgrace."
10. Old Testament, Exodus 29; 10-28: God's Instructions for ordaining
Aaron and his Sons as Priests: "Bring the bull to the front of the Tent
of my presence and tell Aaron and his sons to put their hands on its
head. Kill the bull there in my Holy presence at the entrance of the
Tent. Take some of the bull's blood and with your finger put it on the
projections of the altar. Pour out the rest of the blood at the base of
the altar. Next, take all the fat which covers the internal organs, the
best part of the liver, and the two kidneys with the fat on them and
burn them on the altar as an offering to me.
"Take one of the rams and tell Aaron and his sons to put their
hands on its head, kill it and take its blood and throw it against all
four sides of the altar. Cut the ram in pieces; wash its internal organs
and its hind legs, and put them on top of the head and other pieces.
Burn the whole ram on the altar as a food offering. The odour of this
offering pleases me."
"But burn the bull's flesh, its skin, and its intestines outside
the camp. This is an offering to take away the sins of the priests."
"Take the other ram-the ram used for dedication-and tell Aaron and
his sons to put their hands on its head. Kill it, take some of its blood
and put it on the lobes of the right ears of Aaron and his sons, on the
thumbs of their right hands and on the big toes of their right feet.
Throw the rest of the blood against all four sides of the altar. Take
some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil,
and sprinkle it on Aaron and his clothes and on his sons and on their
clothes. He, his sons, and their clothes will then be dedicated to me.
Cut away the ram's fat, the fat-tail, the fat covering the internal
organs, the best part of the liver, the two kidneys with the fat on
them, and the right thigh. From the basket of the bread which has
been offered to me, take one loaf of each kind: one loaf made with
olive-oil and one made without it, and one biscuit. Put all this food in
the hands of Aaron and his sons and tell them to dedicate it to me as
a special gift. Then take it from them and burn it on the altar, on top
of the burnt-offering, as a food-offering to me. The odour of this
offering pleases me."
"Take the breast of this ram and dedicate it to me as a special gift.
This part of the animal will be yours."
"When a priest is ordained, the breast and the thigh of the ram being
used for the ordination are to be dedicated to me as a special gift and
set aside for the priests. It is my unchanging decision that when my
people make their fellowship-offerings, the breast and the thigh of the
animal belong to the priests. This is the people's gift to me, the Lord."
11. Old Testament, EXODUS, 38-39: The Daily Offerings: "Every
day for all time to come, sacrifice on the altar two one-year-old lambs.
Sacrifice one of the lambs in the morning and the other in the
evening."
12. Old Testament, ISAIAH 13; 14-16: The Lord commanded, "The
foreigners living in Babylon will run away to their own countries
scattering like deer escaping from hunters, like sheep without a
shepherd. Anyone who is caught will be stabbed to death. While they
look on helplessly, their babies will be battered to death, their houses
will be looted and their wives will be raped."
13. New Testament, Luke 12; 51-53: Jesus said, "Do you suppose
that I came to bring peace to the World? No, not peace, but division.
From now on a family of five will be divided, three against two and two
against three. Fathers will be against their sons, and sons against
their fathers; mothers will be against their daughters and daughters
against their mothers; mothers-in-law will be against their daughters-
in-law, and daughters-in-law against their mothers-in-law."
14. New Testament, LUKE 22; 36:Jesus said, "Whoever has a purse or a
bag must take it; and whoever has no sword must sell his coat and
buy one."
15. New Testament, MARK 16; 15-16: Jesus said, "Go throughout the
whole world and preach the Gospel to all mankind. Whoever believes
and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be
condemned."
16. New Testament, MATHEW 16; 18-19: Jesus said, "Peter: you are a
rock, and on this rock I will build my Church, and not even death will
ever be able to overcome it. I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of
Heaven; what you prohibit on Earth will be prohibited in Heaven, and
what you permit on Earth will be permitted in Heaven."
17. New Testament, ACTS 16; 6: They traveled through the region of
Phrygia and Golatia because the Holy Spirit did not let them to preach
the message in the province of Asia."
18. New Testament, ACTS 7; 41-42: "It was then that they made an idol
in the shape of a bull, offered sacrifice, and had a feast in honour of
what they themselves had made. So God turned away from them and
gave them over to worship the stars of Heaven."
19. New Testament, ACTS 17; 29-31: "Since we are God's children, we
should not suppose that his nature is anything like an image of gold
or silver or stone shaped by the art and the skill of man. God has
overlooked the times when the people did not know him, but now he
commands all of them everywhere to turn away from their evil ways.
For he has fixed a day in which he will judge the whole world with
justice by means of a man he has chosen. He has given proof of this
to every one by raising that man from death!
20. New Testament, Paul's Letter No.1 to CORINTHIANS 7: 4-6: "So
then, about eating the food offered to idols: We know that an idol
stands for something that does not really exist; we know that there is
only one God. Even if there are so-called 'gods', whether in Heaven or
on Earth, and even though there are many of these 'gods' and 'lords',
yet there is for us only one God, the Father, who is the Creator of all
things and for whom we live; and there is only one Lord, Jesus Christ,
through whom all things were created and through whom we live."
21. New Testament, Paul's Letter No. 1 to CORINTHIANS 10, 20:
"What I am saying is that what is sacrificed on Pagan altars is offered
to Demons, not to God".

JESUIT OATH IN ACTION!
Last updated Oct. 12, 1999
"When a Jesuit of the minor rank is to be elevated to command, he is
conducted into the Chapel of the Convent of the Order, where there are
only three others present, the principal or Superior standing in front of
the altar. On either side stands a monk, one of whom holds a banner of
yellow and white, which are the Papal colors, and the other a black
banner with a dagger and red cross above a skull and crossbones, with
the word INRI, and below them the words IUSTUM, NECAR, REGES,
IMPIOUS. The meaning of which is: It is just to exterminate or annihilate
impious or heretical Kings, Governments, or Rulers. Upon the floor is a
red cross at which the postulant or candidate kneels. The Superior
hands him a small black crucifix, which he takes in his left hand and
presses to his heart, and the Superior at the same time presents to him a
dagger, which he grasps by the blade and holds the point against his
heart, the Superior still holding it by the hilt, and thus addresses the
postulant:"
Superior speaks:
My son, heretofore you have been taught to act the dissembler:
among Roman Catholics to be a Roman Catholic, and to be a spy
even among your own brethren; to believe no man, to trust no man.
Among the Reformers, to be a reformer; among the Huguenots, to be a
Huguenot; among the Calvinists, to be a Calvinist; among other
Protestants, generally to be a Protestant, and obtaining their confidence,
to seek even to preach from their pulpits, and to denounce with all the
vehemence in your nature our Holy Religion and the Pope; and even to
descend so low as to become a Jew among Jews, that you might be
enabled to gather together all information for the benefit of your Order as
a faithful soldier of the Pope.
You have been taught to insidiously plant the seeds of jealousy
and hatred between communities, provinces, states that were at
peace, and incite them to deeds of blood, involving them in war with
each other, and to create revolutions and civil wars in countries that
were independent and prosperous, cultivating the arts and the sciences
and enjoying the blessings of peace. To take sides with the combatants
and to act secretly with your brother Jesuit, who might be engaged
on the other side, but openly opposed to that with which you might
be connected, only that the Church might be the gainer in the end, in the
conditions fixed in the treaties for peace and that the end justifies the
means.
You have been taught your duty as a spy, to gather all statistics,
facts and information in your power from every source; to ingratiate
yourself into the confidence of the family circle of Protestants and
heretics of every class and character, as well as that of the merchant, the
banker, the lawyer, among the schools and universities, in
parliaments and legislatures, and the judiciaries and councils of state,
and to be all things to all men, for the Pope's sake, whose servants
we are unto death.
You have received all your instructions heretofore as a novice, a
neophyte, and have served as co-adjurer, confessor and priest, but you
have not yet been invested with all that is necessary to command in
the Army of Loyola in the service of the Pope. You must serve the
proper time as the instrument and executioner as directed by your
superiors; for none can command here who has not consecrated his
labors with the blood of the heretic; for "without the shedding of
blood no man can be saved." Therefore, to fit yourself for your work and
make your own salvation sure, you will, in addition to your former oath
of obedience to your order and allegiance to the Pope, repeat after me---
Superior speaks:
"You will now rise to your feet and I will instruct you in the Catechism
necessary to make yourself known to any member of the Society of Jesus
belonging to this rank.
In the first place, you, as a Brother Jesuit, will with another
mutually make the ordinary sign of the cross as any ordinary Roman
Catholic would; then one cross his wrists, the palms of his hands open,
and the other in answer crosses his feet, one above the other; the first
points with forefinger of the right hand to the center of the palm of the
left, the other with the forefinger of the left hand points to the center of
the palm of the right; the first then with his right hand makes a circle
around his head, touching it; the other then with the forefinger of his left
hand touches the left side of his body just below his heart; the first then
with his right hand draws it across the throat of the other, and the latter
then with a dagger down the stomach and abdomen of the first. The first
then says Iustum; and the other answers Necar; the first Reges. The
other answers Impious." (The meaning of which has already been
explained.) "The first will then present a small piece of paper folded in a
peculiar manner, four times, which the other will cut longitudinally and
on opening the name Jesu will be found written upon the head and arms
of a cross three times. You will then give and receive with him the
following questions and answers:

Some Quotations from the Holy Quran (Oxford
University Press, The World's Classics, Translation
by A.J. Arberry)
1. THE HOUSE OF IMRAN, 114: "O believers, take not for your
intimates outside yourselves; such men spare nothing to ruin
you; they yearn for you to suffer. Hatred has already shown itself
on their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is yet greater. Now
we have made clear to you the signs, if you understand". (p. 60)
2. THE HOUSE OF IMRAN, 144: "We will cast terror into the
hearts of the unbelievers…. their lodging shall be the fire". (p. 63)
3. WOMEN, 59: "Surely those who disbelieve in Our signs - we
shall certainly roast them at a fire; as often as their skins are
wholly burned, we shall give them in exchange other skins, that
they may taste the chastisement. Surely, God is All-Mighty, All-
Wise." (p. 80)
4. WOMEN, 78: "The believers fight in the way of God, and the
unbelievers fight in the idols' way. Fight you therefore against
the friends of Satan; surely the guile of Satan is feeble." (p. 83)
6. THE TABLE, 37: "This is the reward of those who fight against
God and His Messenger, and hasten about the earth, to do
corruption there: they shall be slaughtered, or crucified, or they
shall be banished from the land. That is the degradation for
them in this world; and in the world to come awaits them a
mighty Chastisement". (p. 105)
7. THE TABLE, 56: "O believers, take not the Jews and Christians
as friends; they are friends of each other. Who so of you makes
them his friends is one of them".(p. 108)
9. THE TABLE, 76: They are the unbelievers who say, "God is the
Messiah, Mary's son". (p. 111)
10. THE BATTLEMENTS, 92-95: "We have sent no Prophet to any city
but that We seized its people with misery and hardship, that
haply they might be humble; then We gave them in the place of
evil, good, till they multiplied and said, "Hardship and happiness
visited our fathers". So we seized them suddenly, unawares. Yet
had the peoples of the cities believed and been God-fearing, we
would have opened upon them blessings from heaven and earth,
but they cried lies, and so We seized them for what they earned.
Do the people of the cities feel secure Our might shall not
come upon them at night while they are sleeping? Do the
people of the cities feel secure Our might shall not come upon
them in day light while they are playing. (p. 155)
11. THE SPOILS, 12: "When thy Lord was revealing to the angels, 'I
am with you; so confirm the believers. I shall cast into the
unbelievers' hearts terror; so smite above the necks, and smite
every finger of them". (p. 170)
12. THE SPOILS, 57: "Surely the worst of beasts in God's sight are the
unbelievers who will not believe." (p. 175)
13. THE SPOILS, 65: "O Prophet, urge on the believers to fight. If
there be twenty of you, patient men, they will overcome two
hundred; if there be a hundred of you, they will overcome a
thousand unbelievers, for they are a people who understand not."
(p. 176)
14. THE SPOILS, 68: "It is not for any Prophet to have prisoners
until he make wide slaughter in the land." (p.177)
15. REPENTANCE, 17: "It is not for idolaters to inhabit God's places
of worship." (p. 181)
17. HOOD, 98: "And the evil-doers were seized by the Cry, and
morning found them in their habitations fallen prostrate as if
they had never dwelt there." (p. 223)
19. THE PROPHETS, 10-15: "Now we have sent down to you a Book
wherein is your remembrance; will you not understand? How
many a city that was evil-doing we have shattered, and set up
after it another people! Then, when they perceived our might,
behold, they ran headlong out of it. 'Run not! Return you unto
the luxury that you exulted in, and your dwelling-places; haply you
shall be questioned.' They said, 'Alas for us! we have been evil-
doers." So they ceased not to cry, until We made them stubble,
silent and still." (pp. 323-324)
20. THE PROPHETS, 58-64: "And, by God, I shall assuredly outwit
your idols, after you have gone away turning backs. So he broke
them into fragments, all but a great one they had, for haply they
would return to it. They said, 'Who has done this with our gods?
Surely he is one of the evil-doers.' They said, 'We heard a young
man making mention of them, and he was called Abraham.' They
said 'Bring him before the people's eyes; haply they shall bear
witness.' They said, 'So, art thou the man who did this unto our
gods, Abraham?' He said, 'No; it was this great one of them that
did it. Question them, if they are able to speak!"(pp. 327-328)
21. THE PILGRIMAGE, 17-22: Surely, they that believe, and those of
jewry, the Sabaeans, the Christians, the Magians and the idolaters
- God shall distinguish between them on the day of resurrection;
assuredly, God is witness over everything....... As for the
unbelievers, for them garments of fire shall be cut, and there
shall be poured over their heads boiled water whereby
whatsoever is in their bellies and their skins shall be melted; for
them await hooked iron rods; as often as they desire in their
anguish to come forth from it, they shall be restored into it,
and : 'Taste the chastisement of the burning." (p. 335)
23. THE RANGERS, 40-49: "Except for God's sincere servants; for
them awaits a known provision, fruits and they high-honoured in
the Gardens of Bliss upon coaches, set face to face, a cup from a
spring being passed round to them, white, a delight to the
drinkers, wherein no sickness is, neither intoxication;. and with
them wide-eyed maidens restraining their glances as if they
were hidden pearls. They advance one upon another, asking
each other questions." (pp. 457-458)
