Before the Roman Church took control, the early followers of Yeshua (Jesus) had scrolls in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Syriac. These weren’t Greek philosophical texts—they were living documents, written by and for people who knew the Messiah personally.
The early New Testament existed long before Constantine and the Catholic Church. But it looked very different:
📖 The Syriac New Testament only had 22 books, not 27.
📜 The Hebrew Gospel of Matthew was used by the original disciples.
🕎 The Nazarenes (early Jewish believers) rejected Paul and followed the Torah.
✍️ Aramaic writings circulated in Edessa, Judea, and Galilee — not Rome.
🧨 What Changed After 325 AD?
When Emperor Constantine legalized Christianity and formed the Council of Nicaea, everything changed:
🔥 Scrolls were burned
📚 Hebrew and Aramaic versions were destroyed or buried
✝️ A Roman-friendly version of Christianity was assembled
🏛️ Paul's letters were elevated above the teachings of the Twelve
🧠 Greek philosophy replaced Hebrew thought
The Roman Church rewrote history — and possibly Scripture — to fit its empire. The result? A new religion, built not on the original faith of Yeshua, but on Roman politics and Greek logic.
🧱 What Was Lost?
The scrolls that were destroyed likely included:
The original Hebrew Gospel used by Matthew
The Syriac collection of 22 books used before the full Greek canon
Writings from James, Thomas, and other disciples not shaped by Greek thought
Teachings that kept Torah, spoke of repentance, and taught obedience to YHWH (God)
🔍 What Evidence Remains?
The Peshitta (early Syriac Bible) lacked Revelation, 2 Peter, 2–3 John, and Jude.
Early writers like Epiphanius admitted the Nazarenes rejected Paul.
The Hebrew Gospel of Matthew was mentioned by Papias and Jerome, but is now lost.
No manuscript of any New Testament book can be proven to exist before 325 AD.
📢 Why This Matters
If the Roman Church replaced the original writings with a new version, then modern Christianity may be built on a Roman gospel — not the Hebrew faith of Yeshua and His disciples.
It’s time to go back — to the roots, the original scrolls, the forgotten teachings, and the truth before Rome rewrote the story.
