  Kill everyone who has religious views that are different than your own. Deuteronomy 17:2-7
  
  Kill anyone who refuses to listen to a priest. Deuteronomy 17:12-13
  
  Kill any false prophets. Deuteronomy 18:20
  
  Any city that doesn’t receive the followers of Jesus will be destroyed in a manner even more savage than that of Sodom and Gomorrah. Mark 6:11

  No it's not really. Christmas has been hijacked by the Christians. It's an ancient pagan celebration coinciding with the summer solstice. The solstice represents the closeness of the Sun to the earth, and the Sun is the symbol of the Solar Logos which is equal to the Christians' Christ Consciousness. Consequently anyone can enjoy this pagan day of celebrating the Solar Logos - or the Sun God, or that which represents Christ Consciousness. Also understand that because of the precession of the equinoxes there is a change in the days as the solstice day has changed. But to keep all things to some form of equalibrium and to keep the shop keepers happy, the 25th is retained.

  OK,let me lay it out for you Mark.First there was God,but he got lonely so he made Adam,then Adam got lonely so God(for some strange reason)ripped out one of Adams ribs and made Eve(Adams ribs must have been in his butt cause thats where Eve seems to have been a pain),Eve wasn't cool with what God gave them so she ate some nasty fruit and then(like the naughty girl that she was)gave some to Adam.At that point Adam realized he was naked....
  
  I haven't gotten past that point yet cause I keep wondering what Adam must have said when he realized Eve was naked Too.IMO it was something like this:Stand Back Eve cause I don't know How big this Thing is gonna get(Think about it).

  The syncretised Church of Constantine is not the only form of Christianity. There are Christians who:

  There are Christians who:
  
  Don't pray to dead saints
  Don't pray to queen of heaven
  Don't observe Sunday
  
  There are Christians who understand the New Age/pagan pride when pagans see Christians defending pagan customs by twisting bible verses to justify pagan traditions.
  
  There are Christians who understand the agenda of the antichrist and that is why we say ...SOLA SCRIPTURA.

  If you were following the thread my comments were responding to a statement which suggested that Christians might lack knowledge of the origins of pagan elements in the Christian religion.
  
  I (alas) took the bait and pointed out that not all Christians have disobeyed the Bible and conformed to the inserted traditions. Which traditions our New Age and occult friends are delighted to use to minimise the purity of the faith.
  
  I propose that all Christians should use such glaring clues as opportunities to examine the extra-biblical elements of Christendom especially post-Constantine. In other words, there is much truth to the the accusations by atheists and New Agers that Christianity has been influenced by ancient mystery religions. Even incorporated the pagan calendar into Christmas and Easter. Yea, this is true. But not altogether evil, because it gives Christianity an opportunity to tell the world about the story of Jesus. Like making the best of a less than desirable situation.
  
  It is the work of God's end time people to call out a pure church which rejects false teachings and relies on the Word of God. This calls for a work of reform and revival.

  Jewelsposted 8 years agoin reply to this
  You speak in forked tongue, I'm not really sure what you are trying to convey.
  
  The purity of spirituality was bastardized by the modern interpretations of the bible. The church is the least pure it has ever been so I'm not sure if the post modern teachings are doing any good at all. Quite the contrary. So is modern teachings and modern believers what you refer to as 'end time' people?
  
  The most substantial influence of pre-bible teachings was a cleaner and experiential understanding of spiritual worlds and that included the Solar Logos and the knowing of an impersonal state of consciousness that one aspired to reach. The personalization of God and the teachings of being saved by a third person has distanced people from the real mystery schools. Teachings passing the ability to reach high states of consciousness (on the way to Christ Consciousness), are not passed by any Christian on these religious forums. The Romans entwined with political agendas of the church ensured that the masses were divorced from the pagan teachings, primarily because they had great merit and empowered the individual. Of course disempowerment and control was the aim of the Roman Empire. And whilst I can hear the retort that savagery reigned in Pagan times, look around and you will see we are only using different weapons, the separation remains.
  
  The anti-christ will sit beautifully on the spire of the Vatican and sweep all to it's bossom, thanking the impulse of the Roman Empire's forceful manipulation as it's best chess move ever. The modern versions of the 'Word of God' as passed to the world will ensure the dark side wins, it's already winning and the religious forum is great testament to that. Ahriman is smiling at his lovely Christians who have no idea they are honoring a false god also. Absolutely no body gets to the sanctity of a place of heaven or nirvana except through their own purified selves. The Luciferic agenda is to ensure you believe it is through some external being (Jesus) that this will happen. Jesus did it himself, what makes you think you get off that easy? Ignorance creates fools. From the mouth of the enlightened one: Forgive them, they know not what they do!

  I speak from the perspective of sola scriptura so when I speak of purity i speak of sola scriptura. Your perception of ambiguity is due to your lack of understanding my perspective which is simply that the Bible is the authoritative Word of God and the only rule for faith and doctrine.
  
  I respond in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Son of the Living God, and in doing so wish to say without any chance of ambiguity that when I talk of God's end time people I am talking about the ones mentioned in Revelation 14 who keep the commandment of God and have the faith of Jesus.
  
  Yea, I'm just an old-fashioned Christian who rejects paganism and believes in the entire bible. No forked tongue here.

  Not suggesting Jesus was Pagan, but I would not lump him into a modern Christian by today's model. He would be disgusted and bemused. I am suggesting though that the Christian model was taken from existing spiritual models. Definitely.
  
  I do know genuine Christians who do understand the experiences of pagan mythology and have taken that into their own spiritual practices. In doing so their practices bring a life that does not come from scripture reading and preaching. Nor do they expect a savior to save them. I remember being so relieved to find such people as I was becoming concerned that the essence of Christianity, ie to understand Christ Consciousness within oneself and not pulled out of ones own self to adore an external false being, was lost. It isn't lost, but from what I've seen on this forum, it's such a vague concept to understand Inner work as opposed to adoring something external. That is the Luciferic agenda. Simple. And it's happening within the Christian fold. Considering the volume of Christians who follow an external doctrine, as a human race it is a great concern.

I think that this is a translation glitch.
To over simplify I think that Ezekiel 20:5 was talking about something like if the mother or father were crack heads or taking LSD that kinda thing, those iniquities would be visited upon the children for three or four generations. If the father were abusing the children this would start a cycle of abuse.

And 18:20 was referring to if the father was a thief cheat etc, and the son was righteous, the sins of the father would not be visited upon the son.

But all these fables have been debunked by historical scholars - see zeitgeist video debunked or Take the Zeitgeist Challenge. Some people even believe that the zeitgeist video was published by the Seventh Day Adventist church with hopes of gaining converts. Fat chance seeing they are trashing Christianity in general.

Not necessarily evil, however, the uselessness of many of the forums is a red flag or sign that we should be off our dairy air more often and out there helping and serving people. I include myself even though I spend twelve hours of my Sunday in my clergy duties in the service of my God and fellow man. There are still many people out there suffering and it is our obligation to go and do.

If any of us do consistently serve others I commend you. I would at the same time encourage you to continue further. Serve more in various ways. Only through losing yourself in the true service of others will you ultimately find yourself because you will have developed a unique faith and relationship with your Father in Heaven. In time as you serve you will find that your needs have been met.

Last evening I received a call from an individual not of my faith and asked me to come and administer a blessing to him. This was a great service opportunity. To help mend the broken heart. Three years ago at the break of dawn I received a call from a mother of six who's home just burned down. She begged me to come and administer to her unconscious son in the hospital. Another great opportunity. Helping a child with homework is another. The list goes on. It's called life. Service to others is religion in it's purity. Let your light so shine! : )

And, as I've noticed, Bovine actually has a point, but has failed to make everyone see, really his point.

There are some who are talking here, like it's good to do good things for the homeless and for those in need.

This is all fine and good. But, this doesn't address the underlying problem, which NO ONE is paying attention to in the first place.

The point trying to be made, even shelters, missions and other things like a pantry for food...isn't solving the problem.

And those who are here acting like it does....then you're fooling yourself, more than anything else. Because, the problem is MUCH GREATER than it appears to be.

Example: You say you're helping the homeless- but are you really....there are almost 50 MILLION Homeless in America alone.

There are ONLY 700,000 beds available Nationwide, through all sorts of organizations. So, please let's get to the underlying problem....before you decide you know what's best?

Please let's keep it real people. As for the topic- yeah there is evil in some of the people who refuse to admit when they are wrong, or when they aren't really paying attention to what's going on.

Ignorance is bliss folks. And, if people are going to be ignorant about the true power of people, then Humankind is doomed.

  I wrote a hub about the homeless ,so I do have some understanding of the facts and figures, but the point bovine failed to make was 'What is he/she doing about the problem?
  because its easy to stand back and critise , a lot more difficult to go and serve people without pay or acknowledgement ,like thousands do everyday....because they believe they serve Gods commandment to serve one another.
  
  Personally I know I cant feed the world ,but if everyone helped their neighbor, hunger and poverty would be greatly reduced IMO..

Of course people can make changes to help others. That isn't a solely 'Christian' concept, either.

  Yeah, Earnest, but that's a given. I'm not too fond of being told where to go, either. I've always known fundamentalists are nuts...obvious. But some of this stuff on these forums is beyond the pale...and doesn't strike me as honest. The (again, quote, quote) atheists here don't strike me as much better about things.
  
  There are people who have spent their lives studying and attempting to understand something maybe you cannot conceive of. Perhaps it is their path - who is to say? Who, as many here are so fond of saying, possesses "the truth?" I've been reading a lot of philosophy lately - all of the greatest thinkers have had different ideas about God. None can be described as 'religionists,' which is to say they are false thinkers:
  
  Religionist
  Noun 1. religionism - exaggerated religious zealotry
  intolerance - unwillingness to recognize and respect differences in opinions or beliefs
  
  2. religionism - exaggerated or affected piety and religious zeal
  
  It seems to me that many, many here on these forum can fit into the above definition, including the atheists.
  
  It's fine. It just honestly does bother me that people I like here are somewhat like this. And it isn't like politics - at the moment, at least in America, you can study that a little bit and basically know what actually is right. I believe spirituality to be something of an individual choice that should be respected (which is totally different than any adherence to brimstone and fire stupid indoctrination). Few here apparently see it that way.

  Please take into consideration that the OT existed before the Romans.
  
  And the NT was written largely within a hostile Roman Empire.
  
  The Church at Rome rejected pure gospel of Jesus and adopted the teachings of Simon Magus. But sola scriptura will cut through errors of Simon magus.
  
  Do you understand?
  
  God has providentially been restoring the purity even through the same Church in its early years by raising up great teachers to point them to pure gospel. Even before Reformation.
  
  Some, like Polycarp, were killed. While heretics like marcion taught errors.

  It is you who are not understanding. Please don't go down the condescending and patronizing road. Lillith used to get pissed off, now it's just tiresome!
  
  You need to understand the beginnings of the Word as the Logos and then from this point understand the meaning of Solar Logos. You need to get your head out of the literal scriptures of the Word being scriptures - it just isn't so. Then have an experience of an emanation of the Solar Logos. Then you are on your way to understanding what was known as a spiritual experience before your first transcribed bible was published. You don't have the experience because of your bible, you have the experience first, then it's written about in a book.

  Pagan mysteries were incorporated into the bible, you just have misinterpreted them and then rewritten your bible to make it more ignorant friendly. There is no strategy at all. When I spoke about the solar logos I had no intention of you having a misunderstanding between it and your sola scriptura which means the one and only book. Mind you, that is such an arrogant term for a book that has been bastardized to death since it's first writings. I do understand you, I just have no interest in what you are passing. And again, if you clearly have no intention of having experiences nor understanding the original teachings then sad day for you. The Cathars who were early christians very much understood pagan mysteries. However, in the times of the Cathars these mysteries were not mysteries. Shame they were slaughtered. How convenient!
  
  The bible is not the be all and end all of spiritual knowledge, never has been and never will be a complete teaching of what's possible.

  Sad that you can participate in a discussion without any interest in what the other party has to say.
  
  You spill paragraphs of ink talking about solar logos and when I correct you there is a total rejection of the importance of the correction. I am simply saying that the Christian who is sola scriptura will reject the extra-biblical heresies. This assertion of mine is a response to someone who said earlier that Christians dont understand the (pagan content) of the Christian religion. If the only response you can muster is to reject and disannul my point then you have no idea of the fundamental difference between the Roman school and the reformers.

  Perhaps it's the way in which you word your content. It created confusion for me, apologies if I got that wrong. Clarity required however, that when I speak of the solar logos I am not making any reference to or connection to what you brought into the conversation - sola scriptura. It's not the same thing. If you intend to replace sola scriptura over solar logos then please be aware, it's not me who needs correcting. Do you reject the "extra-bible heresies?"

  Thanks. Point taken. I could not help but thinking that you missed my earlier point.
  
  It appears that philosophically we are approaching the issue from two irreconcilable perspectives. But I appreciate the toned down language.
  
  Warning: Beware that the same old fruit from eden will promise an 'experience' which points away from God. Jesus is the way, truth and life.
  
  Check this poem on Simon Magus. The entrance of certain heresies can be traced to Simon Magus.

  WARNING: Beware that the same old fruit from Eden will promise an 'experience' which points away from God. Your Jesus is not the only way to truth and life. Get with the program glendoncaba. I'm doing very well and no thanks for your unwanted concern. That's as toned down as I want to make it. I'd much rather have the experiences of a higher state of consciousness and not be told about it. And in that department, the church fails miserably. Oh! I should say for clarity sake, the church excels at telling you, fails miserably at teaching you how to have the experiences.

  You may enjoy talking to Christian charismatics. They come closest to your paradigm as far as importance of the experience. I believe (no doubt you will say not interested in my belief etc)in spiritual life which is based on primacy of Word (logos)
