The "New Testament": Pagan revenge

Between G-d's own miracles and the Jewish teaching of His Word, the pagan priesthoods of Egypt, Greece, and Rome were steadily losing their power over the gentile populations. They decided to fight back by creating a new religion, one that would claim to be the fulfillment of the Hebrew "Old Testament," yet would bring back the pagan lies in a new disguise.

Thus the "New Testament" was written, in Greek rather than Hebrew, and attached to the original Hebrew scriptures to try to change their meaning back toward paganism.

The "New Testament" tried to change G-d from One, as in the Hebrew scriptures, into a "trinity" as in Egyptian cults or the eastern religions of Hinduism and Buddhism. It described Jesus as G-d in a human body, like the pagans always described Pharoah and other wicked kings. It declared G-d's Law to be a "curse" that no one can truly obey, announced that there must be a "mediator" between G-d and man, and pretended that salvation could now be achieved outside the Law.

To blind the gentile nations, the "New Testament" also warned people not to learn from the Jews, declaring that Israel no longer possessed the true, complete Word of G-d.

In the Bible, the book of Daniel warned of an evil power--a false religion--that would believe in the true "G-d of fortresses... plus a god its fathers did not know." This religion would "speak bizarre words about the Most High, wear out the holy ones (the Jews), and plan to change the festivals and the religious Law."7 The Christian Church has indeed replaced Passover with Easter (the pagan holiday of Astarte and Ishtar) and Hanukah with Christmas (the pagan winter holiday).

Since then, Christian paganism has expanded to include Christmas trees, Easter eggs, and so forth.

My girlfriend of 6 years and I have been having some trust issues. About 6 months ago she needed some "help" from a guy I didn't like to get on with a company. She was hiding text messages, and calls, and things like that. We talked it out and was fine.. well now she wants to do a ride along with him..

She did one last week and is doing another one. All I asked of her was not to ride with him, I'm not controlling, I just don't trust the guy. She says she couldn't choose who she rode with, but 2 weeks in a row she's riding with him??

Tonight we made plans, I would get off early and come over. Well I go to her house and she has went to do another ride along without giving me a heads up... until 3 a.m. with this guy.

What do I do? We've talked about it but I dunno anymore.. is she cheating?

I've just finished all the Pendergast novels by Preston and Childs and loved them. I also really enjoy Marcus Davenport from the Prey novels by John Sandford, the Harry Bosch novels by Michael Connelley, and the work of W.E.B Griffin. Unfortunately, I'm fully up to date.

Other authors/series I might find interesting?

Thanks in advance!!!

How bad is jogging for your knees? I've heard both good and bad about it. My knees aren't the best but I'm really pleased with jogging's simplicity. If I have to find another work out I'll be dissappointed. But for anyone who has knowledgeable information, please be honest. I wonder how much damage I'm doing by jogging....

thank you

Yes Valerie Plame was a covert officer working in the field of weapons of mass destruction for the Bush administration.

It's a matter of Congressional record in her testimony before Congress ...confirmed by her superiors!!

Isn't this event possibly damaging the other officers and National Security?

Shouldn't the 'outer' be prosecuted?

I thought the President said that he would hold White House officials accountable for this?!?!

A bible is a collective of laws, events, judgements, etc. that certain people have complete faith in. Our US Constitution and Declaration of Independence aren't much different. My point is that everyone believes in something higher. You see many politicians, no Uncle Sam. Many ministers...you get the point. Is there a such thing as a nonbeliever?

An aquaintance of mine went in for her mammogram about a week or two ago and just got a call to come in for a second one. Is this out of the ordinary or does this sometimes happen? I have had a couple of people tell me that it CAN NOT be good. But are there circumstances that might cause the doctors to need a second look without it being bad news?

Do they ever think about all those other gods and wonder if they've really chosen the right one? I mean, how could they know, right? What if they chose the wrong god and the wrong meaning to life? I think that, if I chose the wrong god, I'd be suicidal.

I came home from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and went to the bathroom. I found a bunch of blood in my underwear. It was really thick and went right through but luckily not through my shorts.
I'm afraid to tell my mom though I was thinking I should just wait until this one is over and keep sneaking her pads and wait until next month to tell her. It doesn't hurt, I don't have any cramps but I keep finding this thick red stuff in my crack and it's kind of gross. It's my first time I'm only 12 and I think I'm handling it really well but I'm afraid to tell my mom.

Voltaire, a French author, humanist, rationalist (1694 - 1778), held up a copy of the Bible in the air and smugly proclaimed,

"In 100 years this book will be forgotten and eliminated...".

Shortly after his death, Voltaire’s private residence became the headquarters of the Geneva Bible Society and became a major distribution hub for the very Bible he assigned to extinction.

I thought this was kind of funny.
