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.

If anything, Christianity appears to have been Rome's way of maintaining control over people as their empire waned. They didn't have the manpower to maintain a military presence, so they adapted the "fear of god" for their own use. Seems to have worked pretty well, considering people are still brainwashed to this day. Where, again, does the Pope reside, even now?

"To blind the gentile nations" is an interesting turn of phrase. According to the Old Testament, Proverbs 25:2
"It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings." According to the New Testament, God has concealed salvation through Jesus from the Jews until the full number of gentiles may be brought to salvation. Then the glory of the Lord shall be revealed to his chosen people, and the Jews shall be saved. Christmas may have began as a pagan winter holiday, but Christians chose to turn it for God by celebrating the birth of our Savior. While pagans may hide eggs and eat chocolate on Easter, it is the Christian celebration of God's own sacrifice of His only Son for our sins.
The New Testament teaches us to honor the teachings of the Old Testament, and to remember the history of the Jews. There's a saying: The Old Testament is the New Testament concealed, and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed. The text of the New Testament references and fulfills many of the Old Testament prophecies.
If you are willing, ask God to reveal his Truth to you. It is impossible for God to lie. With sincerity in your heart, see what He reveals to you.

Hogwash!

Your latter day church is pagan and heathen and lukewarm, but the Old Testament tells of the Trinity, the virgin birth, the Branch that is coming. The Christian church has allowed this pagan ritual holiday junk to come into it and contaminate the people.

Even in the beginning when God said, "Let us make man in our image," He wasn't talking to angels. Jesus Christ the Messiah was with God in the beginning. Christ said He was slain from the foundation of the world.

Religious man and a Christian are entirely different. The church is nothing and Christ is everything. I do not believe in the church. I believe in Christ. I go to church to fellowship with believers. But God wants me going into the world and teaching the gospel to all who will listen. God doesn't want me sitting in the church pew every Sunday just so the light bill can be paid. God is able to pay the light bill.

Yes, "Christianity" so-called is simply hijacked Judaism with pagan bells and whistles.

I'm not exactly sure where you're coming from, though, with your "G-d" spelling (because G-d forbid you actually spelled out His name), your talk of "pagan lies" and your apparent defense of the "original Hebrew scriptures" (you ARE aware that the Hebrew mythology is, in its turn, lifted from older Sumerian legends - right?). I've never understood how it is that people can destructively criticize one set of superstitions along perfectly legitimate, rational lines, and then cling to and defend another.

Paganism precedes Christianity and the idea of Satan as the "ultimate evil".

And Christian paganism is an oxymoron. How can one believe in a single god (christianity) and not believe in a single god, but believe in the spirituality of nature (paganism)?

Jesus fullfilled the following Old Testament (Hebrew) verse:

"He will see and be satisfied because of his suffering. My righteous servant will acquit many people because of what he has learned through suffering. HE will CARRY their SINS as a burden." Isaiah 53:11

The Holy Trinity explained in the first book of the Bible (the Jewish Torah):

Then God (singular) said, "Let Us (plural) make man in Our image, according to Our likeness..." Gen. 1:26

Lies are the beef and potatoes of both those religions. the biggest sin in both one in each of those id non-concept. They lie to youngsters deliberately, because adults comprehend they are mendacity. Indoctrinate youngsters to that, and produce a wide crop of idiots, like we frequently see perfect the following. Blinded by way of their "gentle".

Well that's a scholar for ya.

2Corinthians chapter 10
12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

Satan is part of Judeo-Christian mythology, not paganism.
