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.

Any good christian studies the old testament as much as the new, and all the writers of the new testament (not to mention Jesus himself) were jewish. Nowhere does it say not read the old testament. It says that Jesus is the fulfillment of the law, not the end of it.
The trinity is not three God's. That is a shameful misunderstanding touted by people who have not read the bible, or have not paid careful attention to the OLD TESTAMENT. Father son and holy spirit are one, as your eyes , mouth and hands are all one you. Read Genesis and you will find God referring to himself in the plural. You will find the hebrews of the old testament understood that they were waiting for God to come to them in the form of a human. You will find that everything in the new was prophesied in the old. If you read your history you will find that the new testament was written in greek, latin and arabic because these were the languages spoken at the time. Latin,because the roman empire was in control of the holy land, greek because that was the language used in writing along with latin, and arabic because that was the language of the common people. Matthew mark and john were written in the common language, Luke and The Pauline letters in Latin and greek because they were learned men ( and in the case of paul, a jewish roman citizen.)
Please do youself a favor and learn the facts from reliable sources. Go out there and read, and pay attention to WHO writes what you read,and what their alterior motives may be. As for the pagan links to christmas and easter, etc...These were not instated by the bible. Remember, these people were jews and you will find them practicing jewish holidays into the new testament. God gave us the bible and PEOPLE screwed it up.

Your question violates the question and answer format of YA. I am not going to report you but I think you should know. You have expressed an opinion. Even if the opinion is not yours, the fact that you used it is tantamount to the same thing.

Let us assume that your assumptions are correct. Will I go to hell for believing in the Trinity? Will I go to hell if I have an Easter egg hunt for my granchildren? Will I go hell for celebrating the birth of Christ on December 25?

Peace and blessings!

In modern terms, and the Christians own words and terms, they worship a God with Multiple Personality and Dissociative Identity Disorders that won't give Its true name.

Jews have always denied Jesus. If they are right, then they are right, but if they are wrong, as I believe that they are, who gives a crap what their scholars believe. Christian Bible scholars have a different view.

As for the muslims, they believe that an evil pedophile is a prophet, that if they kill for Mohammad, they will have 72 virgins waiting for them in paradise, and that killing innocent people is a good thing, so I do not give a crap about one thing that they think.

I do wonder what the 72 virgins do to deserve to be stuck with one piece of evil crap.

Muslims respect Jesus as a prophet, so why can't they accept when he spoke about the Holy Trinity? Keep in mind that the Christian Gospels predate the Koran by atleast 600 years. So the Christian Gospels are accurate in what Jesus Christ taught.

well, being an american human being myself, i have noticed that those things are regulary occurring events that are wondeful exuses for the family to get to gether and ponder about things and what not, so, stop trying to critisize the happy family get togetherdness, cause its annoying, and furthermore...there really is nothing wrong in association with those holidays, only really twisted individuals in certain instances.

Why is it so hard to believe in three distinct persons with one personality. If you've met one you've met them all.
It is much easier to have a relationship with three persons who have one personality than it is to have relationship with one person who has three personalities or even three persons with their own personality.
And having a relationship with one person with one personality is exactly the same as having a relationship with three person who have the same personality.

They also say Jesus was not the Christ and we don't agree on that point either.
