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.

Well, they do have a point. The trinity is not included anywhere in the bible.

John 14:28: "You heard me say, 'I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I."

1Timothy 2:5: "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"

As far back as Babylonia, the worship of pagan gods grouped in threes was common. This influence was also evident in Egypt, Greece, and Rome in the centuries before, during, and after Christ. After the death of the apostles, many nontrinitarians contend that these pagan beliefs began to invade Christianity.

No, we just read from the Hebrew book of Genesis that Elohim created the heavens and earth. Last I checked the word Elohim is plural, which means "the Gods" (Google it and you will see, or better yet check any concordance book). Continue reading in the first chapter of Genesis and you will see the term "us" in reference to the Gods coming down to visit Adam and Eve. The plurality of Gods is taught in the beginning of the Bible. The rest of the Bible supports the teaching by saying that one of those Gods is more important to us, so we worship Him.

So before you get on your soap box again, read the Jewish book of Genesis and do a study of the wording used. You will be surprised at how much truth is in the Bible that is ignored by most major religions, including our friends the Jews.

In the UK Jewish people in my experience don't make an issue of it; they are not at all pushy about their faith.

There are many passages in the Old Testament that could give them pause to thought. The orthodox tend to follow the "traditions of the elders" very much - i.e what scholars like Rashi said a long time ago; unfortunately that filters what they believe.

Eg the Spirit of God is mentioned in many places. Also God appears in human form a number of times. Also one of the names of God - Elohim - is plural. Some of prophecies about Messiah appear to indicate He will be divine.

No, True Christians agree with Jesus when he says we must come to know the only true God, and Father.

No, True Christians agree with John, Peter, and Paul when they say we are to know the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

No, True Christian do not believe in a trinity, nor do they practice other pagan forms of worship.

I really don't except them to understand I don't know if you can. I'll try to help you see what we are saying.

The dimension of space are height, width and breadth. Each of these dimensions is infinite and by that definition each contains all space. Yet these dimensions make up one space. In this, God, revels to us how His nature exists.
The Father is God he is all the God that there is. The Son (Jesus) is God He is all the God there is. The Holy Spirit is God and again all the God that there is. Yet these person are the ONE true God.. IHS Jim

No, we love the Jewish people. God is always represented as a triune Spirit in the scriptures. In the Jewish text also.

If they aren't 'uncomfortable' then why have the Christian Missionaries tried to convert us for the last 2000 years through bribles, lies, scams and violence?

Three in one seems quite clear to me - 3 of a kind - 3 gods.
