    The evidence and truth that Jesus died and was resurrected is overwhelming and undeniable by those who possess both faith AND reason.

    There is NO comparison to the amount of time, energy and force spent and exerted by the multitude in denying the divine nature of Jesus of Nazareth, His Ultimate Sacrifice unto death and His Glorious Resurrection which established His Supreme and Eternal Reign over Heaven and earth, conquering the evil and rebellious ones who KNOW the same and yet deny because they cannot stand for the idea of being creatures under the rule of their Creator.

    That is the original lie that led to the original sin and THAT is why Jesus is the figure MOST (by far) attacked, denigrated, slandered, diminished and denied by those who KNOWINGLY adhere to the lie or are still blinded by it.

    No other religious figure comes close to the amount of vitriol thrown in the direction of Jesus of Nazareth. The main idea being rejected is that a creature of God cannot rise to His equal standing; hence the proclamation by the original rebel:

    ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’

    This is the battle cry of anyone who denies the true nature of Jesus' Life, Death and Resurrection.

    The acceptance that the natural state of Man is in unity with God negates all the fear and guilt-mongering. Jesus being seen after allegedly dying on the Cross is plenty of evidence that he was indeed alive and even Him asking for food at the Emmaus conference too.

    I spoke to a blind fellow yesterday. He lives in assisted living and is younger by a decade than the women around him. He defers female companionship because a woman preacher has him convinced he will be raptured soon and really needs to stay clean for Jesus. I was thinking; how sad, this Futurism.

    Funny how the history of Jesus being seen alive and asking for food after the Crucifixion is accepted as GOSPEL (pun intended) but the idea of Him being resurrected in a Glorified Body, which is also promised to those who trust in Him and accept His Sacrifice for our redemption, is regarded as the doctrine of fear and guilt-mongering.

    Conflating the false doctrine of futurism and "rapture" with the faith of the orthodox saints who followed Jesus' teachings and commands is typical misdirection for those invested in denying Jesus' true nature. The teachings of the modern charismatic, pentecostal, evangelical, et al so-called "christians" who adopt the heresy of futurism created by the Roman Church's Jesuit order is very sad indeed.

    What is sadder is the yoking together of things that are not related.

    The sad truth for some is: God will grant one what one wishes. He is NOT is the business of forced obedience and worship - God is pro-choice.

    Gnostic Essenes who cleverly corrupted the pre- Canon New Testament through writing alternative but false gospels side by side with the heresy of inventing the false Messianic bloodline maintained through Jesus’ alleged sons. The Essenes were followers and the guardians of the Davidic Messianic bloodline and of a mortal Jesus in particular. Aminadbad, who was the son of Josue, son of Josephes, son of Jesus. It was Faramund and Argotta that begat Clodiu, who begat Meroveus, who begat Childeric, who begat Clovus, the founder of the official Merovingian dynasty. This background lends itself harmoniously with the Merovingians’ belief they were descended from Jesus, as well as others holding royal pedigrees of the highest and most royal orders.The Fisher Kings, the Merovingians, were a numinous dynasty mythologized to have possessed mystical power to communicate with animals, manipulate the weather, and heal the sick by the touching of hands, just as Jesus did. They wore their hair very long, never cutting it, in the tradition of the scriptural Israeli Nazarites, the most famous of whom was Samson, who the Merovingians and Gnostics held in curiously high esteem. All of the Merovingians possessed a curious red, cross- shaped birthmark located either above the heart or between the shoulder blades,representing their true heritage. Merovingians were sorcerer kings in the same spirit as King Solomon, with his judgment and wisdom, as well as his (alleged) prowess as a (Masonic) mystical magician in the Ring Lord tradition. The Merovingian kings were extravagant polygamists after the spirit of the pharaohs, Davidic, the Nephilim, Lamech, and of course, Solomon.This is the battle cry of anyone who denies the true nature of Jesus' Life, Death and Resurrection.At every interest its Jesus and segments of the New Testament accredited to Paul’s authorship, from which the Christian church takes most of its new covenant doctrine. Paul is classified as the Evil Liar or the Heretic, stemming from the Dead Sea Scrolls concerning the Essenes and the Teacher of Righteousness, described as the “Spouter of Lies” and the “Unscrupulous Liar” of the early church. Paul is described as the one who corrupted the religion of the early church centered in Jerusalem, along with doctrines taught by the Gnostic Teacher of Righteousness. In fact, Mandaeans and Manicheans believed Paul was a false prophet, who led his disciples away from the true religion; they believed Paul’s false religion was not based on the true teachings of John the Baptist (and the mentor of Jesus), who they believed.

    The Jerusalem church led by James is portrayed to be the mystical Essene religion. Gnostics assert that it was Paul who besmirched the teachings of Jesus with his so- called heretical doctrines, which took root after the demise of the Jerusalem church in 70 C.E., when the church center was transferred to Rome, under Roman influence and Pauline doctrine. In fact, in 318 C.E., according to Gnostic sources, a delegation of Jesus’ immediate descendants, the Desposyni, traveled to Rome to argue the church should be transferred back to Jerusalem, back to its mystic roots, but Constantine refused. So, too, do Gnostic writers remember Mary Magdalene and her heirs opposing the Roman apostolic succession of Peter, in favor of James and the Jerusalem church. 15 In this tradition, Mary Magdalene was an Essene priestess who married Jesus.

    Under this guise, Masonic and Gnostic writers refer to Paul as the Liar; the Heretic; and the enemy of Jesus’ brother, James the Just, who supposedly was one of the Teachers of Righteousness portrayed in the Dead Sea Scrolls. What the Gnostics are endeavoring to accomplish is to ascertain that it was Paul who proclaimed the divinity of Jesus and not Jesus or any of the disciples who formed the early Jerusalem church, that Paul stood alone in this assertion. Gnostics believe that the deviant Pauline sect maliciously elevated Jesus to deity status and that those who are loyal to the Vatican are heretics. The elevation of Jesus to deity is said to have taken place after the crucifixion by his corrupted followers from the Pauline sect. The Gnostics believe Jesus did not come to sacrifice Himself as the Lamb of God for the sins of the world. They assert that Jesus was sent to humankind as an enlightened, spiritual guide, in the same ideology as Buddha and Mohammed, to teach humankind enlightened secrets, aiding us in our evolution to godhood.Christ they never wanted him around when he was living but a great friend now that he,s dead? Earthly dead that is just for inheritance if your a Merovingian King Once the Christian Crusaders retook Jerusalem, an unanticipated, new order, sponsored by Mason/Rex Deus organizations, was unaccountably ordained by Papal Bull. This order was, of course, the Knights Templar, which originally consisted of nine founding members from European aristocracy; although, Rex Deus records indicate there were eleven. The original nine were not the poor, impoverished monks revisionist history would have us believe. All nine, or eleven, derived from important, royal Flemish and French families.

    Re: Solomon, Sorcery and "Mystical Practices"

    For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father. 1 Kings 11:4
    Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother. But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way. Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold. --Deuteronomy 17:17
    If perchance there were any truth to the idea of Solomon having practiced sorcery, such practice was against the Mosaic law, would not be applauded and would likely pertain to his heart having been turned away. Nothing in the OT would give thumbs up to Solomon having been tipped into idolatry.

    For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father. Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods. --1 Kings 11:5-8
    Ashtoreth being representative of the productive (or passive) principle of life; and Baal being representative of the generative (or active) principle.

    The image which represents the Phoenician Ashtoreth of Paphos, as the sole object of worship in her temple, was an upright block of stone, anointed with oil, and covered with an embroidered cloth.

    Such stones are to be met with all over the Semitic world; especially in Babylonia, in Syria, Palestine and Arabia. Even the Mahommedan sacred stone (kaaba) at Mecca remains an object of reverence.

    The place Beth-el was so called because of its anointed stone. There was another Beth-el in Northern Israel.

    Two columns of stone stood before every Phoenician temple. Those at Tyre are described by Herodotus (ii. 44); and the "pillars of the sun" are mentioned in 2 Chronicles 34:4. Isaiah 17:8, etc.

    Like every form of "religion," it had to do with the "flesh;" and hence, by the law of evolution (which is seen operating only in human affairs) it soon became corrupted. Evolution is seen in the progress of man's works, because he begins from ignorance, and goes on learning by his mistakes and failures. From the moment he ends his works devolution at once sets in and
    deterioration begins. This is specially true in the "religious" sphere. All religions have become corrupt.

    So with the 'Asherah. Originally a tree, symbolical of the "tree of life," it was an object of reverence and veneration. Then came the perversion of the earlier idea which simply honoured the origin of life; and it was corrupted and debased into the organ of procreation, which was symbolized by the form and shape given to the 'Asherah. It was the Phallus image of Isaiah 57:8, and the "image of the male", Ezekiel 16:17. (source)
    Whether or not Solomon dabbled in black magic or sorcery, such practices would find absolutely zero OK in the scriptures. Such would likely stem from his having his heart turned away into into idolatry. Saying "Solomon did it" doesn't make it OK.

    I recall a TV series that depicted the Book of James being preserved by a tower monastery of a special sect of intellectual priests... The name might come to me and I can probably find that on YouTube. I want to watch it again. I think the episode about James killed the serial though.

    Xparte; you bring back my reading years. I read The Guardians of the Grail by JR CHURCH and Holy Blood, Holy Grail and sure enough The DaVinci Code - I discovered that one hot off the press, so it seemed like a personal message because I had devoured it, even before it was known to be such a hit.

    And so we relate once again to the Bible.

    Paul's heresy against Israel is plain by his last five years in house prison in Rome, fleeing capital punishment from the Sanhedrin. Christians like to say that Paul was in trouble for teaching Christianity but that is obviously untrue because he answered the question by saying he taught the Noachide Laws to the pagans in Asia Minor. So the Sanhedrin was appeased.

    He was in trouble for treason against Israel, his Roman citizenship papers but more so for perjury. - Paul lied to the Sanhedrin about purchasing the papers at all; to the point he told the Sanhedrin, under oath, that his ship in fact never even docked in Cyprus at all. But you have all heard that...

    [re: original sin (12th century): 12 minute and 21 second mark]


    Where Did the Doctrine of Original Sin Come From?
    I don't suspect BL to be a Roman Catholic. AFAIK forgiveness and mercy, rather than guilt, are at the heart of the NT and the OT.

    Israel was in exile at the time. Judah (a subpart of Israel) as a state, it is said, was coming to its end. Edom/Esau enemies of Israel and Judah (subpart of Israel) had taken chief positions in Judah after Hyrcanus forced integrated Edom/Esau into Judah. It is a matter of record that the Herods were Edomites. It has been suggested that Edom had come into alliance with Canaan and Ishmael.

    Also, the scepter departed from Judah around 0 AD. Rabbinic Writings evidence this. This is further evidenced by the fact that the Judeans who wanted Jesus dead had to turn him over to the Romans to punish him.

    But is it not interesting Mani and Simon Magus claimed to be Holy God, Christ, etc. but they had no problem with that? Simon Magus was made out to be a God in Rome some suggest.

    re: Original Sin
    The worst sins in Manichean thinking were the sexual sins, because they resulted in more souls of light becoming imprisoned in evil bodies. According to Manichaeism, mankind was divided into three separate groups of people: the Sinners, the Hearers and the Elect. The Elect were obliged to refrain from all things that bound them to the material world: certain foods, sexual intercourse and manual labor. They were certain to obtain salvation once they died. The Hearers had to observe the same restrictions only on Sundays.

    The Manicheans called themselves Christians, which made it easier for someone raised Catholic to see himself as an adherent of something that was really Christianity...

    NO ONE Before Augustine taught that man was Born a Sinner or that his Free Will was in bondage to his flesh. Such Teaching came from the Gnostics!

    Trespass vs Sin since registered religion gives one the license to sin/ Sodom and Gomorrah lacking any Church what a Sin You still think Christ was to die for OT Sins. Perhaps Sodom and Gomorrah were the centers for apostasy, where impassioned fallen angels once more procreated with human females out of spite. Perhaps all this was the extended reasoning for such an awesome display of destruction poured out on those corrupt cities, as a sign to future generations demonstrating God’s indignation and consider that Jude 1:6 connects sexual perversion of Sodom with sexual perversion of angels From a Gnostic perspective, Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by the God of the Bible not for their wickedness but because of their wisdom and insights. Gnostics believe the God of the Bible is the evil God who enslaves humankind in ignorance. or might it be freewill is knowing and ignoring the one God.

    The irony is that Gnostics promoted warmongering as a doctrine: wars fought based on hearsay that cause death and destruction on a large scale. Iraq (and its CEO who protected Christians and others alike) was devastated based on hearsay and armchair reactions. But yet, they slander a God who gave Jericho 500 years to change course.

    “Merovingians were sorcerer kings in the same spirit as King Solomon, with his judgment and wisdom, as well as his (alleged) prowess as a (Masonic) mystical magician in the Ring Lord tradition.”
    FREE MASONRY AND ODD FELLOWSHIP Royal Arch Masonry (https://www.google.com/search?q=Roya...l+Arch+Masonry) To him belongs the credit of framing the American system of Royal Arch Masonry as it now exists. A second edition of the Monitor was issued in Providence in 1802 and he became a member of St. John's lodge. He was elected to all the high offices in the Grand Lodge of the State—Junior Grand Warden in 1802; Senior Grand Warden in 1803; Deputy Grand Master in 1811, and Grand Master in 1813. In 1801 he was elected High Priest of the Providence Royal Arch Chapter, and held many other positions of high honor in the Order. The establishment of the Grand Encampment of Knights Templar was his crowning Masonic labor. In 1815 he removed to Boston, and died suddenly in Cleveland, Ohio, on July 6, 1819. See “Freemasom in Rhode Island,” pp.76-81.
