Easter History - What your pastor doesn't want you to know! 2 of 2

[MuchTooLearnUSH]

"If we would only read the scriptures"...sad and so true! Unfortunately, the 'enemy' of YHWH and mankind has snookered most everyone into not doing so....

[hortont3]

You have done an outstanding explanation of the origins of Easter as they really are; Pagan. Most people simply do not recognize the need for their form of worship to be based on Truth as presented in the Bible ( John 4:23,24 ) Sadly most will not listen as Jesus said ( Luke 13:24 ) Based on the bible the only thing Christ told us to observe every year is his death. That is what atones for our sins. 1 Corinthians 11:25.26. There is actually no mention of a resurrection celebration at all.

[TiborasaurusRex]

@hortont3 There is mention of a resurrection celebration. Christ's resurrection was a precise fulfillment of the First Fruits Offering, that we are instructed to keep every year forever. Jesus said that not one jot or title shall pass from the Law (Nomia = Torah) till heaven and earth pass away. Observing the First Fruits in the new light of His ressurection is obeying Christ.

[hortont3]

@TiborasaurusRex You brought out some good points in your video. The hearts of people have a hard time letting go of a celebration that has been passed down to them for centuries. The bible does show on Nissan 14 that Christ laid down his life as a perfect man for us and it was done on the same day as the Jewish Passover; hence Christ became the Passover Lamb for us. You can find this at Luke 22:19,20 and to show that it was his death that was observed it is found at 1 Corinthians 11:23-26

[TiborasaurusRex]

@hortont3 SPOT-ON, brother. Excellent commentary.

[hortont3]

@TiborasaurusRex Well the firstfruits celebration was part of the Mosaic Law. Remember Christ is the end of that law, so that we are no longer obligated to do things such as sacraficing a sheep or a bull or observing the Jewish observances. Romans 7:6; Romans 10:4. So there is still only one thing that Jesus himself told us to observe and that is his Death. 1Corinthians 11:25.26. Please check out what hstory says of the early Christians. No Resurrection celebration at all.

[TiborasaurusRex]

@hortont3 Messiah begs to differ, the law has not ended. Christ himself said "Until heavens and earth pass away not one jot or tittle shall in no wise pass from any of the Law or the Prophets until ALL is fufilled" Its was the 'ceirografon dogmata' (our letter of sin debt) that was nailed to the cross. Even Paul said in Acts 18: "I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem" Our sin debt is paid, but the law and the prophets remain untill heavens and earth pass away.

[hortont3]

@TiborasaurusRex I agree with you that everything in the Law and the Prophets had to be fulfilled (Matthew 5:17) So it stood that not one letter of the law or prophets passed away until there fulfillment. And Christ Jesus did fulfill them. Please check out 2 Corinthians 3:7-15. Romans 7:6 Ephesians 2:15 And again Romans 10:4. The First Century Christians had a hard time letting go of the Law also not realising that Christ had fulfilled it. please check out Acts chapter 15:1-11

[TiborasaurusRex]

@hortont3 My question is: Has heavens OR the Earth passed away??? Not just yet. Messiah clearly said: “not one jot or title shall IN NO WISE pass from the Law TILL HEAVEN AN EARTH PASS away.”

Also: Has EVERYTHING been fulfilled??? Has Messiah returned in full power and glory? Has New Jerusalem come down from the sky? Has Messiah yet cast the dragon into the lake of fire? No. Only HALF of the Law and HALF of the Prophets have been fulfilled at this point. The Law still stands, as He said.

[hortont3]

@TiborasaurusRex The context of Matthew 5:17 is about Heaven and Earth would sooner pass away then the Law to go unfullfilled. You may want to check out Luke 16:16,17. My question for you is how are you explaining the scriptures that I have shared with you Romans 7:6; Romans 10:4 Ephesians 2:15; Don't those scriptures speak for themselves? Jesus was using Hyperbole at Matthew 5:17 - For he always quoted the scriptures and knew about Ecclesiastes 1:4; Psalm 78:69; Psalm 104:5.

[TiborasaurusRex]

@hortont3 Romans 7? Dude, you REALLY have to read the whole passage! At the end he explains himself: “I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.” >>> The BAD law = the law of sin, the GOOD Law = the law of God.

If you disembody single verses from their contexts, we get all messed up. We must read the entire letter, to understand its context. The Law of God is good. The law of sin is bad.

[TiborasaurusRex]

@hortont3 To make Paul's stance of God's Law clear, He said the following in Romans 10: “What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid...Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good…For we know that the law is spiritual.”

Paul is comparing and contrasting 2 different laws! 1 is really bad and 1 is good. If we continue to select tiny sound bites from these letters, we will twist these letters to our own destruction JUST AS PETER WARNED.

[hortont3]

@TiborasaurusRex Exactaly we should not select soundbites. However we should use the scriptures for the basis of our faith. Do the scriptures say that Christ Fulfilled the Law at Romans 10:4? I am hoping you will consider all of the scriptures that I am sharing with you including this one at Galatians 3:13,19, 23-25. Jesus di release us from the law by his death. He fulfilled every prophesy written about the messiah. And nowhere is scripture do they celebrate his resurrection.

[hortont3]

@TiborasaurusRex Exactaly, we should not select soundbites. However we should use the scriptures for the basis of our faith. Do the scriptures say that Christ Fulfilled the Law at Romans 10:4?

[TiborasaurusRex]

@hortont3 My dear brother, I love the scriptures. You are partly correct, Christ fufilled the SPRING feasts of the Lord and half of the prophecies. However, we still await His return and the fufillment of the FALL feasts of the Lord. Paul does NOT talk about God's law in the negative, in the Greek there are many other laws besides God's Law. When he slams the law, he's usually talking about dogmatas (man-made laws). Paul never tears down God's Law, but rather sais, "We establish the Law".

[TiborasaurusRex]

@hortont3 Where in scripture do they celebrate his resurrection? It was celebrated for 1500 years in advance. Leviticus 23 outlines the basics of how they did it. Its all over in the scriptures. In the NT, they celebrate the Feats of Shavuot, remember? And Paul couldn't wait to celebrate the spring feasts, especailly AFTER their fufillment in Christ(see Act 18:21). The resurrection was celebrated as the Bikariim Harvest every year until Constantine signed the Edict of Milan & stopped it.

[hortont3]

@TiborasaurusRex Leviticus 23:5 is the Passover which represented the passing the angel passing over the houses of the Israelites that had the blood on the doors. Christ became that passover lamb at his death. And he instituted that observance at Luke 22:19,20. Paul remindes us as much at 1 Corinthians 11:23-26. Acts 18:21 is not talking about any celebration at all. I think you meant some other scripture. The Jews may have kept the celebration but the Christians did not. Show me please.

[TiborasaurusRex]

@hortont3 Revelation chapter 22 (the last chapter in the whole Bible) makes it abundantly clear, so none of us have any excuse to get this confused:

"Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city."

Our crazy idea that God's Law is now ‘irrelevant’ is proof that we are NOT reading the Word for ourselves, but letting twisted devils behind pulpits and in demons in seminaries do our thinking for us.

[TiborasaurusRex]

@hortont3 People twist Paul’s writings beyond all comprehension. We are 'trained' to rearrange sentence fragments from Paul’s letters into these wicked doctrines that do away with all that God has instructed us. Do we not think God Almighty is still capable of giving us any good advice for how to live life? What is the church smoking?? We like the idea that we can toss away the law, because we have filthy lusts for sin and we rationalize everything to serve it.

[hortont3]

@TiborasaurusRex Yes I do agree with you on that note. Many people love the idea of doing whatever they want especially when it comes to the desires of the flesh. On the other hand just because the law is done away with does not mean that God has given us an excuse. Living by faith still has requirements. Galatians 5:19, 20 and Galatians 6:7,8 show the results of that way of thinking. However Galatians 5:22-24 contrast those living by Gods' spirit.

[TiborasaurusRex]

@hortont3 Jesus was just using Hyperbole???? Nice try. If you accuse Jesus of of that here to suit your lawless desires, what is stopping you from saying that about any of the other scriptures you don't like? You tred very thin ice. He who teaches men to break God's commandments is in for a harsh lash come the judgment. If you now want to argue against Jesus, do it by yourself.

In His sobering words: "Depart from me, I never knew you. You who work INIQUITY (lawlessness)."

[hortont3]

@TiborasaurusRex How am I teaching anyone to break Gods commandments? Did you actually read Galatians 5:19,20 and Galatians 6:7,8? And then Galatians 5:22,23? I am in no way condoning disobeying God at all. I believe what is says at Galatians 6:7,8 and beg for Gods help to not live in accord with the doing whatever because it feels good at the time. I noticed that my comment is no longer there about Galatians. So I wonder do you really want to know the scriptures?

[jhrush1]

You did an outstanding job on this video!! It is very hard to find somebody tells it the way it needs to be told. My wife and i started our walk in the hebrew roots 2005 and since then almost nobody wants to hear this stuff. Something else i have tried to tell people is that you can't get three days and three nights from good friday easter sunday. Most people don't want to find out for themselves, they want their paster to tell them what they should do.

John

[TiborasaurusRex]

@jhrush1 We are supposed to cry out against the abominations in the land. I read Eziekiel 9, and it was a real motivator to do something. If we love them, we can't just sit idle while our brothers and sisters walk this dangerous path. Yeah most of us are lost sheep, and we have no idea who to follow. We follow anyone who seems like they know where they're going. God forbid they open and read the instructions God gave or look at Messiah's example. The best policy is: Follow God, NOT man.

[jdb0905]

AMEN!!! Even before I found faith in Yahshua I wondered why the church embraced Easter and Christmas. The world embraces these things. In the book of Exodus YHWH told the children of Israel to not speak of other gods. I could not count the times I have heard "Easter worship service" or "Easter church service." It is one thing to do something out of ignorance. But, when you knows the truth and reject it, you will be held accountable for it. Therefore I embrace the feasts of Yahweh instead.

[TiborasaurusRex]

@jdb0905 - Right on. YHWH's feasts blow away the filthy pagan counterfeits anyway. He is the one who tells us how to throw a REAL party. Christmas and Ishtar fade away quickly when one embraces the celebrations He instructed us to do.

[jdb0905]

@TiborasaurusRex Absolutely! I just started being Torah observant believer in Yahshua as the Messiah. If me being a redneck kid out of eastern KY can see the truth then anyone can!

[TiborasaurusRex]

@jdb0905 - Messiah picked out a variety of dudes to hang with and he continues to do so. Some are backwoods fisherman, some are hard core angry zealots, some are govt tax collectors. We are all goof balls in our own ways, he invites everyone but only a few choose to come in. peace man

[eli10d1]

Thankyou brother, ive only recently been saved and i appreciate truth, God bless you

[DevotedTruth]

I'm sorry but some of you fell right into Satan's plan, he don't need you to believe in him, he just needs you NOT to believe in God. So he makes up all this fake stuff "imitating" Jesus to throw people off and start believing He don't exist.. However this is false, Satan is real and so is Jesus, and it is a fight for our souls, one for preservation, one for production...

[TiborasaurusRex]

@DevotedTruth - well put

[XpistosRules]

Whoops misread TriborasaurusRex

[XpistosRules]

@TribosaurusRex, it seems that exactdigital would rather call Jesus a myth than admit that he has sin that requires Christ's own sacrifice for payment (like the rest of us humans), and would rather hate God than spend eternity with Him. Can't show some people anything when they are so set in their ways.

[TiborasaurusRex]

@XpistosRules - I think someone claiming to love God grossly misrepresented the simplicity and beauty of YHWH's love to him at one time and turned him away. I sincerely care for the man behind 'exactdigital' and hope that one day YHWH softens his heart as He did mine. I was in the same boat as exactdigital once and I know how hard it is to see the Truth with a hardened heart. Lets pray that all who are hardened are given new eyes so they can truely see the Love of the God they fiercly resist.

[earthangelmaggie]

@XpistosRules T. REX DUDE, Pray for him, love him as Jesus loves him and never give up. Keep fighting the good fight. I believe in your cause as it is mine. There is an inner happiness (and much more) that we have in ALL circumstances in life that we want all to know.

[DevotedTruth]

4 People are either in denial or love to live lies to avoid the truth.

[exactdigital]

I am number 5, can't speak on the other four, I sir, take nothing at Face Value, if I did I would still be chasing bunnies that laid eggs, a Man in a red suit, and a myth named Jesus. The Egyptian Myth story of Heru, whom the Greeks called Horus was the Origin of the one Christian's call Jesus. If you are clear on languages then you are aware that the "J" is an "H". Bethlehem is a suburb what country? Jerusalem. HERUsalem. Meaning the Heru of Peace. The TRUTH is hidden in plain site.

[debidebs1]

to be honest and this is just me but i don't care that you are using the word crap. as long as you are saying the truth which is what you're doing i don't care what word you use.. and I Thank Jesus for people like you that seek the truth and share it . alot of people do things these days and do not know the reason behind it, the biggest enemy against the church is not the devil but it is ignorance

[earthangelmaggie]

@debidebs1 If you enjoy using words that set you apart from Jesus, that's your issue, and I wish you well. As Christians we have a duty in what we say and do as representations of Jesus Christ.

[debidebs1]

@earthangelmaggie crap is not a bad word it is a slang word for rubbish....

[earthangelmaggie]

@debidebs1 Then use the word rubbish, that's all I am saying. C%$@ is not the worst word in the world, but I am just saying since this is currently a freeish country we can still say what we feel, this is how I feel as a represent-er of Jesus. You wont change my values as they come from those taught in the Bible. The world is ALWAYS judging us, don't give them any fuel, that's all I am saying. Peace be with you friend, In His service, Angel

[bigblurr]

I think that the real reason that we celebrate these ancient traditions is because Christianity in itself is the combination of all of the major religions existing in the Roman empire at the time of the Council of Nicea. Christianity in its truest form, is gnosticism, which is the seeking of knowledge. No historical account of Jesus can be made aside from the plagiarism of Josephus. Jesus was nothing more than the experience his followers had while having ingested the amanita muscaria mushroom

[TiborasaurusRex]

@bigblurr - You are right about mainstream Christianity. As for "Jesus", the reason there is no early historical record is beacuse his name was changed. Yah'shua was the name of the Messiah <His existence is one of the most solid facts in history. Literally thousands of texts confirm his walking the planet, even Roman military records. "Jesus" was later created to suit the new heavily Paganized religion "christianity". Yah'shua HaMeshiach was never a Christian, he was a Jew his whole life

[Masterfixalot]

The more I read the comments, the more I shake my head at you people. What is it to you if we Believe or not? Some of us decide we want to know more about things and share them with others. We take the time to search and dig and root out information and other facts, only to have people like you, who sit there watching reruns of some sitcom instead of cracking open a book once in a while, come watch our videos and refute the things we say. YOU chose to watch and listen. Go learn something.

[extrapressure]

the first part of this documentary was alot more unbiased.

[TiborasaurusRex]

@extrapressure - Yeah, I admit I am biased. I would take YHWH over Ishtar every time. 

[extrapressure]

@TiborasaurusRex the five point star has been used in various ways throughout history from pagan religion to demonic worship. however is it fair to say that if a little girl has dora the explorer with the monkey, moon and a smiling five point star on her bag, are you saying that bag has a demonic symbol on it? that is essentially what your saying in this video, that the context doesn't matter, only the origin. the origin of the pagan istar is evil, but contempory easter is totally different.

[TiborasaurusRex]

@extrapressure - Thanks for asking that. YHWH's 2nd commandment restricts the use of symbols in His WORSHIP, its not talking about on a kids a monkey bag. I can drive a 'Taurus' or eat a Cadbury egg with no problem. This video simply points out YHWH's strict prohibitions on mixing other gods in with His worship. His most fundamental requirement of us is that we don't commit fornication against him by mixing old pagan customs and traditions with His worship - IF we truley love Him, we won't.

[exactdigital]

@extrapressure AMEN-HOTEP To that ;)



[wutafiasco]

peace! awesome video. thanks brother!!!

[cutes22]

Irony-there's no evidence Jesus even existed. So you're pitting one set of false beliefs against another. I'd take the sex goddess over a bloody sacrifice anyway, if I had to choose.

[TheOrcasRule]

So ...wait...

The creator of this video has done all of this great research and knows some history, and yet is somehow still a believer in "god"?

How can you not see that it is ALL myth, including your god?

[TiborasaurusRex]

@TheOrcasRule It seems crazy at a glance, but the chronological precision in which the Hebrew feasts were set up 1,500 years in advance of their fulfillment cannot be mere coincidence. I can't deny that it is statistically impossible that all the details and the typologies of the Hebrew feasts could be fulfilled in such perfect order by accident. I have to admit there seems to be truth to this 1 unique messiah >>> NOT the generic sun-wrapped “Jesus”, but the historical Hebrew Messiah ישוע.

[exactdigital]

It is almost like you get it in the first video but then you revert and think that the ancient Hebrew text predicts the death of the so-called Messiah. It is yet another symbol that gets repeated over & over because the Sun, Moon, Stars all go through cycles. These are not predictions but symbolic re-runs. The Christ story is simply another usurped story from Ancient Egypt. Horus Isis Osiris predates the Christ-Mary-Joseph Myth by 3000 years. Folks do you research on ALL text not just 1 portion.

[TiborasaurusRex]

@exactdigital - I respectfully beg to differ on this point. Lucifer has long been counterfeiting YHWHs system. Yes: 90% of western "Christianity" is a just a continuation of Nimrod's Babylonian sun worship system passed through Egypt and eventually Constantine. I am aware of the simularitites, but after close scrutiny of the texts it is evident that the words of YHWH predate the Egyptian system which like other sun worship systems, took what it liked from the word of YHWH and absorbed it.

[exactdigital]

@TiborasaurusRex Well it is obvious that your training is not in Anthropology or History. The 13th Dynastic period gave birth to the 3 Final of the 92 pyramids on the Giza plateau, a time when Abraham was just born. So it would be impossible 4 these concepts 2 be taken or "Absorbed" B4 the authors of such concepts were even able 2 put chisel 2 stone. To simply categorize Egyptians as SunWorshipers shows your blind faith at it's finest. Christians are the Supreme Counterfeiters my blind brother.

[TiborasaurusRex]

@exactdigital - Sorry bud, I am not interested in an oline pissing contest. However: If you have ears: the archeological reckoning of time we see in our modern university textbooks is NOT an 'exact science' - especially when it comes to the dating of the ancient Egyptian dynasties. Those who study the actual hieroglyphics and the ancient cuneiform have found HUGE problems with the professed dates given. If you were aware of how the dates were deciphered, you would agree. Peace&respect

[exactdigital]

@TiborasaurusRex Pissing contest? Nice. Touch a nerve did we? History rewards all research. So if the science of dating ancient Egypt is flawed or inaccurate according to your finite understanding, what evidence is there to support that the "Heathen" "Sun Worshiping" Egyptians stole or "Absorbed" concepts from the so-called YHWHs System? If you prefer not to be challenged on your words and would prefer for everyone to just be quiet and accept your research on face value then let that be known...

[TiborasaurusRex]

@exactdigital - The typolgy of the coming Messiah was well known before Nimrod's rebellion. This was the template used by the other sun-worship systems that came later in Egyptian, Persia, and the rest of the world which attempted to to take the title of the 1 Messiah for themselves. This is where some of the simularities come from. The prophecies of the Messiah were built into there very stars from the beginning, many wanted to fill that seat. Now, please tell me how they got the dates :-)

[exactdigital]

@TiborasaurusRex Well since U are unwilling & unable 2 provide me w/ how U are coming up w/ these flawed dates & timelines then I will be more than glad to oblige you. U are aware that there were many tribes of Africa that existed then that still exist today. Every tribe has an orator that can recite the history of it's people and the events that the tribes experienced from antiquity. This coupled with Mitochondria DNA provides a timeline that is unobstructed by religion, creed or personal dogma

[TiborasaurusRex]

@exactdigital - The traditional chronology of Egyptian dynasties are based upon Mathetheo’s history and the Sothic cycle. Manetho’s interpretation of each variation in spelling as a different king created many nonexistent generations and contradicts actual Egyptians records. The Sothic cycle is based on contradictory starting points. Tribe Orator - very thin. DNA dating is based on the assumption that mutations occur at a constant rate, they don't. Most genologists don't even buy that.

[exactdigital]

@TiborasaurusRex You are going to the student to get answers about the Master. "Traditional Chronology" Who's Tradition? Who's Chronology? These are Greek concepts and their most celebrated scholar Homer wrote The Iliad and the Odyssey about 850 BC. Meanwhile Egypt is in its 24th Dynastic period. You are going to everyone else for there opinion about Egypt's History rather than going straight to the source. ASR AST HRU is the origin of the Jesus story, usurped then re-written in 325 AD.

[wbrooks]

@exactdigital : i guess that would be easy to believe,but you know who predates the Egyptians? God, Jesus, and the host of Heaven-Angels, including Lucifer.Lucifer's was present during the creation (Ezekiel 28:13) and after his rebellion he was cast to earth(Rev 12:7-9)where he said in his heart he would be like God on earth (Isaiah 14:13) by deceiving Adam & Eve to eat the fruit AND knowing of the coming messiah, he tried to prevent n copy it, i.e.the flood, goliath, babies killed in bethlehem,

[earthangelmaggie]

Do you think you could have made this without using the word "crap" ? Otherwise I like what you have to say. Can you share your references, especially for the blood of infants used to paint eggs (I currently can't find it anywhere)?

[TiborasaurusRex]

@earthangelmaggie - Oops - I meant no offence. It was better than saying the other word ;-) Messiah himself used some very very harsh language (much more cutting than crap) when describing the disgusting state of the religious situation of His time. Sometimes, one has to just call it for what it is.

I'm sorry about the specific refernce, I thought it was in there - I have piles and piles of papers and books, I will try to find it for you- Maybe it was in "the Two Babylons" by Hislop

[theartofbumpin]

@earthangelmaggie I have also read that eggs were dyed in blood and then buried into the ground to represent new life in spring, but I do not recall the sacrificed infants being the source of the blood. Either way I believe in much of the Bible and also believe alot of it is CRAP and do not celebrate Easter.

[earthangelmaggie]

@theartofbumpin As Christians we have a duty in what we say and do as representations of Jesus Christ. I Truly enjoyed this video and have sent it to family members and put on my Facebook. LOVE THE REX. I found the reference I needed later. I was not questioning him, it's just that so many people forward stuff that's sent to them without even reading let alone researching it. What I send to others make sure it's the gospel truth. I believe ALL of the Bible, not just much,I wish you well.

[TheJennywest]

It won't be much longer before the Fall of Babylon the Great. Woohoo!!! Now if you could post the truth about the cross, that would be great. Literal translation of the Greek word "stau-ros" isn't "cross" but "stake." By definition a "stau-ros" is an upright pole,or piece of paling,on which anything might be hung,or which might be used in impaling(fencing in)a piece of ground. Even amongst Romans"crux" from which cross is derived, appears originally as an upright pole.

[TiborasaurusRex]

@TheJennywest - You are dead-on. Yeah, unfortunately the cross was the sign of Mithaism and various other Babylonian sun worship religions looong before 'Christianity' came along. We are supposed to obey the 2nd Commandment, but it has been erased off the tablets in many churches and ignored by the rest. We are like guilty children who are full of nothing but excuses for everything we do wrong. We need to admit our sins, ask forgiveness, and repent - NOT just make excuses.

[TheJennywest]

@TiborasaurusRex  Halleelujah!

[mcarroll4prjc]

Ever wonder where the playboy bunny came from?

[OrderofMerchants]

You forgot Mary. And...Jesus is Tammuz.....

[TiborasaurusRex]

@OrderofMerchants - Yeah, that's a whole nother set of videos. Way too much pagaism in these later days, just like Messiah told us would happen. Just like the old Israel did over and over, we seem to unwittingly repeat. He'll destroy Babylon pretty soon though, so don't worry too much. All we have to do is mainly stay close to him, and he'll do all the fighting.

[DevotedTruth]

@OrderofMerchants Look it up again... Tammuz is a babylonian diety.

[LiIGreg]

I've heard people say and watched videos that stated that the sabbath day was actually on Saturday. I would really like to hear your opinion on it, whether it is true or not, and if it is true why do we go to church on Sunday? Thanks for the great vids, keep up the good work.

[TiborasaurusRex]

@LiIGreg - Good question! The Shabbat (our rest from the world) has always been on the seventh day of the week (Saturday) in accordance to the 10 commandments. That particular day was picked because that's the very day YHWH rested after creating the universe. We commemorate the True creator of the universe when we keep His day of rest. In the 300s AD Constantine banned the Shabbat and proclaimed Sunday as the new day of rest in accordance with a Persian solar-cult called "Mithraism." weird

[LiIGreg]

@TiborasaurusRex Thanks for clearing that up for me.

[TiborasaurusRex]

@LiIGreg - No prob, man. Make sure to always check what the Word itself sais as well. People aren't generally a very reliable source of truth. Keep up the good studies. Peace.

[thisisJim85]

You said "The Church has tortured and killed more followers of the Messiah than any other force on earth." The Catholic Church did all these atrocities against the saints of the Most High. The Catholic Church is a Pagan church and began with Constantine; IT IS NOT the church that Christ started. Roman Catholicism is saturated in Paganism (devil worship). The RC Church doesn't rule in America like in other countries; but they're as anti-Christ as they've ever been - more so when they have power.

[TiborasaurusRex]

@thisisJim85 - Thanks for clarifying that at well. When I say 'Church' in the criticle context, I'm talking about "The Apostate Church". You are a sharp cookie, Jim. America may not directly ruled by the City on 7 hills (in the same manner as in old Europe), but rather by sneakier means - Watch "The secret Behind secret Societies"

[jazzman8844]

@thisisJim85 The roman catholics do rule in america.most of the men in supreme court and government are catholics.check it out.all rulers of the world pay homage to the pope.research it please.thx

[TiborasaurusRex]

@jazzman8844 - you are 100% correct. whether they know it or not, the rulers of the world do pay homage to him, either directly or indirectly. even protestants who think they don't follow the pope, still obey what he sais to do when it comes down to it. the pontiff has his mechanisms of control embedded into every political system on earth. pope > Jesuits > Knights of Malta > the masonic lodge > skull and bones > presidents and senators and judges and protestant seminaries preachers etc...
