Paganism In Christianity, question for christians

[guno]

so what do christian think of this, from a christian site

'Many aspects of traditional Christianity - holidays, practices and doctrines - came not from Christ or the Bible but from ancient pagan religion'.

Unfortunately, some of the most basic things believed by most professing Christians derive from ancient paganism rather than from the Bible. The idea that people have immortal souls was first taught in ancient Egypt and Babylon. The Greeks likewise taught that at death the soul would separate from the physical body (Jewish Encyclopedia , 1941, Vol. 6, pp. 564, 566, “Immortality of the Soul”). That idea was merged into Christianity from Greek philosophy. It did not come from inspired Scripture.

The ancient Egyptians developed the concept of going to heaven. In their mythology, the god Osiris was killed but then raised back to life, whereupon he went to a distant heavenly realm. The Egyptians concluded that if he could do this, then human beings could follow ( Lewis Browne, This Believing World , pp. 83-84). This heavenly reward was a central teaching of several ancient mystery religions—but not the religion of the Hebrews or early Christians.

[SassyIrishLass]

The United Church of God isn't Christian, Guano. It's defined as a cult by many Churches. It was formed in 1995, a noob in the religious game

 

[ABikerSailor]

Well, part of the proof is the timing of Christmas and Easter, which are celebrated around the Spring and Winter solstice.

Then there's the whole fertility thing with the eggs and rabbits on Easter, as well as most of the traditions associated with Christmas.

You are referring to the Roman Catholic Religion's Babylonian roots, celebration of pagan holidays, etc. Roman Catholicism isn't Christianity, Guno.

All comes out of Catholic teachings which are based on the Babylonian occult. Catholicism isn't Christianity.

Hebrew monotheism came out of Egypt, and yet Hebrews didn't become monotheistic till the period between the OT and NT, and even then there were many sects.

Jews in later days became dualistic, believed in angles, reincarnation and spiritual resurrection. The Sadducees did not. Once Judaism had Priests, now just Rabbis, it has morphed and changed over the years.

Where did the Priests go, welcome to the RCC. New and improved, no animal sacrifices.

I guess you missed that part about God saying that He was the Only One True God when He was talking to Abraham.

The Jews have been monotheistic since then.

Ah! You have forgotten that Satan was once Lucifer whose name means son of the morning! He would love for you to believe his lies! After all, he is the Father of lies! The truth is when Satan was cast out of heaven, the Egyptians were not even born! No, the first man was Adam, the first woman, Eve (not Lilith). What was the first first lie the serpent spoke? Hath God said? And then.......he twisted (perverted) what God had said and because the woman allowed herself to listen to his lies and question God, she was deceived. (Genesis 3:1)

You have been deceived by the wicked one. Satan accused God in the garden. Do you not think this subtle serpent would not seek to accuse God today? If not, you are far more naive than I thought you to be.

These secret mysteries you speak of are a spider's web of lies that Satan has designed to entrap you and send you to hell where he knows all too well he shall one day be spending eternity! As he cannot change his fate, his only desire is to take with him all who were created in God's image! (see Genesis 1:26) He despises God and desires to rob you of what he lost through his own rebellion!

Listen to the Prophet Isaiah as he prophesies the future of Lucifer:

Isaiah 14 King James Version (KJV)
14 For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.

2 And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,

4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!

5 The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers.

6 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.

7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.

8 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.

9 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

10 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?

11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.

12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.

19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.

20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.

__________
Yes, hell is real. See verse 15. Do not give Satan the satisfaction of destroying your soul. He is counting on you believing his lies. You are no match for the Devil but the Lord God Almighty has never lost a battle against him! Satan is a defeated foe! Do not listen to the one who is bound for hell. Do not listen to his lies any longer. Listen to the Word of the LORD,seek Him with all of your heart and lean not upon your own understanding.

Believe the Word of the LORD and do what He tells you to do:

And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13

The christian bible has no meaning to Jews

Judaism does not view “Satan” with the same connotation as other religions.


Satan in Judaism is not a physical being ruling the underworld, rather, in the Torah, the word Satan indicates “accuser,” “hinderer” or “tempter.” Satan is therefore more an illusory obstacle in one’s way - such as temptation and evil doings - keeping one from completing the responsibilities of tikkun olam (fixing the world) social action. Satan is the evil inclination to veer off the path of righteousness and faithfulness in God.

Jews in later days became dualistic, believed in angles, reincarnation and spiritual resurrection. The Sadducees did not. Once Judaism had Priests, now just Rabbis, it has morphed and changed over the years.

Where did the Priests go, welcome to the RCC. New and improved, no animal sacrifices.

the people called the priests of Judaism are not the same as the priests of the catholic church. Of course the priests of Judaism still exist. The priests of the catholic church are
like the prelates of the Roman government. Pontius Pilate is an example of the kind of position which morphed into parish priests and Bishops. The structure of the Roman Catholic church mimics the Rulership of pre-Christian Rome and its
empire. The college of cardinals is THE SENATE (like Brutus and Cassius) Penelope claims that catholics do not
eat meat.

Your right we have our own Priest who dress up to say Mass and have special rules, not like the Judaic Priests that offered animal sacrifices, but our RCC Priests offer the bread and wine of which they then bless to become the blood and body of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Last I read Judaism does not have Priests anymore since the destruction of the Herods temple, did thy start that back up now? We also have a Pope, and bishops that help develop laws for the Church, kind of like the Sanhedrin back in the day, but Bishops are the secondary heads of their areas.

I read the Sanhedrin, the new one, not official, was going to hold a trial on Pope Francis , trial in absentia, what a hoot, I'm sure his knees were knocking.

-----------****Yes----the MASS ---which is the usual blessing ALL JEWS say ----and do so with wine and bread. Since most
catholics are illiterate---the priests do it for the whole group.
Martin Luther hated "the MASS" because it reminded him of
the fact that Jesus was a jew. Sacrifice of animals was ----in
ancient times the best alternative to the barbaric practice of wounding animals and letting them die slowly. Lots of ancient cultures did -----jews did it with specially trained persons who did not kill barbarically. The animal sacrifices served as food
for the priests and levites who DID NOT OWN LAND------putting wealth in the hands of priests was---in ancient times and even now a basis for lots of filth with which the catholic church is still entangled. Proscribed from land ownership----the priests had no POWER TO MAKE WAR----brilliant idea


Last I read Judaism does not have Priests anymore since the destruction of the Herods temple, did thy start that back up now?

------**LOL ''last she read" ----Jewish priests do LIVE on
for someone who pretends she knows something about the
cohen haplotype!!! Penny just proved that she is an idiot

We also have a Pope, and bishops that help develop laws for the Church, kind of like the Sanhedrin back in the day, but Bishops are the secondary heads of their areas.

**Penny blew it again----the Sanhedrin has nothing to do
with PRIEST (or levite) ---it is a judicial body---culled
from the most learned people around as recognized by
the population itself ------the most important being sent
to Jerusalem

I read the Sanhedrin, the new one, not official, was going to hold a trial on Pope Francis , trial in absentia, what a hoot, I'm sure his knees were knocking.

Yup----the present "Sanhedrin" is like a model---scholars
engaged in a intellectual exercise. No reason for the poop
to be concerned----it is part of the never ending conversation
between Man and "GOD"-----the poooop has nothing to do
with it. It is not the INQUISITION---which was a mechanism
for priests, bishops and POOOOPS to MURDER AND
PILLAGE

above is an example of Judaism 101 as taught by islamo Nazis and cock sucking catechism whores. I will try to take
the shitty nonsense point by point as above

I love Christmas. I have friends who are believing pagans. I also have a few Jewish friends some who beyond a doubt believe in Jesus and others who don't. I do not know any Muslims and truly I don't think from what I have seen of their religion I want to know them very well if at all. Shoot I even know atheist I could be friends with easier verses haters who base their decisions upon religious dogma that ignores the basics that everyone should be free and at liberty to make their own choices.

The beast of Revelation 666 and Solomon's temple being built are the only two places in the Bible where 666 occurs. Think on that for awhile.
Solomon verses Muslim both supposedly meaning peace. One is a spiritual heavenly host son of king David "beloved" and the other is a religion based on the name of a warring man and his groups of warring followers.

The United Church of God isn't Christian, Guano. It's defined as a cult by many Churches. It was formed in 1995, a noob in the religious game

If they say they are Christian who is anyone to say they are not? Sounds like ISIS saying the Shi'a are not Muslims.

What does building of Solomon's temple have to do with 666?

It has to do with mysteries being brought forth for people who are looking can understand. You have two portions to every human (adam) there is a carnal side and a spiritual side in each. For the hosts of heaven you have the same. You have carnal hosts and you have the hosts that work for the heavenly portion. You have a church that is spiritual and a church that is carnal. The beast that was but yet is not in the world and in each person.
