I did decie however to decorate my nick with a relatively non political theme for the rest of November in honor of the simple elegance of the truth of your thread's theme. Let's see if anyone asks me who it is. (sssh! Quiet. I know you know, don't blow the artist's cover ;-)
i agree. so i don't. (just candles in the windows if/when i get around to it)

All in all, the mexicans have it right - put it up and leave it up year-round. Why do we do all this stuff? It's certainly not Biblical or Scriptural in any sense of the Word. God never told us to celebrate anyone's birthday... This is my least favorite time of the year as I watch people descend into consumer madness buying crap for their family and friends.
Oh Hell, I work this time of year at Harry and David when people with no time and a budget bigger then most call to make orders. I have had my moments at that job in the years past I have done it. I just wish I could reveal a couple of the better known politicos I have talked to and why it was amusing. But alas, I agreed to the confidentiality policy to take the job. ;-D
Indeed, not only were we not instructed to do these things, but we were SPECIFICALLY told NOT to! And I will not go into the complete details of Mithraism again (as I have before on here) but I will give you a good website to check out. It explains that the only thing that Christmas and christ has to do with each other is that thier names are similar. It is a hoax, it is the birthday of Mithra that we are celebrating in the name of Christ. Jeremiah 10 1Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: 2Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. 3For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. 4They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

Sounds like a question on the Extra Class amateur Radio Exam. 1. At what frequency must a resonator be tuned to view light in the 4th dimension? a. 3.4 Khz Kin you get a buzz off them feedlines??

We are dismayed by murder done because we do not believe Christain beliefs or other doctrine of other faiths. Let the Blessings Be.
I'm gonna cut you man. /humor heh, thanks... I think. ;-)
I've tried, believe me...LOL..but when it's connected to a dipole antenna I can talk to Australia with 50 watts on 20 meters CW [morse code] :)
This is actually the answer, but the trick is you have to be going 88 MPH in a DeLorean automobile with a fueled flux capacitor while you do this to get the 4th dimension to open up to ours. Oh yes, yelling, "GREAT SCOTT!" while this occurs helps immensely.

My only Christmas decoration is a Chinese made German style nutcracker, but I leave it on the bookshelf all year, so I guess dusting is about all the decorating I can claim. Although I'm thinking about setting up the Carrera slot car track.

Christianianity and Mithraism were INCREDIBLY similiar when both religions existed, the biggest difference is that Mithraism did not allow women to worship. RELIGION is the biggest problem we have, interpretations of what God supposedly MEANT to say instead of simply reading his laws as he laid them down for us. The Bible is nothing more than a law book, the only difference is that it is easier to understand than most law books!! here is a good site comparing Mithraism to Christianity: http://www.truthbeknown.com/mithra.htm
"Don't Steal, the government hates competition."
Amen, amen, amen! I can't wait until December 26th, so all this madness will be put aside until next year. Hopefully, a nice fat recession in 2007 will put a damper on next year's festivities. The locals are loading up to celebrate the birthday of Jesus (I actually heard someone telling this to their little girl yesterday. I wanted to slap them right upside their empty skull.)
Ahhh yes, I know that feeling well.
"Don't Steal, the government hates competition."
Behind The Bible Fraud - What Was The Church Trying To Hide? By Robert Adams Be sure to reload this page for the latest comments! When I first spoke to a close Christian friend of mine about the publishing of Tony Bushby's The Bible Fraud, her reaction was one that many Christians have expressed, and one that made me aghast. She didn't want the book available because it would "persuade them away from the Bible and the word of God." Further discussions with her and many other Christians around the world about The Bible Fraud all result in the Bible being quoted as the ultimate reference for the apparent "words of God," and therefore the basis for their arguments. The problem lies in that they believe the Bible is infallible. If we examine the oldest known Bible to date, the "Sinai Bible" housed in the British Museum (I believe that, during his many years of research, Tony had a private viewing of this priceless book), we find a staggering 14,800 differences from today's Bible and yet it still remains the word of God? As Tony points out, the history of our 'genuine' Bibles is a convoluted one. Firstly we cannot be sure that we have the full version as it was originally intended. In 1415 the Church of Rome took an extraordinary step to destroy all knowledge of two second century Jewish books that it said contained the true name of Jesus Christ. The Antipope Benedict XIII firstly singled out for condemnation a secret Latin treatise called "Mar Yesu" and then issued instructions to destroy all copies of the book of Elxai. The Rabbinic fraternity once held the destroyed manuscripts with great reverence for they were comprehensive original records reporting the life of Rabbi Jesus. Later, Pope Alexander VI ordered all copies of the Talmud destroyed, with the Spanish Grand Inquisitor Tomas de Torquemada (1420-98) responsible for the elimination of 6,000 volumes at Salamanca alone. Solomon Romano (1554) also burnt many thousands of Hebrew scrolls and, in 1559, every Hebrew book in the city of Prague was confiscated. The mass destruction of Jewish books included hundreds of copies of the Old Testament and caused the irretrievable loss of many original handwritten documents. The oldest text of the Old Testament that survived, before the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls" was said to be the Bodleian Codex (Oxford), which was dated to circa 1100 AD. In an attempt by the church to remove damaging Rabbinic information about Jesus Christ from the face of the earth, the Inquisition burnt 12,000 volumes of the Talmud. In 1607, forty-seven men (some records say fifty four) took two years and nine months to re-write the Bible and make it ready for press. It was, by the order of King James, issued with a set of personal 'rules' the translators were to follow. Upon its completion in 1609, it was handed over to the King James for his final approval. However, "It was self evident that James was not competent to check their work and edit it, so he passed the manuscripts onto the greatest genius of all time... Sir Francis Bacon" The first English language manuscripts of the Bible remained in Bacon's possession for nearly a year. During that time ... "he hammered the various styles of the translators into the unity, rhythm, and music of Shakespearean prose, wrote the prefaces and created the whole scheme of the Authorized Version. At the completion of the editing, King James ordered a 'dedication to the King' to be drawn up and included in the opening pages. He also wanted the phrase 'Appointed to be read in the churches' to appear on the title page. The King James Bible is considered by many today to be the 'original' Bible and therefore 'genuine' and all later revisions simply counterfeits forged by 'higher critics'. Others think the King James Bible is 'authentic' and 'authorized' and presents the original words of the authors as translated into English from the 'original' Greek texts. However, as Tony points out, the 'original' Greek text was not written until around the mid fourth century and was a revised edition of writings compiled decades earlier in Aramaic and Hebrew. Those earlier documents no longer exist and the Bibles we have today are five linguistic removes from the first bibles written. What was written in the 'original originals' is quite unknown. It is important to remember that the words 'authorized' and 'original', as applied to the Bible do not mean 'genuine', 'authentic' or 'true'. By the early third century, it became well noted that a problem was occurring . politics! In 251AD, the number of Presbyter's (roving orator or priest) writings had increased dramatically and bitter arguments raged between opposing factions about their conflicting stories. According to Presbyter Albius Theodoret (circa 255), there were "more than two hundred" variant gospels in use in his time. In 313, groups of Presbyters and Biscops (Bishops) violently clashed over the variations in their writings and "altar was set against altar" in competing for an audience and territory. When Emperor Constantine conquered the East in 324, he sent his Spanish religious advisor, Osius of Cordoba, to Alexandria with letters to several Biscops exhorting them to make peace among their own. But the mission failed and Constantine, probably at the suggestions of Osius, then issued a decree commanding all Presbyters and their subordinates "be mounted on asses, mules and horses belonging to the public and travel to the city of Nicaea" in the Roman province of Bithymia, the country of Asia. The Presbyters were instructed by the Emperor to bring with them the manuscripts from which they orated to the rabble (that's us!) "wrapped and bound in leather". Constantine saw in this developing system of belief the opportunity to make a combined state religion and protect it by law. The first general church council was thus convened and the year was 325. On 21 June, the day of the Summer Solstice, (and under those cult conditions) a total of 2048 "presbyters, deacons, sub-deacons, acolytes and exorcists" gathered at Nicaea to decide what Christianity really was, what it would be, what writings were to be used and who was to be it's God. Ancient church evidence established that a new 'god' was to be approved by the Roman Emperor and an earlier attempt (circa 210) to deify either Judas Khrestus or his twin brother Rabbi Jesus (or somebody else) had been 'declined'. Therefore, as late as 325, the Christian religion did not have an official god. After a long and bitter debate, a vote was finally taken and it was with a majority show of hands that Judas Khrestus and Rabbi Jesus both became God (161votes for and 157 votes against). The Emperor effectively joined elements of the two individual life stories of the twin brothers into a singular creation. The doctrine of the Celtic / British church of the west was democratically attached to the Presbyters stories of the east. A deification ceremony was then performed 'Apotheosis'. Thus the deified ones were then called 'saviours' and looked upon as gods. Temples, altars, and images with attributes of divinity were then erected and public holidays proclaimed on their birthdays. Following the original example set by the deification of Caesar, their funerals were dramatized as the scene of their resurrection and immortality. All these godly attributes passed as a legal right to Emperor Constantine's new deity, Jesus Christ. The Emperor then instructed Bishop Eusebius to compile a uniform collection of new writings "bound together as one" using the stories from the large collection of Presbyters as his reference source. Eusebius was to arrange for the production of "fifty sumptuous copies ... to be written on parchment in a legible manner, and in a convenient portable form, by professional scribes thoroughly accomplished in the art". This was the first mention of finished copies of a Christian 'New Testament' in the history of mankind. As one can imagine, to condense the real life of the Jesus Christ, the Church and His teachings with supporting evidence into a short article is very difficult. It is therefore wise for those who wish to have supportable evidence to read and study Tony Bushby's epic work, The Bible Fraud, along with it's detailed blood lines (family trees) and over 869 references. (see http://www.thebiblefraud.com) However, attempting to summarize what Tony has written..... in 325 AD, the first Christian council was called at Nicaea to bring the stories of twin brothers, Jesus 'the Rabbi' and Judas Khrestus into one deity that we now know as Jesus Christ. Tony says they were not born of virgin birth but to Nabatean Arab Mariamne Herod (now known as the Virgin Mary) and fathered by Tiberius ben Panthera, a Roman Centurion. The brothers were raised in the Essene community and became Khrists of their faith. Rabbi Jesus later was initiated in Egypt at the highest of levels similar to the 33rd degree of Freemasonry of which many Prime ministers and Presidents around the world today are members. He then later married three wives, one of whom we know as a Mary Magdalene, a Druidic Princess, stole the Torah from the temple and moved to Lud, now London. Tony believes the reason Jesus stole the Torah was that he said it contained "a very special secret", which he was going to reveal that secret to the world. He was stoned to death and the Torah taken from him before he could. The elder brother, Judas Khrestus, with his "Khrestian" followers conspired to take the throne of Rome, his royal birthright, and was captured, tried, and was sentenced to be crucified. (The "Khrestians" and the Essenic army, the Nazarenes, would today be likened to terrorists.) At the trial, Judas exercised his royal birthright to have a replacement in Simon of Cyrene (Luke 23:41) and then was sold as a slave to live out his days as a carpenter in India. Rabbi Jesus spent a considerable amount of time at the Palace of the British in Rome and sometime around 48 AD, he left for Egypt to pursue his greatest esoteric goal. The spiritual knowledge from his secret education in the Essene and Druid movements was soon to be elevated to the highest level possible - initiation into the innermost rite of the Egyptian temples. It was probable that Rabbi Jesus' earlier initiation into both the Essene and Druid schools played a major part in his acceptance into the Egyptian school. The Druids could claim a very early origin and the essence of their wisdom was also that of the Essenes. In the case of the Essenes, it is possible to show that their movement was specifically established to preserve secret information, for they knew and used the sacred writing of the Initiates. The full meaning of the point being made by Bushby is that in the case of all Secret Schools, the inner and ultimate Mystery was revealed only to a High Initiate. Those who were initiated into the Ancient mysteries took a solemn oath never to reveal what had passed within the sacred walls. Every year only a comparatively few Egyptian initiations were conducted, and the number of persons who knew their secrets was never at any time large. The initiations always took place with the onset of darkness and the candidate was entranced for periods of varying length, depending upon the level of the degree for which he had entered. The first initiatory step involved a forty-day procedure that basically involved purification, not only in physical form, but dissolving all tendencies to evil thoughts, purifying the mind as well. It appears that he would have fasted, alternatively on vegetables, juices and very special herbal concoctions. The New Testament recorded that this happened to Rabbi Jesus who "was led into the desert.... and he fasted forty days and forty nights" (Matt. 4:1-2). This trial period involved more than just fasting. During the forty days and nights' ordeal, Tony says the candidate was required to study astronomical charts to supplement his skills in astronomy and memorize charts of the heavens. They were also given a particular ritual from which to memorize certain passwords, secret signs and handclasps, skills that are still practiced to this day in Freemasonry. These initiations were not limited to Egypt. The ancient civilizations inherited these Mysteries from a remote antiquity and they constituted part of a primitive revelation from the gods to the human race. Almost every people of pre-Christian times possessed its institution and tradition of the mysteries. The Romans, the Druids of Britain, the Greeks, the Cretans, the Syrians, the Hindus, the Persians, the Maya and the American Indians, among others, had corresponding temples and rites with a system of graduated illuminations for the initiates. The modern world knows little of these ancient rites yet they were conducted in a huge variety of buildings the world over. The 'Towers' that are found throughout the East in Asia were directly connected with the Mystery-initiations. The candidates for initiation were placed in them for three days and three nights, whenever there was no temple with a subterranean crypt close at hand. In this aspect of the initiatory procedure, Tony points out a direct Gospel parallel with Rabbi Jesus saying, "After three days I shall rise again", for he knew the finishing process he was to undertake would take three days being a symbol of the period of time required to complete a condition of development. The ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic texts speak of an initiate as 'twice-born', and he was permitted to add to his name the words 'he who has renewed his life', so that on some ancient tomb-inscriptions archaeologists still discover these phases descriptive of the spiritual status of the deceased person. So little did the later Gospel writers understand the initiatory process that they never perceived they were developing a story that included a Rabbi's (and Arch Druid of Britain) experience in an Egyptian Mystery School. St Austin (c. 380) asserted that it was generally known in church circles that Rabbi Jesus had been initiated in Egypt, and that "he wrote books concerning magic". In the Gospel of Nicodemus, the Jews brought the same accusation before Pontius Pilate, "Did we not tell you he was a magician?" Celsus (c. 178) spoke of the same charge. In the Clementine Recognitions, the accusation was brought against Rabbi Jesus that he did not perform any miracles but practiced magic and carried about with him the figure of a seated skeleton. Jewish tradition invariably asserted that Rabbi Jesus learned 'magic' in Egypt. Bushby says the kernel of this persistent accusation may perhaps be reduced to the simple historical element that Rabbi Jesus went to Egypt and returned with far wider and more enlightened views than those of his former religious associates. Now, I'm sure that many of you are having trouble grasping some of the ideas presented in this article and I congratulate you on taking the effort to read this far. We all need to demand our local Church, the Church scholars, theologians and media make an open examination of the evidence compiled in Tony Bushby's The Bible Fraud. It may rattle some core beliefs but what is more important to you . the truth or what sits comfortably because it's what you've known all you life? I leave you with a quote from one of the conspirators "How well we know what a profitable superstition this fable of Christ has been for us." Pope Leo X (1513-1521) Article first published in New Dawn Magazine No 71, March 2002
I know I should be ashamed of myself, but all this blasphemous nonsense being spewed in an area that SHOULD know better (the 'Bible Belt') frustrates me to no end. (Kind of like S & M vexed Lot back in the day.)
I am of Wicca, not the Persian religion Mithraism. I have never been a Christian. I was raised as a hostage made to go to a Christian Church, but I was never a buyer of the tenants of that faith. I respect your right to your religion, but I want no part of it. None whatsoever. The baptism as a baby before informed consent is moot, I always spit out the Communion wafer into my hand and dumped it and invented things to say in confession. It was a profound relief to grow old enough not to be bullied into attending someone else's church when I became a teenager.
I respect your right to your religion, but I want no part of it. None whatsoever. I am definately NOT what you would call a christain. Christianity has such a broad meaning and includes many pracitices that I want absolutely no part of. Most people that that if you believe in God and the Bible that you are Christian, but that is not the case. _Here is a short list of things that Christians do, that I do not: _Eat pork, crab, lobster, shrimp, and other unclean animals _celebrate Christmas _Celebrate Easter _Celebrate government "Holidays" (Thanksgiving, Fourth of July.....) _Go to church on Sunday (we honor the Sabbath from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown) _I do drink occassionally _and many more Seeing how these are things that your average Christian do, and I WILL NOT do them, then I cant be a Christian, I just try to follow God's laws as best as I know how
"Don't Steal, the government hates competition."
With all due respect, you do not follow the Goddess' law.
Most people assume that if you believe in God and the Bible that you are Christian, but that is not the case. Could not agree more. I just try to follow God's laws as best as I know how... Ditto. Your list is eerily similar to mine.
I don't know, I got the link doing a seach in You Tube with "Christmas lights."
There is a very simple way to do it.. so it's not such a chore... do as I do.. dont decorate :P
My belief is that anyone, at any time, seeking to know the truth, will have it revealed to them, as they are ready and able to accept it, and incorporate it into their life. Whole industries have evolved trying to sell people "the real deal," when the Bible tells us to "study to show yourselves approved..." nothing about paying anyone, buying anything, donating anything - just studying, whatever copy of the Bible that you may have, in a prayerful, open to the Spirit, manner. That's my simple take on this.
You sound like George Gordon's sort of a ladybug.
interesting.. which denomination are you or is this a personal perference not something taught or preached?
Trust me, when I was a single person, that rule was followed religiously: marriage, however, changed the program...luckily, Mrs.L's brother comes over and takes care of the details - I just have to grill everyone a nice dinner to show my "gratitude." It works. The house now looks like something from Macy's and everyone's tummy is happy.
heeheeheehee - I need more guard rails.
When the going gets weird the weird turn pro. - Hunter S Thompson
I do listen to George Gordon, but he is not what persuaded me, though I have learned some valuable things from his programs. I listen to him because it is refreshing to hear someone speak plain, honest, understandable truth, and who follow God, not any Goddess or other entity (government included) that may come along and demand your worship. I am glad to know that there are other people out there like me.
"Don't Steal, the government hates competition."
I am not speaking for her, but she sounds similar to a group of people I gather with, although on a much too infrequent basis. I am definitely non-denominational, and I just get my belief system from the King James Bible...nothing more. I don't observe Chr*stmas or Easter, because they have nothing to do with Jesus Christ (IMHO, not trying to start a debate); nor so I attend what people would consider a "church". I definitely do not believe Jesus is a Republican...far from it.
This is a personal preference, learned simply from the Bible. You read what it says, and do what you are told. I am not a religious expert, but I believe in God, and believe that he MUST be smarter than the people that he created, therefore if he told us not to do something there may be a reason (like eating pork and animal fat= heart disease??) I do not know of a church or a denomination that will teach the simple Bible whithout trying to put something of a religious twist on it, but there is the occassional radio program, like George Gordon's Law Hour and Editorial Review http://(georgegordon.org) That will help set a truth seeker on the right path, and is entertaining and educational for someone who has been searching on thier own. This is not just about the Bible, but also politics and helath.
"Don't Steal, the government hates competition."
More than you know...I may have to give Mr. Gordon a listen some time. The 'Remnant' is out there... :-)
thanks .. curiosity and all that :P
We're here - and if others would really think about things honestly, we could get this country turned around. We need to trust our instincts, and that still, small voice within us - instead of the raving yahoo's on the tellie - to tell us what is right, and what is to be done. If every bouffant tellie-crappvangelist croaked on stage tomorrow, I would not think it a bad thing, at all...I don't necessarily wish it, but I would not lament it, either.
I'm sure you're right. There are probably many on here that are having trouble grasping some of these ideas, IF they did read this far... BUT, what Ladybug is saying (and rightly so) is that Christians (while they proclaim to be following Scripture) in actually are NOT!!! The average mainstream Christian will tell you it's wrong to drink Jack Daniels while they're eating their pork chop dinner... Now, they didn't get this from Scripture but whatever makes them feel good. IF they were to follow what the Bible actually says, they'd be drinking Jack Daniels, and NOT eating pig.... I kinda wonder about the new testament, and this whole "Jesus story", BUT I sure wouldn't be too willing to subscribe to Wicca either... Some witchcraft religion started in the 1940's or 50's (even if supposedly it was something passed down for several centuries before that, and not openly practiced because of a ban by law) doesn't sound like what I'm gonna put my faith in... I'm not here to bash your or anyone's religion... Personally, I think ALL religion is just something people follow because it makes them feel good, or fits with their way of thinking... If Wicca makes you feel good then by all means enjoy yourself. If Muslim is your thing, I wish you much happiness. If Christianity works for you - go with it... Having said that, I DO follow Scripture, more commonly known as the Bible (KJV). Admittedly there ARE mistranslations in there. Some were probably unintentional, and some are DEFINITELY intentional... But no matter how I look at it, when we see propehcies written at least hundreds if not (and in the case of Isiah definitely) thousands of years ago have come to pass. That kind of thing is hard to ignore for me at least... So until I can discern any different in my search of TRUTH, I will continue to use Scripture as I think it was intended - as a LAW BOOK, not some religious tool. AND if we all followed those Laws, and ignored (as we were told to do in Scripture) all these man-made laws - this could actaully be a happy world.
No absurdity is so palpable but that it may be firmly planted in the human head if you only begin to inculcate it before age five, by constantly repeating it with an air of great solemnity. - Arthur Schopenhauer

We all need to demand our local Church, the Church scholars, theologians and media make an open examination of the evidence compiled in Tony Bushby's The Bible Fraud. It may rattle some core beliefs but what is more important to you . the truth or what sits comfortably because it's what you've known all you life?
