My personal view's on GOD and religions.
Page 7
Jan.7th,2007: Today I had the
occasion to view on the CTV network, a religious program called Living Truth, from the
"People's Church" located in Toronto. While I personally do not agree with much of what
they believe because this church is part of the paganized Christian religion which had
been infected with pagan superstitions which were borrowed from pagan cultures, and
they worship and pray to a fictitious, man-made sun god, they call Je-Zeus Christ which
they claim is their main god among their pantheon of three gods which they duly
acknowledge in their Balaam, apostate religion. Never-the-less, I do agree with their
preacher, Charles Price on his talk or sermon today, which was basically about how the Christian churches have
lost touch with the true GOD of Heaven and of religious clutter. I had written about
this topic quite some time ago, which I titled; Out of step from religious clutter.
which speaks about religions having lost touch with the true GOD of Heaven and of getting rid of religious
clutter.

On Jan 9th, 2007; during evening
time, I had the occasion to listen in on Jimmy Akin give answers to callers
on a Catholic radio program called "Catholic Answers Live". It is a daily call-in radio
program that airs live Monday through Friday on EWTN Global Catholic Radio S/W
(short-wave). Jerry Usher is the host of the program with regular guests like Karl
Keating, Jimmy Akin, Rosalind Moss, a Christian Jewish person, Tim Staples, Jim
Blackburn and Jason Evert. They answer a variety of questions pertaining to Catholic
issues and biblical passages that are asked by their callers on this program. On this
segment Jimmy Akin, who had been a protestant preacher who became a catholic was
answering the callers questions. A caller had asked Jimmy Akin, about the seperasion of
church and state controversy of the Roman Catholic church. Akin made some
interesting comments about people who speak against the Roman Catholic church. He
claims that such people who accuse the church to have been directly involved in the
political affairs of the state are basically liars and present no documentation to back-up
those accusations. I believe that I had prove Jimmy Akin wrong in my "Persecution by
Christians" and other writings on my web pages. Another question was asked by
another caller which was about the "Unpardonable Sin" against the Holy Spirit. You
would not believe what this jerk told that caller. He said that as long as you are alive
and can breath, you can go into confession and that sin would be absolved by the
priest. It seems that this Jimmy Akin fellow had forgotten what the New Testament
passages says about sinning against the Holy Spirit. Here's documentation Jimmy! Mark
3; 29 but whoever may blaspheme against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is
guilty of an eternal sin". Matthew 12; 32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of
Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be
forgiven him, neither in this age, nor in that which is to come. Luke 12; 10 Everyone
who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme
against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. Older New Testament versions wrote it like
this; Everyone who speaks a word against GOD or the Son of Man will be forgiven, but
those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. Or; but whoever
blaspheme against GOD or the Son of Man, that sin will be forgiven, but whosoever
blaspheme against the Holy Spirit that sin is never forgiven, but is guilty of an eternal
sin". I can tell you through my personal observation, that there are a great many
Catholic priests and Protestant preachers who have already committed that
"Unpardonable Sin". Now I know that a great many catholic and protestant preachers
tend to lie profusely during their preaching, I notice that it must be part of their trade,
so I am not shocked by any of Jimmy Akin statements. Unfortunately, many of the
guest speakers there tend to lie or give half-truths or totally omit many facts about the
catholic church and the people who represent it. Catholics going to sources like
"Catholic Answers Live" instead of going to un-bias sources to get the truth about the
religion of Christianity or about the Catholic church, is like asking a fox who is guarding
the chicken coop if he had eaten any chickens.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
All the statements made by the likes of
Jimmy Akin, Harold Camping, Arnold Murray, Charles Stanly, Ron & Rod Hembree, Rob Parsley,
Peters J. Peters, the now deceased, Gene Scott or that false prophet R.G. Stair, are
only babblers to the wind. Nor do their darts and verbal assault by these or those
coming from catholic priests or other protestant preachers have no effect upon
me. For I know that all their preaching is in vain. Their voices are blown away by the wind.
For I am fully aware that GOD, my Heavenly Father had cursed that perverted religion
called Christianity and all those who abide in it. This I had made known on the People of
the Holy Testament web site for the general public. Here is a text which I had written to
those of the Very Elect and of the elect to make my point. I will share it with you.
It has been stated by Christians that who should
change the text within the books of the New Testament, they shall be cursed. We know
that the Roman Catholic church is already cursed for altering the text of the New
Testament. For much of the meanings of the original text had been altered to conform
to the dogma of the Roman Catholic church. Like altering the name of Yeshua to that of
Je-Zeus Christ. For making themselves a man-made god by that name. For also having
created three gods in their pantheon of gods. Therefore; All those who have
taken up that altered, corrupted book called the New Testament as their bible are as
cursed as is the Great Whore and all of her Harlot daughters. This definitely speaks of
Christianity. Who has continully been altering the text of the New Testament?
Christians have. I had written the Holy Testament through the Holy Spirit, I had not
written nor had I altered the writings of the New Testament. The first alteration of the
original writings of Yeshua's apostles happened almost two thousand years ago
when those pagan gentiles got their grubby little hands on Yeshua's teachings and had
altered it to create a new pagan sun god for themselves. Of course they had to change
the name of Yeshua in their altered New Testament texts to Je-Zeus Christ, least it
would confuse the pagan gentile people with that Gospel about that Jew, Yeshua. Of
all the preaching Christians do about being saved and going to Heaven, they are totally
unaware that Almighty GOD had cursed Christianity and all the people who abide in it.
As GOD had said to Moses; "I will have mercy upon whom I have mercy, and I will have
compassion upon whom I have compassion." The sad thing about all of this, these poor
people who have been deceived by their Christian catholic priests or protestant
pastors, will finally come to realize, much too late, the horrible mistake they had made
for not heeding the promptings and warnings of the Holy Spirit.

I wonder if these Christian preachers really believe what they
are preaching? After all, Christianity is big business. They sure are making a lot of
money out of it. They seem to have no problem finding gullible people to support their
ministries. Here is an example of what some of these Christians preachers make. It is
indeed a big business, like the underground drug trade. Here are examples of the
money these Christian ministries and their preachers are raking in from gullible
Christians.

since the last report. I believe the real battle these Christian ministries are fighting for is one of retaining
lost revenues and membership from their perverted churches. As you can plainly see,
it is worth the fight to save their precious income which they derive from their unsuspecting,
deceived parishioners. That means little to me for I am not in the money business, but
rather to help people save their soul/spirit from eternal death. These ministries are like
that bank ad seen on TV, instead in this case, it is the preachers not the banks who
constantly have their hands in your pockets. You know that old line these preachers
use to get your money, by accusing you that you are robbing their god-gods for not
giving to their church. This reminds me of this religious joke which goes like this; A
catholic priests, a protestant preacher and a rabbi were discussing what they do with
the money they get from their parishioners. The catholic priest proclaimed that they
use the money on their churches to edify their god. The protestant preacher explains
that they use the money to convert people into protestantism by feeding and helping
the poor. The rabbi say's he stands over the offering basket and proclaims to GOD to
take of the money He wants, as the rabbi heaves the money into the air, what comes
back down he explains, is mine to keep. I have also noticed that some of these
Christian ministries will paste a fake hit counter like this one here..... _____________________________________________________________________________________________

An Italian judge has ordered a priest to appear in court this month to prove that Jesus Christ existed.
The case against Father Enrico Righi has been brought in the town of Viterbo, north of Rome, by Luigi Cascioli, a retired agronomist who once studied for the priesthood but later became a militant atheist.
Signor Cascioli, author of a book called The Fable of Christ, began legal proceedings against Father Righi three years ago after the priest denounced Signor Cascioli in the parish newsletter for questioning Christ’s historical existence.
Yesterday Gaetano Mautone, a judge in Viterbo, set a preliminary hearing for the end of this month and ordered Father Righi to appear. The judge had earlier refused to take up the case, but was overruled last month by the Court of Appeal, which agreed that Signor Cascioli had a reasonable case for his accusation that Father Righi was “abusing popular credulity”.
Signor Cascioli’s contention — echoed in numerous atheist books and internet sites — is that there was no reliable evidence that Jesus lived and died in 1st-century Palestine apart from the Gospel accounts, which Christians took on faith. There is therefore no basis for Christianity, he claims.
Signor Cascioli’s one-man campaign came to a head at a court hearing last April when he lodged his accusations of “abuse of popular credulity” and “impersonation”, both offences under the Italian penal code. He argued that all claims for the existence of Jesus from sources other than the Bible stem from authors who lived “after the time of the hypothetical Jesus” and were therefore not reliable witnesses.
Signor Cascioli maintains that early Christian writers confused Jesus with John of Gamala, an anti-Roman Jewish insurgent in 1st-century Palestine. Church authorities were therefore guilty of “substitution of persons”.
The Roman historians Tacitus and Suetonius mention a “Christus” or “Chrestus”, but were writing “well after the life of the purported Jesus” and were relying on hearsay.
Father Righi said there was overwhelming testimony to Christ’s existence in religious and secular texts. Millions had in any case believed in Christ as both man and Son of God for 2,000 years.
“If Cascioli does not see the sun in the sky at midday, he cannot sue me because I see it and he does not,” Father Righi said.
Signor Cascioli said that the Gospels themselves were full of inconsistencies and did not agree on the names of the 12 apostles. He said that he would withdraw his legal action if Father Righi came up with irrefutable proof of Christ’s existence by the end of the month.
The Vatican has so far declined to comment.
The only evidence the Christians can provide, is the writings of the Christian Gospels in the New Testament which can be proved had been altered from its original texts. Those Christian Gospels writings do not prove that the Christian god, Je-Zeus Christ or “Christus” ever existed. The only actual historical sources available is writings from Tacitus, the Roman historian who lived from 55 to 120, mentions “Christus” in his Annals which he says: “Since the Christians constantly made disturbances at the instigation of Chrestus, Emperor Claudius expelled them from Rome.” In his Antiquities of the Jews at the end of the 1st century, Josephus, the Jewish historian, never had mentioned Je-Zeus Christ or “Christus” in his writings. There is a copy of Josephus writings which some Christian had forged an insertion into this copy with a reference to Jesus as "a wise man, a doer of wonderful works" who "drew over to him both many of the Jews and many of the Gentiles" to that document. An act of deliberate deception. No Jews believed that the Christian Je-Zeus Christ or "Christus" had actually existed, let alone that he was the "Messiah", or god, or the Son of God.

I had been going over my old files and I had come across this
interview of an ex-Christian called Mark. I think you might find interesting reading.
Those of you who are most familiar with my articles and web-content on the People
of the Holy Testament web site, which has been on "The Web" since 1998. Over the
course of that time, I have presented many arguments in exposing the truth about the
Christian Bible and of Christianity as a religion. However my perspectives on Biblical
inerrancy does not rest well with Christians. I asked Mark, who is an ex-Christian, how
he can still believein GOD, in light of his own viewpoints. This is going to be the focus
of this interview, what Mark believes about the Bible, if and how his beliefs have
changed during the past few years, and what his belief is at the present time.
So let me begin here with some questions to you, Mark... Back in 1999 when
you were involved and worked with Harold Camping and his Family Radio
ministry, you considered youself to be a reasonably conservative evangelical
Christian, right?
Mark: Yes.
Jean: Regarding Biblical inerrancy, you felt that the Bible was totally
reliable and authoritative?
Mark: Yes.
Jean: Looking back now, is there any scholar/teacher that you could identify
as having changed your views on this matter and how would you describe your
views on the Bible now?
Mark: As far back as I can remember, I had always believed that the Bible was
without error and without question, reliable on all matters it covers. Since I
viewed the Bible in this light, as literally the "Word of God", it was not
unusual for me to stay clear of situations where that belief may have been
compromised. Looking back, I remember being completely immersing in the Bible
where I felt safe and secure. Speaking on inerrancy, I’d have to say that Harold
Camping was probably my biggest influence at that time. As you may remember,
Harold Camping predicted the end of the world for Sept. 6th, 1994, and that of
Jesus Christ’s second coming. Needless to say, the world did not come to an end
and Jesus Christ did not return. But I continued on as a believer and carried
the basic Christian tenet of Bible inerrancy that Camping insisted on into my
Christian walk.
Jean: What do you think about Camping's latest prediction that the end of the
world will come on October 20, 2011?
Mark: Camping is full of crock. I feel sorry for those people who believe
him.
Jean: Are your views different now than they were then?
Mark: My views are considerably different now. However, this change did not
come about overnight but thru a long and developed progression. After the Harold
Camping folly, I began to venture out of my safe zone into other more open or
objective circles. I got caught up with reading material from that "Bible Answer
Man" on the People of the Holy Testament web site, and from there I became aware
of a whole community of apologetic writers through your writings and those I had
found on the Recomended Reading links on the People of the Holy Testament
Archive page that focused on dealing with skepticism. At that time, I remember
thinking: "finally, some solid answers." I’d say, from the end of 1999, to about
2002, is where most of my progression took place regarding Bible inerrancy. At
the height of this progression, my mind reflected back on those Christian
apologetic writings that always seemed to say the same thing, I began to realize
that those Christian books were for the most part, quite shallow. There really
never seemed to be much substance behind those books. As my mind began to hunger
for more explorative examinations, I began to venture outside of my safe and
secure zones I had been accustom to. By the end of 2002, 80% of my reading
encompassed books written by mainline academic scholars and legitimate biblical
scholars of an atheistic persuasion. The more I learned, the more I realized I
really didn’t know much. As I began to re-look at my Christian books, and some of my
own essays, I realized that I was no longer a Christian and was no longer an issue.
Jean: In what way are your views different?
Mark: While my views on elements or within the Bible are subject to being quite
different than before, my view on the Bible’s basic message of an existing creative God
who has an invested interest in humankind, is very much intact. I believe the books
that make up the Christian Bible (in its different versions) to be various human
reflections of God’s dealings with mankind and I believe these reflections are captured
in theological thoughts through Jewish historiography.
Jean: Who has influenced you to change your views?
Mark: You have greatly changed my views through your People of the Holy
Testament web site, as well as other known Biblical scholars on inspirational
matters. Basically, your boldness of not being afraid to speak the truth which
is not a popular thing to do within the greater Christian community that has influence me.
Jean: Based upon your knowladge of having been a Christian, what did
Christians at Fanily Radio think of my views on the Christian bible?
Mark: Oh; They criticize you for your views on the Bible. They do not
appreciated your critical thinking, your critical comments and observations and
have wondered if you have gone a little too far on occasion. Most think you are
of Satan.
Jean: Do you believe that this Satan really exist?
Mark: No; You have made it perfectly clear where that whole Satan myth had
originally come from. Christians are not comfortable with your views because you
make sense in what you say. Recently, a Christian had written to me out of
concern for having left the fold and said: "You are on your way to Hell for not
believing that Jesus Christ is God and that the Bible is not the Infallable Word
of God!" My response to that individual was to ask a couple of questions. Like:
"Did you know that Muslims also believe everything they read in the Koran? Did
you know that Mormons also believe everything they read in the Book of Mormon?"
Just because something is readable, does not make it true. God gave us critical
minds and surely He would not penalize a believer for being overly cautious.
Jean: In your opinion, what is the value and reliability of the Christian
Bible? How reliable is it in providing valuable information?
Mark: Those ancient recordings found in the biblical text, comes to light
when reading stories the reader can identify with and gain some insight from
them. In this respect, I probably differ little from the typical Christian
perspective. The difference is that I don’t view all these stories as being
literally "The Word of God" as Christians clain but rather as human reflections.
Hence, in my view, the reliability of the Bible has its limitations.
Note from Jean: I have become acquainted with Camping's preaching and found him
to be totally ignorant on how or when the writings of the Gospels were corrupted,
selected and then compiled to make the "books" known as the New Testament
that is part of the Christian bible. I have made some observations on Camping and his
teaching and wrote my findings on the People of the Holy Testament web site. Camping
is very much a part of the thousands of various Christian denominations within that
apostate, perverted religion of Christianity, from the Roman Catholic, to the smallest
protestant churches with only a dozen members within them, though he does not want
to admit to that fact. What I find interesting, is that among the various denominations,
you will find that they tend to give different interpretations on many of the same text
they read from their bible. Camping has really gone way off the mark, in the way he
interprets biblical text. He calls it " the hidden meanings" when there are none. But
that is not surprising, given that I have found Christians to be so confused in what they
believe in their Christian religion. A real mystery religion, Mystery Babylon, that is.
People who had been working for Camping claim that their is a lot of contention among Camping's ministry, and his
board is undermining the entire ministry. "Everyone is in turmoil about his end of the
world in October 20, 2011 stand, says an ex-staff member. Harold's position on
his end-time events is his own business, and he is using Family Radio as his own
personal forum to promote his book, Time has an End. He uses Open Forum so he can
talk about 2011 and has even gone so far as to counsel people who call in not to
make any long-term plans because his phony god, Je-Zeus Christ is coming back very
soon. Camping has no formal theological education, and feels that rather than worrying
about sowing deception or erroneous predictions, he's getting out the message that
the world will come to an end in the year of 2011. "If I am correct in this, and there is
every indication that I am, we have a very short time left to get right with God." This he
says very deliberately. He tells callers that he has fifty years under his belt in studying
the Bible, and that he know what he is talking about. He warns people that when
October 20, 2011 arrives, no one else can become saved because the end has come.
Camping had made a previous prediction that the world was coming to an end in his
controversial 562-page book, 1994? which we know that the world had not come to an
end and that his phony god had not shown up. Yet; Camping uses the very same
arguments to give credibility to his latest prediction. I will not hesitate to bring Harold
Camping and all those Christians ministries who had proclaimed that their fictitious
god, Je-Zeus Christ is comming real soon, I am going to bring them to task and go all
out to expose those deceivers and charlatans after October 20, 2011 have well gone
by and the world had not come to an end nor had their phantom god come to claim this
world. I have up to now, not really begun the real battle for GOD, truth, honor, integrity
and a hope which is real.
