Most people are afraid of God. No, let me rephrase that. They are not afraid OF God… they are afraid God is unfair! The FEAR of the LORD, the fear to DISOBEY the Lord, is a good thing. But that’s not what I mean. They fear that God is UNFAIR. They don’t TRUST God, would be another way of phrasing it.

These people are afraid to look at someone and say “He’s doing that wrong”, for fear that God will make them go through the same things that person is going through, to teach them a lesson.

People who believe like this believe that God is a hard, and an austere man who is waiting for a man to say “I am righteous” – so that He can CRUSH HIM! The case in point, of course, is the parable of the talents. This man FEARED God. And isn’t that a good thing? Read the rest of this entry »

There is something I’ve always wondered; as you probably know, there are two places in the Bible that are called holy, from the very beginning, namely, Jerusalem and Sinai. So why are they Holy? Of course, we have plenty of reasons for Jerusalem to be holy – Christ was killed there, Melchizedek’s “office” seems to have been there, Isaac was offered there, and God, Himself will one day dwell there…

But Sinai?

Sinai was the place where the law was given, granted – and God did come down and spend a great deal of time on top of the mountain – but… THAT can’t be what made it holy… because it was holy before Moses ever set foot there! Read the rest of this entry »

Throughout history followers of God have always been accused of horrible atrocities; rumors spread by those who half-understood and fully hated the Christians and the Israelites before them. This is a normal mechanism for people to whip up a frenzy in a mob against a group that judges them and considers themselves to have access to the only true God – in the process denying Molech or Jupiter or the Trinity.

For example, “the accusation that Jews worshiped the ass was for four centuries persistently made by certain Greek and Latin writers.” (Jewish Encylopedia, “Ass-worship”), including Mnaseas of Patras who claimed that “the Jews worshiped the head of a golden ass”, Damocritus takes it further and asserts that “the Jews reverenced the head of a golden ass, to which every seven years they sacrificed a foreigner, whom they seized for that purpose, and cut his flesh into small pieces.”

Several other ancient writers such as Plutarch, Julius Florus, Suidas, and Diodorus all added to or referenced this legend, which lasted at least 400 years. The common belief was that there was a head or statue of a golden donkey in the holy of holies that the Jews secretly reverenced, and occasionally sacrificed a few humans to appease.

Later after the church had become Christian and largely moved away from the middle-east towards Europe, the Romans were suspicious of the judgmental cult and spread all sorts of rumors about what Christians “really believed”. Rumors of child sacrifice, incest and cannibalism were popular ones.

This of course was after Nero blamed them for burning Rome, an act which he did himself and merely used them as they were already hated and hence made easy targets for the blame. All of this is just to show that the false church or the heathens around them have always made up stories about the true followers and church of God. Specifically stories about eating children, sacrificing strangers, and worshiping strange animals. And now a bit of history:

We’ve all heard of Transylvania. It’s where Dracula was from, and is famous as the abode of all sorts of werewolves and vultures. Not everyone knows it is a real place on the map, located in modern-day Romania. And very few realize it was a home of many sabbath-keepers in the 16th-18th centuries… Read the rest of this entry »
