Pagan infiltration through traditions into the Christian faith is a reality. May anyone that reads this article realize that my intent is to shed the truth of God. Out of love, I hope to educate people to the way Satan has infiltrated all denominations. The carnal spirit of man, or Satan is a spirit that comes to kill, steal, and destroy God's way. Satan is very, very real and present. Every man is born with this spirit, the carnal nature. This spirit being the serpent lays waiting to slay you.
I want this to be very clear! You can look at the spirit of man two ways the same as you can look at white, or the flesh. There is the flesh of man (CARNAL MIND), and the flesh of God (MIND OF CHRIST). White can appear as good, or evil, but only the spirit of God can discern between the two. Because the two exist, the spirit of man can be defined as first Adam, or second Adam. (Eccl 3:21 KJV) Who knoweth the SPIRIT OF MAN (Last Adam) that goeth upward, and the SPIRIT OF THE BEAST (First Adam) that goeth downward to the earth? (Prov 20:27 KJV) The SPIRIT OF MAN (Last Adam) is the CANDLE of the LORD, SEARCHING all the INWARD PARTS of the BELLY. ( 1Cor 2:10) But God hath REVEALED them unto US BY HIS SPIRIT (Last Adam) for the SPIRIT SEARCHETH ALL THINGS, yea, the DEEP THINGS of God. (1 Cor 2:11 KJV) For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the SPIRIT OF MAN (First Adam) which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God (Spirit Of Last Adam).
You must remember that the son of man, Jesus Christ, had a spirit. The spirit of this man was the spirit of God. This is the same spirit that we receive when we are born again. (Ezek 11:19 KJV) And I will give them ONE HEART (NEW HEART) and I will put a NEW SPIRIT (SPIRIT OF CHRIST) within you; and I will take the STONY HEART out of their FLESH (CARNAL MIND), and will give them an HEART OF FLESH (NEW MIND OF CHRIST JESUS) We are now flesh of his flesh, and bone of his bones. (Eph 5:30 KJV) For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
SATAN - 7854. Satan, saw-tawn'; from H7853; AN OPPONENT: espec. (with the art. pref.) SATAN, the ARCH - ENEMY OF GOOD: - ADVERSARY, SATAN, WITHSTAND. ARCH MEANS, to COVER or PROVIDE with an ARCH.
We are either for God, or against him. Which means, if we are against him we are Antichrist. (Mat 6:24 KJV) No man can SERVE TWO MASTERS: for either he will HATE THE ONE, and LOVE THE OTHER; or else he will HOLD TO the ONE, and DESPISE the OTHER. Ye CANNOT SERVE GOD and MAMMON. MAMMON means to CONCEIVE OF or REPRESENT as a PERSON, or having HUMAN QUALITIES or POWERS. Jesus is plainly stating we cannot serve ourselves, Satan the SPIRIT OF THE OLD MAN.
The COVERING of man is the SKIN. Adam was COVERED with the skins of beast, AS WE ARE. I believe this to be represented by the two cherubim that was rent on the veil that led into the Holy of Hollies. These two cherubim, at present, I believe to represent the (SPIRIT OF THE OLD MAN) and the carnal nature. Man is barred from the Holy of Hollies through the flesh of the old man, and legalism of the law. These covering cherubim try to imitate the cherubim of God through the law, (OUTSIDE HOLINESS). Their covering is the flesh (CARNAL MIND) this covering, or curtain must be rent, and destroyed.
We must enter into the Holy of Hollies, and be covered by the two cherubim of God. These cherubim of God are represented by the two cherubim that are in alignment with God. These cherubim reflect the image of God, the saints the church. I believe these cherubim to represent LAW AND GRACE. When the law is fulfilled through Christ Jesus, it is no longer of the carnal nature. I know this because the law was inside the ARK OF THE COVENANT, which was in the Holy of Hollies.
Now the fulfilled law is in us the saints that contain THE HOLY OF HOLLIES. The law being fulfilled can now be in the presence of the Lord. The ARK OF THE COVENANT was a type and shadow of Jesus. Inside of the ark was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant. In us there is the BREAD OF LIFE (JESUS), ALMONDS THE FIRST FRUIT OF THE SEASON UNTO GOD, and the LAW WHICH IS FULFILLED IN US.
(Heb 11:40) God having provided some better thing for us, that THEY WITHOUT us should not be MADE PERFECT. God spoke from the mercy seat BRIDGING the GAP through his angel. Since God bridged the GAP it makes the church one. (Eph 2:20 KJV) And are BUILT upon the FOUNDATION of the APOSTLES and PROPHETS, JESUS CHRIST himself being the CHIEF CORNER STONE. Therefore all are saved by grace. Many saints of old found grace in God's eyes. The law is not done away with, but fulfilled in us.
I believe this teaching of the covering to be in agreement with the horses of Revelation. Two cherubim of God connected with the white horse, and the black horse (PURITY and JUDGMENT). The cherubim of Satan connected with the red horse, and the pale horse. These horses represent flaws in the covering according to the laws of leprosy. The cherubim of the false church spotted with the legalism, and holiness of man. (Jer 12:9 KJV) MINE HERITAGE is unto me as a SPECKLED BIRD, the birds round about are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour.
This teaching of the cherubim agrees with the vision that I saw. In the vision by the river of Chebar. Lining up with the days of creation. On the fifth day (Gen 1:20 KJV) And God said, Let the WATERS BRING forth ABUNDANTLY the MOVING CREATURE that HATH LIFE, and FOWL that may FLY ABOVE the EARTH in the OPEN FIRMAMENT of HEAVEN. (Gen 1:21 KJV) And God created GREAT WHALES, and EVERY LIVING CREATURE that MOVETH, which the WATERS brought FORTH ABUNDANTLY, after THEIR KIND, and EVERY WINGED FOWL after HIS KIND: and God saw that it was good.
Winged Cherubim after their kind. GOD'S CHURCH from the SEED OF GOD, good ground. SATAN'S CHURCH from the SEED of SATAN, or MAN, which become the WHORE AFTER IT'S KIND. These come forth from unholy ground. They present their body as a sacrifice of ungodliness. Cain's sacrifice was unholy being presented from the ground that had been cursed. Creation of the cherubim on the fifth day agrees with the parable of the TEN VIRGINS. (Mat 25:1 KJV) Then shall the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN be likened unto TEN VIRGINS, which took their LAMPS, and went forth to MEET THE BRIDEGROOM. (Mat 25:2 KJV) And FIVE of them WERE WISE, and FIVE were FOOLISH. The CHERUBIM of God represented by the WISE VIRGINS. The CHERUBIM of Satan represented by the five FOOLISH VIRGINS.
I believe the curtains or TABERNACLE to reveal this parable of the ten foolish virgins. Five curtains coupled together with one cherubim on each. Five curtains when coupled together made one curtain. Then we had two curtains representing the five wise virgins and five foolish virgins. (Exo 26:1 KJV) Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with TEN curtains of FINE TWINED LINEN, and BLUE, and PURPLE and SCARLET: with CHERUBIM of CUNNING WORK SHALT THOU MAKE THEM. (Exo 26:2 KJV) The length of one curtain shall be eight and twenty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and every one of the curtains shall have one measure. (Exo 26:3 KJV) The FIVE CURTAINS shall be COUPLED TOGETHER ONE TO ANOTHER; and OTHER FIVE CURTAINS shall be COUPLED ONE TO ANOTHER. This made two curtains that ended up making one tabernacle (THE GREAT HOUSE). The five wise virgins allowed the law to be fulfilled in them. The flesh of the carnal man rent and done away with. The five foolish virgins represents the law unfulfilled through legalism.
The veil OF THE HOLY OF HOLLIES is rent and destroyed through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. We enter in now by the flesh of the new man. This is the first resurrection that takes place in us. The law is fulfilled and shows through the fruit we bring forth.
There are two tabernacles: The unholy tabernacle of the old man. (Acts 7:43 KJV) Yea, ye took up the TABERNACLE of MOLOCH, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon. The holy tabernacle of the LORD'S is (US, THE SAINTS). (Rev 15:5 KJV) And after that I looked, and, behold, the TEMPLE of the TABERNACLE of the TESTIMONY in HEAVEN was OPENED, (US, THE BOOKS). (Rev 21:3 KJV) And I heard a GREAT VOICE out of HEAVEN saying, Behold, the TABERNACLE of GOD is WITH MEN, and he WILL DWELL with them, and they SHALL BE HIS PEOPLE, and GOD HIMSELF SHALL BE WITH THEM, and BE THEIR GOD. This is now fulfilled in us through the revelation of Jesus Christ. We are raised to the EIGHTH DAY, the FIRST RESURRECTION.
The cherubim Satan (THE WHORE) is dressed the same as the true church's cherubim. (Rev 17:4 KJV) And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: This is why John marveled.
The one difference is the cup that the whore holds, contains damnation to the ones that drink from her cup. If we drink from the cup that Jesus drinks from we receive eternal life. The cup the church holds REPRESENTS the blood of Jesus, (HIS DEATH) which covers our sins. (Mat 20:22 KJV) But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. ARE ye ABLE to DRINK of the CUP that I shall DRINK OF, and to be BAPTIZED with the BAPTISM that I am BAPTIZED WITH? They say unto him, WE ARE ABLE. (Mat 20:23 KJV) And he saith unto them, Ye SHALL DRINK indeed of my CUP, and be BAPTIZED with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but IT SHALL BE GIVEN TO THEM (ALL SAINTS) for whom it is PREPARED of MY FATHER. It is given to all of the saints to sit at the right hand of God. This happens when we are baptized into his death (THIS IS THE CUP). When we are baptized with the Holy Ghost we received the right hand of fellowship with God. This fellowship was lost by the first Adam.
These TABERNACLES are the great house. (2 Tim 2:20 KJV) But in a GREAT HOUSE there are not only VESSELS of GOLD and of SILVER, but also of WOOD and of EARTH; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOR.
Through the blood of the sacrifice that the High Priest took into the Holy of Hollies. The High Priest bridged the gap, and applied the blood to the four horns. This made atonement for the sins of Israel. Now we enter in by a new and a living way. (Heb 10:20 KJV) By a NEW and LIVING WAY, which he hath CONSECRATED for us, through the VEIL, that is to say, his FLESH (HOLY MIND). The spiritual flesh of the Lord Jesus Christ is holy. We take on this flesh by taking on his mind, or spirit which is the Holy Ghost.
The CHURCH and the FALSE CHURCH come out of the DARK NORTH COUNTRY. There is only one great house. The CHERUBIM OF THE FALSE CHURCH APPEAR to have the same GIFTS that the true church DISPLAY. These cherubim (UNHOLY) are not manifested the same as the cherubim of God (SAINTS).
What MANIFESTED to the whole world, that Jesus was GOD MANIFESTED in the FLESH? Jesus was LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONGSUFFERING, GENTLENESS, GOODNESS, FAITH, MEEKNESS, TEMPERANCE: against such there is NO LAW. This fruit is the evidence of the Holy Ghost being displayed. The Holy Ghost is the ONE TRUE SPIRIT of GOD. His ultimate gift to you and I. Has the fruit been perfected in you, proving that you are a son of God? God is the giver of the gifts of his spirit. The fulness of the true spirit of God cannot be mimicked (THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT).
The true church is covered by the spirit of the living God. The false church is covered by the cherubim of the old man, Satan. This cherubim is on the outside of the Holy Of Hollies. (Ezek 28:16 KJV) By the MULTITUDE OF THY MERCHANDISE they have FILLED THE MIDST of THEE with VIOLENCE, and thou hast SINNED: therefore I will CAST THEE as PROFANE OUT OF THE MOUNTAIN OF GOD: and I WILL DESTROY THEE, O COVERING CHERUB, from the midst of the STONES OF FIRE. The nation of (CARNAL) Israel was this cherub, always killing the prophets. The cherub of God IS the law and the prophets.
We are saved by grace through the PREACHING of the PROPHETS. (Rev 19:10 KJV) And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the TESTIMONY OF JESUS: WORSHIP GOD: for the TESTIMONY OF JESUS is the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY. These are the (OLIVE TREES) OLD SAINTS AND NEW SAINTS being bridged together so that the SPIRIT OF PROPHESY can go forth. THESE ARE THE TWO WITNESSES. (MAT 22:39 KJV) THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS were until JOHN: since that time the KINGDOM OF GOD is PREACHED and every man presseth into it. (Mat 22:40 KJV) On these TWO COMMANDMENTS HANG ALL the LAW and the PROPHETS. The prophets of old and the prophets of today witnesses that the law is righteous being now fulfilled. Therefore the TWO WITNESSES are the LAW and the PROPHETS.
(Gen 3:21 KJV) Unto ADAM also and to his WIFE did the LORD God make COATS of SKINS, and CLOTHED THEM. David said, (Psa 73:22 KJV) So foolish was I, and IGNORANT: I was as a BEAST before thee. Our covering is impure and the CARNAL NATURE wants us to try and COVER OURSELVES. (Isa 30:1 KJV) Woe to the REBELLIOUS children, saith the LORD, that take COUNSEL, BUT NOT OF ME; and that COVER with a COVERING, BUT NOT OF MY SPIRIT, that they may ADD SIN to SIN. Covering themselves with the justification of the carnal mind, cherubim of Satan, or faith of the false church.
Adam and Eve tried to cover themselves from being naked before God. They sewed FIG LEAVES together, and MADE THEMSELVES APRONS. This COVERING however was not enough to please God. Like the FIG TREE that did not BEAR FRUIT, the LEAVES were NOT ENOUGH. (Mat 21:19 KJV) And when he saw a FIG TREE in the way, he came to it, and FOUND NOTHING THEREON, but LEAVES ONLY, and said unto it, Let NO FRUIT GROW on thee HENCEFORWARD for EVER. And presently the FIG TREE WITHERED AWAY. Adam and Eve in their nakedness had no fruit unto God. Unless God covers us with his spirit, we are naked in the same way, AND CANNOT PRODUCE GOOD FRUIT.
The true church consist of the people that belong to the body of Jesus Christ. Not the people who belong to denominations which are the organizations of men. You cannot join the true church by signing a book, or becoming a part of some organization. You must be led by the spirit of God and be called by his name. Here is a list of pagan practices that were integrated into the Roman Catholic Church. These practices have entered into all denominations, and into all cultures of the world.
I leave all to decide where you stand on these issues, but there is no doubt that the origins of these practices were pagan. Do not hate anyone, nor try to take authority by constraint. I do believe that our children and love ones should be made aware of these facts, and taught the truth. Wisdom must be used in these areas. I rejoice as Paul did. (Phil 1:18 KJV) What then? NOTWITHSTANDING, EVERY WAY, whether in PRETENCE, or in TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do REJOICE, YEA, and will REJOICE.
Men at Christmas, and Easter out of what they think is holy will attend church. This is an excellent time to preach Jesus Christ and him crucified. (1 Cor 9:22 KJV) To the WEAK became I as WEAK, that I might GAIN the WEAK: I am made ALL THINGS to ALL MEN, that I might by ALL MEANS SAVE SOME. Do not sin, but do not take away the hope of the weak. Pray for wisdom in these areas.
Babylon doctrine that started in Babylon lies in the nature of the spirit of the carnal man. This doctrine of men has infiltrated into all of the world through the Roman Catholic Church. The Roman Catholic Church is a continuation of the Babylon religion. The office of the Pope is Satan manifested in the flesh as Antichrist. What you must be concerned with however, is what power rules your life. If you are standing before God refusing to accept the ways of God, you are just as Antichrist as the Pope. The carnal spirit of man is Satan.
The Pope is the highest example of the carnal spirit of man that we can see in the natural. He rules the nations of Gog and Magog. Gog and Magog consist of all religions and denominations of men that teach the doctrine of Trinity. You do not have to be a ROMAN CATHOLIC to believe in a trinity. All religions, AND DENOMINATIONS of men contain parts of these pagan religions.
The question is who is a miniature Pope? Anyone who has been raised to the resurrection of damnation committing the acts of Cain, Balaam, and Core have taken the mark of the beast. These men are the sons of perdition, as was Judas. Satan's fruit manifested in the flesh (YOUR CARNAL FLESH, OR THE CARNAL MIND) is Antichrist.
(Acts 15:20 KJV) But that we write unto them, that they ABSTAIN from POLLUTIONS of IDOLS, and from FORNICATION, and from things STRANGLED, and from BLOOD. Judas was strangled SPIRITUALLY and even hanged himself IN THE NATURE. Judas caused the blood of RIGHTEOUS ABEL (JESUS) to be SHED. Because of this his BOWELS GUSHED OUT, he was a BROKEN SPIRITUAL VESSEL that COULD NOT HOLD WATER. He committed FORNICATION with the DAUGHTERS of MEN when he SOLD OUT JESUS.
Cain killed his brother, and grew jealous. Korah raised himself up to judge MOSES. Balaam sold out the children of ISRAEL, and made then commit fornication.
1. HOLY TRINITY - was STARTED IN THE NICENE 325 A. D. and evolved to its present state over a period of four centuries.
2. SIGN OF THE CROSS - Originated in the MYSTIC " TAU " used by the BABYLONIAN and EGYPTIAN CULTS.
3. ROSARY - used for MAGIC PURPOSES by the ROMANS and BABYLONIANS.
4. CONFESSION - COUNCIL of TRENT, 1551
5. CHRISTMAS - CHRIST - MASS, a HEATHEN FESTIVAL observed on DEC 24 and 25 to HONOR the SON of BABYLONIAN QUEEN ASTARTE.
6. EASTER - one of the names used to CELEBRATE one of the Babylonian TITLES of ISHTAR, the QUEEN OF HEAVEN.
7. WORSHIP OF IMAGES AND IDLES - authorized around 788 A.D. by the ROMAN CATHOLICS
8. SAINT VALENTINE'S DAY - from the ancient ROMAN FEAST of LUPERCALIS, for lovers.
9. HALLOWEEN - October 31, preceding the CHRISTIAN FEAST of HALLOWMAS, ALLHALLOWS, or ALL SAINTS DAY. The observances connected with HALLOWEEN are thought to have ORIGINATED among the ANCIENT DRUIDS, who believed that on that evening, SAMAN, the LORD of the DEAD, called forth HOSTS of EVIL SPIRITS.
10. CHRISTMAS TREE - (Jer 10:3 KJV) For 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 AX. (Jer 10:4 KJV) They DECK it with SILVER and with GOLD they FASTEN it with NAILS and with HAMMERS, that it move not.
(Rev 13:8) And ALL that DWELL UPON THE EARTH shall WORSHIP HIM, whose NAMES ARE NOT WRITTEN in the BOOK OF LIFE of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (Rev 13:16) And he causeth ALL, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to RECEIVE A MARK in their RIGHT HAND, or in their FOREHEADS: Here we see unless our name is written in favor with GOD. We will have no choice, but to worship the beast (THE CARNAL SPIRIT OF MAN, SATAN).
Notice in these verses that it states ALL that ARE NOT IN THE BOOK OF LIFE. That is why Paul warns: (Col 2:8) Beware lest any man SPOIL YOU through PHILOSOPHY and VAIN DECEIT, after the TRADITION of MEN, after the RUDIMENTS of the WORLD, and NOT AFTER CHRIST. (Col 2:9) For IN HIM DWELLETH ALL the FULNESS of the GODHEAD BODILY.
You will never find a MORE PAGAN TRADITION and UNGODLY TRUTH than the UNHOLY TRINITY. This LIE has deceived people into worshipping pagan gods out of ignorance, not understanding the Godhead.
All civilizations from Babylon down have worshiped trinities. Egyptians, Chaldeans, Babylonians, Assyrians, Hindoo, Buddhist, Gaulish - Celts, Teutonic's - Scandinavians, Greeks, Romans, Phrygians, Persians, Chinese, American Indian tribes, Hawaiians, and Polynesians. Sadly, the Trinity doctrine was brought into the, (SO CALLED) Christian faith by the early fathers of the false church, (ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH).
(Rev 17:5) And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Babylon, the north country, is us before we receive Jesus Christ. TRINITY DOCTRINE is the CONCEPT of THE GODHEAD THROUGH the EYES of the CARNAL MIND. All TRINITY DOCTRINES are CREATED THROUGH the SPIRIT of MAN, CARNAL MIND, OR SATAN.
The Trinity doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church has developed completely over a period of four centuries in the Nicene and pseudo - Athanasian creeds. The early Catholic fathers were converts from the pagan religions. These HERETICS blended paganism with the Christian faith. The triad and Trinity that the Roman Catholic fathers adopted is said to have originated with PLATO, " SEE GIBBONS DECLINE AND FALL OF ROME" volume 11 page 21.
DEFINITIONS: monotheism, dualism, trinity
1. MONOTHEISM is the belief that there is but one supreme God. "King."
2. DUALISM is the theory that there are two basic substances, or principles such as mind and body.
3. TRINITY - In God there are three divine persons, the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. THE THREE DIVINE PERSONS, though really DISTINCT from ONE ANOTHER, are ONE and the SAME GOD, because ALL THREE have the same divine nature. " REVISED EDITION OF THE BALTIMORE CATACLYSM NO. 2."
Before the Roman Catholic Church defined the UNHOLY TRINITY it did not exist. In the GODHEAD and DOCTRINE of Jesus Christ it never will. (John 4:24) GOD IS A SPIRIT: and they that worship him must WORSHIP HIM in SPIRIT and in TRUTH. (Romans 1:23) And changed the GLORY of the UNCORRUPTIBLE GOD into an IMAGE made LIKE TO CORRUPTIBLE MAN, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and CREEPING THINGS. The spirit of God, Son, and Holy Ghost is one and the same SPIRIT. The IMAGE of the WHORE, FALLEN EVE, is the mother of the serpents. FALLEN EVE, THE FALSE CHURCH, continues to give birth to serpents. Modern day Pharisees are vipers today just as Jesus called the Pharisees of his time SERPENTS.
Ethic Trinities That Exist Or Existed
1. Greek - Father Zeus, Poseidon, Hades
2. Egyptian - Osiris, Iris, Horus
3. Babylonian - Anu, Bel, Ea
4. Hindoo - Brahma, Vishnu, Civa
5. Romans - Jupiter, Juno, Minerva
6. India - Dyans, Indra, Agni
I do not have time nor space to mention many of these trinities but the Christian Trinitarian dogma, as set forth in the Nicene Creed, was the SLOW GROWTH OF CENTURIES and was derived from various historical and traditional sources. Justin Martyr, an early Catholic father, was converted from paganism. Tertullian, Alexander Bishop of Alexander, Athanasius, Basil, and his brother Gregory of Nyssa were all instrumental in leading the Roman Catholic Church into the pagan belief of the Trinity. Most of this happened between the third and seventh century.
When Constantine The Great became the first Catholic Christian Emperor, it really helped the cause of the false church to grow. Constantine was a devoted worshiper of Helios or Apollo, the sun god, and a nephew of Julian. Constantine conceived and executed the design and summoning of the COUNCIL OF NICE 325 AD. This convention was for the purpose of reconciliation among the contentious prelates and churches. The divine nature of Christ and his precise relationship to the Almighty Creator was to be discussed in order to determine the true Christian doctrine. True Christians know that this was DONE in the BIBLE BY THE APOSTLES.
What was determined in this Council of Nice has allowed the pagan belief of a Holy Trinity (UNHOLY TRINITY) to be mixed with the true doctrine of God today. The whore or false church is trying to destroy the truth about the Godhead. These early ROMAN CATHOLIC FATHERS (HERETICS) were still into paganism. This doctrine is being preached today by Trinitarians that do not understand the Godhead.
To show how even more pagan symbols were worked into the Roman Catholic Church, we will discuss the cross. I believe when the sign of the cross is made (THAT REPRESENTS THE UNHOLY TRINITY) we actually see the MARK OF THE BEAST being displayed IN THE NATURAL. It's a belief, or mark that has been implanted in the forehead, or mind. This SIGN is DISPLAYED by the RIGHT-HAND.
The cross was not an original symbol started by the Christians. The Greek and MALTESE CROSS, with FOUR ARMS of equal length, which is worn by ROMAN POPES on the BREAST, appears on the BREASTS of ASSYRIAN KINGS NINE OR TEN CENTURIES before the birth of Christ.
This has been discovered and witnessed to by Assyria - Babylonian cylinders in the British Museum. Of all RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS, the CROSS stands out SUPREME in its DIGNITY and in its universal use according to history. It has been found on the vestments of Greek gods and goddesses, but also on the TUNIC OF ATHENA and on the BREAST OF APOLLO. Remember CONSTANTINE the GREAT was a WORSHIPPER of APOLLO.
The way the cross was developed after the time of Constantine in the fourth century are matters of Christian history. According to history, the cross on which Jesus was crucified was either a STRAIGHT STAKE, or of a T shape. The practice of MAKING A SIGN OF THE CROSS was common according to TERTULLIAN in the second century. Since it's a FACT that the Roman Catholic Church GREW largely out of PAGAN SOIL, and that MANY ANCESTRAL PAGAN IDEAS and CUSTOMS were merely TRANSFORMED and ADOPTED into their faith, it became a MIXTURE of PAGANISM and CHRISTIAN SYMBOLS. Sadly, they are called true Christian beliefs BY THE FALSE CHURCH.
These were not the BELIEFS of the early Christians and Apostles according to the bible. Still, a lot of this doctrine, is among the denominations today.
Ethnic Trinities page 202 states," Christian Trinitarian dogma, with its cardinal logos doctrine, is the direct lineal descendant of the Platonic dualistic idealism. Page 244 states: " The Christian Trinity in fact, is not only historically connected with the Ethnic trinities, but has also an intimate logical and internal relationship." In paganism the perfect number, is three because it contains " the beginning, the middle, and the end."
Apostolic denominations preach the doctrine of Trinitarian philosophy and use charts that were conceived by the Trinity denominations. Apostolic denominations such as the United Pentecostal and Assemblies of Jesus Christ preach ALMOST IDENTICAL DOCTRINE when preaching THE BOOK OF REVELATION. They have the same doctrine as Clarence Larkin, Dr. Oliver B. Green, Dr. Vernon J. McGee, and Hal Lindsey, Pat Robertson, and the T.B.N.
These denominations have more light, baptizing in Jesus name and seeing the Godhead; but they fall back miserably not understanding the book that was written by John. The reason they fall back is that they believe the doctrine of these Trinitarians.
This shows how all denominations have stopped seeking more truth, being limited by forming organizations. If you believe any other doctrine, it makes you some other denomination. No longer are they led by God, but by the limitations of the doctrine that has been accepted by the organization.
This always leads back to tradition and paganism. It is serving the creature more than the creator by taking away the right of the spirit of God, to lead you. Therefore, you cannot be led into more knowledge and truth. (Romans 8:14) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
When you see the symbol of the nimbus or aureole, it's a pagan symbol. It's often used around the head of Catholic Saints. Mary, who took the place of ATHENA (the pagan virgin queen) by becoming the ever virgin mother, is often seen with an aureole around her head. The Roman Catholic Church has designated Mary as Queen of Heaven. Mary is the real mediator between man and God, an immediate object of intercessory prayer. The wonder never ceases that in the old, historic Catholic Church, represented today in the Roman Communion, the mother is being recognized as true queen of heaven. She is enthroned by the side of Christ himself. Already, Catholic theologians are seeking to add a fourth person to the divine Trinity.
The Roman Catholic Church has changed things down through time. Each Pope, " The Vicar of Christ," is now considered infallible when determining church doctrine. The truth is NO OTHER MAN HOLDING AN OFFICE HAS BEEN RESPONSIBLE for more DEATHS and HIDEOUS CRIMES TOWARD MANKIND than the POPE. Read about the PAPAL INQUISITIONS and how the POPE was RESPONSIBLE FOR MORE MURDER and BARBARISM than HITLER ever was. The Pope is a false prophet that deceives many into believing a lie and being dammed.
The image of the beast is the Roman Catholic Church and her offspring, the harlots, denominations, or religions of men. Come out from Babylon be ye a separate people. If you are not serving God, you are the only Antichrist that you should be concerned with. You are Gog and Magog the image of the whore. Do not go so far that your CONSCIENCE ARE SEARED, AND you are raised to the RESURRECTION OF DAMNATION. (1 Tim 4:2 KJV) Speaking LIES in HYPOCRISY; having their CONSCIENCE SEARED with a HOT IRON.
