Yesterday, I made mention of the cult of Mithras, and today, I've delved deeper into the subject following additional research. Mithras, known as a sun god, shares intriguing connections with other deities from various cultures. Intriguingly, it is my opinion that through the assimilation of various cultures the name of the sun god Baal evolved into Mithras, Bel, Marduk, and even Jupiter.
Furthermore, the concept of a deity convincing their followers that they are the chosen people is a recurring theme in religious history. In such cases, priests and scribes often played crucial roles in interpreting religious texts, crafting narratives, and shaping the beliefs of the community to align with the idea of chosen through prophesy.
These priests and scribes would interpret prophecies, myths, and historical events in ways that reinforce the notion of the chosen status of their people. They might emphasise stories of divine intervention, victories in battle, or other signs of favor from the deity to validate this belief.
Additionally, religious texts and scriptures would be carefully curated and edited to highlight passages that support the chosen narrative while downplaying or reinterpreting conflicting passages. This process of selective interpretation and editing helped to solidify the belief in the chosen status of the community.
Rituals, ceremonies, and religious festivals would be designed to reinforce the chosen narrative and instill a sense of identity, purpose, and obligation among the followers of the deity.
Overall, the concept of a chosen people and the role of priests and scribes in promoting this belief highlight the dynamic relationship between religious authority, interpretation, and communal identity in ancient societies.
Then along came Christ the true God incarnate, who lived among humanity, offering salvation and reconciliation. Despite Jesus identifying himself as the Son of God, the scribes attempted to fit his ancestry into their narrative to align with societal expectations and religious prophecies, particularly regarding the Messiah's lineage from King David.
The differences in Jesus' genealogy among the Gospels could reflect discrepancies in historical accuracy. The genealogies provided in Matthew and Luke do not match precisely, and scholars have debated the reasons for these differences. While some explanations focus on theological or narrative factors, others suggest that there may have been errors or discrepancies in the transmission of genealogical information over time.
"What profit has not that fable of Christ brought us" Pope Leo X
Only it wasn't a fable.
Just as Jesus confronted the risk of execution for challenging the Jewish religious authorities of his time, the Catholic Inquisition similarly punished those deemed heretical or disobedient.
Why does this matter? Since turning to Christ and striving to live a righteous life, I've experienced visions and what seems to be divine communication, with a message that resonates deeply: 'You are the carbon they want to eradicate'. Despite this, someone has attempted to persuade me that these experiences are actually communication with a sun god. It's essential to recognise that these are two distinct deities.
The symbol of the solar bird representing the sun god emerged from birds' association with the sky, their solar-like attributes, and their mythological connections to solar deities. It became a potent symbol of the sun's radiant power and life-giving qualities in various cultures and artistic traditions. This is my unedited photo following my visions but Christ is NOT a sun god! Our divine creator is our true God.

Jeremiah 8:8-9 from the King James Version (KJV):
"How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain. The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the Lord; and what wisdom is in them?"
Similar to those who seek communion with lesser deities or spirits in practices like Voodoo, Santeria, and Palo Mayombe, believers in Christ desire the presence of the Holy Spirit within them. I speculate that I may have successfully broken the seals, allowing for this divine connection.
I hold no attachment to material possessions and strive to rid myself of vices such as pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth. I also live in a cave.
Thinking out loud
Why did a UK politician appear to express amusement during the Queen's funeral? Could it be that he shares the belief in her immortality, a concept rooted in the understanding that we are all manifestations of cosmic energy?
In my view, the initial concept of the crown arose from the symbolism of bull horns, representing attributes such as strength, power, and divine authority.
The depiction of kings and royalty on currency serves to elevate and idolise them, contributing to a culture of deification. However, as beings of energy, we also possess inherent immortality, and our destiny after death is determined by our actions. Yet, under the guise of this pagan system, we've been misled into worshiping false gods or none, and perpetuating division among ourselves, while the true divine creator loves all equally. A benevolent deity wouldn't advocate for conflict, sacrifice, or the pursuit of material wealth at the expense of others.
As for the concept of a chosen people, I believe it's not about different DNA, but rather about shared spiritual or cultural identity. While some religious traditions may assert the idea of chosen, I hold that it's based on adherence to certain principles or teachings rather than genetic differences. In my view, true spirituality emphasizes universal love and acceptance for all humanity. Racism is a human construct NOT inline with divine principles.
I sincerely believe that many have been led astray. Christ, in my conviction, is the incarnation of our God. It's my belief that we are being manipulated to avoid breaking the spiritual barriers that bind the soul in order stop us to transcending into a higher state of being. A state that Mary Magdalene wrote about but her gospel never made it into the Biblical canon.
Matthew 13:10-11 from the King James Version (KJV):
And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
In my opinion, individuals are still undergoing initiation into the cult of Mithras, albeit under the guise of worshipping Christ. However, they are actually venerating deities such as Baal, Bel, Marduk, Mithras, and Jupiter—regarded as adversaries to God. In Hebrew, the term for adversary is Satan.
Why?
Bel, Baal, Marduk, Mithras, and Jupiter are associated with aspects of sun worship in various ancient religious traditions, but their specific attributes and roles vary depending on the cultural context.
Bel: Bel is a deity worshipped in ancient Mesopotamian religion, particularly in Babylonian and Assyrian cultures. While he is not primarily considered a sun god, he is associated with various aspects of nature and fertility, as well as kingship and the cosmic order.
Baal: Baal is a prominent deity in Canaanite and Phoenician religions, often depicted as a storm and fertility god. He is closely associated with the cycle of the seasons, agricultural fertility, and the revitalisation of the earth.
Marduk: Marduk is the chief god of the Babylonian pantheon, revered as a divine warrior and ruler. Although not explicitly a sun god, Marduk's role in Babylonian mythology encompasses aspects of cosmic order, kingship, and divine authority.
Mithras: Mithras was worshipped in the Roman Empire as part of the mystery religion known as Mithraism. He is often depicted as a solar deity associated with light, truth, and cosmic harmony. Mithraic iconography frequently includes imagery related to the sun, symbolizing his role as a bringer of enlightenment and spiritual salvation.
Jupiter: In Roman mythology, Jupiter is the king of the gods and the god of the sky and thunder. While not explicitly a sun god, Jupiter's association with the sky and celestial phenomena places him in a cosmic and celestial context.
While these deities share some commonalities in their associations with aspects of nature, fertility, and celestial phenomena, it's important to recognise the distinct cultural and religious contexts in which they were worshipped and the nuances of their respective mythologies.
None of these deities—Bel, Baal, Marduk, Mithras, or Jupiter—are considered the creator of the universe in the monotheistic sense. These deities belong to various polytheistic religious traditions and were worshipped as part of pantheons alongside other gods and goddesses. But infact they are all one and the same through assimilation.
The worship of nature gods or deities associated with natural phenomena is a characteristic found in many pagan religions. Paganism often involves reverence for the natural world and the recognition of divine or spiritual forces manifested in nature. Deities in pagan traditions may embody aspects of the natural world, such as the sun, moon, earth, sky, rivers, forests, and animals.
However, it's important to distinguish between the diverse beliefs and practices within paganism and not to generalise all pagan religions as solely focused on nature worship. While nature veneration is a common theme in many pagan traditions, paganism encompasses a wide array of religious and spiritual beliefs, including ancestor veneration, animism, polytheism, and various forms of ritual and magic.
Furthermore, while pagan religions often emphasise the interconnectedness of humans and the natural world, they may differ significantly in their cosmology, theology, rituals, and cultural expressions, reflecting the diversity of human religious experience throughout history and across different cultures.
1 Corinthians 2:10-15 from the King James Version (KJV):
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
How?
Satan's belief in his superiority over our true divine creator led to his downfall, along with his followers, the fallen angels, who were cast down to earth due to their arrogance. This world is regarded as Satan's domain, and unless we repent and follow Christ we remain spiritually dead pleasing only our most basic animal desires.
The 25th of December has been historically celebrated as the birth of the sun in various cultures and religious traditions, particularly in the context of winter solstice celebrations. The winter solstice marks the shortest day and longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, usually occurring around December 21st or 22nd. After this date, the days gradually begin to lengthen as the sun's apparent position in the sky moves northward.
Ancient civilizations observed the winter solstice as a significant celestial event, symbolising the rebirth of the sun and the promise of the return of warmth, light, and life to the earth. Many cultures conducted rituals, ceremonies, and festivals to commemorate this celestial event and to encourage the sun's return.
In some traditions, the 25th of December was chosen as the symbolic birthdate of the sun god or solar deity, representing the moment when the sun begins its journey back toward strength and vitality after the darkest days of winter. This symbolism aligns with themes of renewal, hope, and rebirth, which are central to many winter solstice celebrations.
Over time, the celebration of the birth of the sun on December 25th became intertwined with various religious observances, including the Christian celebration of Christmas. While the exact origins of Christmas on December 25th are complex and debated, it is clear that the date was influenced by pre-existing winter solstice traditions and the symbolic significance of the sun's rebirth in ancient cultures.
Christmas and materialism is in celebration of Mithras, NOT our divine creator Christ.
In my opinion of course.
