Documenting from a Historical and
Biblical standpoint the influence of pagan sun worship upon modern day Christianity
- Learn Not the Way of the Heathen - |
 |
Sun worship has always been the apostate form of
worship
chosen by our adversary to oppose the true worship of the Creator.
The book Too Long in the Sun traces pagan sun
worship from the time
of the Chaldeans, through the civilizations of the Babylonians, the
Medo-Persians, the Grecians, the Romans and right on through
present
day, documenting its influence upon modern day
"Christianity."

DECEMBER 25th.
A Happy Birthday?
|
December 25th is well known as the birthday of various pagan gods.
A Roman calendar drawn up by a "Christian" in 354 A.D.
(The Codex Calendar of 354) shows December 25 to be the birthday
of Sol Invictus. Not only is it listed as a pagan birthday;
but, it is listed as the most important pagan birthday of the
whole year. It was celebrated in the Roman Circus with extra
chariot races. This is the sun god that Constantine the
Great worshipped while claiming to be a "Christian."
His coins state that he was "committed to Sol Invictus."
Constantines’ form of "Christianity" continues to
influence Christianity today. December 25th is just one
example. Satan wants to be "God." The first four
commandments tell us who "God" really is. Satan
hates that and has done everything possible to abrogate those
commandments. Calling December 25th the birthday of Jesus is
nothing less than sticking a pagan god in the face of the
"God" of the Bible - a direct violation of the first
commandment.
There was no consensus among third and fourth scholars as to the
birthday of Jesus. Different scholars gave many different dates.
It seems that January 6th was one of the more popular
choices during that time period.
Before the fourth century, the only possible reference to December
25 as the birthday of Jesus is assumed from the writings of
Hippolytus. In his writings he indicates that Jesus was born
on Passover, which would be either March 25th or April 2nd.
Those who desire a December 25th birthday have theorized that
Hippolytus really meant "conception" instead of
"birth," therefore nine months after
"conception" the baby would be born on December 25th. A
study of his other writings however, indicates that the Greek word
he chose does indeed mean "birth." An ancient
monument of Hippolytus, now in the Lateran Museum in Rome,
shows April 2nd as the birthday of Christ.
There is no record of a December 25th celebration of the birth of
Christ in Rome
earlier than 336. In Constantinople, no record of a
celebration before 378. In Alexandria,
not before 400; and in Jerusalem,
not before 425.
The bottom line is that there are no reliable historical documents
that would place the birth of Jesus on December 25th. On the
other hand, there is overwhelming documentation that the birthday
of many of the sun gods of antiquity was recognized as December
25th.
In 273 A.D. Aurelian brought the worship of Baal, from Syria,
back to Rome, and instituted the cult of Sol Invictus, which
combined the worship of all the pagan sun gods into one -
"Sol Invictus." A few years earlier, the Roman
emperor Elogabalus had unsuccessfully attempted to make the
worship of the sun god Baal the predominant religion in Rome.
The way Aurelian was able to get everyone, with their own specific
sun gods, to be happy, was by proclaiming December 25th to be the
birthday of Sol Invictus. They recognized December 25th as
the birthday of their own god, therefore they were happy with the
new name "Sol Invictus" - The Invincible Sun. Because
of the association with December 25th. they recoginzed Sol
Invictus as their own God.
The abominable worship of Tammuz, as spoken of in the book of
Ezekiel, is related to December 25th. Today visitors to Bethlehem
are taken to a subterranean cave, under the "Church
of the Nativity" and are told that Jesus was born
there on December 25th. It was Helena, the mother of
Constantine, who declared that site to be the birth place of
Christ. Jesus was not born there. It is a pagan sun worship
cave in honor of Tammuz. The "church" historian
Jerome, who wrote the Latin "Vulgate" tells us that
Tammuz was worshipped there. He ought to know. His school
was right next door. In fact, the back door of his school
leads into the temple of Tammuz. In spite of all these
facts, thousands of unknowing Christians bow down and kiss the
spot in the niche where the idol of Tammuz was placed.
Although theologians know, they will not tell people the truth.
They will be held accountable.
Our Christian ancestors knew better. The celebration of
December 25th was illegal in England. It was outlawed in New
England from 1649 to 1658. The December 25th
celebration was condemned for its pagan roots by the Puritans, the
Methodists, the Quakers, the Amish, the Presbyterians, and the
Baptists. Why would they do that if there was not a
legitimate problem? Christmas
was made a legal holiday in Massachusetts
in 1856.
Considering these facts, it is not unreasonable for a person to
want to disassociate himself from a pagan birthday that never had
anything to do with Christ Jesus. The
Bible says that "to him that knoweth to do good,
and doeth it not, to him it is sin." We are only
responsible for what we know. Even so, we must not be "willingly
ignorant." Once this information is made known,
everyone will have to make their own decision.
In closing, let us not forget that at Mt. Sinai the people
declared the celebrations associated with the "golden
calf" to be "a feast to the LORD." He wanted to
kill them all, and would have, except for the intervention of
Moses. We cannot decide for ourselves what is right and
wrong. That is what Satan wants us to do. We cannot
proclaim a known pagan birthday to be in honor of Jesus, just
because we think it is a good thing to do.

A complete Hebrew Text of
Matthew appeared in the body of a fourteenth century Jewish
polemical treatise entitled Even Bohan, "The Touchstone" ...Most
manuscripts contain either fifteen or sixteen chapters, not always
arranged in the same order. Of the original books, usually the
first deals with the principles of the Jewish faith, the next nine
deal with passages in the Bible that were disputed by Jews and
Christians, the eleventh discusses haggadic sections in the Talmud
used by Christians or Jewish proselytes to Christianity, and the
twelfth (sometimes thirteenth), contains the entire Gospel of
Matthew in Hebrew, with polemical comments by Shem-Tob interdsperced
throughout the text. ....George Howard, Professor of Religion,

WHO IS A LIAR
BUT HE THAT DENIETH THAT
JESUS IS THE CHRIST?
He is antichrist, that
denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the
same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath
the Father also.
...1 John 2:22-23
Historical references do speak of a Hebrew gospel of Matthew.
Today there are those who present the Shem Tob version of Matthew as
an accurate representation of that manuscript. Unsuspecting
believers are being led by unbelievers to accept an anti-Christian
version of Matthew, which was found as a part of a polemic (anti-Christian)
document entitled Eban Bohan. This document
was authored by Shem Tob, an unbelieving anti-Christian Jewish
theologian, who lived in Spain during the 14th century..
Quoting Professor George Howard, translator
of Shem Tob:
"In regard to theology, Shem-tob’s Hebrew
Matthew is heretical according to the standard of traditional
Christianity. It never identifies Jesus with the Messiah. John the
Baptist is given an exalted role (even takes on messianic traits),
--- Shem-Tob’s text envisions the salvation of the Gentiles only
in the Messianic era.
Shem-Tob's Matthew... does not preserve the
original in a
pure form. It reflects contamination by Jewish scribes during
the Middle Ages.

Martin Luther
SOLA
SCRIPTURA

Tale

Reformation

_______________________
|
In the year 1517, the Protestant Reformation is known to have been
initiated, when
the German monk Martin Luther nailed his ninety five theses to the
door of Wittenberg Church. It is commonly thought that the basis of
the reformation was Sola Scriptura, or Scripture Only;
the authority of scripture over that of church councils and the
concept of Papal infallibility.
Today, while calling themselves
Protestants, mainstream Christianity continues to adhere to
pre-reformation church tradition that is in direct opposition to
scripture. While reformation did occur in the 16th century; the
proclamation of it, as being
Sola Scriptura in nature, is misleading.
Very few Protestants have not heard
of Luther, nailing his ninety five theses to the door of the church.
Most have no idea what those theses addressed. They have
been led to believe that the goal of Martin Luther’s reform was to
separate from the Catholic Church; and to replace it with what is
now recognized as Protestantism.
That is a Tall Tale of theology.
The rejection of Old
Testament scripture by Martin Luther, the only scripture
available to believers that walked and talked with Messiah,
proves that
the reformation of his day was not based on the Bible.
A
direct quote from Luther makes that plain:
"We don’t want to see or
hear Moses. How do you like that, my
dear rebels? We say further, that all such
Mosaic teachers deny the gospel, banish Christ, and annul the whole
New Testament. I now speak as a Christian for Christians. For Moses
is given to the Jewish people alone, and does not concern us
Gentiles and Christians. We have our gospel and New Testament.
If they can prove from them that images must be put away, we will
gladly follow them. If they, however, through Moses would make us
Jews, we will not endure it.."
"...Therefore Moses?
legislation about images and the Sabbath, and what
else goes beyond the natural law, since it is not supported by the
natural
law, is free, null and void, and is specifically given
to the Jewish people alone."
Near the end of his life, Martin
Luther warned that those studying his work
should: "read my earliest books very
circumspectly" He goes on to explain:
"I too was a monk, and one of
the right frantic and raving papists. When I
took up this matter against Indulgences, I was so full and
drunken, yea,
so besotted in papal doctrine that, out of my great zeal, I would
have been
ready to do murder — at least, I would have been glad to see and
help that
murder should be done — on all who would not be obedient and
subject
to the pope, even to his smallest word."
While Luther and others did achieve
a certain degree of reformation, no
reformation was necessary
for the faithful remnant of his day: those who kept:
"the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus."
Even though their names may not be
recorded in history books, they are
written in the "Lambs Book of Life."
