There was a lot of information on that link when I posted it. Names, dates, times and places sort of stuff. Old families that go waaaay back. Obviously, someone is watching and deleting as people find this information. Hopefully someone else saw the info.

I'm still trying to figure out if Judaism and Catholics are together or not. IMO I think not, but I guess i'll just believe in both sides until more info is out
ARTICLE 3. Convinced that the principles of religion contribute most powerfully to keep nations in the state of passive obedience which they owe to their princes, the high contracting parties declare it to be their intention to sustain in their respective States those measures which clergy may adopt, with the aim of ameliorating their own interests, intimately connected with the preservation of the authority of the princes and the contracting powers join in offering their thanks to the Pope for what he has already done for them, and solicit his constant cooperation in their views of submitting the nations.

Catholics recognize the Pope as a successor to Saint Peter, whom, according to Roman Catholic teaching, Jesus named as the "shepherd" and "rock" of the Church.[15][16] Peter never bore the title of "Pope", which came into use three centuries later, but Catholics traditionally recognize him as the first Pope,[17]
The study of the New Testament offers no proof that Jesus established the papacy nor even that he established Peter as the first bishop of Rome.[21]
Some historians have argued that the notion that Peter was the first bishop of Rome and founded the Christian church there can be traced back no earlier than the 3rd century.[23] The writings of the Church Father Irenaeus who wrote around 180 AD reflect a belief that Peter "founded and organised" the Church at Rome.[24]

So why did the Roman’s need the Judean God?
To make monotheism work they needed a foreign God not indigenous to Rome to craft the elements of the story that would make the God and the story of the God seem plausible, without the God itself having to prove it’s existence through acts and displays the Romans themselves could witness.
The story starts out with this God being so all powerful, that he is the one and only true God.

This is easy enough because none of the Roman Gods had ever stopped by the Forums or Amphitheatres or Coliseums to display themselves real through any act or display, and their continued failure to do so, once the Judean God was introduced to the people to supplant them, indeed substantiated that they weren’t real.
Jupiter and Apollo did not show up or strike down the people for abandoning and tearing down their temples or curse the people with any disaster or plague or pestilence. There for by displaying their traditional Gods weren’t real it established the first element of the story that the Judean God was possibly not only more powerful but the one true God.
When several kings came to Rome to pay their respects to him and argued about their nobility of descent, he cried out "Let there be one Lord, one King".[70] In AD 40, Caligula began implementing very controversial policies that introduced religion into his political role. Caligula began appearing in public dressed as various gods and demigods such as Hercules, Mercury, Venus and Apollo.[71] Reportedly, he began referring to himself as a god when meeting with politicians and he was referred to as Jupiter on occasion in public documents.[72][73] A sacred precinct was set apart for his worship at Miletus in the province of Asia and two temples were erected for worship of him in Rome.[73]

Now if this makes sense to you, you now know why this thread is so NOT about discussing scripture and theology as it just reinforces the lack of evidence for this insane system for people, who have been inflicted with this peculiar brand of uniform insanity, created and instilled in you from the moment of your birth on forward by Rome!
If the best explanation you have is to compare the deity of Jesus or the lack of proof of YHWH with an Arnold Swartzneggar movie, I think you are grasping at straws. With all due respect, Proto, you are capable of better than this.
I believe you are incorrect. In order to make monotheism work, there must be a common denominator between all of the religions so that eventually they can all tie in and become full circle. As I stated above, the trinity of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all have their roots at Abraham. Eventually, this can be used to harmonize the divisions and bring about a resolution of "peace".
Contrary to what you have said, it appears that it was NOT the Judean god who supplanted the "Roman gods" but it was Caesar himself, according to this:
It is my contention that this "One Lord" is an octopus with many tentacles and has been in place before Rome existed. This "Rome" is not a geographical location. It goes by a variety of names; Cult of the Serpent, Cult of the Comet, the Vermilion Brotherhood, etc.
I believe that you are dictating that you do not want any posts in your thread concerning religion and theology because that is certainly not your area of expertise, as is evident by the Swartzneggar analogy, which in itself is bizarre and very left field.

You seem to have totally neglected or forgotten at the time Rome started tinkering with Christianity that there was Only One Abrahamic Religion, and that while Christianity may have naturally been in it's infancy that Islam was still hundreds of years away from being introduced.

George Washington presided over the ceremony which included burying an inscribed silver plate on top of the cornerstone into the foundation of the US Capitol
No one knows for sure what’s on that plate, just that it was placed there by George Washington himself.
Now come the day that plate is dug out and it clearly says, Property of Rome,
"Here be dragons" is a phrase used to denote dangerous or unexplored territories, in imitation of the medieval practice of putting sea serpents and other mythological creatures in blank areas of maps.
Dragons appear on a few other historical maps.
* The T-O Psalter map (ca. 1250 AD) has dragons, as symbols of sin, in a lower "frame" below the world, balancing Jesus and angels on the top, but the dragons do not appear on the map proper.
* The Borgia map (ca. 1430 AD), in the Vatican Library, states, over a dragon-like figure in Asia
The word sibyl comes (via Latin) from the ancient Greek word sibylla, meaning prophetess. There were eventually many Sibyls in the ancient world,[1] but because of the importance of the Cumaean Sibyl in the legends of early Rome codified in Virgil's Aeneid VI, she became the most famous among Romans, supplanting the Erythraean Sibyl famed among Greeks.
She is one of the four sibyls painted by Raphael at Santa Maria della Pace. She was also painted by Andrea del Castagno (Uffizi Gallery), and in the Sistine Ceiling of Michelangelo her powerful presence overshadows every other Sibyl, even her younger and more beautiful sisters, such as the Delphic Sibyl.

A treaty was made with Philip V of Macedon and he permitted the Romans to bring back to Rome both the statue and a black meteorite that personified the divine Cybele.

In the painting of Lazarus his hands are in the right place you are incorrect. 2nd line.

In the painting below of the Raising of Lazarus by Albert van Ouwater, notice the figure in the right forefront. Look closely at the hand. It is a left hand placed on the right arm. An accomplished artist does not make such a "mistake" as that. It has an intended meaning. Notice also that Lazarus has no left leg! Does this indicate that he is "walking the path of the shadow"? You will notice if you look closely, there is a shadow of shape where his left leg should be. More symbolism, I daresay.
The Bible states that David’s throne shall exist for ever:""…David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel."" (JEREMIAH 33:17). ""…and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever."" (2 SAMUEL 7:13b). David’s throne can be found today in Great Britain (see Figure 1). As surprising as it might seem, Queen Elizabeth is the direct descendant of King David. For further study see “Studies on British Israel” (see also Figure 2).
The Hebrew word translated ?standing stones? is massebah and means ?to set up.? To honor their covenant with God, the Israelites also set up standing stones as a reminder of God?s supernatural acts on their behalf. The Bible records several of these significant events:
- Jacob set up stone pillars at Bethel in order to remember his powerful dream, in which God reaffirmed his covenant with him (Gen. 28:18—21, 35:14—15).
- After receiving the Ten Commandments and other laws, Moses built twelve standing stones at the foot of Mount Sinai (Ex. 24:2—4).
- The Israelites erected standing stones to remember their miraculous crossing of the Jordan River (Josh. 4:2—3, 8—9).
- Joshua built another standing stone when the covenant was renewed at Shechem (Josh. 24:27).
