Most know of the Babylon Trinity story where Nimrod Married his Mother, Semiramis, and liked to play god over building a tower to get close to heaven in the skies. Nimrod became so corrupt at playing god that he was killed and cut into little pieces and scattered, and was represented as going to the Sun in death. His wife/mother could find all his pieces but not the procreating bit, so she makes up a story that the Sun (Nimrod) fertilized her (Semiramis) to produce the Son (Tammus). This is the strange Pagan Sun worship Trinity theme of Father becomes the Son via the Holy Spirit of the Sun. This is the heart of Sun Worship belief, and a belief for gods that Egypt Cloned. Moses tossed out the Egyptian Concepts of these pagan gods in favor of one based on god being Nature's Ways.
The problems with Christian Double Talk begins as they plug Jesus into much of these old pagan Sun Worship belief stories. Jesus has a story of Virgin Birth, but it was really more one for an immaculate conception that was planned birth to have a savior come address a better way for god and heaven. Mary is cast into a role, like Semiramis, where she is fertilized by god. The real story is that Mary was never taught the Pagan Sun god worship was valid and thus was pure and pious of religious belief and she was chosen for Jesus Mother by the Essene's methods of piety, and in this way translated as Virgin. Mary and Joseph conceived Jesus in the normal fashion, but they had great plans for their son to became a Messiah to change how the issues of god were presented to the world. It was a great plan and one frought with resistance and much ignorance in the world.
Many of the concepts for god existed in the minds of men as thoughts and ideas, or the spiritual world of beliefs. Jesus teaching for "The Way" was about moving the concepts of the Sprit of god in the mind into that of building heaven on Earth by the clear explanations of how the spiritual concepts of the mind came into understanding. This meant that Jesus Way would be to teach the orgins of god from the natural order of the planet and in doing this greater understanding make heaven upon the Earth where god become reality as nature.
Jesus would show god as a father of all humans and one that serves the childrens needs and is loving toward them, if one understands the ways of nature. Nature provided great medicines like Myrrh, provided great nutrition via bread and wine, and they gave thanks to nature, as god, for these things. There was a logical way to transition god of the Spirit world of the mind into god and heaven on Earth, and it was based in explaining the simple truths and moving from heaven in the skies or spirit world into reality and Earth.
The Christian's Double-Talk attempts to tell that Mary was like Semiramis and got pregnant in thin air, when the real story was one of planned pregnancy from two pious parents with designs for the child to become a Messiah. There is a non-pagan version of Trinity for Jesus with the Concepts of Father (god), the Son (Jesus--born of the truth of god), and the Holy Spirit (the goals for taking Spiritual into reality on Earth). The real Jesus associated Trinity explains why the Babylon Trinity is false and pagan, and explains the roots of god lie in the explanations of nature's ways.
The Double-Talk of Christians make Jesus into Satan when they make his story like Babylon's Trinity. Then like Jesus, The Man, as a Messiah to make Heaven on Earth built on pious truth being told of god's origin in the ways of the Natural Order. It is the Christians that paint Jesus in the vogue of Babylon's Trinity that are dead in Christ. The Christians technically worship Jesus as Satan when they do this in their teaching. Only a very few understand that Jesus Trinity isn't that from Babylon. Those few that see the Jesus theme of "The Way" was about showing the world the ways of Nature to provide medicines like Myrrh and nourishments like bread and wine with Boron nutrition. They gave thanks for Nature's ways as god and the Lord's Prayer with the special word for super foods. Even the Lord's Prayer and the Last Supper theme was of this ultimate purpose of thanks to nature for these foods and the ultimate wish for Heaven on Earth via teaching these simple truths.

Easy, remember this is about how necessary our savior's sacrifice was and is.
In light of the verses presented, do you yet find the cross and our saviors sacrifice to still be unnecessary?
edit on 1-6-2012 by HeFrippedMeOff because: (no reason given)
1. Regardless of Jesus telling us to believe in him for everlasting life (John 11:25-26)
2. Regardless of Jesus words proclaiming how necessary it was for him to die (Matthew 16)
Regardless of Jesus proclaiming that dying for us is the very reason he came (John 12:27)
4. Regardless of Jesus profession that the work of God is that we believe on the one whom He sent (John 6:29)
Regardless of the testimony of Jesus and the man crucified beside him (Luke 23: 40-43)
6. Regardless of Jesus saying, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
Regardless of all this, are you telling us that you do in fact yet refuse (a) the cross,

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
2. Regardless of Jesus words proclaiming how necessary it was for him to die (Matthew 16)
Technically he didn't say that in Matthew 16... The Author did.
Regardless of Jesus proclaiming that dying for us is the very reason he came (John 12:27)
Dude!
you accuse me of cherry picking for pages then you feed me this?
4. Regardless of Jesus profession that the work of God is that we believe on the one whom He sent (John 6:29)
Belief has requirements... no?
Regardless of the testimony of Jesus and the man crucified beside him (Luke 23: 40-43)
Proof that All will be Saved?
6. Regardless of Jesus saying, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
This is Truth... but what does that mean to you?
Regardless of all this, are you telling us that you do in fact yet refuse (a) the cross,
The symbol... ya i refuse it... T

Gods "grace" is wasted on those that show no example of that "grace"
The Lord knows wherein are my works and for whom I do them. He also knows my heart. I am not he standing praying in the synagogues that I might be seen of men but am that sinner beating his chest not able to lift my eyes. I do not always let my right hand know what my left is doing but sometimes I will let my light so shine before men that they may see my good works, and glorify our Father which is in heaven.
But you, you say our Father's "grace" is wasted on those that show no example of that "grace," and you say all this even after refusing the cross and grace.
How can the spirit of a man be true in saying that Christ is his Lord when he refuses the grace of our Father, rejects the sacrifice of His son, and denies the very Spirit of God for the spirit of self-salvation?
Simply put... I am not Christian... And christ is not my lord... No man rules over me... Living or dead.
I AM the lord over my own temple...
Jesus is my example... one which i live by...
Only God rules me... and apparently we do not have the same God.

The Bible's Ungodly Origins
The Bible was not handed to mankind by God, nor was it dictated to human stenographers by God. It has nothing to do with God. In actuality, the Bible was VOTED to be the word of God by a group of men during the 4th century.
------------
But when, according to the Christian Trinitarian scheme, one part of God is represented by a dying man, and another part, called the Holy Ghost, by a flying pigeon, it is impossible that belief can attach itself to such wild conceits. . . .
"The study of theology, as it stands in the Christian churches, is the study of nothing; it is founded on nothing; it rests on no principles; it proceeds by no authorities; it has no data; it can demonstrate nothing; and it admits of no conclusion. Not anything can be studied as a science, without our being in possession of the principles upon which it is founded; and as this is not the case with Christian theology, it is therefore the study of nothing.
---------
"But by what authority do you call the Bible the Word of God? for this is the first point to be settled. It is not your calling it so that makes it so, any more than the Mahometans calling the Koran the Word of God makes the Koran to be so. The Popish Councils of Nice and Laodicea, about 350 years after the time the person called Jesus Christ is said to have lived, voted the books that now compose what is called the New Testament to be the Word of God. This was done by yeas and nays, as we now vote a law.
"The Pharisees of the second temple, after the Jews returned from captivity in Babylon, did the same by the books that now compose the Old Testament, and this is all the authority there is, which to me is no authority at all. I am as capable of judging for myself as they were, and I think more so, because, as they made a living by their religion, they had a self-interest in the vote they gave.
-----------
"When you have examined the Bible with the attention that I have done (for I do not think you know much about it), and permit yourself to have just ideas of God, you will most probably believe as I do. But I wish you to know that this answer to your letter is not written for the purpose of changing your opinion. It is written to satisfy you, and some other friends whom I esteem, that my disbelief of the Bible is founded on a pure and religious belief in God; for in my opinion the Bible is a gross libel against the justice and goodness of God, in almost every part of it."
