The Allegory


The story of the Last Supper may not be as simple as it might seem.
Actually, it’s an Astronomical allegory foretelling the sun’s pending death at the winter solstice. 
The Last Supper story found in the Bible comes from an ancient Pagan ritual celebrating the harvest, illustrated in an astrological allegory. 

Christianity is based on the (son) sun worshiping of the Hebrews and the Bible stories are simply a collection of Astrological allegory. 
Jesus became the sun God that was personified.
The birth of Jesus and his death marked the end of the age of Aries, the ram (2160 BCE-1BCE), and the beginning of the age of Pisces the fish (1 BCE-2160CE, that occurred around 2000 years ago. 

In the last supper astronomical allegory, Jesus (the sun) gathered his 12 disciples (the 12 signs of the Zodiac) to prepare for the Saviors (Sun) pending death (the winter solstice) AND Jesus's (sun's) rebirth 3 day’s later on December 25th (the time when the sun appears to start it's northerly track). 

In most sun worshiping beliefs, common at the time, the sun (God) was believed to have died on or about the 22nd of December, at the winter solstice, and was reborn 3 day’s later on December 25th, when the sun began it’s northern movement on the horizon and the day’s began to get longer and longer. 
In the last supper story, Jesus, the sun personified, told of pending betrayal by one of his disciples (one of the 12 signs of the zodiac). 

The betrayer was Judas who was personified by Scorpio (the Scorpion). When the sun (Jesus) was in the house of Scorpio (Judas), the scorpion betrayed Jesus (the sun) with a kiss (a sting). 
The sun (Jesus) died an agonizing death, was stabbed by the Sagittarius spear on the cross, was placed into a cave tomb, and was raised from the dead 3 day’s later. 

The last supper was the astronomical allegory foretelling astronomical events. In the Leonard Davinci painting "the last supper", you can see that the apostles are gathered in 4 sets of 3 figures each, with Jesus at the center. 
The 12 figures represent the 12 signs of the zodiac and them being gathered in 4 sets represent the 4 seasons, winter, spring, summer and fall. 

Jesus is the sun at the center. 
Davinci’s painting is an astrological allegory as well.

Of course, there are those who believe this allegory connection to Jesus is false. You can decide for yourself.

Christian Pastor Calls Orlando Massacre ‘Good News’


UPDATE: just to drive home our point, another one, Pastor Roger Jimenez from Verity Baptist Church said, ‘Are you sad that 50 pedophiles were killed today?



‘Um no. I think that’s great. I think that helps society. I think Orlando, Florida, is a little safer tonight. The tragedy is that more of them didn’t die. The tragedy is I’m kind of upset he didn’t finish the job – because these people are predators. They are abusers.’



It seems we visit stories about the Bible and Christianity frequently, we would rather not.
But we want to illustrate why people are embracing Paganism and waking up to the possibility that everything they've been lead to believe during their life time may need closer scrutiny.

Arizona Pastor Steven Anderson who has called for the mass execution of gay people to create an AIDS-free world has posted his reaction to the mass shooting that took place at Pulse nightclub in Orlando.

He calls those who were gunned down  "disgusting perverts and pedophiles’ and says ‘The good news is that there’s 50 less pedophiles in this world."

"I'm sure it’s also gonna be used to push an agenda against so-called “hate speech. So Bible-believing Christian preachers who preach what the Bible actually says about homosexuality — that it’s vile, that it’s disgusting, that they’re reprobates — you know, we’re gonna be blamed."

"Obviously, it’s not right for somebody to just, you know, shoot up the place, because that’s not going through the proper channels. But these people all should have been killed, anyway, but they should have been killed through the proper channels, as in they should have been executed by a righteous government that would have tried them, convicted them, and saw them executed."

So, a man who preaches the "good News" calls “homosexuals a bunch of disgusting perverts,” and celebrates the Orlando nightclub shooting.


"Now let me just be real clear: I’ve never advocated for violence. I don’t believe in, you know, taking the law into our own hands. 
I would never go in and shoot up a gay bar — so-called. 
I don’t believe it’s right for us to just be a vigilante… But I will say this: 
The Bible says that homosexuals should be put to death, in Leviticus 20:13. 
Obviously, it’s not right for somebody to just, you know, shoot up the place, because that’s not going through the proper channels. 
But these people all should have been killed, anyway, but they should have been killed through the proper channels, as in they should have been executed by a righteous government that would have tried them, convicted them, and saw them executed. 
Because, in Leviticus 20:13, God’s perfect law, he put the death penalty on murder, and he also put the death penalty on homosexuality. 
That’s what the Bible says, plain and simple.
So, you know, the good news is that at least 50 of these pedophiles are not gonna be harming children anymore. 
The bad news is that a lot of the homos in the bar are still alive, so they’re gonna continue to molest children and recruit people into their filthy homosexual lifestyle…"

"I’m not sad about it, I’m not gonna cry about it. Because these… 50 people in a gay bar that got shot up, they were gonna die of AIDS, and syphilis, and whatever else. 
They were all gonna die early, anyway, because homosexuals have a 20-year shorter life-span than normal people, anyway…"

We bring this up on the heels of comments tweeted by public officials and because of the hypocrisy that permeates the pulpits each Sunday.




When people are taught that they are helpless, that they are nothing without some unseen higher power, they remain prisoners in their own doubts.

We will keep reminding people that you have the power within you.
As you reconnect with nature you reconnect with yourself, because we are one with nature.
It is only then you can grow in self worth and lose the chains of guilt, hate, anger and uncertainty.

It's okay to give yourself permission to be yourself and to believe natures truths.

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick deletes "reap what you sow" tweet aftershooting at LGBT club

A tweet by Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick reading from the words from Galatians 6:7. The verse reads, "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows."that went out hours after approximately 50 people were killed at a Florida LGBT nightclub has been deleted.

Trying to explain himself he says, 

"Our scripture was not posted in reaction to the shooting."

"I’m actually on an island. The Internet is slow. I first heard of the news late this morning from a reporter. However, the time lag has given me an opportunity to reflect on this tragedy, your comments, our war on terrorism, our divided nation and God’s word for all of us."

"The verse has nothing to do with God’s judgement on any one person or a specific group of people. If some chose to read into it what they wanted they either have never read Galatians Chapter 6 or have misread it."

"Some wanted the post pulled down and others did not. Let me be clear, I didn’t pull down the FB post & tweet because God’s word is wrong. His word is never wrong. Taking down his word would be like tearing a page from the Bible because we didn’t like what God was telling us. I took it down to stop the hateful comments and the misinformation being spread of God’s message to all of us- straight or gay."

"God’s message to all of us in the world is that of love and forgiveness – not hate. Jesus was clear that the only way to the Father was through him."

"We are all sinners, straight or gay, and we all fall short of heaven and eternal life unless we accept Christ as our Savior. He died on the cross for all of us. Let me repeat that. He loves us all and died for all of our sins."

"The hateful comments today following my post of a simple scripture verse, totally unrelated to the terrible killings last night, that were directed at me and God’s word, is another example of that hate. I pray these divisions will end."

"For those who have never read Galatians 6, here are the first ten verses. Only those who choose hate speech can suggest God’s word was directed at them. It was directed to the church of Galatia as Paul was talking to early Christians about moving from the law of Moses to the new Christian church."

"Today God’s message is directed to ALL of us."

Anyway, it went on and on, we had to cut some of it out it was so long.

As we were reading this, all we could think of was William Shakespeare.

BELIEF



We won't mention his name, he's a religious man, yet he reads this blog, go figure.
He'll know we are writing about him and a conversation we had about dying spiritually.
We don't want to target him personally, so we'll keep his identity out of this.

This man said he was troubled about our spiritual welfare because we are straying from God with all this Pagan stuff.

He actually brought out his pocket Bible and quoted Jeremiah 7:28.
“But thou shalt say unto them, this is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.”

He warned that a person never suddenly dies spiritually, it's a slow death, by allowing truth to perish. 

He had notes, his Bible and he was ready to baptize us as told us the 5 things that cause spiritual destruction. Apparently our destruction.

Number 1. Having no conscience leads to spiritual decay, suggesting we don't have a conscience.

The next sin we are apparently committing is not having real conviction, and not having a conscience always leads to not having conviction. He actually said that he's tried to share scripture with us and we are never receptive to the scriptures and this will lead to spiritual death.

And then there was the third problem, not responding, also leads to spiritual decay. It is sad that God sent the words of truth,  “But they (we) hearkened not…” In other words we weren't harkening enough while reading the scriptures to us.

Next, we don't have rules and boundaries, Pagans just do what they want.
Pagans can use excuses to justify worldly ways, but that doesn't change the truth of Scripture. It's  time to start repenting. Without these boundaries we will walk down the road to spiritual decay.

Fifth, no direction leads to spiritual destruction.
When our direction is worldly instead of Godly, looking to the world for your direction, we will wither away. 

We are paraphrasing here, but he finished up his sermon with:

"I'm afraid the truth is perishing in your lives my friends."
"Don't let truth perish, keep God as your focus, and repent."
"He reveals your sin through the Scriptures or preaching"

We thanked him for sharing his view on us, but we've heard all this before and frankly it's not convincing or spiritually moving.
No hard feelings, but he folded his tent and left.

After a few days of thinking this over, there's a little more we would like to say.

We don't care what people believe, we have no desire to attack his religion or his God, but since he took target practice at Pagans, we wanted to respond, the nicest way we know how.

Firstly, people are leaving religion in big numbers because they feel their God has failed them.

Nearly a quarter of Americans say they no longer affiliate with a faith tradition. It's the highest share ever recorded in surveys, indicating the stigma for not being religious has eased - even in heavily evangelical areas. Americans who say they have no ties to organized religion, dubbed "nones," now make up about 23 percent of the population, just behind evangelicals, who comprise about 25 percent, according to the Pew Research Center.
Christians who have been only nominally tied to a conservative church are steadily dropping out altogether. 
People are looking for truth and this explains why religion is failing and Paganism is growing.


All those assurances and yet churches are still losing believers because this God lacks clarity, a lot of smoke and mirrors with no real answers.

At least Pagans believe in something that we can see, touch and gives us our very substance. 
It has been said that there are those who are skeptical, who have not yet learned to open their awareness to all that is possible.
The skeptics of Paganism have their own myths and beliefs to help them in their lives and while it is not our place to mock their faith, we will respond if they scoff disrespectfully at ours.
Hence, one must first believe, before one will really believe. Some are born believing or raised to believe. For others, belief must be learned or developed, as preconceptions and close-minded thoughts are left behind one-by-one.
The truth is there, it's all around us. All one has to do, is pay attention.
