El Cristo Pagan (ianity)

Se reconoce que el cristianismo de hoy está basado en las doctrinas combinadas de las varias religiones del misterio en el mundo antiguo. Las doctrinas de la “trinidad” y de la “encarnación” fueron pedidas prestadas de los pagans. De hecho, la religión entera fue fabricada después de la salida de Jesús. Las historias legendarias de los salvadores del “hombre-dios” que morían por los pecados de su gente (y que se levantan tres días más adelante) fueron propagadas comúnmente como característica en los cultos romanos que prevalecían del día. Es interesante observar eso en las escrituras apocryphal del Evangelio del Nazorenes, lo que sigue fue atribuido a Jesús (p) que funcionó contrariamente a la creencia de los cristianos del moderno-día.

Jesús enseñaba a sus discípulos en la corte externa de el templo y el que está de ellos dichos a él: Amo, es dicho por los sacerdotes que sin el vertimiento de la sangre allí no es ninguna remisión. ¿Puede entonces el ofrecimiento de la sangre de la ley quitar pecado? Y Jesús contestado: ¿Ninguna sangre que ofrece, de bestia o pájaro, u hombre, puede quitar pecado, porque cómo se puede la conciencia purgar de pecado por el vertimiento de la sangre inocente? Nay, aumentará la condenación. 1

El cristianismo que sabemos hoy plagió simplemente las historias y las vendió con engan#o sobre Jesús (p).

Tom Harper escribe:

El “adversario” llama, es probado, recolecta a discípulos, cura a enfermo, predica las buenas noticias sobre el reino del dios, finalmente funciona el afoul de sus enemigos amargos, sufre, los dados, y se resucita el profesor divino después de tres días. Éste es el patrón total del dios del sol en todos los dramas antiguos.2

Una parte muy importante de las fes pagan era la creencia en un dios que era joven y hermoso y fue supuesto para haber muerto o para haberse mutilado por la humanidad.3 El dogma de la encarnación fue tomado en cristianismo, como muchas otras doctrinas cristianas, del paganism. En mitologías del pre-Cristiano, leemos a menudo del héroe que es mirado como dios. Los Hindus de la India incluso adoran hoy a sus héroes antiguos, Rama y Krishna, como encarnaciones de Vishnu, la segunda persona de la trinidad hindú. Islam has liberated its followers from the bondage of such superstitions by rejecting the dogma of the Incarnation.4

It seems that Jesus was actually the Sun of God, and not the “Son of God”, yet both of these titles are pagan, ascribed to Jesus after his departure. No wonder that the early Christians of Egypt were accused of sun worship. Jesus rejected the title “Son of God”5 and that is why the Qur’an rejects the alleged sonship of Jesus (P), because it is entirely pagan in origin.

The authentic hadith says:

Narrated ‘Umar: “I heard the Prophet saying, “Do not exaggerate in praising me as the Christians praised the son of Mary, for I am only a Slave. So, call me the Slave of Allah and His Apostle.”6

Jesus (P) was sent by God to preach the Gospel and Torah to the Children of Israel. He was a Prophet and Messenger of God who claimed no divinity. He was transformed into God after his departure at the Council of Nicea, the pagan Emperor Constantine made the decree, yet Jesus said “The Father is greater than I”7 and “I can do nothing of my own authority”8

The “Christians” corrupted the teachings of Jesus after his disappearance; they replaced the Gospel of Jesus with the corrupted Gospel of Paul. Christianity today is indeed the Gospel of Paul, the corrupter of the Gospel of Jesus. What is the significance for our faith and for our religious life, the fact that the Gospel of Paul is different from the Gospel of Jesus?

The attitude which Paul himself takes up towards the Gospel of Jesus is that he does not repeat it in the words of Jesus, and does not appeal to its authority….The fateful thing is that the Greek, the Catholic, and the Protestant theologies all contain the Gospel of Paul in a form which does not continue the Gospel of Jesus, but displaces it.9

It is the consensus of the scholars that where the origins of Christianity is concerned, it can be invariably be summed up as follows:

Christianity began as a cult with almost wholly pagan origins and motivations in the first century, “and by the fourth it had utterly turned its back on Paganism and repudiated very hint of…connection with it, loading it with contempt from that day to this.10

Thus it is clear that:

The worship of suffering gods was to be found on all sides, and the belief in the torture of the victims in the rites of human sacrifice for the redemption from sin was very general. The gods Osiris, Attis, Adonis, Dionysos, Herakles, Prometheus, and others, had all suffered for mankind; and thus the Servant of Yahweh was also conceived as having to be wounded for’ men’s transgressions. But as I say, this conception had passed into the background in the days of Jesus”11

A very important part of the pagan faiths was the belief in a god who was young and handsome and was supposed to have died or mutilated himself for the sake of mankind.12 The Christian doctrine of atonement was greatly colored by the influence of the mystery religions, especially Mithraism. 13

From the Islamic perspective, Mawdudi concludes as follows:

The false tendencies, born of centuries of deviations, ignorance and malpractice, now took another form. Though they accepted their Prophets during their lives and practiced their teachings, after their deaths they introduced their own distorted ideas into their religions. They adopted novel methods of worshipping God; some even took to the worship of their Prophets. They made the Prophets the incarnations of God or the sons of God; some associated their Prophets with God in His Divinity.14

And certainly, only God knows best!

    “…pre-Christian mythologies, we often read of the hero being regarded as a God. The Hindus of India even today worship their ancient heroes, Rama and Krishna, as incarnations of Vishnu, the second person of the Hindu Trinity.”

    E doherty:
    On the other hand, they say a picture is worth a thousand words. British traveller Edward Moor around 1800 brought back many sketches of Hindu sculptures and monuments, some which depicted a figure apparently crucified, with nail holes in feet and hands. Moor’s publication of these travels and sketches was edited and censored at the behest of Christian authorities of the time in Britain, while other reports from India suffered a similar fate. Kersey Graves reports:

    (Sir Godfrey Higgins) informs us that a report on the Hindoo religion, made out by a deputation from the British Parliament, sent to India for the purpose of examining their sacred books and monuments, being left in the hands of a Christian bishop at Calcutta, and with instructions to forward it to England, was found, on its arrival in London, to be so horribly mutilated and eviscerated as to be scarcely cognizable. The account of the crucifixion was gone—cancelled out. The inference is patent. [Sixteen Crucified Saviors, p.107]

    Acharya S, in her recent Suns of God, tells a similar story, of “plates and an entire chapter removed [from Moor's publication], which have luckily been restored in a recent edition of the original text” [p.243], although descriptions of this missing material have long been available through Godfrey Higgins who examined Moor’s original work in the British Museum during the 1800s. This is part of a thorough examination in one chapter of Suns of God, of the whole question of whether Krishna was regarded, at least in some circles, as crucified. There are multiple versions of his death (as there are in most ancient mythology attached to savior gods), and it is possible that some form of ‘crucifixion’, probably on a tree, is one of them. Acharya refers to other cases of apparent destruction of records and mutilation of texts in modern times, by ecclesiastical interests seeking to hide the evidence of parallels. To this we must add the destruction caused by conflicts like World War II, a situation which has made it more difficult than ever for modern researchers to track down and verify the existence of such parallels in the primary record. Dismissal by modern apologists of such conditions and practices as some kind of nutty conspiracy theory is unwise, as Christian history almost from its beginnings is full of wanton destruction of anything that could call into question the veracity and originality of the Christian faith.

    MENJ, Tom Harper’s allegiations are completely rejected wholesale by all scholars. He is a conspiracy theorist journalist. Can you provide any reference to any scholar who takes his work or allegations seriously as correct?

    MODERN DAY PAGANS leave christianties pagan krist for the ORIGINAL

    “I feel very emotional,” said Ms Peppa, a writer. “We have been persecuted for 16-and-a-half centuries but now we are here. This is our human right. And we shall carry on worshipping at our temples. They have now been put to proper use.

    “This is as important to us, as prayers are for Muslims, Christians or Hindus,” said Apollonius, a former taverna owner from Melbourne, Australia.

    He abandoned the Church for the 12 Gods, because ‘they make me feel whole, they make me feel part of the universe.”
