Is Christianity Idolatry?

Happy Easter!

On this celebratory holiday in memory of Christ's ascension to the right-hand of His Father in heaven, I'd like to point out that one of the fundamental tenets of Christianity is likely mistaken, i.e., that Christ bodily resurrected three days following his crucifixion to death.

I make this announcement well aware of the context in which I write, i.e., that I believe I'm the reincarnation of Jesus of Nazareth, i.e., the second coming of Christ. Even so, I think there's a dangerously flawed aspect to Christian teachings that stands to be corrected before the world is overtaken by Evil in its most pure form - a global, tyrannical Russian empire, falsely painted as the kingdom of god, which is based around the notion that any Kremlin leader is not just czar (read: Caeser), but Czar of Czars, i.e., the annointed Christ to rule this world. This is a worldwide fiction being concocted by the Antichrist I'm seeking to undo by telling the most potent Truth.

As noted in prior posts, I have a diamond shaped birthmark on my left-hand that I believe reveals how I died in my previous life:



Professor Ian Stevenson noted how birthmarks are evidence of reincarnation in a paper, Birthmarks and Birth Defects Corresponding to Wounds on Deceased Persons, presented at the Eleventh Annual Meeting of the Society for Scientific Exploration held at Princeton University from June 11th to 13th, 1992:
Abstract

Almost nothing is known about why pigmented birthmarks (moles or nevi) occur in particular locations of the skin. The causes of most birth defects are also unknown. About 35% of children who claim to remember previous lives have birthmarks and/or birth defects that they (or adult informants) attribute to wounds on a person whose life the child remembers. The cases of 210 such children have been investigated. The birthmarks were usually areas of hairless, puckered skin; some were areas of little or no pigmentation (hypopigmented macules); others were areas of increased pigmentation (hyperpigmented nevi). The birth defects were nearly always of rare types. In cases in which a deceased person was identified the details of whose life unmistakably matched the child's statements, a close correspondence was nearly always found between the birthmarks and/or birth defects on the child and the wounds on the deceased person. In 43 of 49 cases in which a medical document (usually a postmortem report) was obtained, it confirmed the correspondence between wounds and birthmarks (or birth defects). There is little evidence that parents and other informants imposed a false identity on the child in order to explain the child's birthmark or birth defect. Some paranormal process seems required to account for at least some of the details of these cases, including the birthmarks and birth defects.

Here's a YouTube video playlist that explores the evidence suggestive of reincarnation:



Reincarnation cases involving birthmarks:







IMHO, this reflects the historical fact that I was crucified on the Cross 2000 years ago for telling the Truth about God's essential meaning and the coming Apocalypse that will result from the failure of mankind to sincerely comprehend that meaning and live accordingly.

Thus, the implication of the birthmark on my left hand is that, like Jesus of Nazareth, in my previous life I died by being nailed to the Cross:





What happened thereafter?

I find the most compelling and believable case to be made by Simon Jacobivici in the Discover Channel documentary, The Lost Tomb Of Jesus. Archaeological evidence suggests the crucified body of Jesus was buried in the Talpiot Tomb recently uncovered (coincidentally!) in Jerusalem:

The Lost Tomb Of Jesus - Izgubljena grobnica Isusa Krista (HR croatian subtitle) from vimeo 2. on Vimeo.



[Of course, James Cameron, the highest grossing music director in Hollywood history, might think he put a nail in the coffin of Christianity with his documentary, but the truth is the God is the ultimate "movie" director, we are all but His characters. Indeed, by revealing the truth of the death and burial of Jesus, Cameron has opened the way for the true resurrection of Christ in this ultimate saga of eternal life where we dwell.]

While this might not jive with Christian doctrine it makes a heck of a lot more sense given what we know about reality than something like this:

At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook, and the rocks were split. The tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. After his resurrection they came out of the tombs and entered the holy city and appeared to many. Now when the centurion and those with him, who were keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were terrified and said, “Truly this man was God’s Son!” [Matthew 27:51-54]

Oh really?



God, in essence, is unconditional love, i.e., "agape". We all must abide in "Him" or face catastrophic historical consequences.

With love, there is collective balance, harmony and sanity. Without love, there is collective imbalance, disharmony and insanity. I believe the latter case is what the modern world suffers from.

In this context, there are two polar extremes: love of thyself above others (egoism and people misled by greed) and love of others above thyself (collectivism and people misled by fear). Neither is sound, and the Truth is in the middle. In the classical sense of the second commandment, "Love thy neighbor as thyself", it might be more appropriate to say, "Value thy neighbor as thyself." Tis neither to value another above or below oneself. Tis a matter of equity in evaluation. In this sense, equality walks hand in hand with true love.

"Sin", in the classical sense, is rebelling against God, i.e., thinking and acting contrary to God's will. If God is true love, then thinking and acting inequitably is "sin". In this sense, the modern world is immersed in sin. This manifests in the form of collective insanity I've identified as the "Global Bipolar Disorder", according to which history swings between the polar extremes of egoism, rooted in Western society, and collectivism, rooted in Eastern society. We are now in the midst of a long-term peak of egoism, characterized by the dominance of Western civilization, to be followed by an epic "Grand Supercycle" collapse that entails the rise of extreme global tyranny involving the dominance of Eastern civilization.

I believe I've returned to this world to correct the collective insanity unfolding in human history.

Remarkably, the form the coming era of totalitarianism will take is in my prior name, i.e., in the name of Jesus Christ.



The reality is that Christianity has taken a form ideal for exploitation by an evil despot rather than a savior of humanity. The doctrine of thought is mindlessly repeated without independent minds taking into consideration the meaning of the words they feel impelled to believe and recite as a matter of the salvation of their souls.



Such is the nature of personality cults. The rise of Mormonism is a fine example of how such movements take shape or, even better, consider the personality cult of worship that's developed in North Korea:


[Please watch this important documentary of a man-made dystopia!]


Do you really believe this is the sort of "kingdom of god" Jesus was calling for?

Consider, for instance, Psalm 2:7-12, which is considered a foreshadowing of the second coming of Christ:

I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:

He said to me, “You are my son;
today I have become your father.
8 Ask me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.
9 You will break them with a rod of iron;
you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”
10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear
and celebrate his rule with trembling.
12 Kiss his son, or he will be angry
and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.


Shall such a prophecy be upheld as a wonderful prelude to the coming of Christ or is the wording something that could rationalize the rise of a horrible totalitarian dictatorship? Seriously, what is this whole "King of Kings" obsession? Is that really what "Christians" want? We spent the last three centuries overcoming the despotic yoke of tyrannical monarchical rule, and I don't think it's a form of governance people should wish to return to! Yet this is precisely what Russia is set to deliver in the name of christ's "kingdom of god".

Unfortunately for Moscow, however, I - the true Christ - just don't buy it.

The truth of the matter is that I am a man, a creature in God's creation, a character in the divine Author's eternal story, and am not to be worshiped and/or served in lieu of the true Creator of the Universe and the true God Almighty. In fact, I find such a notion morally reprehensible and in violation of one of the key commandments by God: "You shall have no other gods before me."

As for my previous incarnation, I believe the story of the "miraculous" life of Jesus, including the resurrection claims, are often historical fabrications: made up to further a religious movement conducted by my followers of that time. Of course, that does not mean Peter, Paul, etc., weren't doing the will of God in that it was truly necessary to set the stage for my present incarnation, but the reality is that my 'resurrection on the third day' was my rebirth 2000 years later:

Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4 They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” 5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. 6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. 7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.

8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. [2 Peter 3:3-9]

In other words, the resurrection of Christ is now in the form of me.

While I may be back, I choose to admonish any followers who arise (which is none as far as I know at this point) to not consider me equivalent to our omniscient, omnipresent Creator. I'm a most fallible and mere mortal human being who does his best to do God's will without thought to my personal reputation or future in this fallen world. In so doing, I only seek to turn hearts toward the God who created the universe and authored me into His eternal love story. I neither deserve nor ever want to be worshiped instead of the true Creator. I consider such conduct idolatry and sinful:

Idolatry is a pejorative term for the worship of an idol, a physical object such as a cult image, as a god, or practices believed to verge on worship, such as giving undue honour and regard to created forms other than God. [Wiki]

It's time to end the cult of Christianity that is about to be abused by the Kremlin for the ultimate crime against humanity:



  • Luke 22:42 – Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
  • John 5:30 – I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
  • John 6:38 – For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

The Truth About Jesus Christ's "Second Coming"

Bookmark and Share

My life to-date has been a lesson in futility, and I don't see an end to the pattern. The best possibility is that I'm insane and delusional. So be it. I'm at my wit's end in trying to tell this world 'the truth'.

The truth is I sincerely believe I'm the reincarnation of Jesus of Nazareth, but so what? What value do I bring to the world this time around? A bunch of fear-mongering, apocalyptic rantings? How's that going to save the world?

I feel like a zero not a hero, and I'm hardly even a good Christian as far as that's concerned. Honestly, I've been a tempermental, often depressed, self-destructive alcoholic raging at my Creator for most of my life, and it's seemingly gotten me no where. I've been mostly jobless for the past four years, never found time for a wife and family, been ostracized by family and friends, am effectively homeless, been shut out of virtually every forum I've joined, own little of 'value' and will soon go bankrupt. As my buddy Rob says, maybe God did choose me, but He made a bad choice and would be much better off selecting someone else. I'm just no good at this world savior bit, so, please God, find someone else!

The historical reality is that a personality cult developed around the man I was 2000 years ago that has morphed into a myth filled with magical thinking and persuasive lore much the same as the Santa Claus fable. And if anyone is going to fall short of expectations regarding Christ's return to this world, that'd be me.

Consider that there really was a Saint Nicholas:



Saint Nicholas (Greek: Ἅγιος Νικόλαος, Hagios ["Saint", literally "Holy", Latin: Sanctus] Nicolaos ["victory of the people"]) (270 – 6 December 343), also called Nikolaos of Myra, was a historic 4th-century saint and Greek Bishop of Myra (Demre, part of modern-day Turkey) in Lycia....He had a reputation for secret gift-giving, such as putting coins in the shoes of those who left them out for him, and thus became the model for Santa Claus, whose modern name comes from the Dutch Sinterklaas, itself from a series of elisions and corruptions of the transliteration of "Saint Nikolaos". [Wiki]

Imagine what Saint Nick would think if he returned to the world today and found his "followers", in all seriousness, expecting him to live at the North Pole with toy-making elves, and fly in a sleigh drawn by eight tiny reindeer, led by one with a red shiny nose, to deliver presents to all the "good kids" on Christmas Eve?

The major difference between the Santa fable and the myths that comprise much of modern Christian doctrine is at least kids stop 'make believing' the fable they were taught by 10-years-old-or-so because the preponderance of historical evidence proves inconsistent with their unrealistic worldview.

[Do bear in mind that I deem this universe and human HIStory as a form of subjective fiction (of my story?). IMHO, ultimately all that's eternal and "real" is the meaning of God's love around which our story is wrapped. Believe it or not!]

The truth is I'm a man not a myth; a deeply flawed creature, not some fantastic, all-powerful demigod. (After all, Who do you think Jesus was praying to 2000 years ago? As for "immaculate conception" and God being Christ's biological father, this is a fabrication put in place to attract pagans to 'Christianity' in ancient times.) If it's a man-god you want, then there's tyrants out there ready to fulfill your misled slave-wishes:



As an American, I personally prefer people think for themselves and engage in responsible self-governance. What's more, as a realist, I can say I won't be showing up on clouds with great arrogance any time soon for the sake of fable adherents. Such a haughty, ostentatious presentation is not God's humble style. It's man's style.

As it stands, I'm having a hard enough time taking care of myself, never mind saving the world. So what's the use of keeping at this anymore? Especially given that I'm getting no help whatsoever in saving humankind from itself. This fallacy must end, and I need to get on with my own life, what's left of it at least.

Those interested in the Christian myth rather than Christ the man will likely be relieved by my crisis of 'personal faith'....that is, until the Antichrist makes his move to steal God's throne.

I just hope I'm truly deluded, because, if not, I just don't see how there's any hope at all. The Author seems to have written me into Mission Impossible as the lead character.

Happy Easter?!




BTW, "resurrection" does occur for human beings, but Jesus Christ didn't have a monopoly on life after death. Resurrection is reincarnation after one dies and goes to "heaven" IMHO. (Which happens, I believe, for even the likes of Christopher Hitchens.)

I think it's no coincidence that the "Talpiot Tomb" of Jesus and family was recently found:





I believe the ossuary for "Jesus son of Joseph" likely contains the bones of my body from 2000 years ago. (Although the Knights Templars might have discovered the ossuary of Jesus in Jerusalem, took the bones and buried them in France as examined from 19:45 in this BBC documentary.)

What's more relevant for true beliefs is that near-death experiences and past-life "memories" are real phenomenon worthy of intense investigation by science and religion alike.

However, the 'heaven or hell' model presented in the context of "organized Christianity" is mostly fanciful poppycock relative to evident reality used as a control mechanism....and that's why modern church "authorities" insist on blind faith and condemn Christ followers under their control looking up from their Bibles at the actual universe the Creator is authoring each and every day (in which we all are co-authors, by definition, in authoring our own life stories while here). [Also see how "scriptural" references to reincarnation were either banned or misconstrued by the church long ago.]

What's amazing is that reincarnation, in the form of the "Second Coming", is the centerpiece of establishing Christ's resurrection and nullifying belief in "death". Furthermore, this serves to establish God's sovereign AUTHORity in writing human HIStory. (At least we all better hope so.)

Yet, here I am typing away apparently to no avail as usual, but maybe that's somehow still best at this juncture.




Oh well, like with Santa Claus, the 'myth' ultimately serves God's loving purpose. How exactly so given a coming Apocalypse remains to be seen, but why not add one more far-fetched angle to this unbelievable story unfolding around us?
