Fossilized Customs

[juliamajor]

juliamajor - interesting i must have hit a nerve. I find it interesting that people can following a faith without even studying its origins i.e what and where that faith originated and who was its founding fathers.
One person on this forum suggests that Jesus christ founded Catholaism. That’s very interesting, i’ve done my home work and found that Jesus founded no religions. He came for one perpose and that wasn’t to start a new religion.
The 10 commandments as handed to Moses on Mt Sinai appear to have changed some what after his ascention to Heaven and that raises a whole lot of questions in itself. To be honest, if you’re not prepared to do the history yourself and check everthing that is taught to you then you might as well be a slave because if you believe everything that is told to you without validating its integrity then you are a slave knowingly or un-knowingly.
Lew White makes its quite clear in his book, “do not take his word for it” do the home work yourself. If you do this you will find the answers but if you just accept what people like juliamajor have to say then you might as well become a drone and just accept everything. Didnt Jesus say to search the Scriptures and be learned to prove yourself worthy?
We all have choices in life and the biggest decision you will ever make and the only one that will affect you for atternity is the one you make regarding your Faith. Is you Faith in Jesus and His Fathers Truth or in what man in the flesh is trying to indoctrinate you with? If you choose to sit on a pew and not question what is put in front of you then you will be held accountable.
Jesus came to uphold His Fathers Word as His Word is Truth but man twists this to suit his own evil desires, desires of the flesh which are money, power, greed, tangable things that are worthless. This is the exact reason why Jesus had run in’s with the Pharisee’s, that were money and power mongerers who wanted to shut Jesus up because he was speaking Truth and the Pharisee’s follow their own Pharisaic law the Oral Law the Talmud also called Works of the Law or MaAseh HaTorah which pertains to the Works of the Oral (Talmud) Law not YHWH’s Laws / Teachings.
If you have access to a copy of Lews Whites book read it and do the homework yourself, it will open you mind but remember you can verify yourself the content by doing a little leg work / History yourself.
Blessings In Yeshua HaMashiach

The only nerve you hit is my anti-bigotry , anti-ignorance nerve.-otherwise-I’m peachy keen

If I may interject.
You say that we all should educate ourselves and not just accept what our “pastors” tell us. You ask:
Is you Faith in Jesus and His Fathers Truth or in what man in the flesh is trying to indoctrinate you with?

This is a good question as St Paul told his listeners to check Scripture to see if what he said was true. But of course one must recognize that St Paul was himself a “man of flesh” who was trying to “indoctrinate” others into the Truths of Christ.
What do you think St. Pauls response would be to those who, after “searching Scripture” came to different conclusions than he had come to?

Secondly I would call your attention to the Eunich on the Road to Ammeus (sp?) who as diligently reading Scripture but when asked if he understood it, famously responded, “How can I understand if I have no one to explain it to me?”

In other words, it is practically impossible to seperate, “The Word of God”, in The Bible from those who, with greater study or with greater spiritual gifts, teach it to us.
The Church is provided of God to do this. To preserve and to teach.

[earnestly]

juliamajor - blindness and ignorance is bliss, keep on trucking down that wide path. What you pope preaches is totally against what Scripture teaches.

Yeshua came to uphold His Fathers laws not to change them like some man made religions have done, keep Sabbath Kodesh (Holy and Sanctified), and to set straight the Pharisees who were teaching their own form of religion the Pharisaic Oral Law, MaAseh Hatorah (works of the law) as descriped throughout the Renewed Covenant (Brit Chadasha).

Yeshua taught his talmidim the Torah - 5 books of Moses as confirmed by the Tanakh / Prophets and writtings. This was the start of the restoration of Yisrael and the entire faith is about keeping YHWH’s Commandments and not the commandments of men as promoted by man made religion.
Yeshua taught from the Tanakh which is an acronym for Torah, Nevi’im (Prophets) and Ketuvim (writings) so if he taught his deciples this what were they teaching the Lost Tribes of Israel? To get back to the Truth, Word, Light which is the Torah, YHWH’s commandments, Nothing else.
Please show me anywhere where is says Jesus came to start a new religion called catholism? NO WHERE and just because you interpret one verse about building his House upon Paul means he started catholaism then your blind and indoctrinated with someone elses theology not Yeshua’s!
Wake up before its too late and start researching yourself. But if your happy being blind and in bondage then carry on, its not my problem but it will be yours sooner than you realise.
The deciples taught obedience to YHWH’s commandments not the other way round otherwise they would be do the work of HaSatan who in Scripture is said to be the Lawless one which equals Torah-less one which is anyone not hearing and doing the Word of YHWH Elohim!
Believe what you like, you will have eternity somewhere but it will not be in Heaven and Scripture confirms that.

 

[earnestly]

JRKH - No where in Scripture does it tell you to be indoctrinated by others who think they are well versed.
Yeshua makes it clear, we are to study Scripture and yes it is always good to listen to others perspective on His Word but it doesnt mean there interpretation is correct and NO where in Scritpure does it tell us that we must listen to someone just because they call themselves Pastor or Rabbi etc.
Most of these people are paid to preach which is why they fleece / steal 10% each week from those willing to listen. If you are indoctrinated with someone elses theology then you will never see the truth even if its placed in front of you.
Yeshua wants all his children to live forever but we have to make the choice to be counted and if you are not keeping his commandments as stated clearly in the Torah then you will be held accountable. This is clear in the Prophets, the Renewed covenant including Revelation. Keep the Word and do not add to or diminish from. Does that sound familiar? Somehow the commandments have been changed to suite man, what does it say about the Lawless and what he will do? He will change YHWH’s Laws and Times.
Simple stuff really if you really want to listen and let Scripture tell you the Truth and not Man.
The choice is ours as to which road we take, the narrow or the wide path. The remnant will be few Scriture says and will be more rare than fine Gold. Somehow i do not think catholaism meets any of this criteria as it teaches against Our Fathers Word / Truth.

Also - No where in Scripture does Scritpure say “listen only to Scripture”. There has to be a balance between the written word and oral teaching/interpretation and the use of ones God given gifts to discern, if indeed one has these gifts, for not everyone has.

Most of these people are paid to preach which is why they fleece / steal 10% each week from those willing to listen. If you are indoctrinated with someone elses theology then you will never see the truth even if its placed in front of you.

Since I know of no “rich” priests, nor have I ever been a member of a parish that is “rolling in dough”, nor have I ever heard one of my pastors or anyone else in our church mention “10%” (though I know where you got that), I consider that your statement above must relate to some other church group or people.

Yeshua wants all his children to live forever but we have to make the choice to be counted and if you are not keeping his commandments as stated clearly in the Torah then you will be held accountable. This is clear in the Prophets, the Renewed covenant including Revelation. Keep the Word and do not add to or diminish from. Does that sound familiar? Somehow the commandments have been changed to suite man, what does it say about the Lawless and what he will do? He will change YHWH’s Laws and Times.
Simple stuff really if you really want to listen and let Scripture tell you the Truth and not Man.

And if I listen to Scripture and let Scripture tell me the Truth, what will it tell me about the difference between those who, knowledgable in theology teach, and those who, not knowledgable in theology listen. I have looked and find my answer in Mt 23:2-3 where Yeshua in his own words tells us that we are to listen and obey all that the “teachers” tell us to “do and observe” for they “sit on moses seat”, that is they, even if they are personally sinful men, are proper teachers.
Yeshua also tells us that, “to whom much is given much is expected…” Teaching carries great responsibilities.
Yeshua also tells us, “Woe to any who lead one of these little ones astray…” Please note He does NOT say Woe to the little one who is led astray.

The choice is ours as to which road we take, the narrow or the wide path. The remnant will be few Scriture says and will be more rare than fine Gold. Somehow i do not think catholaism meets any of this criteria as it teaches against Our Fathers Word / Truth.

As you say it is our choice. Each must make that choice in honesty and in Love. I have been a wanderer, and in some ways, in my mind, I still do wander. But I do not “wander” in my Love for God, for His Son, or for my neighbor, and I build my understanding upon this because, as Yeshua has told us, “Upon these… all of the Law and All of the Prophets are based”.(Mt 22:36-40). While I am certainly imperfect in each of these things, God will not abandon such a one as I am, or as you are, who Love Him and Seek simply because we are imperfect at present.

You and I both Seek Him with honesty and integrety, each applying the gifts he gave us to understand. Perhaps he has given you greater gifts than He gave me. Perhaps the opposite is true. I do not know. I can only say that You must act in accordance with what you believe and so must I and we must each keep our eyes fixed upon the Goal of the Beatific vision. To be able to Stand before God at Judgement in sincerety and in Love.

[Ignatius]

blindness and ignorance is bliss,

Excellent point, so consider this:
Do you have any idea when your church was founded and by whom? You may find this enlightening:

If you are of the Catholic faith, Jesus Christ founded your Church in the year A.D. 30.
If you are Lutheran, your religion was founded by Martin Luther, an ex-monk in the Catholic Church, in 1517.
If you are Anabaptist, your religion was founded by Nicholas Storch and Thomas Munzer in Germany in 1521.
If you belong to the Church of England (Anglican), your religion was founded by King Henry VIII in the year 1534 because the pope would not grant him a divorce with the right to remarry.
If you belong to the Mennonites, your church was started in 1536 by Menno Simons in Switzerland.
If you are a Calvinist, Jon Calvin started your belief system in 1555 in Switzerland.
If you are a Presbyterian, your religion was founded when John Knox brought the teachings of John Calvin to Scotland in the Year 1560.
If you are Unitarian, your group developed in Europe in the 1500s.
If you are a Congregationalist, your religion branched off Puritanism in the early 1600s in England.
If you are a Baptist, you owe the tenets of your religion to John Smyth, who launched it in Amsterdam in 1607.
If you are Dutch Reformed, Michaelis Jones founded your church in New York in 1628.
If you are a Methodist, your religion was founded by John and Charles Wesley in England in 1744.
If you are an Episcopalian, your church came from England to the American colonies. It formed a separate religion founded by Samuel Seabury in 1789.
If you are a Campellite Christian Church, your religion was started by Thomas and Alexander Campbell and Barton Stone at a revival held at Bushy Creek around 1836.
If you are a Mormon (Latter-day Saints), Joseph Smith started your church in Palmyra, N.Y. in 1830.
If you are Seventh Day Adventist, your religion was founded by Ellen Whitein 1844 in Washington, New Hampshire.
If you worship with the Salvation Army, your sect began with William Booth in London in 1865.
If you are a Christian Scientist, you look to 1879 as the year your religion was founded by Mary Baker Eddy.
If you are a Jehovah’s Witness, your religion was founded by Charles Taze Russell in Pennsylvania in the 1870s.
If you’re Church of Christ, your church broke of from the Campellites in 1906.
If you are Pentecostal, your religion was started in the Topeka, Kansas in 1901 by Charles F. Parkham
If you are Assemblies of God your church grew out of Pentecostalism in 1914 in Hot Springs, Az.
If you are a member of Four-square Gospel, your church was started by Aimee Semple McPherson in L.A. in 1917.
If your Church of Christ, your church broke of from the Campellites in 1906.
If you are Calvary Chapel, Chuck Smith founded your church in Costa Mesa, Ca, 1965
If your organization is “evangelical nondenominational Christian” your group started in the 1970s by protestant evangelists.

If you would like to learn more about the teachings of Jesus Christ, please contact the folks at http://www.chnetwork.org/. I promise, if you unite yourself to Jesus Christ through His Church, you will experience the great gift the He has promised to those who follow Him. As Jesus said, “He who eats My body and drinks My blood lives in Me and I in him and I will raise him up on the last day.” And He is faithful and sure to keep His promises. Repent, turn to the Gospel and be saved and you will have everlasting life.

Grace and peace be with you.

Your servant in Christ.

cthulhubryan - “but not to the extent that one forgoes faith” As i didn’t say anything about forgoing One’s Faith this is just an assumption on your part. What i am saying is, if you do the leg work and study without someone elses xegesis or eisegesis then you will have a better chance of finding out the Truth and especially if a. you are obeying His commandments as handed down to Moses and b. if you are keeping these commandments as handed down to Moses c. praying to Our Father in heaven as he teaches us to and not as the heathen prays to his idolatrous idols of man.

It is in Matthew 16:18 where Yeshua says "and i tell you, that you are Kefa and upon this rock i will build my assembly. If you understand that what Yeshua was teaching from was the Tanakh and the Torah as these were the national constitution of Israel or Canaan at this time as there was no renewed (Brit) covenant (Chadasha) at this time until Yeshua’s ascentoin to Heaven.

You know, this stinks of being a Bennite. The awful evil crud that one Ben Massada used to post here before he was banned.

JRKH - MattiYahu 23:2, 3 in the Hebrew translation says; “On Moshe’s seat sit the scribes and P’rushim, and all that He says to you observe and do. But do not you according to their works, for they say but do not do”.

This clearly says to do what Moses said to do Not the Pharisees. Do you obey the commandments as handed down to Moses? Do you keep the Sabbath Qodesh (sanctified and holy)? If you celebrate Good Friday and Easter Sunday i ask you this question, why is it that you cannot fit 3 days and 3 nights into good Friday and Easter Sunday? It’s because there is no such Scripture that records these days as anything but they are pagan festivals just as Xmas is.
Yeshua was crucified on a Wednesday a high Sabbath and was resurrected on a Sabbath exactly 3 days and 3 nights later. As Yeshua said, there is only one sign that this evil and adulterous generation shall be given and that is the Jonah code.
Obey His commandments and search the Scriptures for Truth and that may mean doing a little more research than looking at an English translation of Scripture as there are plenty of mistakes and coverups.
I’ll leave you and your forum with this because as YHWH says, those that are teaching against His Word / Truth are blind and he will enhance that blindness so they will never see His Truth. Yeshua will cleanse the earth of all those that teach lawlessness (Torah-less-ness) that is state quite clearly in the Greek as Anomos which means without Torah. (Prov: 28:9 He who turns his ear from hearing the Torah, even his prayer is an obomination).

So many lies-so little time. This some of the most half-axxed “scholarship” that ‘s around and smells of SDA. The lies start to become an obscenity after awhile because no matter how much information is put out to refute the tripe about sabbath , pagan christmas(which I have posted reams about from multiple historical sources and archaeologists) persist in pursuing this garbage, propagandizing even though it’s totally non-historical.That is "false witness"against your neighbor-that is calumny.Both deadly sins- both biblically forbidden.But you just go along your mouth full of poison which has been refuted soundly by authors , historians, archaeologists of all stripes- and vomit it up as if it were real.Stuff and nonsense.Bigots always think that they are righteous-bigots also believe the end justifies the means.You and the rest of your klan keep truckin’ down that lonesome highway where EG White is a “prophet” who cannot be contradicted and whose demented prophecies are considered “holy Writ”…sad, pathetic ,pitiful-and strangely funny -because it comes from the “lunatic Fringe” who Keep people from knowing God because of their hatred and portray themselves as holier than thou and self righteous and then you talk about Pharisees.!I have to tell you, that takes a lot of nerve and the ability to speak out of both sides of your mouth and no retrospection-but that is very apparent.No humility, no generosity of spirit no “hesed”.

 

[juliamajor]

The tanakh was not canonized for a very long time-especially Kethuvim which was in flux until at least 100 ad. So teaching from that part of scripture would have been difficult.!Unless an traditional canon was passed orally or in some other manner?

 

[Vincent_L]

Even if you prove the book wrong you still won’t prove the Church right. Someone helped me understand that.

The thing I have realized is you’ll never understand the liturgy and customs of the Church if you have not first understood the liturgy and customs of Judaism.

The temple and synagouge service, the confessions in conjunction with the sacrifice. The progression of the slaying of the sacrifice, then placing it on the altar and then eating it. The incense, the vestments, understanding the phrase “all Israel” as it relates to the Church understanding of the Communion of Saints, the Jewish belief in purification after death and on and on.

When somone understands where the Church came from, one will understand without argument the absurdity of insisting “Constantine Did It”.

Its far more than I could explain but I would suggest you start to study the roots of the Liturgy and practices of the Church from their Jewish Roots. Ignatius press has some books and as Cardinal Ratzinger the Pope has written some excellent material on this.

Once you understand the liturgy and where it came from you will be able to explain it in ways the fellow has never heard. He’ll be completely off his talking points and if you are patient and polite will certainly leave him challenged.

 

[earnestly]

Catholism and the rest of the man made religions are lucky that they do not answer to me otherwise you would be liveing with your father HaSatan now rather than when our Mashiach Yeshua does it at his soon return.

Blindness is something Our Father in heaven has installed on you and that will be lifted when Yeshua returns and then all you gentiles will say “we have inherited lies, forgive us”

There is only One Truth and that is what was handed down to Moses and confirmed by the Prophets and Yeshua. Not what is practised by man made religions especially one that has changed Gods 10 commandments to suit it own theology of Greed and Lust for power as proven throughout history.

 

[berwick07]

Mr. Lew White writes his book to enlighten readers about a vast conspiracy orchestrated by Lucifer through the Catholic Church with the help of NAZI’s, Masons, Illuminati and other nefarious groups, rulers and people throughout its 2000 year history. He warns that: “BILLIONS ENTRUST THEIR ETERNITY TO MEN WHO EXPOLIT THEM, MASQUERADING AS MESSENGERS OF LIGHT.” (Capitalization by Mr. White) It is easy to fall into the waiting jaws of arrogance when you become accustomed to a way of belief. But a belief unchallenged is a façade. It is only through open examination and an open heart to other beliefs and possibilities that personal faith turns a façade into a fortress.

Mr. White states his purpose is “exposing the lies and revealing the truth.” What follows is a fast and loose presentation of historical facts, for the purpose of judging and chastising major religions, and in particular, the Catholic Church. Early on, he sets the stage. He claims the “Inquisition burned and tortured millions of people to death for having just come into contact with a little truth.” Later he is a bit more precise by stating the adversary (Catholic Church) “began his INQUISITION (Emphasis by Mr. White), murdering over 83 million people over a 600 year period.” As inexcusable and heinous as it was, it is not difficult to find that scholars have reasonably placed the number of dead over the period covering both major Inquisitions, at about 6,000. Ironically, the Inquisition began in response to the Albigensians of Southern France. They preached twisted interpretations and non-existent Biblical verses to ignorant and illiterate people. They looked upon the Church and Pope as being directed by satanic interests.

Mr. White presents his version of biblical and historical activities “since creation, just under 6,000 years…” ago by presenting an often times incoherent 230 page rant replete with totally unrelated sequences such as: “He cannot be sacrificed over again. There was no such term as Christmas until the 9th century. Going back to the 6th century, there was a time when our years were not even reckoned as we think of them today” It’s not possible to follow such disconnected thoughts in any coherent manner.

When he comes across a record that may cast doubt on his claims, he merely points out that the record has been “monked” or in some other way altered by dark forces. He uses the term “monk” to derisively describe the work done in monasteries during the so-called Dark Ages to preserve the light of the church, culture and western civilization until it could again shine and bring beauty to the world.

It is difficult to address all the author’s discrepancies; short of writing a book that takes him on, point by point. A quick review of present day anti-Catholic writings from authors such as Bob Jones, Bernard Berenson, Maria Monk, Alberto Rivera and Loraine Boettner’s and the literature of anti-Catholic institutions such as Chick Publications, Mission to Catholics International, Lumen Productions, Research and Education Foundation, Osterhus Publishing House, Christians United for Reformation (CURE), Harvest House, and Bob Jones University Press, to name a few, will reveal an amazing similarity with Mr. White’s work. Mr. White continues most of the same historical errors and anti-Catholic sentiments as presented by his predecessors. Such observation calls into question Mr. White’s claim to independent work.

He fixates on the rich symbolism and inspiring art of the Catholic Church throughout his book, claiming they are used to mislead the faithful and misrepresent the teaching of God.
Three problems from a logical perspective are apparent. He assumes that if ancient pagans had a symbol, belief or activity similar to what’s found in the Catholic Church, then that Catholic or Christian practice or belief must be derived from that pagan source. Secondly, he assumes that pagan similarities are older than Christian practices. Finally, he judges the validity of many customs on their history or origins rather than on their merits. In other words, Mr. White might say, "No one should use a particular invention because it was invented by a criminal or through other despicable means.” Apparently, he would deny medicine to a dying child if it was discovered by a pagan.

The Catholic Church was not founded to criticize Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus or Mr. White. Mr. White proselytizes through condemnation of others, rather than through holy revelation and enlightenment. The Catholic Church is founded upon the word of God made flesh in Jesus Christ, not Mr. White’s version of the Torah. God so loves His children that He manifested Himself among us, as Christ, to give us a clear and consistent message. Jesus Christ gives us the right direction and lights our way. This is a firsthand message from God in human form, not a burning bush, a wind or lightening. To ensure that message is not lost among the vagaries of humanity, God instituted a Church to safeguard His word “and upon this rock I build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Jesus Christ started only one church, and that Church has stood alone for two thousand years refuting the heresies Mr. White resurrects, and his bizarre explanations of God’s will. Mr. White misses the fulfillment of the Torah in Jesus Christ. Instead he finds a satanic curtain that hides the truth while the faithful are led to perdition. I am astounded that he would think that a church founded by God would not survive the frailties of man. Generations later, despite human, and dare I say satanic, attacks from within and without, God’s message continues to dwell among us, heralded and kept pure by His Church without end. I highly recommend this book for Catholics to use as a research tool. If you take up Mr. White’s challenge to independently seek the truth in what he writes, you will be rewarded with the comforting embrace of the Holy Catholic Church.

Gee, anyone who tells you to cure Cancer by drinking tea on page 60 and the rest of his book is the well known disproven copy cat thesis tektonics.org/copycathub.html — don’t take him seriously.

JESUS CHRIST - a promotion of the Jesuits (Society of Jesus), using Greek and Latin, to corrupt the true and only Hebrew Name of the Messiah, Yahushua (Yah is our salvation). “Jesus” means nothing in Hebrew, and cannot be transliterated back to Hebrew and maintain the original character of the true Name. JESUS is based on IESOU (Greek), from a Hebrew acronym, YESHU, meaning “may his name be blotted-out”. More information on this can be seen at www.fossilizedcustoms.com/transliteration.html

[Warrenton]

Hi
Lew White has done a lot of research over many Years and the good thing about it is you can check on everything he states in his book just as you should question everything told you by a pastor or priest.

Open you mind and seek Truth and you may find.

Guys like Lew are all the same. No Christmas, no presents, no birthdays, no nothing. The only thing he will “give” anyone is a tedious lecture justifying not celebrating the same things Christians have been celebrating since time immemorial.

What a bore.
