Abortion: What WOULD Jesus Do?

This silly story left me wondering . . . what WOULD Jesus do about abortion?

Christ Kills Two, Injures Seven In Abortion-Clinic Attack

HUNTSVILLE, AL-Jesus Christ, son of God and noted pro-life activist, killed two and critically wounded seven others when He opened fire in the waiting room of a Huntsville abortion clinic Tuesday.

The answer's not in The Onion. It's in The Bible, and it's probably not what you expect me to say.

There's a little song we all know. It goes, "Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world. Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world."

If Jesus, as this Feelgooder tune claims, truly loves all the children of the world, why does He allow billions of them to be born with no chance of Salvation?

"What's that?" you ask. "No, no, everyone has an equal chance at Salvation. The vast majority of people just choose Hell instead of Jesus."

Let's investigate that, shall we?

Two classes of little children are, according to the Bible, condemned to eternal torture in the Pit of Hell by virtue of being born: Those who do not choose Jesus, and those who are illegitimate. Loopholes exist for some who fail to choose Jesus, but never for a bastard.

Deuteronomy 23:2

A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.

I don't see any ambiguity here. Neither a bastard, nor his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc., to the tenth generation, may enter into the Lord's congregation. If they can't enter the congregation, how can they be Saved?

They can't.

Is there any loophole? Well, the Bible indicates that those "without understanding" aren't subject to the Law. That includes the mentally retarded, young children, and . . . the unborn.

What would Jesus do? Would Jesus allow an illegitimate child to be born, knowing that it would be condemned to an eternity in Hellfire because of its parentage? Or would Jesus abort that little fetus, giving it an effective "Get into Heaven Free" card?

I'd like to think He'd choose the compassionate option.

"But wait," you cry. "That's KILLING! God says THOU SHALT NOT KILL!"

Is it killing? Let's investigate. Does God consider the unborn to be people?

No.

Exodus 21:22-25 tells us, quite clearly, that an unborn embryo is not a person:

22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
23 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

Well, there's punishment . . . a fine . . . but what about if he kills a man? Exodus 21:12 answers that:

12 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.

Clearly, God does not consider the unborn to be people. Therefore, the Bible does not condemn abortion; in fact, it seems clear that this would be the alternative preferred to condemning your illegitimate child to an eternity of torture for your misdeeds!

Do you still doubt God's Plan? If so, consider that 20% -- one of every five -- pregnancies fails. In most cases, the fertilized egg -- according to the antiChristian "Right to Life" crowd, a living person -- fails to implant, and the mother doesn't even know she was pregnant. Many more fail shortly after implantation. Look it up, if you doubt my veracity. Go ahead, I'll wait.

Back? Good. Did you look up how many millions of known miscarriages there are each year? Where the expectant mother actually knows that she's pregnant? Is God murdering all these children? Or are they not children at all, until they have taken the breath of life? (See Genesis 2:7; Adam was not "a living soul" until God breathed the "breath of life" through his nostrils!

In Christ's name, if you are pregnant and will not be married in time to give the child a legitimate birth, show some Christian compassion and abort the unwanted embryo, that it not suffer God's unending wrath for your failure to exercise a little self-restraint!!

AOL and Switched team up to teach you to steal from the boss

That's right, folks. The good people -- and I use the term loosely -- at Switched.com have posted Tech Tips for Looking Busy at Work, promoted by AOL to millions on their welcome screen. Apparently, we're all so worried about saving our jobs from being exported or taken by immigrants, that we need to figure out ways to steal from our employers and avoid working.

What's that? Steal?

What is it called when you take money for a product and then don't deliver? Fraud, a form of theft. AOL is promoting ways to get paid while not providing the service. AOL is promoting theft and laziness. Do the people at AOL care what God thinks about sloth and greed and theft? I guess not.

It's nice to see that AOL openly promotes good Christian values like stealing and lying! Be sure to give them your comments.

Emilio Gonzales: God Wins (As Usual)

If you've not been following the story, a little boy named Emilio Gonzales in Austin, Texas has been suffering from Leigh's Disease. This horrific genetic degenerative disorder always ends in death:

Leigh's disease is a rare inherited neurometabolic disorder characterized by degeneration of the central nervous system. Leigh's disease can be caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA or by deficiencies of an enzyme called pyruvate dehydrogenase. Symptoms of Leigh's disease usually begin between the ages of 3 months to 2 years and progress rapidly. In most children, the first signs may be poor sucking ability and loss of head control and motor skills. These symptoms may be accompanied by loss of appetite, vomiting, irritability, continuous crying, and seizures. As the disorder progresses, symptoms may also include generalized weakness, lack of muscle tone, and episodes of lactic acidosis, which can lead to impairment of respiratory and kidney function. Heart problems may also occur.

That certainly sounds like torture to me. What do you think?

As discussed elsewhere on this blog, we know from the Bible that all things which happen on Earth and in the universe are God's Will. Either He causes things to happen, or He knowingly (being omniscient) allows them to occur, having decided not to stop them. Either way, this makes every event His Will.

Is this not so? Denying it would be blasphemy!

Of course, this means that God decided to confer upon little Emilio a brief, torturous existence. Yes, either God intentionally slowly killed Emilio with this tragic disease, or He knowingly allowed Emilio to die of the disease. The end result, of course, is the same: God's Will is done.

In December, God had decided Emilio would die. What happened? The disobedient doctors at Children's Hospital in Austin put him on artificial life support, defying God's Will!

In time, perhaps with prayer, these doctors realized that what they were doing was wrong. They were denying God, Creator of all (including Leigh's Disease) His rightful place in deciding the time of Emilio's death. They announced that it was time to stop interfering with God.

Surprise!

The mother went to court, demanding that the doctors continue to blaspheme the sacredness of God-ordained death with artificial support!

Finally, of course, God won out:

Emilio Gonzales died in his mother's arms Saturday night at Children's Hospital of Austin, Texas, family attorney Jerri Ward said. (Watch how baby Emilio fought for his life )

"God chose to take Emilio at this time," Ward said.

Amazing. The lawyer who expended so much effort (and garnered so much publicity) fighting God's Will has the gall to claim that God didn't choose to take Emilio in December, but rather now!

Meanwhile, what has the hospital's lawyer to say?

"We mourn the death of Emilio Gonzales," Michael Regier, senior vice president of legal services for the Seton Family of Hospitals, said in a statement. "We pray that in the days and weeks to come, Emilio's mother and family will be comforted by God's loving presence and by the knowledge that Emilio's earthly suffering is now ended."

Amazing. All these people, every one of whom fought God's Will, now compound their error by invoking His Holy Name!

I sincerely hope that this crew of blasphemers -- lawyers, parents, and doctors -- can come to Jesus before it is too late for them to be saved!

What of little Emilio? Surely God had a reason for sentencing an innocent to die so horrible and painful a death!

Not being God, I cannot claim to know His thoughts beyond what He says in His Word, the Bible. I will not speculate as to His reasons for inflicting this torture upon an infant. Rather, I will bring up the lessons I see that we can all learn.

First, God's Will always will be done. You can pull together all the lawyers and doctors and machines you like, but if God wants something to happen, it will. This case, like the Terri Schiavo case, illustrates this truth in no uncertain terms.

Second, I've learned a lesson by reading other blogs on this issue. The United States has many millions of Hispanic citizens. Note that I use the word, "citizens". However, upon many a blog (either in the post or in comments), I've seen heartless people complaining endlessly about how these Gonzales people must be illegal aliens, using "our" tax dollars to pay for life support! Yet not one of these very "concerned" individuals cares a whit about disobedience to God; just that a fraction of their taxes might go to help someone they don't believe to be deserving!

Here's a news flash: 43 million Americans are Hispanic, as of 2005. That's a lot. 14% of the total population. Of that total, 7.6 million voted in 2004, and 1.1 million are in the armed services. Only citizens can do those things.

Most Hispanic folks are Catholic, and on the fast train to Hell. Some have come to America, seeking freedom from Papist oppression, and some were born here. Would you not better spend your time helping them understand that praying to Mary is the same as praying to Satan, instead of worrying about how much they've paid in taxes this year?

Fred and Shirley Phelps Can't Get Story Straight on VA Tech

Folks, as correct as Fred Phelps is about God's Scripturally-stated feelings toward homosexuals and witches, he has once again overstepped his bounds as a mere mortal and ascribed motives of his own imagining to God's actions. This time, he has decided that homosexuals aren't involved; God used the killer at Virginia Tech to avenge an alleged attack on Phelps!

Have a look at one of his websites at http://www.godhatesamerica.com/ Quoted from that site:

WBC to Preach at Funerals of Virginia Tech Dead

WBC will preach at the funerals of the Virginia Tech students killed on campus during a shooting rampage April 16, 2007. You describe this as monumental horror, but you know nothing of horror -- yet. Your bloody tyrant Bush says he is 'horrified' by it all. You know nothing of horror -- yet. Your true horror is coming. "They shall also gird themselves with sackloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads" (Eze. 7:18).

Why did this happen, you ask? It's simple. On April 16, 2007, this nation, through the offices of your military and conspirators therewith took a shot at the servants of God -- your marksman was limp and lame and he had terror all around, so he did a lousy job. But what you get for your trouble is that your God shot at you! The LORD your God sent a crazed madman to shoot at your children, and he didn't miss. Get this straight -- God sent this South Korean madman to kill 31 of your children at Virginia Tech. Was God asleep while this took place? Was He on vacation? Of course not. He willed this to happen to punish you for assailing His servants.

Phelps here appears to claim that someone of the U.S. government attacked him or a member of his cult, and that God responded by murdering students in Virginia. Apparently, Phelps feels himself to be in very close contact with our Lord!

Oddly, Fred seems to have neglected to mention this event to daughter Shirley.

Here's a blurb from their main site, at http://www.godhatesfags.com/featured/dearshirley/2007/20070416_DearShirley50.pdf

We’ll Tell You "Why" The Virginia Tech Massacre – A Lovely Divine Irony And
Righteous Judgment Against This Impudent Nation

Shirley Phelps writes:

The problem with your statement about what those children were doing at that University is that is left out the most important element of what they were doing there. The so called higher education system of this nation has a primary objective and that is to teach rebellion against God to every child they can get their hands on. That is also the primary objective of the lying false prophets that litter the landscape of Doomed america. That is also the primary objective of the parents of Doomed america. Since the teaching of rebellion against God leads to eternal death, also called hell, your God, in a piece of lovely Divine irony has used that very institution that is leading them to eternal death, to be the place where they receive death, or is the launch point from which each of those children entered hell! Make no mistake, crybaby Kisber - they are in hell! PERIOD! They will be in hell for eternity - that is - for ever and ever and ever - no end of days - no relief from the eternal torment, no days off for good behavior, etc.

This is a perfect execution of judgment by a righteous God to a disobedient and rebellious nation and generation!

It seems Fred and Shirley forgot to check their stories with one another, even after running them past God!

Much as Pastors Feelgood across the nation are obsessed with just one part or a few parts of the Bible (frequently John 3:16), Phelps and family are obsessed with homosexuals and witchcraft. Just like Pastors Feelgood, the Phelps family claims to know God's Will, beyond what the Bible says. Just like Pastors Feelgood, the Phelps family ignores the majority of God's Word, cherry-picking the verses they wish to obsess upon.

The Phelps family is just as misleading as any Pastor Feelgood. They commit lies of omission against God's Word on a daily basis, just like Pastors Feelgood, and teach them to others. They alter through addition and deletion God's Word, just like Pastors Feelgood.

They will be condemned to the eternal tortures of the Lake of Fire. Just like Pastors Feelgood.

How do I know this? Am I deciding what God's Will is? No. I'm reading it!

Revelation 22:18-19

18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

So it is written. I hope the Phelps family wakes up to God's Word before it is too late for them.

God's Will: The Virginia Tech Shootings

Unless you've been under a rock today, you know that a gunman shot and killed 33 people (and wounded 15) at Virginia Tech today before turning his gun on himself. Story with breaking news is here:
http://www.roanoke.com/news/nrv/breaking/wb/113294

and also here:
http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/04/16/vtech.shooting/index.html

Upset over being dumped by his girlfriend, this Godless loser (let's face it, nobody with God in his life would go about shooting people!) decided to go on a rampage and kill off as many of his fellow students as he could. At the moment, many are wondering how God could stand idly by and let such a thing happen.

I, for one, do not believe God stands idly by and lets anything happen. As it is written in Matthew 10:

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

What does the Bible tell us? God is omnipotent! God is omniscient! Nothing happens in this world without His knowledge and His direction!

Everything, including this shooting, is part of God's Plan.

Ah, you doubt this. It conflicts with Pastor Feelgood's lies; he tells you that God is all about peace and love, and wants everyone to be happy all the time. Doesn't he?

My Bible says, in Exodus 15:3, "The LORD is a man of war: The LORD is His name." But we'll save that discussion for another day.

Following Pastor Feelgood's lines, you say, "Surely God didn't intend for all these fine young people to be brutally slaughtered, even as they tried to better themselves! They had their whole lives ahead of them, with many future chances to be Saved!"

Let's examine this logically, shall we?

If God did not intend this result, then that means that some loser who got dumped by his girlfriend is capable of thwarting the Divine Will of the Creator of the Universe.

Does that make sense? Er, no. Sorry, I'm not buying it.

Perhaps you say, "Oh, I don't believe that God takes an active role in human day-to-day life. I believe that God started the whole universe thing rolling along, then backed off and lets us find our own way. So humans make their own mess, without God's involvement."

Ok, let's examine that position!

If God started the universe and then stopped intervening and does not have a Divine Plan, then that means that all "miracles" are nonsense or demonic possession. You know, like when someone is "miraculously" cured of cancer, or "miraculously" survives a 10-story fall. Nothing to do with God, and not a miracle.

After all, you believe that God is not involved in human life. Miracles are divine intervention.

Sorry, friend. You can't have your cake and eat it, too. Either:

Option A: God IS involved in humans' daily lives, in which case the shootings at Virginia Tech (and the Holocaust, and Pol Pot's ethnic cleansing program, and the 9/11 attack, and the war in Iraq) are manifestations His Divine Will in accordance with His Plan, or

Option B: God IS NOT involved in humans' daily lives, in which case all "miracles" are not the work of God. This includes two miracles specific to Christianity: One of Virgin Birth, and one of Resurrection.

I'm forced to go with Option A. Aren't you?

Why did God want these 33 people dead, and 15 wounded? Is it because somebody else got an abortion, or because someone's a homosexual, or because there were female teachers?

If I were God, I could tell you. I'm not, the last time I checked. Therefore, I do not know His motives; neither do the people waiting to tell you this was God's Revenge for (fill-in-the-sin). Granted, He isn't a fan of homosexuals or female teachers, but He IS the most prolific abortionist of all time (20% of pregnancies fail after conception, most without the mother even knowing she's pregnant. It's called spontaneous abortion, look it up . . .).

The fact is, WE will not know why God wanted this to happen until we stand before Him and ask. All we do know, is that everything which happens is God's Will.

God knew when He formed the universe that the vast majority of the humans He was going to create would fall short of His requirements for eternal bliss in Heaven. Therefore, it is God's Will.

From the Roanoke paper:

Seth Terrell, Virginia Tech campus pastor at Blacksburg Church of Christ, says the congregation will hold a prayer vigil tonight at the church. The time is yet to be determined but will likely be 6 or 7, he said.

Do you think they'll give God the glory?

Easter Bunny Banned!!

That's right, folks. They didn't take direction from me, nor did they take it from God . . . but the folks at the Newport, Rhode Island school district did the Lord's Will without knowing it!

Some call Easter Bunny ban hare-brained, but others agree
Saturday, March 24, 2007
By Gina Macris, Journal Staff Writer

TIVERTON — The ban on the Easter Bunny’s appearance at the middle-school craft fair today has raised the ire of cottontail lovers everywhere — especially at the New York offices of the Catholic League. [There's a surprise . . .Emphasis mine.]

At the direction of Schools Supt. William Rearick, Peter Rabbit will replace the Easter Bunny at a photo booth sponsored by the Parent-Teacher Council at today’s craft fair, a switch that caught the attention of Catholic League president Bill Donahue in Manhattan.

Donahue, who represents 300,000 members nationwide, said in a statement that it is “unconscionable that in this day and age Superintendent Rearick would choose to
honor a thief.”

“As every schoolchild knows, Peter Rabbit stole from Mr. McGregor’s garden,” Donahue said. [I suppose it'd be far better to honor the cult of Ba'al/Moloch? Child sacrifices and all?]

. . .

About 120 e-mails from outraged members of the Catholic League had landed in [the superintendent's] in box before day’s end. [Emphasis mine.]

. . .

The Catholic League describes itself as the nation’s largest Catholic civil-rights organization, which although not part of the Church, defends individual Catholics and Catholicism from defamation and discrimination. [I didn't know the Easter Bunny was a Catholic. Wait, yes I did.]

. . .

Donahue noted it was “not a Jew or a Muslim who complained about the Easter Bunny,” but the vice chairman of the School Committee, Michael Burk, whom he characterized as an “ex-Catholic.”

. . .

In Cranston, Asst. Supt. Peter Nero said, “We probably have a number of principals who have Santa Claus outfits in their closets who can’t use them anymore, because a few years ago we understood them to be symbols of Christmas.

“I think the same would hold true for the Easter Bunny.”
http://www.projo.com/news/content/bunnies25_03-24-7_L1508CO.371e890.html

Now, you already know my position on the Catholic Cult's involvement in promoting the symbols of the Babylonian cult of Ba'al and, in fact, the very creation of "Easter", bypassing the celebration of Passover commanded by God in the Bible for their own traditions. You don't? Read my post on the subject here.

Now that you're up to speed, do you find it as interesting as I do that the group vigorously speaking out against the Bunny Ban, and with rudeness and sarcasm to boot, is the Catholic League?

The Easter Bunny is no more a part of Christianity than Santa Claus, yet the Catholic League attacks a school district for dumping a symbol of a pagan fertility goddess. Why? What do you think? I'd like to hear an explanation, if somebody has one.

Here Comes Satan Cottontail, Hopping Down the Demon Trail

Chocolate bunnies and colored eggs. Satan's Communion, every Easter Sunday! Will you and your children be participating in demonic rituals celebrating Molech and Baal, or will you turn your eyes to God this year?

Easter. For many, it conjures images of a basket-toting rabbit bearing chocolate bunnies. The White House hosts an Easter Egg hunt, as do many churches. What's wrong with that? It's a celebration of spring, and fertility, and . . . Yes, fertility. I'll bet you didn't know Jesus was a fertility god, did you?

What's that you say? He's not?

Then why are you worshipping rabbits -- an unclean animal, consumption of which is abomination to God -- and hunting for colored eggs on the celebration of His Resurrection?

Catholics, that's why!

Huh?

Yes, Catholics. The inheritors of the Babylonian religion, who have perverted every aspect of Christianity with the ways of Nimrod and Semiramis (Ishtar)!

Satan has found a very clever way of perverting Christianity . . . He used the Catholic cult to inject his own rituals -- those directed at any number of false gods, and even a false Savior -- into Christian worship! Think about it . . . Whenever you idolize the Easter bunny, or trade eggs, or even fast at Lent, you are worshipping Satan!

An abbreviated history:

In the early days of Christianity, Christians observed the Passover. In fact, there is no reference to an annual celebration of Jesus' resurrection in the Bible, but instead the continuing celebration of Passover! So where did Easter come from? And when?

Well, until the third century A.D., Passover was celebrated. As the Church became dominated by Gentiles, they desired not to celebrate with the Jews. So, the designation of a particular single-day holiday became more important. In the early fourth century (First Council of Nicea, in 325 A.D.), it was more firmly established that a single-Sunday celebration would be held, dismissing the Passover commanded in the Bible entirely!

Indeed, the Catholic cult took one of many steps on its path of putting the traditions of men above the commandments of God. How many Christian churches do you see celebrating Passover? Not yours, eh? Yet the Bible commands it!

It's not hard to see that, once this step was taken, Catholics rapidly slid down a slippery slope toward worship of fertility goddesses and false messiahs!

A Tale of Two Wascally Wabbits

There are two sets of stories surrounding the origin of the Easter Bunny and Easter eggs. Neither has anything to do with the Resurrection of Jesus, and each stems from hatred of God and the worship of false goddesses!

The more commonly-believed version, distributed by neo-pagans everywhere, The Second (or Later) Wabbit:

It is believed that the Anglo-Saxon people worshipped a fertility goddess named Eostre or Ostara. This goddess had as her symbol the rabbit (after all, they reproduce like rabbits . . . appropriate symbol for a fertility goddess!) and the egg (new life, birds come from eggs). Does the name sound familiar?

The etymology of the name is traced to Bede the Venerable, a Catholic historian.

The English and German names, "Easter" and "Ostern," are not etymologically derived from Pesach [Passover] and according to the 8th century Christian monk and historian Bede are instead related to ancient name for the Anglo Saxon goddess, Eostre, who was celebrated during Eosturmonath, equivalent to April/Aprilis. Bede wrote in Latin:

"Eosturmonath, qui nunc paschalis mensis interpretatur, quondam a dea illorum quae Eostre vocabatur et cui in illo festa celebrabant nomen habuit."

Translated: "Eosturmonath, which is now interpreted as the paschal month, was formerly named after the goddess Eostre, and has given its name to the festival."

When the Catholics (under the Holy Roman Empire) began conquering assorted northern peoples and converting them to their already-polluted mutilation of Christianity, they decided that encouraging the heathens to join up and buy in to their cult was more important than teaching Christ's Truth. So, Pope Gregory I suggested to missionaries that they allow the heathens to retain and incorporate their traditions!

English historian Bede's Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum ("Ecclesiastic History of the English People") contains a letter from Pope Gregory I to Saint Mellitus, who was then on his way to England to conduct missionary work among the pagan Anglo-Saxons. Pope Gregory suggested that converting heathens would go easier if they were allowed to retain the outward forms of their traditional pagan practices and traditions, while recasting those traditions spiritually towards the Christian God instead of to their pagan "devils": "to the end that, whilst some gratifications are
outwardly permitted them, they may the more easily consent to the inward consolations of the grace of God".

The full text of the letter can be found here. Note: This same reference was removed from WikiPedia's article on Easter within the last 24 hours; following this vandalism (presumably by Satanic Bunnyists or Catholics), WikiPedia has frozen edits to the article until April 12.

The message of Gregory? Gain their obedience to the Catholic Cult, regardless of how watered-down or damaged the message of Jesus becomes in the process! Let the traditions of men take precedence over the commandments of God!

What has God to say about that idea?

As Jesus, He spoke to the Pharisees, but it seems also to the Catholic Cult:

Matthew 15: 7-9
7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Gregory I was Pope from 590 til his death in 604. As you recall from above (First Council of Nicea, 325), he was following long-standing Catholic Cult tradition of incorporating pagan "traditions of men" and ignoring the commandments of God whenver it was expedient.

The First (or Earlier) Wabbit:

The other, less-followed origin of The Bunny of Satan can be found in the Babylonian religion founded by Nimrod and his wife, Semiramis (also called Ishtar). The similarity of the names (Easter and Ishtar) is largely considered a false etymology, so we won't concern ourselves with that. What matters more is the entire basis of the celebration!

Nimrod? Isn't that just a name we call silly people?

It's also the name of a man of great evil. He is mentioned in the book of Genesis:

Nimrod, son of Cush, son of Ham, son of Noah.

Genesis 10: 8-10

8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

Now, we all know the story of the Tower of Babel. Most of us also know that Babel is another name for Babylon, center of the ancient Babylonian Mysteries, a vile cult which despised God.

In fact, Nimrod was revered as a demigod; following his death, Semiramis deified him as a Sun-God known as Baal. He was also known as Molech. Familiar names?

Molech's cult demanded human sacrifices. In fact, Molech was so offensive to God, that He commanded the stoning of ANY followers of the Molech cult, whether they were Israelite or no!

Leviticus 20:2

Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.

Jeremiah 32:35

And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

Semiramis had a son out of wedlock, and claimed that he (Tammuz) was born of divine intervention, the rebirth of Nimrod! She claimed him to be the Messiah promised by God! Semiramis then set herself up to be worshipped as the Mother of God, Queen of Heaven, Goddess of Fertility.

Sounding familiar yet? On two levels, even. First, the Wabbit:

The rabbit is well known as a sexual symbol of fertility. In various parts of the world, religions which developed from Babel also associate the rabbit with periodicity, both human and lunar (Egypt, China, etc.). As you may remember, the Mother Goddess Semiramis (Easter) is associated with the Moon. In other words, the Easter bunny symbolizes the Mother Goddess. Annual Spring time fertility rituals are associated worship of the Mother Goddess and Tammuz, the reincarnation of her husband Nimrod. http://www.christiananswers.net/q-eden/edn-t020.html

Let us not forget the eggs:

. . . [F]rom Egyptian Belief and Modern Thought, James Bonwick, pp. 211-212: “Eggs were hung up in the Egyptian temples. Bunsen calls attention to the mundane egg, the emblem of generative life, proceeding from the mouth of the great god of Egypt. The mystic egg of Babylon, hatching the Venus Ishtar [Semiramis], fell from heaven to the Euphrates. Dyed eggs were sacred Easter offerings in Egypt, as they are still in China and Europe. Easter, or spring, was the season of birth, terrestrial and celestial.” - http://www.thercg.org/books/ttooe.html

The idea of a mystic egg spread from Babylon to many parts of the world. In Rome, the egg was part of the sacred ceremonies of the Mysteries of Bacchus. The Druids used the egg as their sacred emblem. In Northern Europe, China and Japan the eggs were colored for their sacred festivals.

The egg was also a symbol of fertility; Semiramis (Easter) was the goddess of fertility. The Easter egg is a symbol of the pagan Mother Goddess, and it even bears one of her names. http://www.christiananswers.net/q-eden/edn-t020.html

What of the "Queen of Heaven"? That title has fallen to a new mistress, revered by the Catholic Cult. We'll discuss that another time.

For now: What are you doing to celebrate Christ's Resurrection? Are you celebrating Passover, as God commanded? Or are you taking your children to Satan's Easter Egg hunt at your church?

Will your kids be chomping on chocolate eggs and rabbits tomorrow, taking the Devil's Communion?
