mortify Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 [quote name='Opened_Eyes' post='1176196' date='Jan 25 2007, 09:58 PM'] [b][u]The Catholic Church[/u] made up "Christ Mass" to assimilate Jesus to the pagan sun god that was always "reincarnated" each December 25th on the winter solstice in astrology! "Tammuz" was this pagan sun-god also known as "Baal." God showed this to Ezekiel in Ezekiel 8 that they were worshiping this pagan sun god in Israel and he said it is an Abomination![/b] [/quote] Now why would the Church adopt a pagan holiday worshipped in ancient babylon? Did it even reach Rome? Was the cult of Tammuz even around at that time? Doesn't make sense to me Dec 25th had nothing to do with the "unconquerable sun" until Aurlean made it a holiday in 274 AD. Why don't you find out how Christians calculated Dec 25th to be the Nativity of our Lord... it has nothing to do with appeasing pagans, I can assure you: [b][url="http://www.touchstonemag.com/archives/article.php?id=16-10-012-v"]http://www.touchstonemag.com/archives/arti...?id=16-10-012-v[/url][/b] You also said: [quote]There is no such thing as "Good Friday." Good Friday discredits Jesus and makes it appear that he lied when he said he would be "three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." Good Friday puts him in the heart of the earth only 1 day, not 3.[/quote] The phrase "One day and one night" is Hebrew idiom that means "one day" even if the whole 24 hours didn't pass. It's sort of like me starting a painting on Friday-evening and saying on Sunday-morning, "I've been working on this painting for three days!" It's not something to be taken as three literal 24-hour blocks. I know you'll say I'm lying but this is proven true in other parts of scripture: Genesis 42: 17-18 and 1 Samuel 30: 12-13 You see, this goes to show how easily one can be fooled by text alone. We are modern readers trying to understand ancient texts. We have to keep in mind the cultural understanding of phrases and words. Imagine if someone from the year 4,000 AD finds a note I wrote that says, "Whats up?" Heh, perhaps they'll think I was literally asking "What is up in the sky/ceiling/etc" but any modern person would know I'm actually asking "How are you doing." What if someone found a letter that says "Mike was paralyzed because of the accident and kicked the bucket three days later" hmm... how can Mike "kick the bucket" if he's paralyzed? Isn't that a contradiction? Of course not. "Kicking the bucket" is an English idiom for "dying." You only run into problems such as these when you interpret Scripture isolated from it's time and place. Fortunately for us who have been blessed with Catholicism, we have Scripture, Tradition, and the Magesterium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] and were did you copy and paste from ? your photolink account? Of course we cut and paste, we have seen those pics on many occasions already. Do you think your arguments are original? How about asking us some real questions: like how we pray, or how faith relates to economic questions, or what we believe and teach instead of coming trying to teach us about our religion and relationship with God?
