This is a really tough one, I am finding this so hard to deal with and to understand that if true, just how much I have been sold down the line, just complete hook, line and sinker!
So in the creation of the Christian ideal, baptism is one of those lies thrown into the mix to get everyone who is decieved following the wrong practice! Cut out the circumcision (pun intended) according to Paul (though he was circumcised) and just believe, accept Jesus into your heart and be baptized, therefore combining accepting the wrong name, scaring people into believing half truths, I am the way - in other words folowingJesus - the wrong name is what you follow and you don't get circumcized!
I am trying so hard to piece this all together and it really does need a complete expose of the method of the Christian creation. I am part way there because of the Flavian Dynasty video I posted here, I expect you have seen that! Seems like the Roman political system has their share of the guilt here along with their creation of the Roman Catholic church and their share in creating Christianity!
I keep convincing myself that Paul was part of that system and encouraged to get people away from the Jewish ideals so as to infiltrate and cover up the truth!
Think for a moment of John the Baptist - well here is a shining example - a forerunner of their Jesus, Jesus baptized by John the Baptist. This is Christian ideology and one that I so early followed. I was certainly moving in that direction! All the new testament is passed off as scripture, but of course I am starting to understand that it is not, only canonised by the Roman Catholic church for what that is worth! It means nothing, just a method of giving yourself a diploma!
The immensity of the lies is just astounding and the more I find, the more I keep finding, but I need to keep asking questions and more questions. Sorry, but that is what will help me and if you can direct me to futher reading about the creation of christianity, that would help - to have a resource where you can find all in one place.
Now as a matter of greater urgency on my part, I have switched out of my ITG study into Questioning Paul and I suspect many answers will be found there.
A section for Questioning Christianty would certainly fit well on this forum, I am convinced of that and it is more than just Paul and questions to him. Its also the Flavians, Josephus, Roman dictators, Catholic Church and political influences and protection of business and wealth that has created such corruption of God's word to man's own ends! The wholesale bunch of lies needs to be found in one place, like a one stop shop!
So finally, Baptism really means to immerse, well I am immersed in this study and immersed in an effort to find the truth and lies that are out there. There is aways someone out there to knock you off your pedestal, but this time I am beginning to see my way through the smoke and mirrors effort of Christianity!
Thank you so much for your time to answer me James, I really do appreciate your efforts and I will pop an e-mail over to you.
