In Daniel chapter 2,a heathen king,Nebuchadnezzar,had a nightmare and only Daniel could tell him the dream AND its interpretation(remember that one next time you waste your money on a Psychic!)which was that Babylon would be suceded by 3 more empires and the last Pagan,then Papal Rome would be ‘diverse from all the others.” An egg laying Dragon!
Adon Taft makes it sound like ‘all religions are equal” and worse,”Christianity evolved from Judaism.”Both are lies and can easily be proven,biblically and historically.
Christianity is an assumed faith.I know,because I was there.Christians assume that Christianity(aka: Roman Catholicism+Orthodoxy pre 1054 spilt)came from Judaism.It did not.
That “All roads lead to Rome” ,will be found to be true when one traces every symbol and doctrine of “Christianity.” In fact the earliest extant church historian Euesebius recorded that it began in 135 C.E. when the Romans deposed the Netzarim(corrupted to “Nazarene”) Jewish Paqid(“leader”) Yehudah HaTzaddik and DISPLACED him with their own Roman gentile bishop Marcus.
After that,taking over Jerusalem,booting all Jews out,the Romans renamed the area “Syria/Palestinia”,the start of the current problem in Israel!In other words,it wasn’t named “Palestine” until after 135 CE.
It was the early church father and heretic Marcion who invented the terms ‘Old Testament”" and “New Testament” – these displacement theology terms show up the Roman Constantine church’s agenda as far as the Jews were/are concerned.Just take a look at “The Constatine Creed” for example and history.
Contrary to what Christians have been led to believe “The Old Testament” and “The New Testament” (if I can borrow those awful terms for now)do not agree.The New Testament consists of corrupted stories handed down by Hellenized Jews(which the Netzarim never accepted and as a result were eradicated by Constantine by 333 CE) and any examination of the Greek proves it(there are thousands of variations in the manuscript texts!).Plus,when one puts the account back in its Hebraic context and examines it in the light of Torah and Tanakh(in Hebrew -NOT English),Orthodox Judaism,Hallachah and Hebrew and Aramaic(meaning: get under the Greek),plus early historical datat,the numerous Christian redactions stick out like a sore thumb!
Not the least of which is that the real 1st century “rabbi from Natzrat(Nazareth in Greek):,was a Pharisee Jew named Yehoshua,Yeshua in Aramaic,a man,a far cry from the man g-d image created by the church 100+ yrs later!
Easter(Eostre/Ashtarte) is a Babylonian pagan festival of an egg-laying rabbit,not to forget the Hellenist/Roman man g_d image created by the church,largely from Mithraism and other ‘mystery religions prevalent at the time along with Greco/Roman sun g-d worship.Same goes for Xmas and other “christian” festivals.This information can easily be found anywhere online.
Suffice to say that while Christianity(ca 135 CE) and Islam(ca 700 CE) did ‘usurp’ some elements of Judaism,if you dig deep enough,ie: pre 135,you get ONLY “Judaism!”
