Mythical Jesus. Who is he? He is the son spawned             by Paganism, Gnosticism and the corrupt Christian clergy. He is prophesied as Armyllis in Jewish writings which predate the advent of Christ.  Paul named him the Son of Perdition and the other Jesus (II Cor. 11:4). He is called Dajaal in the Islamic Hadith. What is Paganism? Gnosticism? What are the corruptions that the Christian clergy have added to the Revelation of Jesus Christ? Exactly who was Jesus? How did Paganism and Gnosticism corrupt his teachings? The answers to these questions must be known so that the Return of Jesus is not missed. The world waits for him with great expectation yet most people will not know him, because they do not know the answers to these questions.

      Paganism is the worship of anything on the earth, under the earth, in the earth or in the heavens other than the Invisible God. It is worship of those things created by the Creator or those things created by the imaginations of humankind. It comes in the form of the religions of ancient Babylon, Greece, and Rome which include the worship of trinitarian god-heads such as Baal.  The trinitarian god Baal was born shortly following the great flood. The great-grandson of Noah, Nimrod, a "mighty hunter before the Lord" (Gen. 10:9), called Lucifer by Isaiah (14:12) and his wife Semiramis conceived and birthed the first trinity known to man. Baal is just one of the many names given to the trinitarian god established by them.

 At first Nimrod was a great defender of the religion of the Invisible God as revealed by Adam until he established his empire Babylon. Then the people begged Nimrod to free them from the laws of the Invisible God. Nimrod answered their plea and reinstated the worship of the sun, moon and stars. Due to the efforts of Shem, the High Priest Melchizedek, Nimrod was put to death for this crime.

      Following the death of Nimrod, Semiramis became pregnant and told the Babylonians her womb was inhabited by the spirit of her dead husband. When born, the child was considered to be Nimrod incarnate and was named Bar-Nin which means "son of Nimrod." Bar-Nin inherited the throne of Babylon as the High Priest of the Babylonian Mystery Religion. Nimrod was then worshipped as God, in the place of God. Semiramis instituted the first trinity of God the Father (Nimrod), God the Son (Bar-Nin), and God the Holy Ghost (the habitation of Nimrod's spirit in Semiramis' womb). She was worshipped as the Holy Mother as the Virgin Mary is revered today. Her trinitarian religion was accepted and practiced throughout Nimrod's Empire and eventually spread to other parts of the world (Hislop, 1959).

      Where language varied the trinity was known by different names. For example, in Egypt Semiramis was known as Isis, Nimrod was known as Osiris and Bar-Nin was known as Horus. In Mesopotamia Semiramis was known as Ishtar, Nimrod was known as Saturn (from where we get the name of Satan) and Bar-Nin was known as Mardouk. Other names include Attis (Nimrod) and Cybele (Semiramis) in Phyrgia. Nimrod was also called Atlas, Apollo, Zernebogus and Mithras. In Greece and Rome these three gods were multiplied into even more gods. There was now a god to represent individually each of their attributes. For example, when Semiramis was beautiful she was know as Venus or Aphrodite. When she was a hunter she was known as Diana. When she was angry she was known as Juno. When Nimrod was drunk he was called Bacchus. When he was strong he was known as Zeus. When Bar-Nin was a warrior he was known as Mars, etc.

      The throne of Nimrod still exists and is occupied today. It passed down through many generations from Nimrod to Nebuchadnezzar, the Babylonian king who conquered Jerusalem, destroyed the Jewish temple built by Solomon, and who carried the Jews into exile. Later, in 538 B.C., Cyrus the Great, a defender of the true religion of the Invisible God, conquered Babylon. The throne of Satan was removed from Babylon at that time. It was relocated in Pergamum in Asia Minor, where the king of Pergamum took his seat upon Satan's throne and donned the accompanying robes. At his death in 133 B.C., Attalus III, king of Pergamum, willed the throne to Rome. However, it was not until 63 B.C. that anyone recognized the potential power of claiming the throne for himself. It was Julius Caesar, claiming to be a descendant of Venus (Semiramis) and rightful heir to the throne, who put on the robes in 63 B.C. Following Julius Caesar every Roman emperor wore the robes and sat on the throne of Satan. In 376 A.D. the Roman Emperor Gratian, a true Christian, refused to put on the robes of Satan and left the throne unoccupied. It was Damasas, Pope of the Catholic Church, who could not resist the power and prestige that this throne offered. In 378 A.D. he put on the robes and took his seat as the High Priest of the Babylonian Mystery Religion. This position has been held by  each succeeding Pope after him. Rome is now the seat of Babylonian Paganism. What allowed such corruption to enter into Christianity?

      The one who first introduced aspects of Paganism and superimposed them upon Christianity was Simon the Magus. He did this at the time of the apostles. The apostles called him a deceiver and fled from his presence, avoiding him whenever they could. They wrote strongly against his teachings. What Simon the Magus preached is known as Gnosticism. It overtook Christianity.

      Gnosticism spread quickly. It was easy for pagans to accept. Christianity became a mirror image of their old religion once Simon paganized it.  All a pagan needed do in order to become Christian was change the names of his gods, not his beliefs. John called these people (Gnostics) antichrists. The pagan concepts Simon introduced to Christianity include the Immaculate Conception, the physical Resurrection, the incarnate god-man and the Trinity.

     It was the falsified form of Christianity which spread throughout Europe, but not without opposition. Debates were common in the streets until the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. True Christianity was destroyed at this council when the Nicaean Formula: "God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost," became Roman law. Opposition to the new law brought consequences of banishment and death. Thus the debate ended. It was a high crime to practice true Christianity, the worship of the One Invisible God wherein Jesus the Christ was believed to be a Manifestation (teacher of mankind) sent from God with a message for the people. It was Gnosticism and its incarnate god-man which triumphed. Christianity today is the practice of Gnosticism with all of its accompanying mythologies.

          What a dangerous presumption to believe mythology is dead! Mythology is alive, well and thriving. One-third of the world is engaged in Gnosticism. The followers of Mythical Jesus will not recognize Jesus when he returns because their eyes have been blinded by the Gnostic myth. They do not realize that Jesus was a real man who fulfilled prophecy and not preconceptions. According to John Eisler (1931):

  ...it may cause somewhat of a startling shock to those whom Bernard Shaw has pertinently called Christian idolaters, defenders of an idolatrous or iconolatrous worship of the Christ [Trinitarians]--to people, that is, who are only concerned with the traditional pictures and statues of Jesus and the pretty stories attached to him....If you venture to wonder how Christ looked or what size he stood in his shoes or even if you tell any part of his story in the vivid terms of modern colloquial slang, you will produce an extraordinary dismay and horror among the iconolaters [worshipers of Jesus as God]. You will have made the picture come out of its frame, the statue descend from its pedestal, the story become real, with all the incalculable consequences that may flow from this terrifying miracle. It is at such moments that you realize that the iconolaters have never for a moment conceived Jesus as a real person, who meant what he said, as a fact, as a force like electricity, only needing the invention of suitable political machinery to be applied to the affairs of mankind with revolutionary effect. Thus it is not disbelief that is dangerous in our society; it is [blind] belief." (emphasis added)

      Most Christians today are blind to the fact that Jesus was a real man, born of a woman, who gave mankind a message from God heralding His Kingdom on earth. They do not know Jesus of Nazareth. They place their hope in Mythical Jesus and his accompanying Mystery Religion. They will not recognize Jesus on his Return. They do not want to miss him, but they will not know him because they do not know the difference between Mythical Jesus and Jesus the Lamb.

 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also  which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. (Rev. 1:7, KJV) =================================================================
