An Act of God: Part III

Who made the Rules? Us or God?

REAL ANSWER: [Trick Question!] BOTH!

How can we determine which Rules are Bogus?, [Invented by men] and which Rules are Real? [Given us by God]. And in What Way is God's DIATHEKE covenant a FREE GIFT?

Jesus Christ Himself gives us a major clue that we have to be careful whose rules we follow in the following words: Matthew 15:8, 9 "This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me; But in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."

Jesus Christ, in the verses in Matthew just preceding this statement, used as an example a Pharasaic rule that allowed religious fanatics to give all their goods to the Church or Synagogue, while failing to provide for their family [father and mother]. Thus, with a man-made ruling, they broke God's commandment to "Honor thy father and thy mother..." Exodus 20:12

ERIN MILLER, like all preachers, avoided in her sermon those texts that might tend to disprove or make less obvious the point she wished to make, that the Covenant of Grace is God's real Covenant for the human race, and that it is impossible to please God through Good Works alone.

....And ERIN MILLER talked at great length about Jesus creating a Garden of Eden, and waiting until late Friday afternoon to introduce the newly created Adam and Eve to this ready-made garden, completed by Him before they were made.

HHowever, she completely skirted the obviously SUNTHEKE story of the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and of the forced eviction from the Garden of Eden!

........ERIN also skipped over the story of Noah's Ark, in which a wrathful God was willing to drown the entire human race, except for one family, Noah's Family. ..And all the animals except one male and one female of "Unclean Animals", and SEVEN of each animal fit to sacrifice or eat by Noah and his [up to that time] vegetarian family. ..And the SUN- THEKE covenant with Noah, that If he ate fat and blood, then he and his descendents would die at a much younger age than if they didn't!

 ERIN MILLER, whose rules of engagement only allow her to quote the Bible, Ellen G. White's books, and Strong's Concordance, would not be likely to know that Moses was a real Pharaoh of Egypt, known to the Egyptians as Akhenaten, the Heretic Pharaoh. ..But she did indeed mention the vast number of SUNTHEKE rules and regulations passed on to Israel under his authority, and using his name..... Rules that even Jesus quoted as being rediculous and arbitrary!

....BBecause ERIN MILLER's Church, the Seventh-day Adventist Church, has, like other safe, orhodox, Protestant and Catholic Churches, refused to consider the ample evidence that Jesus was an Essene Messiah, and therefore a real flesh and blood person, not a "God".- She is able to envision Jesus creating Adam and Eve, then turning His back on them when they made one mistake. ..The Essenes who knew Jesus personally, including the Essene who wrote NT Hebrews, knew Jesus was only a Son of God in the same manner as was David [see Psalms 2:6, 7].

Qumran, home of the Essenes.

......When ERIN said the Bible teaches that Jesus created Adam and Eve, she cannot really quote a Bible text where Jesus himself claimed to have done that. .....In the book of Hebrews, written by an Essene orator named Apollos [Paul's competator], that claim is made [Hebrews 1:2b], but it is, in the light of Apollos' known history of magic and exhaggeration, a questionable claim.

....Historically, Josephus writes of Apollos' attempt to get the walls of Jerusalem to fall down at his command, and a lot of people were killed by the Roman governor when this failed to happen. ...However, ERIN also knew her audience accepted Ellen G. White's writings making this same claim, so her story was good to go!

.....It was Constantine and his council of Nicea that made Jesus officially a God, some three hundred years after Christ's crucifixion. ...After that, Bible or no Bible, it was permissible to credit Jesus Christ with any feat of nature or magic that God or "the gods" had ever done.

.....This illustration from page 169 of "Jesus, the Evidence" by Ian Wilson, Harpur, 1988, shows the carving on the so-called "Dogmatic Sarcophagus" from San Paolo fuori le Mura, Rome. ..The caption states: "This was probably carved as a set-piece refutation of the ideas of Arias. ......Jesus is here represented beardless with Adam and Eve, thereby suggesting he was present at the time of Creation. ...Separately he, with God the Father, and God the Holy Spirit, are depicted as three identical, bearded old men. Such concepts are worlds away from the original Jewish thinking concerning Jesus."

Drawing of the Qumran Essene Monastery
 ERIN MILLER is stuck with trying to explain all these various things with theological "tools" that went out of date soon after Ellen White died in 1915. ...And she cannot now use the new discoveries at Qumran, where Jesus received his early training, nor the new Bible Codes generated by this new knowledge until major Church authorities give her a nod that she can do so.

......The background of this page is from a Sumerian or Assyrian monument in which the Goddess Inanna, the Warrior Goddess, is rewarding one of her generals for his victory over the vanquished army of her human adversaries. To be sure these were SUNTHEKE covenants that Inanna and the other Anunaki or Elohim had with their human subjects....... If indeed they failed to meet their grain quotas, or raise enough prime beef cattle to keep the gods happy, they paid for their audacity. ...Often with their lives!

mmThe truth of the matter is, that human beings were originally created to be slaves for the gods! ...And the story of their creation is right there for everyone to read now that vast libraries of cuneiform clay tablets and pictures from many superbly carved cylinder picture seals are now available.

.....That's the bad news. ..It was one of these warrior gods, Ra/Marduk, that the Hebrew scribes used to "invent" the personality and character of Yahweh. ....And this same persona was used by Mohammed to invent "Allah". That's even worse news, because although Ra/Marduk died, or went some- where else, the Arabs are keeping this arbitrary, bloodthirsty, terrorist god alive...... In spirit if not in reality!.......Hacking off people's heads for His pleasure and enjoyment!

....But the GOOD NEWS is that ERIN MILLER is completely right about the DIATHEKE covenant that was set up not 6000 years ago, but 2000 years ago.... It was indeed planned in a Council of the Anunaki or Elohim just previous to the Age of Pisces. ...And it was at that time that the sacrifice by crucifixion of Jesus Christ was planned, as a means of winning the cruel Romans and their Empire to a kindler, gentler religious ethic.

......The Father God of Jesus Christ became Lord Shiva, whose DIATHEKE covenant we are now all under in the New Age!

.....The new information now available on the Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, and Babylonians, and their gods and religious beliefs has been available to scholars for 150 years or longer...... But the information is piecemeal and found in dusty tomes in University libraries. ...........Read only by archaeologists, researchers, and a few religious critics.

.....But a few years ago a popular Jewish researcher and author named Zechariah Sitchin started collating this information and putting out books about it in a cheap, well-illustrated, paper-back format. ......There are now many of these books by Sitchin, two of which are pictured above....... They are published by Avon books, and can often be found in the New Age section of major bookstores.
