Bible story: Abraham's Sacrifice of his son Isaac.

When Isaac became a young boy, God spoke to Abraham and commanded him to take his son to Mount Moriah and offer him as a sacrifice to God. This was Gods test of Abrahams faith. Abraham loved his son very much, but did not hesitate to follow Gods words for he was a man whose faith in God was strong.

As Abraham and his son reached the place where the sacrifice was to be performed, Isaac said to his father, "Father, where is the lamb that is to be sacrificed?" Abraham replied, "My son, God will provide the lamb."

It is not known how eventually Abraham told his son that he was to be the sacrifice, but Isaac laid on the sacrificial place ready to be sacrificed for god.

As Abraham was taking out his knife, his hands were trembling. He was about to sacrifice his son when heard the voice of God saying, "Abraham, Stop! Do not hurt your son. You have proven your faith and shown how much you love Me by willing to sacrifice your son for Me. Therefore, I shall bless you and your family, and through you, I shall bless all the nations on earth."

Hitchens: Religion is infantile (pray to a wall via proxy from $2/day)

Hitchens absolutely mopped the floor with rabbi Wolpe. Hitchens was landing haymaker after haymaker, while Wolpe retreated to many tired old atheism myths and claims about the origin of morality. Wolpe didnt put up much of a fight. In fact, he nearly conceded that God and religion are man-made SEVERAL times, and Hitchens had to encourage him to take back his words on more than one occasion.

Was Moses high on Mount Sinai?

JERUSALEM - When Moses brought the Ten Commandments down from Mount Sinai, he may have been high on a hallucinogenic plant, according to a new study by an Israeli psychology professor.

Writing in the British philosophy journal Time and Mind, Benny Shanon of Jerusalem’s Hebrew University said two plants in the Sinai desert contain the same psychoactive molecules as those found in plants from which the powerful Amazonian hallucinogenic brew ayahuasca is prepared.

The thunder, lightning and blaring of a trumpet which the Book of Exodus says emanated from Mount Sinai could just have been the imaginings of a people in an “altered state of awareness,” Shanon hypothesized.

“In advanced forms of ayahuasca inebriation, the seeing of light is accompanied by profound religious and spiritual feelings,” Shanon wrote.

“On such occasions, one often feels that in seeing the light, one is encountering the ground of all Being ... many identify this power as God.”

Shanon wrote that he was very familiar with the affects of the ayahuasca plant, having “partaken of the ... brew about 160 times in various locales and contexts.”

Mayan Calendar & Vatican Secret behind years 2012-2090

Time Masters of the New World Order: Messiah, 666 and MAYA calendar system.
Maya were destroyed by Christian Church only because of the Vatican calendar system secret.

Let us have a look at the secret plans behind what is known as the different Jewish (Hebrew) and Christian calendars of our times. Both are embedded into the same keen system based on the number of verses of the Torah: (please read at http://otaku.onlinehome.de/gematria.html)











The current Jewish calendar was founded by Rabbi Hillel II circa 360 AD. ITS ALLEGED BEGINNING AT 3761 BC IS AT THE CENTER OF ENTIRE TIME MASTER SYSTEM. Often Hillel's introduction date of his calendar is cited exactly as 358 or 359 and we learned in the introduction of this entire article that 358 is the Gematria value of Meshiach (MSX).

In 322-323 AD the building of St. Peter in Vatican had begun. St. Peter's domicile of the Pope and so called "Throne" of it has been finished in 1666 AD (further, facade and elliptical court in front of St. Peter were designed in1656 by Bernini, who was the son of a mason from Florence that became a Masonic center later).

The alignment of the calendars and the building of St. Peter tell us, that both RELIGIONS AND CULTURES ARE HANDLED FROM THE SAME SECRET PEOPLE THAT MAY BE CALLED TIME MASTERS or TIME LORDS. Vatican, Church and Rabbi worked together. Note that the current Jewish calendar was put in use after they started to build St. Peter, and also after they started to use AD count which is linked to the start date of the Jewish calendar ("creation of world"). Confusing if asked what was first. Maybe Sepp Rothwangl gives an answer. He claims that AD count was oriented towards a celestial event (big planetary conjunction) around the year 2000 AD. If he's right then according to the Time Master System here the Jewish system was aligned to that also.

The truth is that the measure which connects all calendars, (namely the Torah), was in the Genesis which is known as a Jewish book. However, the oldest copy of the Torah stems from around 1000 AD. That's ~ 700 years later!

After all, such a big work of conspiracy could not be kept secret without enormous efforts to eradicate any "unauthorized" knowledge.

In any means here are pertinent signs that "the Church" (or rather the secret company of the world) knew (or knows) these secrets of the Torah. But is it all only about these numbers and circles or the whole occult mechanism? Abused the Church the power of that mechanism? What if such occult knowledge would come out? In 1551 the church published the "arbitrary and not inspired" verse numbering for "The Bible" that, as the Church alleged, did not have any verse divisions until that time. But we know the Codex Leningradensis since ~1008 AD showed almost the same verse divisions already ~540 years earlier. What if this came out? Only about ten years later, in 1562 the Spanish friar Bishop Diego De Landa in ordinary of the Church usurped Yucatan, declared himself as the "Archbishop" of that city and burned any of the Maya scriptures that he could find there. Bishop Diego De Landa acted like he was not able to understand the Maya script but he still burned them. Why? He claimed they were evil but how he could know it without understanding them? Bishop Diego De Landa also killed a lot of Maya in a very brutal way. Why did he kill them? Why so brutal? Because brutality is a scare tactics and therein is the answer: today we know the Maya have had superb astronomical skills and high developed calendar systems. Well, with such knowledge one who has some clue could easily decipher the Torah. In comparison, doesn't the practice of burning a witch (true definition: the wise) who was skilled in the occult seem not just arbitrary but also very conspiratively reasoned from that point of view? The Maya priests for sure have been much cleverer and much more educated than we are today! So they "deserved" a special treatment. Perhaps the behavior of the Church was a reason why the Codex Leningradensis was hidden in private ownership in Russia during the centuries. If the Church had got touch on it, they would have destroyed it to raise the chance for their lies to look as truth longer. - Curiously just twenty years later Pope Gregory the 13th of Rome made the hyped reform of the just slightly too rapidly aging Julian calendar, that from then on was called the Gregorian calendar and because of it's "inspired quality" should replace any other Calendar around. Not to forget that certain of these other Calendars had delicate astronomical and occult knowledge visible in them, while the Julian and the new "better" one with the camouflaged pagan astrological rituals of the Church almost has not. So in the history of the truth, the 15-hundreds have been truly a century of the Devil. Andreas G. Szabó

Most of this is about Christianity.

"Scientology is a Racket and a Con-Job" by Christopher Hitchens

Christopher Hitchens is an academic whose expertise is debating and disputing controversial religious, philosophical and political issues.
Although famously anti-religious, Hitchins told an interviewer that he thinks all educated people should have knowledge of the Bible. He also confirmed that his children have been instructed in religious history.
However, in this brief clip he reveals his distain for Scientology by describing it as a “Racket” and a “Con-Job”.

THE ORIGINS OF CHRISTIANITY, ISLAM & JUDAISM (The Story of Abraham, Sarah, Isaac & Ishmael)

In light of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, Pentagon, USS Cole, U.S. Embassies, etc., it is important to have a basic understanding of the origins of Christianity, Islam and Judaism to place the conflict in perspective. However, as will be discussed in this article, the amazing irony is that all of these religions were born of a single man and share some common beliefs. It is incomprehensible that such violent and deadly conflicts exist between religions born from common ground. But, that is the history of all religions: factions divide and fight.

Are there any truths in the Bible? The Koran (Qur'ân)? The Holy Scriptures of Judaism? While these writings are obviously filled with mythology, fabrications and exaggerations - it is likely that there is an element of truth in many stories with respect to some people and events. Unfortunately, many of these stories have been stretched and embellished to the point of being laughable (See Science, Truth and the Church and Thomas Paine's "Age of Reason".) However, the fact that references to the story of Abraham, Sarah, Isaac & Ishmael appear in all three of these religious documents lends some credibility to portions of the historical account. One can build a somewhat cohesive overlap between the Bible, the Koran and the Holy Scriptures of Judaism, with respect to their lineage and origins of belief.

"As you will see, the origins of these three religions are a result
of family feuds, tribal divisions, mistresses and concubines."

Circa 2100 B.C to 1500 B.C. (depending on biblical and archaeological disputes): The story begins with Abraham (the Bible refers to him as Abram and later Abraham, Koran refers to him as Ibrahim). Abraham was supposedly chosen by God to spread his word and rule a great nation. Abraham was married to Sarai (or Sarah). However, Sarah was barren and unable to have a child to lead the great nation. So, she told Abraham to have sex with their Egyptian servant Hagar in an attempt to have a child. Hagar conceived and Ishmael was born. However, later Sarah did ended up having a son with her husband Abraham. This son of the marriage was Isaac.

The Dilemma: Which Son Carries the Word of God?

Abraham & Hagar
(Abraham's mistress, an Egyptian servant)

Son: Ishmael

-----------------------------------------------------

Abraham & Sarah
(Abraham's wife)

Son: Isaac

--> Isaac's Son: Jacob

Jews, Christians and Muslims all consider themselves as Abraham's spiritual offspring. However, the division of Abraham's message into separate religions was a direct result of the two sons - one born in marriage to Sarah, the other to the Egyptian servant Hagar. Muslims claim the first born son, Ishmael, was an apostle and prophet, and was the legitimate successor. Christians and Jews believe it can only be the son resulting from conception within the marriage, or Isaac. Jews believe further that their divine message comes not only from Isaac, but from Isaac's son Jacob.

According to all 3 scriptures (the Bible, the Koran and the Holy Scriptures of Judaism), God calls upon Abraham to sacrifice his son as the greatest test of faith. However, in the Christian and Jewish Bibles, the son chosen to sacrifice was Isaac. Muslims believe it was Ishmael. (Note: Neither son was actually sacrificed because God was just practicing a cruel test. In the end, a ram was sacrificed.)

From these original family feuds, the division between the religions continued to deepen. Christians follow the teachings of Moses, Jesus and Abraham. In Islamic religion, Muslims believe the Prophet Muhammad in the seventh century carried the true word. They believed the teachings of Moses and Jesus to be distortions of the truth for which Muhammad was the remedy. Jews continued their split from Christianity by not accepting the divinity of Jesus as "the son of God". They believe God is spiritual, not flesh, and has no human attributes. Jews also do not believe in original sin nor heaven and hell.

"Again, it is amazing that the hatred and violence we see today
between Muslims, Christians and Jews were born of the
same teachings from a man called Abraham."

Side Notes: Sex: The twisted sexual story of Abraham, Sarah and their slave mistress Hagar is an interesting one. However, there's more. Prior to having Isaac and Ishmael, Abraham and Sarah traveled to Egypt. Sarah was very beautiful and Abraham feared that the Pharaoh may kill him to take his wife. So, Abraham told Sarah to say that she was Abraham's sister to save himself! The Pharaoh was interested in Sarah and she became one of his concubines (or wives). Later the Pharaoh discovered the deception and banished them both from Egypt. Sounds like a juicy smut novel, but the Bible is full of this type of stuff!

Age: We are told that Abraham was 90 years old when Ishmael was born and 100 years old when Isaac was born. Isn't it doubtful that a man of this age could be so successful spreading his seed?! Even more questionable, Sarah was supposedly 90 years old when she gave birth to Isaac! Now, I'm sure you find this as hard to believe as I do!? According to the Bible, even "Abraham fell facedown; he laughed and said to himself, "Will a son be born to a man a hundred years old? Will Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?" [Genesis 17:17]. Also, Sarah "laughed to herself as she thought, "After I am worn out and my master is old, will I now have this pleasure?"

Populations: Today, the tribal division that resulted from Abraham's sons has resulted in:

• 1 billion Christians,
• 1.2 billion Muslims, and
• Nearly 15 million Jews.
