I never rely on one source of information but study many other sources in order to reach conclusions. The bible is more to do with faith rather than fact - the same story blueprint is found in many other faiths/religions throughout the ages and in particular, the story of Jesus borrowed from one religion to another.
There are those who believe every single word of the bible without question, the opposite to critical thinking, in my opinion.
Religion has been used to fantastic effect over thousands of years to fuel and exploit emotions like fear and guilt, and the feeling of being ‘unworthy’. This has encouraged people to hand over their right to think and feel to a Bible and a priest because they have not had the confidence or self-belief to realise that they have a right, and an infinite gift, to make their own decisions.
As the power of religion has waned in the face of ‘science’, politics, and economics, these have become the new religions with new books and priests –scientists, politicians, economists –to whom we can concede our right to think and feel. We are encouraged to deny our own infinite potential. We are “born sinners”, apparently, and the mass of humanity is described as the “common people” or “the ordinary man and woman in the street”, or when politicians describe the population as “our people”, as if we are children who must be looked after by their higher intelligence.
Dogmas take endless forms and when you can persuade different people to hold opposing dogmas, the manipulation of conflict and control through ‘divide and rule’ becomes easy.
To a manipulator, Judaism is just as useful as Christianity and Islam; the political ‘Left’ is just as important as the political ‘Right’. You need two dogmas to play off against each other. The most effective dogmas over thousands of years have been the religions.
One generation takes on a narrow view of life and themselves (a religion) and imposes it on their children, who then do the same to their children, and so it goes on into the modern world.
The two leading weapons used by religions are the emotions: fear and guilt. They have been used to suppress the human mind and to destroy its sense of self-worth, thus creating a physical reality to match.
Religions are the same thought pattern manifesting under different names –the thought pattern called control. Even the origins of their myths, stories and ceremonies are invariably the same because they all originate from the same source!
Hebrew and Christian religions are the inventions of those who controlled the underground stream of secret knowledge. Even the ritual garbs are the same in so many ways. What do Jewish people wear? Skull caps. What does the Pope wear? A skull cap. This is symbolic of the way priests in the mystery schools used to shave the backs of their heads. The more formal headgear and ritual of Judaism and Christianity are also very similar because they originate from the same source and the Pope’s mitre is the fish head symbol of Nimrod.
To complete the trio, along came the skull-cap-wearing Muslims and the creed of Islam, inspired by the ‘Prophet’ Mahomet (Mohammed) when he had a ‘vision’ in the year 612. Once more we find that Islam’s roots are in Christianity and Judaism and therefore Babylon.
Muslims see Islam as an updated continuation of the Judeo-Christian stream and they, too, trace their ancestry back to Abraham, who is said to have emerged from the Sumerian city of Ur and headed for Egypt.
They believe that Abraham built the Kaaba, the sacred shrine at Mecca, and the focus of pilgrimage for Muslims all over the world. But it was in fact originally a Pagan temple of goddess (Semiramis) worship featuring the famous Black Stone.
W. Wynn Westcott, founder of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, wrote in his work, The Magical Mason , that the Black Stone supposed to have been brought to Mecca by Abraham, was used originally for ancient Pagan ritual.
Again you see Brotherhood symbolism in this ‘new’ religion. The symbols of the crescent and the curved sword, the scimitar, are identified with the Moon and Venus, the Morning Star, the term used for Lucifer. Venus was also a title for Queen Semiramis.
Muslims have the idea that Moses, King David and Jesus were divine prophets sent by the one All Mighty God, when in fact all three are Brotherhood inventions. The holy book, the Koran, which was supposed to be inspired by God, mentions Jesus in 93 verses and treats him as a living person. Islam was created by the same Brotherhood networks as the Christian religions, to further imprison, divide and rule.
Mohammed was the last prophet and therefore, the Muslims believe, the most valid. As such, all Christians and Jews should convert to Islam, the orthodox Muslims demand.
