Israel is amazing

Walking where Jesus walked

Did you also go to Tel Aviv?

Flew into Tel Aviv, drove by it, through it, on the way to other places. Didn't spend much time there, but maybe next time. Looks interesting. I hopped on the train and went straight to Jerusalem when I got there.

Yesterday's dogma is today's heresy

And if you study basic history, the Roman Catholic church being "pagan" shouldn't be eye opening

Judaism might be more pagan than Catholicism, there's elements of various Near Eastern religions in it, plus if you saw their ceremonies without context, you'd call them satanic

Various religions have took from each other, three thousand years ago, the world religion was Manicheism which also had elements of early Christianity and various religions, St. Augustine was a manicheist in his youth

What you're talking about and what you want to know.

Very interesting. Go deeper if you can please.

So this probably will be an on going response in multiple posts as I remember and think of new angles.

I generally tried to avoid the Roman Catholic sites because I already knew what to expect. But I did choose to go on this one day tour around Nazareth, Capernaum, the Galilee, and the West Bank which was full of stops at Roman Catholic sites that I didn't see listed on their tour itinerary. So I can talk about the paganism around these places.

I already mentioned the Basilica of the Annunciation, which is a shrine to Mary. Right next to it is another one that is supposed to be dedicated to Joseph. We can talk about the veneration of the dead the Roman Catholics love to do which stems back to ancient paganism. So basically in the Annunciation church they have a cave that they've built a church structure around and they say it's where Mary lived in Nazareth.

How they figure that they know that, I have no clue. Anyway, they also have a larger church next to it dedicated to "Mary" with all of the murals.

That's not Mary. That's just the repackaged "Inanna/Ishtar/Venus/Aphrodite" Those Romans are wild thinking they can pass off these old gods and godesses as Christian. Got the whole "child molester" confessional box in the back of the church too. Just creepy.

But then add to the fact Roman Catholics love to venerate dead saints, and a majority of the time it's Mary to the goddess worship lovers. Mary never told you to try to contact her. That's demons.

It stems back to the Amorites and their worship of the Rephaim. The "gods" from before the Flood. That tradition got passed through millenia (even through the Greeks and Romans as their demigods) and now you have people that find nothing wrong with this paganism. Pouring out libations to their ancestors (which are really demons, because your ancestors don't hear you in the other realm). Demons are using this to gain access to your life.


Also in Nazareth there was this gift shop the tour company had a forced stop at which was full of little Roman Catholic idols. Yeah, they didn't do anything but reinforce the idea that they are trying to pass off paganism as Christianity.

Exodus 20:4

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

Yeah my main point was to go to the Mount of Olives, but I didn't get to because I didn't have enough time (had to come back for work). I stayed in Jerusalem though and loved it, very nice city getting a lot of modern construction. I did get to see the West Bank. I visited Capernaum, Nazareth, Sea of Galilee area. Ate fish caught in the Sea. I saw Mount Tabor. The Golan Heights. Coming back into Jerusalem from Jericho there's a good view of the Temple Mount area. I stayed about 1/2 mile away from the Temple Mount.

A lot of security everywhere. Military walking armed in a lot of places. Makes you feel safe though.

thats really cool you got to see all of that

also another way to interpret Exodus 20:4

is in reference to Esaus wives which control him through objects

remember Jacob had images of "gods"(elohim) amongst Rachel and Leah

also the mystery of mary is better explained on the orthodox side

Israeli women?

I'm disappointed at the fact that this was my first thought. I need to do better. I had this penpal from there and she legit looked like a curly haired goddess.

My second thought was whether or not the language was as hard as it looked. @OP, can you speak/read/write hebrew?

 

[The Infamous]

Did you visit any of the Palestinian territories?

 

[Pure Water]

You convert?

I bought a book right before I went over there, well actually a few, but I'm definitely trying to learn now. A good number of people over there understand English.

Women actually enjoy helping you out when you don't know the language.

I was in the West Bank. Yes I did.

I believe in salvation through Yeshua Hamashiach, GOD's Son. That's never changed.

But you learn a lot immersing yourself in the culture of the Saviour.
