: I have one response to your entire issue of Christianity having
: its basis in paganism. I'm afraid that you have mistaken true
: Christianity with this version taught by our European brothers.
: The history of Christianity does not begin in Egypt or with any
: Egyptian god. If it did, would not the Messiah be from Egypt and
: would not his original followers been Egyptian. I can understand
: your disbelief in a religion that as we see it today is filled
: with commercialism and socialism yet little spiritualism. However, I still point out that especially in America, what we see is the result of a group of people distorting Christianity and the Holy Bible to service their purpose which is total power. Many of those who taught Christianity in America were those who practiced such things as brutal slavery, rape, murder, fornication, theft and a list of other immoral sins. Never once did the Messiah pray to any wooden cross or statue. He prayed to Elohim, the Creator. Christians should take his example but yet few do. My only request is that before you label any religion or denounce any belief, know more about its origin and how it is supposed to be followed. Then you will see what falls into paganism. And remember that El-Elyon is everywhere. So whether a Christian bows with their face to the ground or holds it high to the sky, our God, Elohim is their. His spirit is everywhere.
