Remember that this is the same organization that manufactured fake relics and miracles for many centuries. This is the same group that massacred and tortured people for seeking the truth and having a mind of their own. This is the same group of deluded deceivers that makes more noise about a fictional book and movie than about child raping priests, aids, famine, or even the Holocaust! At what point does the Vatican's behavior go from the absurd to simply purely evil? </I><BR/><BR/>It is undeniable the New Testament is framed by symbolism and allegory. The same is evidenced in the Dead Sea Scrolls, Gnostic texts, biblical apocrypha, and other related texts. All ancient religious, mystical, and wisdom texts have been shrouded in mystery for millennia for one primary reason: The ability to understand their widely evidenced symbology was lost in antiquity. How do we finally solve these ages-old mysteries? To recast an often-used political adage: <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/sevenstarhand/preface.html" REL="nofollow">It’s [the] symbology, stupid!</A><BR/><BR/>It's amazing the Vatican still tries to insist the Gospels are <I>literal</I> truth. It is beyond obvious they are replete with ancient Hebrew symbology. Every miracle purported for Jesus has multiple direct symbolic parallels in the Old Testament, Apocalypse, Dead Sea Scrolls, and other symbolic narratives and traditions.<BR/><BR/>Likewise, the following Washington Post article ( <A HREF="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/04/AR2006030401369.html" REL="nofollow">The Book of Bart</A>) describes how many changes and embellishments were made to these texts over the centuries, unequivocally demonstrating they are not original, infallible, or truthful. <BR/><BR/> What then is the purpose of "faith" but to keep good people from seeking to understand truth and wisdom? It's no wonder the Vatican fears the truth more than anything else. Now comes justice, hot on its heels... (symbolism...)<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/sevenstarhand/summary.html" REL="nofollow">Revelations from the Apocalypse </A><BR/><BR/><I><B>Here is Wisdom!!</I></B>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
