Hello Lyn,
  I only wanted to ask you if the posting is what you believe. I know many
people who I discuss various myths and the website you mentioned is one of
them. But if you favor the info as closer to the truth than what the bible
has offered, that is of course your free choice. I never had a problem
believing the bible, only because I believe in God. I do believe God is
able to preserve His word to man through this book which has been long
argued over. Perhaps we can discuss further this most interesting and more
over, important topic. I would look forward to the opportunity, if you are
open for such.

 My posting this article does not necessarily imply either an endorsement
of
 or a disagreement with its contents, but I do think it's very
interesting.

 Truth is not some cheap thing and therefore, whatever it is, it's most
 likely NOT what we have been spoon-fed our entire life by giant
hierarchies
 of control (a.k.a. government, religion, media).  What's the difference
 between what you believe, and what you know?

 Caution:  May cause profound cognitive dissonance :)

 TRADITIONS AND DOCTRINES

 The things that we have always accepted as doctrine and have incorporated
 into our way of life as tradition, my in fact mean something quite
 different then we have been led to believe. Take a look at some of these
 things that have become traditions to us and see where we may have
actually
 overlooked a healing truth by taking these things literally at the
 insistence of our religious teachers. See what you think.

 WHAT'S WRONG WITH BAPTISM ?

 What's wrong with Baptism is the problem that the Bible itself realized
and
 thus warned us against it. We fail to understand it's true meaning. We
thus
 dip our head in water and think we are pleasing some God. God becomes
 excited because our head is wet.? Isn't that silly.?

 In Hebrews 6:1 the Bible admonishes us to get away from Baptism. The
reason
 is because by taking the symbol literally we miss the power of real
 Baptism. In Greek there are 5 stages of consciousness. The lowest which
is
 the lower mind is Earth, the next which is meditation is Water, the third
 which is the separation from thought is Air, the fourth which is the
 encounter with God is fire and the 5th is the new mind.

 Thus true Baptism is taking the Earth (head), into the water (meditation)
 rising into the air (separating from thought), being touched by fire
(God)
 and receiving a new mind. This is the Baptism that Christianity knows
 nothing about and why the Bible told them to stop. Notice the third stage
 is Air. That is why the Bible says we will rise and meet Jesus in the
Air.
 In Consciousness !

 So would true Baptism be the renewing of the mind by raising ones
 consciousness or getting ones head wet ?


 HOLY COMMUNION

 Before the time of Osiris the tribes took Holy Communion in a very
special
 way. The wisest person in the tribe was sacrificed for the common good.
 After the person was killed, the tribe ate him/her.

 They believed that by eating the flesh and blood of the wisest person,
they
 would become wise too. The advent of Osiris is credited with having ended
 communion in the form of cannibalism. Osiris was believed to rise from
 death in the form of wheat. They would make bread from the wheat and beer
 from the barley. Thus taking the flesh and blood of Osiris was by taking
 the bread and the beer.

 When this spread to Greece the God Osiris was replaced by the Greek God
 Dionysus who was the God of wine. Thus taking the flesh and blood of God
in
 communion was by taking the bread and wine which continues to this day.
 Of course we know that the New Testament was written in Greek. Now may we
 better understand the origin of the words of Jesus in John 6:53 Then
Jesus
 said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh
of
 the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.


 CIRCUMCISION

 There is a great deal of debate over the physical aspects of circumcision
 Regardless of the medical value, we must again fall back on 1 Cor 15:50
