--- Quote from: Raulmarrio2000 on December 09, 2007, 03:11:14 AM ---I honestly don't believe the NT was forged by pagan Romans. But I had always believed that the Romans who abolished Semicha were pagan. Yesterday I learned that they had already converted to Christianity. Just another attack to Judaism in Christian history. The lack of Semicha is the cause there is still no recognised Sanhedrim. I hope Rambam's opinion is right and the New Sanhedrin can work and save Israel.

There is definitely a Roman influence later in Christianity when Christianity became the official religion of the empire in the 4th Century. The Romans had borrowed heavily from the Babylonian religious system and introduced all kinds of pagan rights into Christianity. This does not mean they invented it, they merely corrupted it later. Christmas and Easter are originally pagan holidays. Christmas to celebrate the Winter Solstice and the coming of longer days and renewal. Easter honours the fertility goddess Ishtar. Symbolized by easter eggs and rabbits. The origin of the Babylonian system is interesting and can be traced back to Nimrod and his Wife.
--- Quote ---Young's concordance states that the word "Ashtareth" means "a wife" and Hislop showed that Ashtareth is a version of the Babylonish goddess Astarte, which is just another name for Semiramis the wife of Nimrod. The word Ashtareth lit. means "the woman that made the encompassing wall" and ancient history records that it was Semiramis who first built the walls of Babylon. Thus the worship of Baal and Ashtareth, that Israel fell prey to, is none other than the worship of the sun-god Nimrod and his wife Semiramis.

I would not slander the writers of the Talmud just because I disagree with the message of the Talmud.

The New Covenant mentioned in Jeremiah has nothing to do with the Christian NT. To say there is an OT and a NT us part of the Replacement Theology.

No it isn't. The New Testament upholds God's eternal covenant with the nation of Israel; Paul himself is emphatic that God has not cast away the Israelites. Replacement theologians are exactly opposite, they take the covenant from the Tanach for themselves and take all the blessing for Israel and place them on the Church because they teach that God reneged on his eternal covenant with Israel due to their disobedience. Dispensationalists recognize the difference between covenants.

The Christamas is indeed pagan in origin it was a day when Sol Invictus was born, but easter is modeled after jewish passover feast and its about the death and resurection of the Christ. you can not find more christian festival.
