ok everyone, spend a whopping 8 bucks and go out and buy a book called
The Gods of Eden.. if you haven't read it already, it explains the
true history of religion and freemasonry citing factual references and texts. the debate over who created "christianity" can go on and on, but does
it really matter who did? personally i think all religion is just used for social control and mass manipulation, but i knew that long before i even
heard of a "freemason"...
i'm even hearing some stuff lately by David Wilcock that Jesus considered himself a "son of man", and not the "son of God" - we're ALL the sons
of God, with the power to create life, or destroy it - hence the whole "tree of knowledge of life and death". Jesus, possibly a red-headed
Essene, just wanted to be remembered for helping his fellow man and spreading the true gospel of
brotherly love - NOT the "Brotherhood of the Snake" brotherly love, either. he certainly did NOT want to be worshipped or considered a "Lord" -
christianity simply put words into Jesus's mouth, twisting his true beliefs into something that benefitted the church.
EDIT: and by the way, David Wilcock says the name "Jesus" is just a bastardization of the word "Yehoshua"...
and he's right.
The name "Jesus" is an Anglicization of the Greek Ίησους (Iēsous), itself a Hellenization of the Hebrew יהושע (Yehoshua) or
Hebrew-Aramaic ישוע (Yeshua), meaning "YHWH rescues".
