Good versus evil: The Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ is for all men

Good versus evil: The Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ is for all men

The Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ is for all men

All Men Are Created In the Image And Likeness Of God.

Gn:1:26:
26 ¶ And he said: Let us make man to our image and likeness: and let him have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and the beasts, and the whole earth, and every creeping creature that moveth upon the earth. (DRV)

This is a core Catholic belief. It is self evident to all people with a conscience. It also explains something quite opposite to it.

When Adam sinned it took place because of the envy of the devil.

Rom:5:12:
12 Wherefore as by one man sin entered into this world and by sin death: and so death passed upon all men, in whom all have sinned. (DRV)

Wisdom 2:
23 For God created man incorruptible, and to the image of his own likeness he made him. 24 But by the envy of the devil, death came into the world: 25 And they follow him that are of his side. (DRV)

What was the devil's temptation? It was this:

Gn:3:
1 ¶ Now the serpent was more subtle than any of the beasts of the earth which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman: Why hath God commanded you, that you should not eat of every tree of paradise?
2 And the woman answered him, saying: Of the fruit of the trees that are in paradise we do eat:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of paradise, God hath commanded us that we should not eat; and that we should not touch it, lest perhaps we die.
4 And the serpent said to the woman: No, you shall not die the death.
5 For God doth know that in what day soever you shall eat thereof, your eyes shall be opened: and you shall be as Gods, knowing good and evil.
6 ¶ And the woman saw that the tree was good to eat, and fair to the eyes, and delightful to behold: and she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave to her husband, who did eat.
(DRV)

and you shall be as Gods

They chose to be their own gods. This is the base of racism. For if one were one's own god in one's own image and likeness, then one would be the founder of a race of gods who would look the same as oneself and be connected by bloodline, and one would consider oneself better than others.

But the Apostles, basing themselves on the teaching of Jesus Christ, taught that all men are equal in their creation by and in the sight of God.

Acts:17:26, 27:
26 And hath made of one, all mankind, to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, determining appointed times and the limits of their habitation.
27 That they should seek God, if haply they may feel after him or find him, although he be not far from every one of us. (DRV)

Therefore racism is of the devil and to be absolutely condemned.

The Catholic Faith calls all men to come to salvation in Jesus Christ. The Catholic Faith also calls in the Name of Christ the King of all Nations for equal justice here on earth for all men.

Christ Jesus alone is able to Redeem fallen man - ABSOLUTELY NO ONE ELSE. See Kenosis and kenosis and Kenosis.

The Lie From Hell Which is the Basis for All the Demonic 鬼


The principle below is the base for all paganism, ancient Summerian, Babylonian, Mesopotamian, Egyptian, European, African, Eurasian, Pacific, Americas, pre-Vedic Indian, Vedic and Yogic and Hindu and Buddhist and Taoist and Animist; its source is Nammu. Also see Summerian-Assyro/Babylonian-Indian Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and Buddha and Buddha and Buddha and Buddha and triple pagan god and Pagans Adore Idols and idolatry and ARAB PLANETARY IDOLATRY.

See here for organised naturalistic supranationalism of the Jewish nation and supranationalism of Freemasonry and the Jewish nation. SUCH SUPRANATIONALISM IS FOUNDED TOTALLY ON PAGAN IDOLATROUS RACIST SELF WORSHIP AND IS COMPLETELY PAGAN IN CHARACTER AND IS THOROUGHLY DIABOLIC AND DEMONIC AND WILL NEVER BE ANY PART OF WHAT GOD USES TO BRING PEOPLE TO SALVATION AND IS IRREVOCABLY MARKED WITH THE MARK OF THE BEAST AND DAMNED - ALL PEOPLE WHO MAKE THEMSELVES PART OF IT OR SUBMIT TO IT ARE DAMNED. NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE MIGHT SAY, THAT NATION OF JUDAISTS WILL NEVER EVEN BE OFFERED SALVATION BY GOD. INDIVIDUALS CAN BE CONVERTED, BUT ONLY INDIVIDUALS.

To adhere at all to paganism will cause the damnation of anyone who does that for eternity. Paganism is evil. God has Marked paganism by this number 666 as the literal Mark of paganism and damnation. For paganism leads always directly to damnation. This is why the Antichrist will be Marked with this number and will seek to mark others with this number - see here: 666 and here 666 and here 666. TO ACCEPT THE MARK IS TO BE DAMNED FOREVER. TO REJECT THE MARK UPON THE PAIN OF DEATH IS TO BE A MARTYR TO GOD AND HIS MESSIAH, JESUS CHRIST AND BE SAVED FOR ETERNITY.

The Lord Jesus Christ is the Truth and has nothing to do with the Lie From Hell Which is the Basis for All the Demonic 鬼

The Lord Jesus Christ said:

Jn:12:46:
46 I am come, a light into the world, that whosoever believeth in me may not remain in darkness. (DRV)

Jn:14:30:
30 I will not now speak many things with you. For the prince of this world: cometh: and in me he hath not any thing. (DRV)

Jn:3:19:
19 And this is the judgment: Because the light is come into the world and men loved darkness rather than the light: for their works were evil. (DRV)

The Lie From Hell Which is the Basis for All the Demonic 鬼

Daemon Est Deus Inversus is pure Satanism and will be punished in hell by God for eternity. It is the absolute founding principle of Lurianic Cabbalism and is the Star of Rempham that St. Stephen rightly condemned.

From:

http://www.theosociety.org/pasadena/etgloss/daa-der.htm

“Daemon Est Deus Inversus (Latin) Daemon (Demon) is divinity inverted; more commonly, the Devil is God inverted. An ancient Hermetic, and later Qabbalistic, aphorism referring to that polar power which is required by the equilibrium and harmony in nature. The One, when manifested, becomes Two, and from the Two are unfolded or evolved all the sequence of manifest existence. Spirit and matter, good and evil, as distinct conceptions exist only by their mutual contrast. There is no evil per se, but the human notion of essential evil arises from our inability to take in the whole at a single glance.

Daemon is applicable in general to all formative power, from the highest to the lowest; in this aphorism it denotes the formative rays in their manifestation in and on the lower planes of prakriti, called by contrast the nether pole. Western monotheism, having anthropomorphized the higher creative powers into a personal God, personified the lower powers into a Devil and demons. But Satan or the Adversary is only God's messenger, because what is below reflects what is above. This aphorism, then, states that all the manifested universe is the representation or material inversion or reflection of the divine essence and its emanations which in their aggregate compose the spiritual background and causal forces of the universe. Furthermore, a reflected image reverses.

Finally, the aphorism denotes the astral light, represented by a black triangle inverted on a white (SD 1:424).”

This is the “Star of David” which is really the Star of the Solomonic temple and has nothing to do with David. It is also the sign of Freemasonry.

"The HEXAGRAM [Magen David 6-pointed star] was adopted by the Zionist Organization at the First Zionist Congress in 1897." (Cavendish, p. 1300)

Daemon Est Deus Inversus is pure Satanism and will be punished in hell by God for eternity. It is the absolute founding principle of Lurianic Cabbalism and is the Star of Rempham that St. Stephen rightly condemned.

See: Acts:7:43:
43 And you took unto you the tabernacle of Moloch and the star of your god Rempham, figures which you made to adore them. And I will carry you away beyond Babylon. (DRV)



_鬼: Excellent article. & An absolutely evil plan.

Deuteronomy 5:7
Thou shalt not have strange gods in my sight.


Exodus Chapter 20:[1] And the Lord spoke all these words: [2] I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. [3] Thou shalt not have strange gods before me. [4]Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the earth. [5] Thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them: I am the Lord thy God, mighty, jealous, ....



This example shows the basis of Mahavairochana (Dainichinyorai), the whole base of all the esoteric-exoteric Buddhist worship of the dragon, Satan.

One example of the Star of Chiun - Remphan, as it reappeared in the far east, (Indo-China, Tibet, Nepal, China, Korea, Japan) as the Lotus (symbol of pagan reincarnation and worship of the Great White Dragon in the Abyss [from Sanskrit] - Satan) inside the four corners of the cosmos and inside the Lotus is a version of the ancient Egyptian six triangles. "SIX TRIANGLES...is the Egyptian hieroglyphic for the ...Land of the Spirits." (Churchward, p. 177)

Simpler version of the above Tantric symbol in the East (India) from the ancient Assryo-Egyptian: Remphan, Chiun. Amos 5:26-27, "ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god which ye made to yourselves." See: Acts 7:42-43 This is the Egyptian starred or Sun-ray symbol of the land of the spirits and Amun-Ra, Osiris-Satan. The starred or rayed pattern is six (as in Magen star of Remphan of the modern abomination called falsely Israel) and this becomes eight and then twelve and sixteen rays. Both the six and eight rays were predominantly present in both ancient Egypt and the Indus in exactly this application and meaning from the earliest ancient times. The Lotus is a symbol of Satan in both Egypt and the Indus and Asia. Absolutely and completely contrary to that, the Crocus is a symbol of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Cavendish, p. 1300. Tells us that the Hexagram was adopted at the First Zionist Congress in 1897. It is descended from the older Red Shield of Rothschild which in turn is from the Cabalistic symbols which in turn were derived from the ancient Assryo-Egyptian: star of Remphan, Chiun.

Saint Stephen's martyrdom and testimony against the false gods, including Rempham (Remphan).



The Acts Of The Apostles
Chapter 7

Stephen's speech before the council. His martyrdom.

[1] Then the high priest said: Are these things so? [2] Who said: Ye men, brethren, and fathers, hear. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charan. [3] And said to him: Go forth out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee. [4] Then he went out of the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Charan. And from thence, after his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein you now dwell. [5] And he gave him no inheritance in it; no, not the pace of a foot: but he promised to give it him in possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child.

[6] And God said to him: That his seed should sojourn in a strange country, and that they should bring them under bondage, and treat them evil four hundred years. [7] And the nation which they shall serve will I judge, said the Lord; and after these things they shall go out, and shall serve me in this place. [8] And he gave him the covenant of circumcision, and so he begot Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begot Jacob; and Jacob the twelve patriarchs. [9] And the patriarchs, through envy, sold Joseph into Egypt; and God was with him, [10] And delivered him out of all his tribulations: and he gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharao, the king of Egypt; and he appointed him governor over Egypt, and over all his house.

[11] Now there came a famine upon all Egypt and Chanaan, and great tribulation; and our fathers found no food. [12] But when Jacob had heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent our fathers first: [13] And at the second time, Joseph was known by his brethren, and his kindred was made known to Pharao. [14] And Joseph sending, called thither Jacob, his father, and all his kindred, seventy-five souls. [15] So Jacob went down into Egypt; and he died, and our fathers.

[16] And they were translated into Sichem, and were laid in the sepulchre, that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Hemor, the son of Sichem. [17] And when the time of the promise drew near, which God had promised to Abraham, the people increased, and were multiplied in Egypt, [18] Till another king arose in Egypt, who knew not Joseph. [19] This same dealing craftily with our race, afflicted our fathers, that they should expose their children, to the end they might not be kept alive. [20] At the same time was Moses born, and he was acceptable to God: who was nourished three months in his father's house.

[21] And when he was exposed, Pharao's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son. [22] And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and he was mighty in his words and in his deeds. [23] And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel. [24] And when he had seen one of them suffer wrong, he defended him; and striking the Egyptian, he avenged him who suffered the injury. [25] And he thought that his brethren understood that God by his hand would save them; but they understood it not.

[26] And the day following, he shewed himself to them when they were at strife; and would have reconciled them in peace, saying: Men, ye are brethren; why hurt you one another? [27] But he that did the injury to his neighbour thrust him away, saying: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge over us? [28] What, wilt thou kill me, as thou didst yesterday kill the Egyptian? [29] And Moses fled upon this word, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begot two sons. [30]And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the desert of mount Sina, an angel in a flame of fire in a bush.

[31] And Moses seeing it, wondered at the sight. And as he drew near to view it, the voice of the Lord came unto him, saying: [32] I am the God of thy fathers; the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses being terrified, durst not behold. [33] And the Lord said to him: Loose the shoes from thy feet, for the place wherein thou standest, is holy ground. [34] Seeing I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, and I will send thee into Egypt. [35] This Moses, whom they refused, saying: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge? him God sent to be prince and redeemer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

[36] He brought them out, doing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the desert forty years. [37] This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel: A prophet shall God raise up to you of your own brethren, as myself: him shall you hear. [38] This is he that was in the church in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him on mount Sina, and with our fathers; who received the words of life to give unto us. [39] Whom our fathers would not obey; but thrust him away, and in their hearts turned back into Egypt, [40] Saying to Aaron: Make us gods to go before us. For as for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.

[41] And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifices to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. [42] And God turned, and gave them up to serve the host of heaven, as it is written in the books of the prophets: Did you offer victims and sacrifices to me for forty years, in the desert, O house of Israel? [43] And you took unto you the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Rempham, figures which you made to adore them. And I will carry you away beyond Babylon. [44] The tabernacle of the testimony was with our fathers in the desert, as God ordained for them, speaking to Moses, that he should make it according to the form which he had seen. [45] Which also our fathers receiving, brought in with Jesus, into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David.

[45] "Jesus"... That is Josue, so called in Greek.

[46] Who found grace before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob. [47] But Solomon built him a house. [48] Yet the most High dwelleth not in houses made by hands, as the prophet saith: [49]Heaven is my throne, and the earth my footstool. What house will you build me? saith the Lord; or what is the place of my resting? [50] Hath not my hand made all these things?

[48] "Dwelleth not in houses"... That is, so as to stand in need of earthly dwellings, or to be contained, or circumscribed by them. Though, otherwise by his immense divinity, he is in our houses; and every where else; and Christ in his humanity dwelt in houses; and is now on our altars.

[51] You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you also. [52] Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? And they have slain them who foretold of the coming of the Just One; of whom you have been now the betrayers and murderers: [53] Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it. [54] Now hearing these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed with their teeth at him. [55] But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looking up steadfastly to heaven, saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God. And he said: Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

[56] And they crying out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and with one accord ran violently upon him. [57] And casting him forth without the city, they stoned him; and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man, whose name was Saul. [58] And they stoned Stephen, invoking, and saying: Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. [59] And falling on his knees, he cried with a loud voice, saying: Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep in the Lord. And Saul was consenting to his death.

The Buddha is in hell with his master, the devil

Lk:4:5 "And the devil led him into a high mountain and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time."

Jesus absolutely rejected this. Instead, to accept this false vision given by the devil as an indwelling of the divine, is exactly the same as the Buddhist teaching on attaining enlightenment in a moment of time encompassing past, present and future as Gotama was supposed to have done under the Banyan tree (the mahabodhi tree).

Our Only Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ totally rejected this temptation, and so must we. Notice what He said in Lk:4:8 "And Jesus answering said to him. It is written: Thou shalt adore the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve." It is not enough to declaim power and wealth, in fact if they are from God there is no reason to, quite the opposite. The fact is that when the devil offers them it is a lie, and to accept or reject them in one's own name, as did the Buddha, is idolatry and sinful. Jesus showed us that the only correct answer is to tell the devil that these things are God's and do not belong to the devil and we will have nothing to do with the devil. The so-called Buddha is an example of those who embrace the temptation of the devil as leading, whether in an ascetical manner or not, to truth, which it won't and therefore they, like the Buddha go to hell.

This following is shear illusion and has nothing to do with the truth.

WASHINGTON(February 10, 2005)—The third meeting of the Northern California Zen/Ch’an-Catholic Dialogue took place at San Francisco Zen Center from Thursday January 20 to Sunday January 23, 2005. Set in a framework of meditative stillness and liturgical prayer, the dialogue engaged the theme of “Practice: Means towards Transformation.” Co-conveners this year were Bishop John C. Wester, auxiliary bishop of San Francisco, and Abbot Paul Haller of Zen Center.

The opening presentation was an experience of “sacred reading” (lectio divina) from the Christian monastic tradition, using the great christological hymn in Ephesians 1: 3-14, allowing each participant to encounter the words, allowing the meaning to arise in silence.

Jan Chozen Bays Roshi and Fr. Francis Tiso of the USCCB Secretariat of Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairsstood in for Sr.Mary Ann Donovan, who was ill, for the first session on the meaning of transformation in Christ. Sr. Donovan’s paper used Scripture and the biography of St. Anthony of Egypt by St. Athanasius. Discussion explored the meaning of transformation in several periods of Church history and compared the views of Zen and Ch’an on inherent Buddha nature
. The determining role of Christ and the Buddha in shaping understanding and experience of transformation was examined in the light of contemplative and pastoral experience. Whether practice actually changes persons, or whether it is a matter of uncovering inherent goodness, or a liberation brought about by divine grace, was examined in depth.

The third presentation took up the controversial question of dual practice: Christians undergoing Zen training and Buddhists continuing to adhere in various ways to the Christian or Jewish practices into which they may have been born. Fr. James Fredericks examined the testimony of a number of Catholics grounded in the Ignatian spiritual tradition who have pursued Zen training. Respondents noted that there is religious content to Buddhist meditation practice and that one cannot easily segregate “just sitting” from the philosophical “view” within which sitting is fruitful in Buddhist practice. However, numerous instances of dual practice have been seen to give rise to exemplary lives among mature Christians and Buddhists, suggesting a “hidden wholeness” that is nurtured by such practice. Rev. Zenkei Blanche Hartman, Rev. Heng Shur and Chozen Jan Bays led an exploration of the culture and meaning of the practice of chanting the Heart Sutra. This practice embodies the unity of emptiness and compassion that characterizes the Mahayana philosophical viewpoint and the ideal of the Bodhisattva. Musical settings include ancient Chinese chant, contemporary East Asian pop music, and even Anglican plainchant.

Rev. Myo Denis Lahey explored the problematic dimensions of dual practice and the presence of the “other” in Christian and Buddhist spirituality. Discussion ranged over the sense of “belonging” in religious life and the sense of being guided by circumstances that are perfectly suited to growth and change.

Rev. Taigen Dan Leighton based his presentation on the insight of Dogen Zenji that “
all space becomes charged with the Buddha’s enlightenment and each meditator can renew the quality of change” across the arc of time. The meditator is within the world-system and can take on the role of a protector, responsible for caring for the world. This is the basis for Buddhist social engagement. Fr. Robert Hale developed a response showing how the prophetic social critique of the Hebrew tradition takes on a new form in the universal mission of the Cosmic Christ. Discussion examined the risks of social engagement and co-optation, purity of motivation, and the limits of institutional bases for action. General discussion explored the use of a variety of metaphors, such as “a diamond with many facets,” to describe engagement as persons committed to spiritual practice with a world of contradictory voices.

One sign of authentic spiritual transformation was recognized in the ability to abide in and hold perplexity and opposition: contradictions can lead to a deeper awareness of self and others in relationship.

A public event at the Zen Center on Saturday evening allowed a variety of spiritual seekers to engage the dialogue experience. Questions having the character of shared spiritual guidance gave solidity to the sense of unity and trust that the dialogue participants had been experiencing.

The final discussion explored the challenges of karma, grace, free will, effort, and the spiritual teacher in the transformative process. The meditator is faithful to the effort, but unattached to the outcome. And any circumstance may embody the “spiritual teacher”.


The Cosmic Christ – Cosmocrator and the fruits of that bad tree:


Note in the sixth paragraph from the top in the text that Jesus Christ is not referred to but instead the “Cosmic Christ”. This is no other than the most blasphemous gnostic heresy of the Cosmocrator – Satan as Christ. – “Fr. Robert Hale developed a response showing how the prophetic social critique of the Hebrew tradition takes on a new form in the universal mission of the Cosmic Christ.” Also, from the third paragraph: “The determining role of Christ and the Buddha in shaping understanding and experience of transformation….”


This is directly from the Satan worshipping Naaseni (Hebrew Gnostic) and Ophites (Gentile Gnostic) among the Gnostic heretics refuted by St. Irenaeus and St. Hippolytus and other of the Church Fathers who also noted the connection of the Naaseni/Ophites and other gnostics to the far east gymnosophists i. e. Buddhists of India.

Note: pundarika in Sanskrit (the above English and Greek are direct transliterations letter for letter from the Sanskrit) is literally “the great white dragon in the abyss” which is the core and basis of the whole esoteric tradition, priesthood, and the dainichi nyorai (the head of the diabolic trinity of the dragon in Buddhism). The dainichi nyorai is also the exact very basis for their magic/sorcery with it’s six elements they manipulate. Elements here are exactly the stoichea in Col. 2:8.


Col:2:8:

8 Beware lest any man cheat you by philosophy and vain deceit: according to the tradition of men according to the elements (Gr: stoichea) of the world and not according to Christ. (DRV)

Originally there were in ancient religion four elements (fire spirit water earth) with spirit deleted by the pagans and air and then also and/or aether inserted. These were variously identified with the visible planets and gods/goddesses of the pagans. The order was also rearranged variously and finally a sixth element was added: universal mind (just as the heretical interpretation of Jesus Christ as the impersonal word of God, instead of enhypostasia which is correct that Jesus Christ is the Person-al Son and Word of God incarnate). Finally language was seen as the mystical means of connecting with the powers of the gods/goddesses (actually Satan and the other fallen angels and the demons [demons are, according to the Church Fathers, the non-human souls of the pre-flood nephilim]), and with that alpha-numeric theosophies, namely Hebrew Gematria (Greek and Roman variations are Isopsephia) were especially used. These connections were for the sorcery/magic astrological control over the elements (Greek – stoichea) and even other men. Trigrams, pentagrams, hexagrams et al were symbols used in conjunction with this.

Gnosticism is Paganism -- both are outside of salvation


For instance the Gnostics, according to the Church Fathers, copied much of their doctrine from Platonism, Graeco-Egyptian paganism and far eastern religiosity and claimed, totally falsely, that this is what Jesus taught. The Gnostic doctrines are obvious in this plagiarizing of paganism and denial of the true Jesus Christ. In the East the Buddhist teaching of how Sakyamuni (Gotama), the Buddha, obtained his “enlightenment” is obviously diabolic and has a great deal in common with Graeco-Egyptian mysticism in the west; especially this is extremely similar to Simon Magus’ portrayal of himself entwined with snakes in the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil as a man-god to be sought after as the ultimate teacher of true knowledge. The prime example: The Dragon Flower Tree (the banyan or pipal [fig] tree) from which the great white serpent from the abyss (the devil) granted Gotama (the Buddha) his “enlightenment” which consisted of his denying the I AM and being his own saviour. Otherwise known as the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil which in classical and traditional Catholic teaching is the first type of the devil. Gn:2:17: 17 But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat. For in what day soever thou shalt eat of it, thou shalt die the death. (DRV)

There has been a recent upsurge in the blasphemous syncretism especially of the kind of Simon Magus and the other ancient gnostics. Instead of an Apostolic confession of faith in certain Catholic and Orthodox circles, among others, an evolutionary naturalism claiming that the Christian faith is an evolutionary step in religious developement is being proposed. This is A LIE. An example is that the gods and goddesses of Egypt could somehow be "types" of the true God and His Christ and the blessed virgin Mary. This is apostasy. the book of Wisdom makes that plain:

Wisdom: 14:8 But the idol that is made by hands, is cursed, as well it, as he that made it: and it because being frail it is called a god.

See also, Wisdom Chapters 14 through 18 wherein it is shown that all the idols and false gods thereof of Egypt were cursed by God and He delivered His people therefrom and caused the devils and demons, the false gods/goddesses, behind the the idols to destroy their worshippers,the Egyptians.

This modern idea, advanced first by the ancient gnostics, that the true God and the false gods could be the same is blaspheming the Holy Spirit. This isn't Catholic or Orthodox. It is Vatican II Romanism and Synthetic Orthodox Gnostic Church, where Orthodox is really heterodox and Romanism is simply a total reversal to willful pagan rejection of Christ and salvation.

Instead come to Jesus Christ Who said:

Jn:14:6:
6 Jesus saith to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me.
