"What do you believe"?

What do you believe? The virgin Birth, the resurrection, descent into hell, the raising of Lazarus, the ascension of Jesus, These are all spoken of freely and used for religious propaganda within the church. This propaganda is used effectively with an audience of people and children who know no better and have no understanding of historical events.

Every one of these myths is a violation of the normal running of the Natural world. When a supposed God created the universe he created natural law. (Laws of nature) and once established they cannot be violated without drastic consequences, (Jer.31: 35-36. Thus says Hashem," Who gives the sun as a light by day and the laws of the moon and the stars as a light by night; Who agitates the sea so that its waves roar; Hashem Master of Legions is his name. If these laws could be removed from before me, so could the seed of Israel cease from being a people before me forever. If the heavens above could be measured or the foundations of the earth plumbed below, so too would I reject the entire seed of Israel because of everything they did." (Christianity says that the church is the New Israel.) The supposed God is saying here. When the laws of nature disappear or are violated so does the world cease to exist.

Such as when the sun was turned off for a few hours at the moment of Jesus death upon the cross, This was no eclipse. At the same time the ground cracked open and dead people rose up from out of their tombs (these must have been practising Jews as the gentile world had not yet been converted) and wandered around the city for three days, and were supposedly seen by many. (violation of natural law.)

Were they raised from the dead before Jesus? it appears so by about three days, or were they like Lazarus and would have had to die twice? The New Testament says it is appointed for men to die once and then the resurrection. Something here does not add up.

Perhaps even Christians are sometimes Atheists especially about the god or gods of other religions. It was this man Jesus who was originally called "a son of God" but later became "The Son of God", and over a period of some centuries finally became "God Almighty himself."

Some sections of Christianity appear to have moved on a little. Nowadays some are told that heaven is not the physical place of old. It is not up there, but out there, and of course we also know that the world in which we live is part of the universe. The supposed God also does not have a physical body with a beard sitting just up there in the heavenly cloud above us.

So then, what happens with the doctrine of the assumption. It was defined as an article of faith by Pope Pius X11, as recently as November 1956. And it is binding on all Catholics. It clearly states that the body of Mary was taken into heaven and was reunited with her soul. What does this mean? Is heaven a physical place containing bodies? This is not obsolete tradition. It has officially and recently been declared to be literally true. No where in the bible is there a reference to these additions. The New Testament says that at the Second Coming of Christ, those who are dead in Christ shall rise first. How can this be if they are already in a physical heaven?

By the way, no where in the Tanach (Old Testament) does it say that the messiah will come twice and nowhere does it say that he will be God.

Forget the bit about the virgin shall be with child, After Dinah was raped by Shechem, (Gen.34:2.) the son of Hamor who defiled her, she was still considered a virgin .(young woman) after she had lost her purity. But she was no longer considered Betula.

Alma, Hebrew word for young maiden or young Woman, ripe sexually or newly married. The word virgin in Christian bible is a mistranslation.

Betula. Hebrew word for state of virginity, purity..
