Ankh Symbol of eternal life. The gods are often seen holding an ankh to someone's lips this is considered to be an offering of "The Breath of Life".

What many Christian followers do not realize, is that many of their religious symbols are mostly derive from Pagan ancestors.  Symbols like the fish, the cross, the dove, and the wedding ring have deep seeded Pagan roots. During the great converting that took place, when Roman Emperor Constantine in 325ad converted the entire Roman empire to Christianity, he transposed many of the Pagan religious symbols into Christian ones. However, Christians did not only steal religious relics from the Roman Pagan rituals, but also from the Greeks, Egyptians as well as the Babylonians.  In the sacred rites of the Babylonian worship to there gods, their high priests were exposed were lavish “sacred garments.” Much like the Catholic Pope does today.  What Constantine did was to mold Christianity from a precise mixture of many customs that were familiar and acceptable to Jews and Pagans at that time.  He wanted and designed a religion and belief system that was  intertwined with superstitions, from all parts of his empire.  That is why there is such a vast combination of different religions, that were collaborated together to from the Christian movement.

From the concept of burring the dead to Christian wedding rituals, Constantine and his advisors had to consider, rearrange, organize and make into law.  It had to be an overwhelming task when one thinks about it.  Therefore, using other religions as a tool and guide to his new faith was a very logical solution, to a very demanding undertaking.    As it is today, many earlier Christians were converted Pagans, baptized in the blood of Christ by the Apostle Paul himself.  Paul, being a pagan himself doesn’t not write scripture on the rites of burring the dead.  No, it was Constantine who established the idea that the dead should be buried.  A concept he stole from the Egyptians and Jews.   It was also believed by the Pharisees that to be buried, delivered lost souls from the gates of eternal damnation.

Symbol of Kings

From how we receive our message from the pulpit to our church alters, there is not one symbol truly sacred to Christianity .  Almost every aspect of the Christian faith has been modeled after, or molded by another Pagan belief from somewhere off in the distant past.  Take the Flail and Crook image, it has long been a symbol of royalty, majesty and dominion.  Notice the Shepard’s staff.

Hey, I know I’m behind a bit, but I’ve been doing some much needed research. Some of the things I’ve been working on have to do with God, Christ, Adam, Eve, Judas Thomas, biblical names and other such topics. I’ve been reading the Gnostic Gospel text “Thomas the Contender.” I have found it to be a most interesting read. Could Jesus Christ have been a twin? Was Judas Thomas his twin brother, born only minutes after Jesus Christ? Was Mary and Joseph’s last name Thomas? Were did the story come from?

I have also been researching the word “BOOTH.” I want to know it’s origin. I want to know how long has the word booth existed. I think it could hold a clue to unlocking a certain piece of the puzzle, concerning the lives of Adam and Eve. I’d appreciate anything you might know about the word booth.

Another area I’ve been working on is studying the Book of Jubilees. Did Cain really marry his younger sister? Did Adam and Eve really have 9 children? Were any of those children conceived in the Garden of Eden? And what of the Ethiopic texts? Are they more accurate than our own Christian Bible?

So that’s what I’ve been up too. By the way my son place 6th in the Columbia Relays! Take care and I’ll catch up with all of you very, very soon.

Blessings to you,

From time to time, I like to refresh on my outlook on my writings.  I use this as a tool that guides into certain writing directions.  Often, I like to review this first original journal entry as a reference point.  Nevertheless, though my writings yielded little results to this first entry.  My future writings might be more enlightening on the subject matter.  Truthfully, I had forgotten about wanting to research the word “booth.”  Interestingly enough, I’ve restarted that mission today.  Enjoy your day, and Lets Go T I G E R S!

They lost!  Shucks.  I also wanted to add to my site, the parental Internet Directory link.  It seems that search engines are sending them to my site, thank you, for this information.   Now we have it.
