Pagan Doctrine of the Soul by Ernest L. Martin

(1/5) > >>

Samson:
Hello Everyone,
                     While perusing through my collection of articles from various Universal Sites, I came across something very interesting, that I thought I might share with all of you. Remembering reading one of Rays' E-mail responses where he makes reference to Ernest Martin as one who taught him some of the things he knows, I came across an article Entitled PAGAN DOCTRINE OF THE SOUL, DELIBERATE DECEPTION ! by Ernest L. Martin, which happens to be one of my favorite articles that I've come across thus far. Under the Sub-Heading, The Ancients Admitted they Lied he states, " The primary reason for the invention of the doctrines of a terrible and never-ending Hades, and its supporting doctrine of inherent immortality, was clearly that of state expediency. the common people were told false hoods to keep them subject to the state. This was especially true among the Greeks and pre-eminently among the Romans. Pagan religion and all its ramifications was simply manufactured to control the masses. The doctrines of a hell immediately after death which signified that people had inherent immortality were meant to scare the common people into being faithful citizens. Philosophers, Theologians and Statesmen developed what became known by First Century B.C. as the "double doctrine" or the "double truth" teaching. The populace were told one thing, a pack of lies and the intellectuals, actually those initiated into the mysteries as we will see were told the naked truth. It is no wonder Paul said that the leaders were without excuse, they knew better, they hold back the truth, (Rom.1:18). The leaders would not tell the people the facts, which they were very much aware of. Pythagoras in the sixth century B.C., Plato, Aristotle and even those of the first century always had two doctrines. Invariably their disciples were told the truth ( as much as the Philosophers understood it), and the common people were told as many bold-faced lies as was necessary to control them and render them governable. "

                                                  The first time I read this, it blew my mind and it sickened my heart how they misled people, willingly and willfully. These were just some of the main excerpts from that Article, to drive home the main point of the article. Just thought to share this with all of you, before I head back to work Tomorrow and attempt to finish cooking Sausage and Peppers for my wife and I. I would love to invite you over for some, but your too far away. Looking forward to hearing some feedback regarding this post.   May the Love God be with all of you, Samson(Brad).

Hi Brad,
Thats pretty close to what the watch tower puts out.
They control lie and (yes folks) teach false teachings of men, and cover the light of God.


Great catch!
Gods speed.

Brad I believe it!  Keep the masses illiterate, poor, and fear(of the army and spirits of afterlife).

Just google church history and you will find lots of info like that

Hi Brad,

Thanks for posting that article.  And we only see a little of the lies and deception.  When Jesus shines His light on the darkness of this world we'll all be amazed at the darkness He uncovers. 

Yesterday I rec'd in the mail a letter with a prayer rug ( really just a picture of a rug ???), and instrucions to pray for what I wanted to bring into my life (money, job, etc.) and return the "rug", along with my donation in the enclosed envelope and Jesus would grant me my prayers!  I can't believe anyone could be so gullible, but people must send money or they wouldn't be mailing these letters.  ::)  Just shows you how powerful the god of this system is, and how completely he is able to blind people thru his agents on this earth. 

This fits in with Ray's January bible study and the lies and deception he saw in the WWC.  These vessels of wrath, Satan's earthly agents will have their day of judgment.  And we know God hates a false tongue!

Can things get any worse before Jesus returns?     ??? :o :'(

gmik:
Oh, I remember getting stuff like that! ugh

But don't you get all those e mails from your "babylonian" friends, and they are cute and sweet and even "spiritual" and then in says....send to 10 friends and in 4days something good will happen to you!!

These people don't even recognize the deception-but lord they wouldn't take a drink or be caught dead smoking-but they promote witchcraft!!!
