Tomorrow on the Hebrew
Calendar (May 20,2021 on the secular calendar) at sundown begins the day of
Shavuot, better known to many as Pentecost. The Christian
holiday of "Pentecost" should not be confused with the Biblical feast, since
it is not even kept on the same day as the Biblical Shavuot.
"The Christian holiday of Pentecost is a moveable feast, which is celebrated
on the 50th day (the seventh Sunday) from Easter Sunday." [wikipedia[dot]org/Pentecost]
The Christian Pentecost
is based on Christian mythology that reckons the Pentecost of the Bible as
the birthday of the Christian Church. When I say "mythology" here it is
really a polite way of saying "a lie that millions of people have come to
believe." How could it be a lie if so many people have believed it for so
long?
According to the
Scientific American here's how that can happen:
Joseph Goebbels, minister of propaganda for the Nazi German government of
the Third Reich, understood the power of repeating falsehoods. “If you tell
a lie big enough and keep repeating it,” he asserted, “people will
eventually come to believe it.” This phenomenon, pervasive in contemporary
politics, advertising, and social media, is known in cognitive psychology as
the “illusory truth effect.”
The Christian Church was
using the illusory truth effect long before Goebbels used it, and
long before the term was ever coined. The Christian lie about Pentecost is
only one among many lies that were invented by the Church to veil the truth,
that truth being that the Christian Church actually originated when the
Gentiles broke away from the original movement of Messiah and His apostles
in the 2nd century. That's right. The Church is a schismatic break-off group
from the original movement of the apostles, not that original movement
itself. This historical truth is addressed in detail in this Fast Track
series about history. The Biblical Pentecost, in actuality, is an Israelite
holy day that was given to Israel at Mount Sinai, that is entirely an
Israelite thing. More about that at our Shavuot meeting tomorrow night.
Our Fast Track feature
for tomorrow night's meeting is entitled "The Great Judaic Schism" and fits
perfectly as a Shavuot presentation. Please join us for both of these
meetings, tonight and tomorrow night, at
Tsiyon.Net at
8:00 PM CST. Both of these presentations have been re-mastered, and are
better than ever. I'm really excited about sharing these, and this whole
series with you!
Blessings and good health to you!
