Dajjaal … Antichrist

Part 7

Humankind and jinnkind- including Shaitan- are creations of Allah who absolutely are not one with Allah in any form whatsoever … SOBHAANALLAH … they absolutely have nothing in common with the Dhaat (essence, substance, …) of Allah … SOBHAANALLAH … Allah (SWT) grants, moment by moment, power and freewill to choose and perform … and Allah gives as much time as He wishes to His creations during which the creations are tested … and Allah SWT is Omnipotent over all of His creations and He can take away the granted power and freewill, moment by moment … and the creations are judged and rewarded and punished … based on their own actions which they have freely chosen to do, or not to do …

Iblis (Eblis) or al-Shaitan has arrogantly and transgressively chosen to misuse his moment by moment granted power and freewill against the Straight Path of Allah … he- as part of his malevolent tradition and plot- has cast his dark shadow of cosmic and … mysteries upon the teachings of all Prophets mainly through Shaitan-taught usurpation of their Allah-chosen Successors … please also refer to the E-book “Ghadir: Declaration of the Truth, from creation to eternity” …

That which is known as Christianity has actually been called pauline christianity by many christian scholars themselves; this so called christianity is admittedly based on the teachings of Paul the mystic (kabbalist, Gnostic, mithraist) usurper of the Allah bestowed position of Sham’oon Safa the true Successor of Jesus …

It is noteworthy to mention that terms such as cabbalist, gnostic and … have been defined in different times with different definitions by different groups … but that which is significant is the point that their beliefs are all mystic and based on a shaitaan-taught unity with the supreme … so when for instance it is said that Paul was gnostic, it does not necessarily mean that he belonged to a certain group called the gnostics with specific beliefs of that specific group, rather it is meant that the root of his beliefs were mystic and enigmatic and …

Elaine Pagels, a scholar of gnosticism and professor of religion at Princeton University USA has examined how the Pauline epistles were read by 2nd century gnostics and demonstrated that Paul could be considered a proto-gnostic … (From the English Wikipedia)

Let us remember- as mentioned before in articles such as “Truth behind Christmas” and “Truth behind Easter”, also as part of the E-book “Truth behind Christian commemorations” in this site: kindfather.com- in ancient times- way before what is being called christianity- mithra was considered a god, and son of light, and the sun-god … and the ancient cult of mithraism was a cosmic mystic worship of mithra … It is recorded that mithraism was already present in the roman empire from the beginning of the so-called christian era … and so many of christian beliefs match those of Mithraism, such as death and resurrection of jesus  and …

“… It is commonly believed that the cave in mithraism imagery represents the cosmos, and the rock is the cosmos seen from the outside; hence the description of this god as 'rising from the dead'. According to some accounts, mithras died, was buried in a cavernous rock tomb , and was resurrected.” (Mithraism - Indopedia, the Indological knowledgebase) 

“A bronze image of mithras emerging from an egg-shaped zodiac ring was found associated with a mithraeum along Hadrian's Wall (now at the University of Newcastle). An inscription from the city of Rome suggests that Mithras may have been seen as the orphic creator-god phanes who emerged from the world egg at the beginning of time, bringing the universe into existence. This view is reinforced by a bas-relief at the Estense Museum in Modena, Italy, which shows phanes coming from an egg, surrounded by the twelve signs of the zodiac, in an image very similar to that at Newcastle.” (the English Wikipedia Encyclopedia)

Paul was born in Tarsus as "Saul" and adopted the name of Paul after converting to what is now being called christianity. He was an early leader of the growing christian churches around the Roman Empire, and it is claimed that the writings of Paul are among the earliest existing christian writings. Despite this, Paul never met Jesus and appears to rely mostly on cosmic and … Greek, Roman  and … myths and legends, many of which he copied, placing Jesus at the center of them instead of their original heroes …

Let us look at the following so called “Prayer to Mithras”; notice how the concept of “pauline Christianity”- which preaches that the spirit is filled in the believers of the crucifixion of god and son of god and thus they are born again …- matches this ancient so called prayer:

“Spirit of Spirit, if it be your will, give me over to immortal birth so that I may be born again - and the sacred spirit may breathe in me.”

 “Mithraism and Judaism merged and became Christianity. Jesus, son of the Hebrew sky God, and Mithras, son of Ormuzd are both the same myth. St Paul as the first "Christian" bears much of the responsibility for merging the two in his preaching and teaching, and also comes from Tarsus, a major Mithraist center.” (Mithraism and Early Christianity: 6. Conclusions" by Vexen Crabtree (2002))

“Tarsus was the capital of Cilicia, where, according to Plutarch [46-125 CE], the Mithraic Mysteries were being practiced as early as 67 BCE.” ("The Jesus Mysteries" by Timothy Freke & Peter Gandy (1999))

“Gnosticism is an ancient religion … Gnosticism was heavily attacked by the first Christian anti-heresy writers. ("Gnosticism (1st-7th Century): The Birth of Christianity" by Vexen Crabtree (2013).

T. Freke & P. Gandy in The Jesus Mysteries (1999) compiled a large quantity of historical evidence that St. Paul was a Gnostic: Paul writes of a 'Gnosis' which can be taught only to the 'fully initiated'. He offers a prayer 'that your love may more and more be bursting with Gnosis'. He writes of 'Christ in whom are hid all the treasures of Gnosis' and of 'the Gnosis of God's Mystery'. Like a Gnostic initiate Paul claims: 'By revelation the Mystery was made known to me'. Like a Gnostic defending the secrecy of the Inner Mysteries he asserts that he has heard 'ineffable words which it is not lawful for a man to utter'. Like a Gnostic he puts the emphasis on understanding, not on dogma, writing, 'The letter kills, while the spirit gives life'. And like a Gnostic, he describes stories in the scriptures as 'allegories' and writes of 'events' and 'symbolic'.

People such as Freke and Gandy  the writers of The Jesus Mysteries, and the writers of the Vexen Crabtree, and …, not realizing that the Pure teachings of Prophet Moses (SBUH) was quite different than what is known as Judaism, and that similarly the pure teachings of Prophet Jesus (SBUH) was quite different from the teachings of the usurper Paul, have said statements such as: “… Christianity was inherently gnostic from its conception. It was another god-man religion like Mithraism, Osiris-Dionysis myths and other common religions of the time.” (The Jesus Mysteries)

In fact the Paul-created christianity or as it is called the “Pauline Christianity”- and not the pure teachings of the Prophet Jesus (SBUH)- was and still is indeed another Shaitan-taught god-man religion like Mithraism, Osiris-Dionysis myths and other common religions of the time of Paul and his followers …

And indeed many true followers of the Prophet Jesus (SBUH) resisted Paul’s teachings:

In p212-213 of The Jesus Mysteries, while the writers present evidence that Paul taught the same things that the Mystery religions, they also state that christians of the early second century attacked Paul, who they claimed 'contradicted' the true teaching and was the 'adversary' of Jesus.

Vexen Crabtree (2008) states: “Any original Jewish Christians were eventually completely replaced by Pauline Christians. According to the take on events in the Bible, the Apostles did not consider Paul to be a fellow apostle and didn't trust him, as he'd never actually met Jesus. Paul preached that converts didn't need to keep Old Testament Laws and that circumcision was a barrier to God. Paul's teachings, Greek to Greek, appealed to the masses of the Roman Empire and its neighbours, whereas Jewish Christianity dwindled in importance under the tide of followers of the easy Christianity preached by Paul.”

It is noteworthy to mention that the early followers of the Prophet Jesus (SBUH) are being called the jewish Christians by some jews and christians, mainly because the original followers of the Prophet Jesus (SBUH) did not believe in concepts such as crucifixion and trinity, and rather they believed in one God and followed laws of Hijab, specified praying, fasting and … as a sample, we cordially invite readers to refer to the E-book “Hijab, a Divine Ordinance, ordained by all Prophets of Allah (SBUT)” in this site: kindfather.com

Will Durant summarizes early Christianity: “In Christ and Peter, Christianity was Jewish; in Paul it became half Greek; in Catholicism it became half Roman” (Caesar 579) 

Indeed the “original” teachings of the Prophet ‘Eesa (Jesus) and his Allah-chosen Successor Sham’oon Safa (Simon Peter) (SBUT) were in line with the teachings of previous Prophets but as part of Shaitan’s malevolent parallel tradition and plot, Paul the usurper and later the Church deviated the original teachings …

"The great heresy of Gnosticism, which nearly swept Christianity from the earth in the early centuries, is admittedly Cabalistic." "The Cabala was the basis of Gnosticism." (Sometimes "Kabbalah" is spelled with a "C" = Cabala, Cabalistic). (Elizabeth Dilling, writer.)

“Kabbalah does not employ the terminology or labels of non-Jewish Gnosticism, but grounds the same or similar concepts in the language of the Torah (the first five books of the Hebrew Bible).” (Lessons from the Kabbalah and Jewish history By Josef Blaha, Page 183)

"It's [Christian Gnosticism’s] original form was rooted in Judaism, but it ultimately developed into a strange mixture of Jewish elements, Christian doctrines, and heathen speculative thought." (Berkhof, Pg 45)

A major part of Shaitan’s plot is to oppose the monotheistic fact that there is only one unique God and that His creations are absolutely not like unto Him. Thus a common point of all mystic systems is the unity of all beings with god, making all beings as god himself and pre-eternal within Him … Here is what the Webster Unabridged Dictionary says in regard to  cabala: … It was based on a mystical method of interpreting Scripture by which initiates claimed to penetrate sacred mysteries. Among its central doctrines are, all creation is an emanation from the Deity and the soul exists from eternity.

It is noteworthy to mention that concepts designated as wahdat al-wojud and wahdat al-mawjud and … in reality are the same old Shaitan-originated mystic teachings which appeared after Hadrat Mohammad (SAWA) …

Qur’an 42:11 The Originator of the heavens and the earth … there is not a thing like His likeness, and He is the Hearing, the Seeing.

Based on the Shaitan-taught kabbalistic and cosmic polytheism and blasphemy, which preaches unity of all beings with the supreme, pauline Christianity also distorted the true identity of the Holy Spirit as an angel of God and falsely introduced it as a part of a trinity which is to be worshipped, a part that was emanated from and born of god and thus the same substance as god and the same as god … thus ultimately making every thing as one with god:

Albert Pike in "Morals and Dogma" says “Kabbalist Jews were the direct precursors of Gnosticism," their Kabbalist doctrine being derived from their long history of "intimate relations" while in Babylon … He states that Trinities of the Kabbalists were the origin of the Christian Trinity.

It is noteworthy to mention that all ancient so called cosmic and … trinities in Egypt, Rome, Babylon, India and … are all Shaitan-originated which appear in different names and forms within jewish, christian and … mystic systems such as kabbala and …

With Roman power behind their press and with the favour of Emperors, the Pauline-Nicene Christians annihilated the Arians after long bloody campaigns, and murdered and burnt many other small sects, to leave themselves as the sole Christians within the Roman Empire, free to edit their own books to 'prove' how all their predecessors had been wrong. The three Cappadocian scholars promoted the Holy Spirit to the godhead to create a Trinity, which was codified strictly in to the Nicene Creed of 381, which went to careful lengths to disclaim against 'heresy'. Emperor Theodosius published a series of forceful edicts intolerant of all non-Nicene sects. This state of affairs persisted in the West for over a thousand years from the 5th century … (From: How Modern Christianity Began: The Cappadocian-Nicene-Pauline Roman Amalgamation: 3.)

“The worshipping of angels was back then, almost 2000 years ago, and still is, one of the distinctive trademarks of Jewish Kabbalism. Kabbalism today utilizes angels, magic, and astrology in their occult system, attempting to control the destiny of the universe.” ("The Kabbalah - the REAL Origin of the Trinity Doctrine." Pastor K. Kirkland Valdez Apostolic Church)

Shaitan as another part of his malevolent tradition and plot, in order to oppose the obedient angels of Allah and distort facts about them, has tempted his followers to designate the evil jinns who follow and obey him, as angels and stars of heaven. As noted above, this confusing designation  was originated within mystical systems such as kabbala, … and later entered the so called christianity:

Christian Bible, book of revelation 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon … 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the STARS of heaven, and did cast them to the earth … 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his ANGELS, 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his ANGELS were cast out with him.

… So in jewish mysticism, as mentioned in previous part, the name of an angel called Lucifer, whom the jews were familiar with, has been used and it is taught that Shaitan, a jinn itself, is that angel and it is not really evil, and ultimately it is to be revered and even worshipped … and then in christian mysticism the demons and jinns following Shaitan are called angels … and the name of an angel called holy spirit, whom the christians  are familiar with, has been  used and it is taught that it is to be worshipped as part of god … and …

“For the majority of Christian denominations, the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost is the third person (hypostasis) of the Holy Trinity: the Triune God manifested as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; each person itself being God.” (Millard J. Erickson (1992). Introducing Christian Doctrine. Baker Book House. p. 103; … as cited in the English Wikipedia)

As time passes, again and again, the mystic level of Shaitan’s teachings goes deeper and deeper, lower and lower … in fact what has been gradually happening again is that Shaitan- as part of his malevolent tradition and plot- has been teaching the worship of demons, or as called in Islamic terminology, jinns …

Qur’an 34:40 And on the day when He will gather them all together, then will He say to the angels: Did these worship you?

Qur’an 34:41 They shall say: Glory be to Thee! Thou art our Guardian, not they; nay! they worshipped the jinn; most of them were believers in them.

Qur’an 34:42 So on that day one of you shall not control profit or harm for another, and We will say to those who were unjust: Taste the chastisement of the Fire which you denied and called a lie.

May Allah hasten Mahdi (SBUH)’s Appearance … AAMEEN …

To be continued …
