The Problem With Christ

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

"Men suppose their reason has command over their words; still it happens that words in return exercise authority on reason." ~ Francis Bacon (1561-1626) English statesman and philosopher; precursor of British empiricism; advocated inductive reasoning

Thanks to Christopher Gorton’s easy and quickly read book, which I had the privilege of reading and commenting on before its public publication, I discovered an amazing Biblical example of the truth of Sir Francis’ quote above.

I learned that the Greek word, 'christos’, does not mean 'Christ'. I also learned that, for Jesus’ first Followers, ‘mashiach’ no longer meant “anointed one”, literally “smeared with oil.

Chris clearly documents that both christos and mashiach are each most accurately translated not as Christ or Messiah in English. His excellent research reveals that the English word Christ is an inaccurate, traditional, transliteration, and not an accurate translation. (A transliteration conveys only similarity of sound ..not accurate meaning!)

While proving this for me, Chris puts to rest, once and for all, that Christos was certainly NOT Jesus' second name, which both some Christians and most non-Followers actually believe.

Pastors and Christians who love their Bibles will enjoy exploring with Chris why translators since the King James Bible have hidden this fact from modern Christians. And they did so in languages other than English.

Chris does not play “conspiracy theorist” around this intriguing conundrum. But, I had a fascinating time doing so. I concocted my own theory as to why we’ve not been told the whole truth by Bible translators and scholars who should know what Chris reveals ...at least those in the modern age with the Biblical tools and resources now available.

"So what?", you may ask? "What's the big deal about a word?" You decide after reading Christopher’s enlightening book. But please remember that Satan has been practicing "semantic sedition" for a reason since he first conned Adam and Eve.

Plus “this truth will set you free” and open new vistas to our Saviour as you substitute the correct translation for Christ and Messiah as you read Scripture and sing the old hymns and modern worship songs.

You can follow other discoveries Chris has made on Facebook and Twitter as he continues to explore the ancient, real meanings of other sacrosanct, Christian words ...words like ‘apostle’, ‘church’, and others. That truth will enrich your understanding of the Bible as well.

Be enlightened and blessed by this book,

Islam Itself Must Be Reformed Before Terrorism Will Stop

Why is “The War on Terrorism” not accomplishing its goal? In fact, why is it getting worse? If economic deprivation is key, why are so many North American youth being radicalised and executing homeland jihad?


Ex-Muslim Terrorist Says: "Only Muslims Can Stop Terrorism!" 

You'll have confirmed by another committed Muslim in the video below that there is no safety by trying to eliminate jihadi terrorists.

My Friend, Tawfik Hamid, of the anti-terrorism group at the Potomac Institute in Washington, clearly tells a CTV interviewer that the roots of Muslim hatred and violence are firmly entrenched in the holiest Muslim book, the Qur'an.

Until these roots are dealt with, Tawfik, an ex-terrorist himself, believes the world cannot be at peace nor North American's safe.

In the meantime, please pray for those Muslims and non-Muslims who are persecuted, raped, sodomized and murdered plus their persecutors! Please do so because of what I suggest below.
How can Christians quit praying when haters don't quit & Satan is inspiring Muslims worldwide to rape, sodomize & murder our Sisters & Brothers plus their children! ~  gfp '42™
