`Good Book’ in six words

Today, I'm "reviewing" David Plotz's "Good Book: The Bizarre, Hilarious, Disturbing, Marvelous, and Inspiring Things I Learned When I Read Every Single Word of the Bible.''

My six-word review: `Good Book' makes God look bad.

For an explanation of the thinking behind six-word reviews, please see here.

CTR: I would like to respond to Mr. Winn's false accusations against fellow Christians beginning Chapter 5 of his book:

Here is the quote in question from his book, the “Prophet of Doom”:

“While we stand upon the shoulders of the Babylonian, Assyrian, and Sumerian scholars, we are haunted by their faith. Two politically-minded doctrines grew out of its schemes - Medieval Catholicism and fundamental Islam. For a thousand years the most powerful forces were not nations but religions. Both deployed rites first practiced in Babylonian temples. Many Catholic symbols, festivals, and doctrines are rooted in the practices of these distant peoples. Christmas, Easter, Lent, the priesthood, confession, and the worship of the Virgin Mary are examples of present rites borrowed from a pagan past.” (cf. page 89)

CTR: My Response:

Politically-minded doctrines: One of the most popular is the refusal to burn incense to the emperor ... and then getting killed.

Yada: While treating men as if they were representing God is wrong, it would be absurd to credit Islam or Catholicism with being popular movements which are opposed to exalting humans—if indeed that were your point. Both religions are “politically-minded doctrines” and they both honor emperors, albeit by different names.

Constantine, the father of what has become Roman Catholicism, was both emperor and general and also, head of the church. He made it illegal, with the punishment being death, for anyone who observed Yahweh’s instructions in the Torah—including observing the Sabbath, Passover, Unleavened Bread, FirstFruits, Seven Sevens, Trumpets, Reconciliations, and Shelters. And that was a far greater crime than burning incense to an emperor.

As for the emperor, “Pontifex Maximus,” meaning “highest priest” in Etruscan, from which “pope” is derived, was Caesar’s title as head of the Pontifical College of Priests. He was considered to be the “gatekeeper of the afterlife” as the divine representative of Janus (meaning “doorway”)—from whom we get the name of the month January in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, and the title “Cardinals,” which is based upon the Roman word for “hinge of a doorway.”


CTR: Politicians in all centuries, including the United States, have attempted to coop religion, especially those of the majority for political gain.

Yada: While true, it is not only irrelevant to this passage, it works against Roman Catholicism. The union of church and state, and between cleric and king, was how Roman Catholicism controlled Europe for centuries. Coronation of kings by the pope is a perfect example. And even if it were true, being one of many religious institutions which have been cooped for political gain, doesn’t make Roman Catholicism good.

CTR: In some regions and throughout history, the political system fell apart (Feudal or Medieval Europe?) and the Church was the only “system” offering unity and stability.

Yada: All political systems eventually fall apart, so this too is irrelevant. However, by bringing up this point, you have validated my conclusion.

The reason that Feudal and Medieval Europe was such a horrid, virtually enslaved, ignorant and oppressive realm for the common people, was because of Roman Catholicism. To say that the Catholic Church should be credited for making it “unified and stable” is to infer that Hitler’s Germany, Stalin’s Russia, and Mao’s China were the beneficiaries of their totalitarian systems because they made them “unified and stable.” Egypt was unified and stable when Yahweh freed His people from their oppressive political, religious, and economic schemes.

CTR: Unfortunately, there are always opportunists who will use ANY system to their own advantage often portraying themselves as God’s servants.

Yada: Throughout human history, the most exacting, longest lived, and most egregious examples of this are Roman Catholicism and Islam. No other religion or institution even comes close. So, if your excuse is that Catholicism and Islam are not alone with regard to “opportunistically using their system to their advantage while portraying themselves as God’s servants,” it is a pathetically weak argument. And it is an admission of failure with regard to your rebuttal.

CTR: Many bishops were exiled and/or killed point blank for challenging the overbearing political systems of their day, including, but not limited to Byzantine Emperors, Nazi Germany, Communist Russia, Liberation Theologians, Right Wing Christian Political PACs ...

Yada: The only material difference between the Byzantines and the Roman Catholics at the time was who was empowered. Getting killed over an allegiance to a variation of a religion or a choice in popes, isn’t good—especially when the Church was an essential element of the “overbearing political systems of their day.”

In Nazi Germany, some priests were killed for opposing Hitler, but very few by comparison to Protestant preachers. Moreover, the Church in Rome accommodated Hitler, as they did the Ustashi Fascists who murdered 800,000 Serbian Christians with priestly assistance during WWII.

Catholicism played an insignificant role in the takeover of Communist Russia. And while there was some struggle waged by the Russian Orthodox Church, for the most part they capitulated to survive.

The preponderance of Liberation Theologians are Roman Catholics. And you could count on one hand (and not use any fingers) the number of Catholic “bishops who were exiled and/or killed point blank for challenging… Right Wing Christian Political PACs.”

This is an embarrassingly poor rebuttal, Cantor. Isolated examples of some people acting appropriately, doesn’t provide any proof that an institution is essentially good. And the “we were just one of many evil institutions claiming God’s authority,” is hardly a defense, especially considering the scale, reach, and longevity of the RCC. More telling still, each of your arguments thus far come directly out of the Muslim playbook and read like the thousands of letters we have received from Islamic apologists.

CTR: Babylonian Rites: I am not aware of any Babylonian rites in Catholicism, especially Byzantine Catholicism/Orthodoxy.

Yada: Your ignorance of them is irrelevant. But should you what to know, read The Two Babylons by Alexander Hislop. Over the course of 300 pages, he documents hundreds of them. And while there have been those who have nipped around the edges regarding his findings, the overwhelming preponderance of what he revealed has never been refuted—nor can it be refuted.

Beyond Hislop, read the “God Damn Religion” volume of Yada Yahweh (free at www.Yadayahweh.com). There, knowledge will replace ignorance. You will find that the six examples I gave in Prophet of Doom represent the edge of the swamp.

CTR: Our Divine Liturgy (what the West calls the “Mass”) is a combination service of two separate services: the Synagogue Liturgy or the Readings and Teaching of the Holy Scriptures…

Yada: The “Catholic Mass” featuring its round cakes of bread, was first practiced in Babylon and Assyria, where a divine liturgy was offered to the Queen of Heaven and Mother of God. There is no Scriptural justification for it because there is no correlation between the Miqra’ of Matsah and the Catholic Mass. This is called an “abomination to Yahuweh” in Jeremiah 44.

As it relates to “readings and teachings of the holy Scriptures,” for centuries the Catholic clergy insisted in delivering them in Latin, a language not one person in a thousand understood. For centuries, the Catholic Church hunted down and killed anyone with a copy of Scripture written in the common language of the people. And most recently, the Roman Catholic Church issued a decree which stated that Yahweh’s name must not be spoken in the “divine liturgy.” Since Yahweh inserted His name 7,000 times in the Torah, Prophets, and Psalms, and since He said that it was “blasphemy to bring His name to naught,” this religious teaching is a direct contradiction with Yahweh’s explicit instructions. So, either God is right or man is right. Since they both can’t be right, I’m going to side with Yahweh. You obviously, have made a different choice.


CTR: …and the Last Supper when our Lord, not politicians, asked us to “Do this in memory of me”. Christians have been doing both for an entire millennium before Medieval Catholicism.

Yada: The notion of a “Last Supper” is a Catholic counterfeit, one designed to replace Passover. Yahushua was celebrating Pesach, which is what He wanted us to do in remembrance of Him. There is no reference to a Last Supper in Scripture. And this would make the basis and claims of the Catholic Eucharist errant. Adding insult to injury, the RCC made it a crime to follow the Messiyah’s example of observing Passover, killing those who did.

The first Followers of the Way followed the Messiyah Yahushua’s example and they observed the seven Called-Out Assemblies. It wasn’t until the birth of Catholicism under General/Emperor Constantine, that pagan rites replaced Godly instructions.


CTR: Christmas: “Christ’s Mass” or the liturgy of the Nativity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is an annual celebration of his Incarnation, taking on bodily form and dwelling among us (nine months after the Church celebrates the Annunciation on March 25). God is with us! It did not originate out of the pagan festivals of December 25, but was originally a part of the Christian observance of Theophany (Epiphany), and Church feast commemorating our Lord’s Baptism in the River Jordan by the Baptist. The Church later moved the Nativity part to December 25 because Christians WERE taking part in the pagan festivals and the Church had to combat this tendency of those who were/are CINO (Christians in name only). This is no different than today.

Yada: Your choice of names and titles is a legacy of the religion which has corrupted you. Yahweh hates the title “Lord” because it is Satan’s title and it defines the devil’s ambitions. (You may want to read Hosea in Hebrew is you are unaware of Yahweh’s disdain for Lord.) Religious men copyedited Yahweh’s Scriptures, replacing Yahweh with Lord 7,000 times.

“Jesus” is a man made name circa the seventeenth century. It has no Scriptural basis. The Savior is Yahushua, meaning Yah Saves. At best, “Jesus” is simply wrong. At worst, it is a transliteration of “Gesus,” the Horned One of the Druid religion.

There is no rational basis for “Christ.” It isn’t the Savior’s last name, as in “Jesus Christ.” The title is not written out on any page of the 70 pre-Constantine first-, second-, and third-century Greek manuscripts of the Renewed Covenant for a reason—one neither you nor the Church understands. Further, if it were a title, not a word, then the title should be transliterated Messiyah. If it is just a common descriptive word, then it should be translated as such, placed before Yahushua, and not capitalized. Further, the basis of the word in Greek meant “drugged,” and it still has a legacy in pharmaceuticals.

There is no reference to God being born in Scripture, because Yahushua has always exited. That is one of many reasons that there is no mention of Yahushua or His disciples celebrating Christmas. It is obvious that neither you nor the Catholic Church understands why Isaiah predicted “Unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given.” Scripture says nothing about celebrating His nativity because it was unrelated to our salvation. Moreover, John told us that “the Word became flesh…and Tabernacled with us.” In keeping with the promise of the Miqra’ey, God camped out with man right when He predicted He would. If it were rational, beneficial, or appropriate (which it is not) to celebrate the birth of God, then it would be on Sukah/Tabernacles-Shelters, contemplating all Yahweh has to say about this Called-Out Assembly.

The Church’s celebration of the annunciation on March 25 has its roots in Babylonian paganism. That was at the Spring Equinox when Astarte, the Queen of Heaven and the Mother of God was impregnated by the sun, giving birth nine months later at the Winter Solstice (which was December 25th at the time) to the son of the sun. They called this celebration Easter, after Astarte, the woman who became the model for the Roman Catholic Mary. She became the Madonna—the Mother and Child. She had special prayers spoken to her, very similar to the Rosary. Her son was called Tammuz—the Son of the Sun.

The Romans also celebrated the birth of the son of the Sun on December 25th, calling the day the Saturnelia—after the pagan god Saturn. So, the Roman Catholic Church created a religious holiday without Scriptural justification and then modeled and dated it after the pagan practices of Babylon and Rome. Yahweh says that following the religious practices and customs of pagan nations is an abomination. Christmas is an abomination to God.

Yahweh has seven essential dates He wants observed—only one of which Catholicism even acknowledges. And in their place, Catholicism has created their own festivals based upon Babylon to replace them.

CTR: Easter: “Easter” is the pagan celebration of Ishtar, the goddess of fertility; often depicted as a rabbit. The proper name for the annual celebration of Jesus’ Resurrection is Pascha. This is a carryover from the Jewish Passover. Jesus is our New Passover. Again, paganized Christians adopted Easter as a name, not the Catholic Church. That “Easter” and not “Pascha” is used in the Churches is a result of stupidity.

Yada: Yes, Easter is completely pagan—right down to the name, customs, date, day of the week, and trimmings. So why does the Roman Catholic Church promote such a pagan celebration as holy when they are obviously wrong?

Speaking of wrong, the annual celebration of Yahushua’s resurrection is FirstFruits, not Pesach. He resolved the consequence of sin by being the Passover Lamb on Pesach. He resolved the penalty of sin by allowing His soul to descend into Sheowl on Unleavened Bread the following day, on the Sabbath. And He fulfilled the Miqra’ of Bikuwrym with His resurrection. Yahweh summons us to observe these Festival Feasts on the 14th, 15th, and 16th of Abyb.

However, as a result of Roman Catholic indoctrination, you don’t know any of this. For example, Passover isn’t “Jewish,” but instead Yahweh’s. There is no “New Passover,” and if there were, it wouldn’t be Easter. Last time I read the Renewed Covenant, Yahushua said that He did not come to annul anything in the Torah, Prophets, and Psalms, but instead to completely fulfill them. Catholics must have missed that part.

I am pleased, however, to know that when the pope calls Easter the holiest day, that he is “stupid.” At least we agree on something.

CTR: Lent: Fasting is found often in the Bible. Jesus tells us that some things can only be accomplished by prayer and fasting. What is wrong with doing what our Lord and Savior instructs us to do? Fasting is always done before a major feast day of the Church; feasting is done afterwards.

Yada: Lent is a direct derivative of the Babylonian religion. Astarte’s husband, Nimrod, renamed Tammuz, died a violent death. The forty days of Lent are a tribute to his suffering. He was killed by a wild boar, which is the reason behind the Easter ham. So, by observing Lent, you are doing the opposite of what Yahweh instructed you to do—following in the customs of pagans.

Now, if you want to fast, fine. Do so. But don’t attribute the fasting to a pagan god as is the case with Lent.

CTR: That Christians choose to fast instead of partying before Christmas (the Nativity of our Lord) and Easter (Pascha) is to live differently than the pagans who party and celebrate BEFORE then simply dump the festivities within 24 hours as if they had enough. Catholic Christians continue celebrating our Lord’s feasts for days, if not weeks.

Yada: We have already established that Christmas and Easter are pagan religious celebrations. And there are no fasts among Yahweh’s seven Called-Out Assemblies. In fact, most of them are Festival Feasts. Further, the Catholic Church only celebrates one of Yahweh’s seven Feasts, and even it on the wrong day, by the wrong name, in the wrong way, and for the wrong reasons, in direct conflict with your inference. So once again, a fast before Easter and Christmas is a pagan custom—one born and bred in Babylon.


CTR: Priesthood: Having dedicated offices is nothing new in the Judeo-Christian tradition.

Yada: Yahushua hated those who called themselves priests. The only Scriptural reference to such an office is based upon being a Levite—of which the Catholics are not, nor were the rabbis.

CTR: Confession: Our Lord commissioned his disciples to forgive sins, not a Medieval politician.

Yada: Confession the way it is practiced in Roman Catholicism is a direct derivative of the Babylonian religion. According to Scripture, a religious priest has no authority to forgive.

CTR: Worship of the Virgin Mary: Catholics do not “worship” Mary. This accusation is incorrect and just as insulting as Muslims considering the infidel Christians as being polytheists simply because they believe and baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Mary, the Mother of God (Theotokos), was the first Christian whose response, “Do according to me as You will”, takes seriously our Lord’s Prayer, “Let Thy Will be done.” Those who keep trying to convey falsehood by stating that Catholics worship Mary need to demonstrate that. The issue of worship and veneration was brought up long time ago and the Church differentiated between WORSHIP, which belongs to God alone, and VENERATION (dulia and hyperdulia), which is accorded to His saints.

Yada: When people bow down and pray to someone in a religious setting and before a statue, it is worship. Scripture explicitly condemns this practice. Further, the statues to Mary are a direct infraction of the Second Commandment.

As stated earlier, Mary’s Catholic titles, Madonna and Child, Queen of Heaven, and Mother of God are Babylonian, not Scriptural. There is no connection between Yahushua’s prayer and prayers to Mary. Yahushua asked us to pray to our Heavenly Father—never to Mary. He said that His Heavenly Father’s name was set-apart—the very name Roman Catholics now ban.

Yahweh does not want to be worshiped. That is why He established a Covenant with Abraham. He asked him to leave Babylon—something Catholics are unwilling to do. He asked Him to walk with Him, talk with Him, and be upright with Him. The message of Scripture is that Yahweh bowed down to us in love, standing up for us in the fulfillment of Passover, Unleavened Bread, and FirstFruits so that we could stand with Him. Those who bow down before God are being judged.

There are no “saints” in Scripture. Veneration of those who are dead is an abomination according to Scripture. The heart of the problem is that the Catholic Church is ignorant of what it means to be “set apart.” It is why you errantly refer to the Spirit as “Holy,” when Yahweh says that She is the “Set-Apart Spirit.”

Muhammad and his pretend God were confused by the Catholic Trinity—as well they should be. There is no Trinity in Scripture. Yahweh is one. Yahushua and the Set-Apart Spirit aren’t unique personas, personalities, or entities. They are simply diminished manifestations of Yahweh set apart from Him to serve us. Again, you don’t understand the Scriptural concepts of what it means to be set apart or to be called out.


CTR: The Bible is also venerated (kissed), but that does not mean Catholics worship the Bible as some Bible idolaters (Bible worshippers) do. The Church existed from Pentecost for several decades BEFORE the first letters of Paul and the first Gospel books were even written.

Yada: “Bible” comes from the name of a pagan sun goddess, which is why Yahushua referred to the Scriptures as the “Torah, Prophets, and Psalms.” Unlike Catholics, He did not kiss these scrolls. He explained His mission through them.

There is no “Church” in Scripture. There is an ekklesia—a called-out assembly. It was based upon the Miqra’ey—Called Out Assemblies—of which the Festival Feast of Seven Sabbaths is one.

Those who came to know, trust, and rely upon Yahushua and the path He provided to heaven by way of His fulfillment of Pesach, Matsah, and Bikuwrym called themselves “Followers of the Way—not “Christians.”

Based upon the evidence contained in the 70 first-, second-, and third-century manuscripts of the Renewed Covenant, Paul’s first letters were written within twenty years of Yahushua’s fulfillment of the Miqra’ey—not several decades. John’s Revelation was penned in 69 CE, and there is considerable evidence that the four eyewitness accounts were written much earlier than that. Further, there is no Scriptural basis for Gospel. God does not cast spells.

The fact that there was a period of time before the Renewed Covenant Writings were available is irrelevant, because Scripture was and is comprised of the Torah, Prophets, and Psalms. The first Followers of the Way had all they needed to understand Yahweh, understand Yahushua, understand the Called-Out Assemblies, and understand the seven-step plan of salvation Yahweh had provided and fulfilled.

CTR: Symbols: Many ARE embarrassed by the Cross. Invading Muslims don’t need to bother taking down crosses from church buildings; many Christians are much obliged to rid of such an embarrassment. Need I say more?

Yada: This may be your weakest argument yet. The fact that some people may not like the cross has nothing to do with its religious origin.

The truth is, an infinitesimal percentage of Christians are “embarrassed” by the cross—although all should be. Not only isn’t there a “cross” in Scripture, the symbol is pagan, emanating from the same Babylonian religious myths which brought us Lent, Easter, and Christmas. It is derived from Tammuz, whose mother, Astarte, was allegedly impregnated by the sun when it crossed the equator at the spring equinox. At this time, the sun is in the constellation of Taurus the Bull, which is why sun gods are often depicted this way—circa the golden calf of Egyptian and Exodus fame. The scientific symbols for men and women bear the symbols of the sun, its impregnating ray, and a cross to this day. This was also the origin of hot cross buns.

The Scriptural term is stauros, a derivative of histemi. Stauros means “upright pole.” Histemi means “to stand so as to enable others to stand, establishing them upright.” Yahushua is the “Upright One.” These are all essential Covenant and Salvation concepts. But all of this meaning was lost when a Catholic cleric decided to replace upright pole in the Renewed Covenant Writings with crux in the sixth century.

Christianity’s symbol first migrated to the cross when the pagan, sun god worshiping general/emperor Constantine looked up at the sun (his god, named Mithras) and saw a cross (his god’s primary symbol) superimposed on it, hearing the devil say: “Under this sign conquer.” As a result, in Yahushua’s seven open prophetic letters to what were at the time mostly insignificant called-out assemblies in Revelation, the three assemblies associated with Catholicism were called “the seat of Satan,” said to be “married to Lord/Ba’al,” and “dead.” It is in honor of Constantine’s sun god that Yahweh’s instruction, and Yahushua’s example of observing the Sabbath was replaced by Sunday—the Lord’s Day (with the Lord being Satan).


CTR: Festivals: The Annunciation, the Nativity of our Lord, the Presentation of our Lord into the Temple, the Baptism/Theophany of our Lord, the Transfiguration of our Lord, the Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem of our Lord, the Crucifixion of our Lord, the Resurrection of our Lord, the Ascension of our Lord, Pentecost. I would like to know what pagan festivals these originated from?

Yada: The Catholic Festivals of the Annunciation, the Nativity, the Triumphal Entry, and Resurrection have more in common with the Babylonian religion than with Scripture—and that is where they originated. While we haven’t yet discussed “the Triumphal Entry,” it didn’t occur on “Sunday,” and there were no “Palms” involved—as these elements were Babylonian. His arrival occurred four days before Passover, in harmony with the Miqra’ instructions. While it is immaterial, in 33, it was “branch” (the symbol of the Messiyah, rather than the “palm” which was used to honor the Babylonian gods and clerics) Monday.

Yahweh summons us to attend seven Called-Out Assemblies. They alone, according to God provide the lone, narrow, and unpopular path to heaven. They are what Yahushua came to fulfill. Yet only one of the seven dates on the Yahweh’s list of Festivals is celebrated by Roman Catholics, and even it is under the wrong name, at the wrong time, and for the wrong reason. Catholics completely ignore Yahweh’s instructions to observe Passover, Unleavened Bread (the most essential as it relates to our salvation), FirstFruits, Trumpets, Reconciliations, or Shelters. There is no Scriptural justification for ignoring Yahweh’s Called-Out Assemblies, and there is no Scriptural justification for celebrating Yahushua’s arrival at the Temple, His transfiguration, or His ascension.

The bottom line is that Roman Catholics, and most Orthodox and Protestant denominations following their bad example, have created a religion whose roots lie in Babylonian customs. They have given corrupted biblical names to festivals celebrated by pagans. And in the process, they have replaced, without any Scriptural authority, Yahweh’s instructions, symbols, and plan of salvation with ones conceived by man. They are at best counterfeits and corruptions. They have become the broad, popular, manmade path which leads to death and destruction of the soul.

It is as simple as this: a religion which contradicts in material ways the Scriptures upon which it claims to derive its authority is false and unreliable. That is the only informed and rational conclusion. If Yahweh can be trusted, the Catholic Church cannot be. And if Yahweh cannot be trusted, the Scriptures upon which the Catholic Church claims its authority are unreliable, making its corruption of them unreliable. It is a lose-lose affair for all Catholics which their souls at stake.


CTR: Doctrines: Belief in God, the Trinity, Salvation, Redemption, His Church, Baptism ... Not necessarily pagan or political beliefs. Christians often died as martyrs for their faith. This is worth dying for.

Cantor JT

Yada: Even Satan believes in God, and that won’t save Him. According to Scripture, one must come to know Yahweh as He revealed Himself, come to trust His Word, come to understand and then rely upon the seven-step plan of Salvation He laid out and then fulfilled with His Called-Out Assemblies.

The “Trinity” is purely Babylonian. It comes directly from the source of Easter and Christmas—of the sun’s impregnation mother earth, Astarte, who became the Queen of Heaven and the Mother of God, leading to the birth of the son of the sun. This trinity morphed from Babylon, to Egypt, to Greece, to Rome and then to Roman Catholicism.

Yahweh is one. Yahushua is an identity designation and a mission statement for the diminished set-apart manifestation of Yah. The Set-Apart Spirit is just as Her name implies.

Salvation comes by way of relying upon Yahweh’s seven-step plan—all of which is concealed and corrupted by Roman Catholicism. “Redemption” occurs on the Miqra’ of Matsah, as Yahushua’s soul went to Sheowl in our place, ransoming us. Roman Catholicism completely ignores the Called-Out Assembly of Unleavened Bread, affirming that no Roman Catholic following the Church’s teachings, has ever been redeemed.

There is no “Church” in Scripture—only an ekklesia—called-out assembly. There is no correlation between the Roman Catholic Church and Yahweh’s ekklesia—called-out assembly because there is no correlation between Yahweh’s miqra’ey—called-out assemblies and Roman Catholicism. The Miqra’ey serve as the basis of the Ekklesia—which is why the words share the same meaning.

Infant “baptism,” as it is practiced in the RCC, is based upon the Babylonian religion. It isn’t Scriptural. Water baptism is nothing more than an outward affirmation of being reborn spiritually from above by way of the Set-Apart Spirit. Water baptism does not save anyone.

“Christian” was an epithet. The basis of the word in Greek meant “drugged and whitewashed.” “Martyr’s” Greek basis means “witness,” which unlike dying for a pagan religion is a good thing.

Your last statement is among your most errant. The message of Yahweh’s Scripture is the opposite of a religion worth dying for. You have reversed God’s role and man’s and have confused a loving relationship for a pagan religion.

While I hold no hope for you, Cantor, as you are too religious to accept the truth, my hope is that others, less indoctrinated, better informed, and more rational than you will come to recognize that the religion of Roman Catholicism, and its stepchild, Protestant Christianity, are inconsistent with Yahweh’s Word and Yahushua’s example, and thus cannot be trusted. My hope is that they will come out of Babylon and come to Yahweh by way of the path He provided before it is too late.

And should I be wrong about you, Cantor, my hope is that you set down Prophet of Doom, stop defending your religion, and invest the time to read Yada Yahweh, free at www.YadaYahweh.com. The truth is vastly superior to the deception you have been supporting.

In Yahweh’s Name,

Yada

Prophet of Doom & Yada Yahweh
