I am a beginner in Theology. I am writing out what I am learning and discovering. This writing is subject to future editing and updating.
Tammuz is the both the name of the Cross in Christian literature and culture as well as the name of an ancient deity in Babylon that was a shepherd. Centuries later, in the days of Jesus of Nazareth, the Tammuz was a symbol to be feared not embraced.
The story of Jesus Christ as written is about a man who actually sinned in the eyes of the government of his time, and he was violently bound to Tammuz, the Cross as a shepherd of people… a false leader to the formal, organized government of the peoples he was born of.
Was Jesus Christ holy himself? Is he a deity? A human being to be worshiped and followed?
The message Jesus Christ told his followers and general public is that he was dying for the sins of all people. What is not spoken of enough, is that he was labeled a sinner, a real criminal to a whole region of people, beyond his cities and nation. All leaderships (including some of his own followers) voted and insisted he needed to pass away violently and publicly. That is disturbing! As he carried a heavy cross–one of the biggest and heaviest ever through the town he was jeered at, yelled at, spat upon and people turned away from him.
What did we not understand of the message of he, this Jesus of Nazareth? His daily life was to beg for money, food and places to sleep at night. He was NOT known to ask for work. He was also shown to create great miracles to impress and scare people. He worked to turn people away from the local and state government laws and follow his own way of doing things. He essentially created a cult following and performed what in those days was considered witchcraft and black magic–both condemned by high authorities as near as Israel and far as Egypt and across the Ottoman Empire.
What were called miracles in the time of Jesus of Nazareth were known also as black magic and witchcraft. In Egypt, only very educated high officials were allowed by government to perform these extraordinary acts.
Certainly his mother cried for him. He was her son. In today’s world it could be interpreted that he was a creation of her, though The Bible that has his story says, he was NOT her real son, just a son of God. (I wonder now, did he ever pray to the cross or Tammuz for help instead of the One God of the Jews or Egyptians who mostly prayed to the Sun God?)
“Immaculate conception.” Clear creation? Was Jesus Christ an invention of the government to teach people in person what they do not want people to do? Is it possible he and his story is propaganda?
I wonder openly about Jesus Christ, Jesus of Nazareth… if he never performed black magic or something that looked like witchcraft in his time he would have lived to an old age instead of a violent death bound to Tammuz before he was middle aged? He appears to have died for his sins, sacrificed for his sins as leader in activism.
Would Jesus Christ have been so named if he were not most shamefully bound to Tammuz in death? Would he have been such an important figure in religious literature if he hadn’t gone to the maximum sentencing by the government of his time?
If Jesus did live, do we need him back again? Do we all need someone new to live on planet Earth and “die for all our sins” as they and we “pray to god”?
