Counterfeit Christianity – How Ancient Paganism Mixed with Christianity

Counterfeit Christianity How Ancient Paganism Mixed with Christianity




Have you ever wondered how God intended to end all this business of running His universe?
Did you ever stop to think that God knew how everything would become before He created a thing?

Did you ever wonder how the teaching of eternal punishment came to be in our Holy Bible?

If it is the will of God that none should perish, but all should come to eternal life. Is almighty God able to fulfill His purpose in the earth or does His plan rest upon the weak and uncertain will of man?

Would a loving, fair, merciful Heavenly Father ever allow His creation to be tortured forever in the flames of hell? His character would not agree to it; His power and sovereignty would not allow it; and His revealed Word of Truth does not teach it.

"For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive." if the first statement is true, then follows that second statement must also be true.
Capt's methodical research of the early Christian Church, and the later alterations of early biblical translations, will test everything you thought you believed about Christianity. Whether you are in full agreement or not, this is a book you cannot put down.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Where did the doctrine of a burning hell originate – from Scripture or from pagan religions?

In his book, Mr. Capt discusses this question from the standpoint of Scripture and early church history. He also deals with such questions as: What will be the fate of those who "die in their sins," never having received the salvation provided by Christ? (This would include the vast majority of God's creation.) Will He confine them to a place of everlasting punishment to be tortured in a burning fire as most modern churches teach? As a Christian, I always wondered about that. It didn't seem to be fair. Not every person has the same opportunities to know about Christ, either because of his place of birth, his family situation, etc. Mr. Capt presents compelling arguments to prove that the very character of God (perfect justice, mercy and love) would not permit this gruesome punishment. What, then, will be their ultimate fate? This subject is also dealt with at length in the book, and the answer will bring both hope and comfort to many people.

5 Stars Untold story of the Bible
This is a book everyone calling themselves christians should read and find out for the first time what a real loving God is instead of a monstor.

5 Stars The parental character of God – one of the strong arguments presented by Mr. Capt to disprove the doctrine of eternal punishment
God, as our Father, and we, as His children set an example for our own earthly parent/child relationships. Mr. Capt presents a valid argument that a good, loving earthly parent administers punishment (correction) in order to bring about repentance and restoration to obedience. A father would never torture his child for his entire life for disobedience. God, our Father, being perfect goodness and love would do no less to us, His children. Mr. Capt demonstrates that the doctrine of hell fire had its roots in pagan religions and cannot be backed up by a thorough study of Scripture. Other convincing evidence is presented to show the error of this doctrine. It is well worth reading his book, but be ready to be challenged about what you have always been taught in modern churches concerning eternal punishment in a fiery hell.

    Sounds like a great book, and the points made above are right on.

    I've actually written an entire book on the topic of eternal punishment–Hell? No! Why You Can Be Certain There's No Such Place As Hell, (for anyone interested, you can get a free ecopy of Did Jesus Believe in Hell?, one of the most compelling chapters in my book at http://www.thereisnohell.com), but if I may, I'd like to add one more point to the several goods that have already been made above–that there's substantial evidence contained in the gospels to show that Jesus opposed the idea of Hell.

    For example, in Luke 9:51-56, is a story about his great disappointment with his disciples when they actually suggested imploring God to rain FIRE on a village just because they had rejected him. His response: "You don't know what spirit is inspiring this kind of talk!" Presumably, it was NOT the Holy Spirit. He went on, trying to explain how he had come to save, heal and relieve suffering, not be the CAUSE of it.

    So it only stands to reason that this same Jesus, who was appalled at the very idea of burning a few people, for a few horrific minutes until they were dead, could never, ever burn BILLIONS of people for an ETERNITY!

    True, there are a few statements that made their way into the copies of copies of copies of the gospel texts which place "Hell" on Jesus' lips, but these adulterations came along many decades after his death, most likely due to the Church filling up with Greeks who imported their belief in Hades with them when they converted.

    Bear in mind that the historical Protestant doctrine of the inspiration of the Scriptures applies only to the original autographs, not the copies. But sadly, the interpolations that made their way into those copies have provided a convenient excuse for a lot of people to get around following Jesus' real message.
