It has to do with money issues!
The Roman Empire’s religion was the FREE WORSHIP of a variety of classical Gods. Caesar was also worshiped as God. The traditional Jewish FIRST Commandment, “THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GOD” was amended for the Christians. Jesus is teaching to GIVE FIRST TO CAESAR GOD what belongs to him and any left over give it to the JEWISH GOD (Mat 22:21) Christians also approved eating PORK! These major changes of the Jewish religion helped Christianity to be acceptable in the Roman Empire in a smooth transition of power, from Caesar God to the Pope. By then, EVERYBODY HAD TO SUBMIT TO THE CHRISTIAN CLERGY, like in the Bible stories (Deu 17:8-12).
Acts 10:15-16 (NIV) The VOICE spoke to him* (*to Saint Peter, the 1st Pope) a second time, “Do not call anything impure* (*all kinds of porky animals) that God has made clean.”* (*THE INTELLIGENT DESIGNER BIBLE GOD finally cleansed ALL DIRTY ANIMALS. Saint Peter and all Christians can now eat pork!). This happened three times* (*for each member of the Holy Trinity!) and IMMEDIATELY the sheet* (*full of PIGS and all sorts of unclean or dirty animals) WAS TAKEN BACK TO HEAVEN.
“HEAVEN” IS FULL OF PIGS, a real Paradise for ham and bacon eating Christians! No religious Jew would want to go HEAVEN! In his HOLY DREAM Saint Peter learned that everything that he knew as a Jew is WRONG! Jesus ALREADY made “ALL FOODS CLEAN” once before (Mark 7:19), but he must have forgotten. The VERY FIRST PERSON to hear the GOOD NEWS about Saint Peter’s dream was a ROMAN Centurion! The NT writers made it clear that Saint Peter, under Saint Paul’s pressure is willing to sacrifice his Jewish lifestyle to make Christianity acceptable in the ROMAN Empire (Gal 2:11-15). SAINT PETER IS NOW ROMAN CATHOLIC! It was not an easy transition! Saint Paul is warning MATURE CHRISTIANS to avoid getting CAUGHT IN THE ACT like Saint Peter was or even like Jimmy Swaggart attending any Brothel/Temple because of the Puritan orientation that the new Christian religion was taking! (1 Cor 8:9-10, 5:1-2)
Matthew 21:31 (NIV) Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth* (*NO BULL CRAP!), THE TAX COLLECTORS* (*for the Roman Empire) and THE PROSTITUTES* (*all kinds of male, female, gay and lesbian prostitutes) ARE ENTERING* (*they were getting into “Heaven” BEFORE Jesus was nailed to any Holy Cross!) THE KINGDOM OF GOD AHEAD OF YOU* (*straight Jews).
Saint Peter got the idea!
1 Peter 1:19-20 …with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot* (*but full of ROMAN soldiers’ spit as evidence of ROMAN superiority over “The King of the Jews”): who verily* (*NO BULL CRAP!) was FOREORDAINED BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD…
The whole idea of a “FATHER GOD” creating this HUMONGOUS UNIVERSE was to have his ONLY BEGOTTEN SON JESUS CHRIST beaten up to a pulp and covered in ROMAN soldiers’ spit before nailing him totally naked to a HOLY ROMAN CROSS in full submission to the ROMAN authorities! There is no record that the Roman soldiers EVER dressed their victims’ genital area in a white diaper! In most civilized countries planning to have anybody killed like that is a FIRST CLASS PREMEDITATED MURDER that Christians enthusiastically support in their religion hoping to spend zillions of years with this SADISTIC GOD when they die!
Saint Peter is given FULL credit for setting up the current 10% take of the Christians’ gross income to support their “spiritual” leaders!
Acts 5:1-11 “Then the young men came in and, finding her dead* (*at Saint Peter’s feet for FAILURE TO PAY THE FULL PROMISED MONEY TO THE CHURCH), carried her out and buried her beside her husband!* (*without telling any of their kids at home!) GREAT FEAR SEIZED THE WHOLE CHURCH AND ALL WHO HEARD ABOUT THESE EVENTS…”* (*the real MAFIA is known to give a few fair warnings BEFORE they cut down anybody, not so the Bible God!)
Saint Paul bragged about his Roman citizenship! He was careful to instruct the ROMAN Christians TO PAY TAXES AND TO OBEY THE ROMAN CAESAR GOD who later on became Pope!
ROMANS 13:1-7 (KJV) …For this cause PAY YE TRIBUTE* (*TAXES. First to Caesar God like Jesus said!) also: for they are God's ministers* (*the ROMAN government works for “GOD” and that is why we all must pay taxes…), attending CONTINUALLY UPON THIS VERY THING* (*some stubborn Christians were fed to the lions at the Roman Circus, for not getting the FULL message!)
…ISLAM IS MUCH WORSE!
In all the contributions that the Jews made to humanity… sh*t happens… they are also responsible for writing the Bible stories that are used by all brands of the Christian and Muslim religions making billions of Dollars bringing so many wars, pain and suffering into our world and on themselves! (KARMA?)
