How amazing it is that many have believed that persuasion is more believable than to actually having a knowledge of something. They not knowing that with persuasion it's a form of certain doubt of what one is being persuaded by, it generate a sense of uncertainty where as having knowledge gives complete confidence because it gives you an understanding and a knowing of that thing in which you can rationalize and connect with through the understanding of that thing and of it's operation whereas persuasion you have to be convinced which leaves you unsure. Lets get the meaning of persuasion. Now the root word of persuasion is persuade which means: to move by argument, entreaty, or expostulation to a belief, position, or course of action and the synonym for persuade is to argue. Now keep in mind that one can be persuaded by trickery, lies and deceit, it doesn't have to be through facts or of truth but whatever it takes to convince someone that your point of view is believable and acceptable. Example if you KNOW(ledge) that 2+2=4 how can anyone convince you that it's 5 when you have the knowledge of it's true answer which is 4. No one has to persuade you or make you convinced that the answer is 4 because you know what the answer is but it would take persuasion and convincing to get you to believe that the answer is 5 which would be false. Now to get that person to believe that the answer is 5 would take much trickery and a drawn out method to alter the truth and facts.
Now this trickery and drawn out method is done in and through religion with much fabrications and alterations of truth and facts and replaced with lies and myths and the serving of these lies and myths with great conviction and convincing. Why would I have to argue or persuade someone that 2+2=4 when it's facts and truth would not the individual whose understanding has been altered believing the answer is 5 would not that individual argue and try to persuade and try to convince me that the answer is 5.
Now that we got the understanding that a form of persuasion is a form of deceit and how through religion one have been hoodwinked into believing one can operate by a form of convincing verses knowledge of and understanding of that leads to full confidence and stead fastness in that which is true undeniable with out being uncertain or unsure because of that knowledge and understanding.
Lets get into the deception of what's used to lead the masses into mythology ignorantly not knowing that they are pledging their allegiance to mythical deities of Roman and Greek mythology.
How is this so well lets lay the ground work. Now with the advent of the printing press of circa 1455's making of the Bibles. With this control they can put what they want into the scriptures. They can alter words and their meanings and change words into the names of their Sun-God deities and have the people worshipping their gods without them ever knowing it. So they would rewrite the scriptures to fit their religion, gradually key words will be replaced with new words having various shades of meaning in which after the changing of words with meanings can change the meaning of scripture. In 1841 AD there was two Greek manuscripts called the Codex Vaticanus and the Codex Sinaiticus of the Roman Catholic Church which omits at least 2,877 words; it added 536 words; it substituted 935 words; it transposed 2,098 words; and it modifies 1,132 words with a total 7,578 words that has been altered from the original manuscripts and the Sinaiticus is worse. These alterations are facts. Lets compare two precepts and you will see for yourself how the word changing alter the meaning of scripture and leads the people into worship of gods of mythology, now keep in mind we are dealing with a Greek translation and meaning of one word and a Hebrew translation and meaning of that same word.
Hab 2:4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
Rom 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Note: What Paul quotes in Rom 1:17 is what's written in Hab 2:4 but Paul left out one word and that word is "his" but that's not it. You would think cause what Paul quoted and using the same word "faith" that it would carry the same meaning right but it doesn't. The word faith in Hab 2:4 is a Hebrew word that's translated into a Greek word that altered the meaning of that word. Now keep in mind what I said earlier, how the translators altered the words and it's meanings. Now this word faith wasn't used until the 13th century in which it never existed in Hebrew nor Greek so to get a clear understanding of this we have to look to the word faith translated in it's language at the time it was used. Take into consideration that this word faith is used 209 times in the Bible 207 times in the NT and only 2 times in the OT that alone should raise red flags. Now in Romans 1:17 the word faith is Greek #4102 in the strong's concordance and it means persuasion, so hum.
Now lets get the Greek spelling of this word faith and find where did this originated from. Now this word faith has multiple meanings and spellings so lets get all of them and break them down. The first one is Pistis.
Pistis was a goddess of Greek mythology during the 6th century BC in which she was the personification of good faith, trust and reliability. She was thought to be a daughter of Zeus. The store behind her in Greek mythology was that she was a good spirit who escape pandora's box and fled back to heaven leaving mankind. In Roman mythology her name was Fides.
Fides is the goddess of trust in 2nd century BC in which her temple was used to kept the states treaties with other countries, she was to protect them. She is connected to the gods Jupiter and Dius Fidius. She's represented as a young woman that was crowned with an olive branch with a cup or turtle or military engraved in her hand. It's was said that she wears a white veil or stola and her priests wore white cloths her temple was near the temple of Jupiter in the capitol.
There's is also a goddess by the name of Pistis Sophia in the 2nd century in which in Christian mysticism she was regarded as the goddess of faith and wisdom and also in Hellenistic philosophy and religion and others.
There are two more in regards to faith and those two are peitho and pithos. Now lets look at these two cause it's about to get interesting.
Peitho in Greek mythology is the goddess of persuasion in which the word faith it self means. She is the one who personifies persuasion and seduction. Her Roman name is Suadela Pausanias She has connection to the goddess Aphrodite which is the goddess of love, beauty and sexuality. This shows the connection between persuasion and love. Now by knowing this you can understand why in these Institutes that women are targeted because they are the ones that are most easily to persuade and convince to give into the false worship of mythical gods. This faith is of Greek goddess of mythology.
Now Pithos is an instrument in which they stored money in. Wow so now you can understand how these false prophets use faith as a way of gaining wealth. They persuade the women to give up their money and rely on faith to supply their needs. Now you can understand how Fredric Price, TD Jakes (woman thou art loose), Eddie Long and the rest of these false prophets Creflo Dollar can sell you faith to store their faith in pithos (faith). They use this to build themselves wealth and riches why you rely in the goddess of persuasion, trust and love. You can understand why they tell you to sow your seed by faith (persuasion). They tell you to keep the faith (goddesses) while they run of with your money.
Like I said in the opening of this why would you need to be persuaded to believe something if you already know(ledge). They hoodwinked you by selling you false hope and dreams telling you that you must have faith. They have carried you into pagan worship of geek goddesses of mythology while they live the lavish life. So the next time your suppose to be pastor mention faith you will have a clear understanding that you must know the Most High and not be persuaded by man to follow after false gods. Then ask him/her what is faith and it's origin and see what they tell you. So can you see how they have incorporated mythology into the scriptures. The hands behind the pen. Don't fall for the deception of their lies to keep you away from the true Most High who created all things. So you don't need Pistis, Fides, Pistis Sophia, Peitho or Pithos to know the Most High.
I know I was suppose to do part 4 on church but that will be part 5 or 6 so until then Shalom.
