Ten Things We Believe As Christians That Are Very Different From Reality. by Foxrain: 9:17pm On Apr 13, 2017
In the spirit of the Good Friday, here are ten things you grew up believing as a Christian that are actually far from the truth.

1 The three wise men never existed..... Wise men from the east visited Jesus, but there was never any indication about their number.

2 Angels are not beautiful..... Often we make references like "you look like an angel " but what most of us don't know is that angels seldom have the face of a human.Some have the face of horses, lions and birds.

3 Mary Magdalene was not a prostitute..... There were two places in the New Testament, Jesus had interactions with two harlots. But none of them were called Mary Magdalene, infact both women were nameless. Mary Magdalene was a woman Jesus delivered of seven demons, that's about it.

4 Virgin Mary does not exist. Mary the mother of Jesus went on to have other children with her husband Joseph. Jesus had brothers and sisters.

5 Jesus was not nailed on his palms, he was nailed on the wrist. Contrary to what you see on biblical movies and statues, he was actually nailed on the wrist.

6 Sunday is not actually the Sabbath day. Saturday is the last day of the week. Christians converted Sunday as the Sabbath day because it was a day the heathens paid tribute to their sun gods.They figured that if they replaced this day with a day of Christian worship, people will be less likely to go back to their pagan practices.

7 The image of the lord is actually the image of Zeus. When christians took over, they began to convert every tool used by pagan worshippers to their own advantage. The image you see of an old man depicting the lord is actually the image of Zeus.

8 Jesus was actually not a white man.... The origin of Jesus buttressed the fact, he had black origin. Some time ago, the real image of Jesus was discovered from the painting of him long ago and he was not a long haired white man but a dark ,sturdy ,short haired man.The viral image of Jesus you see, is actually the face of an actor, who potrayed Jesus in an early 20th century movie.

9 The forbidden fruit Adam and Eve ate was not fornication as widely interpreted.... You might recall that the lord gave Adam and Eve permission to eat every other fruit from the garden except the tree of life. Does it mean He gave them permission to be intimate with lions, hyenas and what not, except themselves?

10 The concept of the statue of the virgin Mary was actually borrowed from multiple goddesses .The Egyptian moon goddess, the Greek virgin goddess and so many others. Below you will see the image of one of such goddesses and compare it to the statue.

11. Christianity is a universal religion - The whole of Christianity is a composite version of distorted fables and fairy tales.

60% of your assertions are wrong. Where do i start from to educate you?

For instance, Angels are beautiful and do not have faces of horses and animals like you want us to believe. Yes some angels have wings (Cherubims and Seraphims) while some don't. Some appear like humans. Examples abound in the bible (go and read bro).

Jesus was born into a Jewish lineage. Would you classify Jews as blacks or whites?

Mary is called Virgin Mary simply because she conceived Jesus Christ while she was a virgin and NOT because she remained a virgin all her life.

WHY CHRISTIANS WORSHIP ON SUNDAY

The Pentecost of Acts 2:1 fell on a Sunday (1st day)

1st Sunday is the weekly memorial of the new creation and our deliverance from sin.

1st Some over-zealous, but under-learned Sabbath keepers, will state the actual Greek words used in Acts 20:7 & 1 Cor 16:1 actually refer to the weekly Sabbath, not the first day of the week. They say "first day of the week" as all Bibles read, is a mistranslation. The only ones who say this are those who have no knowledge of Greek.

1st The Lord's Day is the first day of the week, the day Jesus rose from the dead.

1st History proves Christians always met on 1st Day and not the Sabbath, right back to the apostolic age. (33 AD) What is even more powerful is that early Christians called the first day, the Lord's Day because it was the day Jesus rose from the dead!

1st The primary meaning behind 1st day worship of Christ, is because that is the day Jesus rose from the dead! The Bible clearly teaches that Jesus was crucified on Friday and rose on the first day. Some Sabbatarian groups, comprehending the power of this argument, actually teach that Jesus was crucified on a Wednesday and raised on Saturday.

1st Sunday is not the "Christian Sabbath"! Most churches teach that Sunday is the Sabbath and worship on the first day of the week. These churches are doing the right thing for the wrong reason, and Sabbatarians take advantage of the doctrinal confusion!

Although most things you said were wrong, but let me clarify somethings
6. It wasn't the Christians that converted the sabath day to Sunday, but the Roman Catholics cult (Church of Satan)
7. If you were talking about Catholics, I will agree with you hundred percent that all the Roman Catholic images and statues are actually demons. Including all Catholic saints.
10. very true
