JEHOVISM | 2004-10-21
In 1803 the original church of the Pilgrims in Plymouth, Massachusetts became a Unitarian Church.
The Pilgrims, like the Puritans who came in slightly later, were rigid Old Testament Calvinists. They talked very little about Christ's Mercy. They concentrated on the vengeful, merciless JHWH, what we call Jehovah, of the Old Testament.
But the Pilgrim version of Jehovah didn't just kill people wholesale as he did in the Old Testament. The Pilgrim Jehovah was merciless in sending almost everybody to Hell for eternity. Christ's Mercy was a tiny asterisk at the end of the Old Testament.
So by 1803 the Pilgrims gave up Jesus completely and became Unitarians. To Unitarians, Jesus is just another prophet.
I seem to be only person who has noticed that Moslems are also Unitarians. "Allah" just means "God" in Arabic. They accept the Old Testament, and their Allah is Jehovah.
The Christian Maltese called their God "Allah" too.
When you concentrate so much on Jehovah, like so many fundamentalist Christians do, you begin to look at the New Testament as an asterisk on the Old Testament. Many who call themselves Christians are, in my opinion, Jehovists.
I hold to the faith of my own ancestors as my own Old Testament. Odinism was a primitive attempt to find the truth, just as the Old Testament is. The Magi were the clergy of the largest monotheistic faith of their day, Zoroastrianism. The Magi knew nothing of the Old Testament, but they accepted Christ while the Jews rejected Him. The holy book of the Magi was the Vesta.
It seems to me a natural developement that the Pilgrims became Unitarians. The Puritans also became largely Unitarian and then they became fanatical leftists. Their Christianity disappeared, but their fanaticism stayed.
