What about Myths?
Great
question! Let’s see what the Bible has to say. (January, 2020)

“7 But reject
profane and old wives' fables, and exercise yourself toward godliness.”
(1 Timothy 4:7)
“3 As I
urged you when I went into Macedonia--remain in Ephesus that you may charge
some that they teach no other doctrine, 4 nor give heed to
fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly
edification which is in faith.” (1 Timothy
1:3-4)
“3 For the time
will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own
desires, because they have
itching ears, they will heap up for themselves
teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. 5
But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an
evangelist, fulfill your ministry.” (2 Timothy 4:3-4)
God through Paul talks a lot about how
He hates the myths of all pagan/demon-embracing cultures, and warns all
God-fearing Bible-believers to flee those myths of the devil. Why? Because they
constantly falsely accuse God of things He doesn’t do and never would do, while
excusing the devil for his sins and crimes.
“12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation;
for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord
has promised to those who love Him. 13 Let no one say when he
is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil,
nor does He tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is
drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15 Then, when desire
has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings
forth death. 16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.”
(James 1:12-16)
You can find more of those teachings
in many places, here are just a few: 1st Timothy 3-4,specifically chapter 4, verses 6-8. You also find this
teaching even more explained in 2nd Timothy 3 and 4 and 1st
Timothy 6 (specifically chapter 6, verses20-21). Whenever you come across a “new” myth (usually
a rewrite of an old myth/pagan-religion), know this – God has already answered
that one in His Word, the Bible. All you have to do is find someone who knows
where that passage(s) is/are, or search for the answer yourself. The more of
these lies you answer from the Bible yourself, the more that makes you into the
God-fearing and honest leader and righteous judge that God wants you to be – as
His pure and holy-living ambassador to rebuke evil and defend the vulnerable
and honorable. (See Matthew 7:1-10)
What are “myths”? They are simply
repeats of old lifeless mythologies about lesser “gods” and “goddesses” that
have never existed and never will, but they have 2 levels to them. The first
level is that they are a demonic counterfeit to something God has made and
aimed to get people to worship demons or something in the created world rather
than worshipping the Creator (Romans 1:16-25). The second level is that they
are a distraction for humans – an illusion of choice, as it were. Myths and
legends are also used as a legend or fanciful tale about a living human that satan and his fellow demons wanted to make look great – even
as a “god”. The whole topic of “gods” and worship of idols is because the
demonically-driven leaders around us want to be worshipped and obeyed
absolutely as though they are actual “gods” and “goddesses”. You see this going
on way back to Nimrod (leader of the rebels against God in the building of the
Tower of Babel), then the Egyptian pharaohs, then again with the Babylonian,
Mede, Persian, Greek and Roman leaders, as well as the Arab leaders and the
Vikings and European royalties, etc, etc. All royalty and high-level leaders
who reject the Bible and refuse to submit to God, instead present themselves as
“lesser gods”, and are then promoted and covered-for by their false prophets
and prophetesses. Modern false prophets (and prophetesses) who cover for
leaders who want to be worshipped and served as “gods” are: Joel Osteen, TD
Jakes, Rick Warren, Joel Hunter, John MacArthur, John Piper, and Joyce Meyers,
Beth Moore, Jennifer Rothschild, Paula White, etc. Part of what these false
prophets play off of is like the Vatican Jesuit – Hitler. They pretend that this
individual (an antichrist – opposes Christ) made it into a position of
top-authority (on planet earth) and therefore they twist the Scripture that this
individual has the “right” to rule “from God” – and then they misquote passages
such as John 10:34 and mis-apply Romans 13 and 1st Peter chapters 2,3 and 5. But when they contradict God, God inspires people
to stand against them (Matthew 11:4-19, 1 Corinthians 10:3-5, Ephesians
5:11-13, Eph. 6). Those who live upright can stand up to any evil with His
authority, though these sin-led/demon-led people never acknowledge that. As satan rejects God’s authority – to their destruction and
judgment, so do they. The rebellious and evil leaders who should fear God and
do what’s right (and are not), show who they really are when they say the right
words but then do evil. And when the righteous who know Jesus and the Bible
claim those judgments against those evil leaders, the judgments and wrath of
God catch up to those leaders and God will oppose them (Matthew 18:6) –
according to His many promises on that subject. So, resist the evildoers and
leaders, in speech/text and prayer.
If you read any of the so-called “lost
books of the Bible”, 95+% of them are just myths about God and contradicting
the Bible. My team and I have investigated a lot of those myths – they are a
mostly useless to study, unless you are trying to catch a false teacher in his
lies because he is quoting from them. And, in addition to that, everything
coming out of the Jesuits-run Follywood (“Hollywood”) are
myths and lies and cover-ups of crimes. And it’s the same as the myths and old
false religions – they mock the Bible, try to pretend that God “sins too”, and
that all “gods” are the same, and that sin doesn’t matter, so do whatever you
want.
In reality and all honesty, there are
only 2 belief systems: 1) God and holiness, and 2) all of the other so-called
religions. Let’s look at that little more. In the beginning was God – He is
always telling 100% of the truth. In complete contrast, the father of lies(and
murderer from the beginning, and thief and destroyer, John 8 &10) – the
devil, is always only telling some of the truth, and in way would try to make
you question God and join satan’s team for your sin-wants and sin-fun. Remember,
satan is constantly – and yes I mean constantly,
repeating the lies he said to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden that led to
their fall:
“’Has God indeed said…’ ‘You will not
surely die…’ ‘and you will be like God, knowing good
and evil.’” (Genesis 3:1-5)
Jesus replied to satan’s
lies in John 10:
“10 The thief does not come except to
steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and
that they may have it more
abundantly. 11 I am the good
shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.”
(John 10:10-11)
So, there’s your two
belief systems – God, and all of satan’s counterfeits, lies and myths.
All false religions pretend that your sins aren’t crimes against God and
holiness, and yet he contradicts himself by adding some form of “good works”
system (including money) that helps you “atone” for the guilt of your sins by
trying to bribe God the Creator and Judge. All of these false religions are useless, because they cannot help you solve the problem of
the judgment against your sins. Remember, the first time you and I did
something that we knew was wrong, and did it willfully, we became a rebel and
enemy against God, and we’ve done way more than just one willful sin/crime
against God and holiness. The only way to get those crimes forgiven or covered
is by Jesus’ blood, through a covenant (which I call the “covenant of the
cross”).
About 2000 years ago, Jesus came as a
humble baby, died on the cross to pay for sin, rose the 3rd day as
the Jewish Messiah (and Savior of all who believe/trust in Him), and after
being seen by over 500 witnesses, He ascended to the right Hand of the Father (Hebrews
1:3). Jesus has always existed and you see many times He appeared in
pre-incarnate form to Abraham (Genesis 14, 18), Moses (Exodus 3), Joshua (Joshua
5:13-15), and Jesus in pre-incarnate form picked the location of what was to be
the Jewish Temple - planned by David and built by Solomon (2 Samuel
24:19), etc. Whenever you see the English phrase “The Angel of the Lord” – that’s
Jesus. God also tells us in Genesis 14 and Hebrews 7, that Jesus actually ruled
over a city called “Salem” as Melchizedek, teaching holiness to people and
helping whoever would listen, to get right with God. Point being – Jesus wasn’t
“born” when He came – He is God and always has been, as John 1 makes so clear,
and many places in the Book of John. So, Jesus came down, put on human flesh (John
1:14) “a tent” as God through Peter calls it, and then rose again – as God. Only
Jesus’ human body died – God did not die as some modern myths pretend. Point
being – Jesus is God, always has been, and is our only The
only way to get saved is through Jesus, as He said so clearly Himself: “I AM The Way,
The Truth, and The Life. No one comes to the Father except by and through Me.” (John 14:6)
People try to pretend that the things
that God did in the Old Testament were “easily explained” away as
over-exaggerations, or tricks of the eye and sleight of hand, or “legends” that
made the situation bigger than life – because satan can’t let people actually
believe the Bible, if he can help it. In modern times, satan
has the “superheroes” as antichrists and to pretend that Jesus has super-sized
legends – effectively trying to call Jesus a liar. But, Jesus is telling the
truth as always, because He *Is* the Truth. Everything
major event Jesus did fulfilled one of the 7 Jewish feasts He gave to the
Jewish people. Jesus’ coming to earth in the form of man, was in fulfillment of
the Jewish “Feast of Tabernacles”, also called “Sukkot” in Hebrew, and the
fulfillment is shown in John 1:14, “14 And the Word
became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the
only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”
The constant tricks of the devil can
be most easily seen as many forms of an attack style against the Bible called
“Textual Criticism”, which is the “art” and “science” of criticizing the Bible,
to turn people from the truth, and encouraging them in sin. God condemns the
devil, and all of his human helpers for that.
“20 Woe to those
who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for
darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20)
“13 For such are
false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of
Christ. 14 And no wonder! For Satan himself
transforms himself into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers
also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be
according to their works.” (2
Corinthians 11:13-15)
“6 I marvel
that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of
Christ, to a different gospel, 7 which is not another; but there are
some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other
gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone
preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be
accursed. 10 For do I now persuade
men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still
pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.” (Galatians 1:6-10)
Having been teaching the Bible and
sharing the gospel on the streets for many years, we get all kinds of questions.
And many of them have to do with myths we have never even heard of. And over
these past 20 years, we’ve been able to investigate some of them. And do you
know what we’ve found? They are all lies. We plead with people to stay away
from myths, unless they have spent years in studying the Bible themselves and are
only approaching them to show the lies of the devil and his human helpers –
deception is so dangerous, you don’t approach it lightly. And, it’s amazing how
many different ways satan attacks and falsely accuses
God.
In past days, people would take their
time and/or money to carve their idol out of stone and wood and maybe decorate
it with gold and silver. Today’s people are too lazy to carve an idol, so they just
create the image in our heads and imaginations. The spiritual energy behind the
want to create idols and false “gods” of course, is
satan – always trying to counter who God is and what God is doing. The devil, satan, would wish that he could turn every away from God and
the Bible back to pagan traditions and idol-worship. And, of course, satan has always looked for human helpers to help promote
these false “gods”, which are not gods at all, but lies. Centuries ago, satan’s human helpers would tell stories and/or write down
the myths for idols and against God, but in today’s society, the trash vender
(TV) is one of the main sources of these lies, secondary are books that do the
same.
If you do a little searching, you will
quickly notice that the pagan (secretly God-hating) leaders
who rule us and create many systems and businesses around us, love satan’s
myths and fables. Many names of modern companies are named after some Egyptian,
Greek, Roman, Norse or other mythological “god” or “goddess”, for example Nike,
Venus, Juno, Apollo, Athena/Diana, etc. Thanks to leaders who revere pagan
Rome, many of the planets are named after mythological “gods” and “goddesses”,
for example, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Pluto, etc. Thanks to those who revere Norse
mythology all of the days of the week are borrowed from that paganism. Thanks
to those who revere Egyptian mythological “gods” and “goddesses”, we have the
all-seeing eye on the US dollar bill, atop a pyramid – thanks to the
demon-worshipping Jesuits and masons. And thanks to those who revere the
Chinese, Greek, and Roman mythological “gods” and “goddesses”, we have those
false “deities” in their so-called “zodiacs” and in the names of many of the
constellations in the sky – something that once did brought glory to God (and
still does in many ways), now reveres the devil and his demons and myths. And
thanks to those who revere the myths of the Sumerians, Babylonians, Atlantis,
etc, we have the Jesuit lying religion/mythology of “evolution” and even the
Jesuit myths of “flat earth” again. You will also find much mythology
referenced in seemingly all fantasy productions today – from comic books, to
games, to reading books, to films, movies, TV-shows and music.
So, what’s the point? It’s simple. We
live on a planet where satan dominates, in some ways,
as the “prince of the power of the air”. So, satan
influences many people with his same deceptions and imaginations of grandeur
and conquering God and living in peace enjoying the sins, as he did in old
does, so he does today. The fact that they worship false “gods” and “goddesses”
that never have existed, doesn’t hurt you. Don’t
follow them, just follow the One True Holy and Pure
God, who gave us the tool to use to double-check everything around us – His
Word, the Bible. God’s Word does indeed answer all of satan’s
lies, old and new. King Solomon saw many things and said it well:
“1 The words of
the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. 2 "Vanity
of vanities," says the Preacher; "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity." 3 What
profit has a man from all his labor In which he toils
under the sun? 4 One
generation passes away, and another
generation comes; But the earth abides forever. 5 The sun also
rises, and the sun goes down, And hastens to the place
where it arose. 6 The wind goes toward the south, And
turns around to the north; The wind whirls about continually, And comes again
on its circuit. 7 All the rivers run into the sea, Yet the sea is
not full; To the place from which the rivers come, There they return again. 8 All
things are full of labor; Man
cannot express it. The eye is
not satisfied with seeing, Nor the ear filled with
hearing. 9 That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun. 10 Is
there anything of which it may be said, "See, this is new"? It has already been in ancient times before us. 11 There is no remembrance of former things, Nor will there be any remembrance
of things that are to come By those who
will come after. 12 I, the Preacher, was king over Israel in
Jerusalem. 13 And I set my heart to seek and search out by
wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven; this burdensome task God has
given to the sons of man, by which they may be exercised. 14 I
have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind...”(Ecclesiastes 1:1-14)
King Solomon wrote his observations
and confusions down in the Book of Ecclesiastes, and God allowed it to be in
our Bibles. King Solomon sadly rejected the fear of the Lord to depart from
evil and, second to his dad (David) and his committing sexual immorality with
Bathsheba and murderering her husband, King Solomon was the one who brought
much demon-worship and many sins into Israel, leading eventually to almost all
of the people of Israel being dragged away as slaves to Babylon. So, King
Solomon brought much spiritual harm to Israel… but he did, at very least, after
exploring everything he could, with the gift of wisdom that he requested from
God (2Chronicles 1), he did eventually figure out the meaning of life – after
he had done many sins and married many pagan women… he found the conclusion:
“1 Remember
now your Creator in the days of your youth, Before the
difficult days come, And the years draw near when you say, "I have no
pleasure in them… 7 Then the dust will return to the earth as it
was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it. 8 "Vanity
of vanities," says the Preacher, "All is vanity." 9 And
moreover, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge;
yes, he pondered and sought out and set in order many proverbs. 10 The
Preacher sought to find acceptable words; and what was written was
upright--words of truth. 11 The words of the wise are like
goads, and the words of scholars are like well-driven nails, given by one
Shepherd. 12 And further, my son, be
admonished by these. Of making many books there is no end,
and much study is wearisome to the flesh. 13 Let us hear
the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man's all. 14 For God will bring
every work into judgment, Including every secret
thing, Whether good or evil.”
(Ecclesiastes 12:1, 7-14)
King Solomon lost many things… but he
eventually found true wisdom – the “fear of the Lord” which is the “beginning
of wisdom” (Proverbs 1:9, 9:10). Don’t be like him. Read the Bible for
yourself. Build a relationship with the One True and Good Creator and Judge,
and don’t partner with demons or explore their myths to learn “something new”
as many pagan Greeks did in Paul’s day (and even still today). Start with
truth. If you started wrong before now, start again. Start with Jesus. Start a
covenant relationship with Him today – start with giving Him your life to live
holy and pure and to let Him teach you. And then learn to look at everything
through His eyes. God is the Only One who will always tell you the whole truth
and nothing but the Truth. But, you can only find it by reading His Word (the
Bible), not by exploring satan’s counterfeits.
One quick
not e before we conclude. The Vatican/Jesuits
are the myth-keepers and promoters. They are satan’s
best agents, and they take many forms. Please don’t be like them, but do watch
out for them. The freemasons are the footsoldiers of the Vatican/Jesuits. The
freemasons are an occult/cult based on all of the world’s demonic mythologies.
They control the big business in every major city in the world. Don’t join them
or be like them, or you will find it painful, or become demon-possessed like
them. Expose lies wherever you find them, again using God’s Word to catch the
myriad (thousands) of the devil’s lies. This team has researched many things
for about 20 years. If you need some trustworthy and Biblically-reliable
resources on any topic, we can probably help you. Please ask anytime. Helping
people find the One True God and reject sin and the devil’s lies is why we are
here. ~ info@RestoreMBI.com
Romans 1:18-32 explain that God talks
to every single living person. For more than 2000 years, Rome has been
collecting and promoting these mythologies. Around the time of Christ and
afterwards, it was the Greek and Roman mythologies.
But, then about the mid300s AD, Rome switched to pretending to be the mother
“church” and has tried to rule her “Holy Roman Empire” with the same myths in
old and new packages. In the 1500s, satan found a new
team to promote the myths and tyrannical rule of Rome – the Jesuits, a secret
and brutal militia founded by Iñigi “Ignatius” Loyola in the 1540s. Shortly
after that, Loyola (with Rome’s help) founded several Jesuit schools in the
southern part of Europe, and Rome built the “Collegia Romana’ to fund
and equip them with the mythologies and “enlightened” satanic math and science
“teachings”. Since then, the Vatican Jesuits since the mid-1500s have been satan’s keepers and promoters of these stories of idols. The
devil (satan) is the master-counterfeiter, and right
now satan’s prize-team are the Jesuits (since 1540). The Vatican and her
Jesuits are the keepers of the false religion and the myths.
