The Labyrinth of the Minotaur
The Labyrinth of the Minotaur
We read in Scripture that God created man in His image and likeness, male and female, I think, this claim has since been the starting point, the cornerstone that holds all the scaffolding, on which it has built, the Judeo-Christian religious thought which bases its theological basis in the scriptures above.
Based on this biblical principle then judging by subsequent accounts are broken down step by step, the various rapporteurs who have taken God's authoritative representation of the universe, it seems, that once we were created and placed in Paradise, disobedience and subsequent sin, have shown that just as in our times, with our own children, we have engaged in a contentious and somewhat rough relationship, as they tell us, has always existed between the Father sitteth in the heavens and their sinful and expelled children who wander wandering, devoid of their original language, since in our pride we sought to build a tower that would lead us, with no apparent prior permission from the heavenly home which had taught us that we had come.
Now, I wonder, and asked me at once, such as who thinks aloud, some disturbing why?
It be that we are wrapped in a web that traps and immobilizes us with saliva from the mouth of all the so-called "interpreters of the divine will"
Why: The first books that tell us about our origins, coming from an author who despite being Jewish by birth had the distinction of being raised as a member of royalty, raised from childhood to adulthood, by the great masters of Egyptian culture which maintained close ties with the Cretans and the Greeks, so it is not unreasonable to assume that their intellectual - like the Israelites of his contemporaries who lived over four hundred years of subjugation - was highly influenced by the cosmogony of the Egyptians.
Surely, at this point, many will I have to note that the pantheon of Egyptian gods like the Greeks and Cretans we have cited, are political and that the God of Moses, who visited him in the burning bush and instructed him to his revelations, was The Great Creator of all things, so it would have to admit that his conception of the deity cultures differed substantially from above, well, in that respect they are right, but not quite right.
Let's see:
Moses himself in recounting the various stages of creation, when referring to the creation of man, tells us:
"Then God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and have dominion over the fish of the sea and the birds of heaven, the cattle, over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth "Genesis 1: 26
"And the Lord God said, Behold the man is like one of us, knowing good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever" Genesis 3: 22
It can be seen in reading, that the Jehovah of Moses was not alone, the words do - our image - our likeness - one of us - concerns the participation of a plurality of gods in the great task of creation of man and their habitat.
The influence of other cultures in the writings of Moses can be clearly seen in the Torah, the law that governed fiercely among the Israelites, you can see, in its conception, a certain similarity to the codex of Hammurabi, King of Sumer and Akkad, whom some 1800 before the birth of Christ, told his subjects that he had received from God Morduk, a set of laws that were intended to promote "the well-being among people", here is the transcript of some of the first thirty.
If a man charged with (another) Ladies and complaint filed against him for murder, but can not prove his accuser be punished with death.
If a man charged with (another) Mr. practices of witchcraft, but can not prove the accused of witchcraft go to the river (y) must lie on the river. If the river (achieved) drag, his accuser took away his property. (But) if this gentleman has been purified by the river coming out (of it) safe and sound, which charged him with sorcery maneuvers shall be punished with death (and) who was thrown into the river snatch the estate of his accuser.
If a man steals religious or state property, this man shall be punished with death. Besides which he received from his hands the stolen goods will (also) put to death.
If a man steals an ox, a sheep, a donkey, a pig or a boat, if (the stolen belongs) to religion (o) if (belongs) to the state, revert to thirty voices (its value) if (belongs ) to a subordinate shall return tenfold. If the thief not afford to repay, will be punished with death.
The Torah of Moses, called the law of retaliation, states the following:
"But if any harm, then you shall give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe."
21: 23 to 25
"He who injures an animal shall restore it, animal by animal.
And cause a blemish in his neighbor, as he did, so it be done; break for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, depending on the injury you have done to another, it will be him. "
24: 18 to 20
"The prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name, whom I have not commanded him to speak or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die"
18: 20
This we expose, not intended to challenge or questioned the authority of Moses, even expressed doubts about being a reporter of the will of God, we are reluctant to simply accept a scholar Moses, but under his scholarship, has not influenced the wealth of knowledge, acquired in the classroom where they studied members of the royal house of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Your reading comprehension and narrative are its ability speak for themselves.
Nor should we ignore the intervention of his father, Jethro, high priest of Midian, who had the Melchizedek Priesthood unquestioned authority come from the author of the great esoteric teachings transmitted "hand in hand" by the great masters of the Kabbalah, we refer to Melchizedek, King of Salem, owner of the "keys" of the Holy Priesthood after the Order of the Son of God.
In order not to deviate from the storyline of this article, we invite our readers to feel interest in entering on the subject Melchizedek, who read the epistle of the apostle Paul to the Hebrews.
Our intention is to try to break into a phenomenon of ownership of the attributes of God, who have proclaimed as their representatives, and self-proclaimed tell, because in no instance, God our father, the company has performed in the rest of mortals in a personal and specific.
At this point, it is worth remembering the Savior's teachings, he claimed, the legitimacy of his relationship with his father and took upon himself their representative, as such, as the only begotten of the father, he took to himself the power and glory but told the world what his role, when we said "I am the way, the resurrection and the life: no man comes to the Father except through me" adding, so you will pray, Our Father who art in Heaven ...
Also James the Apostle in his epistle shows us "If anyone lacks wisdom demándesela to God who gives liberally and upbraideth not" James 1:5
So that the human creature does not need any intermediary to communicate with its creator, what happens is that in those early days, to which these stories, there has been an amazing metamorphosis of the writings have passed into dogma, dogma of the liturgy, liturgy of the organization, organizations, corporations, corporations with multinational networks of religion, of the simple shepherds astray, practitioners of religious communication.
They've taken over the image of God, have registered your trademark, your faucet is copyrighted, including the repentant sinner and redeemer exists a web of networks that traded in the markets of religion the value of forgiveness and costs involved, today days "clear our name" out of the "clearing of sinners" forces us to resort to financiers, to pay fees that never cease to pay the debt, without a doubt the "indulgences" sold in the Middle Ages, have become in lucrative sources of wealth and power.
This is why we describe this article entitled, as we see the so-called "myths" of antiquity are an endless source of inspiration, tells the mythology of the Cretan Minos, son of Zeus and Europa, asked Poseidon for help Asterion succeed the king of Crete, in its dispute over the throne with his brothers Rhadamanthus and Sarpedon.
Accessing your order, Poseidon made the seas rise a beautiful white bull to Minos so that, in gratitude, the sacrifice on their behalf.
The beautiful white bull, was such that he hid Minos and sacrificed in his place, a bull of the herd, such as lying and deception have short legs s, Poseidon in revenge, he wake up in Pasiphae, the wife of Minos, an uncontrollable sexual attraction for the white bull, as a result, Pasiphae gave birth to a monster with human body and bull's head.
Due to his ferocity as their eating habits were eating human flesh, turned to a craftsman named Daedalus, to seek ways to enclose this craftsman waxed devised a labyrinth where the called the "Bull of Minos" the intricacies of the labyrinth to those sentenced to serve food to the bull, once entered in, wandering lost their paths can not find the exit, needless to say, the sad fate of these unfortunates.
The story is interesting and what I say is a very brief summary, I confess that on reading it I could not help associating the labyrinth built by Daedalus, with the intricate pathways created by human engineering, to enclose the image of God and make it unreadable, so The same has happened with our Savior and Redeemer, who should seek Him go into the same maze, in which they have vainly tried to hide his Father, on the builders of so great confusion weighs the following words:
"When he had spoken, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him: and Jesus went into the house, sat at the table.
The Pharisee, when he saw it was strange that he had not washed before eating.
But the Lord said unto him: Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and wickedness.
Fools, does that made the outside, did not make the inside also?
But give alms of what we have, and then everything will be clean.
But woe to you Pharisees! For ye tithe mint and rue and every herb, and pass over justice and the love of God. This I have done, without leaving that.
Woe to you Pharisees! They love the best seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye are as graves which appear not, and men who walk over them do not.
And the one of the interpreters of the law, he said, Master, when you say this, you insult us also.
And he said: Woe unto you also interpreters of the law! Because cargáis men with burdens can bear, but you will not even touch the burdens with one finger.
Woe to you, interpreters of the law! Because you have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in you hindered.
Telling him these things, the scribes and the Pharisees began to shake greatly, and provoke him to speak many things, stalking, and seeking to catch any word of his mouth to accuse him. "
Luke 11: 37 to 46, 52, 53
The road to Calvary on the cross, and began to go.
