Thank you for the in depth look at just how evil symbols are.
The 'star' of David, was never his. That fabrication is the same as saying 'George Washington was a Mason'. They whitewash their darkness by adding men of light to the alleged company.
If Solomon used symbols, I have not seen that, but nothing would surprise me, seeing as he went so deeply into following ba'al.
One more symbol to add to the recent mix is one that the Ukrainian nazis sport, Zelenski also wears, and ignorant supporters in the West herald..
The TRIZUB. It is a ghastly symbol favored because of its resemblance to the pitchfork, a tool used by Ukrainian civilians during WWII, to murder their own neighbors, Jews, Poles, including children.
Finally and important to point out - there are NO symbols in Christianity. None.
People designed the 'cross' as a symbol. But it was never part of the first century Church.
It's interesting that you make that connection with the cross, I have been pondering that realization in my own walk. Is it not a graven image? Christ said he did not come to do away with the Law but to fulfill it, and as such, previous restrictions like crafting symbols to worship don't suddenly get washed away.
I believe the cross may be recognized as what Jesus suffered for us, as to help as through what we are enduring today is pale in comparison to when HE did for our salvation!
Remember with all the abuses going on today Jesus did say “ When they hate you, remember they hated me first “, ( forgot the where located)…. His teachings were life saving that they wanted to humiliate and inflict suffering, the cross is a reminder of how much Jesus loved His children…. It is not a “ symbol “ of ritual.

Consider this quote from rabbi Isaac Wise, revered leader of the "Reform" sect in America, who was also a Mason:
"Masonry is a Jewish institution whose history, degrees, charges, passwords, and explanations are Jewish from the beginning to the end, with the exception of only one by-degree and a few words in the obligation... It is impossible to be well posted in Masonry without having a Jewish teacher…”
-- Isaac M. Wise, The Israelite, 03-Aug-1855, pg. 28
The introduction of the "Scottish Rite" in America, and the formation of the "Supreme Council" at Charleston SC in 1801, involved prominent Jewish Masons:
"The leading figure among the Jews in connection with early Masonry in the United States was Moses Michael Hays... In 1768 he was appointed Deputy Inspector General of Masonry for North America... The appointment was made with the view of establishing the Scottish Rite in America, and power was given to Hays to appoint others with like powers... His proceedings are now accepted by the Masonic fraternity as part of their approved history, and title is traced through him and his appointees, for the Scottish Rite in America."
That’s certainly a new one for me, “Christian feminism” man, these heretics sure are getting creative. There literally isn’t a single instance of God selecting a female for a position of authority besides Deborah, who shames Barak for having to bring her with him to assassinate Sisera. (Judges 4:9 KJV)
From what I read of her website and writings, this is a sterling example of the danger of cherry picking verses to fit worldly ideologies. I find it interesting she rejects vast swathes of scripture as “Gnostic fabrications” yet the only sects through out history that have rejected Paul as an apostle have been… Gnostics.
Even Wikipedia admits that these books were included in Biblical canon as early as ~200 AD.
I reject the idea that we can just tack on “Christian” to whatever political or cultural movement we desire without fundamentally watering down Christ’s message. The Gospel is so much more then just a simple political or cultural movement, it is the only way to everlasting life.
Most of these people espousing such radically aberrant ideologies just fundamentally don’t trust God. He would not leave his people in confusion and darkness without a proper translation of his Word. If we are truly Holy Spirit led and we ask for him to reveal his Truth to us he will.
Be careful what you pray for though, you just might get it.
If you’re a new reader I highly recommend reading the articles in chronological order. I covered the historical roots in those early posts and essays, particularly the Anatomy of a Revolution series.

Why celebrate the means of killing the Christ. If they shot him, would we wear an AR-15? https://theparalleluniverse.substack.com/p/christianity-has-no-symbols

BECAUSE the Lord confounded their languages…. Symbols, which transcend the spoken word!

Galatians 4
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
24 Which things are an ALLEGORY for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
recently ran across her Substack which she shut down last week, what do you think about this?

Most of the members of these groups are not nefarious, the nefarious ones use these decent folk as a shield against very deserved criticisms.
