Re: The Queen of Heaven

Dear Mark (Hammer of God),
Throughout your journey you will find many myths and cultures which subscribe to a "QUEEN OF HEAVEN". What I ask is that you look beyond the misnomers. True, various civilizations worshipped a Trinity of beings. Back to Isis, Rha, and Horus these "trinities" have been promulgated. It was not until ST. Thomas Aquinas instituted the Platonian model of philosophy based on Aristotle's division of the psyche...or was it visa versa? That the Western view of a triptych subdivision of human being was accepted.
The earliest Mesopotamian civs beleived that we humans were "one" in our thought, body, and deeds. As such it could not be conceived during their dispesation that G*d could become incarnate. The divine paradox arrived with the Man-Christ Jesus.
No other event in human history has had such profound impact and none other has led to such misunderstandng of the human potential.
