mosque of the companions in massawa, eritrea. it was reportedly built by companions of the prophet muhammad who fled to africa due to persecution they faced in mecca. it possibly dates to 620-630 ce, which would make it the oldest purpose-built mosque in the world. however, some of the current structure was most likely built in the late 7th-9th centuries, as the mihrab and minaret as we know them hadn't been developed at the time.

Again God said to him, Your name is Jacob [supplanter]; you shall not be called Jacob any longer, but Israel shall be your name. So He called him Israel [contender with God].
And God said to him, I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall come from you and kings shall be born of your stock;
The land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and to your descendants after you I will give the land.
Genesis 35:10-12 (AMPC)

I'm once again thinking about that one time I was watching a documentary on PBS, and they were doing archeology that uncovered idols and they were just like, "This is evidence that the Hebrews didn't just worship one god" in a tone that implied that this was some sort of huge revelation that was overturning everything we thought we knew.
And I am just thinking, "Yes, obviously? Sir, have you read a Bible? There's such a constant refrain of 'And then God's people messed up again and put their faith in something other than God and here's how that caused problems for them.'"

Does Praise And Worship Music Save? Christian music has hampered individuals worship in spirit and in truth.
There are many Christians and Non-Christians alike who believe that Music saves the soul. Is this true or not? Before you answer this question. Honestly think about It, before reading the article! The time is now. Having integrity is integral to this faith walk. In today’s generation, we are told that our feelings will help us to be honest with ourselves and others. In those times of stress and…

The Son (Hebrews 1:1-4)
Christianity discerns that all of history hinges on it’s midpoint of the incarnation and birth, life and ministry, death and resurrection, and ascension and glorification of Jesus.
In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for…

He Gets Us - Hebrews 4:14-16
Among the many attributes of Jesus detailed in the Scriptures, one that gets considerable attention in the book of Hebrews is his role as High Priest of the New Covenant.  But Jesus isn’t just some distance, unrelatable high priest, but one who can relate to us on every level, because he is one of us.  So we are encouraged to continue in our hope in him, and not be afraid to come into the…

the church of yoldath aloho (the mother of god) in hah in the historical tur 'abin region, located within modern-day turkey. it's thought to have been built around 450 ad and expanded by byzantine emperor justinian in the 6th century, with several additions made throughout the years. the square-shaped dome on the top is unique to the region.
according to local tradition, it was built on a site where twelve kings, following a star to bethlehem, were inspired to do so after witnessing a miracle which proved to them mary's holiness.

Considering Psalms, 1
(Image credit – King David – Wikipedia) If you are a Bible-reader, or aspire to be one, you will encounter the Book of Psalms, the longest book in the Bible. This book is a collection of 150 poems, or hymns, which were originally set to music as accompaniment to Tabernacle and Temple worship in ancient Israel. They were written in Hebrew over a period of several centuries and finally collected…

One of the things I hear a lot from Gentile witches and neo-pagans who want to work with Lilith or claim to work with Lilith, is that she is actually a Mesopotamian goddess, usually either Ishtar/Inanna or Erishkigal, and that it was the Jews, with their horrible patriarchy juice, who slandered her and cast her down, and so the Jews do not deserve to say what happens to her and it isn't antisemitism to work with her, or to completely ignore what the Jews say about what she is in a Jewish context.
Lilith is not Ishtar or Erishkigal. However, there is a Mesopotamian figure that is pretty stinking analogous to Lilith, and is probably her folkloric ancestor, by which I mean the idea of Lilith probably comes from this Mesopotamian figure. In fact, Lilith almost certainly is either a Jewish version of this figure, or, they are both descended from the same Near Eastern and Mediterranean basin folkloric figure. That figure is Lamashtu.
Lamashtu is, much like Lilith, the supernatural embodiment of maternal and infant mortality, a figure of power and terror, who functions as a way to embody and cope with the profound dangers that are pregnancy, childbirth, and infancy without effective medical care. the Mesopotamians never worshiped Lamashtu, but they did seek to appease her, including making symbolic gifts to her, to keep her from visiting them, and killing them or their children.
An interesting side note is that there is also a Mesopotamian figure who specifically opposes Lamashtu and functions as the protector of pregnant women and infants, and that figure is Pazuzu, a wind spirit, who ruled over other wind spirits, including ones called the Iilu in the Akkadian language. Akkadian is a Semitic language, related to Hebrew, and this word is probably a cognate of Lilith, but the Iilu probably have no relationship to the figure of Lilith except her name. You might know Pazuzu as the demon featured in the movie, The Exorcist, and ironic fate for a mythological protector of women and children.
Anyway, if you'll remember, I implied above that the Lamashtu/Lilith figure, was present in various guises throughout the Mediterranean basin and the Near East, so there are of course figures analogous to both of them throughout the region, such as Lamia of Greece, and the Strix of Rome.
So if you really really want to work with a figure who functions as the supernatural embodiment of maternal and infant mortality, Lamashtu, Lamia, or the strix would all be excellent options that don't come from an extant closed religious practice. All the baby killing, none of the antisemitism and cultural appropriation.
While all three figures are almost certainly descended from the same folkloric root, they're all subtly different, because as stories and characters travel, they change. as such, they all have particular good points about them as figures of veneration.
Lanashtu is the OG bad bitch, who commanded fear, respect, and offerings, like a mythological mafiosa, collecting protection money.
Lamia has attached to her the story that she was one of Zeus's dubiously willing lovers, who was screwed over first by Zeus, the embodiment of patriarchical rule, then by a jealous Hera, the embodiment of patriarchal marriage, so if what attracted you to Lilith was the story from the Alphabet of Ben Sira, about a victim of the patriarchy getting her own back through violent vengeance, Lamia might be the girl for you. With her however, the emphasis is less on her murder of children, then on her seducing and eating men, though she does also get strongly associated with killing children, especially boys.
And the strix is particularly interesting, because the word comes down to us in the modern Italian word for witch, striga. Indeed, one of the theories as to where the witch figure came from in Early Medieval, and then Early Modern Christianity, was as the strix demon made human. This might explain the close association between Early Modern Witchcraft and infant mortality, including Italian stories of witches causing infants to die seemingly natural deaths, so that they could dig them up and eat them after their funerals, something that ties these human supposed witches very closely to demonic folkloric antecedents. If you are looking for a figure of unfairly maligned female power, the strix and her close association with later human witches, might be the one for you.
All three of these figures, much like Lilith herself, are reflections, both of the power women wielded even within patriarchal societies, over the process of pregnancy, birth, and childrearing, and also the powers of death and loss that everyone was subject to. There is something powerful, transgressive, and even healthy in acknowledging the fears and dangers presented by this death and loss,and for some people, that might take the form in venerating the underlying powers. If this is something that would be spiritually meaning for you, and you wish to work with such a figure, and you are not Jewish, please respect the fact that Lilith is part of a closed religious practice, and remember that Lilith has sisters, in other parts of the Mediterranean basin and the Near East, who are not from extant closed cultures, and who might serve your needs better anyway.

In 325, at the Council of Nicea, Constantine the Great created the Catholic Church after a genocide of 45,000 Christians, where he tortured them to renounce Reincarnation. At the same time the religious books of all the villages of the empire are collected and thus create THE BIBLE.
In 327, Constantine, known as the emperor of Rome, ordered Jerome to translate the Vulgate version in Latin, changing the Hebrew proper names and adulterating the scriptures.
In 431, the cult of the VIRGIN was invented.
In 594, PURGATORY was invented.
In 610, the title of the POPE was invented.
In 788, worship of pagan deities was imposed.
In 995, the meaning of kadosh (set aside) was changed to saint.
In 1079, the celibacy of priests is imposed >> a totally Catholic word.
In 1090, the Rosary was imposed.
In 1184, the Inquisition was perpetrated.
In 1190, indulgences are sold.
In 1215, confession was imposed on the priests.
In 1216, Pope Innocent III's tale of the terror of bread (a god in Greek mythology), which turns into human flesh, was invented.
In 1311, the batesimo prevailed.
In 1439, the non-existent PURGATORY was dogmatized.
In 1854, the immaculate Conception was invented.
In 1870, the absurdity of an infallible pope was imposed, in which the concept of Contracting was invented
There are more than 2,500 things invented by this religion to enslave human beings to Christianity ...
Religions and their Gods were created as a means of MANIPULATION and BUSINESS. As part of the EVOLUTION of the human being is the FREEDOM of these means of manipulation. Although little by little the human being is in the era of AWAKENING, young people are LESS RELIGIOUS every day for two more generations and the Catholic religion will be in its decline. (I wish to see that moment)
Everything will be part of our EVOLUTION.
It is up to you to continue believing what you now believe to be the absolute truth, because you have not questioned things, yourself ... question them yourself and you will see that all religions are an invention ... of man
