The following statements were originally posts of mine on Constance Cumbey's blog.

[Note: Helena (Madame) Blavatsky (1831-1891) is revered by many as the Mother of the New Age movement.]

The following paragraph can be found on the website entitled, Blavatsky Theosophy Group UK.

(Note: Jesus' loving Father is believed to be the true God, and a different "God" than JEHOVAH.)

Madame Blavatsky asserts elsewhere in “The Secret Doctrine” that the title of “Satan” belongs by right to JEHOVAH. It is plainly obvious – at least to any sincere and decent person and to those whose minds and reasoning faculties have not fallen victim to the almost deadly poison of fundamentalist Christianity – that Jehovah is at best a demon, if not actually the devil himself, should such a being be considered to actually exist.

Thomas Dahlheimer said.... Anonymous 12:34 - In answer to your question. I do agree with the Blavatsky statements that I posted. In respect to the first Blavatsky statement, the "scriptures to back up my claim" are presented below.

Jesus criticised and rebelled against the rules and commandments of Jehovah more than anyone else and the Gospels are full of such instances.

In Jesus’ dispute with the Pharisees – a prominent sect of Judaism, naturally devoted wholeheartedly to Jehovah, he said:

v. 38 – “I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do that which you have seen with your father.”

v. 40 – “But now you seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard from God: Abraham did not do this.” (A very ambiguous statement which can only either mean “Abraham did not seek to kill me” or “Abraham did not hear from God and did not tell you the Truth.”)

v. 41 – “You do the deeds of your father.” Then said they to him, ‘We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.’

v. 42 – “If God were your Father, you would love me.”

v. 44 – “You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning [see the many vengeful, capricious, and inexplicable deaths attributed to Jehovah from the very first pages of the Old Testament], and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”

Jesus said: ‘Ye have heard,’ he tells us, ‘that it hath been said, an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: but I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. ["it hath been said" Who said it?]

If the Old Testament is a divine revelation, how can the New Testament be? Are we required to believe and worship a Deity who contradicts himself every few hundred years?
