3 Baruch (was rejected from the voting committee to be part of the bible) claims that there is no need to build temples on Earth because the temple is preserved in heaven and is attended by angels.
Another mentioning of 3 Baruch was "-Hades who drinks from the sea". HADES! The Greek god of the underworld.
Now what would a mythical Greek god be doing among the candidate books contesting to be the word of god? That implies there would be more than 1 god which would contradict all the other books claiming there is only one god. Interesting no?
If the ancient mythological gods are finding their way into the contest to be part of the bible, one would think the bible is becoming the 21st century version of the Greek religion.
It is curious to observe how the idea of what is called the christian church, sprung out of the tail of ancient mythology. A direct incorporation took place in the first instance, by making the reputed founder to be celestially begotten. The trinity of gods that then followed was no other than a reduction of the former plurality, which was about twenty or thirty thousands.
The statue of Mary succeeded the statue of Diana of Ephesus. The deification of heroes changes into the canonization of saints. The old religions had gods for everything, the christian have saints for everything.
The church became crowded with the one, as the pantheon has been with the other; and Rome was the place of both. The christian belief is little else than the idolatry of the ancient religions, accommodated to the purpose of power and revenue.
