Douglas - Section 42 (Nietzsche, Τάρταρος and Ἅιδης)

<Section #42> Clay Douglas states: “‘One should not embellish or dress up Christianity: it has waged a WAR TO THE DEATH against this higher type of man.’ - Nietzsche, ‘The Anti-Christ’, Chapter 5, line 1. ‘I regard Christianity as the most fatal and seductive lie that has ever yet existed.’ - Nietzsche. ‘Paul UNDERSTOOD the need for the lie...’ - Nietzsche, [ibid.] Chapter 47, line 4. ‘Christianity was the vampire of the Imperium Romanum (Roman Empire) - the tremendous deed of the Romans ... was undone overnight by Christianity. - Is this still not understood?’ - Nietzsche, [ibid.], Chapter 58, line 8 ‘What he (Paul) divined was that with the aid of the little sectarian movement on the edge of Judaism one could ignite a ‘world conflagration’,... This was his vision on the road to Damascus: he grasped that to disvalue ‘the world’ he needed the belief in immortality, that the concept ‘Hell’ will master even Rome.’
“- Nietzsche,‘The Anti-Christ’, Chapter 58, lines I5-16. (From THE ANTICHRIST by Friedrich Nietzsche. Published 1895. Nietzsche - himself - was a rabid Anti-Christian as well as an ‘Illuminated’ philosopher. Nietzsche even referred to himself as a ‘madman’. However, he was also firmly against the Communist doctrines put forth by Marx and Engels.)”

In reply to section <#42>: Again Clayton Douglas resorts to the perverse arguments of the humanist madman Friedrich “God is Dead” Nietzsche, a professed anti-Christian and therefore a man not qualified to objectively assess the validity of Paul’s Christian doctrines. Douglas quoted Nietzsche upon introducing his Paul-bashing articles, which was discussed on p. 37 above. Just because Nietzsche was “firmly against the Communist doctrines put forth by Marx and Engels” doesn’t make him any good, or any sort of authority concerning Christianity. Contrary to popular jewish philosophy, the enemy of my enemy is NOT my friend! Neither does Nietzsche honestly characterize the fall of Rome. The eastern portion of the empire at Constantinople was more thoroughly Christian than the west when it fell, and lasted a thousand years longer! Rome in the west fell because its own immorality and decadence made it ripe for the Germanic armies which destroyed it, exactly as Daniel said would happen (Dan. 2:40-45), a thousand years beforehand! Nietzsche, a classics professor, should surely have been aware of all this, yet chose instead to create lies. Clayton Douglas is his disciple!

Nietzsche disqualifies himself as a classicist where he talks about the belief in immortality and the concept of “Hell”, for these beliefs were not only prevalent among the Old Testament Hebrews, but also among the Greeks going all the way back to Homer, and to the Germanic tribes even before their conversion to Christianity.

First, Yahshua Christ Himself mentioned Hades (a Greek word) and the “gates of Hades” (“hell” in the A.V.), for which see Matt. 11:23; 16:18; Luke 10:15; 16:23; Rev. 1:18; 6:8 and 20:13-14. Peter discussed the Spirit of Christ descending to preach “unto the spirits in prison” (1 Pet. 3:19). Strong’s lexicon defines sheol, Hebrew #7585, “hades or the world of the dead ... including its accessories and inmates.” The Greeks called this world Hades (Ἅιδης), in the 9th edition of the Liddell & Scott Greek-English Lexicon “the nether world ... place of departed spirits ...”, which was also called Tartaros (Τάρταρος) “the nether world generally.” Hesiod calls it “dim Tartaros in the depth of the wide-pathed Earth” (Theogony, 119). From the times of Homer, and probably much earlier, this was the abode of the souls of the dead, and in the Odyssey Homer devotes an entire chapter to Odysseus’ supposed visit to the place, conversing with the deceased. Homer and Hesiod wrote at least 800 years before Paul. In Euripides’ Alcestis, written 500 years before Paul, Heracles descends to Hades to bring the heroine Alcestis back from the dead.

In the Germanic literature which dates to a time long before the Christianization of the North, Niflheim is the underworld abode of Hel, or Hela, goddess of the dead, and the souls of the dead dwell there. Niflheim and Hel (from whence is the English “hell”) are mentioned in the Edda, i.e. the Voluspa par. 42 or The Lay of Vafthrúthnir par. 43. See The Poetic Edda translated by Lee M. Hollander, University of Texas Press and “Hel” in the index. These things were also published well before Nietzsche’s time, and being a Classics professor, he is without excuse if he was ignorant of them. The Voluspa appeared in Sharon Turner’s The History of The Anglo-Saxons when it was published in the 1840’s, as an appendix to Book 2 of that monumental work.

As Germanic heroes received immortality in Valhalla, and Greek heroes at Olympus or in the “isles of the blest” beyond the western sea, Enoch walked with Yahweh. These beliefs endured wherever our Saxon-Israelite race is found. Where are Nietzsche, Spong, Ravage, Douglas, and the rest of the jews, liberals, anti-Christs and Paul-bashers going?
