Jesus paints a vastly different picture of his Father, who “knows what you need before you ask him” (Matthew 6:8). In Christ, we come to know God as he truly is, as a loving and intimate Father who sees and knows our every need. Which means we don’t have to flag him down with many words and empty phrases.According to history, Tammuz died at the hands of a wild boar. Legend has it that Tammuz was “resurrected” through the power of Semiramis’ tears. His resurrection, however, was only in the form of new vegetation. Easter was instituted by Semiramis as a springtime ritual to remember the “resurrection” of Tammuz.Christianity centers on one God and salvation through Jesus, emphasizing faith and original sin.
