Introducing world class Christ hater and self-proclaimed scholar, "Acharya S"

The following article is designed to expose Acharya S, webmaster of Truth Be Known. Acharya S is a "skeptic with an interest in mythology" who has written several books that supposedly disprove Christ, Christianity, and other religions. She considers herself to be a "scholar and visionary" whose mission in life is to debunk God in any way possible.

One of "Acharya's" latest antics that proves her unmitigated hatred toward Christ and believers in Christ, is the endorsement of a "Photoshopped" picture of herself as the Madonna, carrying a gray-skinned baby resembling a space alien that is presenting its middle finger to the world in apparent defiance. In her chatroom thread entitled "Hail Mary, Mother of God!" she said "Now, this is too funny! Someone at Truth Be Known Nation created it: http://toratora.150m.com/arch/arch.htm"....


Before we begin, please note that "Achary's" actual name is "D. Murdock", according to Mike Licona, a New Testament historian and Christian apologist who has successfully debunked Acharya's books: A Refutation of Acharya S's book, The Christ Conspiracy, and "An answer to your rebuttal titled, "A Rebuttal to Mike Licona's ‘Refutation of The Christ Conspiracy’".

The first thing one notices on Murdock's website is that it drips with sarcasm and unchained hatred towards believers. This "scholar" who knocks herself out to "toot her own horn" and make sure that the world knows what she looks like via several revealing, sexy photos (see About the Author) has, among other things, numerous typos, incorrect punctuation and spelling errors on her pages....

While there is no doubt that Murdock has some knowledge of several religions, as well other esoterica and the supernatural, she is also a lost soul who hasn't got a clue about God or the Bible, as evidenced in one of the myriad articles on her website (I've inserted my comments in red):

Commentary - - Acharya S

The Crucifixion of the Intelligence

I haven't seen Mel Gibson's bloody movie, "The Passion of The Christ," and I don't plan to anytime soon. Since I'm an expert on Christian mythology, however, I'm qualified anyway to speak against the grotesque slop that keeps coming out of Hollyweird and passing itself off as "history."

The Refiner's Fire Comment: Notice the self-aggrandizing? An "expert" on Christian mythology? Well, the Bible tells us that those who do not have the Holy Spirit residing in their hearts, cannot possibly understand the things of God: 1 Corinthians 2:14 - But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. Murdock can call herself "an expert" from now till Doomsday but, the fact remains, she does NOT understand the Bible, as Mike Licona's scholarly Refutation aptly reveals.

Every year, the hideous fable called the "life of Christ" is brought to us in living technigory in some fashion or another, based on the "true story" of Jesus, the Virgin Mary or, recently, Judas, whose snarling macho countenance faced off with an effeminate and ineffectual Heyzoos on the small screen. When it comes to pious nonsense, the credibility milking machine never shuts down, as even the respected PBS and Discovery get in on the credulous cash cow with their "true" and "accurate" depictions of Jesus's purported life.

The Refiner's Fire Comment: Whether Ms. Murdock wants to believe in "Heyzoos" or not, the bottom line is, He died to give her the free choice of believing in Him - or not. When He returns, even HER "scholarly" knees will bow - and He won't be the least bit interested in all her supposed education or accomplishments - OR her perceived beauty. His only interest will be the state of her heart....

With cash registers exploding, blood vessels bursting and audiences fainting as they haven't since "The Exorcist," the latest Jesus flick may be dismissed as more mindless mayhem and pabulum portraying a FICTIONAL tale about a guy who NEVER existed. Can I shout that any louder? No, Jesus Christ was NOT the only begotten son of God. Nor was he a groovy guru, a political rebel, a kindly rabbi, an itinerant healer, a cynic sage, a gay, a woman, a massage therapist, a tattoo artist or an alien. The story in the New Testament is fiction based on the numerous preceding myths of gods and goddesses throughout the known world. Thus, the point is entirely MOOT as to who killed Jesus. No, no, no, it wasn't "the Jews," whoever they were. Nor was it "the Romans." No one killed Christ, because Christ never lived.

The Refiner's Fire Comment: "The Jews, whoever they were?" Jesus never existed? Boy, won't Ms. Murdock be surprised when He returns on the clouds to zap His enemies at Armageddon and send Satan and his followers into the abyss! I would LOVE to be a little fly on the wall on Judgment Day! Tell me, Ms. Murdock, did the supposed "preceding myths of gods and goddesses" take away the sin of the world? Were YOU alive and living in Israel 2,000 years ago to positively state that Jesus never lived? For someone who supposedly never lived, Jesus has certainly turned the world upside down, hasn't He? Of all the illustrious books you've ever written, have YOU ever had one that was continuously on the "Best Seller List" like the Bible is? The Bible tells us that Yeshua's disciples and the five hundred and some witnesses who saw Him walk the earth, even AFTER His death certainly believed He was/had been alive! Of course, one has to "believe" in God and the Bible in order to be able to fully comprehend that. Unfortunately for you, Ms. Murdock, they don't teach one about God or how to have a relationship with Him in that "prestigious university" you attended, or in all those foreign countries to which you traveled. If you weren't so wrapped up in your own self-perceived intellect, you would see the Truth of the Bible which tells us that the gate that leads to life is very narrow and most people will NOT be taking it: Matthew 7:13 - 14: 13 "Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. 14 "For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Period.

It didn't happen.

Get over it. Time to create a better story that centers on life instead of death. Especially the hideous and cruel torture and death of the Almighty God Hisself! Truly, I say unto you, the story is despicable.

The Refiner's Fire Comment: This paragraph proves she doesn't know the Bible from a hole in the ground! The story of Christ IS about life! It's about God who sent an aspect of Himself to earth in the form of a human so that we humans with our limited mindsets could see and COMPREHEND the things of God. It's about God offering His "Son" as a DIVINE SACRIFICE to take away our sins and thereby give us a chance at eternal life. It's about things that the "learned" Ms. Murdock could never understand since she views God and the Bible as myths. Unfortunately, this woman who has a hardened heart and Satan's scales covering her eyes is bold enough to push her carnal viewpoint on unsuspecting people who also don't have a clue....

Having seen several clips from his latest ultra-violent movie, I would concur with the critic who feels Gibson's body of work reveals a singularly sadistic side of the man. Mel certainly loves to eviscerate and exsanguinate his characters. The more rational among us must know that the all-powerful God of the cosmos which is what Gibson says he believes Jesus was, would not and could not bleed and suffer for any reason, i.e. "good judgment; sound sense." That Jesus or any other "son of God" endured a horrible, ignominious death for our sins is an absurd and asininenay, barbaric and savage idea that has possessed the human mind for far too long.

The Refiner's Fire Comment: Man, in his natural state IS sadistic; we inherited the legacy from Adam and Eve - that is why Yeshua came! Without Him, we would all be doomed to hell. "The more rational among us" - what a hoot! Well, Ms. Murdock, we challenge YOU to create a world with human life....

In reality, the Passion of Christ or any other god (and there have been several with nearly the exact same tale) is based on human sacrifice, specifically the "sacred king ritual." Ritual human sacrifice is a vile, disgusting affair practiced worldwide for millennia using countless victims from virtually every culture, encompassing all ages and both genders. This sick and sickening rite given a perversely warm, fuzzy feeling by being called a "passion" is the most contemptible and depraved act humans can commit. Yet, this revolting ritual murder has been perpetrated in the name of the good and gracious God, to atone for "sins" that humans were endowed with in the first place by the same "merciful" Creator! Indeed, according to religious fanatics, the torture and death of an innocent human being in a sin-atoning ritual constitutes God's "Highest Plan!" And we are to be reminded of this crime against reason and sanity endlessly, ad infinitum and ad nauseam.

The Refiner's Fire Comment: Again, she is proving exactly how much she DOESN'T know: Yeshua's was a DIVINE sacrifice, and it was not a "ritual". You BET the movie showed us just exactly HOW depraved humans are! Again, this is why Yeshua came! To take away our sins!

I, for one, am sick of hearing about it. I've had enough. Let us write a new, uplifting and inspiring chapter in Earth's history, and get rid of this awful, stupid fiction that keeps humankind deranged and retarded. For starters, if by some chance you find yourself dragged to Gibson's gruesome film, just keep reminding yourself, "It's only a movie. It's only a movie." Just like "Halloween" or "Nightmare on Elm Street...."

The Refiner's Fire Comment:....And the believers of the world are sick of hearing about Murdock's carnal rantings! That "awful, stupid fiction" as she calls it, is the Word of God. One day, she will find herself standing before her Maker, trying to explain why she felt she was above Him in all ways. Oh, the arrogance! Well, the Bible tells us that, in the end times there would be false prophets. Murdock clearly seems to be one of them. One day, when the end comes, she will WISH this had "only been a movie". But by then it will be too late. Oh well, too bad for her....

Oh, the rantings and ravings of the unbelieving populace! As you can plainly see in just this one particular article above, "Arachya" Murdock - in short - is just another atheist (actually, she's a PANTHEIST - basically the same difference!) who hasn't got a clue, yet seems driven to show the world that God is a myth. She is typical example of how blind our world really is. The bad part is, she doesn't even realize that she is nothing more than a pawn of Satan. God, who loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son (John 3:16) gave us the opportunity to have eternal life - and most people refuse to acknowledge that fact. As the Bible says: ...The man who walks in the dark does not know where he is going (John 12:35).

There have always been, and there always will be people such as Murdock who spend their lives proving that THEY are the gods of their own universes. But time is short and believers need to don their armor of God and stand up for Him:

Ephesians 6: 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

It won't be easy, and we will constantly have to remind ourselves that we are following in the footsteps of our Savior who was crucified for the Truth:

Mat 5:10-12: 10 "How blessed are those who are persecuted because they pursue righteousness! for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. 11 How blessed you are when people insult you and persecute you and tell all kinds of vicious lies about you because you follow me! 12 Rejoice, be glad, because your reward in heaven is great - they persecuted the prophets before you in the same way.

The bottom line is - and we have to remember: Yeshua commanded us to spread the Gospel; but He also told us not to waste our time on hard-nosed unbelievers:

2 Timothy 2:14 - Keep reminding people of this, and charge them solemnly before the Lord not to engage in word-battles. They accomplish nothing useful and are a catastrophe for the hearers.

Matthew 7:6 - "Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

To Murdock and all the other atheists who have websites designed to disprove Yeshua, we have this to say:

  • If you try to take on God, guess who will win!

  • Since you obviously HAVE heard about God and the Bible, you won't be able to feign ignorance on Judgment Day.

We sincerely pray you will repent and ask God to reveal the Truth to you - before it's too late...

Sincerely, the Rabbis @ The Refiner's Fire
