"The Spirit of truth reigns; and the pillars of Hellenism are falling."
What "Spirit of truth" then? Walls and contradicting denominations?
Look at the pillars in the court-house,
they reign upon you
like you've had your eyes walled off.
So what were these pillars of Hellenism that you so despised? The decor? You know nothing of foundation of ancient religion, it is so easy to ignore for someone who might care so little about any actual and investigated truth.
By the way, Hellenism isn't what they called their religion (The word Hellenism comes from Hellen of Troy). They basically got as far as calling their religion "Theism." in the sense that they labeled (anti-Olympian) Christians and Jews as "Atheists."

From Wiki for your edification: The Greeks (Greek: Έλληνες) have been identified by many ethnonyms. The most common native ethnonym is "Hellen" (Ἕλλην), pl. "Hellenes" (Ἕλληνες); the name "Greeks" (Latin: "Graeci") was used by the Ancient Romans and gradually entered the European languages through its use in Latin. The mythological patriarch Hellen is the named progenitor of the Greek peoples; his descendants the Aeolians, Dorians, Achaeans and Ionians correspond to the main Greek tribes and to the main dialects spoken in Greece and Asia Minor (Anatolia). Among his descendants are also mentioned the Graeci and the Makedones.
That would make those "pillars" anything to do with Greek language and culture, in this case I'd say philosophy and concepts of life after death in particular.

I think people need to let go of their pride of thinking they're right. If what I believe can be disproven scripturally beyond a reasonable doubt, I will drop my old thinking like a bad habit. I was raised Catholic (if you can call it that) and had the "hell" mindset shoved down my throat but it's simply not there in an accuretly translated Bible. I am now a Christian, that doesn't believe in hell, and believes there will be a physical fire for sinners in the Valley of Gehanna. Isiah 66 23-24 describes the physical fire. Ezekiel 37 1-14 even tells what happens to these bones after Jesus millenium reign on earth. I also believe the Holy feasts are what the Bible tells us they are, a "shadow of things to come". At the consumation of the ages, God will be all in all.
I highly suggest you read this article and snoop around this website and test it for yourself. but most importantly, God Bless you guys!

The "H" is not pronounced in the Greek...
