Is the Church really the traumatic memory of the escape of a group of people from a cataclysmic event (the flood)?
When Moses went up on the mountain, God gave him the LAW. Over the course of time, the LAW grew to approximately 635 commandments. The LAW is a Process. Violators of the LAW were stoned.
As time went by, the Pharisees started to edit the LAW. They added and tweaked it. By the time Jesus arrived, the Pharisees had added so many things onto the LAW (which was already difficult to obey) that it was next to impossible for the common people to keep it. Without a focus on LOVE, the LAW can become cold and merciless. Without LOVE, the LAW becomes an IDOL.
The Product of the LAW is supposed to be LOVE. What happened over time was the Pharisees became so focused on the Process, they forgot the Product. Any religion that forgets LOVE is worthless, because God is LOVE.
Faith without LOVE is nothing (1 Cor 13). Faith without GOOD WORKS is dead (James 2). Faith is a Process. When a "faith alone" philosophy is followed, it produces hypocrites; the focus falls off of LOVE. The Process becomes an IDOL. The Product of true faith is GOOD WORKS (Hebrews 10:24).
GRACE is the Process that empowers people to LOVE without the Process becoming a false god. The reason being: the Process is the same as the Product – GRACE is LOVE.
[Titus 2:11] For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. 12It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13while we wait for the blessed hope--the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
For the garden to prosper, it takes constant care. The farmer must tend it daily. Left alone it ceases to exist.
Pets take constant care. Gardens and farms take constant care. PEOPLE take constant care. Even stone and steel wear out without constant care.
This is how we KNOW the ALMIGHTY is. People think the Universe, galaxies, stars, planets, and etc. just exist and prosper on their own. But you can easily see, if the garden is left untended, it ceases to exist.
In order for anything to continue in a working condition within the Universe, it must be cared for. This is a thermodynamic law: entropy.
From this you SHOULD see the Universe and everything in it, including everything on the Earth, would cease to exist if Almighty Most High was not moment by moment loving and caring for it.
If a person comes along through history, and by his or her extraordinary efforts, saved his people from some terrible calamity. The people would want to remember the Hero.
Sometimes people make paintings of the individual, sometimes statues. If the materials are strong, like stone or metal, they last for thousands of years. But the trouble with this is, sometimes - entire peoples pass away. Then there is no one left behind to tell us what he or she had done or who the statue is of. Perhaps there is an inscription, but then languages pass away.
So the only choice there is to remember an ancient Hero of the people, is to deify them. The Hero has to become a saint or a god to be remembered. In worship, the story of the Hero is repeated keeping the memory fresh and alive.
If the person is simply remembered as a man, only his friends and relatives will remember him. The Heroes memory will only live as long as they live. After that, that person would pass out of human memory.
Is it bad to make someone a Saint? No. Why? Human beings need inspiration that lifts them and inspires them to maintain civilization. Life is hard. Without strong positive inspiration, mankind drifts into barbarity. Civilization is so very thin. It dose not simply exist. Civilization must be constantly renewed with hard work and diligence.
In the United States, evil people are destroying all of our heroes. They are substituting their own faulty heroes, who inspire no one. Without GOOD STRONG HEROES, no one is inspired and civilization begins to fall apart.
For centuries the greatest Hero of western civilization has been Jesus Christ. With His great inspiration, western civilization has reached to the stars. But now evil people are working to destroy the Church. The InSpiration of Jesus is being ignored and sullied. As a result, mankind is falling back. The commitment to reach into space is faltering.
The fools who are working to destroy the Church do not realize the FREEDOM and PROSPERITY they take for granted is based entirely on the foundation established in the gospel of Jesus Christ. True FREEDOM is the knowledge of God in doing what is RIGHT. Evil behavior makes you a SLAVE. A lawless society has abandoned civilization; this is where western civilization is heading.
WAR OF THE WORLDS:
The Martian ships all look like Egyptian Pharaoh head pieces. The cobra-like snake shaped main weapon battery coming out of the top of the ships reminds one of the cobras seen at the front top of Egyptian crowns. The Martians audio/visual spy device looks Egyptian in shape. The Martians do everything in 3's. Mankind is powerless to stop them. Only God can and does stop the aliens from completely taking over the earth.
EARTH VS THE FLYING SAUCERS:
A fleet of flying saucers attacks Earth. The aliens come from a dying solar system millions of miles from earth. They are looking for a new home. Because of bad communication shots are fired. The aliens decide to take earth by force. Their methods are cruel and heartless. The interesting thing about this movie is: it was filmed in 1956, and yet when Dr. Marvin removes the alien's helmet, it is the typical 'grays' face as seen in the X-FILES and INDEPENDENCE DAY. This shows somebody in the know gave the makers of this movie a description of what an alien looked like - perhaps from the reported Roswell, NM alien crash landing.
THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL:
A flying saucer lands in a park in Washington, DC. Surrounded by tanks and soldiers, out steps a giant silver robot and a space man. In a gesture of peace, the space man reaches into his shirt to pull out a device to help humanity. A soldier thinks it is a weapon and shoots the space man. The space man warns mankind not to go into space or act in an aggressive warlike manner while going into space. If mankind does act aggressively, the giant silver robot police would exterminate mankind.
INDEPENDENCE DAY:
Sort of a combination of WAR OF THE WORLDS and EARTH VS THE FLYING SAUCERS.
Those who control the film industry are the same people who control Washington. These people for years have known about UFOs, aliens, etc.
The X-FILES had a message to tell. Once the show had completed telling the message, it ended. The last episode of the X-FILES explained in as plain English as you can get, about an invasion of the Earth scheduled to occur December 22, 2012.
Most of the world's religions agree the Messiah is coming back soon. The VEDAS describe this in the KALI YUGA. The New Testament, in Revelations. The Masons believe Osiris is coming back.
It should be obvious by now; somebody with a lot of power is conditioning us for some kind of alien invasion.
The Universe is a very big place.
[Isaiah 64:6] All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.
[Romans 3: 11] there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.
[Psalm 14:1-4] The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds; There is no one who does good. 2 The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there are any who understand, Who seek after God. 3 They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt; There is no one who does good, not even one. 4 Do all the workers of wickedness not know, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call upon the Lord?
Is this man the Antichrist? |

It has been pointed out on other web sites, there is a specific Longitude where mega-storms proliferate on the Sun and all the planets. 19.47deg. This is where hurricanes and typhoons originate on the Earth. This is where the Great Red Storm on Jupiter is. This is where Mt. Olympus on Mars is located. The list goes on. This is the Longitude NASA lands most of their spacecraft on other worlds. Mars Pathfinder landed at 19.47deg.
It has been pointed out, if you divide the circle into 666deg. - 19.47deg. becomes 36deg.; a whole number. This strongly suggests the 666deg. circle is the original and our 360deg. circle was adapted to a older established mathematical/geometric system.
Considering the Earth circle is based on a 360 day solar year, then perhaps the 666deg. circle is based on a 666 day solar year.
Looking over the length of time each planet takes to travel once around the Sun, Mars is closest at 687 days.
It has been theorized that in the past Mars had a much more elliptical orbit - egg shaped. It has also been suggested that in the past Mars periodically came very close to the Earth. Close enough to cause global devastation. The date given for the wandering planet theory is the date Mars and Earth are at their closest straight-line distance one from the other. If you observe the major mountain ranges on the Earth, they occur in the plane of Mars orbit. Indicating in the past, Mars came close enough for her gravity to cause continental crust changes on the Earth.
The average temperature on Mars today is 21deg. f. In Mars ancient 666 day elliptical orbit, she would have had a much warmer climate.
The coming of the evil one, may be Mars orbiting close enough to the Earth to cause world wide devastation. It would also be the best time for alien invasion from Mars. This may have happened in the distant past. Devils from Mars killing and enslaving humanity. Thus you can see how the number 666 is associated with evil.
But, today Mars' orbit is much more circular. Her solar year is 687 days. Perhaps the Solar System wide disaster called the Flood changed Earth's solar year to 365 days and bumped Mars into a 687 day circular orbit. At any rate, Mars today, even at her closest approach to the Earth is still far enough away to have little or no effect on our planet. And whatever civilization that used to live on Mars is long since frozen and dead.
...
It is said the planets and stars are actually bulging tetrahedrons. If you place a tetrahedron pyramid within a sphere, the lower vertex is at 19.47deg.
Every star and planet in the Universe probably has the same tetrahedral design. Apparently this design focuses energy at 19.47deg. If you wanted unlimited energy, you could design inductors to tap into this energy.
I think the ancient technologically advanced peoples positioned their main cities and temples at this latitude to tap into this energy and transmit it as needed. The misuse of this energy destroyed them.
I believe this energy is the very power of God; the power that created the Universe, and created us. It is "the Force".
If you learned how to tap into this power, you could use it to jump from star to star, planet to planet.
If you convert a circle from 360deg. to 666deg. 19.47 becomes 36. 36 means "commitment to Christ". When you commit your life to Christ - you have access into the power of God. Jesus says: "no one comes to the Father accept through me."
At the heart of my mind, no matter what it seems, the King and Creator of the Universe, the One who answers my prayers, the One who forgives my sins, the One who sits on the throne of Heaven, will always be GOD.
Praise GOD!

The Masons, Illuminati, Priori De Sion run the world governments; it is because of this you should pray! It is because of this world events seem to be getting worse; because these people are preparing the earth for Osiris return.

Quetzalcoatl will return, the age will end, the 26,000-year cycle will begin again, and the world will be transformed.
Quetzalcoatl carries the Caduceus - identifying him with: Jesus (John 3:14), Moses (Numbers 21:9), Enki (Inca, Tonka, Ankh, Ange(l)), Mercury, Hermes, and Thoth.
On a side note: CADUCEUS means - Herald/Messenger/Word of God. HERALD in Greek - karux - cruxs - CROSS. From this I feel the name JESUS formed as a result of long usage of the word CADUCEUS. Over hundreds of years the CA fell off to leave DJUCEUS - which evolved into JESUS. This isn't bad or wrong because CADUCEUS means "Word of God" which is exactly what the Lord is. The Crucified Christ is the perfect image of the CADUCEUS.
CADUCEUS is also phonetically close to KUDOS (glory, praise, honor). "KUDOS IESEUS" said quickly sounds the same as CADUCEUS. So CADUCEUS would be saying "Praise the Lord" in slang Greek.
Looking in the Hebrew dictionary, Kadesh + Iah = Holy Lord. Also, "IYSH" = champion, great man, servant. KADESH + IYSH = Holy Champion; KaJesus.

Hanukkah, the Feast of Lights, the middle candle of the Menorah is called SHAMASH (the Assyrian and Babylonian sun god) - some say this represents the Messiah.
According to the Bible, the Lord is the one who says He is coming back. He is Lord of all the Earth.
The devil was exiled here, he has always been right here on earth with us. So it cannot be the devil coming back.
The philosophy of The Matrix Reloaded mixes up world philosophies. Trying to determine the essence of existence. The Source - Architect of the Matrix (in other words - God) is a cold and merciless engineer; simply playing an interesting computer game. Fine tuning his software design.
In an effort to define man, the audience is subjected to an erotic dance scene. Sex. Free sex in other words is the movie’s idea of what man is and true freedom. But then in the next scene Morpheous’ ex girlfriend makes a pass at him. Her new man stops it. This scene contradicts the free sex scene. If sex is free, then no one belongs or can lay claim to another person. No rules. The law is the foundation of civilization. Without it, chaos would rule and human civilization would cease to exist.
The movie is blindness. If a remnant of mankind were to survive, they would have to adhere to strict rules in regard to mating. Free sex = disease; sexually transmitted diseases. In a surviving remnant of humanity the availability of medicine would be limited. In other words, if you caught a simple infection, you would probably die from it. A bladder infection would kill you.
The person who defines himself by sex is lost. You do not introduce yourself like: "hello, I am heterosexual". You introduce yourself like: "hello, my name is William".
A person’s sex is a CHARACTERISTIC of that person; one of the many pieces of a larger pie that makes up an individual. You can’t define a person by sex. If you do, that person is very shallow indeed. Most people are much more complex than that.
No, a man is simply a man. I am who I am. To accept yourself as you are, defines who and what you are.
The White Buffalo says: "speak the truth humbly, and you will be a man."
I am John, glad to meet you.
This problem is in ALL denominations.
Why? The devil. People joining the priesthood for all the wrong reasons.
You would hope that people become ministers, priests, bishops, and deacons because they had a calling from God. But it is obvious that is not the case. In the past, it was a tradition if a family had many children, that several of them would become priests and nuns. Not all of the individuals who were persuaded to join the priesthood REALLY wanted to be there. It is obvious that some of them do not believe in God and had no intention of living godly lives.
So the weeds grow along with the wheat.
How are we to respond to this crisis?
Historically, the ungodly practices of the Church led to the Protestant Reformation. In those days, some individuals within the Church demanded money in exchange for forgiveness of sins. Priests and bishops, though having given a vow of chastity, had wives and families, castles and fortunes. The ungodly behavior of these fake bishops and priests drove many people away from the Church. Great physical violence was done to individuals to try to force them back into the Church.
If the fake priests and bishops really knew God, they would have known FAITH is the most personal of things; you cannot force a person to believe in God. True faith comes from inside the individual heart. You cannot force a person to believe in God by external means. The seed of faith must be already planted within the individual heart (by God through the love of the parents). When the holy Word of God waters that seed, it will grow.
The response of the people of the Church should be: to carry on. It is another test of our faith. Do not let these perverted ministers turn your faith in God and the Church. That is what the devil wants.
Scripture can truly only have one (1) correct interpretation.
There are over 100,000 Protestant Denominations.
Prove to me beyond a shadow of a doubt:
1. Which one has the absolute correct interpretation of scripture?
2. Which one has absolutely perfect doctrine?
3. Prove that all the leaders of the denomination have lived perfectly spotless holy lives.
4. Show documented proof that that there has been no historical wrongdoing in any aspect of the denomination.
5. Prove every sermon that your preacher preaches is absolutely faultless.
Go for it!
If you cannot meet the 5 conditions listed above, then your attack on the Catholic Church is evil.
[John 8:7] But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."
[Luke 6:37] "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
He who lives in a glass house, should not throw stones.
The referance to BLUE SKIN is found of: Osiris, Amen, Shiva, Rama, Yu Ti, and others. Most of the Hindu gods are shown blue. A person of royal ancestry is refered to as BLUE blooded. In scripture, "living" is used to refer to God. LIVING is close to LIVID. LIVID = zealous, furious, blue (a description of God in the Old Testament).
The reference to mermen/mermaids is found of: Ea/Enki, Oannes, Neptune/POSEIDON, Vishnu, Dagon, and others. From an African tribe called the Dogon, a story has been passed down through the ages, of mermen coming to earth to help mankind re-establish civilization after the flood. The Dogon even have ancient pictures of rockets shaped like Egyptian obelisks. The name which links the ancient civilizations ruled/influenced/manipulated by these mermen is ENKI: Inca, Tonka, Ankh, Ange(l).
An ange(l) is a messenger, communicator of God. The word ANGEL is ENKI with an L attached. ENKI and ANKH are essentially the same word. The ANKH looks like a microphone. Putting that together with ANGE(L) you can understand the ANKH was actually an audio-visual communication device. The ANGE(L) communicated the WORD of the Lord. ENKI means "Lord of the Earth". The ANKH may have had several functions: as the Tao/Way (possibly a GPS navigation/locating device), a mirror (two-way visual receiver/transmitter), the word of the Lord (audio transmitter/receiver, cell phone), and protection (a weapon of some kind).
...what connects Jesus (John 3:14) and Moses (Numbers 21:9) to Enki is the CADUCEUS:
And the CADUCEUS connects ENKI to Mercury, Hermes, and Thoth.
These beings were the kings of many ancient cities. They mated with humans. People of royal ancestry refer to themselves as being BLUE-blooded. In reality they are saying: "we are descended from alien kings/gods." The ancient Nephilim/Anakim (Gen 6) kings demanded worship. This order was passed down through the ages to humanity.
Somehow Christianity latched onto idea of believers being fish people.
(spirit = disembodied voice)
Wanka Tonka = Great Spirit (American Indian)
Walkie-Talkie
When using a walkie-talkie, a common thing to say when the communication is strong is "LOAD and CLEAR". "LOUD and CLEAR" is also used to acknowledge an order from a commanding officer.
Let’s set up the situation. The mother ship is orbiting the planet. Using a shuttlecraft, part of the crew has landed on the surface of the planet. Interested natives watch in fear and wonder at all the unusual events. Whenever the crew has need, they lift a device to their face and communicate with the mother ship. As they use the communication device:
1. They concentrate intently on the object.
2. The orders are acknowledged frequently by the word(s): Yeshuz (yes sir, amen, loud & clear).
3. As the crewmembers communicate using the device, occasionally they look up at the sky.
4. The ANKH is the only apparent method the crew has to communicate with the orbiting mother ship.
5. The device can be used to locate and save crew members in case of emergency.
If a person without knowledge or understanding watched and listened:
1. They would see the being worshipping the object.
2. They would hear the holy word used to acknowledge orders from the sky.
3. They would note the reverence, fear, respect used by the heavenly beings as they obeyed the orders looking up at the sky.
4. No one speaks to the god in the sky accept with the holy word using the holy object.
5. A sky being is hurt, he prays to the object, other beings fly to his rescue, and save him.
And so it came to pass that a talking carp, shouting in Hebrew, shattered the calm of the New Square Fish Market and created what many here are calling a miracle.
Of course, others are calling it a Purim trick, a loopy tale worthy of Isaac Bashevis Singer or just a whopping fish story concocted by a couple of meshugenehs.
Whatever one calls it, the tale of the talking fish has spread in recent weeks throughout this tight-knit Rockland County community, populated by about 7,000 members of the Skver sect of Hasidim, and throughout the Hasidic world, inspiring heated debate, Talmudic discussions and derisive jokes.
The story goes that a 20-pound carp about to be slaughtered and made into gefilte fish for Sabbath dinner began speaking in Hebrew, shouting apocalyptic warnings and claiming to be the troubled soul of a revered community elder who recently died.
Many people here believe that it was God revealing himself that day to two fish cutters in the fish market, Zalmen Rosen, a 57-year-old Hasid with 11 children, and his co-worker Luis Nivelo, a 30-year-old Ecuadorean immigrant.
Some people say the story is as credible as the Bible's account of the burning bush. Others compare it to a U.F.O. sighting. But the story rapidly spread around the world from this town about 30 miles northwest of Manhattan, first through word of mouth, then through the Jewish press.
The two men say they have each gotten hundreds of phone calls from Jews all over the world.
"Ah, enough already about the fish," Mr. Rosen said today at the shop, as he skinned a large carp. "I wish I never said anything about it. I'm getting so many calls every day, I've stopped answering. Israel, London, Miami, Brooklyn. They all want to hear about the talking fish."
Here then is the story, according to the two men, the only witnesses. Mr. Rosen, whose family owns the store, and Mr. Nivelo, who has worked at the shop for seven years, say that on Jan. 28 at 4 p.m. they were carving up carp.
Mr. Nivelo, who is not Jewish, lifted a live carp out of a box of iced-down fish and was about to club it in the head.
But the fish began speaking in Hebrew, according to the two men. Mr. Nivelo does not understand Hebrew, but the shock of a fish speaking any language, he said, forced him against the wall and down to the slimy wooden packing crates that cover the floor.
He looked around to see if the voice had come from the slop sink, the other room or the shop's cat. Then he ran into the front of the store screaming, "The fish is talking!" and pulled Mr. Rosen away from the phone.
"I screamed, `It's the devil! The devil is here!' " he recalled. "But Zalmen said to me, `You crazy, you a meshugeneh.' "
But Mr. Rosen said that when he approached the fish he heard it uttering warnings and commands in Hebrew.
"It said `Tzaruch shemirah' and `Hasof bah,' " he said, "which essentially means that everyone needs to account for themselves because the end is near."
The fish commanded Mr. Rosen to pray and to study the Torah and identified itself as the soul of a local Hasidic man who died last year, childless. The man often bought carp at the shop for the Sabbath meals of poorer village residents.
Mr. Rosen panicked and tried to kill the fish with a machete-size knife. But the fish bucked so wildly that Mr. Rosen wound up cutting his own thumb and was taken to the hospital by ambulance. The fish flopped off the counter and back into the carp box and was butchered by Mr. Nivelo and sold.
The story has been told and retold, and many Jews believe that the talking fish was a rare shimmer of God's spirit. Some call it a warning about the dangers of the impending war in Iraq.
"Two men do not dream the same dream," said Abraham Spitz, a New Square resident who stopped by the store this week. "It is very rare that God reminds people he exists in this modern world. But when he does, you cannot ignore it."
Others consider it as fictional as Tony Soprano's talking-fish dream in an episode of the "The Sopranos."
"Listen to what I'm telling you: Only children take this seriously," said Rabbi C. Meyer of the New Square Beth Din of Kashrus, which administers kosher-food rules. "This is like a U.F.O. story. I don't care if it is the talk of the town."
Whether hoax or historic event, it jibes with the belief of some Hasidic sects that righteous people can be reincarnated as fish.
Unnatural occurrences play a part in the mystical beliefs of members of the Skver sect. On the other hand, some skeptics note that the Jewish festival of Purim, which starts Monday night, is marked by merriment and pranks, which might be a less elevated explanation for the story.
Some community members are calling the two men an enlightened pair chosen to receive the message. Others have said that Mr. Nivelo may have been selected because he is not Jewish.
"If this was a story concocted by a bunch of Jewish guys, it might be suspect, but this Luis, or whatever his name is, he has no idea what this means," said Matisyahu Wolfberg, a local lawyer.
"If people say God talks to them, we recommend a psychiatrist, but this is different," said Mr. Wolfberg, sitting in his office with his black hat resting atop his computer terminal.
"This is one of those historical times when God reveals himself for a reason. It has sent spiritual shock waves throughout the Jewish community worldwide and will be talked about throughout the ages."
Zev Brenner, who last week broadcast a show about the fish on "Talk Line," his talk radio show on Jewish issues, on WMCA-AM (570) and WSNR-AM (620), said that the story has fascinated the religious community worldwide.
"I've gotten calls from all over asking `Did you hear about the fish?' " he said. "You can imagine, a talking fish has got people buzzing. This is going to be talked about for a long time to come, unless it's somehow verified as a hoax, which is hard to imagine, since the proof has been eaten up."
Mr. Brenner said that the story is so well known that it has inspired a whole new genre of wedding jokes for Jewish comedians.
"The station had an advertiser, a gefilte fish manufacturer, who considered changing his slogan to `Our fish speaks for itself,' but decided people would be offended," he said.
As for Mr. Nivelo, a practicing Christian, he still believes the babbling carp was the devil. His wife told him he was crazy, and his 6-year-old daughter even laughs at him.
"I don't believe any of this Jewish stuff," he said. "But I heard that fish talk."
He said that Spanish-speaking rabbis have been calling his home every day and night asking him to recount the story.
"It's just a big headache for me," he added. "I pull my phone out of the wall at night. I don't sleep and I've lost weight."
Mr. Rosen said that he spoke to his wife, who was visiting Israel, and that she had already heard the story from someone else.
"My phone doesn't stop ringing," Mr. Rosen said. "Always interruptions, people coming in and taking their picture with me."
He paused and turned to Mr. Nivelo, who was cutting salmon for a customer.
"No, too big," he said. "She wants appetizer."

And then the cycle would begin again.
Our history books may be total garbage.
When a person senses they are loved, they have a deep inner sense of value.
If a person senses they are valuable, they treat themselves so. And so love from others promotes a person to love themselves. This inner love enables a person to love and value others. People who feel they are worthless treat others as worthless. They kill and cheat and steal from others because no love and value and respect is present.
Faith in God comes with the realization that even if the whole world hates you, God is always there to love you. You are never alone when you believe in God. God is love.
When a person believes in Jesus but does not believe He is God, they become disconnected. Somehow that person never crosses to that place of intimate oneness with Christ. They read scripture, pray all the time, go to church endlessly, but because in their heart, they never really accepted Christ as God, they remain on the outside.
They have to be taught the same things over and over and over because they know something is missing, but they never can really put their finger on it.
The void that person must cross is accepting Jesus Christ as God, and talking to Him as Lord and friend. By accepting His real presence and person in the Eucharist. One in the Godhead of the Trinity – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
I know many cannot accept these things. And there are entire churches and multitudes of people who do not accept these things, but that is the void they must cross to realize eternal life.
[John 17:3] Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
To KNOW GOD is to be one with Him intimately. This is the essence of being Catholic.
The DOVE is the symbol of peace and the Holy Spirit. The beginning of war? The Holy Spirit leaving??

May God have mercy on our souls.
[1 Cor 11] 27 Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 28A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. 29For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself. 30That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.
[Genesis 3:7] Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
[1 Corinthians 1:30] It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God-that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.
By having Christ crucified, God put the apple back on the tree, nullifying the sin of Adam and Eve.
After Jesus died on the cross, the 'apple' was properly harvested and planted into the ground. On the third day, the seed germinated, as Jesus was born again. The resurrected Jesus is the tree of life. Whoever eats the fruit of the tree of eternal life, will live forever. This is the Eucharist - the Lord's Supper.
[John 6] 51I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world." 52Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" 53Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.
Even if you have great power and travel to far away places to gain possession of the Golden Apple; if you are not worthy, God will not let you have the gift of eternal life. Without God, such an adventure will only end in ruin.
...but then how would you know...if the being standing in front of you is God?
Wouldn't it be sensible to ask for some proof? Maybe that is why He does not appear to many people. That is exactly what Jesus encountered. If God came among us, how could He prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, He was God?
Alien beings of advanced technology could reproduce our entire history - show you every second of the Universe. They could even say - there is no god. But the only way you could know there is absolutely no God - is if you were all knowing and omniscient. But if you were omniscient - you would be God. That is the same corner all atheists paint themselves into (that is called 'catch 22').
To complicate their dilemma, the Lord of Creation hides Himself from un-believers. You cannot find God if you do not believe He exists. If you do not believe in God, He could be standing right in front of you, and you would not recognize Him.
How could you protect yourself from fakes? Wouldn't alien beings coming to earth and showing counterfeit proof they were the source of all the religions of the earth, be the biggest con of all? The greatest lie.
The Church goes through a rigorous process to determine if a person is a saint. But that is only after they are DEAD.
If you walked into a room and said: "I am Abraham Lincoln". How could anyone prove you are not? Especially if you studied every aspect of the person. Looked like him, sounded like him, knew his entire life. If you had perfected cloning, you could even duplicate the very person. But it would still not be the genuine person; it would be a clever copy.
Having him quote Scripture wouldn't do it, the devil has the entire bible memorized. Miracles wouldn't do it, a technologically advanced civilization could do those too.
I just don't know. For every proof I can think of, I can see how it could be faked.
The 'Raelian Revolution' shows a high level of gullibility. How does Mr. Rael know these aliens are not just saying what he wants to hear? Trust like that is not just given. Trust must be earned.
The Lord says He will return in wrath. Not mercy. To those who really do not know Him, they will see Him as the devil, because He is not going to be nice.
Some think the Destroyer is the devil, but the greatest Destroyer is God Himself. He is the Creator and the Destroyer. The devil can only destroy what God permits him to. God IS the greatest killer; as God He is the only one who has the right to take a life. God gives life, and takes it away.
Saying the devil is the Destroyer gives the devil way too much power. That is dualism. The devil is an angel created by God. That is all. Only God is all-knowing, all-powerful, ever-present, and eternal. The devil is finite; he had a definite beginning, and he has a definite end. God is infinite; He had no beginning, and He has no end.
Lord help us to recognize you - beyond a shadow of a doubt, when you return, amen!
Probably the easiest way to conquer a planet is to make believe you are God.
By giving advance notice of the disaster, the Mothman is giving all he appears to the chance to escape. In other words, if his message is heeded, those who escape will be saved.
Though his appearance is frightening, his message is a message of salvation.
Who is the Mothman? I don't know.
Evil just kills, it gives no prior warning. Therefore, the Mothman is not evil.
The Mothman notices, when he is noticed.
The Mothman only comes before a major disaster.
How many millions have seen the movie: "The Mothman Prophecies"?
America has been warned.
All Glory and Honor are yours Almighty Father, now and forever, Amen!
