I have no idea whatsoever, but Christianity is very difficult to understand ... much more difficult that the Eastern traditions. The practices in a Church do work if you do them, that I know. And the parables are useful. But who was Jesus, I think that is not known really, how did he have so much power ... What really is his message ? I don't know. Like if you believe in God and make some radical insight into truth, is that what he intends, or are we supposed to develop power like him? Most Christians though well meaning, they just talk about all sorts of things that don't seem very relevant. Jesus' Christianity is probably not for very many, so there is an outer teaching for the wild beast people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I especially enjoy reading the Naghammadi. Some of the writings in there are a great read. Especially Jesus in his early years going around zapping people! Apparently it's true .... in the Gospel of Thomas. Jesus was a little tearaway in his younger years.

Michi713 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I’m new to Christianity so I agreed to study with a teacher, this lady who found me online and showed up at my house! So now she is my teacher. My Bible teacher decided to start me off studying Revelations. I guess we’re going hard! She also believes we are at the end of things and is not messing around. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are all living in what is called the 'Tribulation' which is going to last for seven years. We are at the beginning of this seven year tribulation. There is no pre-rapture as many may falsely claim, there is only the one final Day, Judgment Day, where we shall all have to give account for our deeds done on earth. We shall all be raised, whether dead or alive, to meet with Jesus in the air, some to eternal damnation and others to heavenly bliss to live with Jesus for a thousand years. As we go through this seven year tribulation it would be wise for one to believe in the word of God, for there will many who are going to die, 1/3 of the worlds population to be exact. Many Christians are going to be Decapitated & Martyred for the their belief in Jesus & many who have taken the vaccine (the mark of the beast) will break out in sores ,these people will crave for death but shall not find it. Life as we know it on earth is only going to get worse & it's not going to be a pretty sight. This message was given to me through the grace of God to warn all. May God Bless you all & save you from these troubled times Save your Soul Amen The rise of the Antichrist, is conditional upon the removal or stepping aside of the KATECHON, the restrainer.

Maedros Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Society is blind to the signs of the times as they were in the days of Noe; herewith my explanation on who the antagonists are that blind us, there was a post about the trinity, very interesting to see it played out here also: (1) The Dragon Rev 12:3: "And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth" 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." (2) The First Beast Rev 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his a power, and his seat, and great authority." - This beast represents those institutions of all sizes and types that supply the means and the muscle for the dragons work. (3) The Second Beast Rev 13:11-12 11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, ed." This beast is the propaganda minister who propagates the false theology and false philosophy of the dragon which seduces the leaders and members of the nations into believing happiness and security are to found in fame, wealth and power.

rideforever Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) re KJV ... I have been looking at little at different version and I think the original Douay Rheims is the probably the best ... it is much calmer and less 'rousing' than the KJV. The KJV is a great bible to read on the deck of a British ship of the line whilst you are cruising round the colonies it rouses your spirits. But the DR has a much more sane and calm tone about it, so maybe you can listen to it without your blood getting pumped up. ... I get the sense that psychotherapy is more valuable for humans than religion in a way ... humans really need it Edited October 21, 2020 by rideforever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May God Bless you all & save you from these troubled times Save your Soul Amen I’ve noticed some researchers follow the KJV of the bible. Like you say not many here believe in the typical religion, heaven and hell etc. Maybe a form of higher loving consciousness. Either way, we all know that religions are corrupt, ruled by satanists, and religion has been a great tool for divide/ conquer. With these religious books being changed over time and or corrupted, what makes the KJV an exception? I think this is the one that people refer to Jesus Christ as Jeshua? Also how does this tie in with Judaism/ sabbateanism, they reject the idea of Jesus/ Jeshua don’t they?

peter Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 You don't think subtle meanings have been changed due to the original translation, scholars are still arguing over interpretations today Then we have to old testament and the new testament , what was wrong with the old one ,you know the one about the vindictive god that sits up in the clouds with a lump of 4x2 just waiting for you to stuff up. If the bible wasn't re hashed into the KJV version for political purposes at the very least it was a PR job for the new feel good god Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregory-peccary Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 The beauty of the KJV bible is that it is a known quantity. ALL of the mistranslations and distortions are known.

Michi713 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 The lazy are fed dumbed-down, secondhand, half-truths from rumors and media, accept them instead of finding out for themselves, and opine despite their ignorance of what is actually written. The idea that the antichrist is some current president or character in the future is false. Terms that originate in the Bible should be examined using the Bible, not idle imagination. Upon studying the Bible, the antichrist is revealed to be the apostate church, and those who seek to undermine and distort the original Christian religion. John said two millennia ago, “And as ye have heard that Antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists” 1 John 2:18. In end times “knowledge shall be increased” Daniel 12:4. Study of the Bible alongside historical events reveals that all the prophecies have thus far come true. We can also learn from misinterpretations made in the past. Understanding Revelations, in addition to the literary techniques employed, requires learning about the tabernacle, which was configured according to divine specifications and positioned to match the heavenly sanctuary. It requires knowing the atonement procedures that occurred in the sanctuary, which is comprised of the holy and most holy places, and is a shadow of what happens in the real sanctuary in heaven. It requires understanding that Christ is our intercessor and minister in the sanctuary in heaven, and the distinction between passage of time on earth and time in heaven. The book of Daniel is important to understanding some of the book of Revelations. The dreams in the book of Daniel are concerned with the rise and fall of geopolitical powers, and so is Revelations 13. That said, look at the how Revelations 13 characterizes the end time to determine whether it describes the modern age. Papal Rome is the little horn power that arose out of the fourth beast, Rome, in Daniel 7. “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws” Daniel 7:25. The papacy is also known as the first beast rising out of the sea in Revelations 13. The second beast rising out of the earth that has two horns like a lamb and speaks like a dragon is the United States government. The lightning that came down from the sky are the atomic bombs that were dropped around the world prior to and during WWII. This is when The US became a world superpower. The second beast (US) deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image of the first beast and gives breath to it. The image of the beast that the United States tells the people to make is the modern state of Israel, which was recognized as an independent nation by the United States in the year 1948. Harry Truman, who influenced the United Nations to support the decision, was the 33rd president of the United States and a 33rd degree Freemason. “And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who do not worship the image of the beast to be slain” Revelations 13:15. The newly formed state of Israel was populated, given political power, and was involved in many violent conflicts. Given this geopolitical interpretation of Revelations 13, is the mark in verse 13:17 the six pointed star, the Star of David? The mark, name, or number of the name is received by all to buy and sell, but not worshipped by all. In Revelations 14:9, the third angel makes the distinction “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on the forehead or on his hand, he also will drink wine of God’s wrath.” If the mark was literal, like a microchip or vaccine it would condemn everyone who has been forced to receive it. Is the mark of the beast a spiritual as well as a literal one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
