God the Creator....
- Mother Earth
"Creator" is the first name God reveals to us about Himself in scripture.
Genesis 1:1, the first chapter and the first verse in the Bible show us who our God is. He is CREATOR.
He is not "a" creator or someone who simply "creates," He is THE Creator, because "Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made" (John 1:3).
"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." -Genesis 1:1
"I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made." -Psalm 139:14
"Create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me." -Psalm 51:10
Nothing Is Coincidental
Man created from Dust
Religion is man-made. It's as simple as that. A fast highway where you can just join in and you are saved; religion provides a false sense of security. As long as we confess we sin we are good, right? False. You have to actively battle against the sins. Faith in God is no fast highway but a slow journey you must undertake alone. Therefore your relationship with God, the Father, is very personal. Your battle is every single day in becoming a better human being.
Nature itself proves the existence of God (Romans 1:20).
Everything God does is a natural process that is created with a Godly spark.
Job 33:4 The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Daniel 4:31- 36 God made Nebuchadnezzar eat vegetation to humble him and to acknowledge the true God. (Notice God forced him to eat vegetation not meat).
Gardening may help reduce cancer risk, boost mental health
A new study shows that people who work in community gardens receive various health benefits that may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases like cancer and can improve mental health. (source medicalnewstoday.com, 2023)
God the Gardener
God created the heavens and the earth, makes the sky, creates fish, makes wild animals, and creates mankind. But he doesn't use either one of the verbs when it comes to the Garden. When it comes to the Garden, He plants. Imagine that...
"Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden.... The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground-trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil" (Genesis 2:8, 9).
He not only planted this garden, He refers to it in a very personal way. In multiple places, God's Word refers to the Garden of Eden as "the garden of God" or "the garden of the Lord" (Isaiah 51:3).
We have wrongly been led to believe that killing animals for food is a necessity. The real truth we do not need to eat any animal based food but that we let our gluttony overtake our compassion and sense of morality. Therefore veganism is not extreme, it is the moral baseline.
Garden of Eden, Animal Friendly Paradise
There are more than 800.000 edible plants and yet humanity uses only 200 of them because Satan thought them its ok to ignore 'Thou shall not kill'.
Genesis 1:29 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.
Statistically wrong fact about meat - Carnivore revolution Homo erectus seems like a fable
For a long time, paleontologists were convinced that meat made modern humans. When Homo erectus started eating meat about 2 million years ago, he ingested the extra calories that gave him a bigger brain, a shorter intestinal tract and some anatomical changes. Researchers inferred this from excavated bones that show cutting marks.
But come on, say US researchers who examined the evidence for the meat-eater theory, this is a statistically distorted picture. Archaeologists have mainly examined sites from 2 million years ago, and yes, they have found more cut-spur bones there. The layers from 2.5 to 2 million years old are even deeper and have simply not been explored as thoroughly. No wonder there is an 'overrepresentation' from 2 million years ago...Based on the dataset over a longer period of time, they conclude that there is no statistically defensible connection between eating meat and the anatomical acceleration that Homo erectus initiated.

The Hippocratic Oath is an oath of ethics historically taken by physicians. Its principles are held sacred by doctors to this day: as an important step in becoming a doctor, medical students must take the Hippocratic Oath. The "Father of Medicine" Hippocrates "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food" did not eat animals.
Examining 1 Timothy 4:1-3
Christ replaced the slaughter for sins.
Hebrews 10:18 And where these have been forgiven, an offering for sin is no longer needed. And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary. And when sins have been forgiven, there is no need to offer any more sacrifices. Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.
This passage is to help Vegan Christian to answer a common challenge by non-vegans Christian.
The challenge:
1 Timothy 4:1-3 says:
"Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by giving heed to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, through the pretensions of 𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗿𝘀 whose consciences are seared, forbidding marriage and 𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀 which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth."
There are multiple reasons why many historians doubt the authenticity of this letter being written by Paul. Although the passage does reflect some of Paul's central ideas, certain theological details suggest that it is likely a forgery. However, for the purpose of this discussion, let us assume that the letter is indeed written by Paul.

Clearly, this passage serves as a warning against teachings that advocate abstaining from certain foods, possibly referring to specific dietary restrictions that were promoted by the "liars" or "false teachers" at the time.
It is highly likely that the "liars" referred to in 1 Timothy 4 were the disciples of the Original Apostles and the followers of Living Jesus, who later became known as Ebionites and Nazarites. They were known to practice asceticism. Considering that their practices and spiritual understanding came directly from the Living Jesus, we will refer to them as Jesus Followers in our discussion.

In Galatians, Corinthians, and Romans, Paul referred to the Original Apostles, including Jesus's four brothers who grew up with Him, as "the circumcised." Additionally, he openly criticized Saint Peter, accusing him of hypocrisy. These instances clearly indicate that Paul harbored animosity towards the Original Apostles, which can be attributed to their insistence that all Jews should follow God's Law.

Jesus Followers advocate the adherence to God's Law, which encompasses principles such as "𝑰 𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝑴𝒆𝒓𝒄𝒚"and "𝑻𝒉𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒕 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍." Additionally, they practice vegetarianism, and some of them embrace celibacy. In Mark 10:19, Jesus explicitly stated the requirements to inherit eternal life: "𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔: '𝑫𝒐 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒎𝒖𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒓, 𝑫𝒐 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒊𝒕 𝒂𝒅𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒚, 𝑫𝒐 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒍, 𝑫𝒐 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒇𝒂𝒍𝒔𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔, 𝑫𝒐 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒅𝒆𝒇𝒓𝒂𝒖𝒅, 𝑯𝒐𝒏𝒐𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒇𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓.'"
In contrast, according to Paul, observing the Law holds no relevance to salvation.

Paul's teachings emphasize that salvation is attained through faith in Jesus' death and resurrection, rather than strict adherence to the Law. According to Paul, Jesus' sacrifice was necessary because full compliance with the Law is impossible, especially considering Paul's belief in the imminent apocalypse. The Jesus Followers' unwavering commitment to the Law may challenge Paul's teachings and contribute to his animosity towards them. He may fear that their dedication to the Law undermines the fundamental principles he teaches. Additionally, he may think that the strict requirements of the Law might intimidate believers, potentially leading them to forsake their faith, resulting in condemnation during the impending apocalypse.

Did Paul believe that it is forbidden to adhere to the Law? Many Christians, after reading 1 Timothy 4, think that Paul forbade it.
But the truth is no, he did not forbid it. In Corinthians 8:13, Paul stated, "𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆, 𝒊𝒇 𝒇𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒔 𝒎𝒚 𝒃𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒕𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒍𝒆, 𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒆𝒂𝒕 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏, 𝒔𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒎𝒚 𝒃𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒕𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒍𝒆." This implies that Paul's followers can still observe the Law. This is also reflected in Romans 14:21.

So, if one has faith, what is the significance of keeping the Law?
Jesus states in Matthew 5:17-19:
¹⁷"𝑫𝒐 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒂𝒘 𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒉𝒆𝒕𝒔; 𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒇𝒖𝒍𝒇𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎. ¹⁸ 𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒍𝒚 𝑰 𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒚𝒐𝒖, 𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒍 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒉 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒓, 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒎𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓, 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒌𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝒑𝒆𝒏, 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒔 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒂𝒘 𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒍 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒄𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒅. ¹⁹ 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻."Therefore, even if you attain salvation, neglecting to uphold the Law will result in being considered the least in the Kingdom of Heaven.

It is crucial to note that Paul never personally met Jesus and only spent limited time with those who had direct contact with Him. As previously mentioned, he even derogatorily referred to Jesus's brother and the followers who learned directly from Him as "the circumcised."
Perhaps Paul's belief in an imminent apocalypse led him to prioritize his followers' avoidance of hell rather than their status in the Kingdom. Additionally, given the limited time available for Gentiles to fully accept the Law, Paul may have felt a sense of urgency. He believed time was limited for Gentiles to fully accept the Law. This could also explain why, as time went by, he even said that Jews don't have to follow the Law.

Ironically, it is the breaking of the Law that cause apocalypse.
In the Old Testament, breaking God's law led to apocalyptic outcomes, such as the Great Flood, the Israelites' plagues and wandering, and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. These examples serve as reminders of the consequences of disobedience and the need for obedience.
However, some may perceive them as mere stories. To provide a present-day example, consider the devastating impacts of climate change caused by human actions.
The assessment report from the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issues a warning about the imminent danger of global warming. Additionally, their mitigation report highlights the significant contribution of the livestock industry to climate change. One urgent mitigation strategy is to reduce methane emissions, as methane is 80 times more potent as a greenhouse gas compared to carbon dioxide. The livestock industry is a major source of methane emissions. Therefore, one of the fastest and easiest ways individuals can contribute to mitigating climate change is by adopting a vegan diet.

Since the consumption of meat accelerates the arrival of the apocalypse, non-vegans deprive others of the opportunity to achieve a higher status in the Kingdom of Heaven. By bringing forward the apocalypse, they rob faithful vegan Christians of the time to improve themselves. This leads to causing others to stumble, which goes against Paul's warning. As mentioned earlier, Corinthians 8:13 underscores this concern.
If one causes others to stumble and contributes to the apocalypse, it is a serious violation of the commandment "Thou shalt not kill." This raises the question: what is the punishment for a sin that results in the deaths of numerous others?
Therefore, embracing a vegan lifestyle to protect the Earth aligns with the principles of Love. It is an essential aspect of a Christian lifestyle. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is not a liar or false teacher.

So, allow your will to guide you in the mission to save the world. Avoid using 1 Timothy 4:3 out of context as an excuse to contribute to global warming. Instead, firmly stand to protect the Creator's creation and live by the principle of "God desires Mercy."
We should strive to fulfill the Law to the best of our ability, aiming for greatness in the Kingdom. Let's draw inspiration from the Ebionites and Nazarites who successfully adhered to the Law. Even if we stumble occasionally, we can still avoid being considered the least in the Kingdom.
And the easiest way to "level up" is to be vegan.

Humans are said to be three/four dimensional. Quantum physics suggest there may be at least 11 dimensions.
When you think of the language of numbers, there are probably 12.
Astrophysicist Hugh Ross, founder of Reasons to Believe, shares how evidence from cosmology led him towards Christian faith. Ross explains that Jesus appears to move in at least 11 dimensions. Christ demonstrated nine spatial dimensions (which mathematically allowed him to rotate in and out of three-dimensional spaces) and two dimensions of time (Ross 1996, 59 (source)).
John 14:24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me.
Do not worship the Sun, Moon, Stars.. ..
Plants were made on day 3. The sun on day 4.
How can you have plants without the light from the sun?
There was light on day 1. God said, let there be light. We're not told where the light came from. Presumably He had a source for light.
Light exists independent of it's source anyway, if you think about it, and the sun was made on day 4 to be the light bearer from that time onwards.
It's interesting in the old testament God warns the Israelites not to worship the sun like the pagans and I believe one of the reasons God left the sun till day 4 was to show that He created the light and that He sustains all of that the sun is just His tool. So don't worship the sun worship God who made the sun. source
Bible a book of facts
the bible stated that the earth is hanging "upon nothing." (Job 26:7) 3500 years ago..
The bible though is the only book that documented Gods laws (the only God), and his message to all people. Scientists, archaeologists, and historians all agree that the bible is the most accurate historical book that has ever been written. It is not a book that is based upon mythological figures, or fairytales.
There is textual evidence that is proof. The bible and science are not enemies, they blend perfectly.
Bible is not the oldest of all known books
Before Abraham heard the voice of the one true God, in Sumeria there were many read here
demonic, pagan religions and traditions which were carved into stone tablets, and walls, by their followers. And they spread throughout the world through different cultures. Who renamed these pagan God and Goddesses, and made them their own.
The bible though is the only book that documented Gods laws (the only God), and his message to all people. Scientists, archaeologists, and historians all agree that the bible is the most accurate historical book that has ever been written. Isaac Newton (credited with discovering the Law of Gravity, the three laws of universial motion, and his refinement of calculus into a comprehensive branch of mathematics (who also did not eat animals)) believed the bible to authenticate itself better than any other historical record ever written.
In the Rig Veda which is most fundamental to (India), Indra is a sky and a war god who holds the earth and the heavens apart. According to Vedic literature he had a lightning bolt (Luke 10:18) as his weapon. In other cultures he is renamed Zeus, Jupiter and Thor (Donar). The most heard excuse to follow these old religions is that they were written down before the Bible was. But we know, that because of all this huge demonic manifestation on earth, God talked to Abraham in Sumerian many times to get his people out of there: It was in this time, amidst polytheism, that Abraham heard the voice of the one true God who said to him; Genesis 12:1 Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee
Ezekiel 8:13-15 Again, he said, "You will see them doing things that are even more detestable." Then he brought me to the entrance to the north gate of the house of the LORD, and I saw women sitting there, mourning for Tammuz. He said to me,
"Do you see this, son of man? You will see things that are even more detestable than this."
Our Vision, Our Hearing, Our Senses
The human eye can only see between 430-770Thz. Our ears can only detect sound between 20hz-20-Khz. These ranges make up a fraction of the total sound and light frequency range. This means there is a lot going around we cannot see or hear.
Pigeons can hear sounds as low as 0.5Hz and can detect distant storms, earthquakes and even volcanoes. Pigeons are also the best navigators in the world. Monkeys' hearing is slightly less acute than that of humans at frequencies below 8 000Hz, but extends up to 45 000Hz, which is an octave above the upper human limit. (source)

The Ampullae of Lorenzini/electroreceptors
Scientists discover that frogs can scream, but we can't hear them
11 April 2024, source indy100.com Scientists have recorded a frog's scream for the first time after recording the sound usually inaudible to human ears.
Scientists have revealed that frogs have a defence mechanism described as "defensive ultrasound" to warn off other animals.
With 16 color-receptive cones, the peacock mantis shrimp can detect ten times more color than a human, including ultraviolet light. Animals can detect cancer, earthquakes, pregnancy and so forth. And look how we treat them on the planet... Try to swat a fly and it will soon become clear that they're faster than you. Much faster. But how on Earth do these tiny creatures - with their minuscule brains - outwit us so easily?
The answer is that, compared with you and me, flies essentially see the world in slow motion. Some flies see six times faster than us, catching prey in mid-air in less than a second. This happens because animals see the world around them like a continuous video. But in reality, they piece together images sent from the eyes to the brain in distinct flashes a set number of times per second. Humans average 60 flashes per second, turtles 15, and flies 250. source 1, source 2
The difference between our perception of time and a fly's (or any other animal's) comes down to the speed at which the eye, and ultimately the brain, can record repeated rapid flashes of light. This is called the flicker fusion rate.
Roger Hardie at Cambridge University has tested the flicker fusion rate of flies by studying how the light-sensitive areas of their eyes work. His experiment was to insert tiny electrodes into the areas of the fly's eyes called photoreceptors. The electrodes emit LED lights, which then flash at faster and faster speeds.
Each flash makes an electrical current in the photoreceptors. The electrodes detect this current and then display it on a computer. The computer notes the number of distinct flashes the fly can see. Tests show that flies can distinguish as many as 400 separate flashes a second--six times as many flashes as we can process. Even 100 flashes per second would just appear as a continuous ray of light to our eyes. This all means that what we think is an instantaneous swat, to a fly appears to be in slow motion, allowing for an easy escape.
Newfound brain structure explains why some birds are so smart-and maybe even self-aware
Scientists have discovered that ants, after collecting the grains and seeds that they need for winter break those seeds down into halves before storing in their nests because breaking them in half keeps them from germinating even through rain and the most perfect germinating conditions. But scientists were stunned when they discovered that coriander seeds stored in the ant nest were broken down into 4 pieces instead of 2 pieces. After lab research, scientists discovered that a coriander seed will still germinate after being divided into two, but it won't germinate after it's divided into four parts. So how do these tiny tiny creatures know all this? Humans know very little, there's a lot to learn from other creatures.
Your eye color can change depending on your mood
Many victims often claimed that their attacker would suddenly have black eyes... 'Can you change your eye color?
No matter whether you have brown or blue eyes, you've probably been wondering how you'd look with green eyes, for example. You might assume that the color of your eyes is something you have no control over and that it's all genetic.
But have you ever wondered why your eyes look a bit lighter on a sunny day?
Or why the eyes of people who are in a rage seem to go dark all of a sudden?
But very few of us know that there are a number of factors including food and emotions that can change the color of our irises. Yep, your eye color can change depending not only on the lighting or your mood! We put together some interesting facts about how and why a person can change the color of their eyes. (source)'
Are Your Mind and Your Body in Sync?
Hysterical strength is a display of extreme strength by humans, beyond what is believed to be normal, usually occurring when people are in life-and-death situations.
'We hear tales from time to time of people exhibiting superhuman strength in life-and-death emergencies. After experiencing amazement over such a feat, we all wonder:
How can a regular person lift something that weighs more than a ton? Ripping doors off cars or lifting vehicles from people could be considered hysterical strength. Little medical evidence exists about such cases; most of it remains anecdotal. Physicians once believed that the adrenaline that flooded the system caused an extra boost to the muscles, allowing people to be stronger.
But that's not quite accurate. Adrenaline certainly primes the body for emergency action, it speeds up the heart and lungs, dilates the blood vessels and releases nutrients, both of which ready the muscles for quick responses'. (read more)

As a Christian I test everything against the Bible. In addition, my experiences. I have seen an angel and a deceased person in a dream. There was nothing misleading about it. Both cases had to do with justice, in both cases there was an indescribable feeling of peace and love that the devil cannot imitate, he can only imitate external forms. And that white, heavenly light. In addition, there are so many testimonies that describe exactly the same thing that we cannot ignore this. The sleep that is mentioned in the Bible must therefore be revised linguistically. - administrator. The article, the answer to the question I give below, I found on Quora and is by John Simpson (source).
"Soul sleep" is a belief that after a person dies, his/her soul "sleeps" until the resurrection and final judgment. The concept of "soul sleep" is not biblical. When the Bible describes a person "sleeping" in relation to death (Luke 8:52; 1 Corinthians 15:6), it does not mean literal sleep. Sleeping is just a way to describe death because a dead body appears to be asleep. The moment we die, we face the judgment of God (Hebrews 9:27). For believers, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:6-8; Philippians 1:23). For unbelievers, death means everlasting punishment in hell (Luke 16:22-23).
Until the final resurrection, though, there is a temporary heaven—paradise (Luke 23:43; 2 Corinthians 12:4) and a temporary hell—Hades (Revelation 1:18; 20:13-14). As can be clearly seen in Luke 16:19-31, neither in paradise nor in Hades are people sleeping. It could be said, though, that a person's body is "sleeping" while his soul is in paradise or Hades. At the resurrection, this body is "awakened" and transformed into the everlasting body a person will possess for eternity, whether in heaven or hell. Those who were in paradise will be sent to the new heavens and new earth (Revelation 21:1). Those who were in Hades will be thrown into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:11-15). These are the final, eternal destinations of all people—based entirely on whether or not a person trusted in Jesus Christ for salvation.
Present-day defenders of soul sleep include the Seventh Day Adventist church, Jehovah's Witnesses, Christadelphians, and others.
What does the Bible say about soul sleep?
Then the dust will return to the earth, and the spirit will return to God who gave it. (Ecclesiastes 12:7)
Finally, the poor man died and was carried by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried, and his soul went to the place of the dead. There, in torment, he saw Abraham in the far distance with Lazarus at his side. The rich man shouted, "Father Abraham, have some pity! Send Lazarus over here to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. I am in anguish in these flames." (Luke 16:22-24)
Jesus replied, "I assure you, today you will be with me in paradise." (Luke 23:43)
Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord. (2 Corinthians 5:8)
At death, the human spirit goes either to Heaven or to Hell. Christ depicted Lazarus and the rich man as conscious in Heaven and in Hell immediately after they died. Jesus told the dying thief on the cross, "Today you will be with me in paradise." After their deaths, martyrs are pictured in Heaven, crying out to God to bring justice on Earth.
These passages make it clear that there is no such thing as "soul sleep," a long period of unconsciousness between life on Earth and life in Heaven. The phrase "falling asleep" has confused some. Given the passages that show ongoing consciousness after death, "falling asleep" is a euphemism for death, describing the body's outward appearance. The spirit's departure from the body ends our existence on Earth. The physical part of us "sleeps" until the final Resurrection, while the spiritual part of us relocates to a conscious existence in Heaven.
When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of all who had been martyred for the word of God and for being faithful in their testimony. They shouted to the Lord and said, "O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you judge the people who belong to this world and avenge our blood for what they have done to us?" (Revelation 6:9-10)
Every reference in Revelation to human beings talking and worshiping in Heaven prior to the resurrection of the dead demonstrates that our spiritual beings are conscious, not sleeping, after death. Nearly everyone who believes in soul sleep believes that souls are disembodied at death. In the first place, it's not clear how disembodied beings could sleep because sleeping involves a physical body, and second, the mind continues to be active while asleep, as our dreams demonstrate. For more elaboration on this subject, see the book Heaven.
Faith in God doesn't equal religion
The 103-year old man Dobri Dobrev (passed away in 2018) spent decades traveling 25 kilometers from his village to the city of Sofia, Bulgaria, on foot every day to beg for money. Dressed in home-made clothes and shoes, the humble World War veteran spent his day asking for change to donate to churches and orphanages who could not pay their bills. Dobri didn't keep one cent of the money he received. He himself lived on a 80 euro pension by the government.
Who represents Christianity? The Vatican, which has been in Rome for a thousand years, where the command came to kill Christ? The pope who lets himself be called father and sits in his golden tower? None other than Christ represents Christ. Christ is not dead, and God is a living God.
Who is the real Christian here, the pope or the homeless Dobri? Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." Matthew 19:21
Paralell worlds, multiple dimensions is biblical
Physicists consider the world a 4-dimensional place: height, width, depth, and time.
Ephesians 3:18-19 May have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Dreams Portals To Other Dimensions
Scientists Say We Travel To Parallel Universes When We Dream. Modern science, as well as Native American tribes and Mexican nations, believe that we, or at least our brains visit a "parallel universe" when we dream. (source)
Dreams are an important part in the bible as they offer insight, and revelations as we see in Daniel 7:1-3. In Matthew 2:13 we see the angel of the Lord appearing to Joseph in a dream, telling him to get up and escape to Egypt.
Acts 2:17 In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.

Jesus Christ Son of God
Jesus is no mythe, folklore, legend or tale. Thousands of people witnessed his miracles, and other notable historical events.
Did you know that more than 500 people saw the resurrected Christ?
NASA records confirm the Bible's account of dark skies over Jerusalem for three hours on the day Jesus died.
Science Channel April 2022 (source)> For the first time ever, researchers find remains that prove the Romans used to crucify with nails. A nail was found hammered into one of the man's heel bones, evidence that he was crucified.
Everything vibrates and is constantly moving.
Everything is pure vibratory energy manifesting on different levels. Which Jesus Christ called realms.
Earth is a realm, and Jesus was not from this realm; John 18:36 "But now My kingdom is not of this realm."
Jesus Christ wasn't, and is not, a mythological figure. Thousands of people witnessed his miracles, and other notable historical events. Many people have witnessed the hand of God; people witnessed Jesus walking on water, saw him turn water to wine, saw him feeding 5000 people, saw him calming a storm, and also raising Lazarus from the dead. These are all documented historical facts.
Documented by such historians as Flavius Josephus and Cornelius Tacitus.
In the Library of Congress in Washington there is a letter preserved that was written by Pontius Pilate, to Caesar. Pilate describes Jesus as a man about thirty years old, with a serene impression, blue eyes, golden hair and beard that was quite a contrast between him and the people who were listening to him.
Remember, his Heavenly Father is light itself, hence the whiteness. Focus on light, not race.
There are many documents, museums, artifacts that prove the Bible's worth and accuracy all over the world. He must have been an imposing physical specimen too, since he was a carpenter (remember the era, what they worked with..)
NASA records confirm the Bible's account of dark skies over Jerusalem for three hours on the day Jesus died.
Jesus telling us we can move a mountain with a faith as big as a mustard seed, is quantum mechanics.
Everything is energy, and held together by energy, by their own frequency of vibration.
Everything is built up by subatomic particles, what you say and do creates the reality. Vibrations make things move like Tibetan monks using sound and wavelength to move rocks. Nikola Tesla ("Instinct is something that transcends knowledge") was able to get free energy through an inverter using the frequencies of creation.
Moses had a staff which by Gods hand, helped him to part the red sea and transform it into a snake that ate the snakes of the pharaoh's sorcerers. Many if not most alchemists have always studied and tried to understand science to be able to use it as a black art, it is after all the understanding of the relationship between consciousness and matter. They do so for fame, for money, or in attempt to insult God (like Lucifer). The only ones ever documented 'breaking laws of science' and moving thru the 'matrix' are the ones who believed in God and his Son - therefore
'No one can come to the Father except through me..'
Physically, Mentally and Spiritually Strong
Moses was at least 80 years old when he received the 10 Commandments.
Since he broke the first stone tablets out of anger (golden calf sight), he had to get back on the mountain to get a second pair. Can you imagine how strong he was!
Jesus was not the effeminate looking man that most images reveal Him as. He was a carpenter and carpenters in those days not only worked with wood, they worked with stones. They had no power tools of course so the wood had to be cut by using hand tools and great physical labor which must have took long, tedious hours to work with. The wood was not like what we see today; two by fours or four by sixes. They worked with large timbers of roughhewn wood. These timbers had to be cut down by hand and they had to be sawed down into workable sections. They had to be debarked and sanded. And carpenters in those days worked with stone more than they did wooden beams.
And these stones were just not simple stepping stones or mortar bricks but more like boulders and these boulders had to be chiseled and cut down to size.
Every bit of the carpenters work was extremely labor intensive and so we should realize that Jesus had to have been a big, strong man with great physical strength, yet He kept this strength under control in what is a good description of meekness: Strength under control.
So we see that Jesus was a man's man and may have had the body of a heavy construction worker. He must have been an imposing physical specimen. (<well noticed by Jack Wellman)
It's not likely that he had long hair either.
A word on Gluttony
Philippians 3:19 Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
Treating your body as a dumpster is disrespectful to God and yourself. Do not be a lazy sluggard (Proverbs 13:4) nor hypocrite by criticizing others (Matthew 7:3) because you think your sin is smaller.

The apostles had not isolated themselves from society. They were part of society, and meetings took place together. It is not a trial to live in isolation, it is only a trial and admirable when you are able to live holy amidst society in the midst of temptations. And if you can still live in seclusion and therefore have no obligations towards your family such as taking care of the elderly, then you should know the Bible well because then you have had more than enough time and no obesity should be found in you

From the very beginning freemasons have ruled over America. The United States is in no manner founded upon Christian principle. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shall not kill.
Most presidents of the United States were freemasons or Illuminati (Babylonian kabala mysticism), Skulls and Bones, B'nai B'rith, Golden Dawn, Bildenbergs (financed by Rothschild/Rockefeller). In 1776, freemasons gave the US the statue of 'Lady of Liberty'. The statue has a crown on its head shaped like Sun rays, just like the Babylonian goddess Astarte was portrayed.
What kind of Christian country would be spraying around 72 million liters of herbicides (including agent orange) in Vietnam, or spilling 24 million barrels of oil and dropping depleted uranium bombs in the Gulf War. To name a few. That is not a Christian nation.
That is the devil dragging the Christian identity to such a disgusting pit that people start to hate real Christians. If God wanted us all to be the same he would have created us so. We all received our own color, flaws and blessings.

Vladimir Putin not Christian
There are images in which Vladimir Putin looks Christian Orthodox such as his participation in the water bath, but this mutt is definitely, like Hitler, not a Christian. You recognize them by their fruits. Killing children, making them fatherless, sending a 10.000 army to rape their mothers.

15-year-old son of Chechen leader gets top job after assaulting prisoner
Adam Kadyrov, the 15-year-old son of Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, has been given a top position within his father's regime. The boy becomes head of the department responsible for his father's security.
In September, Ramzan Kadyrov distributed a video showing his son assaulting a prisoner accused of burning the Quran. According to his father, the boy showed that he had 'mature ideals of honor and dignity' and defended his religion. In October, Adam, who turns 16 this month, had therefore received a high distinction as 'Hero of Chechnya'. Allies of the Chechen leader praised Adam Kadyrov for his courage and congratulated him on his appointment.

Stop Eating Dead Bodies
The community in which Joseph and Mary lived did not slaughter a lamb to celebrate the Feast of the Passover. Joseph and Mary, his parents, went up to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover, and observed the feast after the manner of their brethren, who abstained from bloodshed and the eating of flesh and from strong drink. source
And Jesus said, "Verily I say unto you, they who partake of benefits which are gotten by wronging one of God's creatures, cannot be righteous: nor can they touch holy things, or teach the mysteries of the kingdom, whose hands are stained With blood, or whose mouths are defiled with flesh."
"And the flesh of slain beasts in his body will become his tomb. For I tell you truly, he who kills, kills himself, and whoso eats the flesh of slain beasts, eats the body of death."
1 Corinthians 10:25 Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience?
Fake Apostle Paul was added in when unbaptised Roman Emperor Constantine put together all the books in the "Holy Bible" in 325 AD and all his rubbish Epistles. He seemingly says the right stuff agreeing with Christ in some epistles, and completely flips the script in others. Dividing the Christians up to 40-50K denominations consequently.
The book we read is from Ancient Rome. Until this age when most can read, many were mislead because they couldn't read in the last 1700 years. Read the contradictions between Jesus and Paul, you can easily find them all, Obviously there will be many that defend Paul's writing, but if Paul agreed with Christ like the 12 Apostles, would there be any inconsistencies? No. 321 AD Sabbath Saturday changed to Sunday by Constantine. (From this you know Rome then was converted by the powerful works of the early Christian church, so much that it was applicable to have an empire wide announcement). 325 AD book put together by same guy, wake the world up Vegans....
Christian beliefs with a pagan stench to it
Jesus Christ was not born in December. Biblical Evidence shows that.
And even astronomers have calculated that Christmas should be in June.
In December, along with chopping trees (also pagan tradition) a pagan fest is celebrated.
Thanks to some morons we all celebrate Christmas in the 12th month. Which makes false teachers like David Icke spit out; "The Christian Bible is a symbolic book, not a literal one. The one Christians know as Jesus was actually a symbol for the sun. Ancient sun worshippers believed the sun died at the end of the winter solstice and then three days later it would be reborn at the start of its cycle - December 25".
Another pagan fest is Ostara, Easter. We widely celebrate it by eating eggs, but all this fertility stuff is pagan, not Christian. Killing lambs, chopping trees all have to do with death, killing something. God is a God of the living, and celebrating the BIRTH of Jesus or his RESURRECTION of course is not done by slaughter. It's about LIFE.
Mark 12:27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living

Dirt and the touch of God
The human was made out of dirt, and manna (mushrooms) was created from nature and instructed by God to eat. 'It will rain bread from heaven' combined with 'dew' as well as 'the quails that covered the camp', tells us that this manna that was found the next day, is a mushroom as they grow overnight under a specific climate/season. Jesus Christ mentions manna in John 6:49.
Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Job 33:4 The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
God travels in cloud
God came several times in a cloud (Exodus 24:16, 24: 18, 34:5, 40:34, 24:16, Lev 16:2, 1 Kings 8:10 etc etc).
He said the next day people would be able to gather the bread. Thus when the next morning, the arrived fog (clouds) disappeared, they could see the mushrooms.
Exodus 19:16 On the morning of the third day there was thunder and lightning, with a thick cloud over the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast. Everyone in the camp trembled.
Exodus 19:9 The Lord said to Moses, "I am going to come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear me speaking with you and will always put their trust in you."
God's angel coming down from heaven reason of violent earthquake
Matthew 28:2 There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
Different perception in Time
2 Peter 3:8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day

Another Realm
John 18:36 Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this realm." 'A realm is an area that is ruled by something. If you are a controlling cook who doesn't like anyone to do anything else in the kitchen, then the kitchen is your realm.' (vocabulary.com)
Language of Numbers
We still do not know what, who 666 is. Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six. It should not be so hard. Yet nobody knows. For centuries. Numbers like 3,7, 12 are often mentioned in the bible. Nikola Tesla had a fascination with the number 3 (read his bookMy Inventions). Tesla (his father was a christian priest) was an engineer and physicist, invented wireless electricity among other things. Everything is energy.
We still no not know what lays in the depth of the oceans. So we do not know our own planet yet man is arrogant enough to think there is no life form in space. That is very primitive. On National Discovery Raúl Berenguel had a good theory on the angel hair seen in Portugal and France, he believed it could be a micro organism which might float at very high altitudes, found in the upper layers of the atmosphere which yet has not been researched by man.
Bible, science and history hand in hand
A quick word on people who think their ancestors were monkeys.
I always say to these people that I agree. I agree that the Lord Creator created some humans, and other humans are just developed monkies (such as yourself I then add). These people always get angry when I say that. Why so, do I not agree with your own theory? Do you have monkey genes yes or no. Make up your mind.
The mathematician, physicist and astronomer and vegetarian Isaac Newton (credited with discovering the Law of Gravity, the three laws of universial motion, and his refinement of calculus into a comprehensive branch of mathematics (and inventor of the cat door/flap..)) was also a Christian. Newton believed the bible to authenticate itself better than any other historical record ever written, and of Moses' account of creation in Genesis 1. in his magnum opus, Principia, which describes his laws of motion and gravity, Newton spoke glowingly about God:
"This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent Being. . . . This Being governs all things, not as the soul of the world, but as Lord over all. . . . The Supreme God is a Being eternal, infinite, absolutely perfect. He who thinks half-heartedly will not believe in God; but he who really thinks has to believe in God."
Science was never an enemy of biblical teachings at all.
Who was the father of the big bang theory & modern cosmology ("In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1)? Priest Georges Lemaître.
Who was the founder of Boyle's Law, a major figure in the scientific revolution of the 17th century? Christian Robert Boyle.
Bible, science and history go hand in hand. Where the Israelites disappear you suddenly see them appear out of nowhere in history books. Bible and science have never been enemies either. Galileo Galilei was a brilliant Christian mathematician, astronomer and physicist who got imprisoned by the Roman Catholic church. This same 'church' that imprisoned Joan of Arc morphed together (even with best intent long time ago to stop the mass slaughter of Christians by Dioclecian (Split (the actual holy city as it's soil is soaked with blood of the saints), Croatia)) with paganism long time ago.
Atheists take pride in science, but science is no enemy of the bible.
Science still reveals old bible facts. Science can't even prove the existence of a soul.
A Christian does not have to see God to know he is there just like a blind man does not have to see the sun to feel it's is there. We should respect each others belief as long as they do not hurt others. So if you believe you were created by God, God bless. If you think your ancestors were apes, they probably were....

'The Christian Virtuoso', 'Father of chemistry'
Robert Boyle, founder of Boyle's Law, a major figure in the scientific revolution of the 17th century.
'The Christian Virtuoso', 'Father of chemistry'(as distinct from alchemy). Insisted on experimentation for scientific proof. Boyle's law relates gas pressure to volume. A founder of the Royal Society of London, founded Boyle lectures to defend Christian faith.
"His contributions in both physics and chemistry are very great in number, and he was considered in his time to be probably the greatest physical chemist of his generaion"- Dr. Henry M. Morris
"From a knowledge of His work, we shall know Him" - Robert Boyle
Father of the big bang & modern cosmology
Georges Lemaître (1894 - 1966) astronomer, physicist, catholic priest. Fr Lemaître, a Belgian priest and astrophysicist, published a paper in 1927 in the Annals of the Scientific Society of Brussels that first presented the idea of an expanding cosmos. In 1931, Fr. Lemaître proposed what later became known as the Big Bang theory of the origin of the universe.
Besides showing the compatibility of faith and science, the story of Lemaître illustrates the way in which minds and cultures shaped by the belief that God is a Trinity of reason and love have proved faithful in perceiving order in the universe. Moreover, it is arguable that belief in God who is beyond creation has freed us to theorise about the causation and change of the cosmos as a whole, rather than simply accepting the totality of material reality as an eternal, unchanging given.

Biblical Manna Are Mushrooms
Everything God does is a natural process that is created with a godly spark. The human was made out of dirt (Genesis), manna was created from nature and instructed by God to eat. God considers manna so valuable that a golden pot of manna was placed in the tabernacle. The bible gives us a very detailed description of 'manna', 'bread'; mushrooms. Numbers 11:6-9 But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes. And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium. And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil. And here is Jesus using the symbolism of flesh and bread: John 6:49-51 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."
Exodus 16 Moses also said,
"You will know that it was the Lord when he gives you meat to eat in the evening and all the bread you want in the morning, because he has heard your grumbling against him. Who are we? You are not grumbling against us, but against the Lord."
Now pay attention: And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host. And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground. And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was.
And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat. This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.
Trust Upon Science. But Trust Upon God More.
When you read the page about science on this website you'll see the many examples where God already gave information about things science would only later on be able to find. And still there are a lot of things science cannot explain. Yet there are people who will trust upon science, but have no faith in God.
These same type of people will also never cease to hurt another being like animals for gluttony. Eventhough Einstein, Socrates, Plato, Hippocrates, Tesla, Davinci and so on never ate meat.
Psalm 56:8 You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book?
Guess what.. "A new groundbreaking discovery has been made within the most basic of resources. Scientists have just discovered what they have called "The Discovery of The Millennium", and a huge revelation in human consciousness.
Scientists from Germany now believe that water has a memory, meaning that what once was seen as a simple commodity has now been closely examined to reveal a scientific revelation, uncovering a mind-blowing truth. By examining individual drops of water at an incredibly high magnification,
scientists were able to physically see that each droplet of water has its own individual microscopic pattern,
each distinguishable from the next and uniquely beautiful.
A scientific experiment was carried out whereby a group of students were all encouraged to obtain one drop of water from the same body of water, all at the same time. Through close examination of the individual droplets, it was seen that each produced different images." Read more
Human Tears As Seen Under A Microscope
Sea of glass - Revelation 4:6 and 15:2
The actual floor of the throne roomof God is described as a sea of glass - the platform of the third heaven.
What is Reality
As the humankind has it's eyes on the visible, and this is after all a Christian website, let me remind you of this. Keep in mind that nothing is as it seems. The bum on the street that asks you for a penny can be an angel in disguise. Time is not what you perceive as time.
'Space is typically thought of as a very quiet place. But one team of astronomers has found a strange cosmic noise that booms six times louder than expected. The roar is from the distant cosmos. Nobody knows what causes it.
Of course, sound waves can't travel in a vacuum (which is what most of space is), or at least they can't very efficiently. But radio waves can.' source
Guardian Angels Or The 'Third Man Factor'?
Science is always behind bible facts, but that is not a problem. It makes everything that much more interesting. Because when science finaly does catch up, it is explained very beautifuly. What science calls the 'third man factor' is your guardian angel.
There are many examples of people who were helped by their guardians, with or without their knowledge as some were asked later on where the person was who walkewd with them - and there were none.
'In 1933, British explorer Frank Smyth almost became the first person to reach the summit of Mount Everest. The journey to the top of the mountain was arduous and nearly disastrous; his entire hiking party had fallen back, unable to make it through the sweeping wind, snow, ice and low oxygen. Smyth continued, but never made it to the top - he missed it by 1,000 feet.
Later, writing in his diary, Smyth described something that scientists commonly refer to as the "Third Man Factor." He recounted how at one point on the ascent, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a slab of Kendal mint cake, broke it in half and turned around to give the other half to a companion. But there was no one there:
"All the time that I was climbing alone, I had a strong feeling that I was accompanied by a second person. The feeling was so strong that it completely eliminated all loneliness I might otherwise have felt."
Writer John Geiger chronicles the phenomenon of the phantom companion in his new book, The Third Man Factor: Surviving the Impossible. As Geiger explains, the Third Man is an unseen being that intervenes at a critical moment - when people are in great stress or in a life-and-death struggle - to give comfort, aid or support.
"Clearly there is a spiritual or religious explanation to this phenomenon," Geiger tells Guy Raz.'(source)
Guardian angels come in many forms and shapes...

Angels are sent to watch over us Psalm 91:11, 2 Chronicles 16:9, Proverbs 15:3, Hebrews 12:1
Angels should not be worshipped Psalm 103:20-21, Revelations 19:9-10, 22:8-9
Angels were happy when the foundations of the earth were laid Job 38:7
Angels mentioned in the bible Genesis 19:1, Acts 8, 12:6-11, Numbers 22-23, Judges 6:20-21, 1 Chronicles 21, Luke 2:8-15, 2 Kings 6:15-18, Judges 6:11
Recognize the angel from the demon 1 John 4:1-6
There are various types of angels, such as Cherubim's (Genesis 3:24, 2 Kings 19:15, Psalms 99:1, 103:21, 80:2, Exodus 25:19-22) who guarded the tree of life in the garden of Eden with flaming swords and the Seraphim's (Isaiah 6:2) described with six wings. Gods angels are often identified with 'eyes of fire' (Revelation 19:12, Daniel 10:6).
Archangels
GABRIEL - God's chief messenger angel and only appears to very important people (Mary in Luke 1:26-38, John the Baptist in Luke 1:11-20, Daniel in Daniel 8:15, 9:21, Zacharias in Luke 1:11-20) in the Bible. He is not called an archangel in the Bible but is considered as one because of his important messages.
RAPHAEL - (Tobit 12:15-16) is one of the seven holy angels who sit next to Gods throne. Although these seven are nearby God, they too are not called archangels.
MICHAEL - ('Who is like God') is the only angel referred to as an Archangel in Jude 1:9. In Daniel 10:13 Michael is called 'one of the chief princes'. This indicates that there are more 'chief princes'. In Daniel 10:21 however, we see that none are like Michael ('Who is like God'). Archangel Michael will battle Satan (1 Thessalonians 4:1, Revelations 12:7) and help our people (Daniel 12:1).
As we can see in Revelations 4:4-11 there are many more angels in the nearby presence of God, who might, or might not, have been mentioned by name in the Bible.
There are some strange notions regarding the Angels. One such notion is that when we die we become an angel and do good for others. It contradicts the Biblical understanding of the Angelic which informs us that we will "Judge the Angels."
The angelic has become very popular in recent years with the advent of the New Age (resurrection Sumeria) Movement. Its adherents often use Christian terminology such as "Guardian Angels" to describe consultation with the dead or evil spirits (<'ghosts'; demons).
The angels whom the Bible calls "Ministering Spirits" (Heb.1:14) have many varying different roles and functions to assist the Christians here on the earth. Not only do they minister to God before the Throne day and night but they also convey God's messages to His people. Some have specific roles and are created to perform specific tasks such as the Guardian Angels of countries, territories and individuals. The Bible only mentions the names of four angels from the countless millions that have been created. They are Gabriel, whose name means, "God is Mighty", Michael, whose name means, "Like God", Raphael, whose name means, "God Heals", and Lucifer, whose name means, "Light Bearer". All of them were created good! It was Lucifer who rebelled against God and who through pride, coveted the Throne of God and the worship that belonged to God alone. This resulted in a mighty war in Heaven.
Paranormal Investigations Fact
Why do paranormal groups go to haunted houses, why do spirits speak to mediums?
Because unclean spirits, demons, are more than eager to respond.
The angels of God are fighting the good fight, while the unclean spirits are into misleading and lying.
Paranormal investigations are great for sceptics as they give proof of the world humans cannot see or notice around them.
The devil can and will perform miracles . We must never forget that the Egyptian pharaohs had many sorcerers who all performed their tricks. God's power however showed he was the strongest. God is the only one God. Witch craft provokes God to anger, see 2 Kings 21:6, Deut 18:10-12, 2 Tim 2 and Lev 19:31. Mediums like to call themselves mediators between an individual and God. God clearly states that there is only one mediator between humans and God, Jesus Christ;
1 Tim 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
Jesus said (Matt 18:10) "See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven..."
Each believer in Jesus not only has just one but a collection of angels looking out for them, not just children.
"Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?" (Hebrews 1:14)
When you accepted Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins God assigned a host of angels to minister to you.
When Jesus was arrested on the night before the crucifixion, one of the disciples grabbed a sword and sliced off the ear of one of the perpetrators. Jesus told him to put away the sword and then said, "Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?" (Matthew 26:53) Jesus had angels assigned to him when he walked the earth.
After Jesus, who was already weak from fasting, denied the devil's three tempting offers, we are told "... the devil left him, and angels came and attended him." (Matthew 4:11)
We see they did the same thing for Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. Jesus was experiencing severe anguish at the thought of facing crucifixion the next day. After he prayed we are told "an angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him." (Luke 22:43) Our angels can do the same for us. They attend to our emotional and spiritual needs when we are exhausted.
We must remember there are two types of angels - those for God and those for Satan. With as much intensity as our angels work to guard us, the devil's angels seek to devour us like a lion. We are no match for the devil and his angels.
Invisible angel warriors made temporarily visible to humans
One possible biblical example of a parallel world occurred when the Prophet Elisha's servant became absolutely "unglued" seeing that an enemy had surrounded the two of them.
But, then his master said a strange thing to him. Elisha said, "Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them" (2 Kings 6:16).
Can you imagine what this poor servant thought of Elisha's remark? "Yah...right. Here we sit alone and surrounded by enemy forces and you want me to think there's more of 'us' than them?"
So Elisha patiently prayed for his terrified partner, "O Lord, please open his eyes that he may see. So the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha" (2 Kings 6:17, ESV).
These were invisible angel warriors made temporarily visible to humans. Yes. This story should remind all of us that when we feel utterly alone and abandoned, we are not. It only "appears" that way to us.
Our loneliness is a mirage. (source)
Cross of Calvary
The "Cross of Calvary", later called the "Maltese Cross" represented the principles of charity, loyalty, chivalry, gallantry, generosities to friend and foe, protection of the weak, and dexterity in service.
The eight-pointed cross is a symbol used to denote the eight obligations.
The four arms represent:
I Faith
II Justice
III Temperance
IV Fourtatude
The eight arms represent:

From 'The History of the Christian Church' by Henry C. Sheldon, 1895, Boston University: "The women vie with the men in courage, accompany them to the battle-field, meet the fugitives with reproaches, and endeavor to drive them back to the conflict. The men, on their part, entertain a high respect for their women. "They even suppose somewhat of sanctity and prescience to be inherent in the female sex; and therefore neither despise their counsels, nor disregard their responses." In their mutual relations, both are honorably distinguished by the virtue of chastity. Polygamy is practised only by a few, whose alliance is solicited on account of their rank. "The matrimonial bond is strict and severe among them. Men and women alike are unacquainted with clandestine correspondence. Adultery is extremely rare among so numerous a people."
Cure of loneliness
Count up the hours of life, and most of them are passed alone. Besides, there is a moral solitude far greater than physical. Who has not felt the deep solitude of a crowd? The most dangerous, because the most subtle, temptations come to us when we are alone. An unoccupied state is sure to foster what is bad in us, and our lonely hours are generally our most unoccupied ones. It was in a solitude that even our Lord had His fiercest attacks.

Romans 12:6-8 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
Heaven and Hell
In Luke 16:22-26 we can see very clearly that those in hell can see those in heaven, and vice versa. They can even speak to each other, but cannot touch each other as if there is an unvisible wall.
'The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried, and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. And he called out, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.' "But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.
And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.'
Matthew 13:50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Mark 9:48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
Matthew 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
The saints will go to Heaven, which is described as a beautiful, glorious, and eternal heavenly city constructed from many valuable materials; a new heaven and new earth that will be created; a restored garden of paradise where no pain, death, thirst, hunger or sickness exists.
Satan ruler of the world
1 John 5:19 We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.
The armies of darkness have ranks too, just like the armies of the light. And just like an army we have on earth there is a hierarchical structure. There are principalities, dominions, powers, authorities etcetera. Example: Daniel 1:20 angel fighting 'prince of Persia' (also named is a 'price of Greece'); the evil entity that rules over Persia (and he is ruled by another, going to the top and the top being Satan - hierarchy).
Armies of Light and Darkness
The christian J.R.R. Tolkien wrote, "The Lord of the Rings is of course a fundamentally religious and catholic work; unconsciously so at first, but consciously in the revision (source).
Satan prince of the power of the air
Eph 2:2: "in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient." ... He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God." In the bible its specifically mentioned where Satan settled;
Isaiah 14:13 You (Satan) said to yourself, "I'll climb to heaven and place my throne above the highest stars. I'll sit there with the gods far away in the north. I'll be above the clouds (ufo's), just like God Most High."
Luke 10:18 And he said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
The reason Satan is called a prince rather than a king is that there is only one King-Jesus Christ.
Although Satan has power and authority in the current world, his power is limited and temporary, and if God wanted to end his being and ways He could do so in an instant. God seeks in man no dogs that follow him without questions, for such love and loyalty he created dogs. God seeks you to see the difference between good and evil and choose who you want to serve yourself. God has made it clear that there is only one way to escape the power of Satan's dominion, and that is through His Son. It is Jesus who, speaking of the impending cross, declared victory: "Now the prince of this world will be driven out" (John 12:31).
Angels by our side in the air
We seem not be alone when our souls leave our body but guided to the next place:
Luke 16:22 The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side
Jesus rebuked the winds and the sea
Christ is the son of God, so of course he was able to calm the winds and sea. Matt 8:26 "You of little faith," Jesus replied, "why are you so afraid?
Words just before they died
Muhammad said: I don't know the purpose of life
Buddha said to his followers: seek for the truth
Confucious said: I am not the way
But Jesus said: I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father, except through me.
Jesus is the only one who rose from the dead.
The others three are still in their grave.
God Created All
Genesis 1 In the beginning God created the heavens (so not one heaven but multiple) and the earth. God created the humans and animals on the earth. The bible is focused on the life on earth.
Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him
Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them!
Genesis 1 In the beginning God created the heavens (so not one heaven but multiple) and the earth. God created the humans and animals on the earth. The bible is focused on the life on earth.
Jeremiah 4:22 "For my people are fools; they do not know me. They are foolish children, without understanding. They are skilled in doing what is evil, but they do not know how to do what is good."
Humans; racial diversity
Why does the world pretend there is only 1 human race?
God did not create one new universal language. His gift was unity through diversity. Diversity is still needed to protect us from ourselves. That was the whole purpose of judgment at Babel, and that judgment is still in effect. When Satan fell from heaven to earth, he contaminated the earth. Everyone is confined to a specific location. We are quarantined, we all have our own kingdom. Just as there are in a military camp separate lines for each platoon and section, men are placed on the earth so that each nation may be content with its own boundaries. God, by his providence reduces to order that which is confused.
Acts 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation
No, we are not all the same. The liberal dream is devastating to reality. For example, during COVID 2020 we saw that no distinction was made between men and women (the reason why menopause, for example, can still hardly be treated properly). On the website of a hospital in the Netherlands we read: "A fibroid occurs more often in women who do not (yet) have children and in women of African descent. A fibroid usually does not cause problems when becoming pregnant or during pregnancy." (source). In short, women of other races also have differences in how their bodies react.
Praise God By Not Destroying His Creations
"If you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid"- Albert Einstein
Love towards one's nation cannot turn a man into a wild animal, which destroys everything and calls for reprisal, but it must ennoble him, so that his own nation secures respect and love of other nations. - Alojzije Stepinac
Deut 32:8 When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
God hates the sin but loves the sinner
The talent pool has always been pretty thin when it comes to moral perfection. All the perfect people are in heaven. God works with sinners because that's all he has to work with.
Think about Noah who got drunk, Jonah ran from God, Paul was a murderer, Gideon was insecure, Miriam was a gossiper, Martha was a worrier, David who was an adulterer, Thomas was a doubter, Sara was impatient, Elijah was moody, Samson who had serious problem with anger. Only Jesus was sinless.
However, there is one sin that will never be forgiven, which gives comfort actually to all those who endured hardship.
The unpardonable/unforgivable sin or "blasphemy of the Holy Spirit" is mentioned in Mark 3:22-30 and Matthew 12:22-32. "Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin" (Mark 29) - Jesus.
Men & Woman Equal
"An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels." Proverbs 31:10
Christianity is not some pagan cult where female are less worth than males, where females should cover themselves up so much that male whores will not bother them. No no, this is not a spineless faith where males can be whores and women obedient baby factory slaves. In Christianity, males and females respect each other having received each their own gifts, talents and purpose from God.

The Honor Of Persecution
Saints: men and women of valor
The life of the saint is struggling endlessly with the world, as the shepherd is forever vigilant against the wolves.
When the saints are persecuted, they are engulfed by the love of God, for in their state of agony, they are being tested by the Lord Who is love. To be persecuted is to be loved by God; it is a sign that the Father desires that you be as His Son, to live as Christ lived, to suffer just as He suffered.
Jeremiah 17: 10"I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve."
Those who are not persecuted, who live entrenched in the fat of comfort, without enemies from amongst the wolves, and in the avoidance from the struggle that the Sword of Christ brings, are hated by God, and thus God deprives them of the honor of persecution.
As David wrote in the tenth Psalm: "The Lord tests the righteous, but the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates." (Psalm 11:5) God loved Elijah, and He thus blessed him with the oppression of Jezebel; He loved Moses and bestowed upon him the mission to confront the tyrant Pharaoh - a terrifying enterprise - to endure the arduous journey through the desert, and conduct battles against the pagans who sought out his destruction. As the Savior Himself said, "If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you." (John 15:18)
There is a lot of Christian symbolism in the movie The Matrix, we even see Morpheus quoting Christ. When Neo lacked even a little bit of faith he fell too.
Jesus walking on the water
(Matthew 14) Jesus went up on a mountain to pray. His disciples took a boat to cross the Sea of Galilee. When night came, the wind started to blow, and the waves became high. Late that night, Jesus came to join His disciples. He was walking on the water to get to the boat. The disciples saw Him walking on the water. They were afraid. They thought He was a spirit. Jesus called to them, "It is I; be not afraid."
Peter wanted to walk on the water too. Jesus told Peter to come to Him. Peter climbed out of the boat. He began to walk on the water toward Christ. Because the wind was blowing hard, Peter became afraid. He began to sink into the water and cried out to Jesus to save him. Jesus took Peter's hand. He asked Peter why he did not have more faith.
Prayer
Prayer is talking to God, and when we do so, we must do so with an open and sincere heart. Be humble, and honest when you speak to God, or else he won't bother to respond. Every healthy relationship, such as a marriage, depends on a good communication line. This is no different with our relationship with God.
- Be persistent in prayer (Luke 18:1), Jesus prayed three times repeating the same thing (Matthew 26:42-44, Mark 14:32-39);
- Pray without ceasing (Colossians 4:2, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18);
- Do not worry about what to say to God (Romans 8:26, Hebrews 5:7);
- Pray and sing with the spirit of understanding (1 Corinthians 14:15);
- Thank God in your prayers (Philippians 4:6);
- Pray for the Saints (Ephesians 6:18, Luke 22:32);
- Pray to God in solitary (Mark 1:35). Matthew 6:5-13 (See also Luke 11:1-4) And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
The Lord's Prayer
Jesus Teaches His Disciples to Pray:
After this manner therefore pray ye:
- Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.
Amen.
The prayer of the Saint has Gods delight Proverbs 15:8, John 9:31, 2 Chronicles 7:14, Psalm 145:18, Matthew 11:25. Prayers of the Saint are kept in Heaven Revelation 5:8, Revelation 8:3-4
These are the gifts to the faithful
- Visions, Dreams (Acts 2:17, Job 33:14-18, Genesis 37:05, Matthew 27:19, Revelation 7:9-10)
- Healings, Miracles (Acts 2:43, 3:3-16, 5:12-16, 6:8, 8:13, 9:32-34, 9:36-42, 19:4-6)
- Blessings (1 Chronicles 4:10, 1 Kings 8:59-60, John 12:27-28)
- Answer to prayers (Matthew 7:7, James 5:16, 1 John 5:14-15)
- Stigmata (Luke 22:44, Galatians 6:17)
- Casting out demons (Luke 10:17, Acts 8:6-7, 19:11-12)
- Punishment in Gods name (Acts 13:6-11)
- Protected against harm (Acts 28:1-6, Daniel 6:2-28, Judges 6:11-13)
Fasting
Prayer and fasting is voluntarily going without food in order to focus on prayer with God and to purify the body. Prayer and fasting often go hand in hand, but you can pray without fasting, and fast without prayer.
Do not 'fast' like pagans, who only change the time of sleeping and eating and stuff themselves with food the minute they can. That is not fasting, that is hypocrisy.
Fasting without prayer is healthy for the body, fasting with prayer dedicated to God, is pure power. The prayer from the cleansed body reaches full effectiveness.
Fasting is to make your prayer stronger. There are a number of occasions in which prayer alone isn't strong enough.
Take a look at Jesus' words: Mark 9:28-29 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
Satan knows prayer and fasting are strong, hence he will test us on our weakest moment. Matthew 6:16, 6:18, Psalm 69:10, Matthew 5:4, Acts 13:2-3, Acts 9:9,Luke 4:2,
Remember that Jesus Christ (Matthew 4:1-11) fasted forty days, Elijah in 1 Kings 19:7-9 and so did Moses in Exodus 34:28. This alone proves the importance of fasting.
Meditation
The purpose of meditation is to learn to stem the endless flow of earthly thoughts of the mind, and learn to control our undisciplined thought patterns. Learn to synchronize our minds and bodies together for the glory of God. The untrained mind will wander into thoughts of temptation, that are delivered by Satan and his demons. Concentrate on the truths of God. By simply bringing to focus conscious thought into each moment of your day to day actions this will help to focus and calm the mind.
- Psalm 1:1-2 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
- 1 Timothy 4:15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
- Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein..
Psalm 119:99. Philippians 4:8. Genesis 24:63.
(Socrates also did not eat animals..)
Physical Training
To those who dedicate themselves to their profession, and live their beliefs. They are those who will always get the job done. It begins with the mind.
The mind is the primary focus of all training. It is absolutely imperative that you learn to control your mind, and how you think. In training and actual combat the mind is the driving force behind all that instigates you to become a better combat operator. How you process your thoughts can be a motivator or an obstacle. You must decide which element you wish to incorporate into your mentality. The untrained mind is lazy and will quit way before the body will. And it is capable of deterring you from a desired goal or action.
Conflict, pain, and confrontation are not to be feared, only respected. But irrationality, disregard for training, and impatience are to be avoided at all costs. The intensity of the training, whatever it may happen to be, should mirror your willpower. Your training must be unconventional, and always push the limits. The more extreme you train, the more your mind and body will acclimate to such situations. And it will increase the chances of surviving such experiences in conflict or combat.
The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in battle.

David Goggins is a retired Navy SEAL and is the only member of the U.S. Armed Forces to complete SEAL training (including two Hell Weeks), the U.S. Army Ranger School (where he graduated as Enlisted Honor Man) and Air Force Tactical Air Controller training. David is indisputably one of the world's best endurance athletes. He has completed over 60 endurance races, regularly placing in the top five and taken home first place several times. David says that if don't give yourself a way out, your body will figure out a way to persevere.
Before appearing on screen, Chuck Norris got his kicks in the U.S. Air Force. Literally. After enlisting in 1958, Carlos Ray Norris discovered his love for martial arts while stationed in South Korea. He has earned black belts in Tang Soo Do, Brazilian jiu jitsu, and judo.
After leaving the service, Chuck Norris would go on to win many martial arts championships and discover his own martial arts discipline, known as Chun Kuk Do.
Seven Deadly Sins
Jesus Christ tells his disciple to 'get away from me, Satan!'
..."You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns."..Matthew 16:23
The devil uses vices to get his way; like my new neighbour, who keeps offering me cigarettes each day while I stopped smoking and promised to God I'd never touch one again.
It is the friend, like Peter with Jesus, who will say you make such a good match with a Baal worshipper after you have repeatedly cried out in despair their wicked ways.
It will ride the beast (the demon using the vice like a rodeo inside pushing out on it's victims tongue or eyes) without ceasing.
Matthew 4:1-11 Satan Tempts Jesus - the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor
Do you know when you are talking to Peter or Satan?
Lust: filthy mouth, wandering whorish eyes (pedophiles looking at children, married men looking at other women, so not healthy single-single-and-age-appropriate but sick wurms)
Gluttony: excessive and/or unthoughtful eating and drinking. Apathy for the suffering of animal souls
Greed: focused primarily on pursuit of material goods
Sloth: laziness or the failure to act, much BLABLA
Wrath: anger, hate, action in blind uncontrolled emotion
Envy: desire to be like someone else, have what the other has
Pride: Narcissism (like Satan, EGO)
To whom hell awaits after Judgement Day
Rev 21:8 ..the fearful, and unbelieving, the abominable, murderers, whoremongers, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Matthew 8:28-29 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. And, behold, they cried out, saying,
What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
Matthew 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
Matthew 13:50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Mark 9:48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
Beware of the Sharks
This reminds me of a lagoon in French Polynesia (source of this perfectly explained shark story).
It is one of the largest lagoons of its kind in the world. It is of beautiful turquoise color because of its white sandy floor.
The water level lowers and rises ever so slightly with the ebb and flow of the ocean tides. The lagoon is peaceful and calm, but the pass through which the tides rush is treacherous and filled with sharks that await an easy meal. One day a few tourists swam too close to the pass and began to be dragged toward danger.
The peacefulness of the lagoon had led them to be careless and lazy in keeping themselves from the sharks.
Gradually they had floated on the soft current toward the pass. Eventually they went too far and found themselves beyond the point where their own abilities could save them.
Outside help was necessary, so a speedboat was sent to rescue them. As the swimmers in this lagoon should have done, we need to put forth a consistent, positive effort every day in order to remain in safe waters. We need to develop good habits that can replace old, bad ones.
Satan desires that we become lazy and complacent.
Daily scripture study and prayer, service, repentance, and following the promptings of the Holy Ghost can keep us safely in the spiritual waters of the Lord.
Exorcism Procedure
You got a problem? You talk to God.
Jesus himself said, "After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name "(Matt 6:9). 1 Peter 5:7 Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you
Matthew 7:7 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you
Matt 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Again I tell you, you can fool a human into saying you're a devoted Christian, but you cannot fool Satan, as a demon feeds on the sins in the heart. A house that was supposedly cleaned decades ago by a priest praying to Mary was not cleaned at all. Evil was still present and was only driven away when a saint arrived and prayed to the Father directly. You do not want to please the demon so he stays put. You do not pray to anyone else than the Father. And the Father is a jealous God. Clean your house (residence, mind and soul).
Exorcism
You can fool a human into saying you're a devoted Christian, but you cannot fool Satan, as a demon feeds on the sins in the heart. In Acts 19:13-17 we see how a group of men attempting to preform exorcism too. The evil spirits give recognition of Jesus. Of Paul. But not of them.
And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
The possessed man attacks the group of men: and the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
An Unclean Spirit Returns (Matthew 12:44 (Luke 11:24-26))
When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, 'I will return to the house I left.' On its arrival, it finds the house vacant, swept clean, empty and put in order. Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there; and the final plight of that man is worse than the first. How can this be?
A person who commits sin without repenting does not have the protective influence of the Holy Ghost. Therefore, an evil spirit enters and dwells therein, thus leaving him "unto himself."
Man mauled by zoo lions after claiming God would protect him
2016 (source) "An investigation is underway after a man, said to be provoked by the biblical story of Daniel, was left severely injured after jumping into a lion's cage. The 20-year-old survived the incident at the Metropolitan Zoo in the Chilean capital, Santiago after two lions were shot dead by zoo security in front of onlookers. He left behind drawings and letters claiming that he was a prophet who was protected by God. One of them reportedly said: "Angel of mine, protect me from the enemy. I have the power to do what I want. The devil is scared of me; I will lock him up back where he never should have come out of."
Sounds familiar?
The Devil tempted Jesus to turn stones into bread, to which he replied "Human beings cannot live on bread alone, but need every word God speaks."
The second temptation was for Jesus to throw himself from the highest point of the temple and order angels to catch him.
Demonic possession
Demons do not have physical bodies like humans and animals.
Therefore they are eager to take over or destroy a body with vices.
In 2008 in the UK, the muslim Mohammed Boudjenane decapitated his neighbour and carried the head in a bag onto a bus. Before doing so, he raped and beaten a Christian woman several times, shaved her head and told her she would only be released if she would convert to islam and marry him.
He said he could not remember any of this, was suicidal and claimed to have heard voices in his head.
In 2008, immigrant Vince Weiguang Li numerously stabbed, decapitated and ate the flesh of a fellow passenger aboard a bus in Canada. Li's employer said in an interview that Li was one of his most reliable carriers; "He was very punctual and always cleanly dressed. He was a very nice, polite guy. We would've had no reason to let him go before all this happened." When Li was asked in court if he wanted a lawyer, he softly said "kill me please". He claimed to have heard 'God's voice'.
In the Netherlands in 2007, a Chinese homosexual immigrant only known by initials, had cut a young man to pieces with an axe and chainsaw, stripped the flesh of the bones, deep fried, wokked and cooked the flesh. He claimed to have done so because 'his Gods were angry at the boys Gods'.
After the murder he decapitated a bird because he believed there was an evil spirit in the bird.
Calling upon demons
Witchcraft (fortune telling, runes, tarot, druids, charmers, mediums, clairvoyance etcetera) was practiced in ancient Sumeria, Babylonia and Egypt, among many other countries such as Greece. Various sources state that (fallen)angels from the sky had given powers, certain knowledge to the humans in the time of Sumeria. The Jewish kabala, and Wicca, being one of many. The difference between God and the devil is that God's prophecies are always 100% accurate, not 50%, not 25% or 75%.
Hosea 4:12-13 My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God. They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
Demons mimick voices
Evil spirits can deceive you by mimicking the voice of your departed loved one. Of you. Of anybody. They are tricksters.
And yes, they can tell 'memories'of 'the departed one'. Because they were there when he lived, if any you are talking to their killer. Satan himself knows the bible very well and quote all of it. It does not mean he is one of the good guys. Video of talented Olena included here only because she mimicks animals so beautifully, if you close your eyes and listen to her (no sight) would you not think you are listening to animals?
Cursed objects
Deuteronomy 7:26 Don't bring something abhorrent into your house, or you will share in the curse that is on it; instead, you are to detest it completely, loathe it utterly; for it is set apart for destruction.
Demons will listen to you always, they got some itchy eager ears. That is why the majority of people love to flirt with darkness, because they always listen. Angels, those are pure and don't come when you ask. To reach God's angels, you gotta have a bond with GOD.
The example of a lost battle because the greedy human had to take an object not his. Read here
Dead God; dead results
Mexico, a catholic nation, thus christian right? No. The whole nation prays the rosary: so they pray to Mary instead of God. Nowhere in the bible you can find that you need to pray to Mary. And even angels stated you must not pray to them but to God. Still, people pray following their own human traditions, like praying to dead saints. This is not praying to God but to the devil. Because or Lord is the God of the Living. ROMAN Catholicism is not Christianity.
Mark 12:27 So he is the God of the living, not the dead. You have made a serious error
KARMA??
The 'when you do good, good comes back to you' fantasy.
Karma is the law of cause and effect. Whilst this is a universal law and mentioned in Galatians 6:7 (you reap what you sow), karma is often associated to a past life.
In the brain of the New Ager, an individual who has a rough life might be a victim of bad deeds done in a past life. These are Babylonian teachings, not from God. The law of karma would mean that if a person sinned and asked forgiveness to God via Christ, he would still be punished later on.
Here are some hard facts (examples). They did good and as so many, got nothing or evil in return. That is because Satan rules this planet. "Goodness alone is never enough," wrote author Robert A. Heinlein. "A hard, cold wisdom is required for goodness to accomplish good. Goodness without wisdom always accomplishes evil."
The case of a sweet kind hearted woman named Genore Guillory. 'After the death of her boyfriend, the 42-year-old lived alone in her house maintaining several acres of land and taking care of her horses, stray cats and stray dogs. It had become overwhelming as Guillory was also working a full-time job so, she sought out help. When a couple with undergoing financial troubles moved into a broken-down trailer across the street with their infant baby and a teenage boy, she offered to pay them to help her with her land, animals, and repairs around the house. If they needed extra money for food or diapers, she wouldn't hesitate to lend a helping hand and that included giving them a vehicle. What was her reward? She was killed, her face had been smashed in, she was shot four times, and stabbed five by those she helped'. (source)
The Unforgivable Sin
Mark 3:29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation
Matthew 12:31-32 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
Luke 12:10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
Use of the rosary is alright when we call upon God only.
Repeating a prayer isn't harmful either, in Matthew 26:42-44 and Mark 14:32-39 we see that Jesus Christ several times prayed the same prayer.
Praying the rosary
Praying the Roman Catholic rosary means including praying to Mary. This is blasphemy, and it doesn't matter if God is mentioned at all in the prayer when your also are praising Mary. We are not allowed to pray to angels and saints, Mary herself not to pray to her but to God.
Luke 11:27-28 As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you." He replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it."
Mark 7:7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
Who are the Saints
Michael the Archangel
St. Michael the Archangel, holy archangel, heavenly army leader, the leader of the angel forces of heaven against the powers of hell. Leads God's armies against Satan's forces in the Book of Revelation, where during the war in heaven he defeats Satan.
Michael ("Who is as God") ranks as the highest of the host. He is the leader of the celestial armies and is the angel who fought Satan during the War and enchained the rebel leader. He is considered to be of the class of seraphim, and yet is also head of other ranks within the hierarchy: the ruler of the archangels leader of the virtues, and head of the principalities in his role as protector of Israel. Michael is considered to be the angel of the burning bush through which God spoke to Moses, and has also appeared in the book of Daniel, where God states him as being the highest within the angelic ranks. Although other angels have been attributed with the title of Angel of Death, it is Michael who weighs the souls on judgment day, after his battle once more with the forces of evil. He is mentioned as both an angel of destruction and vengeance in the name of God, but also as a protector and the angel who kept Satan from claiming the body of Moses after the patriarch's death.
Do not pray to the dead
The word "saint" comes from the Greek word hagios, which means "consecrated to God, holy, sacred, pious." It is almost always used in the plural, "saints."
"...Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he did to Your saints at Jerusalem" (Acts 9:13). "Now as Peter was traveling through all those regions, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda" (Acts 9:32). "And this is just what I did in Jerusalem; not only did I lock up many of the saints in prisons ..." (Acts 26:10).
There is only one instance of the singular use, and that is "Greet every saint in Christ Jesus..." (Philippians 4:21). In Scripture there are 67 uses of the plural "saints" compared to only one use of the singular word "saint." Even in that one instance, a plurality of saints is in view: "...every saint..." (Philippians 4:21). In Roman Catholic theology, the saints are in heaven. In the Bible, the saints are on earth. In Roman Catholic teaching, a person does not become a saint unless he/she is "beatified" or "canonized" by the Pope or prominent bishop.
Do not hold on to human traditions if they make the Lord angry. Do not pray to angels.
Angel in Revelation 22:9 And I am John, who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had shown me these things. But he said to me, "Do not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!"
Nowhere in the bible it says you should pray to angels. Angels themselves said even! do not pray to us! but to God. No is no!
Mark 12:27, Luke 20:38 So he is the God of the living, not the dead
Manifestation demons
- Demons can manifest in different forms such as human forms like women or children (God did not create a single female or child angel)
- Demons are looking for beings who have no self control and indulge in vices to tempt them
- Demons feed on negative emotions like fear and rage
Lucifer has been here for a long time with his demons. He has seen your birth and those of your ancestors. He and his can quote the bible as well, since they have been around that long. So how easy do you think it will be for them to trick you with 'memories' and 'miracles' making you feel all special and shit. Never let your guard down! Don't be a fool, do not let them enter. Do not call upon the dead.
Their ticket in(to your soul)
A few of the vices are pride (in which you get supported by Lucifer), avarice (Mammon), lust (Asmodeüs), rage (Satan), gluttony (Beëlzebub), envy (Leviathan) and laziness (Belphegor). Bad spirits (fallen angels aka demons) feed on the cardinal vices in men, such as greed (for money, for power), lust and gluttony. They provide success in the world such as financial gain (think of politicians who sell their soul). Do not trust the desires in the heart:
Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?
Utterly detestable to God are 1) haughty eyes (arrogance), 2) a lying tongue, 3) hands that shed innocent blood, 4) a heart that plots evil, 5) feet that are quick to rush to do wrong, 6) a false witness, and 7) a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.

Jesus Christ
Son of God, refused each temptation made by the devil and actually took the time to make a whip to cast out materialistic turds in the temple. Prefered praying alone in the mountains.
Rejected a Canaanite woman when she asked for help because '"I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel". He eventually did help, but wanted to make it clear that the Israelites are Gods chosen people.
He shows off his sword in Revelation 2, and said in Matt 10:34 Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword (sword= truth)
Jesus is not God himself of course, therefore he does not know himself when the end of times will be.
"However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself"
Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong. Jesus is the lion AND the lamb.
Jesus sacrificed his life for yours.
Love, sacrifice,.. these are warrior virtues.
Moses, solitary leader, to whom God gave the 10 Commandments. There were two sets.
The first, inscribed by God were smashed by Moses when he was enraged by the sight of the children of Israel worshipping a golden calf.
The Israelites had been slaves in Egypt for 400 years until God sent Moses, as we know the result, the 10 plagues and the parting of the sea. Moses spent 40 years wandering in the desert listening to cry babies, so that alone makes him a man of great faith and patience.
Joshua, trusting, willing, strong. Moses' right hand man, was charged by Moses with selecting and commanding a militia group for their first battle, led the Israelite tribes in the conquest of Canaan (God's command).
Joshua asked God to cause the sun and moon to stand still, so that he could finish the battle in daylight. This event is most notable because "There has been no day like it before or since, when the Lord heeded the voice of a man, for the Lord fought for Israel." (Joshua 10:14) God also fought for the Israelites in this battle, for he hurled huge hailstones from the sky which killed more Canaanites than those which the Israelites slaughtered.
Samson, mighty warrior, judge, his birth was announced by an angel to his mother.
God gave him immense strength and answered his last request before dying. Betrayed by his poor choice in a woman.
David, fearless fighter. God testifies about David; I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. Proof, God doesn't like pussies. Cowardice is mentioned in Rev 21:8, in which the coward is condemned to hellfire along with murderers and sorcerers
This also proves protecting your own is not considered murder, since David killed Goliath.

A Few Famous Christians
Louis Braille
Jacques Cousteau
Like Noah building an ark, William became the laughingstock of the townspeople, who watched the formation of his quixotic windmill, resembling a modern art assemblage in the famine-stricken plains of Africa. William Kamkwamba (born August 5, 1987) is a Malawian innovator and author. He built a wind turbine to power multiple electrical appliances in his family's house in the east of Kasungu, using blue gum trees, bicycle parts, and materials collected in a local scrapyard. Since then, he has built a solar-powered water pump that supplies the first drinking water in his village and two other wind turbines. "In Malawi, the wind was one of the few consistent things given to us by God, blowing in the treetops day and night. A windmill meant more than just power, it was freedom." Because God was in his heart, William never accepted his "fate" to a life of poverty and impossibility. The Holy Spirit illuminated his mind to see he could use existing resources to create success.
Alida Margaretha Bosshardt (Netherlands, Utrecht, 8 Jun 1913 - Amsterdam, 25 Jun 2007), better known as Major Bosshardt, was a well known officer in The Salvation Army, and more or less the public face of this Christian organization in the Netherlands.
This statement is the major's best known one.
"To serve God is to serve people and to serve people is to serve God." - major Bosshardt
Samuel Morse
Louis Pasteur
Bob Ross enlisted in the United States Air Force at 18 years old and served as a medical records technician.
He eventually rose to the rank of master sergeant and served as the first sergeant of the U.S. Air Force Clinic at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska, where he first saw the snow and mountains that later became recurring themes in his artwork. He developed his quick-painting technique to create art for sale during brief daily work breaks. - source
Bob Ross was (along with all the others here) a Christian and would often end his shows with "God bless". This soft-spoken artist was a liberal thinker who loved out-of-the-box creatures. At times, Ross would bring home small, furry buddies. He especially loved rehabilitating wild newborn animals.
Bob Ross went back to his youth and urged his audience to take care of their furry little pets, recalling his experience trying to milk an alligator in the family bathtub and taking care of an armadillo in his bedroom. Weird right? When he eventually bought his own house, he converted his backyard into an animal rescue facility.
Enya. One song in particular is very beautiful towards God: Athair Ar Neamh. Father in Heaven, God help us.Father in Heaven, God help me. My soul, my heart, my voicepraise to you, oh God. I praise you from day to day. I praise you night after night.The moon, the sun, the wind, praise be to you, oh God.
To be a man is to suffer for others. God help us to be men! - Cesar Chavez
Did you know that civil rights and labor movement hero Cesar Chavez was an animal rights activist too? Chavez spoke this fundamental truth when we presented him with our In Defense of Animals' Lifetime Achievement Award, "We must respect all life without exception ... The basis for peace is respecting all creatures." His mission to end the abuses of animals and farmworkers has never been more urgent. Watch and share his powerful message now to mark Cesar Chavez Day on March 31.
Deaf Bible Society's Kristin Dodd. "Out of the over 400 sign languages, not one language has a full translation of the Bible yet. The language that is the closest to having a full translation is American Sign Language. Our goal with our partners is to have that full Bible translation completed by 2020." Currently, Deaf Bible Society's website hosts 28 sign languages, each with various portions of Scripture available. (source)
