There is one major dilema that you face in your arguments.
You are very persistent,
Originally posted by dAlen
however your persistence followed by clearer examples or better understanding of the questions or statements posted by others.
On the contrary, its the same rhetoric that any Christian would give.
Originally posted by dAlen
My point is this simply.
Try to step back from your bag of tricks (answers)
Originally posted by dAlen
and ponder why people keep asking and saying the same thing to you.
Its obvioulsy cause your not communicating your answers clearly and I dont mean in an intelligible way, but of that of evaluating if your statments actually fit that which the subject pertains too from the person asking or making a statment to you.
Originally posted by dAlen
Try me for example, I promise you, from the current track record of how you communicate your belief, I will not change my mind.
Originally posted by dAlen
Those strong in what they believe will not change either.
Albeit those who are unclear and want desperately to cling to some answer may hold on, eventually to what you have to say.
Originally posted by dAlen
It is my recommendation to you, again, to sit back.
This is not at all threatening or attacking. I am calmly sitting here chatting to you as a father to a son. Please continue to express yourself, however...take some time. Try to think from the other persons perspective...dropping the bag of tricks and answers/responces.
Allow yourself to feel what they feel...understanding that they, like you, cary a life worths of experience, but from a very different perspecitve than yourself.
Originally posted by dAlen
In the end, with something like Christianity or any other religion...you will find evangelising does not do benefit for anyone.
You or the person being converted.
You may feel the adrenaline,
Originally posted by dAlen
and then silently sit back wondering if somehow you can have what you preached to them.
Originally posted by dAlen
They may pick up some quick thing to believe in.
But more lasting is you living your life...and through your example and testimony, share with others.
Originally posted by dAlen
No one can take your testimony...its yours...your experience.
Originally posted by dAlen
This is called patience, and on other word. Love.
Originally posted by dAlen
Jesus tried it,
Originally posted by dAlen
of course he eventually was killed off.
Originally posted by dAlen
(If he even existed.)
Originally posted by dAlen
But there is always the option to keep going on as you are.
Originally posted by dAlen
Those that seek with all they have will find...may may feel that they keep finding they understand less...and be frightened...but once you empty yourself...or die to yourself, as the Christians put it...you will be fine.
Saying that you dipped your toes in hell is actually is not accurate to what people are aksing...from what I understood from a quick reading.
Originally posted by dAlen
For the most part people want literal proof. Not the expression of I have been there and been in hell almost.
Hell may exist, but if it does, I am pretty sure its not formed how the Christians believe.
Originally posted by dAlen
After all, we know that hell was not made for people but for Satan.
Originally posted by dAlen
And who is Satan after all?
Originally posted by dAlen
Christianity is an intersting bag in itself, once you dig to its roots.
Originally posted by dAlen
Go to the Orthodox, the Catholic, and then the very splentered protestant movment.
Originally posted by dAlen
There is a lot with the older versions of Christianity that more resembles Rabbinic Judaism then the new Zionist movement...and with that I am refering to Evangelical Christians as Zionist Jews alike...one and the same either way you look at it. Bent on the destruction of the world, and bringing their dream about.

Well, take care Saint.

Well, then I wouldn't worry about it, if I were you. It wil be just like any other day.
No, I do not watch TV. It's too mind numbing. But I DO have common sense; not necessarily governed by fear, however.
Show you? Why? So you can approve me according to your own thoughts?
I am not fearful of anything, including stalkers. There are guards at the gate and angels over head. They're watching so I don't have to.
I trust God more than I mistrust man and the point will be proven in due time.

Saint4God: I've heard the hypothesis, just haven't seen any theory or supporting evidence as of yet.

The Bible stands as is. We can interpret as we may, but it stands as is. Mary is the key name we need to revisit. Mary is used as the name of the mother of God, and the whore that Jesus forgave. This describes a saint and a human. Isn't Jesus a saint and a human?
We have celebrated many years in the name of Jesus. But have we celebrated Mary, who gave birth to him?
I believe we are living in times that the Marian energy is appearing all over the planet. Mary birthed Jesus. She came before Jesus. We must honor that energy if we are to encarnate the next level of evolution.
The color blue in the flag of Israel derives from the ancient dye tekhelet, mentioned many times in the bible (Numbers 15:37-39). This color was used to dye a thread of the ritual fringes, or tzitzit that all Jewish males are commanded to wear, and which are tied to the corners of the ritual garment, the tallit. This is a specific color, derived from the dye produced by the snail Murex trunculus, known in Hebrew as the hilazon. This is the same dye known historically as Tyrian purple. The confusion of shades comes from the fact (rediscovered recently) that when wool dyed with the dye from Murex was exposed to sunlight, the dye became a bright blue, but when the dyed wool was hidden from light, the color produced was that of royal purple. This change is due to the exposure of the compound dibromoindigo (purple) to ultraviolet light, producing the compound indigo (blue, chemically identical to the vegetable dye). This can be an explanation why some Israeli flags (in the past) were almost colored purple, while others are sky blue — these two colors were seen as deriving from the same natural source (the Hebrew word argaman was used for the purple shade). This color is of immense symbolic importance in Judaism and was used in many articles in the Temple in Jerusalem as well, including the outer robe of the high priest.
Update from the world of science…
Moreover, a binary orbit motion of our sun provides a solution to a number of solar system formation theory enigmas including angular momentum. For these reasons, BRI has concluded our sun is most likely part of a long cycle binary system.
A binary system is two stars gravitationally bound orbiting a common center of mass. The stars can be of the same or differing sizes and orbits can be as short as a few days or as long as thousands of years. The short ones are easy to detect, the long ones difficult, some probably impossible to detect because of the very long observation period required.
While there is no obvious visible companion star to our Sun, there could be a dark binary, such as a brown dwarf or possibly a relatively small black hole, either of which might be very difficult to detect, without accurate and lengthy analysis.
Beyond direct detection – one way to determine if we are in a binary system is to see if the Sun is curving through space. To us on Earth that means we should experience a gradual “changing orientation to inertial space.” Such a phenomenon is observed as the precession of the equinox.

Andre Brissard, the most reliable of the French writers on the Nazis and the occult says that the left-handed swastika turns in the direction of the earth’s rotation: hence it symbolizes the solar wheel, the benefic fire of heaven, expansion, creation, evolution and fertility and is the ‘Wheel of the Golden Sun’.
The right-handed swastika is the ‘Wheel of the Black Sun’ representing the earthly fire recreated by man and the quest for political hegemony in opposition to the Fire of Heaven.

What kind?
The flock who cling to faith, blindly.
You always have an answer ready.

But I suggest a new game.
Originally posted by Kachina
I have quickly ended debates about the authenticity of your HIStory when I suggest we discuss real history and not your scripted HIStory.
Originally posted by Kachina
Can you discuss history without making reference to your Biblical texts provided to you by your Temple priests?
Originally posted by Kachina
Can you?
Originally posted by Kachina
Ok saint4God here is an example...so how old is the earth?
Originally posted by Kachina
Discuss it without using the Bible as a reference guide.
Originally posted by Kachina
Now that is the kind of dialogue I am interested in...not your foolish scripted HIStory that you obviously believe in literally.

It was meant to be taken figuratively.

A lifetime of invested belief comes crashing down...this is the archetype we find in The Tower Card in the tarot.
(59) Jesus said, "Take heed of the living one while you are alive, lest you die and seek to see him and be unable to do so."
And again he shall provide an end for what has begun,
and a beginning for what is about to be ended.
who made me alive through a mystery of what he wills
"Now, since it has been said that you are my twin and true companion, examine yourself, and learn who you are, in what way you exist, and how you will come to be. Since you will be called my brother, it is not fitting that you be ignorant of yourself. And I know that you have understood, because you had already understood that I am the knowledge of the truth. So while you accompany me, although you are uncomprehending, you have (in fact) already come to know, and you will be called 'the one who knows himself'. For he who has not known himself has known nothing, but he who has known himself has at the same time already achieved knowledge about the depth of the all. So then, you, my brother Thomas, have beheld what is obscure to men, that is, what they ignorantly stumble against."
And Thomas answered, "Therefore I say to you, lord, that those who speak about things that are invisible and difficult to explain are like those who shoot their arrows at a target at night. To be sure, they shoot their arrows as anyone would - since they shoot at the target - but it is not visible. Yet when the light comes forth and hides the darkness, then the work of each will appear. And you, our light, enlighten, O lord."
Jesus said, "It is in light that light exists."
Thomas, spoke, saying, "Lord, why does this visible light that shines on behalf of men rise and set?"
The savior said, "O blessed Thomas, of course this visible light shines on your behalf - not in order that you remain here, but rather that you might come forth - and whenever all the elect abandon bestiality, then this light will withdraw up to its essence, and its essence will welcome it, since it is a good servant."
Now Thomas answered and said to the savior, "Tell us about these things that you say are not visible, but are hidden from us."
The savior said, "All bodies [...] the beasts are begotten [...] it is evident like [...] this, too, those that are above [...] things that are visible, but they are visible in their own root, and it is their fruit that nourishes them. But these visible bodies survive by devouring creatures similar to them with the result that the bodies change. Now that which changes will decay and perish, and has no hope of life from then on, since that body is bestial. So just as the body of the beasts perishes, so also will these formations perish. Do they not derive from intercourse like that of the beasts? If it, too derives from intercourse, how will it beget anything different from beasts? So, therefore, you are babes until you become perfect."

Have you ever heard the theory that we Humans were made in relation to the mathamatical equation PHI, the golden mean? it might not relate to 'how he will come' but it certainly relates to duality and the 'maths' of the Earth.

And I have written elsewhere on this site expressing a belief that you can connect the Medicine Wheel (Hopi), the tarot (Cabalah/Judaism) and the Rosarium Philosophorum (alchemy) through the 21 sequential numbers common to all three, used in describing the various archetypes.
how will he come?
