I would also bet the farm that over half of Canadians don't even know how many provinces there are in our country.

And religion isn't harmful. Religious zealotry is, though.

There are seven. Eight, if you include Vancouver Island.

Really?? They are an endless business with suckers hanging onto their every word'
God, and thus anything to do with the Kingdom of God is a 30 day course you can take without leaving your basement. 12 days if you are a quick study.

Lesson 1 search the 1611KJV for the term 'grace' then read the passages until you understand them. That will vary from 1 to 100 times. You will now know as much as God needs you to know about grace by the time you are done.The biggest lesson is about Babylon. It is mentioned many, many times in the Book of Jeremiah and it has been per-determined that they all apply to Neb's Babylon and dismiss that God introduces a 2nd Babylon just a few pages from the end of the book so all those conclusions have to be examined because of that. There is no start date for that taking place, even after the Vatican being aware of it for 1900 years.

"Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." (James 1:26-27 NIV)

religion is harmful
just look at how jesus died
:)

"Revelation 22:16

I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star."
King James Bible

Lucifer (/ˈluːsɪfər/;[1][2][3] LOO-sif-ər) is the King James Version rendering of the Hebrew word הֵילֵל in Isaiah (Isaiah 14:12). The Vulgate translation uses the Latin word lucifer, but with a lower-case initial,[4] The Hebrew word, transliterated Hêlêl[5] or Heylel (pron. as HAY-lale),[6] occurs once in the Hebrew Bible[5] and according to the KJV-based Strong's Concordance means "shining one, light-bearer".[6]

The Septuagint renders הֵילֵל in Greek as ἑωσφόρος[7][8][9][10][11] (heōsphoros),[12][13][14] a name, literally "bringer of dawn", for the morning star.[15] The word Lucifer is taken from the Latin Vulgate,[16] which translates הֵילֵל as lucifer,[17][18] meaning "the morning star, the planet Venus", or, as an adjective, "light-bringing".[19]

Later Christian tradition came to use the Latin word for "morning star", lucifer, as a proper name ("Lucifer") for the devil; as he was before his fall.[20] As a result, "'Lucifer' has become a by-word for Satan / the Devil in the church and in popular literature

Right from the horse's mouth: you can't make this stuff up!

PS
BTW:
22 divisions of 16 make up the rose on a compass...which is really what this is all about
the "divine chi code"

Just like the mouth in the sky with a tongue like a flaming sword is the constellation Orion and the seven candles to the right are the constellation monceros

"I made my own house, be my gallows." (Dante Alighieri, 1265-1321, Inferno, Canto XIII).


Cave ab homine unius libri.

  • Beware the man of one book (or one verse and one interpretation of such).


Look to thyself, bones.
I hope you're right, and sophistry, hatred, and condemnation really are the road to salvation. Because although I don't care for you much, I don't wish eternal damnation on you either.

road to salvation? salvation from what? being hateful, full of condemnation?

Salvation and sin, the oldest most revered fraud in the entire world.

and Joel Olsteen gets richer and richer and richer because people love to hate.

I haven't run into anyone you do like, bones. Your misanthropy oozes from every post.

I don't hate anyone. I just acknowledge there is a supernatural structure with moral laws on which the world and universe are created.. beyond 'satiate thyself'. And consequences for ignoring them. An affirmation that is an anathema to modern liberal culture; so threatening that it develops its own laws and casuistry to suppress it.

Do you fear judgment from Jesus Christ?

Matthew 25:31-46.
Are you sure a reference to a passage that shows there are two paths and conduct unbecoming a Christian. You have to be pretty selected just to make it that far, let alone be 1/3 that survives the encounter with breath intact.

Technically this is the part that needs to be feared.

Zec:14:12:
And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem;
Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet,
and their eyes shall consume away in their holes,
and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

The 7 letters are the best at giving you a list of 'what not to do' and the determination is a reference to death as in the above verse, the punishments that come withe being alive in hell for 1,000 years (Isa:65) and finally the hug from God that was the ingredient that was missing all along.
The 1,000 years has a yearly feast and at that feast will be individuals talking about their own path each story will be slightly different. The ones who die have that in common but after that it is a unique path, one worth telling and that is at the time of the Judgment you mention.The just were gathered at the start, the GWT is for 'the chaff' in OT prophecy. That is not how it ends.

Re:2:19-23:
I know thy works,
and charity,
and service,
and faith,
and thy patience,
and thy works;
and the last to be more than the first.
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee,
because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel,
which calleth herself a prophetess,
to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication,
and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
And I gave her space to repent of her fornication;
and she repented not.
Behold,
I will cast her into a bed,
and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation,

except they repent of their deeds.
And I will kill her children with death;
and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts:
and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

Men's current version calls for cities to be burned to the ground, literally even though that version had no other literalism attached to it, anywhere. Lets hope the ones from our recent past are the ones that will be used rather than some more are planned in the future. To burn Damascus you would need to wrap the whole city in that foam shit that burned in the UK just recently. Who would of thought the fate of the world would hinge on a few cargo ships filled with styrofoam insulation panels??
Get the people out and let er rip and then make it rubble and then an instant city thanks to the containers the goodies come in can assemble all of them into what ends up being a modern vibrant city thanks to, you guessed it, the skills of the UN once it is part of the local landscape. (the money and arms Israel currently gets will go up in vapor as soon as the right to return comes into effect. The reconstruction funds will be coming from the 5 bad Arab nations that are framed for causing all the latest trouble in the whole area. Major dollars for a major reconstruction as Jerusalem and Israel becomes the model for what the UN can do when they have authority that is acted on. Being the model also means the rest of what is the garden area in Ge:2 would be part of the same watershed so parts cannot be left out.
That is not a bad idea by itself, it is a great idea if it is the people on the ground that see the best benefits and sooner rather than later.

The bankster motto was about not needing to control the government if you control the money. Moves like the ones above would do that on a global scale.

An example how their best laid plans could be not the best would be as soon as all the irrigation equipment is in place an turned on you start having natural rains that cover the whole of the area and most of the expensive stuff installed is under the water as the river level rose. (for example only)

The area would become a show piece for construction projects worldwide. Instant gods who can do no wrong, what do you do for an encore??

Religion and politics go together like cartoons and circus carnies.
Funny, these days, the christians who mix religion with politics often hate the muslims for mixing religion with politics.


Just had to bump this one. It's how the religious roll.

I'm sure you should take your pills.
