Religion & Spirituality - 10 December 2006

Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?
Haven't you read, he replied, that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female',
and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'?
So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.
Why then, they asked, did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?
Jesus replied, Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. (Matthew 19)

Jesus is saying one man for one woman. Do you agree with this idea. Why or why not?

I have seen several people write that Christ, since He knew He was going to the cross, committed a form of assisted suicide by doing so. My Question is, Since Christ, by His own admission, gave His life for all mankind, as the Lamb that took away the sin of the world. Was it suicide, or was it Sacrifice? Suicide is a permanent solution to temporary problems of an individual, Sacrifice is the most noble act of giving your life for someone else with their highest good in mind. O.K. what is it, SUICIDE, OR SACRIFICE?

Rev.9:1-5 [ 5x 30 = 150 ]; The pit is open for Satan, THE SEALED OF GOD ARE THERE.
Rev.9:12-16;
Euphrates angels prepare 391, Rev.16:12-16 Euphrates trouble last to Armageddom.
Rev.20:1-6 [ Satan in the pit ];

KJV Bible 1611 CE published plus 395 years ago is 2006 CE to tell us all about this. Rev.7:9-17 is great tribulation survivers.

So where is seven years [ I read what people say, and it is 7 years], where is it found?

Because whatever God does is Good, by definition, right? So if God wipes out, say, all the children under 12 in the state of North Carolina, that would be a Good thing, right? Because God can do whatever He wants, He is the Creator.
And don't bother saying that God would never do that. Why not? If God isn't held to the same standards as mere mortals, and anything God does is automatically Good, then there is absolutely no reason why he wouldn't.

I know of the this person who is using the faith of Islam to get out of her duties to her children. knowing full well the ex will not let her have then because of the faith. I know she isn't taking the convention seriously She has broken several of those laws and Has asked me to brake some for her. My question really is what is the stand of those in that faith on someone who would make a mockery of it just so she can be free of her children.

Few people ever think to enquire about the supposed enemies of Cain as defined in Genesis. Who could they possibly have been? Where would they have come from? According to the Bible only Adam and Eve, along with Cain and Abel, existed - and Cain had apparently killed Abel. Therefore, if one accepts the text as it stands, there was no one around to be Cain's enemy!


The Sumerian Gra-al was an emblem dignified as the Dew Cup. It was identified in all records (including those of Egypt, Phoenicia and the Hebrew annals) as being an upright, centred red cross within a circle - and has long been recognized as the original symbol of the Holy Grail.


Another anomaly is presented soon afterwards in Genesis when we are told that Cain found himself a wife. Who on earth were her parents if Adam and Eve were the only couple alive? Then, without confronting this anomaly at all, Genesis lists the names of Cain's descendants.


It becomes clear from all this that some very important information has been edited from the Old Testament narrative. Plainly, there were plenty of other people around at the time, and it is not difficult to find their stories outside the Bible.


In order to further enhance the historical succession from Cain, he was married to his half-sister, a pure-bred Anunnaki princess called Luluwa. Her father was Enki and her mother was Lilith, a granddaughter of Enlil. Although not giving the name of Cain's wife, the Bible does name their younger son Enoch, while the Sumerian records cite his elder son and kingly successor Atûn, who is perhaps better known as King Etâna of Kish.


Etâna was said to have 'walked with the gods' and was fed from the Plant of Birth (the Tree of Life as it is called in Genesis). Henceforth, the kings of the line were designated as being the twigs of the Tree - and the ancient word for twig was 'klon' (clone). In later times, this plant or tree was redefined as a vine - and so the Graal, the Vine and the Messianic Bloodline became entwined in the Holy Grail literature of subsequent ages.


By virtue of their contrived breeding, this kingly succession was modelled specifically for leadership and, in all aspects of knowledge, culture, awareness, wisdom and intuition, they were highly advanced against their mundane contemporaries. In order to keep their blood as pure as possible, they always married within a close kinship, for it was fully recognized that the prominent gene of the succession was carried within the blood of the mother. Today we call this the mitochondrial DNA.


And so was born a tradition inherited by their kingly descendants in Egypt, and by the later Celtic rulers of Europe. True kingship, it was maintained, was transferred through the female and kingly marriages were, therefore, strategically cemented with maternal half-sisters or matrilinear first cousins.

The story can now be progressed by considering the oldest grant of arms in sovereign history - an entitlement which denoted the Messianic bloodline for all time. The Sumerians referred to this insignia as representative of the Gra-al (the nectar of supreme excellence), but biblical history refers to it as the Mark of Cain. This Mark is portrayed by the modern Church as if it were some form of curse, but it is not defined as such in the Bible. Genesis actually relates that, having got into an argument with Jehovah over a matter of sovereign observance, Cain feared for his life. Consequently, the Lord placed a mark upon Cain, swearing sevenfold vengeance against his enemies. It has never been fully understood why Jehovah should decide to protect Cain with this mark, when it was he who held the grievance against him. But the fact is that Jehovah did not make this decision; the mark was settled upon Cain by the Lord - and the Lord (the Adon) was not Jehovah (Enlil) but Cain's own father
