Watched it. When the guy says 'Whats the difference between a theory and a fact? Well there is no difference according to my view..' I stopped.
Some science has been perverted to achieve control over the masses. They go to great lengths to do the bidding of the PTB. Just like the Pharisees did not want his people to follow the God of Abraham because it puts a kink in his own self proclaimed greatness. And it is still that way today.
I have had many conversations on these subjects. I have found many to have been harmed, in one way or another, by their church(or people there in) to a point of hating what and who it was that caused the harm, and then they think, well this religious stuff just doesnt seem right. Well just like there are homeless beggars in the streets, some have their mercedes parked around the corner, fooling and taking from people that actually wish to help them from their lies of being homeless, AND taking something that someone else who has nothing will not get in order to pay for their ritzy life style, there are some in religion, church leaders who take advantage of many that dont have much just so they can live the rich life style. Private jets(more than 1?), fancy cars, and homes. Eating the best of the best. Sure, there are some out there that do that. And it is fairly easy, with a trained ear, to see who they are and what they are really all about, probably within the first hour of listening to them. Some people are very gullible to this and I feel for them. The one thing these people that use Gods name to profit more than preach, dont really want you to know, is the fact that they can get everything they wanted from being involved at those churches by just reading the Bible with the intent to really learn from it, and they will find what they need and what they are looking for.
Lucefers greatest accomplishment is different religions and the new God, SCIENCE. Which one do we give a chance? Which one is possibly correct? Maybe none since there are many that contradict others and get people thinking, well maybe they are all wrong and science has all the answers. Many may hear that God does not exist and creation never happened, LOOK AT OUR THEORIES! OUR THEORIES ARE FACTS!!, and they will tend to accept that, without any deep research on their own part.
Well, just looking and reading the Bible, without a real deep understanding of it as a whole by really wanting to know the truth, wont get you there. If one is to read it with bias, they will not get a good understanding, and even misunderstand it in different ways that others had misunderstood it. But with true understanding, you will find others that really understand it the way it is suppose to be understood. its just the way it is. Either you really want to know the truth, or you just use it in bits and pieces and say 'that could not have happened' and there ya go.
I had considered myself a christian all my life, but I never really read the book. Didnt feel that I needed to as I would get my info from that guy every sunday. Now if there are any catholics here, dont be offended by my story here....
I had a girlfriend that was catholic and I was raised baptist. We never really got into it for a few years about the differences. Then one day she said she was praying to Arch angel Michael about something. That raised a flag for me instantly. From what I had understood in my background on the Bible, was that we pray to nobody else but Jesus. I at least learned that much from listening to the guy on sudays.
Like I had known that she prayed to Mary and I had not really considered the issues with that before. But now, I needed to find the truth. So I dug into my Bible for really the first time in my life, and online KJV which helped tremendously in search abilities, and when I did try to explain that what she was doing wasnt what the Bible says we should do, her answer was, "we cannot interpret the Bible ourselves, only the pope can interpret it for us. Well that just didnt stand well with me. Her church tells her to go ahead and read the Bible, but dont try to understand it, basically. We fought hard on the subject. It was like this... If I read her a verse(hypothetical) that said "And the sky was blue", as just an example, she would say, can you interpret that for me?
I was astonished. There was nothing that I could do. I was afraid for her, and feeling very badly that we were being torn apart over this.
But I dug in more. And we did separate. But what I had learned from my readings instilled something in me that is here to stay. I could write page after page here on the things that have happened to me over the last 15 years that have increased my faith even more. But they would be just testimonies that some here would just say are only coincidental or even lies. I have talked to Chet and some others on that, and they get it.
If you read the Bible from beginning to end, it is not until the new testament that it tells you to ask for the Holy Spirit(and seriously doing so) to help you understand it. And that was when I got hit with the whammy that reading the Bible can give you in faith and understanding. You have to really want to know the truth.
One other thing her and I argued about... Her and here sister were at the library, and she had gotten some copies made for a college class and then stood in line to pay for the copies.
Her sister told her just to go home and not pay for the copies and just go to confession on sunday and it will be ok.
Again, I was in shock. Apparently they have this notion that this was how it was and this was ok. It was a roman catholic church in Anaheim Ca. I dont think all catholic churches teach these things, im not sure. But just because Jesus died for our sins, doesnt mean that we should be free to take advantage of that, willingly and knowingly throughout our lives as claimed believers.
So these days, I am not baptist, nor any other congregation affiliated. Im just a follower of what the Bible says, and Im sticking with that.
