I read your wonderful book, "THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF THE RAINBOW" and was alerted. I loved the Jesus of the Bible but I avoided the Bible after the first three readings (in entirety) because I saw suffering as an integral part of being a Christian, but New Age appeared to be wholly benevolent and appeared to love Jesus.<br /><br />Jesus was my guru but over time I came to see that the New Age was only about control and me me. Hard as I tried (every minute of every waking hour) I couldn't make it work as it promised. I saw that it was satanic and ran to the nearest church in fear and trembling and found the true Jesus who was very God; how I love Him. <br />"<br />I have ordered a new book "Forbidden Secrets of the Labyrinth" which takes us back to the Garden of Eden to see when the apostate thinking started. Apparently the writer is thought of as a genius. I wonder if you have heard of it and if so, if you might peruse it and give your thoughts about it. I found the conversation about it on the Hagmannandhagmann radio program, which is new to me and was captivated. <br /><br />Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Him.

All the prophecy that was fullfilled in Jesus Christ himself is unbelievable. Prophecy validates the Bible to sceptics. You are one. You read other books that validate your opinion. You look for what is comfortable and what you want to be true. Its too bad. The Bible makes everyone feel uncomfortable. It reveals the need for a saviour, because we can not acheave goodnes no matter who knows what or what you do. You might be able to obtain goodness in mans eyes but not God's. We are all born in sin. You and me. I am not a product of evolution or chance. I dont know what cult you belong to, but it almost sounds like christian science or mormonism. You might not be either, but there are simillarities. How much longer do you think before the battle of Gog-maggog takes place from Ezekial Ch. 38-39? The political and military set up is now in place. How can the Bible not be taken litterally? It tells of so many things that have taken place, and things that are about to happen. There is no cards involved, no secret spirits, no psychics invoved in the Bible. Its written down plain for everyone to see. Why do you value mans achievements more than God? Man's achievments have lead to more disasters. Look what Al-qaeda is doing with technology. Its abuse plain and simple. Is your faith going to bring you to heaven when you die? Do you have absolute peace and certainty where you will go? There is a choice to be made and time is extremely short. There is only 2 places to go, heaven or hell. Making no decision is a choice to go to hell to put it bluntly. You have to except Jesus as the way for heaven to be an option to you. You probably think why is this backwoods redneck with dyslexia being so narrow minded about how you choose to get to heaven? After all God is a God of love right? Yes he is but for how long. Sophia, I do not belong to a religion, I belong to Jesus. That is how I know I am going to heaven. Through Jesus Christ alone. Plain and simple. I am an idiot. What could I possibly do to earn my way there or achieve my right to get in? God gives everyone a chance to get there. But its only through Jesus. You either accept or regect. Man's achievements are now causing the imminent destuction of the world. The whole world. There will be no escape anywhere on earth. What will your religion do for you? Its funny how you say Adam and Eve were not real. There is a family tree that leads back to him. Infact it has caused the whole middle east to go through termoil, because one side argues that they deserve the blessings of Abraham when the son Isaac recieved it. I do not look at every word of the Bible as applying to me, however I do know that the Bible is true.

They were not written for literal interpretation. They should not be misconstrued as such.<BR/><BR/>The story of the Fall, for example, is an epitome of a larger story. The objects of Adam, Eve, and the Garden are symbolical representations of entities that are greater than the literal interpretation.<BR/><BR/>Many of the NT texts were addressed to a group of people who no longer exist. You read them as if they are addressed to you.<BR/><BR/>If you follow the shadow of Christ as presented in the fragments of the early Church (known as the New Testament), you will follow that which is antithetical to the real Christ.<BR/><BR/>The Gospels contain pointers to a larger body of knowledge. If you truly "believe in" the Gospels, you will follow those pointers. If you fail to follow those pointers, you will continue to be deceived by the corruptions of the fourth century.<BR/><BR/>Rich,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the clarification.Sophia Sadekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06303748450821405889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-1145713709611364092006-04-22T09:48:00.000-04:002006-04-22T09:48:00.000-04:00Sophia,Not to worry, I didn't interpret your post ...Sophia,<BR/><BR/>Not to worry, I didn't interpret your post as your attempt to infringe on my rights.

I am not saying this to downgrade you whatsoever. But the Bible does have a very clear history. People who read it and except it for fact, not stories, know the history past and future. Maybe people who read it for its literal interperatation I should say. God is not a fictionalized character. Nor is Jesus the nazarine, King of the Jews, fictional. It is so accurate that even our year is listed in A.D. wich means in the year of our Lord in latin. Its time to read and study the book of books. You dont need a books to explain the book. But the book(the Bible) does explain all other books. I know that you said you are heavily involved in education, but Ive got a challenge for you. You must take considerable amount of time studying a lot of subjects. It also seems that your curiosity about the Bible has been on a steady climb, or you would not be here at this website, knowing how many Christians participate here. I seriously think that if you read the new testament, and discovered what it meant to be a follower of Christ, that you personally would not be ashamed to call yourself a Christian. No matter what the image is. I hope you take me up on the offer of seriously diving into your Bible at full speed. You seem to live for knowledge and truth it seems, and you dont like lines of bull. How about becoming a Bible scholar? The Bible is knowledge and truth. It is the foundation of what is truth and good and evil in our society today and forever will be whether people like it or not. It will not pass away. I'm sorry about your belief on the trinity. Maybe if you dive in to the Bible for the full knowledge of the truth you will see why it bothers me so much. At this point I don't see the point in explaining it to you because you do have your own beliefs. I'm not going to try to twist your arm. However.. the knowledge that you have about the trinity is not based on the full understanding of the new testament. For a start look up the name Immanuel which is listed in Matt. 1:23. It has a specific meaning. It is the same in every translation. Then look at John 20:28, the one people call doubting thomas calls Jesus something. It is also in every translation. I hope this starts more interest for you to dive into God's word and not man's words. I sense anger and resentment from you towards Christians in general. I hope you understand that there are Christians on this web site who are truly concerened for you. I understand that you have seen and had bad experiences in the past. But I hope you will at least except that there are followers of Christ in this world, that do call themselves Christians, that could possibly be the best friends that you just might ever hope to have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-1145662872580782542006-04-21T19:41:00.000-04:002006-04-21T19:41:00.000-04:00John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave...John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. <BR/><BR/>Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.<BR/><BR/>1 John 2:22-23 Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ?

Before revealing the truth of the Trinity, one must establish a security organization.<BR/><BR/>The Jesus of the Trinity is not Jesus of Nazareth. It is not we who need to be saved by Christ. It is Jesus who needs to be saved from those who profess to worship divinity in his name, while practicing a form of enforced ignorance.Sophia Sadekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06303748450821405889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-1145598043294353472006-04-21T01:40:00.000-04:002006-04-21T01:40:00.000-04:00I am thankful for all of the Christians who share ...I am thankful for all of the Christians who share their wisdom on this site.

Little did I know how accurate the occult comment was. Basically it was guided by the Holy Spirit. I mentioned for you to take the Bible litterally. I have as a christian. There is not one day I have regretted it, even though I am persecuted for it continuosly. I also mentioned to you at some point you have to realise that the new testament is about following Christ. Notice I did not state that in past tense. Its not about followng any other person or group. You don't follow the church! The best thing you could do for yourself is to shut yourself into a room and read. Not think about persecution, church, theology and Ive probably just touched the surface of things to put aside. The best thing you could do is to pray for Jesus to reveal himself through his word. I get the impression that you have a hard time as excepting Jesus as Lord. I already saw a comment that you deny the trinity. It makes me sad for sure. The Jehova's also deny it, and thats a sign of cult. But the reality is it leads to occult worship. Satan believes in Jesus. Just because you know about religions and the Bible, does not mean you belong to Jesus Christ, the Messiah. Follow Jesus. Forget all this other stuff that can be tied all up into religion somehow. If you don't have Jesus in your heart, you dont have Him at all. My fear is that you have the knowledge but are unable to come to the truth.

The Lord says otherwise: Isaiah 8:19: And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? <BR/><BR/>The occult typically has believed that no-one other the initiates could understand the secret doctrine. What a surprise Constance Cumbey was to them. The scripture I cited points out that it is God who dispenses knowledge.<BR/><BR/>Regarding “Christ loving Nazis,” we’ve already covered that ground and you response was essentially: that’s them, not us. I don’t intend to rehash it. I recently posted a link to testimony by Corrie Ten t Boom (see post 10:31 pm ). She is one of those “Christ loving Nazis to whom you refer. She was interned in a concentration camp for hiding Jews. Following her ordeal, did she say “Let’s keep things secret from here on?” Rather, she become more bold and preached in parts of the world where she may well have encountered the same persecution she experienced in Germany.<BR/><BR/>Did Jesus say to the apostles, “this knowledge is secret for you to discreetly dispense.” Or “Beware and keep things secret, people may wish to harm you” No, he instructed us that people would kill us because of our testimony. Jesus instructed the apostles to “Go unto all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” When starting the church, the apostles preached the gospel boldly despite being beaten, forbidden to speak, and some even killed. One can read of this in Acts 4 and 5. How did the apostles act? Acts 5:41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.<BR/><BR/>Sophia, I remain unconvinced that the occult is as you attempt to portray. Unless you can give me compelling reason to believe otherwise, I think that the Sophia is merely Lucifer’s drag persona.<BR/><BR/>RichInMedfordAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-1145476623729077712006-04-19T15:57:00.000-04:002006-04-19T15:57:00.000-04:00Sophia wrote: Pardon my harsh tone, but you don't ...Sophia wrote: <BR/>Pardon my harsh tone, but you don't seem to be getting the point.<BR/><BR/>Response: Sophia, we get your point and aren't being snared by your seductive little comments that promise to reveal secrets if we only follow you.

Is it okay for profit oriented organizations to keep secrets, but not non-profits?<BR/><BR/>While you are at it, why don't you tell us about those things that you do behind closed doors.
