    If people only understood, we use the lord in most of our work! You don’t have to use you’re power for bad! It’s a choice, as any religion! Love and light!

    Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

      @@naturezone6655 virgin Mary was a pious woman, a decent an praiseworthy in her behavior human being, chosen by God to give birth to Messiah. Nothing more, nothing less. She was not an angel, Bible states clearly, there is only 1 mediator between human and God and that is Jesus. Not Mary, not angels. We ought to not pray or worship angels and the scripture is clear on that. So what basis do you have for your idolatry ? - If it is not based on Bible, then it is the imagination of people, something, that has zero to do with God.

    Isaiah55:6&7,"Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near.Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous thoughts.Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon."

      @@atheisticafemenina Couldn’t be further from the truth. The masses are in cahoots with the devil and don’t realize it. Many have been deceived. Including you. You think you or anyone else is any match for a legion of demons? They have tricked the likes of King Solomon. A powerful man that god have him power beyond his means, he had control over demons to build his temple, and yet, Satan tricked him in the end. If they can trick a man of king solomons standing, what does that say about you? And everyone else? These demons have been around since the dawn of human existence and before, they have met every walk of life, billions upon billions of souls they have met and deceived. What makes you any less different? Without the lord thy god, you will be lost, tricked, deceived, lied too. There is only one way to the gates of heaven, and that is through the lord. Demons can abide by and cast spells. You think being a witch makes you holier than who? Don’t forget, many will claim to follow the lord, but if you look at there fruit, they are not true followers. This is across many religions today.

      @@atheisticafemenina My final warning to you is to be careful with what you mess with. I say this with the BEST INTENTIONS. Open the wrong door, and you’ll allow the legion to come in, and they will take what you have, take your soul, strip you of everything and leave you with nothing. Be very careful. You can still turn to the lord, he loves you, he wants you to come back to him. But only you can make that decision. Take care. 💯

      @@johnnylego807 I was a christian 10 years and turned away from it once I found out the truth about how it was made and what it is all about. I am not going to follow a religion that was forced on my people. A book full of hate. A god who only loves conditionally but says he's loving. Christianity has not done anything for people who look like me, it's very profitable for whites though so keep believing. If the devil and god of the Bible are real then Satan is the good guy anyway. If jesus was real then he was a witch too. If anyone walks on water, turns water into wine and turn 2 fish into plenty to feed a mass of people and you don't think that's witch craft then I don't know what to tell you because if someone did that today you'd deem them a witch. Secondly, you have to work with demons to "open" up a door to them and if they can get me what I want in life then good. You believe in the biblical god out of fear of hell just like everyone else. Just like you posted this comment to me out of fear. Fear doesn't work like that for me it only makes me more curious.

    [12] And to the angel of the church of Pergamus write: These things, saith he, that hath the sharp two edged sword: [13] I know where thou dwellest, where the seat of Satan is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith. Even in those days when Antipas was my faithful witness, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. [14] But I have against thee a few things: because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat, and to commit fornication: [15] So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaites.
    [16] In like manner do penance: if not, I will come to thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. [17] He, that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches: To him that overcometh, I will give the hidden manna, and will give him a white counter, and in the counter, a new name written, which no man knoweth, but he that receiveth it. [18] And to the angel of the church of Thyatira write: These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like to a flame of fire, and his feet like to fine brass. [19] I know thy works, and thy faith, and thy charity, and thy ministry, and thy patience, and thy last works which are more than the former. [20] But I have against thee a few things: because thou sufferest the woman Jezabel, who calleth herself a prophetess, to teach, and to seduce my servants, to commit fornication, and to eat of things sacrificed to idols.
    [21] And I gave her a time that she might do penance, and she will not repent of her fornication. [22] Behold, I will cast her into a bed: and they that commit adultery with her shall be in very great tribulation, except they do penance from their deeds. [23] And I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am he that searcheth the reins and hearts, and I will give to every one of you according to your works. But to you I say, [24] And to the rest who are at Thyatira: Whosoever have not this doctrine, and who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will not put upon you any other burthen. [25] Yet that, which you have, hold fast till I come.
    [26] And he that shall overcome, and keep my works unto the end, I will give him power over the nations. [27] And he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and as the vessel of a potter they shall be broken, [28] As I also have received of my Father: and I will give him the morning star. [29] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. The Revelation of St John
