      He with ears, hear:
      Through the Holy Spirit, God has put it on me to preach to those lost in the devil's deceit!
      Hear me when I say, ye that are Catholic have been deceived and know not God. Ye worship Mary, praying to her; when God tells his to worship none other than him. It is idolatry.
      Catholicism has its own Bible and teachings, which are blasphemous to the word of God: the Holy Bible. As ye follow the teachings of man and not God; ye hear the pope, but not Jesus, yet ye claim to be his disciples!
      These are but a few things I named ye dwell within; there are many more. I tell you now to repent of your sins, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you'll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit upon asking the Father!
      There are *NO* sub-divisions of Christianity. You're either a disciple of Christ or not. A Christian is someone who follows God's word, not a religion. Who obey the Father and follow his will; not man's nor their own heart's. Unless you keep Jesus' commandments, think not the Holy Spirit will dwell within you!
      They who heed this message and did what was stated with an open heart to God...
      Read the Holy Bible (KJV) daily and every time before you read, pray to the Father and ask:
      "Lord I ask that you give me understanding of your word, that I interpret it the way you want me to, and none of my own. I ask you in Jesus' name, amen."
      Revelation 22:8-9 KJV
      8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
      9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
      Acts 2:38 KJV
      38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
      Luke 11:13 KJV
      13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
      John 14:21-24 KJV
      21 *He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.*
      22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
      23 Jesus answered and said unto him, *If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.*
      24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and *the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.*
      3 John 1:11 KJV
      11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. *He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.*
      1 John 3:6-10 KJV
      6 *Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.*
      7 Little children, let no man deceive you: *he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.*
      8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
      9 *Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.*
      10 *In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God,* neither he that loveth not his brother.

      @@Call_Upon_YAH Yes. I like Jeff Cavins voice too. I like his style because: it almost feels Protestant; and so, also he does not wear the priestly vestments; which is how I feel at home; but my new home is; to accept new traditions. I know he is not a priest; though. That's why he does not wear priestly vestments. His posts are good for evangelizing people who; might still be; afraid of the Catholic Church; like I used to be; with all the misinformation; about 666. I feel at home with Jeff. But with Mike too; at home. I got used to being Catholic. I like Bishop Barrons garb; because: it is in the middle of the road.

      @@Call_Upon_YAH You are misinformed, mislead and erroneous. We love and honour Mary, the mother of God as our saviour Jesus Christ does. We worship the most Holy Trinity alone. Our Holy mass is filled with sacred scripture, all aspects are derived from holy scripture. I read holy scripture and love it deeply, I love the word of God and know it as well as anyone including you I suspect. Our holy mass is the highest form of worship while on earth to God almighty. It is highly theological with the eucharist(Jesus Himself) at the centre. I love the eucharist, It literally gives me life. I pray the rosary which is a richly biblical and scriptural prayer, saluting Mary (Hail Mary)as God's angels did. It also allows me to meditate on the holy events of Jesus' life on earth. Please inform yourself.

    Yes, yes. I was in a sinful relationship and I was randomly flipping through the Bible and I landed on the verse saying "flee from sexual immorality." That couldn't be a coincidence. Another time I was calculating how much I should spend giving something and getting angry about it and the daily mass reading was about how God loves a cheerful giver

    I like the play with words; like, you don't have to go overboard. I posted; about an ex-friend; we've reconciled, though; she almost drove the car down into a ravine and I screamed; watch out; I did not know she had a secret problem; she thought the ditch was a street. She was in a respected denomination; - where the women are plain and head coverings. But she was not in that garb. She told me that I did not have Faith like that the car would fly. I am reminded by this passage; that Peter had a lot of Faith; to go overboard with his Faith. We can fly or walk on water. My friend is sober now.

    I thought I know and then I was instructed to listen to someone who turned out to be an exercise and food addict erotomaniac with an IQ maybe even lower than mine, with alcohol addiction and an unresolved relationship with his own family. Who keeps saying the same things over and over and looks that the number of books he has read (or understood) is about three. And now I just don't know. But maybe this is an acceptable measurement error :D

    The reason they thought his voice would come from and/or within the wind is because they thought Christ would have the powers and characteristics of Enlil.
    Enlil (2400-2301 BC) was the god of wind, air, earth, and storms. He was the lord of the freshwater sea.
    Everything from hurricanes to gentle winds were all
    thought to be of his breath, these exhalations were thought to have come forth from his mouth as
    words or commands.
    To fight Ba'al is to fight the existence of El. El is not Christ nor Christ's Father.
    Ba is a the wings; flying aspect of the soul of AL (Al is a spelling variation of El).
    El is not our god.
    The Elohim are El's powers; deities; gods.
    Anyways, nice presentation. Thank you and good job.

      The questions you have posed are a little disjointed and don't seem to have any coherent relevance to my input.
      I mean, why, in your mind, would I be interested in a single world order or be entertaining thoughts of banning things like religion?
      Not sure if you're trying to divert via Red Herring or are just making gross assumptions for no apparent reason. Do you have ground for such an odd line of enquiry?
      What benefit would there be in banning all religions? If all major religions are based in the same foundational errors, what benefit would come from disassembling them prematurely, before they learned how to exist in light and love? But, too, what of they need to learn that they are based in foundational errors so that they can learn how to find the light and what love actually is?
      I think maybe you were watching too much Pinky and The Brain before you came a questioning me, smh.
