The Bible Contains Codes

Hi -

The bible contains codes.  That's one reason why, though I'm no longer a Christian, I still read it on occasion.  More and more awakened people are figuring out code messages that are found in the Bible.

NO, I don't believe that ALL in the bible is truth, but there are indeed some truths in it.  The same goes for other so-called sacred books; they all contain MEASURES of truths.

Folks need to beware because the bible has long been used and is still being used as a control tool to manipulate -- to keep folks spiritually comatose . . . and to keep people from AWAKENING TO TRUE freedom.

So learn HOW to read it AFTER awakening to the AWARENESS of its role. And AFTER awakening to the REAL, AND TRUE YOU!

CAPS in scripture below . . . are mine.

One such message is in Amos 5:8 - KJV, which says, "Seek him that maketh the SEVEN STARS and ORION . . ."

###

Orion is a constellation.  If you go to the Wikipedia link that I've provided, look on the right side bar and it shows a photo of the constellation Orion and it has there -- this: "MAIN STARS -- 7."

Many Christians have been led to believe that it's an abomination to deal in astrology.  Astrology derives from ASTRONOMY.  Astrology is considered pseudo-science -- but ASTRONOMY is INDEED legit. Astronomy deals with stars, constellations, etc.  There's deep meaning found in learning more about ASTRONOMY.  The ancient people used it CONSIDERABLY.

Excerpt about ASTROLOGY:

"Throughout most of its history, astrology was considered a scholarly tradition. It was accepted in political and academic contexts, and was connected with other studies, such as astronomy, alchemy, meteorology, and medicine.[3] At the end of the 17th century, new scientific concepts in astronomy and physics (such as heliocentrism and Newtonian mechanics) called astrology into question. Astrology thus lost its academic and theoretical standing, and common belief in astrology has largely declined.[4] Astrology has been rejected by the scientific community as a pseudoscience, having no validity or explanatory power for describing the universe . ..

Clarity on the Lake of Fire and the Book of Revelation

Hi -

Note: (Please excuse the paragraph spacing gaps in this piece.  For some reason, it wouldn't cooperate when I attempted to fix the subject gaps.)

###

So many folks don’t understand the book of Revelation.  I’ve learned more about it and will dig deeper to learn further about that mysterious book.

What I’ve learned is that much of Revelation is SYMBOLIC -- perhaps even all of it . . . but of that I’m NOT sure.

My research has led me to the conclusion that the lake of fire is NOT reality.  I STRONGLY urge folks to research for themselves to discover the truths about that matter.

I remember reading in the gospel where, in the bible, Jesus says he’s the bread of life.   Of course, folks understand that that doesn’t mean ACTUAL bread.  It’s SYMBOLIC.

Here’s the link to an article about the book of Revelation:

Below is an excerpt from that article from the Section titled, “Who Was Augustine?”

CAPS MINE

“What Augustine does by helping put the Book of Revelation in the Bible really accomplishes two things. One, he provides what will become, at least eventually, the normative reinterpretation of the book by reading ALL OF THE SYMBOLISM IN IT AS JUST THAT, SYMBOLISM AND NOT LITERAL HISTORY. Now, that doesn't happen overnight, but his view is the one that will eventually carry the day throughout most of later Christian tradition.”

Here’s an excerpt from an article relative to the book of Revelation:

“. . . Revelation -- whose inclusion in the official canon of the Bible was actively disputed.  In the fourth century CE, when the canon of the Bible was assembled from among the approximately 50 gospels and hundreds of epistles then in use by the Christian movement, Revelation was only reluctantly included. "To this day, Orthodox churches do not use Revelation for scripture readings during worship."Here’s the link to the entire article, "THE CHRISTIAN SCRIPTURES: The acceptance of the book of Revelation”

Sacred Books, Including the Bible

Hi -

Mormons believe that their book is the sacred book. Muslims believe that their book is the sacred book. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that their book is the sacred book.

Christians believe that the Bible is the sacred book. WHICH Bible -- as there are NUMEROUS translations? Christians have more "sacred" book translations than any other religion. If PERFECT GOD REALLY inspired ALL of the Bible -- PERFECT GOD could surely have made it so that ALL people could understand what was written WITHOUT so many translations being necessary. PERFECT GOD PRODUCES PERFECTLY and is sure able to provide ONE BOOK TO BE UNDERSTOOD BY ALL OF CREATION.

Flawed men produced the Bible and THAT is why so many translations. Humans aren't perfect nor are our productions. GOD is PERFECT.

###

I removed my name from the dotted line of ANY religion. Instead I've chosen DOING love -- and aiming for more truths -- as my signature style. That's SPIRITUAL.

All religions have measures of truth and all of them have some control tactics, manipulation methods, and some religions have extortion practices in rotation. And all religions have some jacked up doctrines, rules, policies, belief systems, etc.

I'm done with the suppression and bondage of religion. I's free now, y'all.

Krishna

Hi - 

From what I've learned so far, KRISHNA was BEFORE the so-called Christ's time. As I read about Krishna, I was struck by how what is expressed about him bears some similarities to the story of Christ.

Is it possible that the Bible writers copied from Krishna?

###

I just read some about Krishna. It mentions in the subject piece about a "divine voice from heaven, etc.
Here's an excerpt from the subject piece from under the "Birth" section:

"Krishna carried across the River Yamuna

Krishna's foster mother Yashoda with the infant Krishna. Chola period, Early 12th century, Tamil Nadu, India.

Krishna was born to Devaki and her husband, Vasudeva,[49][50] When Mother Earth became upset by the sin being committed on Earth, she thought of seeking help from Lord Vishnu. She went in the form of a cow to visit Lord Vishnu and ask for help. Lord Vishnu agreed to help her and promised her that he would be born on Earth. On Earth in the Yadava clan, he was yadav according to his birth, a prince named Kansa sent his father Ugrasena (King of Mathura) to prison and became the King himself. One day a loud voice from the sky (Akash Vani in Hindi) prophesied . . .

I found another link about Krishna; that account also has some similarities to the so-called Jesus story.

Here's an excerpt:

"Mother Earth, unable to bear the burden of sins committed by evil kings and rulers, appealed to Brahma, the Creator for help. Brahma prayed to the Supreme Lord Vishnu, who assured him that he would soon be born on earth to annihilate tyrannical forces."

I found yet another link about Krishna and it mentions THAT KRISHNA WAS BEFORE CHRIST.

Here's an excerpt from the subject piece:

"Indian as well as Western scholars have now accepted the period between 3200 and 3100 BC as the period in which Lord Krishna lived on earth."

God's Anger . . .?

Hi -

CAPS MINE

HOW CAN IT BE that in Jeremiah 3:12 - KJV, the Lord says that he WILL NOT keep his anger for ever -- BUT -- in Jeremiah 17:4 - KJV, the Lord says that his anger WILL burn for ever?

"Jeremiah 3:12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, SAITH THE LORD, AND I WILL NOT KEEP ANGER FOR EVER."

"Jeremiah 17:4 And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire IN MINE ANGER, WHICH SHALL BURN FOR EVER."

Journey for Jesus . . .

Hi -

This is a lengthy piece but WELL WORTH the read -- yes, STRIKING indeed.

Note: Many misunderstand the word atheist; it doesn't mean what many believe.

Visits to Heaven?

Hi -

I don't listen to John MacArthur or any other pastor, anymore, except VERY rarely, and then it's video clips . . . but the subject article is quite STRIKING indeed.  I chanced upon it today on Facebook.

It discusses about folks sharing about going to heaven and returning to tell about it.  In essence, the article shares that such "visits" to heaven aren't credible.

There is mention, in the article, about bible content, but I don't get into that, as I no longer FULLY believe in what the bible contains . . .

Yes, I recommend reading the article. Here's the link:

Here's another relevant link where a young man recanted his story that he went to heaven.  He admitted that he lied.
