Religious rants

@hell_hound7 Well less of that and more a man of significance. Consider those who were blessed with Saint-like abilities. Sampson with his indominable strength, or Moses being a conduit of the various powers of God, or King David who conquered insane odds against his foes. They were not gods or divine beings. They were greatly revered men who had the favor of God. The difference between them and Jesus, is that Jesus is the power of God for he is him. Jesus for all intents and purposes was God sending himself to teach us then sacrifice himself to sanctify us. It goes back to the concept of the Trinity.

Jesus also quite literally prayed to his " Father" in the garden of Gethsemane. Now, was that supposed to be the flesh he inhabited begging for mercy (Ultimately stating that God's will be done, but he sure made sure to let ya know he would rather it pass.)or...?

Well, I don't mix church and state, so... *Puts the anarchist flag away and puts on dark robes* When you read the bible from the occult perspective, (And occultists are very used to having to dodge dogma, as most of their information is intentionally written wrong as a way for them to discover for themselves how to put things together), then the parables are not instructions to be spoonfed to you. You have to walk the path of christ to understand WHY he did the things that he did. A lot of the bible reads like a history of magick, and the old testimate seems to be describing the sepherots on the Cabalistic tree of life. When you read it, think of it like its describing an energy, as that's what the tree of life represents to us. Not worlds per say, just passages along the human body where energy exits. I personally believe in god, occultism has lead me to conclude that at least deistically, he does exist, and whatever it is, lucid minds are not built to comprehend it fully. Likewise, we believe that Lucifer, Satan, and The Devil are three different entities. And Yaweh by the way was borrowed from the name of the Chief Diety of the Cananiites. God has no name. We're all connected to him. Somewhere beyond the astral, where individuallity breaks down is the axiam of creation, and if you work with even angels from that part of reality, you need to make sure you're vary careful about staying grounded, because if you think Sunday School girls with the "I drank the coolaid' look in their eyes are bad, imagine an occultist who's mind has been fractured by divine inspiration. Conjuration is NOT for noobs, hell it shouldn't even be touched if you are an intermediate, but walking the path of the Goetia does lend a lot of insight on how divinity interacts with the world. From above and below. For starters, reality is layered. Mind Astral Etheric Physical Those are the four layers of low reality, and the only two we are consciously aware of most of the time is physical and subconsciously, the etheric. (That's where poltergeist activity happens.) There are angels who dwell in the astral (Think of that as both purgatory and the collective unconsciousness.), and it's where a lot of demons come from too. If one of them gets into the etheric, you get a good old fashion demonic haunting. BUT! Mind is where thought form entities are from. One big reason never to feed into the placebo effect with this stuff is that stagnant ambient energy can be imprinted with your own thoughts. We make our own demons a lot of the time. So you wanna talk about god? Boy, I barely perceive etheric and astral, what the hell can I tell you about god? I could tell you about the HGA. That's the demigorgon a lot of people think is god. He's actually an egregor. A lot of things on the astral are. If anything appears before you and tells you it is god, it is most likely this thing, or one of the three (Lucifer, Satan, or the devil). None of which should be underestimated. If it wants you to fear it, it is most certainly not the HGA. The HGA wants you to respect it, or be in awe of it. It can also fuck over your life. Its far more petty than the real god. So show it respect. Alright, back to earth.

It's funny how a post can have indents up to a certain point now, then they disappear and make it look like I'm drunk in addition to crazy. XD

To my brothers and sisters who practice Catholicism. Just to give another example of why they have false teachings. Pope Francis denies the existence of hell. Which clearly goes against the teachings of the bible. So he has now accepted LGBT as people who will not go to hell even if they dont repent, and then back tracks and denies hell altogether. I simply wish to guide you all away from false teachings, if you see this message just consider it one that comes from good faith with no malicious intent. I simply pray for your salvation.

Heaven and hell aren't really a thing(For humans, anyways.) in the old testament, either. Well, until christians interpreted it. Sheol was basically it, if I'm not mistaken. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm all eyes... Also... No. The pope does not hold the power he once did. NWO? Now, now you're heading into conspiracy land. lol It's a fun ride, though.lol

The pope is the figure head of the Catholic church though. So whatever he says will be held in regard when it comes to the masses. If the pope says something and it is wrong he is leading people astray. Some references from wiki "The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines hell as self-exclusion from Heaven, a freely chosen consequence of final impenitence, i.e., deliberately and willingly refusing to repent of mortal sin at death and accept divine mercy: To die in mortal sin without repenting and accepting God's merciful love means remaining separated from him for ever by our own free choice. This state of definitive self-exclusion from communion with God and the blessed is called "hell."[44]" "Sheol In the King James Bible, the Old Testament term Sheol is translated as "Hell" 31 times,[123] and it is translated as "the grave" 31 times.[124] Sheol is also translated as "the pit" three times.[125] Modern Bible translations typically render Sheol as "the grave", "the pit", or "death". Abaddon The Hebrew word abaddon, meaning "destruction", is sometimes interpreted as being a synonym for "Hell".[126] Gehenna In the New Testament, both early (i.e., the KJV) and modern translations often translate Gehenna as "Hell".[127] Young's Literal Translation and the New World Translation are two notable exceptions, both of which simply use the word "Gehenna". Hades Hades is the Greek word which is traditionally used in place of the Hebrew word Sheol in works such as the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible. Like other first-century Jews who were literate in Greek, Christian writers of the New Testament employed this usage. While earlier translations most often translated Hades as "Hell", as does the King James Version, modern translations use the transliteration "Hades",[128] or render the word as allusions "to the grave",[129] "among the dead",[130] "place of the dead"[131] or they contain similar statements. In Latin, Hades were translated as Purgatorium (Purgatory) after about 1200 AD,[132] but no modern English translations render Hades as Purgatory. Tartarus Only appears in 2 Peter 2:4 in the New Testament; both early and modern Bible translations usually translate Tartarus as "Hell", though a few render it as "Tartarus".

Yup... Once christians got involved. Most Jews don't(And didn't.) believe you go to heaven or hell. I say most, since just like with christians, there are a few sects.
