OMG! You are hopeless dude!

Bed will have to wait a few more minutes I guess, since I just caught this last comment of yours.

So, Hitler was mad because the Jews, had another Jew (Jesus) killed?

AHH HA HA HA HA AAAAAH HA HA HA HA

Ok, I've composed myself.

Not accurate at all.

The main reasons that Hitler despised Jews, and they were very much related, combining into a VIRULENT hatred of them, was as follows:

1) There was ALREADY strong anti-Jewish sentiment in many parts of Europe for a VERY LONG TIME before Hitler's rise to power.

2) Hitler was a believer in what is referred to as the 'stab-in-the-back' theory, which proposed that Germany did not really lose World War I on the battlefield, but instead were victims of a liberal, socialist and Communist plot of subversion AT HOME. This view held that Jews were responsible for this because of a 'Judeo-Bolshevist conspiracy'. Jews were widely believed to be liberals and Communists. This was believed widely throughout Europe. Hitler HATED Communists and wanted to rid the world of Communism, and he believed that Jews were behind Communism. In fact, Hitler used the terms: Jews and Bolshevists, virtually interchangeably.

3) Later, he also developed the belief that they were also homosexuals. And not merely homosexuals, but as he said "Homosexualists" intent on robbing the German males of their manliness and ability to fight.

All this has it's roots in a proud German people, not dealing well with defeat in World War I - So the scapegoats were the Jews. Germans are the master race, they are strong, so how could they lose in World War I? The answer? Because of liberal, communistic, homosexual subversion from the Jews.

Hitler viewed the Jews as a huge THREAT to the master race's supremacy, so they had to be eliminated.

It also didn't hurt, that when he was still unknown, and would rant on about these conspiracies in German beer halls, it elicited riotous applause from the patrons around him. And we all know, that Hitler was a narcissitic personality type, craving adulation and attention. He found something that brought him the attention and loftiness he felt he was deserving of (which he wanted as a painter, but was crushed when he was rejected from art school) and he rode this wave, as a means of explaining away the German's loss in WWI and as a way of reinvigorating the national pride which had been lost.

Seriously bro, you need to stop trawling these made-up conspiracy blogs, and start getting your information from some respected history books and encyclopedias!

Man, you say it yourself that these things are based in fact but exhaggerated through the written word, so what are we arguing about? Oh, thats right, I take the inaccuracies and falsities in the bible and DONT believe there is a Jesus, especially since history can prove that the writings about him existed 1200 years BEFORE jesus, and all writings about jesus are from at least 100 years (4 generations) AFTER jesus...hmmm

hitler was a "christian" and blamed jews for killing jesus (as so many christians do) all the other reasons you mentioned too, but the master race was all about being the best christian race, every war has been in some way about religious beliefs, hitlers master race was a race of arian christian warriors.

Mike,

I provided for you the main reasoning for Hitler wanting to exterminate the Jews. He saw them as powerfully perversive in undermining the supposed strength and pride of the German people. This was a DIRECT result of Germany having lost WWI. They needed a scapegoat. Regarding Jesus, Hitler WAS NOT a follower of Jesus. He believed Jesus was an ARIAN who was fighting to overthrow Jewish rule. He amdmired Jesus in that sense, but Jesus was merely a revolutionary to Hitler's thinking, another leader who was working to end the Jewish influence, and then of course Jesus ends up having millions of followers worldwide as a result of his rebellious and revolutionary behavior. Hitler WAS NOT a FOLLOWER of Jesus, Htiler SAW HIMSELF as a messianic figure, Hitler in his mind, WAS A NEW JESUS, a NEW MESSIAH!!!

But you CONTINUE to confuse what someone uses for JUSTIFICATION of their actions, with THE MOTIVES of their actions.

Like Hitler's twisted view of history, YOU TOO twist history for your own AGENDA.

Honestly, it is PATHETIC to reinvent history because you are so dead set, on making yourself the god of your own life, JUST AS HITLER DID.

You have much more in common with Hitler than you will ever want to admit. Possibly you suffer from narcissism too? Like Hitler, who revinvented history and in effect created his own religion, SO TOO do YOU do the same.

Sadly, what you don't understand, and what MOST Christians don't even understand for that matter, is that THIS IS THE ROOT OF SIN. You are merely guilty of THE ORIGIN OF SIN ITSELF.

Reversal of position between Creator and created being, IS SIN.

IT IS THE ROOT OF ALL SIN!!!

Your site proposes that YOU are equal to Creator God. The sin of REVERSAL of true positions is SO ALL CONSUMING, since it is the first sin, that it LEADS TO SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS beyond any and all rational thought!

You are equal to Creator God. How f*cking EVIL is that statement. God created the cosmos and everything in it. What have YOU created, Mr god jr.?

Have you created a planet?

No?

A single human being?

No?

One flower?

No?

But you are equal to Creator God?

What a f*cking joke!

Clearly we will NEVER be able to have a rational and informed conversation, because your narcissistic personality is such, that you invented your own religion, to bolster your wicked belief about yourself, that YOU are a god.

Look for a thread from me soon, entitled: THE ROOT OF ALL SIN

I am going to lay this out for you... ONE TIME

I suggest you read it thoughtfully and prayerfully, even if your ego can't admit doing so, publicly, because it may VERY WELL SAVE YOUR SOUL!

actually craig, I believe we are ALL (unfortunately this includes you because you are not a dark energy) equal to and a part of god. When jesus said i am one with the father, was that evil of him? I am one with the father. So are you. So is anyone reading this. The father doesn't want your worship and your money, he wants you to find your way back to him, not through the rediculous ways taught from the humans who wrote the bible, but through the very things he left here for that purpose. I understand your misguidance craig, you are victim to the writings of human history. I don't expect you to take my word for it nor do I care whether or not you do, you are not my current assignment from my church, but if you want to see for yourself, beyond the reasoning and writings of humanity, which is just one of millions of races that exist throughout the universe who have similar misconceptions, that is what I can show you. Once I show you how, it would be entirely up to you to go there and see for yourself. Once you've seen, you can understand.

To any and all reading this: If you believe in jesus and god as it is written in the bible for you, that is your choice, and more power to you. If you act like a hypocrite, shame on you. If you truly believe, and it gets you through the night and over the fear of death, then by all means, continue.

If you have sought all your life, as I have, read all the books of the bible and traditions of all the different religions, and tried it all for yourself and are still looking for more, then I will be glad to show you what I know and you can judge for yourself. I am not looking for followers. I am not looking for worship. I am not even looking for students, but will never turn away a seeker.

craig, you and I actually agree more than you seem to understand. My argument with you is irrelevant because of that. I know you are a seeker, and you've obviously read up on different subjects, but bear in mind, there are many different things written about all those historical events, I can probably find a text in contradiction to every one you've ever read, that is the way of things. My knowlege of what is in peoples hearts doesnt come from text books, and I never met hitler so I don't know for sure what was in his, I only know the version of history I have read, which may be different from yours. I was educated in the north, you in the south, or something, neither is bad, just all areas are different, there is no national standardized text book, schools choose their own, libraries stock what they choose, and you settle on what you settle on when looking up information on the internet. with 20,000 different written opinions on every subject out there, chances are we could argue for years (from the same standpoint) and never agree.

You obviously don't think the bible is the literal word of god, as a recent gallop poll says 78% of americans do, so you and I are on the same page.

You believe there is a basis in truth for all the written word

I believe there is a basis in truth for all the written word

We just believe the origin is a bit different. Any time you want to know how to find out for yourself, see for yourself, that I can teach you. I cannot give you the answers, but I can show you how to use the tools left here by "god" to find your way home to "him".

I quote the words god and him because neither are accurate discriptions of what thier true nature is.

Mike,

If you are equal to God, then simply answer me as to whether you have the power to form ONE SINGLE FLOWER or not?

God, is Creator God, who designed, created and maintains the entire cosmos.

YOU are His EQUAL.

What are your accomplishments then, so we may compare.

I have actually taken a female flower and cross polinated it with itself by hermaphroditing the plant...does that count?

I am not claiming to be his equal in this form. I cannot manipulate matter as I could if i were dead. We choose to become solid, we choose how we become solid, in what form, but those choices are made from the origin. Where all life begins and ends. Dont take my word for it, see for yourself.

Craig, I am equal to god, and Craig, so are you. So is every life form. From the smallest to the largest. Every living thing comes from the energy that you call god, I call the origin. The origin is pure energy, one energy with infinate consciousness, which means it has the ability to be anywhere, anytime, in any form. This form, human, is just one. We are cursed by the loss of the connection to the origin, that is why we have a natural instinct to seek spirituality.

Since I joined my church, I have discovered abilities that make me question my sanity sometimes. When you start to hear messages from the dead, you think you are going crazy, until someone validates what you are seeing by understanding the message. I have become a medium since I learned how to communicate with the origin. I have been paid for my services in that role and everyone I've ever read for has understood messages. I have spoken the dying words of peoples long departed grandparents, people I only met five minutes prior. I normally dont even take names when I book readings, I have someone else handle all that for me, but before that, I never had these abilities.

And before you go condemning me as crazy for claiming psychic ability, remember that even the god of the bible acknowleges they exist. In fact, it specifically tells you to avoid people with my gifts. Probably because we try to show you how to see for yourself. I dont take much for medium services, only what I need to cover expenses for travel, because I am often requested for out of state work, and I always encourage everyone I read for and everyone I discuss religion with, dont take my word for it. I can show you how to see for yourself.

Again, craig, you are as much equal to god as any of us. If you'd like to see for yourself, just ask, you've seen my blog, you therefore know how to get ahold of me outside of this forum. I am not trying to discourage your pursuit of spirituality, I am merely showing you another version. Judge for yourself. Those who do usually thank me. Those who choose not to, choose not to, no harm done. Just don't think for a moment that you and I disagree here. We are arguing the same middle from 2 different outside points. The bible is flawed by the hand of man. There is a lot missing from the book you know as the bible, and alot of what is missing fills in alot of the blanks, but is still flawed. The only true way to know god is to have a personal relationship and experience with him. Some come close, when you feel filled with the spirit, this takes that feeling to a whole new level.

I do not claim to want blind faith followers, I only want to share what I have seen, so, see for yourself.

Mike,

Thank you for keeping things civil, I'll try my best to reciprocate. I get worked over about certain issues that I feel are SUPREMELY important, like life and death important. My faith in this country and in freedom is an example, but God's place in our lives, or lack thereof is ABOVE ALL for me. And just as Jesus showed his strongest venom for those who claimed to represent God the Father, and DID NOT, I SHARE that kind of anger. He was angry, because people DO have the power to lead others, sometimes, to death, rather than to life. When someone claims to represent God, this is a COSMICALLY SIGNIFICANT MATTER.

You are sort of correct in that WE DO have "SOME" similar views.

But I am very concerned, because it is a small, very small, breath of a butterfly small, diversion from the path, that OVER TIME, can lead one to MANY false conclusions, and before long, without even noticing, that person suddenly is in a position diametrically OPPOSED to God's will.

Let me start with my position on God:

The Bible teaches that God is love.

I have come to understand that this is a very literal statement. It is my believe that God "IS" love itself. The power and force of LOVE. I bellieve that there is no stronger force in the Cosmos than LOVE. I bellieve that love is NOT a "feeling" but a FORCE. It is God's creative force. It is God Himself.

Believing this, means that when we, when ANYONE, shares LOVE, TRUE LOVE, they are sharing GOD with one another. When love (God) is shared with someone, and that someone returns love (God) then a circuit is in effect completed. The power is unbelievable, because God's love, has made a full circle, a union, a circuit completed, wherein the power flows unhindered in a perfect circle, a perfect CIRCUIT.

Because God is LOVE, and LOVE is a real and tangible power, then I believe that this power literally has the ability to form worlds. Because we have a very limited ability as humans, bound to a physical world, to contain that love in totality, then we cannot create worlds, but the amount of love, the amount of GOD, that we can contain, IS POWERFUL ENOUGH to do many things, like heal the sick, perform miracles, prophecy and many other things. It would be easy to get confused at this point, when one begins to have these abilities, to get off track, but this would be a SUPREME mistake, because it is not the human being Craig or Mike performing these feats, but it is GOD IN US which brings that power about. To forget this, is to err in a most serious way.

Yes, we agree that God, or at least some part of God, is in everything and everyone. But God's love creating something tangible, is not the same thing, as those things BEING GOD. Different things, are designed to contain varying degrees of God's energy. So while some people would like to think that a ROCK is equal to God, because it is made OF God, they are wrong. A rock cannot contain and then be a conduit for God's love. You cannot really have a relationship with a rock. But animals can respond more to God's love and force, and as we progress upward, the highest forms, HUMANS, ARE IN FACT designed to be the conduit, in this physical world, for God's love to be manifested and shared and reciprocated.

So, while I reject the basic tenets of Pantheism (The belief that all things are God) I also recognize that they have it right, in part. All things are not God, but all things are "OF" God, and have a part of God's energy and creative force within them.

I have come to learn that almost ALL religions, have various pieces of truth. And we get so hung up on our particular brand of truth, that it makes it almost impossible to JOIN THESE TRUTHS into a cohesive whole, that best resembles as much of God's truth that we are capable of contemplating and undestanding, as limited human beings.

You said you have psychic abilities. I do not find this hard to believe. And I do not agree with you that the Bible is against such abilities. On the contrary, the greatest figures in the Bible OFTEN held such abilities and displayed them and used them for good. You are confused about the wording. The Bible, for example, speaks against SORCERY, not psychic abilities per se.

Sorcery or witchcraft, is a FAR DIFFERENT thing than having various psychic abilities. People who are witches, believe for example, that there is power in things such as "incantations" or "voodoo like practices" or "potions".

The statement that then gets made, possibly without them realizing it, is that there is god-like power in THINGS or WORDS. In other words, it doesn't matter where my heart is, or where my faith is, I can speak these MAGICAL words, and my will can be accomplished. Possibly unitentionally, this BYPASSES the true power, that of God, and purports to hold mystical powers APART FROM or INDEPENDENTLY OF, Creator God. This is NOT TRUE, and is a lie. When naive or superstitious people then BELIEVE in a witches "power" they are placing their FAITH in a lie, rather than in God.

In this scenario, God is pretty much unecessary. I don't need to consult with God, and I do not need to pray to God, I merely need to repeat words on a page, words in a book of witchcraft, and I will obtain power ON MY OWN. I don't need God's permission for this, because the power comes through the incantation or through the mixing of a potion, or the treatment of a voodoo doll. I can have powers like god, WITHOUT the need for God Himself. Do you see why this would be unacceptable to God, whereas powers derived and extended FROM GOD HIMSELF would be the correct path, and would not exclude God?

Witches and many others, claim to have god-like powers, which in effect, sets them up as god-like, or even worse, as gods themselves, yet INDEPENDENTLY of the true God.

Your error, while unitentional, is HUGELY problematic.

Your belief is that, in being a PART of God, this makes you EQUAL in some way to God. This one step... this one LEAP, brings you away from the truth, and directly into the bowels of ORIGINAL SIN.

The ORIGINAL sin, both spiritually (angels sin) and physically (human's sin) was EXACTLY THE SAME!

Trying to usurp God's role, and become a god ourselves, reversing the true order of things, and making the Creator, into a created being, and making the created being, into the Creator.

Think about it.

The first sin in the spiritual world.

And the first sin in the physical world.

The same sin.

I'll explain this more in a separate thread, but for argument's sake, accepting that this is true, and that the same sin, caused BOTH angels AND mankind to fall... how big would this sin be? How tempting would this sin be? How hard to overcome, would this sin be, when both angels and humans, spiritual beings and physical ones, had the most practice with this sin, being the oldest one, and the FIRST one.

But to be "OF" something, or to be a "PART" of something, can NEVER be the same as BEING EQUAL TO IT.

When I blow my nose, a part of me has been expelled. That part of me, does not contain ALL OF ME. To be blunt, I am FAR MORE VALUABLE, and FAR MORE POWERFUL than the SNOT that is "OF" me, and a "PART" of me.

As a creative being, I have the ability to CREATE a work of art. My creativity and my work, and my energies, and my passions, ALL WENT INTO creating that piece of art. And while the pieces of art may RESEMBLE the nature within me, and it may even be IN MY IMAGE, nevertheless, it is not the same as BEING ME! It is not the same as "BEING" the CREATIVE INDIVIDUAL which CREATED the art.

The Bible NEVER says that WE ARE GOD. It says that we are made in the IMAGE OF GOD. These are VERY different things. When we look in a mirror, we see THE IMAGE OF OURSELVES, but you are not confused in that scenario, that the mirror's image is ACTUALLY YOU. It is NOT YOU, but merely a REFELECTION OF YOU! And while we could look at the cold hard glass, and get a good feeling of what you look like, and how you act, by seeing this image... would your children be satisfied with hugging the glass, rather than YOU? Would your wife be content sleeping beside your IMAGE in cold hard glass, or does she want your physical warm body and your heart beating next to her?

THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE between an IMAGE of something, and the ORIGINAL SOURCE of that image.

You can perceive MUCH about the creator of art, by the art he creates.

There are famous artists, well known throughout the world. And at certain periods of their creativity, they were depressed and made alot of dark paintings, and depressing and cold images that are haunting. There are scholars who call this their "dark period" for example. Then that artist finds more joy in his life, and suddenly that new found joy is reflected in his paintings.

In such an example, clearly, we could perceive a GREAT DEAL about this artist's life, and even his moods and feelings, through his art. We could perceive MUCH of the inner feelings and attitudes of this artist without even meeting him personally, because THE ART is IN HIS IMAGE. And the image gives us HUGE CLUES as to the invisible nature of the creator of that art.

The art is often MADE IN THE IMAGE of it's Creator.

But would the child or lover of that artist be content, when the artist died an untimely death? By your reasoning they should be, because they have THE IMAGE of the man, through his works. And THE IMAGE of someone, or a PART of someone, makes it EQUAL to that same someone. Right? Can the lover, or the kids, take these paintings and then not feel a loss, since they have the IMAGE in their possession still, though the source of the image has now gone?

Of course not.

And I "hope" that this illustrates the difference to you.

YES, we are "OF" God, YES we are "PART" of God, YES we are "IN THE IMAGE OF GOD" but this, CLEARLY, is NOT EVEN CLOSE to "BEING" God.

btw...

God does not have a GENDER.

His masculinity is empahized because in human relationships between husband and wife, the man is traditionally meant to be the spiritual head of the household. Part of this is because of STRENGTH and PROTECTION. God must be loved, but generally before love, is respect for his power and position. A man is designed to be stronger physically than a woman, and he therefore would normally assume the role in the family of PROTECTOR. When harm comes, who does not expect the man, to be a man, and say "Honey, take the kids inside" and he stands there BETWEEN the threat and his family, and deals with what he must, to PROTECT the family he loves.

This in NO WAY detracts from the abilities and talents or worth of women. A woman bears children, and has a whole other range of possiblities that are ALSO a reflection of God. And these things are EXCLUSIVE to femininity, and not available to males.

It is MAN and WOMAN together, that are the truest reflection of God. It is MAN and WOMAN together that are the truest IMAGE of God.

The Bible teaches that BOTH men and women are created in the image of God.

If this can be believed to be true, and I KNOW that it is. This means that BOTH masculinity and femininity are the image of God.

God contains with Himself, attributes of BOTH masculine and feminine natures. He could not CREATE or more accurately GIVE LIFE without BOTH these attributes.

In a very real sense, God divides his nature, among humans, into masculinity and femininity and we COME BACK TOGETHER, and are then a more complete reflection of God, and not coincidentally, they then have the COMBINED elements which are necessary, to bring forth life themselves. To conceive children.

Once again, the force of life, the creation of LIFE, is a completed CIRCUIT. God as origin, divides into male and female (like protons and electrons or positive and negative charges) and these procede OUTWARD from God, and when man and woman JOIN in love, in a sexual union, then the CIRCUIT is COMPLETED, and the power of this completed union, this completed circuit, then PRODUCES or CREATES something amazing... the life of a conceived child. A new life.

God divides his nature, into man and woman, and then reunites Himself through their union, and LIFE IS PRODUCED.

craig, agian we are in agreement and you don't even realize it. When I refer to we are all equal to god, I do not mean in the physical life. Out of body we are god, in body we are OF god as you put it. The part that you seem to be missing is that as important as things are in this life to us while we are here, the most important thing is beyond this life.

My beliefs stem from ancient beliefs written millenia ago in the same bible jesus read and preached from. The bible does specifically say do not seek out mediums (Leviticus 19:31), but it all stems back to the books that were removed. Your belief that god is love is a very significant belief, because brother, you haven't felt love until you have felt the origin. It is a place of pure peace, it is, for all intent and purposes, heaven.

The greatest prophets of all time, including jesus, worked from the complete bible. Only 5 of those original books truly remain, the ones Jesus preached from, were much more than the 5 books of the torah. The koran is a book derived from some of the same books that used to be in the christian bible, they just went a different route.

It is amazing how many times there are references in the bible by jesus himself to things that are no longer in the bible. Like the Abomination that Causes Desolation. (Mark 13:14) but you cannot find the Abomination that Causes Desolation in the current bible because it is in the second book of Daniel, discarded from the bible for its mention of ritualistic use of the holy grail mushroom.

Let us speak for a moment about recent news out of the christian world. The Lutheran church, the original protestants, have decided that their gay clergy should now also be allowed to have committed relationships like their heterosexual counterparts. I commend them on their choice to do so, I applaud them in fact. Many are up in arms about it here. I dont understand why...

They keep saying it is an abomination before god. Well, lets look into this, shall we...

The word abomination is mentioned in only 8 different verses of the current accepted version of the bible NIV, or 10 in the KJV. In the NIV it refers to a profecy of Daniel about the Abomination that causes desolation. Now, this passage makes no real sense in the current bible because it is not referring to anything still in the bible. Fact is, that refers to a second book of daniel that was omitted from the bible because it speaks of daniels use of the sacred markers.

In the KJV it refers to certain birds, such as eagles, as abominations and once in Leviticus, which we will discuss soon.

Never once does the word abomination appear in reference to homosexuality in the bible.

Passages that refer to homosexuality refer to god creating homosexuality as a punishment for worshiping "false gods" in a fit of jealous rage.

Most christians cling to Leviticus 18:22, thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind, it is an abomination. Anywhere else in the passages directly before this one and directly after, when referring to a sexual act, it specifies it with the word carnally (KJV) or sexually (NIV). It is specifically omitted from 18:22, but in proverbs 6 it lists the 7 abominations, they are:

A proud look
a LYING tounge
Hands that shed innocent blood
A heart that deviseth wicked imaginations
feet that be swift in running to mischief
a false witness who speaks lies
he that soweth discord among brethren

no mention of homosexuality, but twice a mention of lies. the NIV verse of Leviticus 18:20-24

20 " 'Do not have sexual relations with your neighbor's wife and defile yourself with her.

21 " 'Do not give any of your children to be sacrificed [a] to Molech, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.

22 " 'Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.

23 " 'Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; that is a perversion.

24 " 'Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, because this is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you became defiled.


again, mentions lies, but doesn't specify sexually like it would in the prior and proceeding passages. So tell me folks, where does it say in the bible any thing about homosexuality being an abomination?

These are the questions that require you to look deeper than the bible into spirituality. I am a psychic medium not because I am gifted, but because I use the sacred marker to connect with the origin and have a direct line to god, so to speak. I am in this life to lead some back to this original path that religion was on before man corrupted it. The original books confirm what I say about the ritual, and once you see for yourself, I don't need to explain god to you, you will understand for yourself, well, in time you understand, at first its pretty overwhelming, you don't really understand anything, you just know you have never felt such peace and love before..

addressing your witchcraft sentiment, I mirror your opinion on that, but the bible really only refers to mediums, the word sorcerer applied to that too, it just depended upon the translation, the original text refered to those who speak to the dead.

sorcery and witchcraft use ritual incantation and words to attempt to access the energy of god and bend it to their will. These things are bs and will not work.

certain abilities, all psychic and all non-tangible, meaning not physical, become possible through the communion with the link. I can sense emotion, even through messages on the internet, I am sensitive to general mood in a crowd, i have found that I am affected by nature more now than before, sensitive to the energies of all life that springs from the earth, which itself is an energy, but a rock is not, communication with the dead. I feel changes in weather, as I can feel the lowered energy of the sun when it gets cloudy.

Since I started down the path in this church, I have quit smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, I have learned to talk to god, and I am a much calmer person than I ever was before. I don't struggle with decisions like I used to because I can find comfort and guidance directly from god anytime I want, and I have taught others to do so. I have been called prophet, though I only think of myself as one with a message to share. Some claim some of my predictions were impossible, and have given me more credit than I deserve.

I tell everyone I predict anything to, every choice we make changes the outcome, no future is set in stone. There are pivital choices that we may encounter that create paths that all lead to the same place, but there is always no one to blame for the circumstances in your life but yourself. There are dark energies in the universe, and they are in direct contradiction to everything that the light, we, god, stand for, but when they become human, they are remembered...hitler...The things that happen to us in our personal lives that are bad are because we made bad decisions, not because some devil interfered with our lives.

That is what most religions have become. Excuses to never take responsibility for our actions. If things go bad, the devil has been attacking, if things go well, go has guided us...our choices dictate the outcome. If we choose to follow jesus and we live a good, non-hypocrite life, then it doesn't matter if we're right or wrong cause in the end we all go to the same place. If you live in defiance of the laws of the universe, by being a hypocrite, then you have to answer to yourself in the origin, for it is you, one again with god, that holds yourself to scorn. please, follow my blog and comment in it, debate is good for all...

Oh the openmindedness of humans. All those who speak for god meet resistance. Look what they did to Jesus for it...

Mike,

I am pleased that you are pursuing a spiritual path, but if you were where you could be, you would have been told about me. I have been testified about, by psychics (including one who is used by police agencies for crimes they have no leads on) by fervent Christians who have had visions and been told things in prayer, and a Prince of Zaire, to name a few. People here think I am whacky enough as it is, but if I shared all the signs that accompanied my birth and throughout my life, the personal experiences I have had with God, angels and the deceased... they'd have me committed. ;-)

Perhaps one day I'll take that risk.

But not today. ;-)

For now, you'll have to consult your "council of elders" about me. :-)
