Some people are just jerks. Jesus was killed by religious jerks. Some people believe in God but their faith has been corrupted by false teachings; others only pretend to believe for the sake of self-aggrandizement; and there are some people who are humble and genuinely loving to others. A...

Jesus was okay with it. Me, I am just a man, so I might not have such a serene attitude, but the divine ideal is that I should. Caesar was only ruler over Israel through force of arms. So if it is legitimate to pay taxes to Caesar, then Caesar's means of acquiring power (IE conquest) is...

We have free will to act according to our own nature and our own circumstances, to gain our own knowledge and opinions, to create our own reality. But here is a question for you: where does consciousness come from? In a purely mechanistic universe, there would be no such thing as a conscious...

What a beautiful prayer! Amen!

What causes a person to make a decision? Is it purely random? Or does it follow some sort of logic?

Jesus preached during the time of Roman occupation of Judea. The Jews tried to trap Jesus, and asked him if they should pay taxes to Caesar. It was a clever trick, if he said yes, then it would imply that Israel, God's Kingdom, was subordinate to Rome, a secular realm. Obviously this would be...

Think of the relationship that Jews had with historical Babylon. It was an oppressor, it was an enemy that attacked them and conquered them and took them in captivity. Babylon in symbolism is not the literal city of Babylon, it is the idea of Babylon, of that worldly empire that oppresses the...

Do you put your faith in Jesus? I assume the answer is yes. And are you always perfect in all you think say and act? I assume the answer is no. Well there is your answer. It's not just like that for you, it is like that with everyone. Nobody is perfect on this Earth. God works through weakness...

God be with you my brother. I pray that God keeps you and your family safe and brings peace to your home. I pray that you serve the Lord in all that you do. Amen.

And, I know this feeling, this constant anxiety of whether you will be judged for every little thing- it isn't healthy. God is loving and understanding of our needs, so be at peace.

The question is - are you being loving to other people? Project thoughts and words and actions that show love for others. People's minds are filled with all sorts of chaos and we can't always control what we think but we can try to control what we say. And if we say something that offends...

Nonono, Beast 1: /// 13 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. /// Beast 2: /// 11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had...

Prophesy is looking into the mind of God. The physical world is a shadow of the mind of God. The symbols and impression's of God's mind are what is true in heaven, and what is true in heaven, is true on Earth. You know of the collective unconscious? There is a font of knowledge that all humans...

P.S. and if you want to know what a star is: Revelation 12 4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. Revelation 8 10 And the...

Here is an example of Biblical symbolism: Revelation 8 10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; 11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the...

Yes, my point exactly. Prophesy is always done in the form of dreams and visions. It is not about what you see, but about the impressions that these things leave on you. Interpreting dream symbolism is how Daniel rose to prominence. If dreams were literal, Daniel wouldn't have a job.

The beast represents the animal nature, fleshly evils, and mortal men (the mortal men may be rulers but they are ultimately insignificant), the real spirit controlling the beast is the rider. Revelation 11 3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a...

If it's all literal then what is there to misunderstand? It would all be straightforward, a war, a false god, an evil high priest. Nothing to interpret. It only becomes difficult to understand if they are not literal and do require an interpretation.

Here is another example of how prophesy works: Zechariah 4 11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof? 12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the...

Daniel said this immediately after describing the prophesy. So he is talking about all these things, a war, a new god, an evil high priest in the temple, then Daniel says "I don't get what any of this means". So in other words, he knows it is not literal, he is asking God, what these things...
