Jack's original comments from the previous blog, "Let me ask you this... How many other religions offer Eternal Life for FREE given by a risen Savior who is God Himself?"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eternal life for free? I do not believe that was the focus of my initial interest or query. Nor do I have the desire to become the backstop to anyone's pontification. I respectfully request to avoid any dogmatic entanglements for the sake of debate. However you are free to say whatever you like, and please, by all means speak candidly.

 
Here is what I find to be true 99% of the time. Religious followers have a tendency to lock themselves into this figurative room of their cultures religion and presume to know the truth of our existence. From their little room with walls and no skyline they presume to preach "the truth" about the heavens; the truth of our existence and of the world, visions of the future -- all from their little room. Meanwhile, next to them in their little room, is another isolationist locked in their figurative room of their cultures religion, shouting from the doorway their proverbial truth. They all shout so loud from their doors that a funny thing happens. Because they never leave their figurative comfort zone, they never truly see one another. And with all the shouting they never take the time to listen.

 

They presume to know based on their bias. They blindly grasp at what they want to believe and they miss out on the very thing they so desire to see.

 

Now anyone here can claim to have studied all of the worlds religions and the history of these religions. They can say they have taken a liberal arts approach. They can stand behind scientific method acknowledging all the while that condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance. They can claim to have covered all bases. Whether that is true or not is reflected in your sentiments often unbeknownst to most others including yourself.

 

If it is truth you seek, then do not presume to know how to move the earth from an island. However, if it is comfort you seek then stay on that island.

I agree, Thomas.  We should have never allowed govt control of the schools.
Comment by Thomas Gambill on May 18, 2011 at 8:00pm
The government/Globalist got involved and controlled education since 1904 to now.  They have integrated a Humanist Socialist program by Rockefeller foundation in order to control and set up the control of the mind of our ancestors to now.   It was in the planning to set up future generations for the NEW WORLD ORDER.  I have their agenda, timeline and programs that they set up.   Its part of the Jesuit/Illuminati, Political Zionist, and Masonic order to bring us to a NWO.    John Dewey was major player in not only setting up this Education fraud and the UFO hoax planning started in 1917.  All the History books are in fact fabricated.

As for prayer or not in public school, that's the wrong question.  The question is why should the government be involved in school at all.

@ Krypke, some claim it's hostile separation, but I just don't see that way.  What I do see is that the dominant religion doesn't want to share the spotlight with the others or with nonbelievers.

@ Thomas. We may be saying the same thing. Separation of church and state have long been the subject of debate. From the Romans to the Monarchs, the founding fathers, and even today. Because of this, scholars have identified two types of separation: friendly and hostile. Friendly separation safeguards either institution from the others impeding control and influence for nefarious purposes. The liaison between church and state is open succor but restricted so that one may not take over and monopolize the other.

 

The two most oppressive institutions in mankind's recorded history are Church and State; you hinder tyranny, offer sanctity, and rule of law to citizenry under the aegis of separation. 

 

Thomas Jefferson writes:

"Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof", thus building a wall of separation between Church & State."

 

The derived concept; the phrase, "separation of church and state" goes back to Thomas Jefferson's letter to Baptists in Connecticut. Jefferson coined it and scholars codified the differences between friendly and hostile.

 

Hostile separation is what we see in secular America. Public displays of faith are discouraged and in some cases (public schools e.g.) are not allowed. Religious practice becomes confined to churches and private gatherings. Thomas Jefferson foresaw this encroachment of government imposing the collective will of tyrants upon the soldiers of God. Hence, separation of church and state.

 

For centuries elites have ruled by the authority of divine right; a state imposed theocracy. The Monarchs did it, the Egyptian Pharaohs, the Holy Roman empire was a pagan theocracy; countless Kings, even those mentioned in the Old Testament; mid evil kings etc. History is replete with rulers adorning religious symbols boasting priestly titles. If God is for us, who can stand against us, as it were.

 

One word -- control.

@Jack..one point, Walter Veith is a SDA, therefore his material concerning other religions is right on but he is part of the SDA so to be taken with a grain of salt in that reguard.  Reference the teaching of Ellen White.

@Jack......here you go.  The Nine.

agreed.......be ready for a fake rapture, Bluebeam to disillusion the Christians who have not said the prayer of repentance in their heart to be turned and confused.
Comment by Thomas Gambill on May 17, 2011 at 7:11pm
Relative to the Rapture.   Being that there is really no clear cut determination when the Rapture is to take place I'm a believer in the doctrine that "no man knows the day or the hour of his return" and certainly not the Rapture.    It makes sense to the pre-trib and it also makes sense to the Pre-wrath.   I am fairly certain that it will be before the wrath but I'm on the premise that it could be any time from here on in.  Why from here?   lol  we are still writing on the computer as of this PM.
Comment by Thomas Gambill on May 17, 2011 at 5:00pm
@Jack. were you aware of the way government controls the religion?   The notion of separating church and state is their strategy to take away from the public the best way they can connect the dots of the "HOW" the Illuminati/Jesuits/Masons/Political Zionist has this World Revolutionary Movement organized.
