Is it Christianity, or Peteranity?... In fact, Peter DENIED Jesus. Moreover, there are many passages of the scriptures where Jesus tells the apostles off due to how stupid they were. Be careful what you read, the bible is a mine field.

Judgment Day could be tomorrow. It means you will stand before Him and be judged. It doesn't necessarily mean the world is ending when that happens. All throughout the Bible, you are warned that tomorrow is not given to you and when the time comes that you are taken, you best be prepared to stand before Him. Heck, I could drop dead between typing one letter of this post and next, and that's time for Judgement.

But go ahead and be complacent.

If there is God, like you believe then I have nothing to fear. I am very kind out here in the 3d world.




Hell will be full of good ol boys and nice people. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Jesus (Yeshua) said " I am the way the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me".

He didn't make Tartarus for humanity. It was made for fallen angels that left their first abode, many of which had unlawful sex with Human women, producing Nephilim offspring with no soul(spirit only).

That is the wonderful mystery of God's love. Peter was warned what he would do beforehand. He was also forgiven and inhabited by the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 16:18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

Are you paying attention? There is still hope for you, as long as you live. Don't let pride and arrogance get in your way. Seek Christ, and follow him, just as Peter, John, Matthew, and even the pharisee Paul! Now that was an arrogant man. Paul was something else. He and Peter butt heads. The Lord loved them dearly and loves each of us the same. It is up to us to make the choice. There are only two choices: The god of this world (Satan), or the Living God and creator of this Universe and all things seen and unseen. YHWY, Jehovah, Jesus, Yeshua, the great I Am that I Am.

Make the right choice. You are an eternal being, and your destination choice is crucial.

LOL, loved your comment. Well, in fact, if you read closely, all the apostles technically either denied, abandoned, or rejected Jesus at one point, not just Peter or Judas. Peter actually denied him 3 times, not just one. And poor Judas, he took all the blame, when he wasn't the only one who denied Jesus. He even repented! So, yes, it's an interesting topic for sure.

Thanks for your worrying brother. The issue is that, even if I can agree or not with the teaching of Jesus that we read in the gospels, another thing is the leap of faith required to believe in the accounts as are told in the gospels. We don't even know which apostles (if any) wrote which gospel!... And again, in the very book we see Jesus making reference on how stupid these apostles (who, again, all denied or abandoned Jesus in one way or another) were. So, sorry, I cannot put faith on something that doesn't allow me to verify its authenticity.

Yes, as a soul I'm eternal, no question there.

Best to you,
Much love.

I don't believe any of that. For some, perhaps like you, it gives comfort and meaning to their lives. I can see value in that. Some need a crutch as life can be difficult and traumatic. I also see the harm it does and has done throughout history.
'The road to hell is paved with good intentions' could just as easily be 'no good deed goes unpunished'. Pithy sayings prove nothing really and I have no time for those that feel the need to quote such things.

if you think Christianity and its beliefs has done harm in history, look at what anti-Christian ideologies have brought about. mass murder in Nazi Germany, Soviet Union, Communist China; multiple terror networks in the Islamic world.

Christianity has given us hospitals, soup kitchens, literacy, work ethic, and 'love your neighbor'.

as for being a crutch; I've never known anyone who didn't need some outside support at some point in their life. some find solace in drugs, alcohol, physical relationships, sports teams, etc. many harmful, none bringing true peace and help.

I wish it was that simple. I can't tell you when I see a person if they are left or right, D or R, or NP. I can only tell you what I see.

If you talk the talk, but don't walk the walk, I will be able to see who you show me you are. Not who you say you are.

You teach people how to treat you. You cannot claim defiance, if you are living in compliance.

Many live only for the money and power promised by the world. They not only choose the world, they choose to die for the promises of the world and have given themselves over to reprobate minds.

It is easy to see how we got here. I believe, truly believe, that it will completely play out, like it has been written.

You clearly misunderstand me - the truth of salvation is so simple that even a child, or a mentally challenged adult, can understand it. The work of God, the salvation of our souls, is simply this - that we believe that Jesus Christ came in the flesh & died so that our sins could be forgiven. That's it, literally.

The complexity of the Old Testament is an obstacle to understanding this simple message of the New Testament, and that is partly by design, in that the laws of the Old Testament simply prove to us that we are a fallen race, and cannot save ourselves by good actions - we must depend on the grace of God, revealed in the life, death & resurrection of Jesus Christ, sealed & proven with authority by the provision of the Holy Spirit to the early church leaders & members, a practice/gift that is still going on today, for those who believe. The Jews are stuck in a complex legal argument by which they think they can acquire salvation, if they stick to all the rules. However, the rules were given simply to show that rule following wouldn't work, to save us from ourselves. Only the death & resurrection of Christ is able to redeem those who are lost.

Having said that, Christians who want to deepen their faith can & usually do spend a lifetime absorbing the complex information regarding God, faith, prophecy, history & so forth in the Old Testament, it is extremely edifying to do so with the help of a pastor & other church members. But the true message of salvation is eminently simple, and always was/ will be.

Your point is valid to an extent - naturally, we are obliged to utilise our gifts, including intellect - Jesus illustrated this with the parable of the talents, where the master's servants were required to invest & develop profit from the gifts that the master entrusted to them. Indeed, the one who refused to take a chance & invest his talent was deemed to be worthless, so in the end you may be right in some cases. However, I think that the level of disinformation is so strong in this world that sometimes people of faith retreat into their faith as a defence mechanism, fearful of engaging with the world & exercising their intellect to tear down false strongholds. That's understandable in light of the disinformation & widespread corruption in the world, so I don't believe God will turn them away, He would likely have a strong word with them to demonstrate how they could have lived a better life during their time on Earth.

Also, the napkin meme is absurd, it means nothing & has no bearing on the intricate perfectionism of the Old Testament scribes, who were required to copy the ancient texts so accurately that if they made a single mistake, they were required to scrap even many thousands of words written correctly to start again. The Jews took their obligations very seriously, and the words written down were backed up by oral prophecy which came true, repeatedly, and general experience of miracles & angels in Old Testament (& New testament) times. You could argue the same about a science textbook, because it too combines knowledge revealed intellectually, and is backed up by the proofs of experience. Same difference. Your argument is invalid.

Great post & valid points. I too found rock bottom before a miraculous encounter with God which led me into salvation, and the greatest adventure ever. I too pity those who do not yet understand the gift of faith, and a relationship with God through Christ. It is the most wonderful thing in the world to be in the presence of God, typically during worship or group prayer, but also in isolation during personal devotions. I receive information in dreams & visions that has a real, actual & entirely positive impact on the progress of my life - I see risks ahead of time, for example.

Once I was warned not to proceed along a road where several men were fighting outside a pub. In the dream I saw the exact scene, and was told that it would be a big mistake to try to drive through the group - their anger & hatred would be irrationally turned onto me. The very next day I was driving through town & saw the exact scene I had seen in my dream - I immediately turned the car around & chose another route.

This is just one of many examples where I was warned ahead of time regarding some potential disaster, and indeed there were other incidents in which i was miraculously protected from harm in a way that could only be described as miraculous, there was no other explanation.

Faith brings adventure, gifts, safety, healing & redemption - it is the greatest thing one can find in this world.

Does the mind exist beyond the body? Yes, I believe it does. In addition to having had multiple out of body experiences, I have experienced death in my dreams many times & each time found myself in Heaven thereafter. Of course, these are just signs pointing to the validity of my faith, but I believe in what I have been shown.

Furthermore, from a scientific standpoint, I believe that no matter what, information is always preserved - the mind/soul is an information complex which is held together by the physical brain while here on the Earth, building castles made of sand with each calculation we make, leaving an imprint on our consciousness which remains throughout our lives as memory - and after our death, the framework of the universe automatically takes over from the brain & preserves the data which constructs our mind/soul complex.

That is what I believe based on broad research & inquiry over the past twenty years or so, and I stand by it implicitly. I believe that we are preserved, that nobody is ever truly lost, that even after death there is the chance of redemption - near death experience studies effectively & conclusively prove this, by showing that people who found themselves in a Hell type environment after their death, cried out to God for salvation, and indeed God liberated them from that realm & brought them into a Heavenly place, prior to sending them back to be resuscitated by the medics & thereafter to live a transformed life.

Serious stuff, worth investigating.

Thanks for your kind words - it seems we share the same opinion on this matter. I sincerely hope that the world will accept its 'rock bottom' (the purgatory of judgement) as an opportunity to turn their eyes Heavenward, to invite the support of the Creator, who absolutely does provide salvation to those who ask for it in humility & honesty, essentially no matter the kind of life they have lived to that point. People can be fundamentally changed by being reborn in a spiritual sense, and it is important that we continue to press home the message of salvation through Christ, as vocally as possible, so that when the time comes, people will understand what is required of them in order to proceed through the disaster that has come upon the world, homeward into the arms of God.

Hi ATS,

Have you ever read the Book of the Revelation of St John & wondered why the people refused to turn to God, even when God had proven His existence through miracles, prophecy, signs in the Heavens & the witness of the believers who were trying to share the truth about the blessings they themselves had received? Even when it was made fully apparent to them that they were experiencing a time of testing, challenge, refinement - perhaps even a form of 'living purgatory', to cause them to reconsider their perspective, to encourage them to turn away from their godless, heartless, murderous beliefs, which had been set in context as a literally Satanic worldview inculcated in their hearts & minds in the time before the End of Days came upon the world for real? The descent into corruption that this world has witnessed over the past seventy years is astonishing, even breathtaking when you view it in sequence as a series of steps downwards towards doctrines which are literally Hell-inspired.

How Satanism conquered America

And that's not limited to America, it's all over the Western world. I despair to see videos of girls out on the town on a night out in Manchester, UK, when questioned about abortion rights by a news reporter, these young girls (aged around 23, 24 yrs) literally cackled like witches & started chanting "Kill the f**ing babies, kill the fu**ing babies" to the horror of the reporter. And it's not unique - such mockery of the murder of unborn infants can be found all over social media, and most chilling, in the new Chris Rock Netflix 'COMEDY' special. He literally stands up there on stage & makes joke after joke about how he supports the murder of infants, right up to the nine month mark - and then he 'jokes' about killing them after they're born, a 'late stage abortion'. He elicits screams & roars of laughter from the packed out audience of thousands in Baltimore, hooting & hollering in support of the mockery of the murder of unborn infants.

I had to switch it off, I simply couldn't watch any more, it was brutal, tragic, it cut me to my core, I was shocked. To see so many thousands of people revelling, glorying in the brutal & painful death of unborn infants, who, let us remember, are perfectly viable living beings from the age of 24 weeks gestation in these times of modern technology & comfortable living standards. To see such cruel mockery of the miracle of lilfe, as though they were not a living soul to begin with, as though they were instead some sort of cancerous tumour to be removed, excised from the body of the mother as if they were a malignant growth designed to cause her pain & discomfort, rather than the wonderment of a mother's creation - simply tragic.

When we look at the music industry nowadays, we see the disgusting filth peddled as 'art', with 'artists' openly glorifying Satan, sin & degradation of the sanctity of human life. Perversion, degenerate shock culture, LGBTQPEDO+ affiliated personalities who deliberately lead the children into debasement & sadomasochism before the age of thirteen. We look at the world of children's animation, and we see utterly corrupt & perverse shows designed to warp the minds of the CHILDREN who they are aimed at, even though they are loosely claimed to be 'adult' programmes. The creator of Ren & Stimpy, way back in the 90's, was a paedophile. The guy who created Rick & Morty created a bunch of child rape scenes in his previous commissioned animation work for various TV studios. The show 'Human Resources' is one of the sickening offshoots of the degenerate perverse filth many will be aware of as the animation 'Big Mouth' which is all about 'monsters' who encourage children to masturbate & get involved in perversion & degeneracy. Human Resources is worse than Big Mouth, as if such were even possible - but it is. We look at Hollywood & we see it is propping up Human Trafficking of children, the elite paedophile rings which cruise around in international waters & literally butcher children for snuff movies, island hopping in the genre of Epstein.

This world is so horribly, horribly corrupt at this moment in history, it is literally worse than it has ever been, and sadly it seems as it's a one way street, there seems to be no turning back, we are sliding down a razor's edge to the gates of Hell. The elites are letting all this filth grow, festering beneath the surface, dressing it up as acceptable 'comedy', as 'enlightened' views about 'bodily autonomy' (forgetting the hypocrisy when this argument couldn't be applied to a person's right to refuse mRNA injections).

The left wing views which have been programmed into vast swathes of society also are so extreme in some cases that they border on diagnosable insanity. Christians are mocked, excluded from the national debates, they are pursued vindictively in the courts by activists who scream & rage on behalf of the 0.5% of the population who have genuine gender dysphoria. Any 'watchful waiting' or 'talking therapies' are vehemently protested, in favour of affirmative action to mutilate the bodies of children who have expressed even the merest hint of any weak 'indication' that they are questioning gender roles, or borrowing mum's beads & shoes for dress up one afternoon - suddenly they're trans....

The more I look at what is being permitted, encouraged, supported & promoted towards our children, and with regards to 'acceptable' views on the disposability of human life & the apparent need to pervert the minds of those children we do permit to live, the more I can understand why the End of Days judgments actually are a necessary fact of salvation - people are so damn lost they haven't even the slightest idea that they have been corrupted at such a deep level. It's mainly been achieved, sadly, by the insanity & perversion which is dressed up as comedy, over the past thirty years in particular - a literal wolf in sheep's clothing, something which seems so fun & innocuous - but look where it's taken us now..

It seems to me that the Apocalypse will be a wakeup call for those who have been conditioned into these corrupt & perverse mindsets. It is foretold that they will persist & continue to refuse to repent despite the obvious implications of what is unfolding - until the very end, when finally some will. They are so lost that they question the God who created a beautiful world, who created life itself, who prepared a place for us in Heaven when our work here is done. The mysteries of faith are so far from the minds of ordinary men & women these days that they view God as their enemy, or feel entitled to 'the Universe' doing them all sorts of favours while requiring nothing in return in terms of holiness, peace, grace, humility & so on. Faith, hope & love are what is required of us, with love being the greatest - but solely human love for our friends & relatives isn't enough, in terms of ethical responsibility towards the world & the people around us, not only our friends & family.


The Bible by now should be relegated to the speculative philosophy section on the shelf .
Your belief does not equal reality.
Eschatology is the most foul of all religious studies, because it is all an opinion with zero evidence & a convenient moving goal post.

I'm not even talking about OP who abuses his spiritual cloak to cover his own demons.


What the absolute # do you mean by that? You can't drop an obscure comment in without explaining yourself. Explain how I abuse my spiritual cloak - what does that even mean? I can assure you I am not seeking to abuse anything about my spiritual life - I am only attempting to speak truth to power, I am only attempting to exemplify the need to act to expose the darkness & promote the light. There is zero abuse involved, and I find your statement grossly offensive as a result. I would suggest that you are trying to undermine the truth I am promoting (see the second post in which I show summaries of Old & New Testament truth, the requirements of God towards Man. Again, zero abuse of any sort involved, your argument is utterly & remarkably invalid.

Well then you took it exactly as I meant it. You're not looking for truth & light don't be silly.
You seek validation and use spirituality as a cloak. Which means you want to surpress everything true spirituality entails.
I can smell your demons from here, it's not your first thread I'm reading and we've talked about it. You use your book to blame society for your own darkness but because you say 'Jesus' a million times per day you're now suddenly 'good'?
No.
