Light and darkness were created for a reason. Everything dark cannot mingle with the Light, nor can it be mixed. Once the Light is shined upon the darkness, all things are thereby exposed and the darkness hates it. Furthermore, even in the darkest of places, even a speckle of Light can be seen. It's too powerful. Thus you have the children of the Light and the children of the dark. This is why there is so much anger and hostility against the Light, for the darkness will finally have to show it's evil deeds and be reproved.
You praying like the pharisees did, so that all can hear your illustrious speech to the heavens?

I assumed that everyone on ATS knew about the PTB and them re-writing some history. So I ask you, if you were an angelic being and you deep down had hatred and jealousy of One that was greater than you in all ways and you wanted to be him and noticed that there was a creation (that knew of the superior) less smarter than you and were easily manipulated, what would you do???
You would lie to them correct??? You would want all the creation worshipping you, so you could not only stick in the superiors face, but at the same time become him. You would try your best to get the lower creation to think that there is no need to follow the superior. At the same time however, you lie to them about who you really are, so they would not even think of the superior. Then, since they're so easily mislead, you puff up their egos, making them think that all truth lies within themselves and that they could do any and everything, thereby feeling as if they need no superior.
Then for kicks, you tell them to do everything the superior hates, just to rub it in his face. However, there's something that you forgot. The superior has his people to tell the world the truth and expose your lies, so then you get nervous and blatantly attack his people. Try everything in your knowledge to get rid of them, so that everyone won't find out what really is going on. So, again since this creation is dull, you create other beliefs and make up stories, so that more people would be confused. You then start to put in agents among the superiors people, to try and break his people up. Little do you know however, that the superior is always a million steps ahead and you start to run out if options.
What to do, what to do, you ask yourself ...then Viola!!!! Make people believe another creation exists and get them to think that they are their Creators! That'll DEFINITELY win over everyone right???
We will see Lord willing ")

Jesus Himself told us many, many false prophets and false Christs will arise, some will even call themselves Christ.

Because we don't believe what you do we are obviously inferior to you...
Transcend your ego my friend.

Baal huh??? I doubt Baal would get me to forgive my family, when I received the Holy Ghost, when beforehand, my heart was filled with hatred towards them and no, I thought it was perfectly fine and I had no deep desire to change. Also, Baal wouldn't tell me to stop smoking, drinking and listening to worldly music (including "Gospel", but why is another story. Filthy lucre). Nor would he tell me to stop celebrating pagan "holi"days, nor would he tell me to do right when I'm in the wrong.
You see, living satanic is all about being selfish and living for the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob is all about being selfless. Now, as for beating around the bush, I have no clue what you are talking about. Look at all of my posts here, I've been straightforward with everybody.edit on 18-4-2012 by scmoG because: (no reason given)
Schools are for learning. Church is for studying your bible. By studying the bible in school you're hindering true education, and that's where many of us have a problem.

Honestly, I believe if atheists took the time to realize what society is pushing, they would see the spiritual war that is taking place. Examples???
1) How bibles used to be taught in school, but now kids in elementary school are being taught evolution (always the kids).
It's not that being a virgin is an embarrassment, but rather that it's abnormal based upon current moral standards.
2) God tells us to not to fornicate, but yet society actually pushes it as if that you aren't cool unless you have sex. Being a virgin is now seen as an embarrassment.
Since all those "sinful" gays are barred from getting married, fault for the high divorce rate falls largely on the heterosexual population. Women are finally free enough to take command of their own destinies, and that's often at odds in our patriarchal society where many religious minded individuals still believe that our place is at home breeding, not making something of our lives or doing what we may enjoy. If you don't like divorce, don't get one.
3) God tells us not to commit adultery, but yet society tells us divorce is normal. (If we let God choose our mates, divorce would not exist.) (Also we are to only be married again if said spouse is dead).
With all the problems in the world, tattoos should be the last of our worries
4) God tells us not to have piercings or tattoos, but our young children are being influenced by the likes of Lil Wayne and Wiz Khalifa, that they are cool.
Many, like myself, find the christian hate for gays to be offensive and unfair. Preach love for all... but with certain exceptions. Hypocrisy at its finest. People are what they are. If it doesn't affect you, you have no reason to impede on how others live their lives. (even if it is at odds with your mythical book of hate)
5) God is against homosexuality, but society has it that it's okay. As in times past people knew it was an issue, but now it's not.
Some people find it fascinating, or look to it for hope. it doesn't hurt anyone, so why not?
6) God tells us to not do astrology, but mainly everyone is into their signs and what have you.
Like Christmas and Easter?
7) God tells us to not celebrate pagan traditions, but yet TPTB spend millions on advertisement for these pagan traditions, so that people will celebrate them.
Worship of money and material things are silly, unfortunately we're all guilty of indulgence on occasion.
8) God tells us to not love the world or anything in it, yet society tells us that money and material gains are all the things we need in life, so people relentlessly run to worship material things and not God.
That's a modern phenomenon which I don't agree with.
9) Society tells teens that we should not give a hoot about anybody or what anyone else thinks and if they don't agree, kick them to the curve. If people have that attitude, there is no way that, they will come to the truth.
Do you own a TV? If so, you're part of the problem, not the solution. Science and history don't promote atheism, they teach "fact," something that scares many religiously minded people because it can be proven, unlike religion.
10) The media spends so much money on Television, that is focused heavily on how to live ungodly, while producing programs, such as the science channels (to get more people to follow atheism) and "Gospel" network's ( all TV evangelists are fake and want nothing more than money, despite God never asking for it).

Those same people who "followed" YHVH were the ones who flogged, mocked, beat, and crucified Jesus (YHVH in the flesh) 2000 years ago,
Just because a group of people is "following" God, does not mean they are following God

Well yes I understand – the insights of a bunch of people sat around a campfire telling stories to each other is probably more valid than say the insights of a bunch of other people with telescopes and satellites and computers and stuff – what was I thinking?
