America, The Babylon Of Modern Times?
By Grant Phillips
In Terry James’ article, “Rethinking Babylon the Great,” he gave us something to think about. This has been on my mind for some time, and I too wonder if we are not who Revelation eighteen is speaking. I am certainly not a scholar of prophecy, but I do have my own opinions.
I have heard great men of God explain why America (USA) cannot be the Babylon of Revelation, and their arguments are very sound. I respect what they say, but I am still bothered with questions that cannot be answered, at least for me. It appears more and more, that there has to be at least a possibility that America really is Babylon the Great of the modern world.
One question that has haunted me comes from Revelation 18:15. A long period of time would need to transpire in order for the “merchants” to be so engrained in doing business with Babylon and becoming so wealthy. I do not see this playing out in Iraq, but I do see it as already fulfilled in America (USA). America is the business hub of the world and has been for a long period of time. I personally believe that the Rapture is very close, and very little time will elapse between the Rapture and the start of Daniel’s 70th week (the Tribulation).
Another point that comes to mind is the gross immorality of Babylon the Great, and again, America is the leading provider of smut. Sexual deviancies that we would not even want to think about, let alone mention, are freely available in our society.
Another, the nations of the world all come together on a regular basis in one of our major cities, New York, called the United Nations. With open arms we have supported this corrupt organization and allowed its atrocities in our land.
The United States of America has been blessed more than any nation in history. I think God brought us together, miraculously by the way, to be a beacon to the world and ultimately to be a friend to the “apple of His eye,” Israel. During the Philadelphian church age, we were the missionary center of the world. We have provided technologies beyond human comprehension. We have wealth untold. “Easy street” has been provided to anyone who cares to stroll down its path, but then we “got too big for our britches.”
We are now a beacon to the world of the Laodicean church age. We’ve outgrown God, and are no longer a friend to Israel. We are a leader in porn, illegal drugs, crime, greed, theft, murder, abortion, and immorality of every sort. We started out as a beautiful smelling rose in the garden and are now nothing more than an obnoxious stinkweed.
Even worse, if it were possible, we have forsaken our Christian heritage overnight and embraced idolatry. It isn’t that we don’t believe in anything. We believe in everything, except God and anything associated with the one true God of the Bible. A love for God has quickly grown to a hatred for God and His people.
For America to have had the influence it has had over the years and been so blessed by God, and then turn from God to the ways of Satan in such a short time, there must be a greater judgment awaiting us. There may be some countries as bad or worse than we are, but they haven’t had the blessings from God we have enjoyed.
“And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.” (Luke 12:47-48)
When reading Revelation chapter eighteen, you could replace the word “Babylon” with “America” and not miss a step. Are we Babylon the Great? I don’t know, but I do think it is worth considering.

No, No, No!
The jew-nited Fraudulent Fascist states of TORTURE and MILITARY TERROR!!!!!!!!
With christo-KILLERS like the christo-FOOL who wrote this post insisting that “we christ0ids are “the good guys” and “god” loves us!
YOUR CUNTRY IS DOOMED because of FOOL christo-CREEPS like the christo-IDIOT that wrote this post!
May your god DAMN you all to “your” christo-HELL vision of pure male imagined bull CRAP!
Oh, and let’s look at the euro-MALE CHRISTO-killer RECORD OF war (mass murder), HERE, IN YOUR CUNTRY OF CHRISTO-Psycho-MASS MURDERERS!!!!!
Below, I have reproduced a year-by-year timeline of America’s wars, which reveals something quite interesting: since the United States was founded in 1776, she has been at war during 214 out of her 235 calendar years of existence.
In other words, there were only 21 calendar years in which the U.S. did not wage any wars.
To put this in perspective:
* Pick any year since 1776 and there is about a 91% chance that America was involved in some war during that calendar year.
* No U.S. president truly qualifies as a peacetime president. Instead, all U.S. presidents can technically be considered “war presidents.”
* The U.S. has never gone a decade without war.
* The only time the U.S. went five years without war (1935-40) was during the isolationist period of the Great Depression.
* * *
Here is the year-by-year timeline of America’s major wars:

In most of these wars, the U.S. was on the offense. Danios admits that some of the wars were defensive. However, Danios also leaves out covert CIA operations and other acts which could be considered war.
Let’s update what’s happened since 2011:
2012 – War on Terror in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Syria and Yemen
2013 – War on Terror in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Syria and Yemen
2014 – War on Terror in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Syria and Yemen; Civil War in Ukraine
2015 – War on Terror in Somalia, Somalia, Syria and Yemen; Civil War in Ukraine
So we can add 4 more years of war.
That means that for 222 out of 239 years – or 93% of the time – America has been at war. (We can quibble with the exact numbers, but the high percentage of time that America has been at war is clear and unmistakable.)
Indeed, most of the military operations launched since World War II have been launched by the U.S.
And American military spending dwarfs the rest of the world put together.
No wonder polls show that the world believes America is the number ONE threat to peace.
Because you “Believing” ameriiiSCUM are WAR MONGERS Galore!!!!)
And, your FOUL, VILE christo-CREED IS dying here in amerrriiiiSCUM, judeo-christo-TERRORIST PIGS!
!!!!!!!!
FADING AWAY!
SHUNNED BY Young adults!
Like the wicked witch of the West when hit with a pail of WATER (I’m fading away, I’m fading, I’m fading)!!!!!!
Face it dinosaur christ0ids of ameriiiSCUM, you are all LOSERS with one foot in the grave, already!
You are ALL irrelevant!
Fading away… interesting, Pew Research latest study, through interviews with 35,000 people (june through sept. 2014) -
“Study finds fewer Christians, more unaffiliated in US”..
What I see as significant in this, is that the most marked decline is among american youth.
“Fading away” seems absolutely right, so what is it that’s turning people away?

ANSWER:
The children are retaining their “Eternal Memories” longer.
They KNOW that “your” god DOES NOT EXIST where we live, always!
AND, SOON, they will openly LAUGH at the ranting and raving “christo-CREEPS” AROUND THEM!!!!
For they are NOT and do NOT “Repel god”, they ARE REJECTING YOUR LIES, christo-CREEPS!!!!!!!
And you cannot “force” this insane “belief” on them anymore, either!!!
The current educational system does NOT now have the legal means to; literally, BEAT the fear of “god” right into them, the children, with the old christo-god-TERRORIST “teaching” tactics of PURE BRAIN-WASH!
The children know, already, and if you do not remember what you really are, you have NO CHANCE AT ALL of escaping this Prison Planet of HELL!
Let’s start right at the point that you “self deceived humans” just can’t get by.
There is NOT one god.
THERE ARE TRILLIONS!
And YOU are one of them!
Now this is something to pursue..
In your view, is there a hierarchy among gods or are all equal? Was there an original creator or did all evolve from nothingness? OR.. has there never been “nothingness”..
Was there ever a beginning? Or is all actually cyclical..
Perhaps no beginning and no end? it would seem that all must be eternal – infinite past, infinite future.. meaning that time itself is the eternal cycle where “present” is the illusion and past/future/past/future, ad infinitum is the reality.
Memory then, is unlocked with the realization and the manifestation, of “future” as instantly becoming “past”, just as life and death are inseparable manifestations of being.
Could it be that states of “being and nothingness” actually are a false dichotomy..
What are your thoughts on this.. define your terms – Eternal Memories – has what I have considered and questioned fall in line with what you are saying?
Let’s start right at the point that you self deceived humans just can’t get by.
There is NOT one god.
THERE ARE TRILLIONS! And YOU are one of them!
Also, you existed BEFORE this Universe was formed BY US for our mutual entertainment, and you will exist after this Universe is LONG GONE!
Ignore the one-god believers, as well as what they write.
For they are nothing but your Earthly Prison Guards and their desperation is showing in the franticness of their written LUNATIC derision.
Their vile, lying christo-CREED is dying, and they will be punished severely for losing christo-Hypnotize control over you by their one-god MONSTER, who is not god, that they mindlessly serve as Slaves.
Can you feel their deep fear and desperation?
For, god is NOT light.
god is NOT love.
Do NOT respond to anything you might perceive that wants to lead you to the light at the moment of your body’s death this time.
Just turn around and LEAVE.
That is all you will have to do.
YOUR WILL IS god!
YOUR WILL BE DONE!
Not “god”, but YOUR WILL BE DONE!
All you have to do is exercise your own individual will.
LEAVE!
You do NOT have to stay here AT ALL.
Go any way, any direction, except to the Light.
And, YOU WILL BE FREE of this HELL HOLE designed to ENTRAP YOU HERE!
Any one can begin today to regain their own “Eternal Memory”.
You can start immediately to do this by de-calcifying your own Pineal gland.
It is your own “Spiritual Connection” to yourself in our eternal home.
Even the ancients were NOT as ignorant about this fact as you so called “Moderns” are now.
For IT IS “the seat of the soul”!
This “One god” consciousness stuff is like “Pushing Communist MALE Tyranny” for eternity!
So, you “speculate” that there is NO individualism in the “mass perceived” world of the “metaphysical”?
ALL ONE-god believers, YOU are the problem!
The reality is there are trillions upon trillions of “gods” where we reside, always.
Not one, but trillions, each with their own, distinct “personality”.
Christians, Jews, Muslims, you are one of the trapped “Eternal Memory” stripped “gods”!
Your thoughts control your DNA because “your” thoughts do NOT originate here.
Before this universe was “formed’ and used, by us, we existed.
That “internal voice” is NOT “god”, is not, universal conscious, it is YOU, always residing in our eternal “home”.
Your “Eternal Memory” speaks to you from our home regularly. Some call it “god’s voice”. Some call it the “Sub-conscious”. What it really is……. is YOU, with your trillion upon trillions of “years” of “Eternal Memories”. No wonder that all are “that smart’! You have existed before the dawn of time here, in this physical universe.
“Here” is an “amusement park” for the trillions upon trillions of pure energy form self-aware sentinel beings, the gods, (US) that have existed since before the beginning of time itself, here, in this physical universe.
We do NOT reside “here” at all!
Never have, never will.
We exist in a “formless, timeless” void.
We have NO physical body of any type.
NO sight, no hearing, no touch, no body, no “reproduction”, no sensation, NO LIGHT to “see” with, none of what you “believe” will be “permanent” in any imagined after life.
We identify one another by the unique “wave-length”, “osculation”, or “vibration” that our “self aware life form” exists at.
We are “Pure formless energy” “Vibrating” at different and specific wave lengths for all of eternity.
NOTHING can cause us any “pain” or “harm” or “destroy” us in ANY WAY!
All of the above (sight, sound, light, time, etc.), and much more is why we come “here”.
We experience none of the sensations and experiences gained “here” in our eternal pure energy form and home.
All “roles” are played “here” by all who come “here”.
Anything we “think” here becomes a part of this physical reality.
We should be able to go from “Life form” to “Life form” “here” at our will.
That is how we designed this universe to be, and it still is.
But, that damn “Light” present at the moment of bodily “death” is such a magnet for most (complete with “overwhelming sense of “love”, with fresh human memories materialized, and waiting to greet you to “bring you to the light, to “love”) is a “high voltage bug like zapper, that STRIPS you completely of all eternal memories, which includes the “life” that you just departed from.
NO one from our eternal “home” EVER has to incorporate into a Human body, or, if they have, come back here, EVER!
It simply does not matter.
NO loyalty should be extended to the “Ride Car” (“your” physical body here) used here.
Are you “Loyal” to the Ride Car that takes you around the track at “Magic Mountain”, located within Disney Land?
Do you “pine” for the vehicle that you used when here, and now is waiting for someone else from our real realm to “occupy” it??
If you do “regain” your “Eternal Memories”, you will see immediately and agree.
Remember the Universal Physical Law of this particular Universe.
NOTHING TOUCHES HERE.
Even the individual atoms making up all molecules, and molecules making up all objects, whether solid, liquid, or gaseous, are effected by this PHYSICAL LAW.
The atom itself is made up of parts that NEVER touch. Proton, Neutron, electron, all are sub atomic particles that DO NOT TOUCH one another, and are “held together “by Strong Force.
Here is very temporal. Easily constructed and then “reassembled’ in the blink of an eye.
Every atom of everything constructed here is always blinking “out’ of existence, and then back into existence, simultaneously.
Physics, and its very exacting mathematical “proofs” of this reality, confirms this fact.
Meet two newly discovered “particles’. The two new particles are named Xib’- and Xib*- (pronounced “zi-b-prime” and “zi-b-star”). Both Xib-and Xib*- are a type of particle called a baryon.
Baryons include familiar particles like protons and neutrons, which are held together by strong force.
(The other fundamental forces in the universe are gravity, electromagnetism, and weak force. Strong force holds particles together; weak force makes particles decay.)
Scientists understand the basic theory of strong force, and they can use the theory to estimate the sizes and masses of different baryons.
But the mathematical equations behind strong force are incredibly complex.
That’s because the particles they apply to have some wacky characteristics.
Part of a baryon’s mass can “spontaneously” burst “into and out of” existence.
This weird flux makes it difficult to use strong force to predict their mass.
Part of every atom that makes up our bodies “can “spontaneously” burst “into and out of” existence.
“WE” are NOT “here”.
WE project here, into these “bodies” from our common ‘Eternal Home”.
The Human Brain is a Bio-mechanical ‘receiver” and can funnel tremendous power directly from our real “selves”, containing all of our individually gained ‘Eternal Memories”.
We CAN move from “body to body”.
We CAN discontinue “Projecting” here from OUR common eternal home, any time we want.
Please consider these thoughts on “consciousness”.
Extra Questions for the Brain-Washed One-god believers, any flavor.
Where were you BEFORE you were ‘born” into your current “Ride Car” of a body???
Were you “self-conscious” then?????
Why can’t you remember that part of your Eternal Existence?
Why does your one god demand your prayers?
Why do you think that ‘something’ would ‘take credit, for say, a tidal wave
that kills over 250,000 on 3 continents and numerous islands?
You think there was some ‘divine planning’ in that that any rational, thinking
entity called one-god would ‘take credit for”?
Why did your one-god jesus sit next to a demon, evil incarnate, and listen to a
sales pitch?
Why did your one-god jesus let that pure evil walk away to continue to torment all of you?
Why do you worship this insane, demonic personality of one-god?
Almost all of you have a Eternal Memory problem.
A big Eternal Memory problem that causes all of your problems HERE, in HELL on earth.
You have all forgotten the purpose of HERE, this Universe, and why HERE was created by US.

“Sweet Leaf”
ALRIGHT NOW!
Won’t you listen?
When I first met you, didn’t realize
I can’t forget you, for your surprise
you introduced me, to my mind
And left me wanting, you and your kind
I love you, Oh you know it
My life was empty, forever on a down
Until you took me, showed me around
My life is free now, my life is clear
I love you sweet leaf, though you can’t hear
Come on now, try it out
Straight people don’t know, what you’re about
They put you down and shut you out
you gave to me a new belief
and soon the world will love you sweet leaf

The Reign Of Antichrist
https://archive.org/details/TheReignOfAntichrist
When the towers fell in that great city, that was a sign of babylon’s fall. It’s just beginning.
You are correct… America is the Mystery Babylon, of this I am most certain.
I use to train new student drivers in driving 18 wheelers coast to coast. On a Friday in Fontana, Ca. in 1998 I was seated in my tractor when I looked up from my logbook to see a young man walking through a gate entering the yard…. The Holy Spirit whispered in my left ear saying, “Ask him if he is a Christian man!” I repeated this and the Holy Spirit again whispered this in my left ear. As this young man walked up to my door I rolled down my window and asked, “Can I help you?” He introduced himself as Dale Ferrari and asked if I were ____ and I said yes… He then said he was my next student.
I said, “Dale, come around to the right side and climb in, I have something to ask you.” I asked Dale if he was a Christian man. Startled, he confirmed he was and asked why I would ask that. I told him about the Holy Spirit whispering in my left ear.. Dale then tells me that three days before coming to our school in Rialto he had an out of body experience of the Rapture. I told Dale I believed this was the first confirmation to a prayer that I had been asking God for…
Three weeks later in New Jersey Dale wakes up screaming we hath to read Rev. 18… After reading this chapter Dale poking on his Bible and screaming, “Babylon, the leader of the world will be destroyed, in one hour, in one night it will split the midnight hour from the East to the West….. And this is God’s guaranteed WORD.” At that precise moment there was a crash we jumped to look out the windshield of the tractor and see a trailer with three letters maybe 7 or 8′ high and three words… G.O.D. Guaranteed Overnight Delivery. This I believe was the second confirmation to my prayer… We are nearly at the end of the Age of Grace. America is the Mystery Babylon and she will receive her just due for her embracement of the abominations of homosexuality, abortion and the rejection of God’s Holy WORD.

Neither Pres. Obama nor all of America’s Armed Forces can save this nation or anyone of us, but Yeshua is the only one that can save the born again Christian…
America is New Babylon for sure. Most of the inhabitants don’t care, though.
The 70 weeks on Daniel ended in 34 A.D. when Stephen was stoned by he Jews.
America is the second beast and false prophet.
Rome /the Papacy is fallen Babylon and the antichrist.
Simple Math ~ The Slim Map ~ I’m the Palms
Though I see no evidence for a pre-tribulation rapture, I agree that America is the Bible’s “Mystery Babylon” – and Obama is its Bible-mocking, Iran-loving, Israel-hating leader. All the evidence points to his identity being fully revealed to the entire world in June 2016. If interested, read – Antichrist 2016-2019: Mystery Babylon, Barack Obama & the Islamic Caliphate – http://www.amazon.com/Antichrist-2016-2019-Mystery-Babylon-Caliphate/dp/1501025392
Babylon the Great, as referred to in Revelation to John, is not America. It refers to one who fornicates with governments, and originates with Babylon the city of Biblical times. It is religions. All religions claiming to be Christian actually. All such religions bless troops, battles, equipment of war and so on. Scripturally speaking, that is forbidden. They even have always had pastors in the service. Babylon the Great is the world empire of false religion. Since all such religions have elements of Babylonish pagan practices and beliefs, rituals and images, they are actually pagan, but almost none of their membership is aware of it, it’s been going on for so long. Take the cross for example. It has always been a pagan symbol. More specifically, it is the symbol for Tammuz, a pagan god. The tau. The original texts from which the scriptures are translated, specifically, the new testament, have mistranslated the word for the instrument of Jesus’ death. The Greek word is stauros, which, in the classic Greek Koine, is stake or pole, not cross. Jesus was killed on the torture stake, the most common form of execution in Rome at the time. Wearing a cross, using a cross, and having a cross in or on a church is a PAGAN symbol for Tammuz.
Mike Savage
your right also the word babylon means confusion and when the antichrist shows up everyone will be confused thinking he is Christ. Anti in the Greek means instead of. satan comes at the 6th trump, Christ comes at the 7th
Savage….You concentrate on all the many little details concerning salvation, and whatever religious traditions you have, and come of as judgmental, small minded, and petulant…..You’re trying to start your own religious sect, aren’t you?
What bizarre brain fart caused you to come up with that very strange conclusion? My own sect? Are you insane? Galations 5:19-21 says ALL SECTS are “works of the flesh”. Revelation says they’ll be destroyed along with their participants. You may want to be destroyed, but I don’t. I am part of NO religion created by man. I adhere strictly to what the scriptures say and teach. It appears, based on your comment, that you adhere strictly what false religion teaches, and ignore what God says. Why would any intelligent person do such a stupid thing? Why would anyone think that the details of God’s inspired word aren’t important? That in itself is insane.
GREAT SCOTT!!!
Savage just gave us chapter and verse in support of his claim!!!
Now, he spelled Galatians wrong, and the verses he cited actually do nothing to verify his argument, but progress is progress and we can’t have everything now, can we.
Walter, you completely un-humble and ignorant person. Galations 5:19-21 lists the works of the flesh, and included are SECTS. Meaning sects of Christianity. Sects of Christianity ARE WORKS OF THE FLESH. Involvement in any sect prevents one from being included in the Kingdom of the heavens. It causes one to be destined for the second death. Total and permanent destruction. You therefore, must be blind, cannot read, or you cannot understand what you read.
Upon further review, Savage has a rickety reed to lean on. The word ‘sects’ is found in both the Douay Rheims and the Young’s Literal Translation. (One assumes we’ll find it also in the New World Order Translation of the JW’s.)
The word is NOT found in the King James Version, American Standard Version, Bible in Basic English, Darby’s English Translation, Noah Webster Bible or the World English Bible.
So we go to the Greek. The word translated as ‘sects’ in the Douay and the Young’s is the Greek word:
HAIRESIS
G139 αἵρεσις hairesis (hah’ee-res-is)
From G138; properly a choice, that is, (specifically) a party or (abstractly) disunion. (“HERESY” is the Greek word itself.)
(Greek word definition source: Strong’s Concordance)
HERESY (plural heresies):
1.(religion) A doctrine held by a member of a religion at variance with established religious beliefs, especially dissension from Roman Catholic dogma.
2.A controversial or unorthodox opinion held by a member of a group, as in politics, philosophy or science.
SECT (plural sects):
1.An offshoot of a larger religion; a group sharing particular (often unorthodox) political and/or religious beliefs. A religious sect.
2.A group following a specific ideal or a leader.
(English word definition source: Wiktionary)
So is a ‘heresy’ the same thing as a ‘sect’?
I say no.
But some of the translators thought yes.
You can have that one Savage. WALTER hereby retracts that portion of his commentary about your habits.
Walter, αἵρεσις translates to sects only in the context and in the Classic Koine Greek. You are, once again, WRONG.
HARESIS translates to heresies, Savage. Context be damned. It is possible to read the concept of ‘sect’ into the word, but it is not the word in-and-of itself.
Any fool with eyes should be able to see that.
You’re doing the same thing the pre-trib rapture enthusiasts do when they insist the Greek word APOSTASIA should be understood as identical with the Greek word HARPAZO. That is a preposterous assertion.
Whether or not a heresy can sometimes be considered a sect, a heresy is not always a sect. Therefore, the two words have different meanings.
Walter, in the modern Greek used today, αἵρεσις does mean heresy, but in the Koine used in Jesus’ day it does mean sects. You’re using Google translate or equivalent, and it doesn’t translate the Koine Classic Greek of two thousand years ago. Still you persist in being wrong. Why?
Actually, Savage…
Google Translate agrees with you.
I have already given you my sources. And I have already, more or less, conceded that the point wasn’t worth bickering about, on account of the fact that there are a couple of translations that agree with you.
But the overwhelming majority is against you. In this particular instance, I side with the majority.
I do not believe heresies and sects are synonymous.
If that’s not enough of a concession for you – too bad.
But you have my accolades for citing Scripture. (A habit you should seek to cultivate.)
So, Walter, why do you persist in mistranslating the Koine Greek word for sect? It is from God that sects are works of the flesh, and from His son that he, Jesus, hates sects. It is from God, through Jesus and an angel that John, while imprisoned, wrote that religions created by man are to be destroyed along with their participants. Mistranslating a word will not change that fact. Misleading others will only put their blood on your hands. Involvement with sects results in destruction in the final battle, if not in the tribulation. Having your “ears tickled” with falsehoods won’t save anyone, including you. Telling them it’s ok to involve themselves in false religion is completely contrary to the will of God. Changing words in the scriptures, as the scriptures clearly say, makes one an “enemy of God”. It seems that’s your goal. Or is it that you are so very haughty that admitting you made a mistake is something you couldn’t possibly get yourself to do? We are all human, therefore inferior and imperfect, and all make mistakes. You’re no exception. Of course, you will turn that statement around and try to use it against me. I understand that, it’s how you operate. I, however, prefer to interact with honest people, and you aren’t honest.
I’ll resist my urge to begin calling you names at this point, Savage. Is this getting old yet? Regarding this topic, this will be my final reply to you. (Unless you say something utterly outrageous in any response you potentially publish, as you sometimes do.)
“…why do you persist in mistranslating the Koine Greek word for sect? “
Savage, if αἵρεσις (hairesis) is the Greek word for sect, then what is the Greek word for HERESY?
“It is from God that sects are works of the flesh, and from His son that he, Jesus, hates sects.”
This, from a Jehovah’s Witness. Anything you say will be used against you in His Court, Savage.
“Misleading others will only put their blood on your hands.”
Which others have I misled? Anyone who listens to me is a fool. Twice the fool are they for listening to you. I suggest nothing ever but that everyone seek to the Word for guidance, and to no other source.
“Changing words in the scriptures, as the scriptures clearly say, makes one an “enemy of God”. It seems that’s your goal.”
See above for the majority vote in this case. The translators almost unanimously stand against you on this point. Lucky for you though, you have the Catholics on your side.
“Or is it that you are so very haughty that admitting you made a mistake is something you couldn’t possibly get yourself to do?”
This, from a fella who mistook Abraham for Moses, and rather than admit his error, he lied and said: “I meant to do that. I was trying to trap you.” You broke two commandments in the same breath when you did that. Don’t lecture me, hypocrite.
“We are all human, therefore inferior and imperfect, and all make mistakes.”
No, Savage. I make mistakes. You previously have said that YOU do not make mistakes.
“You’re no exception.”
Something we agree on.
“Of course, you will turn that statement around and try to use it against me.”
Everything you say is used against you, as it should be, because you are an inherently dishonest man.
“I, however, prefer to interact with honest people, and you aren’t honest.”
I am a dishonest man. That’s why I’m so fortunate to have an honest Savior who will teach me to be honest like He is.
Heresy [Greek αἵρεσις]
In the original Greek, αἵρεσις [hairesis] meant “party” or “sect” and did not imply any disparagement.[i] It is not an innately negative word, but …
http://www.antiquorumetpraesentis.com/…/word-of-the-day-heresy-greek-αἵρεσις/
The word “heresy” comes from the Greek αἵρεσις, hairesis (from αιρεομαι, haireomai, “choose”), which means either a choice of beliefs or a faction of dissident believers. It was given wide currency by Irenaeus of Lyons in his tract The Detection and Refutation of False Knowledge (commonly known by the title of the Latin translation, Contra Haereses (Against Heresies) to describe and discredit his opponents in the early Christian Church. He described his own position as orthodox (from ortho- “right” + doxa “glory” or “belief”).
The word sect is a literal translation of the original Greek term for the concept, hairesis (αἵρεσις), which was used to refer to a philosophical “school” or a religious “sect”. It implies the notion of a group or faction of people who adhere to a specific doctrine.
I said OUTRAGEOUS. I would not respond unless you said something outrageous.
Here’s what you did. You lied by omission. You didn’t include a source for your reference material. Not to worry, Savage. I’ll do it for you.
Your uncited, uncredited reference:
“The word sect is a literal translation of the original Greek term for the concept, hairesis (αἵρεσις), which was used to refer to a philosophical “school” or a religious “sect”. It implies the notion of a group or faction of people who adhere to a specific doctrine.”
And now the source:
THE ASTROLOGY DICTIONARY
An online dictionary for definitions of terms and concepts used in astrology
http://theastrologydictionary.com/s/sect/
(I couldn’t have made this up if I tried. Why do you continuously do these things to yourself? Beyond discredited.)
Walter, lying won’t change what God said to us. It won’t change His requirements for us either. He said sects are works of the flesh, and no amount of b.s.ing and lying will change that fact. The choice is yours as to whether to do His will or not, but lying won’t change what His will IS. Failing to do His will, ALL OF IT, means destruction in the tribulation and or final battle, which is soon upon us. Choose to live, or choose to die. You do also remember that lying prevents one from experiencing the Kingdom of the heavens I hope.
Savage….You have a definite EGO problem. Your theosophy is a complicated and chaotic mish-mash of religious and philosophical detritus.
You can’t understand what you are reading in the scriptures, so you concentrate your efforts on the ways you THINK you need to abide by all the statutes, like some kind of old testament lawyer. open your eyes. The truth is there waiting for you to discover, and get some peace within yourself.
You can’t follow your own ideas, to fruition….nobody could. The real picture is simple and easy to understand. “For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten son, that WHOSOEVER believeth on Him shall have everlasting life.” all the rest of your “religion” is moot.
The only reason you spout all your “tradition”, your statutes and regulation, is because you still have not found your peace within the Spirit. Your entire theosophy is part and parcel of your own spiritual insecurities…..and YOU did create it just the way it is.
Maxxy;
You are either delusional or you are part of false religion. Either way, what you say is worth nothing more than ignoring it.
Your claim that what the scriptures say is “mish mash” and “detritis” I am sure is nothing less than completely abhorrent to God the Almighty. I suppose you know your fate then.
Savage,
Let’s keep dragging this out into even plainer view, so that you are left with no excuse. Here then, is yet another stunning example of your towering pride.
Maximus wrote:
“YOUR theosophy is a complicated and chaotic mish-mash…”
And here is how you respond:
“Your claim that what THE SCRIPTURES SAY is “mish mash” and…”
Therefore, not only are you lying when you misquote Max, but you clearly cannot distinguish between YOUR words and the Words of Scripture. But the two almost never agree.
This is precisely the kind of act by you which I indicated above when I reminded you that in the past, you have repeatedly made the claim that you are beyond error – that you do not make mistakes.
You are the only one reading these words, Savage, who cannot or will not see the plain truth of this matter for what it is.
Your arrogance is beyond staggering. I strongly suspect that mental illness plays no small part in your world view, and I am not being gratuitously unkind when I say so. I mean it sincerely.
It is you who lies, Savage, and you’ve been caught at it more than once. Many remember the silliness when you stupidly argued for Moses, instead of Abraham, being commanded to sacrifice his first born, Isaac.
It is you who lies by omission by attempting to hold a dictionary of Astrology over The Word instead of the wealth of concordances that, in the main, don’t support your argument.
Now you seem to be saying that “heresy” and “sect” mean the same thing. Well they’d have to given they share common Greek origins, wouldn’t they? You JW’s are, generally, just the nicest folk which you’re quick to demonstrate when anyone disagrees with ya’ll.
Mayhem;
Your filthy lying and disparaging to God comments aren’t really worth replying to, much the same as Walter’s comments. You two brothers?
Given that action speaks louder than words would it not have been better to give me a damn good ignoring rather than pout and whine about how i’m not worth replying to?
Thanks for taking the time to reply and tell me that it isn’t worth your time to reply
Mayhem, it is you who joins the liars on this blog, not me. I have never lied on this or any other blog, and I siimply don’t lie ever. Lying is abhorrent to God, and I choose to never displease Him. I wish you would take the same stance, instead of the opposite stance that you display constantly.
Emery quote of the day: “I siimply don’t lie ever”
I’m glad someone else remembers Emery using those exact words…..and I do believe there is a verse that says if someone says they do not sin…then they are lying and the truth is not in them. 1 John 1:8
@ lordofCannabis
“you existed BEFORE this Universe was formed BY US for our mutual entertainment, and you will exist after this Universe is LONG GONE”
what a horrible fancy of godliness –
thinking the world around you to be only some better version of a computer game for entertainment…
where then is anything SERIOUS in this world? nowhere, you seem to think.
Poor chap. You seem to never have experienced a deeper kind of happiness than just “fun”.
Real happiness or joy is not like fun. It is absolutely unlike to what you feel at laughing about a joke, at drinking a sip of tequila, or at anonymously grasping round a nice girl´s waist. It is as serious as Death. One who really knows it, would die for it. That is why those who still know it are to-day found in masses among those who listen to Hard Rock music that sings about fight and death. this happiness is found only in taking something for serious, by being loyal, by believing, giving, offering, sacrificing, adoring. Bible says about this: “Love is strong as Death.”
No wonder that your next central idea reads:
“God is not light, God is not love”
For, there is no light or love in the realm of shallow fun and mere entertainment. It is no wonder to me, too, that one of the images of Devil most-well known to-day is that of a malicious Clown.
your next central idea is that there is no God´s will, only one´s own will and that following one´s own will is following God´s will: Do What You Will.
This is wrong and correct at the same time – according to the point of view from which you read it.
If you read it from the view of superficiality that you take, it is mere idiocy. Kindergarten.
But if you read it from a view of seriousness and responsibility
- and the latter can only exist where there is something higher than oneself to be responsible to! –
it is right.
Then it means that one has to be obedient to one´s own Inner Light (also called one´s True Self or True Will) which sometimes conveys to one´s mortal everyday-life mind a glimpse of what God´s Will may be for your life, i.e. what your task in this incarnation may be.
Native Americans are said to have lived according to this view, before the Whites came and confused their minds by selling alcohol and bad “Christian” theology to them.
LordOfCannabis, if it is Cannabis that gives you your ideas, you don´t delve deep enough.
You still swim in shallow muddy waters.
You better go to India, where the Herb originates from –
but not just to smoke better grass than at home, but rather to learn to sing Bhajan to God.
The happiness that stems from admiration (devotion, Bhakti) for God, or an aspect of God (i.e. a Deity), and which one can easily feel by singing God´s Praise, is the deep happiness I described.
Your Herb can help you to develop it – but only if you have the True Will to do so.
If there is no inner drive toward that direction inside you,
you´d better leave the Holy Herb alone
(for it could turn you into a madman)
and return to Beer.
My! Your comment is full of assumption, as though you believe you are in the head of Lord of Cannabis. THAT is a “titanic” feat by which, it seems to me, you failed. No one has ever succeeded in such a venture.
Babylon.
I see a corruption of what is given, in your response. You read, but you do not apprehend. If you call that which you are sitting upon, a chair, you deny it’s existence. Do you know what that means? Action over Object.
Let’s “entertain” what is written.. not what is presumed by you. btw, the name given is Lord of Cannabis, not Dependent on Weed.
You speak of the “exotic”.. Yet you do not even understand what you responded to. Now, I would never speak for the one behind the words written, so don’t assume that I’m attempting to explain Lord of Cannabis’ position. But, I will call you out on your comment..
heh, Out.
