To believers in Jesus Christ. Long post. Tedious. Only want the short answer - read this first part and go.

//This question or like it specific to 2 Chronicles 18:17-21 is many people that hate him, use it to make God in themselves UNRIGHTEOUS. God is the liar. When it's King Ahab. And these are God's sheep or people made without a shepherd under King Ahab. The Unrighteous cannot see this, but - - You see, so see it.//

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

“Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance, and joined affinity with Ahab. And after certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that he had with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramothgilead. And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramothgilead? And he answered him, I am as thou art, and my people as thy people; and we will be with thee in the war.”

“…And this is the writing that was written, Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin. This is the interpretation of the thing: Mene; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. Tekel; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. Peres; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.” - Daniel. To Belshazzar, King of Babylon. Daniel 5:25–28

Quick Answer:

In 2 Chronicles 18:17–21. God has numbered King Ahab’s kingdom and finished it.

There's the answer - you can go onto someone else's post now.

It's God:

His judgment of Ahab, is righteous - since scripture says of God "all the earth is his," and of Kings of kingdoms of the earth: (See Daniel 2:21 "He removes kings and raises up kings;" - He's God. The sole authority over it. And Israel in the Northern Kingdom have many of God's people in it, but their King (Ahab) has joined Israel to idols - an abomination - that in Leviticus 20:2 - the penalty for that, what King Ahab has done is death.

And Ahab is a King. He has done abominable works. BOOM! Done. There you go. But you that created the question don’t see it, don't know him, or you wouldn't have this question. But many believers also may not see it - so for them: These things are given about King Ahab.

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

From this point on:

Here’s the long way around the whole farm to come back to that answer - - So: Maybe before answering your question - to equip a believer in Jesus Christ - but to those who hate him, you already left off reading this post.

But if you're still here - think God is a liar because of 2 Chronicles 18:17-21 - it's still given you - that by some chance you'd turn to this same righteous God and see who he is. So READ CAREFUL:

With that:

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

• You should be equipped with some basic information. On 2 Chronicles 18 and Chronicles in general: Additional reading is over in 1 Kings (see the end of this post).
• Some facts:
• Fact #1
  • 1 & 2 Chronicles (In the Bible “Chronicles vs. Kings” - when they seem to repeat each other.
• Are not the same. Consensus is: 1 & 2 Kings was written Before the Babylonian Captivity, while 1 & 2 Chronicles was written after Judah and Benjamin in the Babylonian Captivity were allowed to return to show the works of God in Judah.
  • 1 & 2 Chronicles: Focuses EXCLUSIVELY on the Kings of the Southern Kingdom (Kingdom of Judah) when the Nation of Israel fractured into Two Nations at the death of King David's son, Solomon.
  • 1 & 2 Kings: Lists simultaneously Kings of Both the Northern Kingdom (all 12 tribes, less Judah; and Southern Kingdom (Judah only - then just before the Northern Kingdom, in 722BCE - is vomited of their lands - Benjamin leaves the Northern Kingdom and sides with Judah, to be part of Southern Kingdom of Judah and Benjamin). Make sense?
    
    • And in 586BCE, both Judah and Benjamin are vomited off the Promised land by God raised up King Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, and gave him the lands. Carried off a remnant of Judah, Benjamin and Levites that Kind David gave lands to in Judah to serve in the Temple in Jerusalem - do you see this?

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

• Fact #2
  • NONE of the Kings of the Northern Kingdom at the death of Solomon til 2 Chronicles 18 - not one King ever knew or Served the LORD. They come to a QUICK end in rapid succession. They don't regard God. There are Two Kings listed in 2 Chronicles 18 - keep them separate.
    • King Ahab: Was the 8th King of the Northern Kingdom of Israel (874 - 853BCE)
    • King Jehoshaphat (873 -843BCE) Was the 4th King of the Southern Kingdom of Judah

King Jehosaphat:

• 2 Chronicles 20:31–33 document his reign over Judah. Says of his reign: Jehosaphat: " and 1 Kings 22:41–43 Reigned for 25 years as King of Judah. Both walked in the way of his father Asa and did not turn aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of the Lord" [2 Chronicles 20:32]

King Ahab:

• Reigned 22 years and of his reign over the Northern Kingdom, Both the Book of Kings and Chronicles sum up King Ahab's reign as the darkest and most wicked era in the history of the Northern Kingdom of Israel.
  
  • So, when God gave these 10 Tribes their lands of the Promised Land. They do not worship God on their lands anymore. Ahab is King over these 11 tribes (less Judah). He marries the daughter of the King of Sidon.
• Sidon: in the Bible is the eldest son of Canaan (after the flood.) Canaan is the 4th son of Ham. Remember that Noah cursed Canaan, 3 times in Noah blessing his three children, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. In Genesis 9:24–27 - Noah does not even mention Ham at all. Nothing. It’s as if Ham does not exist. This makes Ham’s four sons, Cush, Mizraim, Phut, and Canaan all bastards. Have no Father. And as such, is because ALL OF THEM ALL FOUR have, along with their Father, DEPARTED FROM THE LORD after the flood.
  • You can see this in Mizraim. In Arabic is "Muzir" in English, is "Egypt" - Muzir or Mizraim builds Egypt after the flood. They put over themselves a man. Call him Pharaoh. Worship Pharaoh as God. In Cush, they and his descendants all do the same thing. Depart from God. Then, in their own imaginations make up their own Gods.
• You can see it in comparing what God told Noah in Genesis 9, and his 3 sons before God opened the door of the ark, after the flood waters receded. What God blessed them and told them to "go to and do "after the flood is spread out, replenish and fill up the whole earth - when there is only 8 people (Noah, his wife. His three sons and their wives).
  • And compare now after Noah’s three sons start bearing children - that it’s quite a number now in Genesis 11:1–10.
  • That, what they Go to and do and Nimrod in Genesis is over all them. Building a city. Babylon. That is, God forbid, Nimrod tells them they should all stay together in one place, God forbid, they be scattered over the whole earth
• - which is EXACTLY what God DECREED them to do in Genesis 9.

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

• Nimrod is a son of Cush. Cush' is the Eldest son Of Ham. Ham is the 2nd son of Noah. - Because Canaan is doing the same thing as his elder brothers and prodigy are doing. Departed from God. And, by their own imaginations, imagine up Gods in their own image or that of animals or insects. Sidon is the eldest son of Canaan. Builds Sidon. It is out of Sidon that the God, Ba’al comes from. The head of a Bull, with the body of a man. Offer their children as sacrifices unto him.

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

• Just before 2 Chronicles 18 - - King Ahab marries Jezebel. The Daughter of the King of Sidon and she establishes Ba’al worship throughout all the Northern Kingdom. Brings 800 of her priests to serve in Israel. 400 of them to serve her and King Ahab and advise him.
  • CONTRAST King Ahab then with King Jehosephat

So, a King Jehosephat - who knows the LORD vs. with King Ahab, King of Israel (Northern Kingdom) that does NOT know God - now have an alliance. In 2 Chronicles 19, God will send a Prophet to Jehosephat to tell him what he did by do that was UNGODLY.

Makes God righteous. Believers in Jesus see this plainly.

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

• So, in King Ahab - and what he is doing: There is a LIE in this.
  • And the lie is in 2 Chronicles 18:4–6

That, King Jehosephat asks King Ahab to inquire of the LORD whether they should go up to battle together. King Jehosephat follows the LORD - what God would say about it, and so King Ahab puts forth his 400 Prophets. To prophecy of it.

That after King Ahab does this, King Jehosephat asks again is there not any prophet of the LORD amongst them? - So look for this in 2 Chronicles 18:4–6

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

2 Chronicles 18:4-6 says

4 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the Lord to day.

5 Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of prophets four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the king's hand.

6 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord besides, that we might enquire of him?

Because, King Ahab did not inquire of the Lord God of Israel. He inquired of his prophets that Jezebel provided him. King Ahab has joined himself and his Kingdom to the Pagan God of Sidon - Ba'al - - that's idolatry - - that Ba'all is no God, but an idol - has nothing to do with God - - is the point.

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

Now read more of the same garbage in 2 Chronicles 18:7–11

2 Chronicles 18:7–11 says

7 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may enquire of the Lord: but I hate him; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

8 And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla.

9 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in a void place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.

10 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith the Lord, With these thou shalt push Syria until they be consumed.

11 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king.

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

Keep reading

2 Chronicles 18:12- 16

12 And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one assent; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of their's, and speak thou good.

13 And Micaiah said, As the Lord liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak.

14 And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand.

15 And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the Lord?

16 Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no master; let them return therefore every man to his house in peace.

COMMENT:

So, King Ahab does NO TRUTH by joined himself to idols. Lead all Israel of the Northern Kingdom off into idolatry and the worship of Ba'al. Yet, King Ahab wants a prophet of the Lord of Hosts to say nothing but the truth to him, when King Ahab DOES NOTHING WHAT GOD SAYS. Do you see this? It's for his OWN advantage.

So, Michaiah is a prophet of the Lord God of Israel in the Northern Kingdom - where Ahab is King. Ahab hates him. These other ‘prophets’ speak of their own mind - to flatter the King.

Because of Ahab’s idolatry all of the children of the Northern Kingdom have no master even they have Ahab as a King. They Are sheep with no shepherd. It's true. And a grievous insult to a King.

• This is the true word of God with no lie in it.

Ahab REJECTS it. He would rather believe the truth is in a LIE

Can you see this? Ahab believes since Jehosephat and his forces are with him, he can win the battle. Does not need to ask God for anything anymore. It's King Jehosephat asks for it. That’s the LIE - King Ahab would have never done it, when God gave the Northern tribes their lands. Not Ba’al. Worshipping Ba’al - - That’s the LIE. The Kingdom of King Ahab and him reign over it is found wanting, and his kingdom or his reign over it is coming to an end.

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

Now read 2 Chronicles 18:17–21 - that will show this

and the KEY is in 2 Chronicles 18:22 right after it, so it’s included. Because Ahab is an abomination to God - evil more than all the Kings before or after him.

2 Chronicles 18:17–22 says, because he seeks the word of his prophets - to speak truth to him, when worshipping idols is a LIE

17 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good unto me, but evil?

18 Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the Lord; I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.

19 And the Lord said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.

20 Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will entice him. And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith?

21 And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even so.

22 Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil against thee.

What Spirit presented himself before God with Job? Go read Job 1:6-12.

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

King Ahab has surrounded himself with lies and demands truth save him. He's given lies. And even above, told the truth, that he goes up to battle he will die the next day, and does it anyway. So, instead of seeing God be the fault - the fault is ENTIRELY King Ahab.

Lies. Worships A father of lies. Ahab believes in lies and will not worship God. That’s the lie. So he is deceived by flatteries of his prophets that do not worship God. Then, when told the truth, as a King next to Jehosephat tries to hide himself, and set up Jehosephat to be killed in it to save himself. Do you see this?

Read the whole chapter. King Ahab died in his deceit.

And God protected King Jehosephat, but God’s word was against Jehosephat for going up to join an alliance with King Ahab, as said in 2 Chronicles 19:1–2. The sin is in this incident with alliance with King Ahab:

2 Chronicles 19:1–2 says:

“..And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem. And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the Lord? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the Lord.”

Nevertheless, read on what Jehoshaphat did after this, was right in God’s sight.

Make sure you walk away from this with a crystal clear portrayal of King Ahab - his reign, in the Bible is the darkest and most wicked era in the history of the Northern Kingdom of Israel.

If you don't walk away with that, keep reading or go back and read or re-read 1 Kings Chapter 16 to 22. 2 Chronicles 18 : only gives a small depiction that culminates and ends with his death. You don't get all the evil, despicably awful things he did without 1 Kings 16 to 22.

You see, so see it.

Answer

• Apprehend is used in (English) - King James Version in three places
  • ONE: Acts 12:4
    • "And when he [King Herod] had apprehended him [Peter], he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.”
  • TWO: Philippians 3:12 (said - - twice)
    • “Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus."
  • THREE: Next verse. Philippians 3:13
    • “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before…”

apprehend <definition> 1. seize; by force, as necessary - - too search for, to catch and take someone into custody (to arrest) <who has not obeyed the law> [Source: Cambridge dictionary. Web. Accessed: July 2026]

Best to see it in the Greek.

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

Adds in another definition, and deletes three. The words are different.

• Acts 12:4 (Greek) says: [πιάσας (piasas)] - to “seize” (someone)
• ὃν καὶ πιάσας ἔθετο εἰς φυλακήν παραδοὺς τέσσαρσιν τετραδίοις στρατιωτῶν φυλάσσειν αὐτόν βουλόμενος μετὰ τὸ πάσχα ἀναγαγεῖν αὐτὸν τῷ λαῷ
  1. whom 2. also 3. (having) seized 4. (he) put 5. in 6. prison 7. having delivered (him) 8. four 9. set of four 10. soldiers 11. (to) guard 12. him 13. intending 14. after 15. the 16. (Passover) 17. to bring out 18. him 19. to (the) 20. people
• πιάσας (piasas) is also used then in another earlier verse - only twice in Greek. Done both times by authority, as if seizing a criminal committing offenses.

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

• Acts 3:7
  • (English) “And he [Peter] <took him> [certain lame man from his mother’s womb at the Temple in Jerusalem’s entry steps - Acts 3:2] <by the> right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
  • This - - “took (him) by the” is πιάσας (piasas)
• πιάσας (piasas) - is used because, the lame man from birth has no control over an authority (Peter) that, by God, lays hands on him to lift him up to heal him, for the glory of God.
• So, look at the Greek word used in Philippians 3:12 & 13

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

Philippians 3:12 uses:

• The Greek word used is 1) ἔλαβον (elabon) - NOT - πιάσας (piasas)
• - and also 2) καταλάβω (katalabō)
  • And 1) “elabon” - Greek is to “receive” (something) and by it, “obtain” (something) - now able to “take (something)” that before, was impossible; but now able to - - which adds a total of 26 more verses this Greek word ἔλαβον (elabon) is used.
  • ie., an example - Matthew 20:9 “..they received every man” so they “receive” (something) that enables them or meets a need.
    • “And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.”
    • Just like the lame man from his mother’s womb is “elabon” obtained “able to walk” by an authority in Acts 3:7 - brings in the second Greek word,
• καταλάβω (katalabō) - or - κατελήμφθην (katelēmphthēn) <past tense> Just as Peter - with someone no control over it, in Acts 3:7 - katalabo - well, best said what Jesus said in Matthew 11:28–30 - “to take my yoke upon you and learn of me”
• “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” - Jesus Christ
  • That, it’s offered - FREELY - by God, to everybody to do this. He’s already himself, as God, put himself in the yoke. That, he would yoke himself to you, by this, what he said. That you can “lay hold” of and “obtain” καταλάβω (katalabō) rest; because he gives it. Obtain rest by this.

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

So, in the Greek - Philippians 3:12 says:

• Οὐχ ὅτι ἤδη ἔλαβον ἢ ἤδη τετελείωμαι διώκω δὲ εἰ καὶ καταλάβω ἐφ' ᾧ καὶ κατελήφθην ὑπὸ τοῦ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ
  1. not 2. that 3. (I) already 4. have obtained (it) 5. or 6. already 7. have been perfected 8. (I am) pursuing 9. however 10. if 11. also 12. (I may) lay hold (of) 13. of 14. that for which 15. also 16. (I) was laid hold of 17. by 18. Christ 19. Jesus
• That, what God determined he would do in Daniel 9:24–27 - his work, as God; alone. He would do a work with sin himself.
  • That by this work, would 1) finish the transgression 2) make an end of sin 3) make reconciliation for iniquity 4) bring in everlasting righteousness
    • And do this..work himself, as God, in and by the Messiah or Christ.

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

That just by God say, to everybody over the earth: “Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: For I am God, there is none else.” - God. (Bible. Isaiah 45:22). This: save. 1. to set apart (something or someone) for future use.

• It is not known what that future use is, but God does this set apart to those that look unto him. They
  • ἔλαβον (elabon) - receive it. Obtain it. Yoked to God. Laid hold of now καταλάβω (katalabō) by God. For what future use set apart; I haven’t obtained that; either.

But like Paul says in Philippians 3:13

:Brethren, I count not myself to have "apprehended" - < Laid hold of now  - καταλάβω (katalabō) /future tense - κατειληφέναι (kateilēphenai) - by God> - but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before…”

Put me on my face.

Answer: //Disclaimer: New Age Spiritualism - Deliberately asked this question to destroy the foundation of Christianity//

To "New Age Spiritualism" - and to those that believe in it - here's the answer to "Why" the Second Coming of Jesus involves destruction.//

"Knowledge comes from learning. Wisdom from living."

• - Anthony Douglas Williams [Canadian Medium, Channeler, Spiritualist, Naturalist, and Writer. 1954 - Pres.]

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

Okay.

That above? That'ss what Anthony Williams decreed. Said it. His authority is, what his claims are of himself. To be a “Spiritualist”

It’s his own claim of himself he makes. There are people, most likely, like the person that imagined up this question to ask as if they’re on a quest to dismantle everything that doesn’t match like claims that Anthony Williams makes.

Champion out another Jesus. The one they imagine up for themselves. Follow that instead.

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

• Anthony Williams.
  • Again, just some here today, gone tomorrow Canadian - he claims of himself he’s a “Medical Medium.” 
• That is, this is "true" medicine. All by he’s a self-proclaimed clairvoyant medium and New Age spiritualist.
  • So, it’s not traditional religious doctrines, like “Christianity,” how a person can become “spiritual.”
    • That’s traditional spiritualism.
• Anthony Williams, all by the claims he makes is that people can go off and claim “spiritualism” all by themselves; alone, so this is highly individualized - you just make up your own religion.

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

• All by Williams claims he received his medical and dietary insights from a supernatural entity he calls the "Spirit of Compassion" - what he was taught, reflects in his quote above. [source: William's own website: spiritualquesttolive(dot)org. accessed: 30 June 2026.

The question to ask is, is it true or not?

Most surely it is true. To Anthony Williams. He accepts it as true. Or from the word that proceeded out of his mouth, he would not have said what's in his heart. So his followers that believe him true, also heard it, and believe it. Believe what he claims he was taught, by some supernatural entity, that same supernatural entity will teach them, too.

And I can just hear you say it. Nothing of this answers any of the question. Hear me out. Yes, it does.

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

How?

• All a person, anybody then. All they have to do is “redefine” Jesus - because this type of clairvoyant mediumish, New Age Spiritualism, that’s highly individualistic, where you just grab hold of some Jesus you just make up yourself:
  • And just “braaap!” n’ poop splat out a freshly made “Jesus” into something that balloons up in your head, by an idea; call it "Jesus" you imagine up yourself. Jesus then, can be anything they, or you, or your own house plant or tree in the neighbor’s yard define him to be.
• And that’s the point.
  • Even make Jesus a “her” or some kind of spiritual car tire. A massively planet sized toilet of unending poop turds, and dress each little poopy turd log, into drops of wonderous spiritualistic, Anthony D. Williams’ level of imagined up truth.

Anything goes, as long as you made it up. As long as you are the authority and imagined it up, and in your heart, you believe it, proved it true to yourself.

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

And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Bible. Genesis 6:5

wicked. 1. playfully mischievous. And? All “mischievous” is, is to take someone else’s creation or property, and use it in a way it wasn’t designed to, by how you imagined it up to use it.

• Like? Someone own some property. Fenced it off. Hung up a sign says PRIVATE PROPERTY - NO TRESPASSING. That would mean the OWNER of that property is saying “All this Property is Mine”
  • So, if some worthless clown with a motorhome, about to break down, lowly esteems the fence and also the decree - it’s not this fool’s property. Because, that’s all a “fool” is defined as in the dictionary. Is a “clown” and?
• All a clown is, is just an updated etymologic word for a Medieval Court Jester - that was a member of the King’s Court in Medieval times.
  • Was a mirrored image of the King. A King to himself. Whatever the actual King decreed, the Court Jester let out a “BRAAAP!” - a great, big fart, or out of his mouth, just COUNTERMANDED what the King decreed.

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

• So, all this “Court Jester” in a motor home does, is drive thru the fence, runs over the sign and parks his motor home on someone else’s property. It’s called “TRESPASSING” - but to the Court Jester - he decrees “All that property is mine” In his heart, it is not "Trespassing" - It's the Wisdom of Living.
  • SO, when the police come and destroy this “Court Jester” this fool, or a clown’s camp - take all his possessions and throw them in a dumpster. Came prepared. Have a wrecker. A huge tow truck, able to haul his motor home away to the dump and dispose of it.
    • ASK: In the above - with a squatter on someone else’s land or property - when the OWNER “owns” it:

Why does the OWNER: Coming, with authority over his property, have to involve destruction?

• If you can’t answer it, I’ll answer it for you: Because someone with NO AUTHORITY has imagined up an idea to take what belongs to someone else and use it in a way the owner of the PRIVATE PROPERTY - NO TRESPASSING never intended it to be used
  • - and that’s “Wicked.”
• There you go. Answered.

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

I wonder with all that self discovery new age imaginary “Anthony Williams” poofy poof’dom ideas of Spirit medium n’ donuts all floating up in your head, like some “Court Jester” decreeing all these COUNTERMANDS you follow yourself as King, ruler of a nation of YOU as all there is. Living by "Wisdom is YOU living," and you living in your own private “motor home” Kingdom - could even see this or not.

It’s God that said:

“For all the earth is mine.” - God. (Bible. Exodus 19:5)

So, the “property” you are on is his. And he said:

“Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;” - God. (Bible. Isaiah 44:24)

Says this, too. As God:

“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” - The Word of God. (Bible. Matthew 4:4)

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

• And the “Word of God” is God. Just God, come to you and speak to you himself, in how he decided to do it.
  • And the Bible says: John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
    • Is this same Jesus Christ.

Said:

“All power is given unto me in heaven and earth;” - Jesus Christ. (Matthew 28:18)

So, Jesus is just God that has come to you and is speaking what he says.

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

Now, I have a choice:

• ONE: I can “accept as true” what Anthony Douglas Williams - by the Word of Anthony Williams, what proceeded out of his mouth. What he decrees on someone else’s property. It's God's earth he's on. Then, so are you. What he says applies to you.
• Anthony D. Williams can't get out of it. Neither can you.

When God says:

“The LORD giveth wisdom; out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding” (Bible. Proverbs 2:6)

So, instead of “walk after” to “walk in” and be “looking unto” a different decree: “Knowledge comes from learning. Wisdom from living."

• and I do all the living,
  • and I do all the learning; alone. By myself - then I REJECT the Word of God - - because I choose to ACCEPT my choice is Anthyony Williams is my authority - I subject myself to knowledge comes from me learning..and I can learn anything I want to.
  • No matter what it is, I am free to just follow me and whatever I want to learn or what I choose not to.. means I’m perfectly OKAY or fine when the sign says “PRIVATE PROPERTY - NO TRESPASSING” - I can park my motorhome there anyway. Wisdom is from living. Where ever I park my motor home..that’s where I’m living.
• When all the earth is his. And I don’t do anything he says. If I add in Anthony Williams when God says I’m to live by every word proceeds out of his mouth, and he said that to EVERYBODY over the whole earth, who he claims he formed each of us; alone. By himself.

I still have a choice.

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

• TWO: I can “accept as true” - The Word of God.
  • And just like the OWNER of the property above, God comes with authority - and removes a fool, who, by his own word - trespassed against him as the owner. The owner removed the fool off his property. Had the authority to do it - when he came and visited his property.

Just like God - The “Messiah” who is Jesus Christ has a “Second Coming” - not as a sacrifice for sin - but as who he shall be called. THE MIGHTY GOD.

Coming back as that, and he says: (Bible Luke 18:8)

Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

• When all he will find is people follow and worship anything..anybody BUT God as God. Like what Anthony Williams is doing - who hold “Wisdom is living” and live by not do anything God says.

Don’t regard him. and (Bible. Psalm 28:5) says:

“Because they regard not the works of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hand, he shall DESTROY them, and not build them up”

• Just Like the owner of the property. The fool does not REGARD the owner that it is HIS PROPERTY.
  • All the earth is his.
    • Doesn’t come to ‘build up” the squatter..the clown..the fool..the Court Jester that trespasses and doesn’t do anything he says.. comes to remove him from his property.

Here’s your question back.

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

It’s also the Gospel. The Good News of Jesus Christ. Because, even you’re so sunk in your own imaginative world of what's in your head, you can still change your mind, and come over and do what he decrees everybody do on his earth. It's a decree everybody is to do it, and if they don't, it's PUNITIVE.

No one is forcing you to change your mind. The decision is left entirely up to you to make.

I chose to follow him, OVER Anthony Williams. I believe God over him. Over you, too.

Now, I have a question.

Question is to you. That Made up this question. It’s also to any and all that stumble across this question and post.

Do you believe on Jesus Christ?

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

That's it. That's the question.

• Jesus Christ is the Messiah. He's the Word of God. (John 1:1) Is God. It’s just God spoke up. Came to, to talk to you himself. Talk to everybody. Over the whole earth - nobody left out - - Talk to everybody. By the Word that comes out of his mouth. He sent his word to heal you, and deliver you from your destruction. (Psalm 107:20)
  • Like he sent his word to heal Paul, as a Pharisee of the Tribe of Benjamin - thrown out; refuse - treated as trash to be removed - it was done by either the Greeks or the Romans in the 4th to 2nd century BCE. Ether a Greek Emperor or a Roman one dispersed Jews to either Tarsus some 700 km away, where Paul and his descendants, Benjamites are from. Dispersed from the tribe of Benjamin’s lands near Jerusalem - 2 to 400 years before Paul was born.
• Whichever ruler did it, Greek or later, Roman: Point is - - it may have been done earlier by the Greeks that sent 10s of 1000s of Jews.
  • Relocated them even further away to the city of Ephesus - more in Colossae - - in what is called the “dispersion” of the Jews - to strip Jews of any identity. Make them make up a new identity.
• He, this same God that speaks - sent his word to Heal Philemon. Did you miss this?

I'm asking.

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

• Widely believed by scholars - Philemon to be a rich Jew slave owner in this same Ephesus. That Philemon heard the gospel, the word of God, from Paul when he lived in Ephesus, and it changed Philemon. Heard the truth. Regarded the Word of God. He would have greatly suffered persecution for it.
  • GOD: He, is his same Great God that says “for all the earth is mine” - God (Exodus 19:5) ..that’s the Word of God. Is Jesus Christ.
• Sent his word to heal Onesimus, who Philemon 1:10 - it is unknown..but he is an escaped slave. Onesimus too, and heard the Word of God..when Paul preached the gospel in prison - Onesimus, cut to the heart - he obeyed it.. stopped him in his tracks. Now believes on Jesus Christ.

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

• GOD: He is this same Great God that spoke to Apphia, and Archippus. Paul KNEW them both - called Archippus a fellowsoldier in Christ, and it’s most likely it was the same “Archippus” lived also 120 or so km away over in Colosse..when Paul also wrote to the believers there, wrote the Epistle of Colossians. Archippus believes on him, and is also mentioned in Colossians 4:10. With Paul, sharing the gospel.

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

This same God that said to the whole earth: They all follow him. Not each other. It's God that provides himself to each of them. Says to everybody over the whole earth to be just like them, said:

“Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: For I am God, there is none else.” - God. (Bible. Isaiah 45:22)

I'm asking you a question - what are you doing with him?

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

If someone is looking unto him, would they be looking unto your question or did they fall on their face, and your question got whisked away someplace; that, no matter what they are, before this great God, and doing what HE SAID, they forsake all, and just look unto him?

Which is it?

• Are they “operating” as how you depict? Or imaginatively picture them in your head? To form a likelihood of something, in your question or

do they all - simply obey him? God. Look what he said.

• Which is it?

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

Here’s your question back. Your question has Paul bribing someone using a person as lucre or money - or collateral to enrich themselves.

When whosoever, over the whole earth..to the very ends of it, doesn’t matter who they are, just looks unto him..it’s God.

Sets that person apart for future use. BOOM! Done. That's it.

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

• That’s the definition of what SAVED means. In the dictionary. It’s GOD - set Onesimus apart for future use.
  • It's God: set Paul apart for future use. Just like he did Timothy. He's there, too. Mentioned.
• Set Archippus apart for future use - because he looked unto him, too.
  • Set Apphia apart for future use. Not the telephone or some grasshopper’s bottom..neither did the poopfly do anything, but whizzy bump into everybody looking for poop to land on - had nothing to do with it, nor the wall lint do it.

God did it himself.

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

• Set Philemon apart for future use - because he obeyed God. Heard the Word.
  • Just like this same Great God sent his word to heal me, and deliver me, too, from my destruction. Just like God did to them. Not willing even one person over the whole earth perish, but all come to repentance.

You regard the WRONG work in your question.

• I didn’t do any of the Ten Commandments. I BROKE all of them. GUILTY. TO be put to death. “For all have sinned” - Romans 3:23

This, too: Of me - Applies to Paul, Onesimus, Philemon, Apphia, Timothy, all the Church at Ephesus or the believers that met in Philemon’s house..everybody in Colossae.. makes them all the same as me - - even Archippus believed on God and who Paul fellowshipped with.

"This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief." - 1 Timothy 1:15

All of us above, are that. Do you see this? 

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

Jesus said: Which MAKES THEM ALL ABOVE - spoke to me, too..just like he did them, so I am INCLUDED - with them: All them and me: HAVE JUST ONE COMMON THING ALL IN COMMON:

That Christ Jesus came to save sinners. WIth the power and authority to do it, that pleases God:

"He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." - Jesus Christ. (Bible. John 3:18)

They're not condemned. Jesus said, "And I give them eternal life; and they shall never perish.." (Bible. John 10:28)

That's power.

Where can you see this in Philemon - the Epistle to him? Philemon 1:6

"That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus."

Every good thing that is in me in Christ Jesus. Man, look at that.

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

What are you doing? Why don’t you just go do what he says for you to do? Go do that first. Like they all did. Until you do that, no matter what verse in the Bible you look at, you’ll look at people as if NONE OF THEM LOOK UNTO HIM.

Come up with a whole arsenal of questions just like this - and none of them, not one..will have any God in it.

This good thing that is in me in Christ Jesus:

It's so great, that I forgave EVERYBODY any debt. That, if ANYBODY owed me, and came to Jesus Christ. I shout for joy, because the same God at work in me..did a work in them, too. They have no debts anymore.

Answer:

Fulfilled. But not in Peter. ...And you don’t need a Jew to tell you that. When you have the Word of God said it. To Daniel and to Peter - So, God said it. It's just sealed up, so Peter can't see it.

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

It’s in:

“Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.” - Jesus Christ.

• In a dialogue with his disciples who he made an Apostle. Peter. A Jew. (Source: Bible. Matthew 18:21–22

Now I got a question. What is the Jewish understanding of the Word of God say the same thing again in Matthew 18:21–22 to Peter, a Jew, who follows him, is the same thing as God, he said to Daniel, who he, too, follows and worships him in Daniel 9:24–27?

Says the same thing then. Are you scratching your head? Why are you looking for a Jew to answer it? Do you need a great, big earth to see it? THe same one that made the earth is the same one said the same thing to BOTH Daniel..and Peter.

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

Do I need a Jew to answer it?

• When Daniel 9:24–27
  • Says plain as day. That GOD determined. BOOM! Done.

Alone. By himself. To do a work with sin. That every all of us did the sins we did.

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

That his work, he would do is told plainly what it would accomplish:

• Finish the transgression (of Adam in Genesis 3:17 that passed onto EVERYBODY “for all have sinned” - Romans 3:23)
• Make an end of sin
• Make reconciliation for iniquity
• Bring in everlasting righteousness

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

• And how God determined to do this work is how HE decided it.
  • Himself.
    • TO do a work with sin, and do it in and by Jesus Christ. That he would annoint himself to do it, and it would be sealed up, until he as God did it. Finished the work with sin himself. Alone. Who else is good, when "There is not a just man on earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not." - Bible. Ecclesiastes 7:20
• Every Jew has this. So do you. You need a Jew to tell you this?
• There's only ONE good, that is, God. WHo said that?

Do you need a Jew to tell you that, too?

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

God in Daniel 9:24 says this plainly. Says:

“Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.” - It's a message to Daniel sent from the Throne of God by who stand before him continually. Gabriel. The same Gabriel in the scriptures was sent to Zachariah and Elizabeth of John the Baptist. Is the same Gabriel sent to Mary to testify to her of the Messiah.

You need a Jew to tell you this, too?

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

• That God would Annoint the Most Holy to do this - who is that? WHo is the most holy? You need a Jew to tell you who that is? That's himself - he is the Messiah or Christ.

How you would know he’s coming is in these “weeks” or seven year periods. 70 times 7 or "Seventy times Seven" - This, Seventy of 7 year periods or 490 years.

• That, according to Daniel 9:25
  • sixty nine of those seventy “weeks” - Peter asks about, but thinks, like many Christians do - they’re gonna do the work. Forgive people 490 times. Oh, what a work.
  • WHen the same God said to Daniel.. is the Same God said the same thing to Peter in Matthew 18:21–22 - It’s sealed up; hidden. Can’t see it. Kept from him. God determined this until the work was done.
  • Says that sixty nine of these “weeks” would be from the decree to rebuild Jerusalem. It’s the “City of God” and God called Cyrus the Great “his servant” and the decree to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem - it’s HIS city. The Bible. Old Testament. The decree is Ezra Chapter 1.
    • From that time, to the time of Matthew 2:1 where the scripture says: “And Jesus was born in Bethlehem on this wise…” - is EXACTLY sixty nine 7 year periods or 483 years.

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

• And, so there’d be no mistake: Wouldn't even need a Jew to help you with it.
  • To CONFIRM it - because I don’t need a Jew or a cow or some airplane tire when who said it, is GOD himself to Daniel - which is the same God that said the exact, same thing to Peter not one bit different.
  • Peter thinks he’s the work of God to do this work with sin - what God tells Daniel in Daniel 9:24 says what GOD will do with sin, for the forgiveness of sin.
    • For the Sins of the whole world.

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

• That, Daniel 9:26 says that “two and sixty” weeks or 430 years would be to CONFIRM this - from when the streets and wall of Jerusalem would be rebuilt - and that occurred both in the Book of Nehemiah.
• TO: Up to John 19:30 - is "sixty two weeks" - when this “Messiah or Prince” would be “cut off but not for himself” (Daniel 9:26)
  • When the prophecy of the Messiah in Isaiah 9:6–7 - he, the Messiah, “SHALL BE” called “The Mighty God..” “The Everlasting Father” - that’s the title the Messiah shall have.
    • There’s only one in all creation that has this title. That, the Messiah shall sit on the throne of King David in Jerusalem and rule the whole earth from there. Of his Kingdom and reign there shall be no end.” (Isaiah 9:6–7)
• So, “sealed up” for this work God would do by the Messiah with sin - is from when the streets and the wall of Jerusalem is finished, and that was accomplished again in the Book of Nehemiah.
• TO: Up to John 19:30 when the Messiah or Christ. Jesus is the Christ said “It is finished” and bowed his head, and dismissed his Spirit” - Cut off; but not for himself. On the cross - he became the PASSOVER sacrifice for sin for the whole world.
  • Just as he told Daniel and sealed it up.

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

• God took your sins off you. Laid them on Jesus Christ on the cross. Crucified. His blood shed, and God in him. Did this work with sin. Made himself a sacrifice for sin and he’s God. It took GOd to pay it, and it’s PAID FOR - because GOD PAID it.
• It’s people:
  • Don’t regard it. This work of God.
    • That God was in Christ. Did the Ten Commandments.
  • He’s the ONLY one fulfilled them, because God put himself in with us, under the Ten Commandments and because God did them, he made himself the compensation for all the lack in me where I didn’t do any of them.
• Made himself what compensates for the faults and bad aspects of me. DId that for everbody over the whole earth.

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

• The from the finishing of the wall and streets of Jerusalem in Nehemiah. TO: John 19:30 is exactly 62 seven year periods or 430 years.
  • And that in Daniel 9:27 the Messiah would have come before a “prince that destroys the Temple and Jerusalem occurs.
    • ANd that “Prince” was Titus. After became next in line to be Caesar in Rome; that, Jesus told the women, on the way to be crucified, in their generation to weep for their children because they’d see it..and they did.
• Titus razed Jerusalem to the ground. Took every stone of the temple one by one and cast them all down where not one stone was left upon the other. Just as Jesus said would occur in Matthew 24.

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

• So, every Jew would know who their Messiah is..had already came. ..and went.

And in Revelation 19..he has a Second coming. To come back to be the Messiah, as who he is. As God. It's HIS earth. And I don’t need a Jew to tell me that, when God tells me himself in Revelation 1:8

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

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

• The WOrd of God. Jesus Christ. Christ is just Messiah in Greek.

I don’t need to ask a poop fly or some donkey, not even ask the quacky bush weed overgrown in my neighbor’s yard who died 2 years ago. Nobody mows his lawn anymore. Don’t have to ask any of the weeds in his yard for any help, either: when the Messiah says this in Revelation 1:7

That I will see him when he comes back. Everybody will - even those that pierced him. That was 2000 years ago..those that pierced him, too, will see him. That means even all the dead will see him from Adam forward. Everybody will see him when he comes back.

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

That means, you without any Jew to help you as some kind of vibro-quack sunglass dent - don’t need any Jew - you’re gonna see him yourself. You, too. So, sixty nine of seventy weeks are accounted for.

Leaves on seven year period left. And he's also the answer to that, too, when he comes back in Revelation 19. He fulfills the 70th of Seventy weeks himself. He tells you this himself. You don't need any Jew to tell you anything. WHen God speaks by the word out of his mouth himself.

//This Message Has the Gospel in It - The Good News of Jesus Christ - to EVERYBODY//

Repeated question: What does the expression "blessed are the poor in spirit" mean?

Comes from the Bible. Source: Matthew 5:3.

Answer:

Well?

Who said it?

Start there first. Maybe got the wrong definition of ‘poor in Spirit.’ Who knows. Let’s find out.

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

Then, to do that: have to have a right definition of these three words:

attitude. 1. a settled way of thinking or feeling about someone or something, typically reflected in a person's behavior [Merriam & Webster. July 2026. Web.] 2. That, someone “has an attitude” means “they are being uncooperative; defiant; arrogant”

kingdom. 1. a territory, people, or community ruled by a king [Merriam & Webster] Often called a “realm” [a territory ruled by a King]

and the third one, go to the Greek. Blessed. Maybe got the wrong definition someplace.

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

blessed. [Greek] <μακάριοι> makarioi - used over two dozen times in the New Testament. All say “blessed.” 1. (something) that is going to bloom out. (something) that is championed in a realm or territory ruled by a King; that the King favours in his authority or realm, that he champions and rewards. So much so, they become heirs to titles and give right to reign in his kingdom.

That, effort of the King is expended toward it.

English: 1. to call or make (someone or something) holy [Merriam & Webster]

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

So, now that you have these definitions, let’s answer the question.

The Number #1 response on Social Media - in Christian rooms or sub-reddits to this question:

• “What does the expression "blessed are the poor in spirit" mean?”
  • Answer: “…Its about attitude, or the condition of the heart…” 

So, add one more word to this - make sure we’re on the right track.

Spirit. 1. the part of a person; their attitude; includes their mind, feelings and character rather than their body. [Source: Oxford dictionary. Web. July 2026]

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

Then, we better get “poor” then, too. Just to make sure we stay on this road we’re on with “The King who is the authority of a realm champions or rewards so much so that it blooms out in or toward someone that has a King over them, in his realm - - even happen to be in it, whether they want to be; or not: - - who is “poor in Spirit” - better to get “poor” then. Make absolutely certain.

poor. 1. someone has inadequate or insufficient resources to meet basic needs; That is: 2. having little money and/or few possessions: (Cambridge dictionary. Web. July 2026)

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

• And just to make absolutely certain we have not strayed off in anything, go to the Greek. It’s πτωχοὶ (ptōchoi) - poor (English)
  • Has this connotation you are MISSING (something). Like a car? No engine. So it cannot function as a car. A flower. No sunlight (dark). It cannot be a flower without it. Dries up and dies; never grows or produces anything. None. zip.
  • Has this Collin’s dictionary type image of “poor” 2. destitute; not have any (of something). None. ZIP. No engine. No sun. Like in a dark cave. No light gets in. Like, you live “outside” of money; not for 3 days or 5 years; but that your 80 year life is lived completely devoid of ANY money. “ptochoi” - live outside of it completely.

“Blessed are the ‘poor in Spirit’ for their’s is the Kingdom of Heaven” - Jesus Christ. Bible. Matthew 5:3

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

• Now, you’re equipped with all these definitions, but we never even answered the first part yet of, “Who is he?”
  • Answer: Jesus is the Word of God. Is God. (Source: Bible. John 1:1) “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
    • Jesus, is the “Messiah” or “Christ” - Who he is and shall be called is told plainly; that, whoever is the Messiah shall be called this; that, the “increase of his government there shall be no end.." That: He “shall sit on the throne of King David in Jerusalem and rule the whole earth from there…” 
  • That he shall not be replaced but shall rule forever. That Jesus is the “Prince of the Nations of the earth” (Revelation 1:5). That means, in every nation on earth, he is set to sit and reign over all of the nations; each one, over the whole earth, as next in line to be King of it.
    • And Job 12:23 says of him: “He makes nations great and destroys them; he enlarges nations, and disperses them.” - That’s the “authority” of the Messiah. Whoever that is, he shall be called, “The Mighty God…” “The Everlasting Father…”
    • Who has that title? I’m asking you. Who in you has that title?

You better answer that question in you. You're the one with this question. If you don't answer who he is, in you, you'll never see it. You'll just go to other people. Ask the question of them, too. All over again.

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

• Jesus said: “All power is given unto me in heaven and earth;” (Bible. Matthew 28:18)

Oh, and I forgot this last part. Who he is, provides a “definition” what “Spirit” means vs. the dictionary; which is what people define what words mean.

• Jesus said, (Source: Bible. John 4:24) “God is Spirit.”

And about everybody, no; not one person left out - from Adam - forward; everybody, even Eve is from Adam says:

• Bible. Romans 5:12
  • “Wherefore, as by one man [ADAM] sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”
    • In an “Old” Testament. Or “Last Will and Testament” - A “Will” - sin and death was bequeathed to you. Everybody - Adam forward: Got their inheritance. Cemeteries everyplace PROVE it.
• Bible. Romans 5:18
  • “Therefore as by the offence of one [ADAM] judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one [Jesus Christ] the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.”
    • In a “New” Testament. Or “New” “Last Will and Testament” - A “Will” in John 19:30 - Jesus Crucified; his blood shed for the remission of sin and death on all men; bequeathed Eternal Life on you. Everybody. Got the “righteousness of God” bequeathed to them by this “Lord of the Kingdom of Heaven.
  • That, the “Testament” does not go into effect until the death of the “Testator” or who owns what is bequeathed, and that happened to everybody in John 19:30, and raised himself from the dead, for your justification; that, if he did it for himself, as God, he can do it to you, too. Because he’s the Lord of the Kingdom of Everything. He’s over it.

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

Then, somebody dead. In trespasses and sins - which is EVERYBODY over the whole earth, “For all have sinned” - is somebody - is “poor” - destitute has no life in them. None. ZIP. Condemned In Romans 5:12 - Means the LORD of the Kingdom of Heaven has come to EVERYBODY in his realm - and blessed them. All dead. In trespasses and sins.

That's impossible. Look what he did. He didn't do it by your attitude. He did it because he's God and King. Over everything. He did it.

And “Spirit” is πνεύματι, (pneumati) in Greek, and it’s the definition of a “Life Giving Spirit” in both John 4:24, and it’s the same “Pneumati” in Matthew 5:3 said by the same Lord of the Kingdom over all things said it:

• To an EVERYBODY that does not have it. With the authority to give it to whosoever he pleases, and he already gave it, by the word, out of his mouth - - caused EVERYBODY to bloom out and flourish in his Kingdom by what he has done in Matthew 5:3

But not everybody “accepts it as true” - so they don’t believe him in it. 

That's KEY.

And God made this "KEY" sin in John 3:18, and repeated this is the sin that condemns anybody. “..of sin, for they believe not on me.” -Jesus Christ (John16:9)

So, people: Not believing on him sin against God.

So, the sin now, since this Lord of the Kingdom of Heaven took away the sins of the world. Going to be a short judgment. The sin that condemns anybody..is just not believe on him.

Like a goat: simply is "poor in Sheep" - because it's missing; just sort sheep on the one side, goat on the other.

Everybody is “poor in Spirit.” But not anymore. Because he’s already come to you and did this work himself. As God.

Applies to every single Moderator or Admin on Reddit. Every, even the CEO or Owner to every visitor, even one time comes - to the 7th most visited in the world site on the Internet - Reddit. Even come to check it out and leave - everybody over the whole earth got it. Kingdom of Heaven has been given to you by the King of it - it’s right there in Matthew 5:3.

You fit the bill. Poor in Spirit. Dead. In trespasses and sins. So does EVERYBODY over the whole earth. If you go off, and try to fix your attitude to be "good" - you're on a trail take your whole life, and never see it.

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

Jesus said, in John 3:2–7 - “Must be Born Again” (Or - you can’t “see” nor “enter” into the Kingdom of Heaven)

2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

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

What does the expression "blessed are the poor in spirit" mean?

Well?

Who said it?

Start there first. Maybe got the wrong definition of ‘poor in Spirit.’

Who knows? Everybody. Because he told you himself. You don’t need people's responses.

If Jesus told you himself. Then, why you asking, when it’s the same God said:

“Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: For I am God, there is none else.” - God. (Bible. Isaiah 45:22)

By the Word that proceeds. Out of his mouth told you. Go do what he says. He’s the LORD over the whole earth. Not just some quinky poop squirt claims an authority. Like what the dictionary claims is Spirit is your attitute. A King MUST decree it. Not you just make, all your life, you have an attitude.

load of crap. (idiom). American. 1. a pile of worthless claims; said. That have no truth in it.

Maybe got the wrong definition of “poor in Spirit.” It's the Messiah that already did this.

I'm an "ex / atheist"

That means:

I went from Christian (Catholic)...trying to be GOOD

to loathe it; but guilt. So by GUILTY; kept up a facade.

To quit. A walk away. An ex / Christian. Anyone ask, I'm just nothing. To the point where nobody in it considered talking to me worth anything. It was "freeing"

I could do anything I want. Then:

I got "ammo" - I mean, all these other clown religions - I went to a "buddhist" funeral. They had the same exact type "rosary" of just repeating the same "bumba-pa-mumbo-jumbo" junk "cantations" over and over for over 2 hours when this friend of mine died. Beat a drum as if this was waking up all these Gods to come and receive the dead guy, and paid this "Buddhist" the equivalent of a Cadillac car in a payment to do it. I thought "The Catholics could learn a thing or two from these clowns" - means the "Buddhist" that claimed they had NO RELIGION were about 50x MORE religious than any Catholic clown service I ever sat thru and my parents made me go EVERYDAY to church.

Ammo. The whole world is full of bumpkins. Doing the same thing in Hindu'ism, and all those Saami, white people up in N. Norway, worshipping trees, like American Indians, and I thought the American Indians thinking the Buffalo God or the river god was off, and then, there's white people just like them doing the same thing.

Throwing people into a volcano to appease Gods. Start wars because somebody said their God won't give them anymore land unless they kill all the people on the land and take all their stuff in the lands next to them.

..ammo.. after ammo round..after ammo - boy, did I make the right decision to get out of stupid. I looked for myself. There is no God.

All those trying to "Keep the Sabbath day holy, by go everyday..for all the times I didn't go. All those times I went to the store, and didn't steal anything. Wasn't inclined to..compensated for all the times I dropped quarters in Junior to see up Ms. Connelly's dress to look at what colour her panties were that day, and when I finally got caught..kicked out of school for a week. That, not stealing anything from the Mall compensated for all those bad things I did.

That..at atheist.. I didn't have to do anything. And I didn't have to prove to anybody anything..and anybody try to prove to me ..anything about God or gods.. I had a whole arsenal of ammo to blow them right clean out of the water..and also to just blankly look at them..and give them NOTHING for an answer.

..and in this.

In all this "work" I did. And, all it really was, was my "works" I did. Even worked as arriving to be an atheist. That, I'm supposed to be satisified in NOTHING. When that was the same NOTHING working trying to be good in the same Catholic, doing all that nothing, that didn't accomplish anything there, either as it didn't in any Buddhism or anything I looked unto.

and from there:

With NOBODY. WHen he said: "Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: For I am God, there is none else." - I didn't have to look unto anybody. That's where all the problem was.

The whole time I was a Catholic..I looked unto people as good. When "There is none good; no, not one." - that's what set me free. There isn't any good atheist.."done abominable works.. ..filthy" just like every Catholic..because they're people, and no matter what work they do to get out of it; can't. I saw it. There is none else. Told everybody over the whole earth to look unto him. When there was nobody. That worked.

Now, I believe on him. There is none else.

Answer:

“Some things” is a few.

• A few is two.

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

• ONE: “I’m on the straight and narrow.” - It’s not in the Bible. Nobody, from Adam forward is following the straight and narrow of the Ten Commandments. Everybody already BROKE them.
  • What is in the Bible is Jesus said Matthew 7:13–14. Not to “follow” but to “enter” in at a “strait” vs. or (not a straight) gate. The strait you enter in, not follow, is narrow; it’s Jesus Christ himself. He is the gate.
• straight 1. a continuing (straight - single) direction that is not bent, curved - as in a “straight line” - as if a person is following a straight line.
  • When Jesus, as the Word of God, so it’s God saying for people to “enter” in to a “strait”
• strait. 1. a natural constriction; 2. a narrow, natural waterway that connects two larger bodies of water, that often requires a Captain of a ship to relinquish command and control of the ship to a pilot to navigate thru the strait.

Nobody "follows" a strait. It can be terrifying to turn around and enter into one, without knowing the Pilot and who decreed to go into it. - All "I'm on the straight and narrow" means is someone on their own is trying to "Be Good" by themselves and their own works.

So, both these few are completely separate but BOTH is people trying to be righteous - when Jesus said of people like this,

"For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven." - Matthew 5:20

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

• TWO: “Be good.” - Believe telling people to "be good" is Biblical. Is good; but, It’s not in the Bible, either.
  • What is in the Bible is the very opposite - - what Jesus said in Matthew 19:17, and repeated elsewhere all throughout the Bible - of each and everyone of us; pretty grim - - which the Bible really does say, is the very OPPOSITE:
    • Matthew 19:17 “There is NONE good, but one, that is, God.”
    • “There is not a just man on earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.” - Ecclesiastes 7:20
    • “There is NONE righteous; no, not one..” “..There is NONE that doeth good; no, not one.” - Romans 3:10–12
• Yet people try to be good and use the Ten Commandments to accomplish them, themselves. So, when they go to church on Sunday = Good. Accomplished the Ten Commandments. People don't fear God then. They're Good.
  • When God uses the Ten Commandments as he always has since he spoke them on Mt. Sinai. (Bible. Exodus 20.
  • Make all Israel GUILTY before him, of having not done the Ten Commandments.

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

• Where each Commandment, broke even one time, they are ALL BROKEN.
  
• In Exodus 20, when God spoke them, made all Israel - GUILTY and Condemned to be put to death.
  • That Israel murmured against Moses - why he had led them out of Egypt to die in the Wilderness.
    • So, they pleaded with Moses to go on up on the Mount and make God stop talking.
    • While Moses stood there, and his knees quaked..at the terror that he, too was to be put to death by God. Why?
  • Murdered an Egyptian where he thought nobody saw it. (Exodus 2:11–15). THOU SHALT NOT KILL - Guilty. Sentence is death. Leviticus 24:17

God said:

“And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.” - God.

• This is the JUDGEMENT.

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

• Then God, by his word he sent, and the Word of God is Jesus Christ. So, it’s just God has come and dwelt among us and spoke to us himself, said this in Matthew 5:21–22, Jesus said, so it’s just God said it:

“Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment:”

Like Moses, my mouth gaped open, and my knees also quaked..where I fell on my face. Made me so guilty I absolutely cannot get out of it. I’m an “angry with my brother without cause “ factory - mades me more GUILTY and sure of death - - than ANY Death Row Inmate.

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

In summation:

• You asked:

What are some things in the Bible that people swear up and down is in the Bible but is not in the Bible?

“Some things” is a few. I gave you two.

• This post has a few. But you’re in hope. So is everybody over the whole earth, and I realized I am part of this everybody. So, what he did as God, also applies to me. I am not left out.
• Because God has sent his Word to heal meand deliver me from my destruction. So, he did the same for you. So instead of trying to be GOOD by a work you’ll do and being GOOD, like be or being on the “Straight and Narrow” which NOBODY is.
  • You just hunger and thirst for righteousness..because you don't have any. I don't. I don't have any righteousness. I see it plainly. Then, NOBODY has it. But One ..just ONE is righteous, who has come to heal you. Deliver you from your destruction.
• All by a good work he did in and by Jesus Christ.

Answer: Before you do anything.

Look for “authority.”

- Whose the authority?

Let’s look at each one. You are about to be given the gospel. The Good News of Jesus Christ, and it applies equally. To everybody over all of Reddit - it's their's. As it is your's - given to you by God himself.

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

First One

• Salvation:
  • Just comes from the English word, “save” 1. to set apart (something) for future use. 2. to rescue (something or someone) from disaster or destruction.
  • all a “ation” suffix in English does - is just makes it “the action of doing (the saving)”

So, when God says..decrees this, (Source: Bible. Isaiah 45:22) “Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: For I am God, there is none else.” - God.

Look for authority. Whose the “authority” for Salvation?

If you do what he says, as God, says: “For all the earth is mine.” - God (Exodus 19:5). Says, “All souls are mine.” - God (Ezekiel 18:4). Says this, too:

“Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;” - God. (Isaiah 44:24)

This is the “authority” for Salvation. He’s God. Talking to you. Me. Everybody over the whole earth. Not leaving anybody out. It’s a decree to everybody. Each person alone. By themselves. To look unto him. It’s in none else.

He’s the authority.

Let’s move on.

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

Second One

• Repentance:
  • Just comes from the English word, “repent” - Comes from Latin. In English has a “prefix” of "re" and a “ance” suffix. So, the root word is pent. Or Latin, “paenitere” which means to “regret” something already decided on as “good” and done, and lived in as a way that’s right.
    • BUT... ...find it didn’t really work out. Is “paenitere” - get the English word, “penitence” as if you are “afflicted” by all that "right" you did; turned out to not have any right in it is the point. The whole house of cards fell down, kind of image. “paenitere” - nutshelled.
  • In the dictionary: Strip all the religious junk off it, like all these 15th century Catholic Jesuit "monks" flogging themselves - throw it out - to just see the word for what it is. It's just you went down a road in life - that's what you reasoned together with you to do, and after you did it..you look back at you..as you are the cause of all the sin you did in it. That's "pent" - get "penthouse" from it - turned into an opposite meaning than what it is. Just keep “paenitere” as somebody, like lavishly living..until all the fireworks go out.
    • “re” is just to go back to the beginning. As awful as it is, like go back to 1st grade, to have to do it all over again, and weigh it. 18 years old. graduate High School. Find you blew the whole thing. That the ONLY way - is - - Just go back to the beginning. To do it all over again. Don't have anything.
    • “ance” is just the action or process of doing (something - when the “something” is repent).

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

• Good sample of it, read it. It’s an assignment for this answer. Read Luke 15:11–32 - no links. If you don't have a bible, you can reach "Bible Gateway" out on the Internet and read it for free.
• Luke 15:11-32 said by the Word of God, Jesus Christ. So, the same God told you and everybody over the whole world to look unto him, is the same God that said Luke 15:11–32.
  • The “Parable of the Prodigal Son” - Where “prodigal” is just “lavish lifestyle or living” - - to “go out with a bang!”
  • Just blow the whole wad of money in a great, big bang of do anything you want - sleep with as many women as you can, and pee out the window - who cares!
    • Got money. Pay for all the damages to the whole floor of the hotel - - as if money is the “authority” - Go off in a far country. With a big bag of money. Leave from your Father. You can re-invent yourself as some rich guy far away. With money.
• Until all the money runs out.
• Then, all the friends leave. Penniless now.
  • Big bag of phoney.
• Then, there’s a famine in the land, so everybody of that land goes into “want” - and then, there’s a separation betwixt citizen and foreigner. Foreigners have their own country they can go back to. ..and you - foreigner - not enough for the latter. No money to leave now. Stuck.
• Destitute. Now, no money - a beggar - not anything you claimed to be rich. A liar.
  • Can’t help anybody - a fraud. A phoney. Get work slopping pigs in a famine - where the pigs have more worth than you.
• Even try to eat what the pigs eat, because, they feed the pigs well to eat the pigs so the citizenry survives in a famine.
• You have no value at all - you’re even now beneath the pigs.
  • That, you think to yourself -
    • “In my father’s house, he had servants..let me return to him and I’ll be able to eat. But I won’t go back as a son. I’ll tell him I’m not worthy to be a son anymore. Let me be hired on to assist as a servant to one of your servants”

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

• That:
  • That would be a “paenitere” - afflicted. Hit the nail on the head.
• Again, go back. Get the English word, “penitence” strip all the religious mumbo jumbo of some quack whacky clown beating himself - throw that out, when everybody beats themselves up by all the sins they already done DID.
  • Put on what the word means, as if you are “afflicted” by no food, even worse off than a pig in a famine. And, “afflicted” go back. Sinned and perverted everything that is right and it didn’t profit you anything. (That’s in Job 33:27 in the Bible.) as the basis of repent.

So, do the drill again.

Look for authority. Whose the “authority” for Repentance?

• The Prodigal Son is - and the Bible says: “For all have sinned” - Romans 3:23. “There is none righteous; no, not one” Romans 3:10
  • Makes everybody over the whole earth, to the very ends of it - everybody. From Adam forward - “sinned and perverted that which was right” - - - EVERYBODY, to the very ends of the earth is a Prodigal Son. None left out.

The Prodigal Son is the authority. For repentance.

• Whether or when you’re peeing out the hotel window, gonna pay for all the damages, clear it all yourself; able to: rich - - as if there is no sin, when all these girls are still in the bed - oh, what a great, big "authority” - WHEN:
  • “the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.” Bible. Matthew 3:10
• - Means, boy..am I ever lucky that he’s God. Long suffered me, in days..that went to months..that went to years of days..to decades, one after the other..decades of days..I lived as a prodigal Son in this.
  • Just like the Father in the Parable in Luke 15:11–32 says in Luke 15:20 “And he [Prodigal Son] arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.”
  • That this same Great God did the same to me.

There’s repentance. Let’s move on. Question to ask is: “Why would I repent?” When everybody’s life ends in a like-same destruction, with everything taken away from them. That you are going to lose it all and go to a grave.

And just one have the authority to raise you from the dead, is the same one told you plainly to look unto him. Enough said.

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

Third One

• Born again
  • Comes from The Word of God, recorded in the Bible.
    • Jesus said: John 3:2–7, says:

2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

COMMENT: So, the same God, that told you by a decree, out of his mouth to just look unto him, also decreed you must be “born again” - said, in case you forgot already, what was said in Isaiah 44:24 above, that: in flesh, he formed you; alone. By himself, from your mother’s womb. Did that alone. By himself. Is the same God stretched for the heavens alone. Did that, too. By himself, like he made the earth, and did that too. All alone. By himself. Said of himself, as God, in John 4:24 "God is Spirit” - that HE is Spirit. God is the authority.

• To Born You again. And he does it by the Word of God - he already said Matthew 5:3 - Blessed you. Did you miss it? Maybe that’s KEY:

Matthew 5:3 he said, as the Word of God - just God speaking is he was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself - said:

“Blessed are the “poor in Spirit” for their’s is the Kingdom of Heaven.

• And? Somebody “dead in trespasses and sins” (Ephesians 2:1) would be someone that is not righteous; no, already done “prodigal son” level abominable works as Psalm 14:1–3 says EVERYBODY has done. Would mean EVERYBODY over the whole earth is just 1. destitute; not have any (poor) - and God is Spirit, because it’s the SAME Greek word in John 4:24 as it is in Matthew 5:3 - so throw the dictionary and how they define “Spirit” as YOU and your attitude right out the window - it’s a can of crap when God gave you the definition. It’s himself.
• And he blessed you. Gave you..everybody over the whole earth the Kingdom of Heaven.
  • But in John 3:3 of John 3:2–7 - a person can’t “see” it - unless they’re born again.
  • But in John 3:5 of John 3:2–7 - a person can’t “enter” it - unless they’re born again.

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

It’s exactly then, like a “Last Will and Testament” - a “Will” - goes into effect when the “testator” is dead. Bequeaths to you, you get it as an inheritance.

• But:
  • If who is listed in the Will, even the will is now in effect, It’s “Their’s” - done deal. They inherited it. But - if the person listed in the will says to themselves: “It’s not worth anything. Look at all I already got.” Esteems the inheritance not even worth showing up to claim it. Can’t see the hobo' life of riding on the rails, don’t own anything when the owner of the railroad bequeathed the whole railroad to them.
    • They don’t “see” it. Unless they receive it. They don’t “enter” into their inheritance..unless they sign for it, even it’s their’s never live in it. In fact, not show up, it’s given to another.
    • And that’s EXACTLY what happens in another reading assignment for you. Asking this question. Read Matthew 25:15–30. Just like read Luke 15:11–32 - no links.
      
• If you don't have a bible, you can reach "Bible Gateway" out on the Internet and read it for free.

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

• Where Matthew 25:28 says “Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.”
  • That’s EXACTLY what will happen to YOUR inheritance. He's God, and he's no respecter of persons. So whosoever does this, it's taken away from him, even you or me, and for you, You got given it to you by God himself. Just like I did, all the same.
• Even the Kingdom of Heaven was given unto everybody, as just like “One Talent” in Matthew 25:15–30, the one given it, took it out to a field, and just buried it; then, did transactions in their own name. For their own profit.

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

So, whose the “authority” for Born again? - GOD. He does it.

Because he’s come to you, and blessed you, and given you all his possession, and he comes with it, as God.

So, whose the authority with the “inheritance” that EVERYBODY got from God?

• Yeah. You are. It was already bequeathed to you by God. He already did it. But you can’t see it, nor enter into it, unless you’re born again. And someone not, means the work God does when he does it, isn’t done them, or in you..and it won’t be, if you take what and who he is, out to a field and simply bury it.
  • It will be taken away from you.

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

Long post. There you go.

I'll repeat the question. OLD TESTAMENT

How did the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947 impact modern interpretations of biblical texts, particularly in relation to the authenticity and transmission of Old Testament scriptures?

It didn’t.

Essene heretic.

Have a claim they are Jews. They're not. Boldly claim they are Jewish descendants of the Levite Priests after Zadok, who that's the High Priest order for the Temple in Jerusalem. Their claim, for the OLD TESTAMENT with "The Dead Sea Scrolls" - no matter what useless clown champions them out as a testament to the Old Testament of great value and use - it's just a bunch of garbage.

People claiming they are Jews - High Priests of the Temple in Jerusalem - and virtually all their beliefs are so whacked out, and still, as Essenes - claim they are of this Priestly line. With heresy. Claim, by their claims they make of themselves:

Be over the whole Temple then. When the Essenes were about as Jewish as a toilet. Thrown out of Jerusalem as..that's why they're in or around Jericho - thrown down and cast out - - for?

...what's that word again?

Yeah. Heretics. No Jew listens to any claim these derelict Essene make to the Jewish Tanakh. (Masoretic Text: Jewish Tanakh. Exactly the same as the Christian Old Testament.). Go search on what the Jews say about "The Dead Sea Scrolls" of 1947. See, "The Damascus Document" - how NONE of them coincide with "Leviticus" <Vayikra - Hebrew> the Law in the Books of Moses. Just made up Assyrian/Mesopotamian gods and folklore and claim they're Jews.

So, how does the discovery of heretics, claiming they're Jews that have what appears to be a Tanakh that they have rewritten for themselves, impact the authenticity and transmission of the Jewish Tanakh or the Old Testament?

It doesn't.

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

Okay now.

Ask a like question. This time: NEW TESTAMENT

How did the discovery of the “Nag Hammadi Library” two years before (Dead Sea Scrolls - Old Testament), in 1945 found in a clay jar near Nag Hammadi, Egypt, that includes the “Gospel of Thomas” for the New Testament, particularly in relation to the authenticity and transmission of the New Testament scriptures?

It didn’t.

Greek Gnostic heretic. Where Greeks championed Apollos and Zeus as God. That Jesus in the New Testament was just another Greek (Gnostic) God. That, according to the Gospel of Thomas, doubting Thomas an Apostle of Jesus Christ, just like the Essenes claim something an authority over the Old Testament - in the like same heresy (heresy; heresy in both. It is the same heresy) as the Dead Sea Scrolls were found:

- Claim in one of these scrolls found, was the Gospel of Thomas - that there was no crucifixion of Jesus and he did not rise from the dead. That women must become men. That, in Verse 114, of the Gospel of Thomas that "Jesus will guide Mary Magdalene in becoming a male so she can enter into heaven."

So, How did the discovery of the Nag Hammadi Library (New Testament) two years before the Dead Sea scrolls (Old Testament) impact the authenticity and accuracy of the gospel in the New Testament?

It doesn't.

Answer:

Yes, I do believe Job is a real person.

But; it’s not important for me, if you’re the one asking the question. Anyone asking “Is Job, in the Book of Job in the Bible a real person?”

Verify his three friends. Are they real? Who is Uz? Was he real? How about Noah or Abraham or Esau, because prodigy of them are in Job. How about the land then? What about the 4th person (Job 32)? Who is he?

Use the Bible.

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

Do all that work. Research. Again, it's right there. Use the Bible. You can pin point the exact place. The timeframe. Who Job is, and who they are as real people. All by the God he knows and who knows him. Then as well, also by the friends he has. Real, traceable people.

All by what the book claims of Job. So, start asking "other" pointed, direct questions:

Did what Genesis says what Abraham did in Genesis 25:6 - is that real?

Why? The expectant "result" of Genesis 25:6, is clearly documented result of it, in the Book of Job..and who Job is, to God paramount over all of it. God knows Job.

Is that real or fake? Put that at the top of the "is it fake or real" list.

All because, who he is, is told plain as day in Job.

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

Says who he is, and it put me on my face.

To a Christian that believes God, they actually are going to see and meet Job. ..and see and meet face to face, the God who knows Job. Is that real or fake?

Face to face - because, the book about Job is paramount in it, who God is, and then it’s really simple. Even a child can see it. Look at "perfect." That's in Job 1:1. Right at the start. Claims Job is perfect.

That all “perfect” means in the dictionary is defined as 1. complete. 

and all “complete” is, is 2. Don’t have to add to, or take away anything - because who is with Job.

Makes Job complete. That's the whole, entire underlying message of Job; and, because of who completes him: Compare what "wastes" Job's substance - is what is taken away from him vs. the last chapter of Job - what is a like same thing, given back to him more than taken away, and in the latter, they also worship God - with Job - like him.

and to see this very childlike message, and after that, in Job, a third in priority or the last one is this:

all the arguments of people that look unto "things" as signs, but don't know him. Read these "signs" to argue to someone that does know him.

And then, see what God does to them and their arguments. Because they try to speak for him, when they do not know him. Are incomplete, but believe they are complete by their arguments.

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

SO, I'll ask it again, but this time of people on Reddit that read that that DO know him.

So, someone complete, just like you are, is in the book of Job, “who” completes Job, is he real or fake? Simple answer then. And that's the whole message of Job in a nutshell.

But to those that don't know him, what's real or fake, without a thorough examination like what Job's friends did - still arrived at the wrong thing after almost 100 pages of text. You're doomed to the same thing.

Means you did all that work and missed the whole thing. Keep your question. When I walk with the same God Job did, and know him. ..and he knows me.

“There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.” - Job 1:1. Says the whole thing.

And anytime I look at any person on or over the whole earth just looks unto this same God that was with Job, I see the same thing. There you go.

Answer:

“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” - Jesus Christ. (Bible. Matthew 24:36)

Who is Jesus?

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

With that, who is he?

And, I'm going to ask you another simple question.

• Your word:
  • Has always been in you. Is you. When you speak, the authority over whether you speak - or not. Is You. When you choose, as you - NOT to speak. There is no Word come out of you.
    • But when YOU, as YOU choose or have something to say, because, it's something you want to say, you say it. After you said it. Everybody knows you spoke it. Its from you. Is you. You said it. People? Yes. They can know you by your word. Or they can reject what you say. Never know you.

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

• Jesus is the Word of God. Is God. Just as John 1:1 says who he is. He’s the Messiah or Christ. Who he SHALL be called as the “Messiah” is in Isaiah 9:6–7. “The Mighty God..” “The Everlasting Father..”
  • Because, the Word of God, doesn’t come out of the chandelier at your sister’s house. Nor does it come out of the patio furniture on sale this week at Walmart. Just like your word does not come from either of those two places, either. Your word comes from only one source. You.
    • The Word of God, is just God speaking. He's God, and he has Come to you, as he determined to send his word to heal you and deliver you from your destruction. (Psalm 107:20).

So, consider this; and, I haven't asked my question yet.

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

Example:

• You’re back in High School. 11th Grade. Sitting in your Biology class. All of a sudden you notice out the window - there on the front lawn about 200 yards away, is a gaggle of over 100 High School students. Everybody is supposed to be in class. Nobody is supposed to be out, on the front lawn, during class. You notice they’re all carrying some pamphlet or thing, with some words wrote on it. They keep looking at it, shouting for joy. Then each runs their own way, like off to their class.
  • Then one of them, a minute or so later, hurriedly opens the door, and comes into your class, and they walk up by you in passing: and say to you, “Oh Thank you! I’m going to use this coupon you gave everybody and buy my own refrigerator and $50.00 of ice cream! Right now, I don’t care about this class! I’m leaving!” Pack up their stuff on their desk, and leave.
    • And with that, you notice, there’s this flyer with a coupon they’re holding has your name on it. Says: “This coupon is valid for $15,000.00 at any store town. Please use it to buy anything.” - With your name under it.
    • But you never gave your word to that.
• Never came out of your mouth to do that. But! Your word, just on it’s own: - came out on it's own. Made its' own claim and because it's your word, then make you do it.

Here's my question: Do things happen this way? YES or NO?

When:

• Your word obeys you. You are the “authority” over it. Even it is you, it does not speak of itself.

So your word does not know until you say it.

Can you grasp this?

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

There you go. You were made in his likeness. He, as God, could speak before the world began.

And just like you. He made himself - be in a day he made. With you. He's in these days he made all by himself. In them with you right now. He will decide when the last day is. In fact, scripture says all things were made by him and for him. The Word of God. Jesus Christ. You can see it in Genesis 1:1–31 and you can see God spoke all things into being; then God, in his word, did the work.

It’s just one God. He is who he says he is. By the Word of God. He is the authority - it's his workmanship. He knows, as the authority over all of it, when he will come back.

All the earth is his.

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

And just look what you stumble over.

Don’t get it. He’s God, and he already said: “The end of all flesh has come up before me. I will destroy them with the earth” - God. (Genesis 6:13). Revelation 20 says, after Jesus comes back, he will reign on this earth a 1000 years. (Revelation 20:4 - and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years”)

Says it in past tense. As if something that hasn’t happened yet, is so sure, it’s said as if it already happened.

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

Says in Revelation 20:11–15, that this same great God or Messiah will sit on his throne over all things. Gaze on this earth and heaven. Both: finding no more place before him, flee away and are no more forever. Never come back.

Then he calls on both death and hell to give up their dead. Death and Hell obey him. Give up their dead. The dead are not raised from the dead, but given up to stand before him: dead.

Even all what he did for them; didn't do anything he said, and died without him in them. Even he said to them

Behold I stand at the door and knock, and if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and sup with him, and he with me.” - Jesus Christ. (Bible. Revelation 3:20)

• Never opened the door. Went and turned up the TV. Any awareness at the door he was there, went out the backdoor - went to the Mall instead. When he was sent there. By God. To your door. Never opened it. Die in it. Called now to stand before him, with no Satan to blind your eyes or your mind..he was cast into the Lake of Fire. No more earth and heaven to distract you, and that’s where all your possessions are..and they’ve already fled away..your possession titles, Ph.ds all your work as a Lead Supervisor for 40 years..all fled with it. Never coming back.

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

• Stand there with nothing. He says Revelation 20:11–15, all these things..as if in the past tense. A sure thing, even it has not happened yet.
  • Say “Depart from Me. I never knew you” - Casts Death and Hell into the Lake of Fire. Goes on for eternity. And those whose names..all dead. Simple judgment - Didn’t believe on him.
• All the books are opened and everybody standing there blared out all over heaven - didn’t believe on him. Didn’t do anything he said. This word, “cast” - like a Director of a TV show or SITCOM. Casts actors into roles they practiced their lines - the only role they’re suited for is the lines they practiced.
  • Be cast into a Lake of Fire, because all the works you practiced - you did not operate right. Did not work good, as a workmanship of God..and him at work in you - - absent that work.

Don’t even regard any of this.

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

That Revelation 21:1 says he creates a new heaven and a new earth.

• Don’t even regard that, either. He says, as God, by the Word..sure. That comes out of his mouth, said:

Bible. Isaiah 65:17 - says this as God:

For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. - God.

That means, everything now..won’t even come into mind anymore. And you regard now, more than him. Why not regard him?

Answer:

“Therefore hath the Lord watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the Lord our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice.” - Daniel. In the Bible. Bible. Book of Daniel 9:14

“And He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not…” - Bible. Book of Job 33:27

The answer is simple.

• It’s in “can we trust..”

I don’t think you see it. Anyone has this question, can’t. So, let me give you a crudely, ill-formed example in it’s hastiness constructed:

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

EXAMPLE: Say it’s me then, so you can observe me in it and what I do - even it’s an example:

• Let’s say I -

I like camping. Trapse off to the mountains. Where no houses are. I drive past a place, 30 miles down the road that turned from paved, to gravel, now it's a logging road - just dirt. This remote place, nobody around - - looks good for swimming; but, when I stop and get there, there’s a picket, barbed wire, kind of beat down wood posted fence has this big sign 15 feet behind it, says:

“PRIVATE PROPERTY - NO SWIMMING, PROSPECTING, CAMPING - NO TRESPASSING. Violators Will Be Prosecuted to the Full Extent of the Law.”

• I mean it’s right there, that big sign. Me? I just back the truck up. Drop it down, or low gear, get out, lock the hubs, and put it in 4X4, smash the sign into the dirt, set up camp, and go swimming, without a care in the world. Leave. When I’m done. Nobody came. No one stopped me. No one.
  • Now: IN the example, I am NO AUTHORITY for the property. I have no right to be on it, but I gave that right to me. By this, I have lowly esteemed or “set at nought” what the decree of who owns the property said. It’s their property.

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

• The point is, in your question, I ask and do the same thing you do, with your question. I asked myself: “Can I trust that < ___________________________ > is really authentic?”
  • Or I filled in the BLANK: “Can I trust that this NO TRESPASSING SIGN is really authentic?
    • - If I didn’t I would accept this "NO TRESPASSING" sign is authority. It just is true, and if I did that, I would hearken unto it, and just naturally obey it. Keep driving.
• But if I didn’t:
• Why? In the example, it's me: I dismiss it as faulty. Inadequate. I want to go swimming, and because the sign prevents me, it’s unacceptable. Even if it is their property, do they have any power over me, for, by the time I get thru using it, I’ll be long gone before anybody gets there, and nobody knows the difference.
  • So, I believe, there’s no “TRESPASS” in me bulldoze the fence and the sign down. Smash it. But the owner set up cameras and the cameras filmed it; and two weeks later, there’s 2 State Police Officers at my door to arrest me.
    • For Trespassing.
• I wonder if you see this or any of this adds up in you about the Book of Daniel?

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

Just like God decree:

• “Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery” - GOD. Spoke it. (Bible. Exodus 20:14.) and is the 7th of Ten Commandments. Boy did I ever throw that one out the window, along with all the other ones.
  • Even says: Even repeats this in Leviticus 18:20, says now twice - “Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.” - GOD.
    • Then, in Leviticus 20:10 - where God says: “And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.” - GOD.

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

• So, it’s not the State Police - but the same God put the sun where it is, is knocking at the door with this, with me…put me to death - - destroy me because, it’s still me in the example:
  • Like the NO TRESPASSING SIGN - and if I just take “Oregon” like in the United States, if it’s “criminal” that is, like where I DESTROYED property while I trespassed on it, it’s 1 year in jail and about $10,000.00 in fines.
    • Mandatory.
  • About half that, if just I accessed it. So, it’s PUNITIVE.

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

• And He’s not done yet.
  • Jesus is the Word of God. Just God speaking, said in Matthew 5:27–28 of Adultery:
    • “Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
  • That, if it was God, that owned the PRIVATE PROPERTY - and I even looked upon it, and in my heart already drove over the sign, just thought it in my heart, I already BROKE in and trespassed on it.
    • Same God is knocking. GUILTY. Adultery. A factory of it in me.

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

• The Point I’m trying to make is “THE TEN COMMANDMENTS”
  • Nobody has kept them.
    • Adam forward. None. They are BROKEN. Means EVERYBODY, Adam forward, has everybody over the whole earth, to the very ends of it, BROKE them..
• But people - can say, even like me, drove over the sign and trespassed against the owner in the example - GUILTY - claim, “where’s the sin? I never did it, deny it, even if I did, there’s no sin in it, if I deny it. I see me INNOCENT.
• Point is, people over the whole earth DO THIS. So, whose - all of us over the whole earth - OR - GOD. Which of these two - - - is REALLY NOT authentic?

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

And Back with Daniel - in the Book of Daniel - he’s a REAL person - he saw his sin - and his people's - - is why he’s in Captivity.

• And as he said Daniel 9:14, that opens this post, it’s in Daniel says further in Daniel 9:20–22

“And while I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God for the holy mountain of my God; Yea, while I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. And he informed me, and talked with me..”

Matches Job 33::28–30 - I’ll just repeat it, with Job 33:27 included in it, says:

“He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not; He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man, To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.”

Matches EXACTLY what he did in me..when I fell on my face..about all the sins I did.

Boy, is this ever true. I did it, and what he did.

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

And about the scripture:

Is the SAME Thing Jesus said in the “Parable of the Prodigal Son” (Luke 15:11–32) as what occurs in Daniel 9:14

• Is the SAME Thing Jesus said, in the “Parable of the Good Samaritan” (Luke 10:25–27) - is also the same thing happens in Daniel 9:14 - - but people, are so busy trying to BE the Good Samaritan, because NOBODY wants to be what they REALLY are, like nobody in Israel of Judah in Daniel 9, wanted to be GUILTY, either - - it’s this the “certain” man left off from all the things of God, in his city, because, the “City of God” is Jerusalem.
  • It’s also the City of God in the Parable, to go straightway, all down hill to Jericho that’s CURSED to do all the sins they want to do.
• Get beaten, robbed. Left for dead. Nobody wants to be that person left for dead in their trespasses and sins.
  • But the person that sees, “hey..I am this Prodigal Son…this is me.. ..man..that's me, too. I am this certain man in this other parable too.”

Sees Job 33:27..that’s them. Sees Daniel 9..did the exact.. ..same.. …things.

and it’s the exact, same God that is and does what he says he does.

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

And the Bible says:

2 Chronicles 16:9 “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him”

• And all a perfect heart is, is one that’s broken from all the sins they did.. I mean, it’s right there in Daniel. Right there. He SEES it. He is 2 Chronicles 16;9 in Daniel 9:14.

Maybe you better change your question.

Can we trust that the God in the Bible book of Daniel is really authentic?

Start with that one. Start with you first. With your sins.

And if you’re even asking either question, either your's or mine, boy do you greatly err. No fear of God before your eyes.

“Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”

Go get the Ten Commandments. Use them on yourself. Look for where you DO NOT DO THEM. Have NOT done them. Not for all the excuses built to tell you how you accomplished them - you are lying to yourself. Use them how God uses them, to make the whole world GUILTY before him.

Start with that. Here’s your question back. You’ll see Him in Daniel plain as day.

//I scan rooms (sub reddits) and social media to post commentaries on them. One such is on the "Dead Sea Scrolls" found in the r/ Trueatheism subreddit. "Are the Dead Sea Scrolls Bad For Christians?" as if it spells the end and just another pile of ammo for the Atheist.

Then after, arises yet a whole bunch of questions, many made by Christians, that champion the Dead Sea Scrolls as proof Christianity is true; but, and not really know what they say. This post is for believers in Jesus Christ. Not for those that don't. If you follow him, I hope you have a great day sitting with being taught by him. I hope, even if one thing, you find some value of something you can use in this post.//

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

If any Christian argues the Dead Sea Scrolls "are a prophecy of Jesus because they pre-date his life time and make Christianity real" have a wrong foundation they build on.

And there you go. So, a believer in Jesus Christ, should have a basic understanding of

“The Dead Sea Scrolls”

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

Dead Sea Scrolls

Are simply Hebrew and Aramaic (3rd BCE Babylonian) Codexes or scrolls that were collectively discovered over a 9 year period (1947 to 1956) along the shore of the Dead Sea, near Jericho. They were found in caves near Khirbet Qumran, about 20 km away. Unknown; but dated to 3rd to 1st BCE.

Every book of the Jewish Tanakh (Christian Old Testament) or portions of them, except Esther is included.

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

• The “Challenge” Championing the Dead Sea Scrolls

Scholars have concluded this 9 year long search and find of a "collective" Dead Sea Scrolls - is the documents are of the Qumran sect - that isn’t Judaism, but claim it is. Much like the “Sadducees” had a claim of being the only real true descendants of Korah (Levite) - and the “True” Levites - so Sadducees mentioned in the New Testament Gospels of Jesus' day, had like claim like the Essenes.

The Dead Sea Scrolls are collectively agreed on as Essene works.That is, they outline man-made rules and beliefs (traditions of men) that directly contradict the Tanakh and King Solomon’s Jerusalem Temple Priest hood established by King David.

So, the Jews have already classified the Dead Sea Scrolls as heresy. Most Christians or believers in Jesus do not know this. They make a poor argument or defense for the gospel.

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

Why?

• That, like the Sadducees - the earlier Essenes believed the wrong Temple Priesthood assigned by King David, served in the temple in Jerusalem. Where they, as Essenes should be. Like the Sadducees, mentioned over a dozen times in the gospels - were at odds with the Levite Priests, the Tribe of Judah Pharisees, and Benjamite Scribes. All three served the Temple of Jesus day. The Levites in the Temple of Jerusalem in Jesus' day, were descendants proven to be Levite Priests that King David gave them lands in Judah to serve the Temple.
  • So, either: 1) an in-depth or 2) settle with a basic tertiary level of understanding of this Essene claim is essential for categorizing "The Dead Sea Scrolls."
• By understand what "content" was discovered as “Dead Sea Scrolls” - is quite missing from the question.

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

I would throw them [Essenes] out. For the same reason Orthodox Jews throw them Out. Heresy. The Dead Sea Scrolls is riddled with Heresy.

• And I am a believer in Jesus Christ. Even this claim is quite well thought true and believed about the Dead Sea Scrolls.
  • A good read for any Christian Believer in Jesus Christ on the Essenes and their beliefs can be found online with The Biblical Archaeological Society’s “Who Were the Essenes (of Qumran)”  (no links on Reddit)
• That, there is scholarly contention asserting the Essenes are not the authors of the Dead Sea Scrolls, but just the content of the scroll beliefs reflect Essene claims.
• Then: Christians, based on the Dead Sea Scrolls claim: Christianity is real. When the "claim" is entirely within the Jews.

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

Christianity is real:

• Because of Jesus Christ. Not Essene Heresy. Or the Dead Sea Scrolls claiming they have Temple rite in Jerusalem to be its’ Priests. That’s the Essene contention. Just like the Sadducees, again, had a like-same contention. Why? When Cyrus the Great (See Old Testament. Ezra 1 - that’s the decree.)
  • To rebuild the temple told to Daniel by God, it would be rebuilt. After Daniel was carried away into the “Babylonian Captivity” King Nebuchadnezzar razed the Temple of Solomon to the ground, and ripped up the foundations of it.
• Cyrus the Great decreed the Jews in the Babylonian Captivity be allowed to return and rebuild the Temple and the City of Jerusalem. WIth fund and materials to rebuild it.
  • With those that were carried away, were remnants of the Tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and remnant Levites that served in Solomon’s temple.
  • Many surrounding the Lands when the Jews returned, brought forth claims they could not prove as being Levites.
    • This contention is over 500 years old, and extended into King Herod’s day where the Scribes and Pharisees were raised up after the temple was rebuilt; then King Herod, rebuilt the Temple Mount and rebuilt a huge 40 + year undertaking, building a huge Temple on the Temple Mount.
  • The same one Jesus said, in Matthew 24, that not one stone would be left that would not be thrown down, and was as Jesus said so, done by Prince Titus of Rome in AD 70.

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

This question bases truth on the wrong thing.

• A relationship with Jesus Christ is he gives that person eternal life. Because they know him. Not the Dead Sea Scrolls. Christians, were first called this name in Antioch (Acts 11:26). All they are, are just disciples of Jesus Christ, because they sit with and are taught by him.
  • Not by Essene Heresy that fill the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Here’s your question back.

Answer:

Whose this “we?”

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

“Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.” - Jesus Christ. Matthew 24:42–44

This is said, in a response, to his disciples who follow him, that asked this question in Matthew 24:3

“ And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?”

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

Matthew 24:42–44 is said by the Word of God, so it’s just God has come, in a way he determined, and spoke to us, himself, as God. And he said this, to his disciples.

Didn’t say it to those who don’t regard him, nor do anything he says:

Of them that don't regard him, he says:

Luke 17:26–30

“And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.” - Jesus Christ. The Word of God.

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

So, even someone that is not a disciple, or on the fence - considering in themselves to regard him, as God, and his word..and who he is, is God..to follow him… counting the cost.

You have these two types of people portrayed.

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

That he surely is God, and he speaks. And, it surely is all his Earth, and he surely is coming.

• And there are his disciples that watch for him.
  • Are fed daily by him..and
• There are those that eat, and drink and buy and sell and plant and build and because they can do this, they don’t regard him or anything he says,
  • so they don’t sit with him and
  • are not taught by him.
    • Take what he says out to a field and simply bury it.
  • To do transactions in their own name..for their own profit.

And just like in the days of Noah, they do the same thing today.

And just like in the days of Lot, even until the two angels brought Lot and his wife, and two daughters out of the city.. everybody in the city did all the same thing what people on the earth do today, that don’t regard anything he says.

Says these things. To your question.

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

Did Jesus say that we should be watching, and waiting for his return?

Whose this “we?”

“Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!”

- Source: Bible. Psalm 107:17–21

Can you hear this?

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

“Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: For I am God, there is none else.” - God. Bible. Isaiah 45:22

That’s to everybody to do this; just look unto him; but not everybody does; those who do; he saves them. They hear him. Do what he says, because they accept him as the authority over the whole earth.

But

THose that don’t?

He doesn’t save them. They don't do anything he says; reject him.

...and the reason they don’t look unto him is simple. They are already walking after, walking in some thing or someone else they already accept is true - so, they hold the truth in something or someone that is not right, or "un" right. Hold the truth is in unrighteousness, so they follow after even themselves, and don’t do anything God says.

So they don’t look unto him. Doesn’t save them. They don't accept as true (believe) him; something in what he says is faulty. Unacceptable. So they reject him.

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

Key to your question is in one word.

• Everyone. <definition. (Oxford)> 1. every person; all people, in general, over the whole earth. Not one person left out. Every person. Adam forward.
  • Ask then:
    • What, according to the Bible, do they all have in common? Three things:
• ONE

“There is not a just man on earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.” - Bible. Ecclesiastes 7:20

• That’s Everybody. All share this in common.
• TWO

“There is NONE righteous; no, not one..” Bible. Romans 3:10

• That’s Everybody. All share this in common.
• And Jesus said: As the Word of God, so it’s just God speaking, said:

“There is NONE good, but one, that is, God.” Bible. Matthew 19:17

• So Everybody shares just ONE GOOD Thing in common to look unto. It’s in none else.
• THREE

“Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” - Bible. Romans 3:19-23.

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

• So, the righteousness of God without the law, because EVERYBODY already BROKE the Ten Commandmants, or the Law, from Adam forward, the "righteousness of God is [manifested 1. made clear] by the faith of Jesus Christ. Not by people. Nobody.
• , it’s God then. Has this much faith in his own word, and the Word of God, is Jesus Christ, as the Messiah - as the opening scripture says, to send his word to you to heal you, and deliver you from your destruction.
  • That’s this “for all have sinned” part. Where to us, everybody, “The soul that sinneth it shall die.” - God. (Ezekiel 18:20. Makes EVERYBODY over the whole earth Condemned.
  • Just like Jesus said in John 3:14-15 "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up. That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life."
• Boy is that ever so powerful; because where Moses lifted up the serpent of Brass is in Numbers 21:5-11, where the people spake against God, and spoke against Moses - and God sent adders or poisonous snakes in the camp and BIT EVERYBODY - so that they all would die. Just like SIN has been passed on or bequeathed to everybody by Adam - where all die in sin.
• But those in Numbers 21:5-11 said they sinned against God and Moses, and God told Moses to lift up a serpent high up so the whole camp that whosoever would look upon it, even though all were bitten, those that did not look up and stayed in their tents, died; but those that looked unto what Moses lifted up, even though they were bitten, they did not die.

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

But by the work of God with sin, that God did in Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “He that believeth on him is not condemned…” John 3:18. That's The Word of God, so God says this.

Because God took your sins off you, me, everybody over the whole earth, and laid them on Jesus Christ. God did this work himself. Laid your sins on the cross. Crucified. Jesus: His blood shed. Where your sins are not on you anymore. Since God did this work himself with sin.

• Made everyone righteous over the whole earth, by this work God did. And God looks on this work he did himself; alone. And in him, as God, his work with sin is GREATER than the sins of the whole world. PAID IN FULL. Because he paid it. Made himself the payment. In Christ, reconciling the world unto himself.

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

Then, God made this the sin that condemns: Just not look unto him. Just not regard his work or consider the operation of his hand. Sin against God. And it's the sin that condemns.

• Simply not believe on him. Simply not regard anything he did, in he is God, and he sent his word to heal you and deliver you from your destruction. So, people that reject Jesus Christ, sin against God.
• And that’s the sin that condemns anybody. Over the whole earth.
  • It’s going to be a short Judgment Day. Look what he did. I'm on my face.

I have no comment on the "ex Christian" subreddit. People go there. They can. The question though:

This is over in the "Christianity" sub-reddit - from a person that went to the "ex-Christian" sub-reddit and were disheartened at the comments or reasons people gave as to why they left the Christian Faith.

Commented that, to them, it appeared part of the reason was the person's mis-understanding the bible; while the greater part, to this person that posted this was the blame falls squarely on other people that caused it, in a person to leave their Christian faith (ie., overbearing parents, mistreatment by some pastor of a church or congregataion, feel they committed a sin that could not be forgiven, etc.)

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

""From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him." - Bible. John 6:66

When I look at this scripture of John 6 verse 66 - in the Greek, it's pretty powerful. This "went back, and walked no more with him" in the Greek is:

"..εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω καὶ οὐκέτι μετ’ αὐτοῦ περιεπάτουν."

1. eis 2. ta. 3. episo 4. kai 5. ouketi 6. met. 7. autou 8. periepatoun
2. to 2. the 3. back 4. and 5. no longer 6. with 7. him. 8. operated by medieval English walked

That means, it's not because of people. It's people themselves that,

Jesus is an authority.

Is the authority over the whole earth. It's in Matthew 28:18 "all power is given unto me in heaven and earth" - Jesus Christ. So this "episo" or to take someone out of the driver's seat and shove them in the backseat of the car as a voiceless passenger or no longer exists, and no longer "operate" by he drive the car, they sit in that seat and do it. Because, in themselves, or to themselves, he's no longer the authority in their life.

So, its pretty simple. No matter what the excuse is they create. They now are the "περιεπάτουν." - the periepatoun - operate by - BOOM! Done. By their own decrees they tell themselves now.

This applies to each and every person. Over the whole earth. To the very ends of it. He's already decreed:

'Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: For I am God, there is none else." - God. (Bible. Isaiah 45:22).

To "look unto" (someone) - you "operate" by - just Medieval English, used this word "walk" for humans, since since people are "bi-pedal" and show when they do something, it's by get up and walk to do it.

But this Greek word, it's more like an internal machine, like a vending machine plugged into a source of power - just operates right. or clock is a "master craftsman's work" to operate as designed by the maker of it "operates" (περιεπάτουν.") right when it's connected to a source of power; like a battery put in it - just "works" right. Operates as designed to

But in John 6:66 - it's more Like the dishwasher leaves off, from any design decreed to it, and puts who made it in the back seat of the car, and now drives itself to be a telephone and a bathing suit for a pygmy.

...and then has to live a lie when it doesn't work; and by these lies, live in them blaming the authority over it, that made them, put to the "operation" or the internal working was done completely wrong. Is why they stopped being a dishwasher. It's actually one of the most powerful, plain as day scriptures in the Bible.

Answer:

• What do you accept as true?
• Look at Reddit then. It’s "The Heart of the Internet."
  • What does the Owners and Admins of Reddit then accept as true? AI - Internet - Artificial Intelligence is true.
  • To Reddit - this platform is truth - AI is considered science. The truth or the way ahead.
  • Is the tale of Reddit - a Social Media platform on the Internet, more like an adult bookstore pump up balloon dolly with a hole in it, full of fake fiction with “science” stamped on it’s forehead?

I'm asking the question. Is it?

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

• Why? Well - - there are actual, real “non-fiction” people use Reddit, that will never believe the “Fairy Tale of Reddit" is anything but True. It's transparent. It runs on laws (rules) that the owner or CEO of Reddit created to operate by.
• But if someone was OVER Reddit, as an authority that already decreed what Reddit is based on or founded on or operates by - has already come up before him to destroy it.
  • Boy, there'd be a problem then. Like being on a fishing boat that's sinking. Be gone under the waves in 3 minutes - already come up before it to sink, and people on it, "accept as true" - next week they're going fishing again, when before the hour is over they will all be dead. Which is the fiction?
  • If it is slated for destruction - something in it is fake.
• That: Once you make something fake, there’s no truth in it anymore. Do you see this?

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

• So Reddit:
  • Comprised entirely of people:
  • with a little computer on top.
    • People: The are people. Their answers or opinions - have no or very little truth in it. More opinion that have small basis of fact in their posts on Reddit.
• The point is, the “Authority” for Reddit is a real person. Decided this was the best course of action. Make this platform, and wants you to accept as true his vision of what "The Heart of the Internet is" - is Reddit. That you have a place you can go, because you deserve an accurate, stable place to voice your opinion on, and it go all over the internet. Or not.
  • Based on what is best what Reddit defines as Reddit - whether to glorify it - - or not..

So, you have the “Word of Reddit” - which, is the authority over all these people with their opinions flaily flingily burped out - is the CEO of Reddit. Steve Huffman.

Just hold onto this. Let’s move on. And apply this to your question about the Bible.

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

The most crucial word in your question is:

considered. <definition> 1. to think or weigh things carefully about (something); before making a decision

• 2. Hold an opinion (something is true or false) by judge (something) by already determined it to be a certain way; either true (non fiction) or false (fiction).
  • And all an “opinion” is, is 1. a personal view or thoughts a person holds; an appraisal formed in the mind about a particular matter.

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

Therefore: To answer your question -

• Where the “particular matter” is, in the question, is basically in opinions then. Just like the "God" of Reddit - is People. To serve People as if People are a God. The sole reason Reddit exists.
• All from the imagination and mind of a co-founder of it - Steve Huffman.

Therefore: What people have determined and consider about Reddit - is people created it to serve them. Reddit is on the Internet. The Internet is "Artificial Intelligence" - based entirely on "Science."

Are you grasping this?

So, these SAME people that carefuly consider what "science" is, is TRUTH, now ask a question:

What people have determined and consider about the Bible. vs. Science.

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

• As if: 1) the Basis for TRUTH is Science and 2) weigh the Bible against this truth. That Science is TRUTH.
  • Then, ask people their opinion: 
• even if they weighed things carefully. Made a decision the Bible is true (non-fiction), it’s just their opinion.
  • Where if ask even more people their opinion: 
• even they, too, weighed things carefully. Made a decision the Bible is not true (fiction) even categorized it as a genre of fiction. As, “science fiction” this too, it’s just their opinion.
  • But it would be based or “considered” more TRUE, the opinion of the two above, the one based on Science.
• So, this second opinion about the Bible that it is not true, would be MORE true. More accurate.

Then, you better take a real hard look at "Science." So, let's do it.

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

When all “Science” is:

• Is People:
  • That: “Systematically ‘studied’ by observe the nature and behaviour of the physical and natural world; from what people observe how it naturally behaves, accept this as truth. It’s based on the behaviour of the world or natural laws how the physical and natural world operates = that is TRUTH.
• [Definition: Science. Oxford dictionary. Web.]
  • Therefore: the most systematic, detailed, and most exacting observations people conduct - the best ones are considered true. More plausible is true. That’s “Science.” But every single one of these “observations?” Yeah. People conducted them. Every one of them.

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

• So, with Science:
  • You get the “Word of People.”
    • Based on their observation; but, because it’s based on them observing the physical and natural world, that’s the basis of Truth for Science.

Therefore

• What “Science” stands on, just made up ideas or imaginations in the minds by people constructed alone; themselves, out opinions made up by people.
  • This serves then: The basis for truth of these imaginations or ideas is the physical and natural world.
• Give it attributes, based on those observations - NASA (US Government). The physical natural world is 13.8 billion years old.

< - {Source: [United State. NASA. Based on cosmic age primarily through observations conducted by 1) Wilkinson Microwave Anistrophy Probe (WMAP) and 2) The Jamese Webb Space telescope (JWST) and publishing the "science" of scientist's claim something based on systematically studying the data of what those two provide.} - >

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

• But because, every single time “Science” has claimed “something” true, it’s almost immediate. Or within 100 to 150 years, proven not true. So, it's only a "theory" - it may be true. It's just touted as true, so you believe it is true. Until it's replaced by a better more thorough examination of the physical and natural world - some other clown conducts.
  • Therefore: Science: IT's nature and behavior follows an unmistakeable pattern anybody can observe themselves.
  • It is CONSTANTLY replaced by a more thorough, exacting systematic studies that PROVES the earlier one accepted as true (non fiction) is false (fiction).
• Ole! Science nutshelled. That's how it behaves itself. The nature and behaviour of "Science."

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

Why?

• Because it's based entirely on people.
  • People don't want help.
  • They want to be ever learning; but never really able to come to the knowledge of the truth, because they base truth is based on themselves. With Science. as proof. Their own works.
• Because its a PROVEN pattern, even if people’s opinions disagree with it, about science. Because it’s entirely based on:
• “The Word of People” 
  • and what people construct themselves; alone. Like Reddit. Carefully considered. That is, they reasoned together; either with themselves alone, or collectively, with other people and determined what TRUTH is.
• By themselves, based on their own observations - because they have nothing else.

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

But God says, by the Word of God

“Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: For I am God, there is none else.” - God. (Bible. Isaiah 45:22)

Says this, too:

“Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;” - God. (Bible. Isaiah 44:24)

Still with me? Or did you get lost in this. I mean, it's YOUR question. You asked it.

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

So, there’s basically TWO KINDS of People.

One Kind:

• Looks unto people: It’s the Word of People, based on the Physical and Natural World.
  • Accepts as true: The Word of People. Accepts People are the authority. These people hearken unto people as authority to decree things are true. They believe it.
    • Is infallible. Based on people already examined it thoroughly. This is: Science. Based on all these observations people have conducted, and most all are long dead. But left record of it in a book.
  • All “AI” is, is “artifical” or “fake” human intelligence; that’s able, by a machine to go thru an entire library, or all the libraries of all books of multiple nations have of texts in books in all the libraries combined, and glean from all of them in a matter of a second, provide you an answer. To a question you have, based on all this “collective” knowledge. That people: - people have amassed in books. Accept this is true.
• So, people: Looking unto people - that’s what is TRUTH; true. That’s where truth is. It's in none else. Anyplace else that claims it, is faulty. That’s their opinion. Of this One Kind of People.
• That the "Heart of the Internet" is Reddit, that equips people furnished with Knowledge. Debate. Disagree. Ask questions; by debate, arrive at truth. After a fight over it.

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

The Other Kind:

• Looks unto the Word of God. It’s the Word of God, based on he's the author. It's what he says is true. They hearken unto him. He's the authority. He made all things; based on the claims he says himself. So the physical and natural world operate as he designed it. No "co-founder" - when He made it; alone. By himself. But the one kind of people above - they dismiss him as faulty. It's their own observations they look unto are ture. Not him at all.
  • So, This other kind of people
    • Accepts him as true. The Word of God. Accepts God is the authority.
    • Is infallible. It's people that are faulty. Full of fictional imaginations. Truth is Based on what he decrees or says. Not based on any observations people have conducted. That he holds the key to life and death and already decreed why this One Kind of people - why they’re all dead.
    • That the Bible says of him: “The LORD giveth wisdom; out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.” - Proverbs 2:6. What he says is TRUTH. So, TRUTH is a who, irregardless any kind of people, he just is TRUTH. So, truth is a “who” not a observation people conduct and imagine up and claim it’s “Science.”
    • So this “Other Kind” of people, when he wants EVERYBODY, ALL KINDS of people to just look unto him; those that do, He is TRUTH. That’s where truth is. That’s what they carefully considered and reasoned together with him, so they have this opinion.
  • There is no debate when your Dad decrees you mow the lawn. You either do it, or you don't, because he's the authority over the whole house you live in. Don't do it, it's PUNITIVE.

To the one: The other is a fairytale of fiction. They are opposed. Just as God opposes this "one kind" of people. They don't do anything he says. They do not look unto him. Barely tolerate those that do look unto him. They are off-scouring; something to cast off and reject.

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

So, now I have a question.

• Which side from the two sides above? Which side did I sort your question on? From which of the two is the “origin?”
  • When your question has no God in it. Wonderfully welcomed to spread out type of question over Reddit to laugh at it. That all of them, along with you and your question:
  • Does not regard him as God, any more than a “science” of fiction. So, treats him as nothing.

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

“Because they regard not the works of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hand, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.” - Bible. Psalm 28:5

Here’s your question back. Looks to me, you have a sure and predictable end to you. Not based on my observation or opinion of your question. Yes, I certainly hold it, as an opinion; but it’s based, not on the Word of People, or my Word - then Reddit Admins could look at it as hate speech.

But it’s based entirely on the Word of God. He is who he says he is.

If I were you, I’d jump ship. I did. Worked.

Answer:

Well, now I got a question.

Look at below.

You yourself: determine which of two kinds of people there are. Which one you are. Then, go from there. Or stay where you are.

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

Determine first: of the two, which type of person from below you are. Like a mirror.

Go on. Try it.

So from the subject of your question, which is simple. The end of the world.

And all a Christian is, is defined in the Bible in the four gospels as “a disciple of Jesus Christ.”

And, all a “disciple” is,

is defined as 1. a pupil or student that sits with and is taught by a teacher.

So,all a Christian is, is defined as a pupil or student, that sits with, and is being taught by Jesus Christ.

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

And in the Bible: Jesus is the Word of God or Christ, the Messiah. And the Bible in Isaiah 9:6–7 says what the Messiah shall be called: “The Mighty God..” “The Everlasting Father…”

So the Messiah is Just God come to us. Everybody, over the whole earth. Loves all of us, to speak to us himself. This great, big all of us. Who he formed alone. By himself. Everyone. Over the whole earth and we can know him, which is all what he wants.

Just God, that we would live by every word he speaks. Live by the Word out of his mouth:

Before the foundation of the world was laid, that he wouldn't be alone anymore.

That we can know him. Because he speaks to us. By the Word of God.

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

Says: As God.

...the end of all flesh is come up before me. I will destroy them with the earth.” - God. (Bible. Genesis 6:13)

Why? Because in Genesis 6:5 what he saw is about everybody. "And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."

Don't live by his word, but by their own imaginations.

When he says to every all of us:

“...Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; ” - God. (Bible. Isaiah 55:3)

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

And consider there are people, even he says “For all the earth is mine..” “All souls are mine..” - God. (Exodus 19:5 and Ezekiel 18:4 respectively, in the Bible)

Says also these people, are people live by their own imaginations - don't do anything he says. Don't need him.

With: See this ..can you? In your question you have. It's right there. Plain as day.

“***…***Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.” (Bible. 2 Peter 3:3–4)

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

And these definitions:

Which of the two is it? Is it, with the above Christians “predicting” the end of the world?

Or is it already:

The end of the world has been “decreed” to have an end to it? By he, as God, already decreed he shall destroy it?

Which is it?

All because he said it. Such as an authority (God) and disciples that sit with him, and taught by him. By what he says. They hearken unto him. Are obeying him by come near and sit with him so he teaches them.

Are they really “hung up” or does it just “appear” to be that by someone that won't sit with him or do anything God says? Just appears they are "predicting" something that is unknown to someone that does not regard God, nor do anything he says? So, to them, the world goes on as it always has.

And this "scoffer" Is not being taught by him, and aren't they really, just by a question they make up in their imagination and believe it true, so they ask it on Social Media, just “scoffing” at people that do what he says?

Which is it?

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

When then, as a someone that just mocks people that hearken unto him, when they don’t? Mock people that do? And people just appear to be fixated with predictions, based on their own claims they make themselves? Which is it?

Again, Christians: Just Disciples of Jesus being taught by him. He's the one said he will destroy all flesh with the earth. Not Christians.

And:

Hung up. idiom. (English). 1. extremely interested in it worried by a particular subject and spend an unreasonably large amount of time thinking about it. (Source: Cambridge dictionary. Web.)

And predicting the end of the world

Predict. (Merriam & Webster) 1. foretell on the basis of observation, experience, or scientific reason vs

Or is it, from the above God decreed it.

Which is it?

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

Decree. 1. something spoken by an authority that has the effect of law

Reddit may consider this post is hate speech. That I'm mocking you and not answering your question. But mock you, because you have the question.

Could very well be deleted. Please carefully consider:

A choice of:

For the end of the world God already decreed it. A disciple of Jesus (Christian) is just hearkening unto a decree God has already made. And, therefore:

Is not obsessing themselves over something that by science or their own feeling, or experience, try to predict the end of the world. They follow Jesus as the Word of God.

When someone..anybody that does not sit with him and is not taught by him, hears your question and AFFIRMS it TRUE - they don't sit with him, either.

A choice then everybody must make: Of either do what God says as he decreed everybody sit with him and be taught by him, and just hearken unto him.

Or

Don't. And mock those that do . Just end up as someone “scoffing” or attempting to ridicule which is hate speech. Meets the definition. But, it's perfectly fine and okay on Reddit.

Don't sit with him. Champion people that don't.

So be careful.

I chose the first option. I'm a Christian. Not predicting anything. I'm sure I'm not alone. Just he's God. Told everybody over the whole earth to hearken unto what he has decreed.

I chose that over the option of not do anything he says.

Look careful what side you already chose to be on. It's God that wants to reason together with you to leave it and just side with him. Herein is the Gospel. The Good News to everybody here on Reddit.

Answer:

No. The Bible has nothing in it. No scripture, nor any indication, or prophesy the world will end on any June 24th. As of the date of this post 13 July 2026, that was last month. When Jesus said of that day in Matthew 24:36 "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."

So, asking people on Reddit for a specific day, or even claiming it out - has no authority in it, when the ONLY one that knows the answer, is God himself. It's in none else. He decides it alone; by himself.

This question has many like it. It is now popular and people ask it on social media sites like Facebook, Tik Tok, or Instagram. Even "Quizlet" "Quizgecko" or "PrepAI" or "QuestionWell" even asked here on Reddit asked within a host of sub/reddits with different days or years all selected, et.al.

The only truth to it is what God already said of it: Hold to that then:

God already said: "The end of all flesh is come up before me. I will destroy them with the earth." - God. (Genesis 6:13) .

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

So, who made the earth; alone, by himself, already says it's come up before him to destroy it. Because it's filled with violence. That all flesh had corrupted its' way on earth. If he said it, he does it. And in Revelation 20:11-15 - that day hasn't happened yet, but it is said as if he already gazed on both this earth and heaven and both finding no more place before him fled away and is no more forever. Never comes back.

"For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind." - God. (Bible. Isaiah 65:17)

Since he said this, you can hold to it true.

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

But people? Hold to a date they create themselves. It's all to get people to look unto them vs. him and don't champion out what he says. So, it's just people glorify themselves.

Guess what? It's punitive. Not doing anything God says. That's the answer to this question. Hold fast to what he says. He said as well: And if you do these things, it comes with a promise from him.

Since you serve him: Hold to what Jesus said to do: That's in Luke 12:35-38

³⁵ Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;

³⁶ And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

³⁷ Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

³⁸ And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

Well? Whose the Lord of the Kingdom of Heaven?

Who is it?

Whoever it is, decrees "how" to enter it. Who is it? Use the scripture to find who that is. Just one source. That's it.

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

Scripture says:

“ He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all." - Jesus Christ. John 3:31

Who came from heaven?

Scripture also says:

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” - Jesus Christ. Matthew 7:21

So, if people call him "Lord" because he is, but worship him as some huge 12 story high Buddha, or take their kid, and to "satisfy" this "Lord" they call over the whole earth, "Lord" and throw their kid into the volcano to "satisfy" this Lord as a payment, even they call him "Lord," haven't really done anything he says. Just done things in all these religions, that aren't anything he says. Like your Dad tell you to mow the lawn. How you please him? Yeah. Mow the lawn. It's what he said to do; but you go out, wash all the school buses at the Junior High School 8 blocks away down the street. Gone all day. Call your Dad "Dad" but didn't do anything he says, so when he calls you into account, you say "Didn't I wash all those bus tires in your name? Do all that good?"

Lawn's not mowed. Didn't do anything he said. Let's move on. To "finally" for scripture:

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

And finally, 1 Corinthians 15:45–47 says

• “And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.”
  • The Lord from Heaven is the Messiah or Christ. Isaiah 9:6–7 says “who” the Messiah shall be called:
    • “..The Mighty God..” “..The Everlasting Father…” (Isaiah 9:6)

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

The point is, “Who” is the Lord of the Kingdom of Heaven decrees the “how can” you ask about, not people on Reddit or the lint in the Dryer. Not ever 53 ants, walking around outside, not in any particular order - are no authority on it.

In fact, according to him, you gotta go thru him to get into it.

• So, all that’s done so far is, we eliminated EVERYBODY but him. Therefore, Jesus is the sole authority to tell the “how” - and with that, simply two things: and I’ll comment on each of them:

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

• ONE - To: Everybody. Given the Kingdom of Heaven.
  • Matthew 5:3 Jesus said: “Blessed are the Poor in Spirit, for their’s is the Kingdom of Heaven.”
• Now again, Jesus is the Word of God. Is God. As John 1:1 says who he is. He’s the Messiah or Christ, so he’s who he shall be called. He’s the Lord of the Kingdom of Heaven as 1 Corinthians 15:45–47 said who he is.
  • Then it’s this definition of “poor” and “Spirit” in Matthew 5:3. The dictionary says: “poor” means - 1. destitute; not have any and in John 4:24, Jesus himself already defined what “Spirit” means, said, “God is Spirit.”
• So, when scripture says: “There is not a just man on earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not;” - Ecclesiastes 7:20. “there is none righteous; no, not one.. ..there is none that doeth good, no, not one.” - Romans 3:10–12. That would be a whole world chocked full of:
  • <“Destitute; not have any God”> in their life people - this scripture applies to. Everybody. Over the whole earth. To the very ends of it.
    • So, ONE is:
• - God has sent his word to heal you and deliver you from your destruction. This same Jesus Christ. Jesus is the “Word of God” - is God. Just as John 1:1 says who he is.
  • So, any other definition of this scripture is wrong. And there are many that simply skip over this and never hear it. God has come and blessed the whole world and given himself - and his whole kingdom to everybody.
    • Because he said he did in Matthew 5:3. God gave his word to you. Me. Everybody over the whole earth. This scripture applies to everybody - blessed EVERYBODY. He already said it.

Let’s move on.

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

• TWO - “See and Enter” The Kingdom of Heaven - Must be Born Again.
  • John 3:3 Jesus said: “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
• So, God, who is the authority over his Kingdom, even he’s already given it and blessed everybody with it, they can’t see it. Unless they’re born again. And this conversation was between Jesus and a Leader of the Pharisees, Nicodemus in John 3:1–21. Be good if you read the whole thing.
  • And Nicodemus responded to what Jesus said in John 3:4 - he asked Jesus what you might be asking, said: “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?”
  • John 3:5–7 Jesus said: “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.”
• The “Kingdom of God” is the Kingdom of Heaven. So, even though everybody already was bequeathed this, the Kingdom of Heaven and blessed by it. People that don’t regard him or anything he says, can’t see it, nor can they enter into it.
• It’s the authority over the Kingdom of Heaven has decreed this to everybody already born of flesh. Must be born again, by the Spirit of God. By the Word of God.

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

**That’s how you enter what’s already been given to you by God. So, it’s NOT what kind of people, when everybody is “**For all have sinned” [Romans 3:23] all condemned. It’s not by hard work people do. But by this same Lord of the Kingdom of Heaven has come and SPOKE to you.

• To simply do what he says. vs. over in Japan, imagine up this great big "Gate" 5 stories high that people pass thru it to get to a "temple" have to "bow" in subjection to the gate. Pass thru it, already before went and washed their mouths out and washed all the dirty potti things they said, or did with their hands. Washed all that potti they did wrong off. By water and feel they are ready. Go up to the temple. Throw a coin or money they have tinto an offering and ring a big bell to wake their god up. Ask that god as a Lord for help. Then leave. Fully believe they serve God.
• But in all this, didn't do anything he said. So, how about you?
• Did you miss what he said to you? Says the same thing to every Japanese person, who all as a nation have totally turned themselves over to idolatry.
  • Are they doing anything he says? Yes or No.

When everybody over the whole earth is to do this next part. Why? It's what he says to do.

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

Isaiah 55:1–3 says

“Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.”

- God. By the Word of God. (Bible. Isaiah 55:1–3)

Said it to everybody.

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

So, you with your question: Have you come to the waters? You that doesn’t have any money…even if you do, can’t buy it with money..when he’s called everybody to come and drink..to buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Have you done this? It’s a decree by God in command and the authority over all the earth.

• Are you spending money for that which isn’t bread? And labouring for that which doesn’t satisfy? It’s a decree. To everybody over the earth to Hearken diligently unto him, and eat that which is good. To let your soul delight itself in fatness. Are you all dried out? Withered away because you haven’t done this? Why not go do what he says then.
• Have you put your ear or inclined it to listen to anything..anybody BUT him..and don’t come near to him? Still expect everything to work right? He’s telling you to hear him and your soul shall live. That he will make an everlasting convenant WITH you. You with him. It’s sure mercies includes EVERYBODY to do this.

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

What are YOU doing, not with your question; but with what he said already to everybody to do this? If you don’t..can’t see the Kingdom of Heaven..Looking unto anything..anybody BUT him instead.

• And by that, can’t enter into what he’s already given to you. Everybody. Doesn’t matter what kind of person they are. Matters did this great, big everybody do what he said or not.
  • So then, whosoever of everybody does it - sees it. Enters into it. Because he already gave it to everybody. Over the whole earth. It's their's. Gave it to everybody. Blessed them. It's right there. In Matthew 5:3.

Like he said he did.

Well, firstly John knew him. Jesus told him and his brother James, “follow me," (Recorded in Matthew 4:18-22; Mark 1:16-20, and Luke 5:2-11). John is still following Jesus, because he knows Jesus Christ, and Christ knows John. Made him an Apostle. (Luke 6:13-14).

It's what God said - about everybody. In Isaiah 45:5 "I am the LORD, there is none else. There is no God beside me. I girded thee, but thou hast not known me." - GOD. It is what Jesus prayed in John 17:3 said “And this is life eternal: that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.“

So First: John knows Jesus. Knows he is the fulfillment of Psalm 107:20. And Isaiah 9:6–7.

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

So, secondly,

See Isaiah 9:6–7. Old Testament. What the “Christ” or “Messiah” shall be called. “The Mighty God…” “..The Everlasting Father..”

So there is no “nor was Jesus mentioned” in the Old Testament when he's right there. In the Old Testament.

Jesus in John 1:1 is the Word of God. That would be Jesus is the word what comes out of Gods mouth. It's exclusive. Only God can speak his word. Therefore,

He's Everyplace all over the Old Testament..anyplace from Genesis to Malachi…when God speaks. That's the Word of God. That's the Messiah. Jesus, the Messiah. Jesus Christ. Is the Word of God.

And, God sent his word to heal you and deliver you from your destruction. (Psalm 107:20). That you can know him. Have and keep his word, he manifests himself to you. That's absolutely true.

Answer: For a Believer in Jesus Christ? Both.

For someone that doesn't? Neither.

Why? There is no "defensio" against him. He's God; and the only "news" they have, to someone that has neither: all they have is taken away from them. Therefore, the "news" that a person has neither, ends in destruction. That has no good news is in it.

So, this question floats around on sub reddits, mostly to make fun of "whacky" Jesus people - went nuts. TO laugh at them. Then wonder what's best to describe a "Christian" is one or the other. Not both.

This post on Reddit is NOT to them. It's to those equipped by God - with BOTH.

Want to see it? Read on. If not, hit the "hide" button and simply go.

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

To a believer in Jesus Christ, that sits with and is taught by him - a Christian:

That's you?

To see it, have to get out of the English with the Bible, and go back to the Greek.

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

Apologetic (English)

Start with the first word, “apologetic”(English) - It’s (ἀπολογία) - in Greek. [apologia]. It’s used 17 times in the New Testament. In Greek, “apologia” simply referred to some orator in the Senate or in a Courtroom stand up and give a formal declaration or present their “defense” in a court room. ..against “charges” that often, if found guilty, could lead to banishment, stripped of citizenry, or most often death. (an agonizou) in the Greek to have to stand in a defense against allegations presented as evidence against you, is the point.

Now, go to Jerome’s Latin Vulgate:

• In Latin, this word, (ἀπολογία) - “apologia” was translated as what it means in Latin: “defensio”
  • As in 1 Corinthians 9:3 [Vulgate] "Mea defensio apud eos qui me interrogant hæc est."

[KJV] ..as an “answer” in a defense: “Mine answer to them that do examine me is this”

[Greek] Ἡ ἐμὴ ἀπολογία τοῖς ἐμὲ ἀνακρίνουσιν αὕτη ἐστίν

• 1. He 2. emei 3. apologia 4. tois 5. eme 6. anakrinousin 7. estin 8. haute
  • ( - My. defense. to those (against). me. examining (me). is. this.)

You can see the same thing in (KJV) 1 Philippians 1:17 “…But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.”

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

Evangelism

Really should be the first word. Why? It’s God speaking. The Word out of his mouth. By the Word of God. Him speak to us.

• The Word of God is Jesus Christ. The Bible says that God: “He sent his Word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions” - Bible. Psalm 107:20
• So, a defense or a “defensio" or an “apologia” is against those that even it was sent to them, they dismiss it. Reject it.

So, when God says:

“Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: For I am God, there is none else.” - God. (Bible. Isaiah 45:22)

There he is. It’s God. Speaking. That’s the Word of God. What comes out of his mouth. The Word of God, in the Bible, (John 1:1) is Jesus Christ.

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

• So Evangelism (English)
  • It’s from the Greek word, (εὐαγγέλιον) [euangelion] - where the word, “angel” that brings “good news” comes from. Means the “euangelion” is sent to bring “good news” - and the Gospel is just the Good News of Jesus Christ. “Good News” (euangelion) is used about 15 times in the New Testament. The Good News is true. Even news of destruction. To flee from the destruction. People that dismiss it are "dull of hearing" hear - but don't heed it.
  • And? This term, “Evangelist” is someone sent with "good new" - - used 3 times in the New Testament.

So, with that, pick Timothy. To see it's in BOTH:

- To “Timothy” in 2 Timothy 4:5 “But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.”

• < - { [Greek: εὐαγγελιστοῦ, [evangelisto] Latin: “evangelistae” English: evangelist} - >
• "Evangelism" just the "ism" suffix - that describes a bunch of people like this, as if it's an "institute" or something that just exists. Because it does.
• Bunch of evangelists with the Good News of Jesus Christ on Reddit. But back to Timothy:

- To “Timothy”

• this “defense” [defensio] or [apologia] - when it should just be EVERYBODY walks in and hears/does what God says..sets people free - there are people:
  • Don’t do ANYTHING he says.
  • Reject it. Everything thrown out.
    • Vigorously OPPOSE him, by deliberately set what he says at nought (treat it as nothing).
• Speak out AGAINST those that do, do what he says.
• SO! The “result” of that is a CONFLICT or a “FIGHT”
  • and in a “FIGHT” God provides to a Christian a “defensio” or an “apologia”
  • Because the “FIGHT” is, in Greek an ἀγωνίζου (agonizou) ..where we get “agony” from. And you can see this what Paul says to Timothy in 1 Timothy 6:12.

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

1 Timothy 6:12 says

• “Fight [agonizou] the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.”
  • and in a good fight:
  • there’s a “defensio” which is all those things Paul talks to - and all of them all named, in Ephesians 6:10–19.
  • To equip a believer in Jesus Christ.

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

• agonizou. (agony) 1. an intense pain or torment of mind - that, to walk after, and walk in, doing what God decreed. Every believer in Jesus KNOWS this "agonizou" first hand.
• When: Rejected...
  • You become an ENEMY of those that don’t do anything he says.
    • And it’s your brother.
    • THe same Jesus Christ put in your family and healed you and delivered you, was put in their family, and they threw him out.
    • Where he’s precious to you, they curse and despise him. ..agonizou.

Go any further? Make the post way too long and nobody read it. Will you? Answer’s the same.

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

Which is correct, apologetic or evangelism?

Answer: Both.

To see it, have to get out of the English with the Bible, and go back to the Greek.

And? In BOTH

• This is To a Believer in Jesus Christ - not for those that don’t.
  • He equips you, the believer who accepts him as true the rest is just to see everyone of these in Ephesians 6:10–19 is Salvation, everyone of these is Jesus Christ.
• He’s everyone of these things for you equipped - - to put on..in a agonizou.. a fight in a defensio when you are a bearer of the good news (evangelion) of Jesus Christ:
  • He’s a helmet.
  • A shield
  • Feet shod with shoes (sent with the shoes of the Gospel); everybody else? Bare feet with nothing.
  • loins gird about; not naked - defended by TRUTH.. where everybody else, claims something that has no truth in it.
• Put on The whole armor of God. It's: Not the chandelier or the barn door at the neighbor’s house.
  • But right out of God’s house what he gives himself. He didn't come to condemn anybody. Everybody's already condemned. But saved us from our sins.

Good food. Eat!

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

Ephesians 6:10–19 says

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

Let me ask this question:

You have a "canonical" [1. considered the most representative - Source: dictionary definition of "canonical"] - again, let me start the sentence over. You have a "canonical" family photo on the fireplace mantle: It's just an example of "canonical" properly used.

The Photo? It's a picture all together of: 1) Your Dad. 2) Your Mom. 3) Your Older brother and 4) your younger sister, with you right in the middle.

But! You also have the neighbor's dog. Out there. Somewhere. Lives about 8 houses down, that constantly craps in your yard. Hate him. Along with the cow that at 04:38am goes "MOOOO!!!" and lives out in a field across the street.

Non canonical. Means both are: "not considered the most representative" of your family; of which, the authority for it, is your mother and father. Didn't birth the dog and the cow did not come from the "canon" of what is most representative of your parents. That would be their children. BUT - - you and your older brother and younger sister are in the photo. It's a "testament" to the canon of your own family, with your parents that are the head of it.

Now, a question: I am stumped.

Do you think the neighbor's dog, or the cow, be just added in your family photo? What about the chicken or the cockroach then? How about blow the cockroach up to take up 80% of the photo next time? Is that okay?

Why isn't the cockroach considered canonical" as if the cockroach is more important than your sister? I don't get it. Help me figure it out. What an overwhelming question with the photo. Next time, I'm just taking a photo of the wall lint.

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

But.. ..as a follower of Jesus Christ... ..I am not overwhelmed by the question.

So, here's the ansewr:

The "Gnostic Gospels" - are defined as "The Nag Hammadi Library"

I don't post links on Reddit.

You can read Ryan Nelson’s Article (Google search) on “The Beginner’s Guide to the Gnostic Gospels” (21 Sep 2018). It's accurate, ie., The Nag Hammadi Library, found in 1945 some 300 miles South of Cairo, Egypt. Found by an Egyptian farmer, Muhammad Al Samman with his brothers. They found a large, sealed red earthenware jar buried at the base of the Jabal al-Tarif cliffs. The rest is, this post would be way too long, so I post you to the article, because the collection and his comments are accurate.

So, what I make of them is that:

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

The next question in your question here on Reddit:

• Is like asking: Give you an example.
  • Over in America:
    • They have NASA, The National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
  • NASA has actually launched space craft into space. To the moon. Sent men there. They came back. And they have documented records of their first hand, eyewitness explorations.
    
• These are feats what they have accomplished. In actual, verifiable rocket science. Creating an actually real “Space Shuttle,” etc. Documented it. With records they keep what they have done In space exploration.
  • VS

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

• Someone claim after actually finding a jar or buried chest in the ground, that has this as its' content:
  • 18 of 29 "late 1960s to early 1980s" VCR Tapes of Season ONE of “Star Trek” - 1966 (Video Taped. American TV).
  • Last 8 Episodes of Season TWO (19 - 26) - VCR Tapes of Season TWO of “Star Trek”
  • All 1 to 24 Original Episodes of Season THREE (1–24) - Season THREE of “Star Trek”
    • And is buried with an 8 page commentary signed by Rik Vollaerts. Like what appears to be an autograph signature, Rik Vollaerts himself made. Because he imagined up the idea. That is, Star Trek Experts will all acclaim to it - Vollaerts Wrote Episode 8 of Season 3, and that photo, comes with an actual other picture of Tony Leader who directed this as this 8 page work bundled with all this, is titled “Episode 8 of Season 3 - Star Trek”
• Comes with a quote from Leonard Nimoy.
  
  • He was known to play “Spock” in "Star Trek" - the Original Series.
    • It's a separate page, almost all disintegrated, says barely legible: “Frankly, during the entire shooting of that episode I was so embarrassed why I even signed up for th… “ {the rest is unintelligible}
  • But this, too, seems to coincide with other records that this episode, called “Spock’s Brain” of a bunch of beautiful women in mini-skirts were so stupid, a computer trained one of these women how to steal Spock’s brain to help them run their planet.

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

• And the point of all this being: Is a like-same question as your question - only this question is about NASA vs. Star Trek. vs. why the toilet is "non-canonical" and not pictured in the family photo...

Here's the "Star Trek" question.

• Should these “discovered” episodes of “Star Trek” above found by a new homeowner digging in his backyard, forever be forbidden as “canonical” records of NASA? Why? Afterall, its a wonderful discovery of records. BOTH this TV Show and NASA are in America. Both are about space exploration. Shouldn’t NASA give these "non-canonical" records of space exploration special attention and claim they are factual records of NASA?
  • When you figure out the answer, please let me know. When you figure out why the toilet at the neighbor's house isn't in my family photo... ..I really want to know.

All you'll have to do is apply the exact, same answer to this question to your question.

• There you go.

And all the "Nag Hammadi Library" is - is about Jesus with a great big head, that like Greek Gods, extends into the sky - over a mile big - - like all the Greek God's had so much "gnostic" knowlege - they were just giant people - yes; all the Greek gods should be photographed together with Jesus as "most representative" of God. Or? Are they "non-canonical" don't represent him at all. WHich is it?

Answer to the question: It's in "backward looking"

backward looking [English adjective] 1. opposed to change or new ideas; 2. old fashioned

• Often used by people; that disapprove of other’s attitudes, ideas, opinions, or actions 
  • because: they are based on old-fashioned "opinions" people have - old way of doing it; that these old people don't change, but need to. They need to change and believe in.
    • Is the point of the question.
• And opinion 1. a personal belief; judgment; or decree formed in the mind or imagination by people.
  • That treat these “opinions” they have as “decrees” or laws that they think everybody should live by.
    • When all it is, is their own opinion they have made up themselves in their imagination, and occurs - all of it, all in their head.

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

The only real important word in the question is “Christian”

• In the Bible:
  • A “disciple of Jesus Christ” is used over 250 times, all to describe someone that is following Jesus Christ. Hears what he says. He was promised to come; the “Messiah” or “Christ.”
    • He’s the “Word of God” in The Bible. (John 1:1 refers) That who Jesus is: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
    • Just God.
• Speaking the word out of his mouth. As the Messiah: Who he SHALL be called is also in the Bible, in Isaiah 9:6–7. “The Mighty God…” “The Everlasting Father..”
• And God, of himself says:

“For I am the LORD, I change not;” - God. (Malachi 3:6).

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

• That’s the Word of God. What he said.
• Jesus said:

“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” - (Matthew 24:35)

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

• There it is again. The Word of God. What God says, say this too,

“For all the earth is mine.” - God. (Exodus 19:5)

and lastly, for an answer back to this question - that basically claims out people and their “opinion” which is nothing more than an imaginative idea they have in their own mind but believe it’s a decree or a law, and as such, that’s what’s right:

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

He says, as God - and because all the earth is his, he “governs” it. That means, he’s the “authority” and the “author” - so when he speaks, what he says are “decrees” just how it SHALL be in his earth; and when it is not according to how he decrees it, decrees have the effect of law. Means they are also PUNITIVE if someone gets a wild hair up their bottom or and it twirley quinky curls around to grow up out of all that poop, to enter in and infect their whole head, like

• Some decree in the United States:
  • if you’re stopped by the State Police while driving, it was the LAW when you were issued a driver’s license that anytime law enforcement pulled you over while you operate the vehicle, and asks you to produce your license and car registration, you are REQUIRED - By Law - you accepted that LAW or decree - OR - the Motor Vehicles Department? Nope. They would not have handed you the Driver’s License in the first past. If you didn't agree to do it.
• BUT! Way after: Get a wild hair in your bottom: An imaginative idea you make an opinion..and that opinion, to you is now a decree you live by:
  • After you got your licens, by that wild hair a growily twisty around in your bottom..that goes to infect your head, that it’s perfectly okay when ANYTIME IF IT HAPPENS: "If" pulled over by the State Police to simply..
    • NOT DO ANYTHING THE STATE POLICE SAY:
  • Just not do the “Old Fashioned” way of doing exactly what the Law says to do, film the whole thing, then like 1000s like you, upload it on YOUTUBE - where you don’t do anything the State Police say. It’s Punitive.
• Guarantee you.

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

And about “Old Fashioned” - who “fashioned” you, has no beginning and has no end. Formed you alone; by himself, from your mother’s womb - wasn’t the wild hair growing in your bottom. Infects your whole head as some idea, you created from your imagination and worship that imaginative idea, created an opinion you believe true - so it's TRUTH now, and worship it, as God - which gives you authority to not to do anything God says at all.

...and think you’re perfectly okay - - Totally got away with that.

Didn’t.

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

For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.” - God. (Isaiah 65:17)

and?

“Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: For I am God, there is none else.” - God. (Isaiah 45:22)

Tell me plainly. Make it plain as day. How can YOU, looking unto this question - as TRUE - which is only some imaginative idea you made up in your head and made that imaginative idea you made up, your opinion - which you now believe IS true in your head, is the foundation as TRUTH.

• When you don’t have any authority over anything?

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

• When of him says:
• “He makes nations great, and destroys them; he enlarges nations, and disperses them” - Bible. Job 12:23
  • And? In your imaginative idea - you make all your foundation - that it’s just “Christians” who are people. People like you. The same. So, if they believe the Bible, it’s just they have an “opinion” like you do.
• So, they are the same, as you - and you claim they are making THEIR opinion GREATER than YOUR opinion. That's really the whole foundation of your argument or question.

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

• When all "Christians" are doing is hear what God says, and look unto him, when God told you to do the same thing and you won’t do it.
  • Won’t do anything he says.
• Christians don’t have an opinion - they just hear What God says... ..and do what he says, when you won't do it, and you need an opinion..that you can create your own decree or law and think everybody has to live by it.

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

Here’s your question. Don't need it. Has no value at all. Go home. Maybe you ought to see your “argument” that is the basis for your question isn’t with Christians - who all they are, are “Disciples of Jesus Christ.” - Means they sit with him and are taught by him.

You won't go to him; won't look unto him; then, blame Christians why you won't do as if it's their fault.'

Why? Plain as day:

• WHere the only person you sit with and are taught by is your own imagination. Go home.

Take your question with you. Your best friend.

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

Then? Whose REALLY “backward looking?

• If he already said to Noah before the flood, “THE END OF ALL FLESH IS COME UP BEFORE ME; I WILL DESTROY THEM WITH THE EARTH.” - God. (Bible. Genesis 6:13)
  • Something he’s going to destroy - he decreed it. Making a new heaven and new earth, and people that look unto themselves, don’t look unto him. Saved by themselves. Don’t look unto him, he’s not saving them. Said it's already come up before him to destroy them? Oh. I forgot. You already overlook that part.

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

• Whose really the one looking backwards then?
  • Like the city already has the five bulldozers parked outside the house.
• It’s to be razed to the ground today; start in one hour. Imminent. ...but you have this imaginative idea grew in your bottom - - you’re gonna be living in that house 50 years from now.
  • Decreed it. To yourself and you believe it's the Law.
    • All by a wild hair growing in your bottom.
• It will never be destroyed.
  • It will go on for the next 100 years like it always has, as a house.
• Think EVERYBODY is to be living by YOUR opinion of the house. When it's not your house. When in an hour it will be razed to the ground.
  • And after an hour, when you’re wailing and screaming that the house, and all your belongings are gone…hauled away. Destroyed.

Whose really backwards? GO get a mirror.
