Serious questions...can anyone here give a reason as to why the Vatican has a serpent building and a throne with demons in the background? Google "the papal audience hall serpant building" for seriously questionable pictures that look more like worshiping of Satan the Serpent than Jesus Christ. Has anyone heard of the 15 year old child that went missing in 1983 and her bones were found at the Vatican? Her name was Emanuela Orlandi (look it up). While trying to find her remains, thousands of children's bones were found in the Vatican's grounds. Was there any official explanation? The Catholic Church made the Colosseum a sacred site to honor these first Christians martyred for their faith, so can anyone explain why a giant statue of Moloch will greet visitors at the entrance? Moloch is the biblical name of a Canaanite god associated with child sacrifice, through fire or war. According to the Vatican's own records, between 400 and 500 new serious child sex abuse cases have been reported every year since 2013. That is only the cases that are reported. For every child sex case reported, it has been estimated that about 20 go unreported. Stop and think about that. Has anyone seen this video and if so do they think it has any truth about the Vatican whatsoever?
The video is obviously overtly dramatic, but if you believe child sacrifice takes place in the Vatican dungeons, how much more dramatic can you get? What has this got to do with Celtic FC? Well when I personally attend a Celtic match, I don't like my match day experience spoiled by the fans chanting "God Bless The Pope". Imagine if your own fans started singing the praises of Hitler. Would you like it?
if you believe christ is worth listening to then basically he built an ark to save us from destruction.
his ark was the everlasting ark
it requires some specific things to get onto that ark.
that ark is the church.
Why did he build this ark?
he built it because the plans he laid out to Moses lost their meaning through pharisee law benders
he came to give them a chance to fix the Moses ark to its correct specifications with the authority he had given them.
they chose to reject the correct plans.
He was forced to create the new and everlasting ark through the self sacrifice of his own flesh and blood, the sign of the new and everlasting covenant, not made by agents with authority, but by the only authority that has no higher power.
Now the guardians or captains of his ark are there to steer the ship back to port, which is the eternal city.
the only guarantee christ made is whatever they bind he will bind and whatever they loose he will loose.
you are free to jump off the ark if you dont like the captains
but the little rafts floating around in the ocean have no guarantee they will find port
if the captains of the ark loose the compass
then it probably requires the second coming since its the only arc that can find port to the eternal city
Anyone who tells you to jump off the ark in protest or claims to know better than the authorised church are liars
they were given no authority
they bend the instructions to suit themselves
if they have no authority then they are in thieves and rebels
just like the two dudes on the cross with christ
one was saved through extraordinary grace
not guaranteed
but hope for the damned through mercy
even a thief and rebel can change miraculously through grace
but that is not the way to be saved
its not a guarantee
there have been many men in history who feel they know better than the authority over them
some have had military junta overthrow authority
now you can be obedient to true authority like christ
or you can rebel for self deception
either way you will be nailed to the cross you bear
1 leads to heaven
the other to hatred of everything
if you search for the truth you will find it
if you search for what you want to believe then you will find deception
a gold refiner
cuts and scrapes and challenges the gold he has found to be certain of its authenticy
so search for truth with a sceptical mind but open to possibility
but follow the guidelines set out by christ and placed with his deposit guarantee in his ark
that ark is the just like the arks of Old Testament
but more real
the old ones were made of wood and filled with the law of christ and the bread from heaven (manna) and had the power of god and the Holy Spirit such that the army of god was indestructible while it kept the law.
or the older ark of Noah similar type.
the everlasting ark is the mystical body of christ
which is the foundation of his new ark
of which Peter was the first rock on the foundation
the world hates that ark of god
and it will tell you whatever it can to get you to abandon it
it may well even have had some bad captains along the way
but if you aint on that ark you require extraordinary grace
and that's not part of the guarantee although it is possible
if the big ark fails then no man made church can save you
the church of christ is the ark
all are welcome
but you must amend your life to follow the law
if you cant you then you require extraordinary grace
And even the reprobate thieving rebel nailed to the cross has some hope.
but surely better to just get on the ark and amend life?
