Hi,
Let's consider the Lord's prayer. Power, glory and kingdom. All belonging to God. In the subject line for this post we mentioned power and status.
Here's an interesting video on power vs status:
https://youtu.be/bnZQB9hnOh4
To the aforementioned nouns I might add: retrogression/retardation: going backwards. So we're mentioning: Christianity, abomination (evil), power, status (or glory). We haven't mentioned wealth since it's controlled by cryptocurrencies or central banks as a function of power.
I mentioned in the last post, Pete Buttigig being married to another guy, all of a sudden having 'two NEW kids' (he says new like they're dishwashing machines). The media will never tell you how things play out because they're a form of Magic that only focuses on the Magic of certain moments.
Pete Buttigig marrying another guy (black magic) and adopting two news kids like french poodles is an abomination (evil). Not surprisingly, much in our society is abominable: drug addiction, gay marriage, gay marriages with adopted kids, stealing federal elections in America subverting actual democracy. Much of the left media which in America has resorted to outright deception (black magicians).
Just to be clear, if that makes me unpopular, I'm happy to be alone. In fact, I've always been a go it alone kind of guy. Changing high schools regularly, changing countries and jobs regularly. Changing girlfriends regularly. Even if society bends over backwards to convince you you're wrong, not woke, not socially inclusive, etc, ultimately it's you who accepts or rejects this. If you accept, you are the gaslit, you will believe society's opinion of you, it ultimately becomes what you believe, your vision of yourself. This is in a democracy where we do not resort to torture except willingly, eg, in the aforementioned gaslit example. In a country like China, people can be tortured. Obviously in a democracy there can be a power dynamic that forces compliance like a mafia or bullies at school.
To be clear, I'm not bullying Pete Buttigig but drawing a line in the sand and calling him an abomination. And most of the media are chickenshits and half assed idolaters that worship airtime and screentime and their pitiful tit for tat schoolyard repartee. These are the failed, the NBC, CNN, CBS, slaves.
Are Christians really to understand this and then feign some kind of obnoxious compassion for this scum of the earth? Let's consider Paul and Jesus. Paul is a fervent Jewish nationalist, like Judas. Perhaps more of a religious zealot where Judas was a political hack intent on toppling Roman rule through armed insurrection. Despite two thousand years and a massive change in technology, we can already see some similar power intrigues: Judas (ends up suiciding - grim) can capitalize on Jesus' fame (status) to advance his own power agenda (Jewish political nationalism through armed insurrection toppling Roman rule). Jesus asks Paul why he's persecuting him and there's something miraculous so more power to bear. I think Paul goes blind or something (real consequences, not just condescension masked as fake compassion, actual blindness). Depicted here, without a Hubble lens:

As Joshua Phillips from the Epoch Times would ask, so what are we to make of this? Well with regard to the left wing media and much of society, we plainly have unbelieving (infidels) destined for hell: adulterers (liars and cheats, fakers). The devil's crew. I would classify today's Democrat party as Satan's bitches and the evildoers. I'm sorry if you think this is extreme and terroristy sounding, go ring a siren and flash some lights if that's the case.
Obviously in Christianity the notion of being thrown into hell is mentioned in the gospels but it doesn't really seem to bother anyone. At the risk of seeming naive, old fashioned, a Catholic, or hypocritical, let's revisit those gospel scenarios Jesus outlines for evildoers bound for hell:
weeping (Matt 8:12), wailing (Matt 13:42), gnashing of teeth (Matt 13:50), darkness (Matt 25:30), flames (Luke 16:24), burning (Isa 33:14), torments (Luke 16:23 everlasting punishment!
Do you need to die to see it? According to my under of the principle, as above, so below, no not really. However without a physical body and only a spiritual body, the level of torment would just increase. Is this to say that hell is like a Chinese prison where you are tortured, gang raped, watch as your organs are cut out of you. Yes! That's why those Chinese prisons are never described as paradise in travel magazines. Furthermore in hell there is no escape when your spiritual body dies, you simply had it replaced. Ultimately mainstream christians and I might disagree as I believe people not incarnate are tortured repeatedly in hell in this manner (eg burned over and over with their melted spiritual flesh rebuilding) however these souls eventually reincarnate as babies. Often babies cry for no reason so perhaps their souls are still burning in those prior hellfires. Anyway even with new human bodies they'll suffer hell in the flesh, fail to reform, then go back to hell in the afterlife.
It's said in hell the strongest and most devious rule through punishment. We saw this in the Democrat party through the Clintons. Maybe Obama and his wife were good people, I can't say. Power is bigger than a photo opp of a pretty couple or good looking family like the Obamas though.
Ultimately power seems inextricably linked to validation and relationships. These evil doing woke socialist Democrats, absolute Bolsheviks, are like everyone else, they seek validation through each other. Just avoid these universities as much as possible where all this Godless left wing rot is spawned. People should be able to study law or anything and present to exams without attending any official institution. If I can study law alone and pass an exam set by lawyers that should be enough to make me a lawyer. The more institutionalized education becomes, the more rotten left wing nutjobs poison minds for life.
Here's an interesting article about Jesus' teachings on hell by Leslie Schmuker:
https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/the-uncomfortable-subject-jesus-addressed-more-than-anyone-else/
Keep in mind, I am not a born again Christian, I have always had an understanding of Jesus internally since childhood based on prior experience from prior lives. I've always had a very accurate (literal) picture of Jesus at home since early childhood. I do not participate in church baptisms, I do not believe earth is only 7000 years old. I never attended any churches as a child. I'm open-minded enough to take Mormons seriously and go to church with Mormons on rare occasions or fraternize with them on their missions. I do not bash queers. I do not believe the bible and the Koran are the only go to sources for wisdom. I am not such a repressed homophobic closet homo I need to go and marry some guy, pack his fudge and teabag him and his buddies faces and raise gabies in my dirty cum filled hot tub with him. I'm not hating on the homos (and dykes). I'm telling you your condition is based on ignorance. I'm reiterating Jesus' teaching that the truth will set you free. I'm affirming what modern day christians teach in their churches that the truth will set you free, regardless of how many evildoers hid amongst said churches like wolves in sheep's clothing.

Leslie Schmuker:
Reality of Hell
A friend once challenged me to show her where Jesus talks about hell in the Gospels. Even a cursory read-through shows Jesus talked about it plenty. In fact, Jesus talked about hell more than any other person in the Bible. In Luke 16, he describes a great chasm over which “none may cross from there to us.” In Matthew 25, Jesus tells of a time when people will be separated into two groups, one entering into his presence, the other banished to “eternal fire.”
Jesus talks about hell more than he talks about heaven, and describes it more vividly. There’s no denying that Jesus knew, believed, and warned against the absolute reality of hell.
Jesus doesn’t only reference hell, he describes it in great detail. He says it is a place of eternal torment (Luke 16:23), of unquenchable fire (Mark 9:43), where the worm does not die (Mark 9:48), where people will gnash their teeth in anguish and regret (Matt. 13:42), and from which there is no return, even to warn loved ones (Luke 16:19–31). He calls hell a place of “outer darkness” (Matt. 25:30), comparing it to “Gehenna” (Matt. 10:28), which was a trash dump outside the walls of Jerusalem where rubbish was burned and maggots abounded. Jesus talks about hell more than he talks about heaven, and describes it more vividly. There’s no denying that Jesus knew, believed, and warned about the absolute reality of hell.

I am not approving the modern church condition of comparing conflating Jesus with God and assigning attributes and decisions and conditions and orders made by God as if they were made by Jesus. I am not approving of this as no form of idolatry is acceptable to God. But since even God recognizes Jesus as his messiah and the latter recognizes his God that sent him, just trying to claro-oscuro the relationship there. Not even comparing it to a father son relationship as I'm not trying to humanize God and say God is a woman or man or has a reproductive organ. I'm not saying God keeds a girlfriend either or that Mary was God's wife or girlfriend. She was just a human in a very large galaxy, one of countless others. I'm sure messiahs have appeared on this and other wayward planets full of scumbags countless times.
There's an interesting topic: my status makes me feel like I'm anything but a scumbag, let's look at what Jesus said about that:
If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him? (Lk 11:13)
Most people take this second, father in heaven, to mean God. But let's say Charles Hall's Arcturus aliens living in Nevada are real. Wouldn't those fathers amongst them be in heaven, and wouldn't they give better things to those sons of theirs who ask? (Like space travel). This is to say that God manifests fatherhood to the creation mostly through actual fathers. Statisticians and sociologists normally do not reckon influence of fatherhood as based on someone's ideas of Christianity so much as if they have an actual father. It's true the gospels seem to indicate that Jesus is referring to God as his father however Jesus states that the two highest imperatives are loving God and loving the neighbor. He never says loving your father, God. Although he sometimes seems to refer to God as a father figure, paradoxically nobody ever seems to think if Jesus as a father figure.
And why should God allow desirous people evil things their heart is set on except to ease their way to hell and what has this got to do with fatherhood?
From a different author:
4. Even Jesus refused the title “good” for himself in terms of his humanity. In the Gospel of Mark we have the following dialogue: As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good — except God alone. (Mk 10:17-18). Now, as God, Jesus is good. One would also argue that in his sinless humanity Jesus was also good. But, presuming the man merely regarded him as ordinarily human, Jesus rebukes him and declares that God alone is good.

But understand this, that in the last (future times) days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.

1 Corinthians 15:33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.
But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars (eg Washington DC swamp people) their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

Psalm 91:1-16
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, ...
Referring back then to these Jewish nationalists, Paul and Judas. Keeping in mind Jesus was a gentile and not of the Jewish race. Let's consider this historical fact: after the death of Alexander the great Judea fell under the control of the Hellenistic Seleucid empire under Antiochus IV. This king repressed Jewry in general, 2 book of Maccabees chapter 7 takes a specific look at this oppression. So you see, the Judaic Christian history I believe in is somewhat different to the mainstream. It's agreed by historians that by 50bc or so the Jews had thrown off foreign rule again. Only to be put under the yoke of the Romans. Not eating pork is a relatively modern thing for the Jews, archaeologists can directly track the amounts of pig bones going back millenia in Jewish settlements. The book of Maccabees is very modern, it came after the time of Alexander the great.

This is a bunch of assumedly christians or christian sympathizers calling themselves the biblical science mob or something like that, looking at the Mandelbrot set of numbers in mathematics, that's a mystery of creation, by the looks of it:

Five different early historical references to Jesus and early christians (Pristine Christian church, actual disciples of Jesus from the 120 mentioned in the gospels):
https://youtu.be/oAjwqDa1bcI
You can see even from these five historical sources, those Pristine, earliest christians believed in eternal life and were absolutely prepared to die for their beliefs and practices. What the modern church can grasp is tv, adultery, pornography, chocolate, orgasms, lust, dopamine, money, etc, but what it cannot grasp is the simple fact of reincarnation or eternal return which means dying, spending an interlude in the spirit world in heaven or hell and then reincarnating as a baby and being successfully admitted into spiritual heaven and hell whilst incarnate. Accepting this biblical fact which is also an established fact in the Koran immediately makes the serious person take stock of her or his lot and realize her or his position relative to the Creation is her or his own doing based on actions in past lives. The fact that most mainstream followers of Christianity or Islam do not profess these obvious truths clearly discussed in their respective books is because both wish to avoid personal responsibility by professing mantras and get out of jail free cards (amongst the christians) and ancestor worship (repetition of what their fathers were doing) amongst the Mohammedeans (in fact, apart from teaching the law of reincarnation the Koran also speaks against forced marriage and repeating what one's fathers were doing just because).
Since we are all in our present lifetime on earth and only know the moment we are in, it's fine to treat it as all important. However denying the law of eternal return merely is a rejection of truth which means espousing falsehood. Since there are so many ways to run into falsehood, weakness and the wrong track in general, why contribute to that by espousing a false belief? This is why it behooves christians to consider picking up their own cross and following Jesus (ie taking serious ownership of their lot in life) instead of just repeating dopey mantras like: 'i've got a get out of jail card bro his name is JC, let's teabag everyone and everything now!'.
In fact, if you're thinking about just jerking off on everyone's chair when they're not around and teabagging all your work colleagues and saying, 'sorry, I'm a Christian, I'm saved, oh and I stole your wallet but I'm saved from blame too for that coz Jesus is my savior', remember Jesus himself said (without having your ideas in mind):
Matthew 10:
32 ‘Everyone therefore who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven;
33but whoever denies me before others, I also will deny before my Father in heaven.
So that's something you can think about at the gay club. Can't imagine it's going to work for some paedophile priest though.
Anyway let's look at this deep look into the Creation through the lens of Hubble, looking at thousands of galaxies, many larger than our own one with its folksy name, the Milky Way. Our own Galaxy is home to trillions of stars and is almost indescribably large, still life manages to travel here at faster than light speeds on countless occasions and have little to say to us as we blunder on with narcissism, ridiculousness, ridiculous pride, ridiculous vanity, pettiness: the human condition, in a word, petty. Just because life on this planet is ridiculous and petty, there's no reason to think it must be so elsewhere in our Galaxy and others.
