I suspect that Israel knew that the attack was coming and took offline many of the safeguards that were in place to prevent such an attack, like moving Israeli soldiers from around Gaza to the West Bank shortly before the attack took place. I agree that this is like Israel's pearl harbor and 9/11 becuase, like pearl harbor and 9/11, this attack likely could have been stopped by those who were in charge, but instead was allowed to take place in order to trick the public into supporting going to war.
Michael - Though hard to wrap our heads and hearts around the thought that the Israeli government would do such a thing, it has become increasingly clear, that it is now “we the people” of the world who are being attacked and destroyed by these same governments that continuously lie about all matters big and small. To what end? Ours. The ways? By wars, food shortages, depletion of oil reserves, high energy prices, etc. etc. The why? Still unclear really. One cannot get into the mind of deranged and psychopathic individuals who believe they are “saving the world” by killing its citizenry and resources through mandatory injections of an experimental MnRA bioweapon, creating conflicts and wars with other nations, and claiming it will be climate change that leads to our demise as a human race.
I don’t know about you, but I place my trust in THE ONE TRUE CHRIST ⬆️ who from the beginning to the end asks us to believe in Him so that our future’s are safe with Him and that because of His grace, though we will not be spared from death, we will have everlasting life, through and with Him. 🙏🏻
May you find peace in Christ, but more importantly... May you find one church on the planet with a Manifesto that Israel did 911 and that Zionism is Satanic.
Thank you Will! My only “church” is the Bible. I recognized earlier on while sitting in the pews of the Catholic Church as a small child that it wasn’t Christ centered. As I grew, I learned that the prosperity preachers on tv were not Christ centered either. I’ve been grateful that the New Testament has been available to me my whole life as this is where I have found the teachings on how to love and care about all people, no matter their religion or beliefs or station in life. We are all called to be fishers of men. This is my hearts desire and my advocation.
Yes, it was men who wrote the scriptures as they were lead by the spirit of God. Trust me, a million and one questions will arise when reading the Bible. The most important verses, in my humble opinion, were written about love. The apostle Paul wrote the following in a letter to the Corinthian church in the spring of 53, 54, or 55, after the death of Jesus, which beautifully sums up what love is and isn’t.
“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.”
“Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong. It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out. If you love someone, you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always believe in him, always expect the best of him, and always stand your ground in defending him.”
“All the special gifts and powers from God will someday come to an end, but love will go on forever!”
I trust you will accept my note as I’ve intended and as much as I wish you to know Christ, I also wish you much love, my friend!
Try as I might to reply to your message, I am not equipped to even understand the why’s and way’s of God. What I do know is that Jesus was brought into the world so that the truth would be fully realized by those of us willing to receive him, and also to bring salvation and forgiveness of sins.
Jesus said, “I have come that they might have life, and have it to the full.".
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son so that whoever believes in his should not perish but gain eternal life.”
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom to the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, the release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only son, who came from the Father full of grace and truth.”
“For the Son of man came to seek and to save what was lost.”
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.”
“Jesus answered: 'Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?”
Lead by the spirit of god, hmmm...why not lead by your own experiences of success and failures? That’s how lessons are learned not? Agreed most never learn to their own suffering and pain. And for those gifted with insight you can see direct for yourself. A bible full of love I don’t trust at all, seriously there are 350 bibles the sectarian not included, the people seducing with nice words like God and eternal life and unlimited love, I run far away from them. They don’t talk about love but about recruiting you into their herd, even slapping you with their credos of love around your ears. Love but wait here it is in My bible, this is politics, politics of numbers and excluding a majority of those not sharing your opinions and beliefs, it’s the origin of wars and the most soft kind of terrorism. Think in 2000 years of civilization we had 5000 religious wars, one way or another God, somebody’s god had to be defended and revenged with blood, as we see again in Gaza.
Yes, there are many, many “religions” and “religious texts” that have nothing to do with the spirit of Jesus’ love living within us. Just as when my Mom died, her spirit, the essence of who she was, still continues to live inside of me forty-six years after her death. It is the same for me with the teachings of Jesus. Just as I had an intimate relationship with my Mom for fifteen years, by reading Jesus’ teachings and testimony, I have formed an intimate relationship with Him through His words. It is through this curiosity about my own Mom and my curiosity about who Jesus was, I have been able to understand more fully who I am through both of their lived experiences and lives. Just as my Mom taught me to care for, love, and have compassion for others, which she drew upon from her own relationship with Christ, I too, sought out His word to try to understand the why’s and way’s in which I should go, to live unselfishly in His love, and to be reunited with them in God’s home. Jesus is not like the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus, a wholly made up story to sell candy and cards. No, Jesus was the example of how we should live and provided an understanding of where we will go when we die. Through His birth, death, resurrection, ascension and redemption, which He spoke of often for our benefit, He beautifully explained the ways of the world and offered to each of us forgiveness and grace if we would follow Him and His teachings, which are all documented within the New Testament. It is only through and because of His grace, not by our works, are we ourselves redeemed through and in Him. He asks us to “take up our own cross (burdens) and follow Him”. I had a choice, as do you and all of us do. I willingly choose and chose Him everyday. 🤗
Thank you Guido for spending some time with me today considering my perspective and helping me understand you more. I have no claim to righteousness in any way in the big scheme of life, nor do I claim to understand all of the mysteries set out in the Good Book, but I do know that my life has been guided by the unseen hands of God, through Christ, who’s constant refrain is reminding us to love one other as we love ourselves. One might think this request is such an easy one to adhere to and follow, but as you suggested, we all are born in the sin and darkness laid bare for all the read in Genesis depicting the fall of Adam and Eve. Maybe, much like me, that still small voice that has guided you throughout much of your life is from the ONE who knows every hair on your head (Luke 12:7) and has collected every tear that you’ve ever cried. (Psalm 56:8) Yes, there are many mysteries in this world my friend, but Jesus is not one of them. His entire life and message has been told by several different men from different walks of life, in different times of space. His message is one of generosity and true love for all of God’s children, and I for one am grateful that this includes you and I!
This chapter/paper begins the telling of the (800 page) tale of his voluntary earthly incarnation) All are free online.
I heard of this book in college, 1977-1988, but never saw a copy. A friend gave me a copy a few years ago. I have read a lot, but not all of it. I have read all of the story of the life of Jesus. I read the whole "Bible" by the age of 15, for context.
What drove me away from "the church" was the doctrine of eternal damnation for those who never heard the gospel. This served the purposes of the Roman Empire.
I sought hard for the true teachings of Jesus, and came up short. I was directed to Tibetan Buddhist practice by the cmpassionate, guiding-entity I have always felt as "Jesus".
Here is an early Valentinian teaching, mostly-destroyed by Rome, but not this copy, dug up in the 1950s, a time capsule. There are others.
REW you’re a pious person, a good person and a soul full of love. All positive so far but not applicable to my soul, in the degree of understanding that there’s such a thing like a mortal or immortal soul, I had and still have some darkness in me. In Jungian psychology it’s called the shadow, and in mysticisms the dark night of the soul. I walked many paths but I never felt an echo, a calling. Not for a God,Jesus or other prophets I have to follow my own way which I’ve been doing for 72 years now. It was a multiverse if love and disappointments but also a force inside of me, relative to admit in this infinity I only represents maybe not even a trillion of a nanosecond, but I do realise even nano’s count a lot, that’s what existence is made of. Bless you.
No more mister nice guy, you’re dead everyone is, this very next moment, tomorrow... but let it be clear you’re gonna die when your moment comes and no god, no Jesus no Mohammed or Moshe is gonna save you! Security? Are we talking about eternal life or a live precious and valuable ending no security how perfect it might be can guarantee?What the f.ck happened at the iron frontier Gaz-Isr open door?
Guido - Oh, grasshopper, read into His word in the New Testament. It is there you will find the meaning of your life. It is there you will discover the full truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God. 🤗

Jesus taught about God the Loving Father.
That is not consistent with the "god" that told the Israelites to slaughter the Caananites "man woman and child", is it?

"Try as I might to reply to your message, I am not equipped to even understand the why’s and way’s of God."
Yes, God wants to be "known" by you, so that you will not be led astray.
That is what Jesus was teaching, to "Know God", as you have just transcribed.

As you elegantly illustrate, the relationship of Living Love is the true Spirituality.
You may appreciate the Gnostic ("knowing directly") approach, since that is apparent in your path.
