Philadelphia Commons Institute
Добавлен 8 мар 2014
Philadelphia Commons Institute (formerly Agora Institute) seeks to cultivate civic dialogue, engaged citizens, and the common good through interdisciplinary research and programs. In the same way that William Penn introduced shared green space into his city of Philadelphia, we envision a shared intellectual, dialogical space where all are invited to ponder together the virtues, truths, values, and habits required for human flourishing within a free and ordered society.

I am convinced that some churchs' very bitter anti-gay views are political, and NOT theological. The church has an enormous amount to answer for. I know that personally.
So the Hebrew desert god Yahweh is a bearded man?
Core lesson from his story: Christian fundamentalism weaves a terrible death into the minds of innocent children. It destroys their potential for intellectual, emotional and spiritual development. Wes keeps striving valiantly and courageously to overcome self hatred but the many power systems of his Southern Baptist origins forever prevail. Unbeknownst to his highest and best self, his earliest indoctrination still controls him, still wills him to conform to be loved. He deserves to be free of torment but freedom and peace require him to first recognize his real tormentors.
God help us when spiritual vocabulary is admired by the public. God save us from dullness. You have heard it said, if men were angels, governments would not be necessary, but I say to you, if men were not State-Chattel, governments would not be tolerated. The Christian passes the mirror test by boldly claiming the mirror is defect. There being no magic, by definition, leads to Alex Jones performing a singalong to lure his targets, yammering nonsense in Jesus-lingo. The Christian is among us in seats of power again. Those publicly insulting intelligence with suggestions progress is made with one foot in fantasyland. Like the mother of The State, once again creating the vast bulk of our oldest documents, records of looting & torture. The pro-life SCOTUS makes a stench of itself. Trump, violently, gets a picture of himself with The State, holding up a bible in front of a church, a photo opportunity. State-Chattel are conditioned to alarm when it is "too late" - Quote from 1979 POTUS report, a review of science, of greenhouse gases & consequences expected now-a-days. State-Chattel are conditioned to being told what to do, & how it will be. "There's one for you, nineteen for me". A still tongue makes a happy life, my chattel knows what I tell them, & Jesus says, "My sheep hear My voice." The Christian is conditioned for the fascist, the prayers to god pass through the one saying "render to Caesar." The gospels are Roman, sarcasm, rank-humor, slur, propaganda: How many John' & Mary' does it take? You have the grand character saying a wicked generation seeks signs & then have him be a hypocrite in every chapter. You have heard it said, if men were angels, governments would not be necessary, but I say to you, if men were not State-Chattel, governments would not be tolerated. Voting in a democracy is the delusion such a thing can ever exist with offshore banking, inherited wealth, organized crime, & too big to fail. In the XII century significant events take place, as described in the Gospels: the coming of Jesus Christ, his life and crucifixion, although the existing text of the Gospels was edited and most likely dates to the XIV-XV cc.

It's a FAKE! This is NOT what Yeshua looked like! Read Isaiah. The Romans beat Him so badly that you couldn't determine what He looked like. The Romans beat Jesus so brutally that people were appalled to look at Him. His form did not look like that of a “son of man,” or human. A very literal translation reads, "Even as many were amazed at him-so marred were his features, beyond that of mortals his appearance, beyond that of human beings." Is 52:14
Starting on time……😂
The face is not three-dimensional but on the contrary rather two-dimensional. A three-dimensional face does not have the same proportions as a photo as is the case for that of the shroud which, once its 3D shape has been reconstructed by computer, gives the shape more of a bas-relief than of a body. , and again, even a bas-relief seems like a lot. The 3D shape is obtained by computer only with the addition of a program which accentuates the proportions so as to have a correct 3D body, which constitutes a fraud. We find a 3D body because we implemented a program to have a 3D body. A body printed on a sheet renders an image which lengthens away from the center and which breaks up with the folds of the fabric or implements the extension of its surface because of the curve it takes. The hair must mark in a much more blurred and light way, even stick to the skull since it is the blood which must mark. Moreover, the sheet must be excessively stretched (what would be the reason?) so as not to end up in places with hollows also represented but only full ones. For that, the mark is in this sense too delimited. Where have the sides gone? Why would the followers of Jesus have stretched the sheet like this above and below (what supports the body in this diagram?) so as to mark only the solids and not the sides? it doesn't make any sense. Oh and then he wouldn't miss a game by chance? No, because given the small distance between the back of the head and the front of the head, it seems quite incredible that the top of the skull did not print the fabric and therefore not connect the two. The sample for carbon dating was carried out by three sindonologists (it is therefore difficult to say that they would have failed on purpose) including experts in ancient textiles (if they are not able to recognize a piece of sewn fabric and much more recent then there is a big problem) on a rectangular piece taken from the bottom left of the ventral image. The sample was then sent to three prestigious independent laboratories whose results are consistent with each other and with the appearance of the shroud in history. The fires of 1532 added scorch and water marks (to extinguish the fire) to this one but carbon 14 is not the only dating we have and the fact that it dates the shroud at a date different from what the believers say (the shroud was woven with flax harvested between 1260 and 1390) is not synonymous with an error of the former but just a belief of the latter. The ad hoc hypothesis of contamination by a fungus which would have falsified the dating is contradicted by the calculations made by Henri Brock which shows that the fungus should then have contributed twice as much carbon as the laundry currently contains if the fire dated only from 1800 and more than 5 times for 1500. The ad hoc hypothesis of proton bombardment is itself a mystery so great that it absolutely does not allow Ockham's razor to pass and contradicts d completely the laws of physics. There is an excellent scientific article which presents the carbon dating of 1988, the extreme precautions and guarantees that have been taken so as not to make any mistakes (great media pressure) as well as the immediate and unsurprising desire of believers to pass this dating for bad because it does not validate their beliefs. It also presents the subsequent unsuccessful attempts to contradict this dating by ad hoc hypotheses and by other datings, but whose methodological biases were too great to draw anything from them. The opinion also of Christopher Ramsey (director of the AMS laboratory in Oxford at the time of writing and specialist in radiocarbon dating) is reported there, who accepts the idea of a new dating with other techniques (tested these and not created for the shroud) in the hope that it will allow believers to no longer wallow in the denial of scientific results which in the long term will make it possible to clean up the scientific debate. The article in question dates from December 23, 2013, was written by Richard CORFIELD and is entitled "Chemistry in the face of belief". However, it is more easily found by searching for "The enduring controversy of the Turin Shroud". Quote from Christopher Ramsey in 2008 : "I'm always willing to consider any serious suggestions of why the dating might not be correct and to do further tests to investigate such suggestions. In this sens, i keep an open mind - as I would about any scientific investigation. However, my strong intuition, based on my experience in this field, is that the new hypothesis will not challenge the accuracy of the original radiocarbon dating exercise." In 1973, an analysis of the pollens and the dust of the linen concluded to a passage of this one in Jerusalem at the time of Jesus. Problem: the study lacks considerable precision, other pollens which should have been there (if that was the case) are not, as well as the calcyte deposited on the pollens during the fire of 1532 and the images of the criminologist Max Fry strangely do not report the traces of the fire (a good classic fraud in sight) which is explained by the admission of this one according to which he had taken reference images and not the real pictures of shroud pollens. For Marzia Boi in 2010: her work is neither in agreement with previous pollen surveys and their expectations, nor in agreement with the study by Gianni Barcaccia who speaks to us squarely of pollen coming from East Africa until to China, the two willingly forgetting that the Shroud was not always kept well protected but was even exposed to the public (the degradation of the pollen is therefore quite different from the ideal state they imagine) on different occasions during which an audience of believers from all over the world could come to see him. And then it is not really possible to determine with precision and safety the geographical origin of a pollen. A palynologist will tell you that we can (at best) determine the biological family to which he belongs and then see in which places in the world this family has been found over the ages, but there again it remains excessively unreliable and imprecise. The existence of the trace of the coins inside the eyes has never been demonstrated. It is put forward by several sindonologists (those who have never had the shroud under their eyes and who only base themselves on the photos) but refuted by other sindonologists and by several scientists who do not see these "pieces" when they observe the eyes (they speak rather of a pareidolia for those who believe they see them as well as on certain modifications that the photos may have received) and are based on the impossibility (or excessively low possibility) for a linen with such a seam to print signs that are so small on a piece that is too small. Covering the eyes with coins is not a Jewish custom.
In 1978, researchers (the STURP) brought to light porphyrin, albumin and bilirubin on the tissue (which we find in the blood) and therefore they concluded (this is where we sees the moment when religious researchers stop acting like scientists in favor of their belief) that it is blood but no analysis carried out to prove that the molecules come from blood. Problem: these molecules are also present in the pigments used in painting and in particular red ferrous ochre, the composition of which was found in fragments taken from different places in the shroud. We also find cinnabar and these two pigments are very present in the Middle Ages. The yellow tint to the body is due to a bone glue soak that has yellowed over time. In 2017, Giulio Fanti found creatinine and ferrihydrite on the shroud and therefore concluded that blood was present. Same problem as previous studies! For creatinine and ferrihydrite: ferrihydrite is also present in certain pigments and creatinine can easily be explained by the presence of another component also present on the shroud: collagen, which is an essential element of glue. 'bones and that we will find in certain techniques such as tempera painting, which makes it possible to obtain results similar to the study. In other words, there too it is not sufficient to certify that it is blood. Especially since the study is far from reliable. The evidence presented by the authors does not in any way support their conclusion ("the man enveloped in the ST suffered a strong polytrauma"), which is based instead on the simple overinterpretation of data from a sample whose history is unknown and a chain of dubious hypotheses not even making it possible to validate with certainty the presence of these molecules. In 1973, a medical institute analyzed fragments from the "blood stains" of laundry and aimed to detect the presence of blood. UV tests are negative, as are benzidin and microspectrophotometry. In 2005, geneticist Gérard Lucotte claimed to have found DNA from a man of Middle Eastern origin and blood type AB. Problems: his work is not published in a scientific journal but in a Christian publishing house and is therefore not subject to any peer review. Moreover, the sample used is of unknown origin (we don't know how he got it) and therefore not reliable. We can also add that Lucotte works alone, has no scientific recognition and that even the other works of his career are often more than controversial, completely biased or without peer review, which does not even allow us to qualify him as a person. qualified for this exercise. But hey, the author could have painted with blood to make his work more authentic (you have to see the number of students nowadays who each year decide to paint with their blood believing themselves to be original and are also disappointed when they see that the blood does not remain red but becomes brown) so in any case it would not mean much to find some on the linen. The various data collected, which not only refute the hypothesis of a bi-millennium origin and also conclude that it originated in the Middle Ages, are also perfectly consistent with each other and with the fact that the period in question is synonymous in Europe with an immense traffic in relics and fakes. The negative technique is nothing new in the Middle Ages, its first uses are visible from the beginning of parietal art in the Upper Paleolithic, in the Aurignacian. The Shroud is perfectly reproducible and moreover has several replicas, for example at the cathedral of Chambéry or that made by Paul-Henry Blanrue and that of Henry Brock, even if the latter mainly aims to demonstrate the feasibility of obtain such a work by the technique of tempera painting and with a bas-relief. Henri Broch's experience is moreover not unique and several other people have successfully carried out similar experiments by obtaining stains with the same characteristics (even the weak penetration of the fabric is reproduced) apart from the shape well -sure, rather due to the shape of the bas-relief used. The non-existence of replicas, if this were the case, would mean nothing in any case: many works of art have no replicas and some techniques leave enough room for contingency for the result obtained is not predictable and therefore difficult or even impossible to repeat exactly the same. The work of Doctor Pierre Barbet (location of nails, anatomical details, traces of passion, etc.) was refuted in a 1995 article by Frederick T. Zugibe which shows that Barbet's thesis is based on anatomical errors but also that the result would not conform to the Shroud of Turin. He also points out that the various stigmata saints all received their stigmata in the palms and not in the wrists. Several texts and representations (from the Middle Ages or older) describe the tortures that Christ is supposed to have received. You just need to know how to read, to get help or to come across the right illustrations. The weaving is completely anachronistic since instead of being in single stitch (mesh weave) like all the fabrics that have been found from this period, it is a crochet weaving in triple stitch, a type of weaving which requires a tool that did not yet exist at the time of Jesus. Since magic ray is not possible (physics doesn't work that way) then the stain is due to blood. Why all this blood? The body should have been washed and then embalmed and the blood coagulated a long time ago. Especially since even with fresh blood, to succeed in doing such an imposing task, the body would have to be bathed in blood. It's not his injuries that will have been enough to do that. The brand should be much more united (less details) especially on the front. Blood flow from wounds should not be able to cover the body but to have large areas without blood. Incidentally, the shroud is not recognized by the Church as a true shroud of Christ, only as an object of honor to Christ. The STURP is an offshoot of a Catholic pro-shroud guild. The majority of those who attended were believers and some were even among the high places of the Catholic guild. There was a surprising lack of specialist in the relevant field in this team, for example no specialist in ancient fabrics or medieval art. The STURP also quickly got rid of Walter MacCorne, a doctor of organic chemistry and the one who was considered at the time the greatest expert in microscopy in the world because his results did not go at all in the direction of the authenticity. In short, the STURP was simply a good big scam that only served to give a "scientific" cachet to sindonologists. In his Last Judgment of the Shroud of Turin, Chicago scientist Walter McCrone details 20 years of research on it. His conclusions are based on microscopic examination of 22 samples of fibers and particles taken from different places in the shroud. He concludes that the image was obtained from red ocher and a ferrous pigment. The Shroud artist painted in tempera the areas where the linen was supposed to come into contact with the supposed body so that a negative image resulted (more logical than if he had painted the hollows and therefore less identifiable as a fake). A vermilion tint based on mercury sulphide was then used to represent the bloodstains in the nailed places. Sindonologists speak well of posterior paint, added, or put forward some other ad hoc hypotheses but which do not come to undermine the credibility of the pigments discovered. Walter McCorne is also at the head of the McCorne laboratory specialized in the analysis of works of art and the discovery of forgeries, a laboratory which the partisans of authenticity hoped at the base that it supports their belief but who backtracked on seeing the results, as they already did for the 1988 carbon dating. Especially since we would be able to prove that the shroud dates from the first century, not the identity of the person on it. There could very well have been a fraud at the time, passing this shroud off as that of Jesus. Finally, assuming that this part of his life (like so many others) is not just a myth. We finally have no contemporary trace of him, only historians and writers evoking the Judeo-Christians and several leaders of revolt (the reason why we speak of them in the texts). The very name of Jesus does not appear until much later. So the Judeo-Christians most likely had a leader, a guru who wanted to make a new religion for himself because Judaism did not suit him as it was, but was his name Jesus? Did he live as described in the Gospels? At least for the somewhat unrealistic part? We don't know and it's a matter of belief from there. Finally, if really only the "sacred" texts count as is the case for some believers, the Gospel of Saint John speaks of strips and not of a 4m sheet.
The previous documents were not made with this Shroud in mind, but it was made based on them. This is the same principle as self-fulfilling prophecy. For Pray's Codex and its famous image of the shroud: There is already the problem of the supposed signs that only the most convinced believers manage to see. In addition, the thumbs of Jesus (echoing the refuted work of Barbet) are not the only ones to have disappeared from the image. One can also find missing thumbs on other paintings of the same period without any connection with any medical reasons: as for the feet (not represented on the image, no more than on the shroud), the hands could sometimes be sloppy or hidden because of the difficulty of representing them with good proportions unlike the rest of the body. And it would be strange if the painter had taken this detail into account but not other much more visible ones such as the crossing of the hands (not represented, it is the wrists which cross) or even the uniqueness of the fabric because the shroud, on the image, is supposed to be the fabric in several pieces attached by strips and not the table below. And that is a typical example of overinterpretation of a document. We take a detail to make a whole story out of it, forgetting the most important elements of the image, the context, etc. Incidentally, nudity is not in favor of authenticity contrary to what some authors suggest. The hands joined at the level of the sex (and the lengthening of the right arm by about ten centimeters) already make it possible to hide the nudity of Jesus, especially since Europe saw the development of macabre art in the 13th century, which comes with its share of nudity and corpses. It is also much more logical to represent the naked body because we do not bury dressed corpses, especially not among the Jews in the 1st century. For the Italian study published in April 2022: Realized by a team having already made fruitless studies because too biased on the shroud. Liberato de Caro is a believer author of numerous studies on religion while Giulio Fanti is a fanatic constantly publishing biased studies without peer review (for example his study in 2015 to prove the presence of DNA and that of 2017 to prove the presence of blood) on the subject. It is published in a journal of poor quality and allows itself a lot of abusive statements on previous studies and particularly that of carbon 14. So little reminders: 3 analyzes by independent and prestigious labs on carbon 14 against a single analysis by WAXS by actors WITH undeclared conflict of interest and having already carried out various biased studies on the shroud. The origin of the sample is no more given (precise location, size, sampling conditions, etc.) than that of the samples from previous studies carried out by the authors. This is a big problem because a sample whose origin is not clearly identified can hardly be accepted to validate a study since it could then come from a completely different place, why not from a (real) dating machine? of the time desired by the authors. We can only assume with a vague passage of the text that the sample comes from those taken in 1988 (no more sampling accepted by the papacy for a long time) while these nevertheless posed a problem for the study when it evoked carbon 14 . Allows himself to discredit the study by carbon 14 without any defect having ever been proven in the study, only suspicions raised to the rank of arguments and proof by sindonologists. Makes some ad hoc assumptions to justify its existence. Claims that what she is trying to measure could not give a medieval result because it would require high temperature and humidity (for which there is a lack of justification in the study) but suddenly forgets that the shroud has undergone the heat of the fire and the water that was used to extinguish it, a fire that was nevertheless used as an excuse just before to discredit carbon 14. Obvious contradiction. The study is also based on the assumption that the fabric would have been kept throughout its existence between 20°C and 22.5°C with a relative humidity of 55 to 75%, but the sheet was kept in churches for a long time ( whose temperature was much lower) and sometimes exposed or traveling, not to mention the heat of a fire and the water to put it out. We therefore already have no justification for the need for these figures but nothing either confirms and proves that the sheet would have remained at these temperatures in addition to not giving the exact source of the figures. Published in a predatory journal with little respect for peer review. Published in a few weeks (less than a month) and based on a dating technique developed 3 years earlier by the same team in a publication published in 2 weeks (it generally takes an average of 3 months for a study to pass the review by peers in a serious journal) having strangely no echo in the scientific community, any more than this study for that matter. There alone, it's already a very, very bad start and therefore makes it possible to refute most of the assertions of the study as well as to understand that we are very far from a serious study.

Finally the Orthodox are talking about the Shroud, which was stolen from Constantinople by the Crusaders and claimed thereafter by the Catholic Church.
The Holy Shroud or Mandylion was not claimed by the Catholic church is was owned for centuries by the Savoy family, the last king of Italy, who bequested it to the Pope upon his death. It has been in Turin since the XVI C per request of the Savoy family and it can not be moved to any other place. Currently, the Vatican is the custodian of the Shroud.
Otherwise it sounds interesting!
No sound.
There's many scriptures that contradicts false teachings but just look at God's 2nd command: You shall not make you any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth: 9 You shall not bow down yourself before them, nor serve them: for I the LORD your God am a jealous God.." After commanding man never to make any idol, graven image, likeness of anything to be prayed to, idolized, worshiped, bowed down to, he would never, ever contradict himself by making an image of himself. Why do u people believe man over the word of our Creator? Is God a liar? or is man? "In vain, they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of MEN" Mt 15:9
If it is GOD HIMSELF, who has done IT, where is the contradiction? Besides the primacy of LAW has been replaced with the everlasting covenant, that whoever believes in CHRIST shall be saved and receive eternal life. Who are you to question the ways of GOD?

Anyone who knows the Bible, will know that the image on the shroud of Turin isn't Jesus. The manner of the Jewish burial was, Strips of linen cloths and a separate head cover. See Jn 11: 44. Jn 19: 40. Jn 20: 5--7. Please note, there's no shroud. Plus the image on that shroud is recognized as a man, whereas Jesus wasn't. He was so badly marred that the people around the cross were horrified at the sight. Jesus was so badly whipped open that He could see and count His bones and intestines. The image on the shroud of Turin looks nothing like Jesus would have looked. Why don't you people read and believe the Bible ? .
And so after that vision if the triangular piece of liquid crystal looking cloth, at around 1:00 perpendicular to the spot where it appeared, a month more or less, on a ten feet high Adobe wall, the image began to appear, first the face then the wholeness of the face followed. Then the lines of the shoulders took shape, it developed into an arm , two arms and hands exactly like the image of the Shroud of Turin. Then the lines and shape of the hips until the thighs and the legs and feet appeared completing the the image of the imprints if the Shroud. I walked towards it, telling my mother to look as well at the apparition. She signed with her hands that I should keep quiet. As I said to my mother with great amazement and realization that is Jesus Christ . . . The man of the Shroud.
I testify of my Roman Catholic faith that I personally witnessed a physical vision or apparition of what is identical with the imprints of the man of the holy Shroud if Turin in year 2001, a few months the great late Pope John Paul II declared 2000 as universal jubilee year. More or less a month before the apparition in the same place, I witnessed outside the front door of our rented house, a somewhat triangular piece of cloth like it was cut out from the helm of a dress, floating a foot from the cement pavement. It looked like a bright liquid crystal that was moving in little movements as if it was preparing to move away from me because I was planning to jump and grab it. Then when my right hand touched it, it vanished slowly and was followed by the sound of distant thunder from the skies. The the sun in the sky appeared somewhat darkened with yellow hue of sunlight like it was a weak solar eclipse.
Quit wasting your time on forgery this is not biblical first and foremost, and Jesus had strips of linen for his body and separate cloth to cover his head, according to the gospel of John 20:6-7 and that type of herringbone weave were not known from the time of Jesus, and the image on the shroud was formed by a photographic technique was available in the 13th century www.unisa.ac.za/Default.asp?Cmd=ViewContent&ContentID=7268 , Three separate labs came back with the same carbon dating concluded with 95% confidence that the shroud material dated to 1260-1390 AD sources from Wikipedia backed by scientists , Turin Shroud: “Blood” Still Fake centerforinquiry.org/blog/turin_shroud_blood_still_fake/?fbclid=IwAR1AR3wMyGCvCXHyV6vbVfb9KjiX4FYt7bxd1rtsho7KtXWY_qXtSp1Yjj4

Chosen People; Abraham = Adam, Sarah = Eve and the Promised Land = Garden of Eden need to be studied ruclips.net/video/hlWldwwg_tI/видео.html I don't know where we would be without the Chosen People of Priests, the moral Teachers. They got all the Prophets but they maltreated them. Then, they had the generation of the faithful to Abraham and Yahweh Joseph's generation of Samaritans, the Prophets and they hated them. When Jesus told the Temple Priests that he is the Messiah, they took stones to kill Him whilst when Jesus told the Samaritan Woman at Well that He is the Messiah, she left her pitcher and hurriedly went to her village to Proclaim the Good News that she has found Him but do not trust me as you yourself need to Perceive Him in Holy spirit called common sense and the whole village came out to welcome Him. That is the difference between the "Saltless People, the Tares" and the Salt of Abraham, the Wheat Plants, the Samaritans. Much more in my RUclips Videos; channel nijjhar1.

WHY JESUS WAS GIVEN THE NAME “YAHSHUA”? Jesus' Hebrew name "YAHSHUA" is made up of two words; Yah = Yahweh and Shua = Shiva = Primordial Adam. Thus, Mary was “sired” by Yahweh in Hebrew, Brahma in Hindi and Khudah in Arabic, the Lord of the visible creation and our demiurge father in heaven, whom you see in his creation with two naked eyes, and Angel John, the Baptist, Prophet Elijah (My god is Yahweh, Brahma, Khuda, etc., the heavenly father of Jesus) baptized Jesus in the name of his heavenly father “Yahweh,” and the Jews in the name of their tribal father Abraham. Thus, Mary was a surrogate mother and Joseph from the tribe of Judah through the line of King David, his adoptive father. This is the First Proof of the Virgin Birth of Jesus.

Holy spirit, common sense, shatters the fetters of the dead letters, the Holy Books. If we have One God, our Supernatural Father of our souls, then there should be one Faith and not many in which the spiritually blind people define an elephant. In Christianity, Jesus said One Fold called Church of God headed by One Shepherd, our Bridegroom Christ Jesus/Christ = Satguru Nanak Dev Ji, the Second coming of Jesus. Solid Proof; this Golden Temple is of the same size as the Holiest of Holy that used to be in Jerusalem and its Curtain holding the Secrets of the Oral Torah = His Word was rendered from Top, the Temple High Priests, to Bottom, the village Rabbis off you go - Luke 16v16; Law and Prophets were till John and thus, everyone makes a direct approach to God through His Word = Logo = SATGUR PARSAD. So, these hireling Dog-Collared Priests in the Churches, Mullahs in the Mosques, etc., they cannot give your account to God ...... Today, the Last Prophecy Matt 13v24-30 is being fulfilled.

On 14/05/2018, the President of America Donald Trump pressed the TRIBULATIONS BUTTON by declaring Jerusalem to be the Capital of Israel. Israel is supposed to occupy all its Promised Land and that would ignite the Atomic Bombs. The Natures of these “Tares” is well depicted in the destruction of Iraq wherefrom Yahweh picked up the Rootstock Abram and Sarah as Adam and Eve and gave them the Promised Land as the Garden of Eden to enjoy the best fruit of Mother Earth. There were no WMD in Iraq is confirmed by a retired Major General who runs a Ministry and he told us in a sermon.

I have never been able to understand the notion of scapegoating at work here. That someone be required to undergo such a horrific death to satisfy a step or series of steps within a matrix of redemption installed at the beginning of time defies simple justice. That someone should lay down their life for another is NOT the issue. What is the theological logic behind such a mechanism?
It’s not about justice it’s about mercy and love

@@jlouis4407 Many thanks for your suggestion. The problem there is with the notion of God needing to learn something. The concept of a perfect God does not admit of the idea of an ignorant God. If He is perfect, why would he require an education in suffering? If he is not perfect, he is not the Christian God. Personal ly no, I would not want anyone to undergo such torture. If this were the Middle Ages, I believe your feet would be warming up quite nicely about now.
None too complimentary about Barrie Schwartz. Barrie is more knowledgeable about the shroud and far more well known than this man.
I'm also same sex attracted guy born and brought up in Methodist family.I'm born again Christian.Since the day I understood about myself these attractions I tried hard to change them through gay conversion therapy offered by Exodus international and naarth.My attractions never changed and in 2016 I became depressed (major depression) and started thinking about suicide. Then God worked(he had been working all the time) in my heart brought my attention to unconditional love and free gift of righteousness. God told me in my heart that heterosexuality is also not his design. Our culture has cheated us saying homosexuality is sin but never told us that God considers heterosexuality also as sin (I'm not talking about attractions but actions ). The problem is natural human loneliness and the desire to be loved. Heterosexuals have avenues like marriage but homosexuals have nothing like that. This creates the incredible injustice for people like me because I can't express my love and attractions to somebody within a legitimate setting like marriage. In my case I don't want to marry a guy I want to marry a girl but I want to tell her before we go further in dating. I don't want to use her to cure my attractions. I just want to share the rest of my life with a woman. And I know my same sex attractions will not go away ever. And I would like to tell her that before even she develops interest in me. I don't want to use scriptures I don't want to manipulate her in any way. If she wants to marry me I will marry her if doesn't want to then that's OK for me. My attractions are not going to go away just like any heterosexual's attractions don't go away after his or her marriage. Instead of extreme approach we need a common sense approach here. Some gay (as well as straight men) men wants to remain celibate, it's OK. We as a church should not consider them as any inferior to married couple in any way because everybody's life is different and God leads them in his own way we are just helpers. The church should stop preaching that heterosexuality is normal and homosexuality is abnormal. Both are abnormal from God's original plan for Adam and Eve before the curse. The only truth is Jesus Christ not culture not traditions not trends not the church (there is no church or marriage in heaven or in next life). Jesus said look above he never said look down or look around but to LOOK ABOVE. As far as gay marriage is concerned I don't have any opinions. But one thing is clear to me that sexual immorality and sexual attractions are different things. A person can be heterosexual or homosexual but being sexual immoral is a sin. If two gay men decide to get married and be loyal to each other till the end then I honestly don't know what to say. We are under the covenant of mercy.The church should humble itself and genuinely ask guidance from Holy Spirit. BEING HONEST AND LOYAL IS THE BASE OF ANY RELATIONSHIP.
As a female, I've always thought I'd marry a guy and raise a family. But every guy I give a chance has an expectation I can't fulfill: I'm not attracted to him, and there's no romantic spark. I've come to recognize that I'm asexual. But still I keep thinking, like Wes in college, that that may change if I met the right guy. I recognize that it may never change, and if it be God's will for me to never marry, then I'll accept it. I'm glad to see that men like you exist, who want a Christian marriage without the sex. Though, God instituted marriage as between a man and a woman, so marriage between two men or between two women isn't a marriage. If it's celibate that'd be committed roommates, not marriage. (I would advise against such an arrangement, though. Putting two homosexual same-sex people in a house together doesn't seem like a good way to avoid temptation.)
I just recently started looking to scripture because I’ve struggled with same sex attraction since I was little. This three year old comment is exactly how I think as well.

Unfortunately, the Shroud of Turin is fake. Here is a video debunking it. The body in the image is female, so it CANNOT be Jesus Christ. ruclips.net/video/Dqf27nhAQFE/видео.html
For all the examination of the Shroud which has been done, it seems that hardly anyone looks to what the Bible has to say about the Jewish burial practice of the First Century: wrappings (plural) and not just a single piece of cloth. See John 11:44 and 20:6, 7 as well as Luke 24:41.
There is actually another separate piece of cloth that is purported to be the cloth that was around His head - not totally positive, but I think it’s in Spain. Not sure if there has been testing on it.
@@debranihan8906 Look at an Orthodox icon of the Raising of Lazarus: he comes out of the tomb wrapped in strips of cloth, not one big piece like the Shroud of Turin. The Shroud simply does not conform to the burial practices in the time of Christ.
The following video offers new information on the shroud based on recent applications of current technology. It approaches the shroud strictly from a technological perspective and makes no claims as to the identity of the image. ruclips.net/video/xAVZp9tW5FU/видео.html
@Shaun Daugherty @Shaun Daugherty Evangelium of John is written in simple Greek. Thus describing both resurrections he might have used word Othoniae , but he meant Sindone. In 1st century, noone was burried in strips of linen. The wrappings might had been used to hold still head and jaw, arms and legs. That's why he might have used plural.
"...and then it wasn't spoken about for the next 500 years." (1:11:29) I wish that we would choose our words more carefully. It is possible (even likely) that it may HAVE been spoken about (albeit not widely so), but we simply don't have access to that evidence. To state conclusively that the Shroud wasn't spoken about, supports the scoffers claim that it therefore was non-existent.
"Scoffers"? Christians like you are pathetic, encouraging your fellow Christians to be economical with the truth just to suit your grubby moral requirements, genuine Christians don't need the shroud to buttress their faith. Who cares if the evidence-based history of the shroud is none existent before 1389? It's not gonna bother my faith in Jesus. The Romans crucified thousands upon thousands of people, from Jerusalem to the UK & there's evidence (nail left in the heel bone) that crucifixion was a regular form of punishment & execution. I see no reason why faking the shroud of a crucifixion in France couldn't be done. Everyone is entitled to an honest opinion & mine is that the first documented proof of the shroud is the Bishop of Troyes writing to the Pope in 1389. He wrote that his predecessor had located the forger of the shroud & the forger confessed that he'd made the shroud. And the results of the Carbon Dating 1260-1390 AD fit perfectly with the date of the Bishops letter 1389 AD.
I have watched about half of his presentation and I am running out of time to continue. However, I find it notable how little Fr. John has made reference to the Desert Fathers. The Apostle John wrote, "But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him" (1 John 2:26). I mention the Desert Fathers because the teach a way of knowledge which goes beyond science and philosophy to directly apprehend the logoi of this world. The Apostle John is pointing to this approach in what he wrote. The world which we see is a fact; how we interpret it is another matter. Are we going to interpret what we see according to mere human effort or are we going to form our approach to God's world according to what He has revealed? If one were to take the consecrated elements of the Eucharist into a lab and perform scientific tests on these elements, the scientific conclusion would be that they are merely bread and wine. However, Christ revealed that these elements are actually His Body and His Blood. I say all this simply to point out that human effort toward learning uninformed by the Faith is inferior and should not be used to deny what God has revealed as so many scholars today, including Orthodox scholars are apt to do.
