But still my guy have you ever for once considered to know, just to think for once it could actually be true.

what will happen to you?

there's a chance you know, people all over the world saying this means it might be wrong and again might be right... you never know... think about you for once.

I am not doubting the existence of a creator,.. Not at all.. We call the creator CHUKWU in igbo.. But one thing I am 100000% sure of is that the creator is not part of creation.. I mean is that even possible at all... Think about it for a moment..

The story of Jesus being God is a fiction at best . and mythology at worst..

There is no other way round it.. If I was Joseph and you happen to be my friend, and I tell you a spirit impregnated my wife, you will Laff at me won't you?.. Assuming we lived in the first century with only the old testament at our disposal, there is just no where in it a prophet prophesied that God will impregnate another man's wife, or that the Messiah was coming to die for sins.. Or the Messiah will be a product of the Holy Spirit..

There is no heaven or hell anywhere. You guys should stop this scaremongering. This is 2020 and it’s appalling that some people still believe this nonsense.

You will only weep if you know what some people really believe..

bro calm down first... let me call the psychiatrist for you... NL abeg help me hold this pikin before I return.

But you know all he said there if you really think it through..

I mean we can't live our lives over things written by people we don't even know, what if they where writing a fiction.. And somebody just gathered it together and started deceiving people with it...

We will never know, but we do have a brain, at least we should use it.. Whatever does not sit right well with you is probably a lie..

Do a search and study yourself, try and see if you can understand it.. Start with what your ancestors believe.. Before learning about other people's own..

Whatever God, the One of Israel, has made is good, and like the great first Cause, the seven Spirits all are good, and everthing that comes from their creative hands is good.

Now, all created things have colours, tones and forms their own; but certain tones, though good and pure themselves, when mixed, produce inharmonies, discordant tones.

And certain things, though good and pure, when mixed, produce discordant things, yea, poisonous things, that men call evil things.

So evil is the inharmonious blending of the colours, tones, or forms of good.

Now, man is not all-wise, and yet has will his own. He has the power, and he uses it, to mix God's good things in a multitude of ways, and every day he makes discordant sounds, and evil things.

And every tone and form, be it of good, or ill, becomes a living thing, a demon, sprite, or spirit of a good or vicious kind.

Man makes his evil thus; and then becomes afraid of him and flees; his devil is emboldened, follows him away and casts him into torturing fires.

The devil and the burning fires are both the works of man, and none can put the fires out and dissipate the evil one, but man who made them both.

I don't understand this your epistle... Is the devil a mistake of creation? Yes or no..

This man go and find somewhere to sit joor. Did I say God created Satan? You sha wan prove a point.

God created him good (an anointed cherub Isaiah called him) but he turned himself to be torment against God's people. He's addressed in heavens as accuser of the brethren and when he's rebuked and sent down, there's peace in heavens.

So he is a mistake of creation by your assertion.. Is that what you are implying?


So if God created him good.. Where did he learn evil from?.

God judges intentions not speech. The Almighty knows I'm not making any insults.

The truth is what I said. There's someone called Satan. He's the hater of everything good.

May be you read my comment again, this time meditatively.

Why would a loving God create such a being? To torment his his children?

Leave the story! We sha know there's Satan, the hater of good. Period

This is an insult against God..

Because the planet Venus generally refers to a female, it has to be Mary? See leap!

That is her planet... When the creator created the universe, he gave every god their domain and station... Some the air, water trees and heaven..

Earth was for all of them..

What is the colour of the people who created him?..
He was modelled after ceaser Borgia, the illegitimate son of Pope Alexander the fifth, it was a way of telling people that he is god..




Man was created in the image and likeness of GOD, not the other way round.. Which is idolatry in disguise.

Is it not funny, they tell you to stay at home to save yourself from Corona virus.. You brain should tell you that you don't actually need it.. Why the fuss about opening it..?

Is that not we are all praying for... So that we can use our God given brain to think of proper solutions to our problems...

And learn our own history rather than the fake Caucasian history being splash on our face..

Anybody with any addition should feel free... We can all learn.

The entire world has been reduced in our minds to a mass junkyard of thingy stuff. So even G‑d gets defined as a thing...I don't mean, "you learned about things of the world." I mean, you learned the idea of things. You learned that the world is made of stuff, objects, material goomp that's just "out there". Later in life, you started running after those things, accumulating them, amassing more and more mounds of things to fill your home, your backyard and your driveway. By now, the entire world has been reduced in your mind to nothing but a mass junkyard of thingy stuff. So even G‑d gets defined as a thing —and you're trying to find the place where He fits. Because, after all, all things fit in places.

When you woke up to life as a small child, it wasn't like that. There were no things. There was just the experience of being. Of sensing, of living, of breathing and doing. Screaming, nursing, burping. Those were all real. Those are life. Things are not real. Things are fiction. They don't exist. We made them up.

The Birth of Thinginess

How did things come to be? Here's my take on it.

In the beginning, there were no things. All of humankind knew life as does a small child, even as they grew older and wiser. But then someone got it into his head to draw pictures of all the stuff he had. Eventually, pictures became glyphs, a nifty device for esoteric communication. Glyph-lovers—such as the cult-priests of ancient Egypt—created thousands of glyphs to represent all the stuff Pharaoh was accumulating. Soon the idea seeped into the spoken language, as well: the idea of a "thing"--a static snapshot of a distinct whateveritis in a frozen moment of time. Stuff was born. And the world was never again the same.

In Hebrew, verbs ruleEvidence? Because in ancient, biblical Hebrew, there is no word for stuff. Or thing. Or object or anything similar. In raw, primal Hebrew, you don't say, "Hey, where's that thing I put over here?" You say, "Where is the desired (chefetz) that I put here?" You don't say, "What's that thing?" —you say, "What's that word?" That's the closest you can get to the idea of thing: a word. All of reality is made of words. Look in the creation story: The whole of heaven and earth is nothing but words.

In languages like English, nouns are the masters and verbs are their slaves, with adjectives and associated forms dancing about to serve them. In Hebrew, verbs rule. Big, little, wise, foolish, king, priest, eye, ear--all of these sound like things, but in Hebrew they are forms of verbs. The great 16th century kabbalist, Rabbi Moshe Cordovero, wrote that everything in Hebrew is really a verb. Everything is an event, a happening, a process —flowing, moving, never static. Just like when you were a small child.1

In Hebrew, there is not even a present-tense. There are participles, but the idea of a present tense only arose later. In real Hebrew, nothing ever is--all is movement.

That fits, because Hebrew was not written in glyphs. Hebrew was the first language we know of to be written with symbols that represent sounds, not things. With the Hebrew alphabet—the mother of all alphabets—you don't see things, you see sounds. Even the process of reading is different: when you read glyphs, the order doesn't matter so much. You just sort of look and everything is there. Even modern Chinese glyphs can be written in any direction. With an alphabet, sequence is everything. Nothing has meaning standing on its own. Everything is in the flow.

Get The Flow

Things are not real. Things are fiction. They don't exist. We made them up.The flow is real. Things are not real. Ask a physicist: the more we examine stuff—what they call matter--we see that it's not there. All that's really there is events: waves, vibrations, fields of energy. Life is a concert, not a museum.

Think of writing music, as opposed to painting a portrait. The portrait artist stands back and beholds his art, his still rendition of a frozen moment—and he beholds it all at once. Then he politely asks his model to please return to the pose of that which has now become the prime reality, the portrait. A portrait of that which is but never was.

A composer of music cannot do this. You can't freeze a moment of music—it vanishes as soon as you attempt to do such. Like the fictional stuff they call matter: Frozen to absolute zero, without energy, without movement, it no longer exists. Because, in truth, all that exists is the flow of being.

The Name

The flow of being: now you have found G‑dThe flow of being: now you have found G‑d. In fact, in Hebrew, that's His name. G‑d's name is a series of four letters that express all forms of the verb of all verbs, the verb to be: is, was, being, will be, about to be, causing to be, should be —all of these are in those four letters of G‑d's name. As G‑d told Moses when he asked for His name, "I will be that which I will be."

In our modern languages that doesn't work. We quickly slip into the trap of thingness again. Who is G‑d? We answer, "He is One who was, is and will be."

There we go with the "thing that is" business again. No, G‑d is not a thing that is or was or will be. G‑d is isness itself. Oy! The frustration of the language. We need new words: Ising. Isness. Isingness. Isifying. Isifier. In Hebrew you can conjugate the verb to be in all these ways and more. Perhaps in English one day we will do the same. Until then, we are like artists using pastels to imitate Rembrandt; like musicians trying to play middle-eastern strains in tempered C Major.

And the proof: We ask questions that make sense only in English, but in Hebrew are plainly absurd. Such as, "Does G‑d exist?" In Hebrew, that's a tautology, somewhat the equivalent of "Does existence exist?"

There is no need to "believe" in this G‑d—if you know what we are talking about, you just know. You will know, also, that there is nothing else but this G‑d—what is there that stands outside isness?

Think simple: You wake up in the morning and, even before coffee, there isAs for faith and belief, those are reserved for greater things. Like believing that this great Isness that isifies all that ises cares, knows, has compassion, can be related to. In other words, saying that reality is a caring experience. Which reduces to saying that compassion is real, purpose is real, life is real. That's something you have to believe. But G‑d's existence—like most ideas that men argue about—that's just a matter of semantics.

Think simple: You wake up in the morning and, even before coffee, there is. Reality. Existence. Not "the things that exist" but existence itself. The flow. The infinite flow of light and energy. Of being, of existence. Of is. Think of all that flow of isingness all in a single, perfectly simple point. Get into it, commune with it, speak to it, become one with it —that is G‑d.

I have Been round the world... But I think black girls still win am... But the best are Chinese babe's, they will do whatever you want....

There are two kinds of girls in the world.. Hot girls and Chinese girls..

There are two kinds of love.

There is love from the womb. A parent, by nature, loves a child. Siblings, from birth, are bonded to one another. The love came first; the conditions are but an afterthought.

True, the flame may burn quietly. They themselves may not even recognize their love for one another. But it burns surely, uninterrupted. It may flicker, even hide within the coals, but it is there, always.

That is why you can’t divorce your parents, or your siblings, or your own child. Because with this love you were conceived, and with it your were born. And therefore it is not in your hands to extinguish.

Then there is the love between husband and wife. It was born long after this man and woman were born. And therefore, no matter how bright the flame and intense its heat, there are conditions by which it can be torn from its wick and disappear as though it never was.

That is why the Torah tells us about marriage first within the context of divorce. The Torah does not say to us, “This is how you marry—and if you must, this is how you divorce.” Rather, it says, “If you marry, but then must divorce, this is how it shall be done.” In the Talmud, too, the tractate concerning divorce precedes the tractate concerning marriage.

Because, to keep a marriage together, you need to know that even if the flame holds tight to the wick today and leaps and crackles, tomorrow it may untie its bond and vanish. Each day anew that bond must be reinforced, and the flame must be fed, fanned and treasured.

Yes, there are times when you must run from love, when even the Torah tells you that this wick must be broken, this bond of marriage severed.

But as long as those extreme conditions have not been met, hold tight to that flame. Even if you cannot find its warmth any longer, you still hold the memory of that love. Act with love, speak with love, ponder how that love first came to be, and relive that love. Shield it through every storm, keep it burning even as the oil is but a thin film that coats the lamp’s basin. Then, surely but gradually, the flame will burn deep inside until it reaches your very soul. And there it will awaken another love, a love that never died, as permanent as that of a brother and sister, but with the fiery intensity of husband and wife.

And so Abraham told Sarah, “Say you are my sister.” So that they bonded together in an essential bond, a bonding of souls that cannot be broken.

Their souls are brother and sister—and yet closer. If they can return to that place of oneness, a new sort of love will emerge. An unconditional love.
Because, in truth, the souls of husband and wife are brother and sister—and yet closer. Before they entered this world, they were a single being. Only as they descended to invest themselves within a body did they divide. If they can persist in their journey until they return to that place of oneness, a new sort of love will emerge. An unconditional love.

What is unconditional love? It doesn’t mean that there are no boundaries, that everything is okay and nothing must be resolved. Love requires fuel; love requires a haven from wind and storm so it can burn. Unconditional love simply means that no matter what, everything can be worked out. It means that at the core we are still one, so now let us be one at the periphery as well.

As still waters mirror the face that gazes upon it, so the heart of one person mirrors the heart of the other. Show unconditional love, and eventually you will receive the same.

way to where?.....

One of life’s greatest challenges is to understand “why?”

Often when faced with crisis, trauma, or bereavement, we intuitively search for meaning and purpose. Cold realization that we may never fathom circumstance leaves us numb.

One avenue in which Kabbalah refreshes our faith is in its presentation of reincarnation and soul migration. Although no overt reference is made in the scripture to the subject, however the greatest Kabbalists—notably the Arizal as quoted in the work Shaar HaGilgulim (Gate of Reincarnation), expound clearly its principles.

The soul is eternal, a spark of the Divine, or as the prophet Job calls it “a part of G‑d above.” The soul exists before it enters the body and it lives after the body is laid to rest. Though the soul’s place of origin is in the higher worlds, there is something that the soul can achieve in a body that it cannot achieve in the heavenly realms. It has already been explained that the purpose of creation is to make an abode for the Divine in this world. Although higher worlds are glorious in terms of revelation and offer the best reward for a soul after it has achieved its earthly mission, the heavenly realms are not the purpose of creation. It was G‑d’s desire to create a world where His presence would be acutely concealed and darkness and evil would prevail. He charged his children with the task of creating a home in this world, and the soul fulfills that mission by its adherence to Torah and Mitzvot.

Kabbalah explains that the soul is comprised of 613 channels, which parallel the 248 limbs and 365 blood Vessels of the body. These 613 channels attain eternal elevation when all 613 Mitzvot are fulfilled by a soul in its earthly descent.

Usually a soul does not manage to fulfill all the commandments in one descent, and the Arizal writes that every soul must be repeatedly reincarnated until it has fulfilled all 613 Mitzvot in thought, speech, and action. In the previous chapter, the notion of purification through Gehinom was introduced.

Here the soul is cleansed in order to be elevated to the Garden of Eden. How is this concept reconciled with the possibility of reincarnation and a return to our world? The Kabbalists explain that when a soul returns to this world, the part of the soul that was elevated by its Torah learning and Mitzvah performance is not reincarnated, rather it is only the other parts of the soul that were not affected by the first incarnation that return. The possibility of a soul being divided and part of a soul being reincarnated is discussed at length in Kabbalah. The original idea stems from the fact that the soul of Adam was composed of all future souls, and the soul of Jacob was comprised of 70 parts which were then further subdivided into the 600,000 souls of Israel. These 600,000 were then subdivided further into another 600,000. Through various reincarnations all parts of the soul are elevated and once the entire soul has been elevated the soul is no longer reincarnated. This explains the strange phenomena of why certain people engage in a specific Mitzvah in which they excel. It could be that the person’s soul descended again for sake of that specific Mitzvah.

Souls may also be reincarnated to complete a certain task, repay a debt, or rectify a sin. In fact the concept of reincarnation as rectification for sin is well documented by the Kabbalists.

Most fascinating is the study of soul migration, which is how a soul from a previous generation is reincarnated in a later generation into a specific set of circumstances which are tailored to engineer a rectification of a previous sin. Of the hundreds of examples, we shall quote one here which is documented in the book Shaarei Teshuvah (Gates of Repentance), written by Rabbi Dovber of Lubavitch, a foremost Kabbalist and chassidic Rebbe. When we take a look at the period in history of the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492, we stand perplexed as to why that generation had the awesome task of deciding between apostasy and burning at the stake. Why was it at this particular junction of Jewish history, Jews had to endure such horrible torture and exile at the hands of the Inquisition?

Rabbi Dovber writes the following:

In the times of the first Temple, they served G‑d and did not cast from themselves the yolk of heaven, except in certain idolatrous practices for which they had tremendous desire, so much so that there were only left 7,000 people that had not succumbed to Baal worship in the days of Ahab. All the Kings who served these idols were great men, and they were tainted with this heinous sin of idolatry. All these generations, who were most elevated souls, did not receive their rectification and elevation until the times of the philosophers in the time of Rashi and the Rambam until the time of the Arizal, which was from the year 4856 (1096) in the days of Rashi until the expulsion of Jews from Portugal in the year 5252 (1492), and until the time of the Arizal in 5333 (1573). The Arizal explicitly stated that in his time, the period of destruction that had swept the Jewish world for the last nearly 500 years had ended. All those who had sacrificed their lives in sanctification of G‑d’s name in their thousands, and tens of thousands in each generation, all of them were souls of the first Temple. Their sin was that they had previously served idols and had nourished the Kelipot and therefore their rectification was to give up their lives in sanctification of G‑d’s name with simple faith which transcended any logic or philosophy.

Imagine a soul that entered the heavenly realms in the days of the first Temple that had been tainted by the grave sin of idolatry. The soul would greatly anticipate and appreciate an opportunity to descend once again to rectify its mistake. Any momentary pain involved, including the murderous moment of being burned alive is worth it to gain eternal elevation. Hence the soul descended to a body in a later generation for rectification.

Although the body of the Spanish Jew could not comprehend why he was being hauled through this torture, what was happening was essentially a kindness for it was the key to eternal elevation. In fact, the Kabbalists point out that the Hebrew word for “reincarnation”—Gilgul—has the same “numerical value” (gematria) as the word Chessed—“kindness.” Such presentations however have their limitations. Could one explain the Holocaust with reincarnation? The Lubavitcher Rebbe was of the opinion that although the concept of reincarnation may be a component in explaining the events of the Holocaust, one could not possibly think of such a hideous crime that would warrant such atrocities. It would be arrogant even to suggest a reason for such merciless extermination and brutality. Rather, one must take the humble position that such tragedy is beyond us. In the words of the prophet, “My ways are not your ways and My thoughts are not your thoughts says G‑d.”

Though not all sufferings can be explained by reincarnation, there may however, be help in explaining tragedies such as the deaths of people taken suddenly in accidents, illness, or war. It could be that their souls needed to return to this world for a certain amount of time in order to fulfill a certain purpose, and when that purpose had been achieved, the soul could return to its eternal abode. This may also give comfort to some couples who are devastated by infertility. It could be that a couple has already fulfilled the Mitzvah of procreation in a previous incarnation, and is therefore not required to have a birth child to fulfill the Mitzvah. It must however be noted that calculations of reincarnation should never deter one from doing all that is necessary within the parameters of Jewish law to procreate.

“The hidden matters are for G‑d, and the revealed aspects for us and our children.” One should walk simply before G‑d, and it is beyond the vision of mere mortals to figure out whose reincarnation one may be. However, in times of challenge and specifically when we feel out of control, it is good to know that all has been meticulously planned and executed in the Divine kaleidoscope.

A Final Comforting Word:

There is a verse in the book of Samuel: “For die we must, like water flows on the ground and that cannot be gathered up again; and G‑d favors not a soul, but He devises means that he that is banished be not cast away from Him” (II Samuel 14:14). Citing the closing phrase of this verse as an assurance that no one banished from G‑d by his sins will remain banished, Rabbi Schneur Zalman writes that every Jew will eventually return to G‑d, either in this incarnation or another.

When I was at school, a friend failed his end-of-year exams and had to repeat a grade. We all moved on, but he was held back.

Some think reincarnation is like repeating a year at school: while some souls graduate to the next world, others are sent right back down to rectify things.

But that’s not quite how it works.

A better metaphor would be a mobile data rollover plan. The phone company gives you 5 GB of data per month. Anything unused at the end of one month rolls over to the following month. So if you used only 4 GB in November, the remaining 1 GB is applied to your December allowance, giving you 6 GB for that month.

Your soul has multiple gigabytes of spiritual energy and Divine potential. This is the power G‑d has invested in you to fulfill your mission in life. You use that potential by doing mitzvahs. Every mitzvah activates another gigabyte of your soul energy. You have been given an allotted number of days in this world to utilize your gigabytes.

At the end of the billing cycle, when your time comes to leave this life, the activated parts of your soul go to a higher place, because that part of you has completed its mission on earth. But if you have unused soul potential, if you didn't activate all of the energy invested in you, then that unused part of your soul comes back again in another body to finish the job.

So when someone passes away, we pray that their soul find rest in heaven, because that’s where the already-used part of the soul is found. As for the unused part of the soul, it will come back down for another go-round.

First and foremost.. The original old testament was written in Hebrew.. So the big question should be what is a Latin word doing in a Hebrew scripture?.. Latin will not be spoken until like 300-500 years later.. Somebody definitely is trying to mislead.. And I think they got away with it..

I just took time now to read the whole of Isaiah 14 from an English version, translated directly from Hebrew..

Well does with proper understanding and learning will know that Isaiah is talking about a certain kind of Babylon (some say nebuchadnezzar) but he is describing this king using the morning star.....

Any body who is has done a sincere comparative study will know that the morning star is referring to the planet Venus.. So by simple inspection Venus had to be a "she".. A goddess so to speak..

She is recognized as Venus is Roman, Ishtar in sumerian, Inanna in Babylonian, Aphrodite in Greek,... And believe it or not Mary the mother of Jesus in Christianity.. She is the morning star and light bearer (lucifer)..

I am yet to come across any tale that says she is evil, I wonder where people got that idea from.

She is the goddess of death, and love, wisdom, lust.... ., She belongs to the constellation of Virgo, her symbols are the snake and lion..

She is the Olosho in the book of revelation riding a bull(Satan, her grand father Enlil)..
Only those with spiritual enlightenment can discern the messages.. It is quite interesting..
