What Would Jesus Say About Vaccines?

But the same word "pharmacist" is used for the person who provides the tablets you take every day, so why argue that because the Greek word from which we get "pharmacy" is translated "sorcerer" in the bible, that the COVID vaccines must be wrong?

As for the picture suggesting that even doctors don't know what is in the vaccines, that is nonsense. Whenever I have had a COVID vaccine, I have been given a leaflet which includes a list of the ingredients. These are available online. For example:

"What Vaxzevria contains
One dose (0.5 ml) contains: COVID-19 Vaccine (ChAdOx1-S* recombinant), not less than 2.5 × 10^8 infectious units

*Recombinant, replication-deficient chimpanzee adenovirus vector encoding the SARS-CoV-2 Spike glycoprotein. Produced in genetically modified human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells.

This product contains genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

The other excipients are:

  • L-histidine
  • L-histidine hydrochloride monohydrate
  • magnesium chloride hexahydrate
  • polysorbate 80 (E 433)
  • ethanol
  • sucrose
  • sodium chloride
  • disodium edetate dihydrate
  • water for injections"

The fear that a vaccine will somehow change your DNA is one I've seen aired regularly on social media.

anyone know anything about Gematria?

At the 26376696th position in π, the 2701st occurrence of 2701 (Gen 1:1) is followed by the numbers 781!

1758963507073.jpeg


781 is the gematria of sophia, meaning wisdom.

The first occurrence of the number 781 in π is followed by the numbers 640

1758963728729.jpeg


640 is the gematria of shemesh, meaning sun

shemesh (sun)
שָׁ֫מֶשׁ
21. שׂ שׁ Shin/Sin 300
13. מ Mem 40
21. שׂ שׁ Shin/Sin 300

The Leningrad Codex is the oldest known complete manuscript of the Hebrew Bible.

In it, the Tanakh (OT), the Hebrew word for sun appears a total of 52 times (89-37 word combinations = 52).

The first occurrence of the number 52 in φ is in the 781st position!

1758963933737.jpeg


The first 781 digits of π, starting with the first decimal place add up to 3501!

3501 is the gematria of human folly

The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek G-d. Ps 14:2
יהוה משמים השקיף על בני אדם לראות היש משכיל דרש את אלהים


The expression

The Lord looked down from heaven
יְהוָה
מִשָּׁמַיִם הִשְׁקִיף

has a gematria value of 951

Results:
"יְהוָה מִשָּׁמַיִם הִשְׁקִיף" in the Hebrew Gematria system equals 951

which correspondends to the words

Shema' Yisrael

Hear, O Israel: Deu 6:4a
שְׁמַע
יִשְׂרָאֵל

and

qadosh Yisrael

the Holy One of Israel Isa 41:14b
קְדוֹשׁ
יִשְׂרָאֵל

Result:
"שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל" in the Hebrew Gematria system equals 951
Result:
"קְדוֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל" in the Hebrew Gematria system equals 951

Starting from the 951st digit in π, you encounter the number 18 surrounded by the number 5778

1758964945031.jpeg


Due to its formation rule Ln = Ln-2+Ln-1, which is identical to the Fibonacci sequence, the Lucas sequence is associated with the Fibonacci sequence. However, it differs in the two initial terms.

It begins with the numbers

Lucas numbers
2, 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, 29, 47, 76, 123, 199, 322, 521, 843, 1364, 2207, 3571, 5778,

The 18th number is the number 5778!

(Note: The sequence of Lucas numbers starts with 2, 1, and each subsequent number is the sum of the two preceding ones, with the sequence listing 5778 as the 18th term in the series).

5778 is the 107th triangular number, whose perimeter is 318

5778 is around the effective temperature of the sun.

318 is the gematria of helios, sun, in Greek

helios (sun)
ἥλιος
8. Ηη Eta 8
12. Λλ Lambda 30
10. Ιι lota 10
16. Οο Omicron 70
20. Σσςϲ Sigma 200
Σ 318

888 corresponds to the Greek numerical value for Iésous.

888 (Iésous) -781 (sophia) = 107!

107 is the gematria of

No, I'm not suggesting that modern pharmacy is a practice of sorcery, I take tablets everyday but when is came to the covid vaccine it worried me as it had never been fully tested and they couldn't even tell you the ingredients that was in it.

Guardian Angel Novena (September 23 - October 1

Day 5

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Intro Prayer

O holy angel, whom God, by the effect of His goodness and His tender regard for my welfare, has charged with the care of my conduct, and who assists me in all my wants and comforts me in all my afflictions, who supports me when I am discouraged and continually obtains for me new favors.

I return thee profound thanks, and I earnestly beseech thee, O most amiable protector, to continue thy charitable care and defense of me against the malignant attacks of all my enemies.

I pray especially that you keep me away from all occasions of sin.

Obtain for me the grace of listening attentively to thy holy inspirations and of faithfully putting them into practice.

In particular, I implore thee to obtain for me the favor which I ask for by this novena (mention your request here…)

Protect me in all the temptations and trials of this life, but more especially at the hour of my death, and do not leave me until thou hast conducted me into the presence of God in the mansions of everlasting happiness.

Amen.

Daily Prayer

Most faithful guide, my angel-guardian, I pray thee, by the mission which God has confided to thee to lead me on the road to heaven, obtain, for me grace to follow faithfully and constantly the light which thou hast shown me, of the evil which I must avoid, and of the good which I must do, and do not cease to excite me to the practice of all virtue, till the last moment of my life.

Concluding Prayer

Our Father
Hail Mary
Glory Be

Angel of God, my guardian dear, To whom God’s love commits me here, Ever this day be at my side, To light and guard, rule and guide.

Amen

Another look at the moon landing.

If you want to know more why don't you read Bill Kaysing's book ? ' We Never Went to the Moon: America's Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle.'
But why do you think Bill Kaysing's book is more reliable than the sources that Herman Hedning linked to which argue against the conspiracy theories, the first of which starts:

" 'In the 1960s and 1970s the technology didn't exist to travel to the moon.'

In making this statement, conspiracists often draw parallels to the consumer technology of the 1960s. "If they couldn't make X, then how could they go to the moon?"

First we must remember that NASA was on the cutting edge of technology in the 1950s and 1960s. They had an enormous budget and attracted the top scientists in the country. At the height of the Apollo project there were half a million scientists and engineers working on different aspects of the missions.

In a larger sense, it's easy to lose touch with technology. That is, it's easy to look back to the past and wonder how we ever got along without the miracles we enjoy today. We sit at our gigahertz computers and forget that there was a time when an eight megahertz computer was pretty cool......."

Another look at the moon landing.

Sorry David, I would try to explain what it is up there but I'm not really sure as for giving evidence that it not a space station watch a few video's.
I will give you a list when I have time.
But watching a few videos doesn't prove anything. I have just done a Google search, and there are plenty of videos that show the space station, views from the space station, and astronauts inside it.

Another look at the moon landing.

Apple Sky posts some more nonsense, this time from William Kaysing:
  • NASA lacked the technical expertise to put a man on the Moon.
  • the absence of stars in lunar surface photographs was indicative of a hoax.
    • The photos were of brightly lit objects on the lunar surface. Star light is comparatively very weak and would be drowned out. See here for more: Clavius: Photography - exposure
  • there were unexplained optical anomalies in the photographs taken on the Moon.
  • there was an absence of blast craters beneath the Lunar Modules, and that the rocket engines of the Lunar Modules should have generated an enormous dust cloud near their landing sites during the final seconds of descent.
  • the death of Thomas Baron, a quality control and safety inspector for North American Aviation, was mysterious and indicative of a hoax.

BUSTED - 12 False theories refuted:

They don't prove it because they don't say it.
Daniel 9:27 & 11:31, Thess 2:4, absolutely prove there will be a new Temple in Jerusalem. Those verses are all end time Prophesies.
The sacrifices and offerings must be in operation, for them to be stopped. Your denial of this fact, questions your cognitive ability.
The Lord lives in the hearts of his people;
Spiritually yes, physically; no.
Jesus will physically Return to the Mt of Olives. Zechariah 14:4, from there to reside in and reign from the new Temple; for the next thousand years. Isaiah 2:1-5, Zechariah 14:16-21
NOTE: Zechariah 14:21 says there will still be sacrifices in the Millennium. Please explain that! I can, but you have to reject plainly stated scripture, to your discredit.
What in the world has this got to do with Jesus not teaching the stuff that you're saying?
Revelation 13:6 says the 'beast ' will revile the Lords dwelling place, then; those who dwell in heaven.
A definite separation between the dwelling place = on earth, i.e. the Temple, and heaven. Jesus said it, you reject it.
A lot of prophecies were fulfilled in Jesus. Any that weren't are not our concern.
A very poor and dismissive attitude, one that simply leaves you in the dark about what must happen.
As I've asked; what gives you the right/authority to dig up verses from Ezekiel, etc, quote them out of context apply them to today
WE all have equal authority to quote any verse from the Bible. I choose to do it, you don't.
The temple WAS rebuilt.
The Second Temple did not exceed the splendour of Solomons Temple. Haggai 2:7-9
How do you know that Zechariah was referring to a 3rd temple?
Because Zechariah 8:1-12 does not relate to any past situation of Gods people.
They didn't say there would be, either.
When Jesus spoke of the fall of the temple, Matthew 24, he did not say "but it will only be for 2,000 years, then Christians will rebuild it, even though they don't need it.".
The left the possibility open for a new Temple.
Christians, the new inhabitants of all the Holy Land, Ezekiel 34:11-16, do need a building to keep dry in when it rains.

What Would Jesus Say About Vaccines?

But suggesting that the vaccine could not be trusted because of the link to "sorcery", is not a valid reason.

It was when it came down to covid vaccines such as Pfizer.

Why were they so eager to push it ? All's covid was were a bad dose of the flu.

Hell doesn't exist and there is no eternal suffering, instead bad peolle just cease to exist

Maybe if you can actually unpack the result of the good news that by the grace of God through faith the believer is saved you would actually understand what Jesus paid for in the cross. His yoke is comfortable and His burden is easy
Yes I'm familiar with your half story method that completely denies engaging the tempter internally and thusly having evil within that defiles everyone.

You only want the good stuff and throw everything you don't like at other people

Believers who "walk in the spirit" should start with honesty it would seem?

What Does the Lord Jesus Mean by “Doing the Will of the Heavenly Father “?

I was asking his will FOR US.
None of us make a single move apart from the Will of God
Unless you are saying we are to have mercy on others as well? If so, do share your scripture passage you are using.
Well, do you really think that's going to happen if God has you locked into a mindset to see your unsaved neighbors burned alive forever or eternally snuffed out?

There's other things God has going on, i.e. the judgements of devils in people
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 is as clear as you get regarding the will of God FOR US today, it even has "will of God...for you"
If you want to see past reading thru half the text and tossing everything you don't like you might want to honestly consider where your head is at. We ALL engage the tempter internally, so you is not just you

Now ask the same question and you will get 2 different and diametrically opposed answers. And if you get that far you'll also understand why you have such ill will toward neighbors who don't believe like you

Another look at the moon landing.

How do you know what it is? It would be really helpful to discussion if instead of merely saying, "it's not a space station," you explained why you think it isn't, and what evidence you have that it isn't. Otherwise we end up like children, arguing, "Oh yes it is!" and "Oh no it isn't!" :)

Sorry David, I would try to explain what it is up there but I'm not really sure as for giving evidence that it not a space station watch a few video's.

but when is came to the covid vaccine it worried me as it had never been fully tested and they couldn't even tell you the ingredients that was in it.
"Worried that it was not fully tested" is a valid concern. I know people who had Covid, did not have the vaccine and died - also people who had the vaccine, also got Covid and did not die. Though I realise that's not proof one way or the other.

But suggesting that the vaccine could not be trusted because of the link to "sorcery", is not a valid reason.
