False. God has all power, so whatever the reasonIsrael was limited in winning that battle has zero to do eith God lacking power.

The book says God was no match for iron chariots. In reality the so called Israelites simply lost as they have so often regardless of the false claims of the redactors.

Babble all you like. Seems like incoherent rubbish to me.
The problem is you is you. You are 0 for 3 now.


27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people's bones and all uncleanness. 28 So you also outwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

29 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous, 30 saying, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ 31 Thus you witness against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers. 33 You serpents, you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell? 34 Therefore I send you prophets and wise men and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and persecute from town to town,35 so that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of Barachiah,[f] whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. 36 Truly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation

Wow, Colter.

Your mind's in the gutter, isn't it?

Oh, well ... you're thinking like a scientist here, I guess.

Incest wasn't "incest" until the Levitical law made close marriages off limits.

Then it was incest.

All in God's time.

And for the record, why is it called "marriage" when homosexuals do it, but "practicing" when it was done back in a time when marrying a close relative was legal?
That's rich! You sound like an Obama press secratery.

The earth was suposidly drown for wickedness but in your dishonest mind incest was ok until the Leviticus laws. My what a web you've woven trying to defend the deception of others.

So you go from spewing idiotic doubts about Scripture, to posting some with no connection to anything on topic, or in the same solar system. Clever.

Yeah, see, I'm never quite sure what you mean by "THE missing link". Is it a transitional form between humans and apes? Because those are easy to find:

You were having trouble comprehending the subjugation of the prophets that were formerly mistreated by the same priest class. Jesus gets it if you don't. So I quoted him on the same subject but now you can't even peice that together. Go back to sleep!

Actually DNA comparison show how species maintain their distinctiveness, which is precisely what creation tells us -- each species AFTER ITS KIND. So rather than support evolution DNA differences refute evolution:

DNA was the icing on the cake, in regards to evidence to support evolution.

Sorry.

Keith, have you ever asked "The Holy Spirit in His/God's Holy Discernment" to flow through your heart soul mind and body while you are reading His Holy Word...His Holy Bible - His Old Testament and New Testament? God explains ONE on one to each of His Children - all of us whom simply ask Him through our Lord Jesus Christ and our Blessed Virgin Mary Mother of God, our Heavenly Mother Mary. The Prayer that Jesus hears and answers every time with His Sign of The Cross is the following:
"O Blood and Water which gushed forth from The Heart of Jesus, as a Fount of Mercy for us, I trust in You" x times while looking at Jesus' Holy Wounds on His Holy Cross.

Thereafter, read and wait for Jesus, God and The Holy Spirit to answer your questions about His Earth. Fasting if healthy assists in "receiving" Jesus into one's own heart (just as Ezra did with God and Jesus did with God His Eternal Father, repentance, prayer while meditating on Jesus' Holy Wounds, His Sorrowful Stations of His Cross, talking to Jesus in trust and quietness then waiting for Jesus to respond) with a few Our Father's and Hail Mary's to Jesus and our Blessed Virgin Mother Mary.

All the best in our Lord Jesus Christ our Merciful Saviour Keith,
This is The Jubilee Year of Jesus' Divine Mercy - His Divine Mercy is available to all during 2016 - for those who turn to Him, repent sins to Him in genuine remorse and reconcile with Him from our hearts.

FATIMA DAY


This morning during prayers, the Blessed Mother appeared to me. She was very joyful.


She smiled and said, “I come on this day, Fatima Day. Thousands and thousands of people will gather in Fatima to celebrate 98 years since My apparition. Even St John Paul the second and all of Heaven will be present. Hopefully, Pope Francis will be present too.”

“Pray for Pope Francis. He works very hard to bring the faithful back to him.”

“I know you would like to be in Fatima too. Since you cannot, go to church and we will all meet spiritually together.”

I said, “Blessed Mother, will world peace come soon?”

She answered, “Not likely. It needs much prayer and conversion.”

Thank you, Holy Mary Queen of the Most Holy Rosary. Pray for us.



8 December 2015

Feast Day of the Immaculate Conception

Lord Jesus appeared to me and spoke to me during the prayer of the Holy Rosary (during the Holy Hour of Grace) and before the Holy Mass.

He appeared in a white tunic. He was very joyous.

Jesus said, "My child I want you to tell people you are going through very difficult times: terrorism, wars and difficulties in your lives. You don't feel safe wherever you go."

"However, know that you are also very blessed that you live in this extraordinary time. I give you a very special Grace of Mercy"

"My successor, Pope Francis in Rome was given a special grace from Heaven, for all who wish to receive this very special Gift of Mercy and forgiveness which comes from My Love."

"Let me remind you My children that you must go to Confession and Reconciliation, to be forgiven for all your sins so that you may live in a state of Grace."

"My Children, even though this special Grace of Mercy, given to all My children, is for a year, it is only a short period of time."

"Be very grateful and appreciative. This Grace will not last forever, I shall close My Gates of Mercy soon."

"Take the opportunity now to accept this extraordinary Grace while it is given to you. Encourage others to do the same. Speak to people of My Love for all, while the Gate of My Mercy is gushing forth and flooding you from Heaven, purifying and cleansing you of sin."

"Pray for Pope Francis, he is really trying very hard to encourage people to change for the salvation of their own soul."

If a person truly repents from their heart and passes through the Gates of Mercy, then if that person was to die suddenly during this Year of Mercy their soul can reach Heaven right away.

Merciful Jesus, have mercy on us all and give us courage to go through this time. We thank you for this Great Grace that You give us.




11 December 2015

Our Lord said, "My dear children, I want you to have a very Holy Christmas and a peaceful and joyous Christmas. Don't look at the material world and what it offers you. Keep it very humble and simple. I will bless you abundantly my children."

I said, "Thank you Lord Jesus."



Sunday 13 December 2015

This morning while I was praying, the Angel of the Lord appeared to me and said, "Come, I will take you with me and show you something."

In an instant we found ourselves in St Patrick's Cathedral, Parramatta.

I could see many people and I could see a Priest standing amongst these people. The Angel and I joined them. At first I thought these people were Holy Souls but they were not.

The Priest spoke and said, "Come, we are all going in a procession outside into the courtyard." The Angel and I joined the procession.

As we stepped outside I could see to my left what looked like a white ribbon hanging off the steel railing. The ribbon was about 20cm in width and made of paper and covered the whole length of the railing (about several metres). The ribbon was a decoration along the one side of the courtyard.

As we gathered around the Priest he spoke again and said, "Today people we are here to celebrate Environment Day. It is a very special day. It is such a beautiful creation that man has made."

After listening to the Priest, I said to the Angel standing beside me, "But God created all nature and the environment."

The Angel said, "Just listen to what he has to say."

In response to what the Priest had just said I could hear some people saying to each other, "But is not nature and the environment all a creation of God?"

The people were surprised that the Priest was saying that it was not God's creation but the work of man.

The Priest then raised his right hand and said, "But people listen! We have to accept what man has tried to do for the environment."

As he was saying this he was instantly struck down by God and became mute. I could see his tongue become very long and was loosely hanging out from the left side of his mouth.

I said to the Angel, "This is terrible."

The Angel explained to me, "The moment the Priest tried to brainwash people about man's role in regard to the environment, he was struck down by God and he could no longer speak."

The Angel continued, "That is what they are trying to do in the world today. Brainwash people into believing that man can change and control the environment. You must tell people that they are not to listen to this nor believe this. God is in charge of all creation. He created everything and everyone."

"Tell people to pray to the real God Who is God the Father, the Creator of the whole universe. Tell people to pray for guidance so that they will know the Truth."

The Angel said, "The vision you are seeing is what is happening in the world right now. The Church has been pulled into this movement for the environment."

Later in the morning, I actually attended Holy Mass at St Patricks Cathedral, Parramatta. Today was a special celebration for the blessing of the Holy Door to signify the commencement of the Year of Mercy.

After Holy Mass I walked into the foyer of the Chapel and there were two television screens. They were projecting images about our environment. I was stunned and shocked when I saw this. This confirmed that what I had seen with the Angel this morning was reality. If Priests speak against God's creation of the environment they will be severely punished in the next life.

On many occasions our Lord lamented to me, "I, the Creator of the Universe and everything in it, and I have to be under the feet of mankind with his advancements in science and technology all done without Me."

"Because of that I will severely punish the World to tell mankind, 'Who is the Creator, man or God?'."

Jesus was very upset with tears in His Eyes when He said this. He was dressed all in red.

Lord have Mercy on the whole world.

This morning during prayers, the Blessed Mother appeared to me.
Mary was a sinner saved by grace.

And notice Gabriel said:

Luke 1:28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

Not:

Luke 1:28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou above women.

God did not give the law against incest until Mt. Sinai, thousands of years later.

That sounds like a very "lawyerly" argument to me. Too bad it's not biblical. It doesn't matter when God gave the law against incest. "A thousand years are as one day with the Lord", (2 Peter 3:8). So the time span you site is irrelevant to the way God reckons things. Three thousand years of our time, would be like three days to God. Also the scripture states emphatically "God does not change", (Malachi 3:6, Psalm 102:27, James 1:17). So incest in Adams time is regarded by God no different than incest would be regarded today. Sin is sin. God would not have approved of incest committed by Seth, or his descendants. So the whole incest theory is unbiblical and illogical conjecture. Like I said, the attempts of theologians to explain the story of Cain and Able are rotten with unbiblical assumptions. Incest, clemency for Cain unmentioned in the story, and Adam's descendants also being the inhabitants of the land of Nod among them. According to "Occam's Razor" among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected. Arthur Conan Doyle also says, "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth". Sounds to me like I win. Both Seth and Cain married the descendants of evolved early man, who inhabited the lands to the east.

By the way, I agree the story of Noah and the Ark is also pretty perplexing. Why did Noah plant a vineyard and become a drunkard at the end of the story ?! After all, Noah had dutifully carried out everything God had told him to do. Why the nervous breakdown then ??! Is the answer in the story itself ? The part of the story I find intriguing is where he sends the dove out to look for dry land, and it comes back with a olive twig in it's beak plucked from a tree. Now that's incredible !.. How did an olive tree survive a global salt water flood that covered the entire Earth ?! (ANSWER). IT COULDN'T HAVE !!!.. I'm sure Noah intuitively understood the same thing the instant he saw the twig. Somewhere, out there beyond the horizon was a land that hadn't been flooded.

If Noah also understood the truth as to who Cain and Seth had married, he understood Cain's bloodline was still waiting for them out there somewhere just beyond the horizon. In Noah's mind, the flood, the loss of life and everything he and his family had endured, was meaningless. There would have to be another flood down the road. Which explains why he planted a vineyard and became a drunkard. At least, that's what I think.

I am saying stop stuffing monkey heads in with dead men's skulls and pretending we are animal derived.

I love how YEC complain that there are no transitional fossils, but when you show them the various transitional fossils we've found thus far, they simply ignore them, or handwave at them.
