Probably because it's all bullshit.How come we never hear about Nostradamus' predictions coming true these days?
The more I learn about these "elite" families, the more I believe this cult they are in is the Whore of Babylon in control of the final Beast (which is the global NWO) in Revelation 17.
The bad news is that no matter what happens inside the U.S., no matter who is elected or not elected, the U.S. either falls or is simply part of the NWO.
The really bad news is that when a guy shows up on the scene and "defeats" this elite cult and appears to "save the day" a global hero, that guy will be the Antichrist.
Out of the frying pan and into the fire. Although it does sound like there is about 3 1/2 years of relatively prosperous times under the AC, in the end, he will be even worse than what he "rescued" us from.

Nostradamus' predictions have 'come true' at least once every ten years of my (long) life. And are always interpreted in terms of the here-and-now.Probably because it's all bullshit.

Why do they pray to her tho? Always thought that wasnt rightI can't think of a Catholic that thinks of Mary as a goddess.
Regardless, good thought provoking read.
She has a way of approaching the Father and the Son that I don't have. She is the Mother of Jesus, chosen by God the Father Almighty to bear his Son. The most highly regarded of all humans, but still human. Assumed into heaven.Why do they pray to her tho? Always thought that wasnt right
Why does this seem opposite of earlier comments?The really bad news is that when a guy shows up on the scene and "defeats" this elite cult and appears to "save the day" a global hero, that guy will be the Antichrist.

I would say that most Catholics, including most Catholic clergy don't either, however the veneration of Mary didn't start until Constantine blended Christianity and the Pagan Religion of Rome together into what ultimately became the Roman Catholic Church. The book I mentioned earlier (The Two Babylons by Alexander Hislop) outlines this "mixed marriage" which really explains a lot of the "traditions" of the RCC that cannot directly be found in the Bible.I can't think of a Catholic that thinks of Mary as a goddess.

There is a total of 7 years under the Antichrist. The first 3 1/2 years are ones of peace and prosperity; the last 3 1/2 years is mayhem and destruction coupled with a requirement for absolute allegiance to the AC in the form of the Mark of the Beast. After the 7 years, Christ returns, defeats the AC, locks Satan away for 1000 years for the millennial reign of Jesus on earth. (Rev 20)Why does this seem opposite of earlier comments?
I was thinking the 3 1/2y were supposed to be “hell on earth” followed by 1000y of light and sanity.
Wouldnt now be a great time to (m)chat about pre trib vs post trib.........There is a total of 7 years under the Antichrist.

Everyone already knows your views on religion so an honest question......why the fuck do you continue to pop into a thread on religion where it is being discussed? You add absolutely nothing to the discussion. If you really want to give your opinion on something, try giving it on what Trump did that was not for America and Americans. Until then, stfu.An honest question.................................................................. do you really believe that ?
Is there anything in the Bible that backs up most highly regarded human or that she has some path to God we don't? Enough was thought of Enoch and Elijah that they never died. I would think they would be a more highly regarded human since they didn't have to endure death and all that that means. The bible says that David was a man after God's heart which is said of no one else. It says that John was beloved disciple. I'm just looking for where this idea comes from that would be more substantial than those examples.She has a way of approaching the Father and the Son that I don't have. She is the Mother of Jesus, chosen by God the Father Almighty to bear his Son. The most highly regarded of all humans, but still human. Assumed into heaven.
Hell of a woman to have on your team.

Thank you. I always enjoy an update and further discussion of this topic.I would say that most Catholics, including most Catholic clergy don't either, however the veneration of Mary didn't start until Constantine blended Christianity and the Pagan Religion of Rome together into what ultimately became the Roman Catholic Church. The book I mentioned earlier (The Two Babylons by Alexander Hislop) outlines this "mixed marriage" which really explains a lot of the "traditions" of the RCC that cannot directly be found in the Bible.
Edit: The veneration of the Saints also occurred at the same time. This veneration and the extrabiblical concepts are evidence of this elite cult's infiltration of the church. They brought in their "Queen of Heaven" (Lillith, Ishtar, Ashtaroth) rebranded as "Mary, Mother of God" so that they could worship her without raising suspicion of those "not in their circle." Constantine outlawed the Jewish holidays like Passover and rebranded pagan holidays as "Christian", e.g. Easter was originally the Feast of Ishtar (Easter is a transliteration of Ishtar).
This "cult of elites" proceeded to "rule" over the kingdoms via their control of the leadership of the church sometimes including the Papacy. Pope Leo X is quoted as having said "What profit has not that fable of Christ brought us!" It is likely that he was an actual member of this elite cult, which is why he would refer to the Gospel of Jesus Christ as a "fable".
When the RCC began to lose its grip on the kingdoms of the "civilized world" during the Protestant Reformation, this "elite cult" adapted, changed their tactics and began controlling kings and queens via the purse strings. They worked in the shadows, advising one kingdom to take action against another (whose king was advised by a different family in the cult to take action against the first), and then they financed both sides of the war leaving both nations in debt to (and therefor under the control of) the elite families. Eventually this became the central banking system we have now.
When the U.S. won the Revolutionary war, the Founding Fathers had the foresight to not trust in a central bank or in these families and tried to "go it alone". The elite families used their influence over the King of England to "go get back the colonies", bringing about the war of 1812. The elites then brought war after war after war to the fledgling U.S. until it had no choice but to turn to the central banking system for funding (4 or 5 acts passed by congress during the civil war opened the door for the central bank). Amazingly once the U.S. was under the central banks control the wars stopped for a time, at least until the industrial revolution made the U.S. a powerhouse and the elites used WWI and WWII to move their "power" from the British Empire to an American "Empire". IMO, there is evidence to suggest that initially it was supposed to be Germany that would be the replacement, not the U.S.; but Hitler got a big head and stopped listening to the elite families. The Nazi movement is has many of the same components that these elite families desire such as Eugenics.
The bottom line is, whatever is "controlling the civilized world", these elite families have been advising and/or controlling from the shadows for thousands of years. They're good at it.
Yes, and none of the disciples directly coached by Jesus prayed to her nor did any of the teachers in the Bible in Acts teaching churchs how they were supposed to run. When Jesus taught us how to pray, he never mentioned his mother. So by the Church's reasoning, since she was chosen, she must be special, nothing in the Bible?She was chosen to be the mother of God here on earth....
John 19:25-29.Yes, and none of the disciples directly coached by Jesus prayed to her nor did any of the teachers in the Bible in Acts teaching churchs how they were supposed to run.

It's all good. I'm just trying to learn where it comes from. Not intending to convince anyone of anything. I'm not a catholic obviously and don't know one well enough to have the conversation.John 19:25-29.
Still working my way through the gospels. About 1/2 through Matthew. I'll have a better answer for ya when done.
Mary certainly isn't the focus of the Bible. I believe she is only attributed 1 spoken line, at the wedding feast of Cana, where she commands the servers to do whatever Jesus tells them
Where did this authority come from?
Maybe it was endowed unto her by her son.
Either way, I didn't intend for this to turn into a divinity of Mary debate. It was alleged the Catholics look at Mary as a goddess. Which is not the case. We honor her and venerate her as the Mother of Jesus. We ask for her prayers. We ask for her intercession.
We do not seek from Mary what we seek from the Father, Son, or Spirit.
Do you mean they can connect/communicate with God in ways that we cannot?Is there anything in the Bible that backs up most highly regarded human or that she has some path to God we don't? Enough was thought of Enoch and Elijah that they never died. I would think they would be a more highly regarded human since they didn't have to endure death and all that that means.

Do you mean they can connect/communicate with God in ways that we cannot?
If that is your question, no in the New testament everything changed. We all have a direct line to God, not one person more important than another.
It is not that those people didn't die, they are not still roaming the earth. But they didn't die in more traditional ways. They were taken to heaven before the body was lifeless.
God does not love one person more or less than anyone else. He sent his son to die for you. Even if you were the only one.
But he also sees us exactly as we are. He sees our heart. He knows who we are when nobody is looking.
Some people believe there are different levels of heaven attained by those people you speak of, Not sure I agree or not. Don't care. If I can make it in on the very lowest level hanging on by a thread that will be enough for me. That is still far better than anything we can fathom.
Yeah I don't know about the Catholic things, I don't agree with that practice, so wrong person to ask.Nope, I don't mean anyone can communicate with God in ways that we cannot other than old testament prophets while on earth and Jesus himself. I was questioning why catholics believe that praying to Mary or any of the saints was beneficial.
As to your question about levels of heaven, I encourage you to do a study on heavenly crowns. I think there is some bleedover between worldly ideas of "levels" and biblical ideas of rewards that pollute conversations at times.
I am a chosen child of the risen King, I eat at my father's table because of his grace and love. He is eternal and knew me eternally before I was born into this world and all my sins were before him and he chose the cross for my benefit anyway. I know very well I am loved.
On this date in 1832 President Andrew Jackson vetoed the bill that would have rechartered the Bank of the United States. Jackson, like Thomas Jefferson before him, was an adamant opponent of a national bank, believing such a bank would be inherently corrupt and would favor the interests of the rich. In his veto message Jackson wrote:
“It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their selfish purposes. Distinctions in society will always exist under every just government. Equality of talents, of education, or of wealth can not be produced by human institutions. In the full enjoyment of the gifts of Heaven and the fruits of superior industry, economy, and virtue, every man is equally entitled to protection by law; but when the laws undertake to add to these natural and just advantages artificial distinctions, to grant titles, gratuities, and exclusive privileges, to make the rich richer and the potent more powerful, the humble members of society–the farmers, mechanics, and laborers–who have neither the time nor the means of securing like favors to themselves, have a right to complain of the injustice of their Government. There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses. If it would confine itself to equal protection, and, as Heaven does its rains, shower its favors alike on the high and the low, the rich and the poor, it would be an unqualified blessing. In the act before me there seems to be a wide and unnecessary departure from these just principles…”
The image is a political cartoon purporting to show Jackson “slaying the many-headed monster” (the bank interests). The cane in his hand is labeled “Veto.”
Andrew Jackson delivered his veto message against rechartering the Second Bank of the United States one hundred ninety years ago today. Not until 1913 with the creation of the Federal Reserve would a new type of national bank come into existence.
1 John 4:3
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
