Stayed Too Long

I agree that people can be born into a cast system and live that way their entire life. Due to time and place they may, or not, be able to change their lot in life. The system might allow mobility or not, but that all ends at death. If one is a king or pauper it doesn’t matter after drawing their last breath. But, when it comes to eternal life, much happens at death. You go to heaven or hell. Let’s assume for argument that to be saved, Alluh must be your god. If you do not acknowledge Alluh, at death you will go to hell. That is all well and good if you have the opportunity to hear of him and choose to adher to his laws. But what about the people who have never even heard of Alluh, or choose not to believe in him? Perhaps they believe the name of Jesus will get them saved, that he died on the cross, and was risen from the dead on the 3rd day, but have never heard of Alluh. Should hell be their final place of residence? Should the Christian warrior who died for his faith be denied 72 virgins? How could that be fair? Because the Christian woman does not keep her entire body and face covered for life, and walks around without the escort of a related man, should she be cast into hell? Because Christians do not allow their 10 year old daughter to be married to a 60 year old man, should they be driven into hell? As you can see whatever your cast in life, it ends at death. But believing in, and following the will of Alluh, brings great opportunity or consequences at death. You can have 72 women hanging off your arms or burn in hell. You can have hundreds of young girls for eternity or rot in hell. You better make the correct choice and pray to Alluh 5 times a day or suffer hell. Just saying.

Let me ask you this. Let’s assume you are a father, or mother, you have children, and have instructed them they must clean their room everyday. You further demand that if they fail to do so they will be punished by having to sleep in the cold basement with no blankets forever. And this punishment will be passed down to their linage, also for eternity. Does this seem fair to all their children? But because you are loving, you throw in a caveat, that if they write you a letter asking you to forgive them every time they fail to clean their room, they will be absolved of their transgression, and can get back into the comfort of their bedroom. This goes on for the rest of their lives of your entire linage. Does thhis make sense?

I am aware of only one corrupt country on earth that punishes the descendants of a convicted criminal. When a man or woman commits a crime, not only is the criminal punished, but also their children and their children. If you should be thrown in prison for stealing, that was not the end of it. Your sons and daughters, and their daughters and sons would also be incarcerated. In today’s laws one must be convicted of a crime THEY have committed. Their children have no worry of being held responsible for the sins of their fathers. But, a so called loving God tells us we are sinners because OUR parents sinned against Him thousands of years ago! Someone I never met did a boo boo way back when, and you and I are being held responsible for it. And if we don’t acknowledge ourselves as a complete sinner to this loving God, he will drop us like a hot potato, and send us to hell to be tormented for ever. Yikes! There is no greater dictator on the planet than this so called “loving God.”

He is the patron saint of the possessed one. October 6: Saint Bruno, Priest—Optional Memorial 1030–1101 Patron Saint of possessed people Equivalent canonization by Pope Leo X in 1514 Liturgical Color: White

There is another thread discussing the veneration of Mary and how Charlie Kirk believed venerating her would help women. I did some research and discovered there is a Roman Catholic saint for every ailment and challenge a person could possibly experience in their life. If you are having issues with your bees, pray to St Ambrose. Pray to St Angela Merici if you are handicapped. Pray to St Bruno if you are possessed. Here is a list of saints to pray to when you need their assistance. https://mycatholic.life/saints

Have no desire to know anything about LCM’s research.

I did checkout the bookstore and found none of LCM’s research. After 25 years his memory seems to have been erased.

After thirty years of absence the ROA is once again apart of The Way International’s calendar. LCM cancelled the Rock because the Word of God had successfully gone over the World. God had told Craig to begin living in the Land of the Prevailing Word. It seems all of TWI’s witnessing efforts had finally brought about VPW’s vision of every person in the world, who wanted to know the Rightly Divided Word, having had that opportunity. But, apparently Vern and Company have now received revalation cancelling LCM’s Prevailing Word, and have returned to VPW’s original plan of The Word Over The Inhabited Earth? Are any of LCM’s books still sold at the bookstore? Are any of his teachings currently being held forth by TWI?

Please explain?

I always liked bring at the ROA and especially enjoyed the music. Everyone was happy and got along well with one another, and there was always plenty of food and ice cream. As far as I am concerned the beliefs of TWI are as valid as any other group. VPW, LCM, and others did abuse their positions and took advantage of members, but if these problems have been corrected, I see nothing wrong with folks attending the ROA or any other TWI function.

Your point well taken of me interchanging denominations and religions. Thank you. The article states there are approximately 45,000 different denominations and I posted there are over 45,000. Let’s give or take a few thousand then. And you are correct many denominations have the sames rules for salvation. Let’s assume there are only a total of 9 major/minir denominations to chose from. How are you going to choice the one you want yo follow? What was your process of eliminating the other eight? Then throw in Bahai, Islam, Hindu, Judaism - what is your thought process for not accepting/rejecting them as the way to salvation? RC - Confessnmortal sins to a priest.

How does one know, if something good happens in their life, that it was the result of another offering prayers for them? How do you know when you offer prayers for a neighbor that the prayer was actually answered? I used to offer perfect prayer, (SIT) for my family and those in my fellowship everyday, our countries leadership, and TWI leadership. They all got sick like anyone else in the world, two died in a car accident, and VPW somehow managed to get possessed my a devil spirit and died of cancer. My prayer didn’t seem to make much difference at all.

There are over 45,000 different Christian religions in the world, so if you accept that Christianity is the correct religion, how do you know you have picked the right version? How have you eliminated the other 44,999 as not being God’s accurate version of hell? https://www.christianwebsite.com/how-many-denominations-of-christianity-2024/

Definitely a dog person…my pooch has never let me down and can always be counted on for her loyalty.

I was thinking about what it takes to live a Godly life and realized one of God’s demands is for him to be worshipped by his subjects. People also love to be worshipped by the fact of owning pets. Not only are they good company, but my dog loves to please me, which also makes me feel good. If I say “down,” she jumps off the chair. When I say “out,” she heads for the outside door. And just like when God punishes me for not obeying him, when the dog does not jump down, I punish her for disobeying me. Apparently I really am a Godly person.
