We are about to take you through some of histories most amazing mysteries and unlock a lot of secrets that sit right in front of so many yet so few have seen the markings that are right in front of them.  To begin with we are presenting the foundation of where it all begins.  You do not have to believe in the Bible or the Koran or any other religious text to understand why this foundation is needed as we progress through one of the most amazing stories in history, but you need to have this foundation as we take you through the rest of the story.

  Where this story ends, well, it won't.  It's going to take you all the way up through our modern day and has the ability to change everyone's views on almost  everything.  We are not looking to change anyone's views on religion or thoughts about religion being nothing more than nonsense.  That is up to you to determine and keep as your own ideal.  This journey will not cause you to rethink religion in any respect, but it does have the ability to change every other aspect of your life.  We are not going to ask you to just accept our word on any area of what we take you through.  We have been on these mysteries of history now for several years and have been collecting evidence for this work the entire time.  We are simply going to present you with the evidence that we have found and allow you to make your own decisions on these matters.



   




If you have watched these videos, then you now have a really good foundation.  If you have not, then you are going to miss out on understanding how everything is going to tie together as we move forward with the mysteries of history.  If you think you know where we are going to go, you may only be partially correct at best.  We plan on revealing a lot of hidden and buried history that has very profound effects on everyone to this very day.  Our next stop is a major leap in time and we are going to look at the Knights Templar's.  Again, if you think you know where we are going, you may want to hold on to your ideas as there are going to be some very interesting twists and turns you may have never seen before as we unlock a lot of information.

  We do not need to argue whether or not King Solomon existed or if his temple existed.  That you can maintain whatever ideal or ideology you already have on that subject.  It's not going to make a difference as we progress.  So bookmark this site if you have not already and stay tuned as we go through stunning and very revealing information most have never seen before.

The Truth of the Matter (Part 1)

English: United States Navy Chaplain insignia ...
 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Before entering upon an inquiry into religious unbelief, we need to form a correct estimate of its prevalence. If, as many would have us think, there is nothing unusual in the present situation—if the age of faith is returning,1 it is hardly worth while to enter upon this inquiry at all. If, on the other hand, the forces hostile to the Christian faith differ essentially from those that stirred up waves of scepticism in the past—if there is overwhelming evidence that belief among educated men is fast decaying, it is surely high time to investigate the grounds of unbelief, and to welcome the fullest discussion concerning the best means of dealing with an entirely new and extremely grave situation. It is only the shortest-sighted policy that would shelve a disagreeable question until mischief had occurred. It is better to face the facts. From every point of view, concealment regarding a question of such vital importance as the truth of Christianity is to be deplored; while an attitude of indifference on a subject that should be of surpassing interest to us all can only be characterised as amazing—unless, indeed, the real explanation be that men have ceased to believe.[2]
We must, then, determine, in the first place, whether we are witnessing simply a wave of scepticism that will shortly subside again, or whether the present situation in the religious world is altogether unprecedented. The truth of the matter will best be learnt from the lips of those to whom pessimistic admissions must be peculiarly distressing, and who would therefore be the last either to raise a false alarm or to be guilty of an exaggeration. The Bishop of London has warned us2 that “the truth of the matter really is that all over Europe a great conflict is being fought between the old faith in a supernatural revelation and a growing disbelief in it.” The Bishop of Salisbury lately3 said: “There has been revealed to us the terrible and painful fact that a great many are giving up public worship, and that a large proportion of the people of England pay little attention to religion at all.” Not long ago Lord Hugh Cecil expressed4 the same opinion in the following words: “On all sides there are signs of the decay of the Faith. People do not go to church, or, if they go, it is for the sake of the music, or for some non-religious motive. The evidence is overwhelming that the doctrines of Christianity have passed into the region of doubt.” From Dr. Horton we learn that “vast numbers of people in England to-day have forsaken the best and highest ideal of life known to them before they have found a better and higher.... While Professor Haeckel and Professor Ray Lankester [3]do in their way offer an alternative, and present to us the solution of the great enigma according to their light, the bulk of people in our day surrender the old and tried ideal, fling it aside, assume that it is discredited, live without it, and make no serious attempt to find a better ideal.”5
Are there not indications, moreover, everywhere in the literature of the day? The works of some of our greatest scholars are either covertly or openly agnostic. The more thoughtful of our magazines, such as the Nineteenth CenturyFortnightly ReviewHibbert JournalIndependent Review, etc., are continually publishing articles which teem with heterodoxy. The “Do We Believe?” correspondence in the Daily Telegraph (not to mention the more recent controversies in the StandardDaily Mail, and Daily News) was without precedent, and highly significant of the present state of religious unrest. In a lecture reported in the Tablet, Father Gerard voiced the growing feeling of apprehension when he referred to the “Do We Believe?” controversy and the “amazing success” of the Rationalist Press Association as indicating a situation of “the utmost gravity, as gravely disquieting as any with which in her long career the Church has ever been confronted.” Also it may be noticed that organised efforts have commenced all over England to answer inquiries concerning the truth of Christianity by means of apologetic literature and lectures. What do these inquiries portend? The reply is given in the warning of the Rev. Mark Pattison in his essay on “Tendencies of Religious Thought in England.” “When an age,” he says, “is [4]found occupied in proving its creed, this is but a token that the age has ceased to have a proper belief in it.”
Whichever way we turn the same spectacle confronts us. In France especially, and also in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Italy, Spain, the United States, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Brazil, and Argentina (where the men are practically all agnostics), free thought is making rapid progress. Only in Russia, where ninety per cent. of the population are uneducated, is the growth small and confined to the “intellectuals.” Never in the world’s history has there been so much disbelief in the “supernatural”; and, with the advance of science and education, this disbelief appears likely to be one day almost universal. Militant Rationalism is jubilant; while the pastor of the Theistic Church6 proclaims: “I see a battle coming. I do not, like Froude, predict that it will be fought once more, as of old, in blood and tears; but I am as certain as I am of to-morrow’s dawn that a mighty conflict is at hand which will revolutionise the religious thought and feeling of Christendom.”
It is sheer folly for the Church to comfort herself with the reflection that this is not the first time in the history of Christianity that disbelief has manifested itself. In the early days of the Church the heretic was not in possession of the knowledge that we have since acquired. He could not support his views, as he can now, with the facts of science. At every step he could be met by arguments which he had no adequate means of refuting, and if he dared to deny the “supernatural” there was an enormous preponderance of public opinion against him. Indeed, he [5]himself generally believed in the “supernatural,” though he was sceptical of the particular evidence of it on which Christianity had been founded. Retarded by Christianity itself—or, shall we say, by its interpreters?—knowledge was unable to advance; it receded, and the clock was put back in scientific research. Darkness reigned supreme for over a thousand years. At last the dawn began to break. What was the result? The children of light suffered for their temerity; but their ideas were eventually absorbed, and beliefs were suitably reformed. Thus the Copernican system was gradually accepted, and so were the discoveries which followed, up to fifty years ago. Then, however, the established beliefs received shock after shock in rapid succession—shocks from which they do not yet show any promise of recovering. The myriads of worlds in the processes of birth and death; the vast antiquity of the earth; the long history of man and his animal origin; the reign of natural law, and the consequent discredit of the supernatural; the suspicions aroused by the study of comparative mythology; the difficulties of “literal inspiration”; the doubt thrown by the Higher Criticism on many cherished beliefs—these and the like have shaken the very foundations of our faith, and are the cause of agnosticism among the vast majority of our leaders of thought and science.
Ecclesiastics, however, with certain notable exceptions, appear to be labouring under the delusion that a reconciliation has taken place of late between Religion and Science, and that the voice of the Higher Criticism has been hushed—at least, they are continually assuring us to this effect. They remain [6]under this delusion for two reasons. First, because they are more or less ignorant of science and of the preponderating opinion of the scientific world concerning the truth of Christianity. Secondly, because they are lulled into a feeling of security through misconceptions regarding the attitude of the laity. There appears to be the same, or nearly the same, average of religious conformity as heretofore, and the consensus of opinion seems to be all on the side of church and chapel. Any falling off in religious fervour is attributed to sheer carelessness rather than to unbelief. From the days of Huxley until quite lately there have been no attacks upon Christianity worth mentioning. The Churches fail to realise that this religious conformity and goodwill towards the Christian faith has generally no connection whatever with a conviction of the truth of Christianity, and that, where there is this conviction, it is usually among those who are ignorant of the chief causes for suspicion. I propose, therefore, in the first instance, to examine some of the more usual types among the laity. Obviously, in doing so I shall be omitting a great many shades of thought. I shall say very little about the opinions of the genuine believer or of the hopelessly thoughtless, and nothing of the opinions of evil-livers. My object is to set forth the types which are most likely to have been misunderstood by the clergy.

CASES of Conscience Concerning Evil Spirits Personating MEN

So Odious and Abominable is the Name of a Witch, to the Civilized, much more the Religious part of Mankind, that it is apt to grow up into a Scandal for any, so much as to enter some sober cautions against the over hasty suspecting, or too precipitant Judging of Persons on this account. But certainly, the more execrable the Crime is, the more critical care is to be used in the exposing of the Names, Liberties, and Lives of Men (especially of a Godly Conversation) to the imputation of it. The awful hand of God now upon us, in letting loose of evil Angels among us to perpetrate such horrid Mischiefs, and suffering of Hell's Instruments to do such fearful things as have been scarce heard of; hath put serious persons into deep Musings, and upon curious Enquiries what is to be done for the detecting and defeating of this tremendous design of the grand Adversary: And, tho' all that fear God are agreed,That no evil is to be done, that good may come of it; yet hath the Devil obtained not a little of his design, in the divisions of Reuben, about the application of this Rule.
That there are Devils and Witches, the Scripture asserts,[Pg 222] and experience confirms, That they are common enemies of Mankind, and set upon mischief, is not to be doubted: That the Devil can (by Divine Permission) and often doth vex men in Body and Estate, without the Instrumentality of Witches, is undeniable: That he often hath, and delights to have the concurrence of Witches, and their consent in harming men, is consonant to his native Malice to Man, and too lamentably exemplified: That Witches, when detected and convinced, ought to be exterminated and cut off, we have God's warrant forExod. 22.18. Only the same God who hath said, thou shalt not suffer a Witch to live; hath also said, at the Mouth of two Witnesses, or three Witnesses shall he that is worthy of Death, be put to Death: But at the Mouth of one Witness, he shall not be put to Death, Deut. 17.6. Much debate is made about what is sufficient Conviction, and some have (in their Zeal) supposed that a less clear evidence ought to pass in this than in other Cases, supposing that else it will be hard (if possible) to bring such to condign Punishment, by reason of the close conveyances that there are between the Devil and Witches; but this is a very dangerous and unjustifiable tenet. Men serve God in doing their Duty, he never intended that all persons guilty of Capital Crimes should be discovered and punished by men in this Life, though they be never so curious in searching after Iniquity. It is therefore exceeding necessary that in such a day as this, men be informed what is Evidence and what is not. It concerns men in point of Charity; for tho' the most shining Professor may be secretly a most abominable Sinner, yet till he be detected, our Charity is bound to Judge[Pg 223] according to what appears: and notwithstanding that a clear evidence must determine a case; yet presumptions must be weighed against presumptions, and Charity is not to be forgone as long as it has the most preponderating on its side. And it is of no less necessity in point of Justice; there are not only Testimonies required by God, which are to be credited according to the Rules given in his Word referring to witnesses: But there is also an Evidence supposed to be in the Testimony, which is throughly to be weighed, and if it do not infallibly prove the Crime against the person accused, it ought not to determine him guilty of it; for so a righteous Man may be Condemned unjustly. In the case of Witchcrafts we know that the Devil is the immediate Agent in the Mischief done, the consent or compact of the Witch is the thing to be Demonstrated.
Among many Arguments to evince this, that which is most under present debate, is that which refers to something vulgarly calledSpectre Evidence, and a certain sort of Ordeal or trial by the sight and touch. The principal Plea to justifie the convictive Evidence in these, is fetcht from the Consideration of the Wisdom and Righteousness of God in Governing the World, which they suppose would fail, if such things were permitted to befal an innocent person; but it is certain, that too resolute conclusions drawn from hence, are bold usurpations upon spotless Sovereignty: and tho' some things if suffered to be common, would subvert this Government, and disband, yea ruine Humane Society; yet God doth sometimes suffer such things to evene, that we may thereby know how much we are beholden to him, for that restraint which he lays upon[Pg 224] the Infernal Spirits, who would else reduce a World into a Chaos. That the Resolutions of such Cases as these is proper for the Servants of Christ in the Ministry cannot be denied; the seasonableness of doing it now, will be justified by the Consideration of the necessity there is at this time of a right Information of men's Judgments about these things, and the danger of their being misinformed.
The Reverend, Learned, and Judicious Author of the ensuing Cases, is too well known to need our Commendation: All that we are concerned in, is to assert our hearty Consent to, and Concurrence with the substance of what is contained in the following Discourse:And, with our hearty Request to God, that he would discover the depths of this Hellish Design; direct in the whole management of this Affair; prevent the taking any wrong steps in this dark way; and that he would in particular Bless these faithful Endeavours of his Servant to that end, we Commend it and you to his Divine Benediction.

Author: Science and faith aren't mutually exclusive

Science & Faith (song)
Science & Faith (song) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)



New book 'The Adam Quest' features scientists - who are also Christians - talking about evolution, creation and more.

Our Notes:
It should not matter what one's faith is in regards to the study of science as long as that faith is not trying to direct the science.  Although there are valid arguments for that as well.  Why lock out brilliant minds from discovering unless you fear what they may discover.

Band Aid - Let Them Know It's Christmas Time, Video

Español: Logo Vectorial de YouTube
 YouTube (Photo credit: Wikipedia)



From 1984.  Serious flash back.  It's a great song so we went out and looked up the video.  Found it on numerous sites but pulled it in from YouTube.  Other sites had long ads attached to the video and it was the same video, so YouTube won the porting game.  The song was created back in 1984 to raise money to feed the hungry.  One has to wonder if sales of the song still continue and if so, where that money is going.  Are sales still supporting that cause or is the song now being milked for profits only?  We went out to find more information on this.  It turns out that the folks behind the song caved to pressure from various avenues insinuating that the lyrics of the song were highly misleading and that a remake of the song in 2004 was probably the last version.

  Many in the pop music culture thought the song was pretty bad considering the talent that went into the entire production.  We don't care, we like the song and here it is.  The lyrics do have issues, but we are not discounting what they tried to do for those in need.

Are Gloucester, VA Officials Advocates Of The Devil? The Sunday Questions

Special Sunday Story;   We are asking if Gloucester, Virginia officials are Devil's advocates.  What we know is that many officials attend local church services each and every weekend.  What we see however does not fall under what one would deem sound Christian principles coming out of their works.  Instead, we have been able to trace the works to a more sinister teaching.  Thelema.

  For those who have no idea what Thelema is, it is Satanic worship.  It is only one sect of Satanic worship and there are many sects.  Are we stretching here?  Well, take a look at the evidence we put forth and you determine your final answers.

Before we go any further, we want to make it very clear that it is not our intention to promote, convince, or persuade you into any area of religious thought or belief.  We will be presenting documents of both Satanic beliefs as well as Christian beliefs.  The documents are for background evidence to show at no time are we making any of this up.

The present issue;  Gloucester officials are building a new middle school in the middle of a swamp where they have built an island in the swamp and have no sound foundation to support the new middle school which will cause serious issues for the entire structure in it's future.

What does that have to do with being an advocate for the devil?  Glad you asked.  According to Satanic principles, one is to build their house on an island and out of glass.  It is well noted that the house is vulnerable and not meant to hold up.  What does the bible say about building one's house?  Build a solid foundation so that the house continues to stand for generations to come.

Two very contradictory principles.

 
The Book of The Law from Chuck Thompson


1. Abrahadabra; the reward of Ra Hoor Khut.
2. There is division hither homeward; there is a word not known. Spelling is defunct; all is not aught. Beware! Hold! Raise the spell of Ra-Hoor-Khuit!
3. Now let it be first understood that I am a god of War and of Vengeance. I shall deal hardly with them.
4. Choose ye an island!
5. Fortify it!
6. Dung it about with enginery of war!
7. I will give you a war-engine.
8. With it ye shall smite the peoples; and none shall stand before you.
9. Lurk! Withdraw! Upon them! this is the Law of the Battle of Conquest: thus shall my worship be about my secret house.
10. Get the stele of revealing itself; set it in thy secret temple -- and that temple is already aright disposed -- & it shall be your Kiblah for ever. It shall not fade, but miraculous colour shall come back to it day after day. Close it in locked glass for a proof to the world.
11. This shall be your only proof. I forbid argument. Conquer! That is enough. I will make easy to you the abstruction from the ill-ordered house in the Victorious City. Thou shalt thyself convey it with worship, o prophet, though thou likest it not. Thou shalt have danger & trouble. Ra-Hoor-Khu is with thee. Worship me with fire & blood; worship me with swords & with spears. Let the woman be girt with a sword before me: let blood flow to my name. Trample down the Heathen; be upon them, o warrior, I will give you of their flesh to eat!

The above is straight out of the above book and starts off chapter 3.  Now what we are also going to point out from the above, "Dung it about with enginery of war!", could it not be conceived that the improper use of education may just fall into that category?


New Testament" target="_blank">The New Testament from Chuck Thompson


The Christian bible states that one should build a solid foundation before even considering building one's house.  Makes perfect sense.  If you do not have a solid foundation, the house will eventually fall.


The above picture is where Gloucester officials are building the new middle school.  They have brought in huge piles of dirt to fill the swamp.  No piles have been put in to create a sound foundation.  This is their island.  The two story school will be built with a lot of glass for more natural light.  Cuts down costs for artificial lighting.  Raises costs for heating and cooling.  Changes in the educational system have already been announced for the future.  Those changes are considered reactionary education to help foster more real life events and increase skills for dealing with issues in real time.  Sounds impressive, but what does that mean and how will it be used?  

  Well that part we are not being told.  Is the enginery being built for the island?

We are not asking you to believe in either school of religious thought.  Only to consider the principles of each doctrine to determine which are more sound and for a better understanding of what is going on in this county as well as the world around you.  Only you can make that determination.

In the event you are having difficulties reading any of the above documents, in the bottom right hand corner of each document container, there is an icon that you can click that will open the container and document into a full screen view to make reading much easier.  Downloads of both documents are available and free from our SlideShare site.  You will have to log in with either a Facebook account or LinkedIn account to get access to the download or you can create a free account.

Luther - The Movie - Plus Free Bible



Luther, the story of Martin Luther.  If you have not seen this movie, we highly recommend it.  You do not have to agree with it's religious tenets, but it does bring up a number of fascinating historical information.  It's not our objective to argue over which version of Christianity is correct.  It is not our intention to force Christianity down anyone's throats.  It is our intention to believe in free speech as well as the freedom of religion.  If you want freedom from religion, you are in the wrong place for now.  Look beyond this post.  To make matters even more confusing, we are giving away another free Bible today.  This is a different version than we have posted in the past.  We have three versions we give away everyday on our e-books page, so if you want anther version, by all means help yourself.  No cost.  No sign ups, simply free for the taking.



This is the Douay-Rheims version of the Bible and is usually considered more of a Catholic version.  Again, we are not arguing one over another, simply sharing what we have so we expect no arguments over any of this and thank everyone so far that have supported these efforts and have not raised one complaint.

CLICK HERE  for a free download copy of the above Bible.  It's under 7 megs in size so the download will be pretty fast.  Just pick the free user option for the download.
