I love all your posts. But I'd like to clarify a few things about this one.

The following looks like a fable or myth, but it's true and science proves it (bottom links).

Elohim is in plural because, although there is only one God according to the Bible, there are 3 Divine Persons sharing the Divine Nature: the Trinity, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

I won't bother with all the citations proving this, it's all there in the Bible, you can look it up easily.

Now, the Bible, in Genesis, also explains that God created the angels before humans and even before the Sun (that's why He said let it be light). The most bright was Lucifer, the light bearer, who, although created good, out of pride, he rebelled against God's command to serve humans, and led 1/3 of angels.

Asking for God's help, the revolt was crushed by St. Michael the Archangel and the demons expelled to earth and hell (created just then for the occasion: a place where demons didn't have to see God as they wished).

God created man directly, no angels involved. That's why genetically we know we all descend from only 1 couple: the Y-chromosomal Adam and mitochondrial Eve.

Now, except the Jews, all other nations worshiped demons as gods.

The Annunaki were demons: they harvest souls for eternal hell, by tempting us into sin.

The angels, on the contrary, try to convince us not so sin, and go to eternal heaven with God, our creator.

Atheists and agnostics would start to find answers in peer-reviewed Near Death Experiences. Consciousness, intelligence, will, are all spiritual properties of the spiritual immortal soul. How do we know that? some of the blind from birth see in colors for the first time when they are brain dead (no electricity, no activity, no bloodflow, no oxygen) and also no heartbeat and no breathing. The same happens with some of the deaf: they listen for the first time to conversations around or if they go up, even celestial music!

“there are characteristic features that are commonly observed in NDEs. These characteristics include a perception of seeing and hearing apart from the physical body, passing into or through a tunnel, encountering a mystical light, intense and generally positive emotions, a review of part or all of their prior life experiences, encountering deceased loved ones, and a choice to return to their earthly life.”

"God is love" says the Bible, the Word of God (1 John 4:7-12) Do you believe in love? then you believe in God. How do you prove love to yourself? If you prove love, you prove God! There’s no love without God, the source of all true love. He’s not only the love of my life, He’s the life of my love!

Jesus said “I’m... the life.” (John 14:16)

“God gives life to everything.” (1 Timothy 6, 13)

Do you believe in life? You prove life, you prove God, eternal life, source of all life:

That is where you should start your journey of discovery, but first pray: "God, life of my love, if you exist, please show me the way to find the bliss of knowing You"

or even better:

Think this with your heart: “Jesus, if you are the Son of God, I consecrate my heart to your Heart. Please send me the Holy Spirit so I can see Truth and have the courage to convert and follow Him wherever He leads”

Prof. Fred Nazar! Thank you for your comment and these posts! Don't know if you're familiar or not, but I was raised Pentecostal Christian and still adhere to a number of tenants of the faith. However, I do look into the influence that the Roman Empire had on the church and try to see what parts are authentic and what parts are synthetic. It's been an interesting journey so far and I'm looking to write more about it here! Thanks again for the support and links - always appreciated!

If you want to find the real Church, start reading the writings of the first Christians, before the Roman Empire, like Augustine of Hippo (start with Confessions):

https://www.augustinus.it/links/inglese/opere.htm

Irenaeus of Lyon, etc.:

https://ccel.org/fathers

You'll discover which Church is the most faithful to the Bible and early Christianity before the Roman Empire. Hint: which religion you would belong to, if you were born 600 years ago, continuing uninterruptedly the teachings held by the early Christians?

Hi Franklin, already getting dividends from re-upping with you!

I also have to give you credit for your continuing to search for answers— as opposed to seeking only theories that prop up your own.

After reading comments to the hyperlinked Clif High podcast I just downloaded Paul Wallis’ ‘the Eden Conspiracy.’ It isn’t his first book I don’t think but good for me it was a free kindle unlimited download and it seems to begin at what was for him the beginning.

It opens with the Paul’s trip to Brazil as a young Anglican seminary student and how instead of coming away with evidence to bolster viewpoint he intended to document (the then current evolution of organized Christianity in Brazil), he began to hear stories much older than the Bible of the goddess of the harvest which sounded similar to stories of a benevolent mother of the earth coming from people all over the world, (only the names were changed and where in the stars she came from) stories being stamped out and erased by, in this case, Pope John Paul and the Roman Catholic Church.

And here I always thought of John Paul as a relatively good guy.

I have so many struggles with the stories we are told in the Bible so I am eager to learn more.

Thanks for leading me down this path of exploration Franklin!

Thanks as well for this comment Cynthia! Your comment struck with me as to the story of the benevolent mother of earth. This is what the gnostics claim when they state "sophia created earth." This also leads to the Gnostic version to where the "Demiurge" - Lord of the Annunaki then creates "humans" to worship him. Don't know if you've seen these links, but here's some work I've done on the topic:

https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/why-gnosticism-is-the-christianity#details

Regarding Pope John Paul and others, oh man, I'm coming to find out that the "Empire of the Roman Church," may have been a military front disguised as a religion! That time period from the Dark Ages to the Protestant Reformation is exposing a lot and I'm looking to write more on this.

Thanks as always for the support and comment! Always appreciated!

Thanks Franklin!

I actually lost my childhood I started to say love but more indoctrination for Catholic Church dogma during Vatican II. I couldn’t understand why secular music was brought in and priests in casual garb. And a butcher block table as an altar.

But think about even the RC ‘sacrament’ of confession. How that gave the church info on what was going on with individuals and groups within a given community. Under the guise of only the church can forgive your sins.

It’s nice to have a safe space to give word to thought.

Following up on an old conversation I was thinking how these ancient human beliefs are squashed out and yet dinosaur theory is pushed.

My 14 month old grandson has shoes with a dinosaur emblem, sun hat with dinosaurs, t shirts, sheets etc. it’s not like my daughter searches this stuff out, it is just that dinosaur imagery is so prevalent in the baby shopping area it’s hard to avoid. Why not a cute puppy or kitty?? Why are ‘stegosaurus or t-Rex’ on baby hats? There is no doubt an agenda.

Is this like a repeating math problem? Lol. You respond to my comment with a previous comment :-)

I watched the Mandelbrot video and was blown away. I love math but quit about the time solutions were three dimensional art.

Crazy that secular mathematician Dr Eugene Wigner calls the solution a ‘gift we don’t deserve,’ yet doesn’t the word ‘gift’ imply a giver? 👀

I realized sadly as I looked at the comments that believers believe and nonbelievers still don’t.

We were made by annunaki to mine the gold, but this is coming to an end soon. Watch any of Michael Bay’s transformer movies to see how this plays out. Optimus Prime is here

Thanks for this comment Tim! I've seen the first couple and the most recent one. Is the thought that the Annunaki are the Decepticons?
