“Extensive reply” is a relative term it seems. Is a brief answer from you even possible?
You started this topic with a lengthy post critical of Paul–the man, his motives, his writings and his negative, heretical impact (my terms) upon Christianity. In that initial post and successive posts, both as @antimason and as @celestialpassenger, you cite passages from the Holy Bible alongside those of the Holy Quran (and others) to make your various points.
Later, in response to my post (#91), in “The Fifth Covenant of Jesus” (Post #95), you cited Holy Bible passages from Genesis, Matthew, Luke and Acts.
My question: Which books of the Holy Bible, if any, do you believe are the inspired word of God? That’s it; I politely ask for an answer to this one question only.
That’s the question for the writers behind it. Prophets didn’t write Holy texts, scribes did. I would say that there’s some truth in all of them, but when the truth got too heavy for the people, they were changed, so it’s like the copy of the copy on the printer. The longer the time passes, the less clear it is.
This is from my fallible knowledge. If you want to send the question to the Mahdi, I can if you would like to hear his answer.
@celestialpassenger Thank you for the brief answer, I appreciate your candor.
I was hoping to find some common ground to continue dialogue but see now that it is moot. No matter what points I make, it seems they will all be redirected to an Islamic text or precept. No, no, and no thank you, I have no interest in making even one inquiry of the Mahdi.
You seem intent upon preaching “Iman Mahdi Pbuh” ad nauseam all the while talking out both sides of your mouth—voluminously citing Holy Bible passages to make your points while out the other side, stating now that the “Holy texts” have been intentionally changed and are unclear, implying to me at least, that they cannot be trusted as being from God, even for “The Fifth Covenant of Jesus” (Post #96). By your own words, Holy Bible citations are simply a means to an end and not sacred scripture.
One positive consequence for me is that your arguments and methods solidify my belief that deception in the end times will take on many forms. For that, I am grateful to have read this thread.
You are rude and inconsiderate—not to me, but to Dr. Farrell. Despite being banned from this forum, you have returned, preaching with zeal, continuing in this thread and now in another. How ironic that you have something in common with Saul/Paul. Perhaps you should edit the thread title to, “A Hell Called Antimason: The Hijacker of Giza Death Star.”
I thought we were engaging in a meaningful conversation. And no, I’m not preaching, I’m just stating my beliefs in a topic that I created. And I wouldn’t even come back if there wasn’t interest in the topic.
If dr. Farrell bans me again, then I won’t bother coming back. He can ban me anytime he wants anyway for that matter.
In a sense, we need someone like you to be engaged in this Forum. One reason is you appear to write your ‘postings’ with some thought behind them, but a person always needs to understand they can be mistaken, and when ‘called-on-it’ need to be tactful in their responses, and polite to their 'betters, and especially when we are ‘guests’ here. Oftentimes it is better to write nothing until you given the matter quite a bit of thought, backed by research.
Yes, that is an entirely possible answer, and appears to be correct since those ‘posts’ were mostly a ‘cut and paste’ job. Not that it is an entirely a ‘bad’ thing to do, but what was missing was there was no analysis of their ‘content’ being either right, wrong, or otherwise ‘off-kilter’. This is something I have written about here in the past, which is that I had 35+ years of experience writing highly detailed reports for those who ‘control’ almost everything on the Earth and who ‘hope’ to control our entire Solar system, and beyond.
The thorn, or ‘cog-in-their-wheel-house’ is that they cannot seem to overcome and destroy one nation that is a constant ‘thorn’ in their behinds.
One also should consider there was the Western Church of Christianity located in the Roman Empire and the Eastern Church of Christianity located in Constantinople.
If my memory serves me well there was a division between those two branches. Each of them had libraries. The Eastern Branch eventually moved to Kiev, located in the Ukraine, and whoever can recall, and state the final ‘splinter’, or Doctrine that drove them apart will be onto Something Big.
I am entirely aware about what I posted and what I posted. If some information are copy-pasted, this is because I don’t have the time to respond to each person asking me a certain question to write in detail, if I can provide the information that I already know directly from the source. Basically I would write the same information, eventualy probably with some points missing, and it would just take me more time to write it all down.
As with all GOOD things which must be destroyed by the evildoers in order to hide their wickedness, so was the Imperial Library of Constantinople ransacked. Much of the original knowledge of the ancients was preserved. Some highly informed folks believe many of those books, documents, tablets, maps, etc. were moved into the basements of that teeny, tiny nation within Italy, which also has a consulate in every nation on the Earth.
Informed sources claim Christopher Coumbus obtained maps of North and South America that also showed a portion of Antarctica prior to his 1492 ‘historic voyage’ into the so-called New World. Others, who have written about the Knight Templars assert they actually ‘discovered’ North America prior to the voyage by Columbus. But try telling that to your typical history professor trained in schools of so-called ‘higher learning’.
There are some remaining websites that have additional information, but I do not seem to be able to locate those ‘bookmarks’ tonight from my old, off-line computer. I need to get those transferred over to this computer for easy reference.
Also look at Wiki - (Constantinople - Wikipedia).
Constantinople was once the capital city of the Byzantine Empire with one of the last of the great libraries of the ancient world before it was pillaged.
Little wonder the libraries with knowledge of the ancients had to be destroyed, or their contents moved elsewhere. I suppose it was in order to protect the guilty parties.
Edit - thought of something more. Research your friends, allies, as well as your enemies, and every other party…
While the Ruskies are a formidable enemy they can provide us with clues.
Nidster, thank you so very much for inspiring me to think about The Library of Alexandria. There are so many topics, through Dr. Farrell’s books, and through posts like yours on this forum, that inspire me to want to learn more and more and more, and to read about these topics. You are inspiring me to learn more about this library system and how knowledge has been preserved and protected and hidden – it is mind boggling to think about this, and what happened to the knowledge. Our next visit to the used bookstore will include a peek for a book on that topic, thanks to you! Recently, we heard James Corbett talk about the Library of Alexandria, and the big danger now unfolding with libraries being sterlized, and so John and I both love wallowing in the used book store.
