You may or may not be patient, but no, not very knowledgeable, or you would not even have thought 'hate' was given. The lessons you need (as likewise most visitors and members here) , but have never learned, are all in worthychristianlibrary.com ...... It is at least several months to a years reading, and longer to learn, while also reading the Scripture the lessons come from. (even though they are tested and proven, just like Apostle Paul said do not accept anything even if an 'angel' appears or an apostle tells you, UNLESS it agrees with the Scripture/Gospel/GOOD NEWS already delivered..... )

Why are we accountable if we did not ask to be exist?
simplejeff replied to peeday's topic in General Discussion
No worries here. Keep reading. It's there. (in the Bible) Like the truth about Passover Feast is not revealed to catholics. Why Jesus PRAISED the Father that HE hid Salvation from the educated ones ..... Why Yahweh doesn't even hear, let alone answer, the prayers of some.... Yep, it's all in Scripture, EVEN in English....... Of course, much has been hidden, because it is the Father's Good Pleasure so to do .... as Jesus Says Himself ..... -

Looks like many forgot how many bribes are routinely accepted...... -
The meaning is lost in english life and english language. (except Yahweh reveal, which is necessary anyway, also). ALL Scripture is Inpired (Breathed) by Yahweh, and Guarded by Him. Again the meaning(s) are lost in english, that become very clear upon Yahweh's opening the mind and also in the original language(s) when found / understood.

In assemblies of faithful believers with different guidelines (Scriptural) , no one would be permitted to promote any ungodliness - they are silenced, and not permitted to practice sin or to discuss idolatry or abominations to promote them. On the internet, this isn't (seemingly) possible...... (to silence the ungodly) ...

Yes. Every time you posted, in any post or thread, unless in anything, in even one thing, you posted the truth instead. (the truth contrary to Roman Catholic cult teachings). According to Roman Catholic cult teachings, everyone who is rcc MUST believe the rcc cult teachings , or they are not faithful rcc members. It is a choice everyone has to make - become a CHRISTIAN whether inside OR outside the rcc, and be set apart by Yahweh for Himself, or stay in the rcc and risk Yahweh's Judgment (on Judgment Day) .....

It is written that multitudes fail to achieve salvation, yet believe they are saved, and don't find out until Judgment Day ! (perhaps mostly because as written, they love the words/ approval / of man/men, instead of loving God and God's Word)
-
"FIND" ? Want to find something useful, and life-saving ? If anyone , if you, seek the TRUTH, and keep seeking the TRUTH (which you have never posted faithfully yet , apparently) , THEN you will find the TRUTH, and the TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE - as God's Word Says without prejudice, without change ....... Seek the LIGHT (JESUS) while it may be found, as Yahweh's Word Says, straight and true from Yahweh.... not man's word, but Yahweh's.

That's RIGHT ! A blatant and perverse abomination each and every time there is a catholic mass anywhere ....
-
Like he said - sinning, gay based , even though other sins might not be gay based.... ? Sexual perversion as a sin itself does not rely on other sins to be a sin - it is a sin all by itself, regardless of all or any other sins.

Study Bible Hanani's Message to Asa …8"Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubim an immense army with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet because you relied on the LORD, He delivered them into your hand. 9"For the eyes of the LORD move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His. You have acted foolishly in this. Indeed, from now on you will surely have wars." 10Then Asa was angry with the seer and put him in prison, for he was enraged at him for this. And Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time.… New American Standard Bible Matthew Henry Commentary 16:1-14 Asa seeks the aid of the Syrians, His death. - A plain and faithful reproof was given to Asa by a prophet of the Lord, for making a league with Syria. God is displeased when he is distrusted, and when an arm of flesh is relied on, more than his power and goodness. It is foolish to lean on a broken reed, when we have the Rock of ages to rely upon. To convince Asa of his folly, the prophet shows that he, of all men, had no reason to distrust God, who had found him such a powerful Helper. The many experiences we have had of the goodness of God to us, aggravate our distrust of him. But see how deceitful our hearts are! we trust in God when we have nothing else to trust to, when need drives us to him; but when we have other things to stay on, we are apt to depend too much on them. Observe Asa's displeasure at this reproof. What is man, when God leaves him to himself! He that abused his power for persecuting God's prophet, was left to himself, to abuse it further for crushing his own subjects. Two years before he died, Asa was diseased in his feet. Making use of physicians was his duty; but trusting to them, and expecting that from them which was to be had from God only, were his sin and folly. In all conflicts and sufferings we need especially to look to our own hearts, that they may be perfect towards God, by faith, patience, and obedience.

Adam and Eve as Genealogical vs Genetic Ancestors

..... oh, and Yahweh says anyone who puts their trust in men (flesh/ mankind/ anything besides Him) , He curses. His Word - Perfect and Complete, Lacking Nothing. -
Adam and Eve as Genealogical vs Genetic Ancestors
simplejeff replied to one.opinion's topic in Science and Faith
Yeshua is Master , Savior, Messiah, King of the Jews, Healer, and all things were created through Him, and nothing was made without Him, and He Says 'science' (of mankind/ society) is bogus; lower value than women's rags.... because it rejects Him.... it is destroyer of souls, betrayer of men, and attempts to keep little ones from finding Yahweh's Kingdom ..... and repeating what He Says in Galatians - it is evil, pernicious, death dealing, trying to drag down as many as it can. -
not that important !? "Whoever rejects Scripture rejects Jesus. " Before Jesus came, the pagan gentile nations were lost, in darkness, and without hope in the world.

How many times has Yahweh told everyone that all disobedience is sin ? (and the penalty for sin is death) So for future sins, who gets crucified again and again according to SCRIPTURE ?

The countries of the world, including USA, have been committing *********** with the 'beast' for generations ...... the real power of babylon is over both rome and the usa, and rome has had much more devastating power and consequences for many centuries all around the world ..... The USA may well be a 'bigger' player in these end days than it was before, but still just a pawn/player of the beast/ babylon.....

Why are we accountable if we did not ask to be exist?
simplejeff replied to peeday's topic in General Discussion
See in Scripture, Genesis through Revelation, who Yahweh answers, and who He does not answer ... who Yahweh hides Salvation from, and who Yahweh reveals everything concerning Salvation to .... Those to whom Yahweh reveals Scripture, know the answer(s) , those Yahweh hides revelation from, don't know the answer(s). -
Adam and Eve as Genealogical vs Genetic Ancestors
simplejeff replied to one.opinion's topic in Science and Faith
It doesn't matter at all to me nor to anyone who honors Yahweh and His Word what your response was or is. Yahweh's Word is TRUTH, and cannot be changed, and has not ever changed since He Breathed It Through men who He Choose. -
There are perhaps over 100 instructions Yahweh gives to His people that are not "a personal thing", vs a few that are or could be "a personal thing"; ie. there are many directions, as Jesus taught and led all the Apostles and disciples, that are for everyone who abides in Christ Jesus. This is in perfect harmony with all of His Word, and does not at all take away from those things that are, as His Word Says, for each person to have faith in themselves. Only realize there is and will be no contradiction with any part of His Word and His Plan of Salvation in Jesus, so if anyone blatantly disobeys (like Ananias and Saphira; or like the adulterous members in the assembly at Corinth; or like the Judaizers/false gospel teachers/ Yahweh warns about in Galatians) they are to be at least warned, if not 'dead' by Yahweh's Hand(NOT by man's hand), or separated from the flock UNTIL they repent (if they refuse to repent at first; the point being everyone's purity and repentance in the assembly).

footnote: possible resource: (don't know if it is still available or not) >>> " D. Those who would like to know all about the abominations of auricular confession should have my volume “The Priest, The Woman and The Confessional.” It is probably the only book ever written on that subject which completely unveils the mask of Rome, by telling the whole truth."

What all followers of Jesus , especially rcc catholics once they are set free by Jesus, must do, always: " No words can express the joy of my heart, when I saw with what rapidity, my (then) so dear Church of Rome was taking possession of those magnificent lands, and how soon she would be unrivaled mistress, not only of the State of Illinois, but of the whole valley of the Mississippi. But the ways of men are not the ways of God. I had been called, by the Bishops of Rome, to Illinois, to extend the power of that church. But my God had called me there, that I might give, to that church, the most deadly blow she has ever received on this Continent. My task is now to tell my readers, how the God of Truth, and Light and Life, broke, one after another, all the charmed bonds by which I was kept a slave at the feet of the Pope; and how He opened my eyes, and those of my people, to the unsuspected and untold abominations of Romanism.

further depravity and extensive sin practiced by so-called priests, doing as they are taught to do by the devil himself: " “Of course,” answered the curate, “your wife is in the flames of purgatory, and suffers there the most unspeakable tortures, which can be relieved only by the offering of the holy sacrifice of mass. Give me five dollars and I will sing that mass to-morrow morning.” “You know very well, Mr. le Cure,” answered the poor man, in a most supplicating tone, “that my wife has been sick, as well as myself, a good part of the year. I am too poor to give you five dollars!” “If you cannot pay, you cannot have any mass sung. You know it is the rule. It is not in my power to change it.” These words were said by the curate with a high and unfeeling tone, which were in absolute contrast with the solemnity and distress of the poor sick man. They made a very painful impression upon me, for I felt for him. I knew the curate was well-off, at the head of one of the richest parishes of Canada; that he had several thousand dollars in the bank. I hoped at first, that he would kindly grant the petition presented to him, without speaking of the pay, but I was disappointed. My first thought, after hearing his hard rebuke, was to put my hand in my pocket and take one of the several five-dollar gold pieces I had, and give it to the poor man, that he might be relieved from his terrible anxiety about his wife. It came also to my mind to say to him: “I will sing your high mass for nothing to-morrow.” But alas! I must confess, to my shame, I was too cowardly to do that noble deed. I had a sincere desire to do it, but was prevented by the fear of insulting that priest, who was older than myself, and for whom I had always entertained great respect. It was evident to me that he would have taken my action as a condemnation of his conduct. When I was feeling ashamed of my own cowardice, and still more indignant against myself than against the curate, he said to the disconcerted poor man: “That woman is your wife; not mine. It is your business, and not mine, to see how to get her out of purgatory.” 492Turning to me, he said, in the most amiable way: “Please, sir, come to tea.” We hardly started, when the poor man, raising his voice, said, in a most touching way: “I cannot leave my poor wife in the flames of purgatory; if you cannot sing a high mass, will you please say five low masses to rescue her soul from those burning flames?” The priest turned towards him and said: “Yes, I can say five masses to take the soul of your wife out of purgatory, but give me five shillings; for you know the price of a low mass is one shilling.” The poor man answered: “I can no more give one dollar than I can five. I have not a cent; and my three poor little children are as naked and starving as myself.” “Well! well!” answered the curate, “when I passed this morning, before your house, I saw two beautiful sucking pigs. Give me one of them, and I will say your five low masses.” The poor man said: “These small pigs were given me by a charitable neighbor, that I might raise them to feed my poor children next winter. They will surely starve to death, if I give my pigs away.” But I could not listen any longer to that strange dialogue; every word of which fell upon my soul as a shower of burning coals. I was beside myself with shame and disgust. I abruptly left the merchant of souls, finishing his bargains, went to my sleeping-room, locked the door, and fell upon my knees to weep to my heart’s content. A quarter of an hour later, the curate knocked at my door and said: “Tea is ready; please come down!” I answered: “I am not well; I want some rest. Please excuse me, if I do not take my tea to-night.” It would require a more eloquent pen than mine to give the correct history of that sleepless night. The hours were dark and long. “My God! my God!” I cried, a thousand times, “Is it possible that, in my so dear Church of Rome, there can be such abominations as I have seen and heard to-day? Dear and adorable 493Saviour, if thou wert still on earth, and should see the soul of a daughter of Israel fallen into a burning furnace, wouldst thou ask a shilling to take it out? Wouldst thou force the poor father, with his starving children, to give their last morsel of bread, to persuade thee to extinguish the burning flames? Thou hast shed the last drop of thy blood to save her. And how cruel, how merciless, we, thy priests, are, for the same precious soul! But are we really thy priests? Is it not blasphemous to call ourselves thy priests, when not only we will not sacrifice anything to save that soul, but will starve the poor husband and his orphans? What right have we to extort such sums of money from thy poor children to help them out of purgatory? Do not thy apostles say that thy blood alone can purify the soul? “Is it possible that there is such a fiery prison for the sinners after death, and that neither thyself nor any of thy apostles has said a word about it? “Several of the Fathers consider purgatory as of Pagan origin. Tertullian spoke of it only after he had joined the sect of the Montanists, and he confesses that it is not through the Holy Scriptures, but through the inspiration of the Paraclete of Montanus that he knows anything about purgatory. Augustine, the most learned and pious of the Holy Fathers, does not find purgatory in the Bible, and positively says that its existence is dubious; that every one may believe what he thinks proper about it. Is it possible that I am so mean as to have refused to extend a helping hand to that poor distressed man, for fear of offending the cruel priest? “We priests believe, and say that we can help souls out of the burning furnace of purgatory, by our prayers and masses; but instead of rushing to their rescue, we turn to the parents, friends, the children of those departed souls, and say: “Give me five dollars; give me a shilling, and I will put an end to those tortures; but if you refuse us that money, we will let your father, husband, wife, child, or friend endure those tortures, hundreds of years more! Would not the people throw us into the river, if they could once understand the extent of our meanness and avarice? Ought we not to be ashamed to ask a shilling to 494take out of the fire a human being who calls us to the rescue? Who, except a priest, can descend so low in the regions of depravity?” "
