Here comes a new parable. *[[Rev 21:2]] KJV* And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. *[[Rev 21:3]] KJV* And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. *[[Rev 21:4]] KJV* And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
*[[Rev 21:25]] KJV* And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. *[[Rev 21:26]] KJV* And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. *[[Rev 21:27]] KJV* And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
When I read these verses before I was born again I knew I wouldn't enter this place and I wanted too. If none of this is true I am no worse off for it.
I was a slave to my addictions before Jesus set me free but if this is real you, and others need to do the same.
Please answer on the topic if you are going too. Not like a modern politician does. Is there any other opinions out there? I would be interested to here them.
Children who have religious parents are often dragged down from their independance, our sons were not pushed intoreligion and turned out fine adults. It is the parents who are often uncouthed from their own poor state schooling.
I went to a atholic brotherhood school and witnessed the worst kind of teaching which was predominantly orientated around religion, so much so that one was not free to think at all, terrible teachers/brothers with no leighway whatsoever.
The parables of the fishwife coming down from heaven dressed in finery can be witnessed when Virgo crosses the Cardinal Point on the 23 September, first she is taken up into the light of the Sun/heaven in the second week in August and cannot be seen with the naked eye and several weeks later at her Nativity can be seen once again in September, this is what the parable is pointing to, you can set your clock by and the catholic church does this in their celebrtions.
I do not wish for any god to wipe my tears away or wipe the preverbial, I know how to be a good person and to treat others as they would treat you, if they decide to treat me badly I will not turn the other cheek, but treat them reverberations as they handed out to me.
I am as others, but will do as I see fit, and try very hard not to harm another person or their property, that is all we need to do.
