"A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, 10 they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.” 12 This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus."


Why should you care about the Wrath to be poured out?

“A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. 9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.”

Why ? Because it only exists in those who have not yet come to know the true unchanging nature and character of God that never entertains the nature and character of man as being real.

It is time to leave the wickedness of worshipping the bible as if it is God, or leaving everyone thinking you do(because whether you are or not, it very much sounds like fundamentalist do) as if God and the bible are one and the same.

There is therefore no more male, and no more female because all are female by flesh, and all are male by spirit, the spirit of the hidden man of the heart.
I appreciate this explanation. Still thinks it's pretty icky, can't changed me on that ...the Muslim thing, too...virgins waiting for them when they blow infidels up. We women have enough predators as it is here!
I do know all souls are as female and God is our Lover.

I notice I mistakenly called you HB for short when it should have been HF, sorry.

Only our Father could have shown you this (as He showed me).

Julia Galef: Why you think you're right -- even if you're wrong | TED Talk
I love that ...soldier vs scout! If we are in tune we have a balance of both...I see that in myself.
Yes, we still a Western Network 'Grit TV' here and Branded still plays!

Living with a therapist for 23 yrs...I think I know why people want to be right! (our basic core initial fear of abandonment...
of course, I could say that about everything!!! Instilled basic survival ...LOL!)
..but will enjoy the link...thanks...will anyone else click it? Hope so.

I forget about Ted Talk. I watch many interviews on 'Buddha at the Gas Pump'...here's one with Ken Wilber , "A Brief History of Everything", "The Religion Of Tomorrow" ...sorry this site gives you a huge photo, not just a simple link. As a sample if you never heard of it...2hrs 43 !
