Of course, you can always send me emails if they do actually boot you! Your posts are quite interesting, and I like that.

No, sorry; I wasn't familiar with Santaria practices nor do I know who Paglini is..

But I'm glad that God is bigger than all of the darkness around us! His Love can truly liberate our hearts!

Worshipping our Creator is really so simple.. Yet we are so easily side-tracked into so many things. I guess that's where "childlike faith" is so important.. being able to praise, thank and love God in every moment, for everything!


Blessings!

I was going to share some info you may not know about voodoo and how it relates to the Bible.
But I got sidetracked by a couple of posters at the other thread.
They were dressed as pros but did not know any basics.

I think this may be them.


Anyhow,here is the info.

When Jesus received the vinegar he was rendered unconscious.
Because he was given something to make him appear to be dead.
It is done in the Voodoo religion.
When a serious criminal is found guilty the person is given a poison that renders them unconsious and their vital signs get so low they appear to be dead.Then the community buries the person (the criminal is now gone)
Early the next day the person is dug up and revived.
The person is now different,they have paid their debt and are docile and no longer a threat to society.
They are known as zombies.
In Jesus case he was brought to a hebrew tomb.
Where a rock was placed in front of the public entrance.
Hebrew tombs have rear entrances for family.
Jesus was revived and nursed back into shape being rubbed down with what is known as Ointment of Jesus.

That is what gave him the sheen he had when he went to say good bye.

Evelyn Paglini is a witch.
She came from a family of witches that were also christians.
She spent 25 years infultrating secret societies and testified about ritualistic child abuse.
Dr. Paglini also has had several interviews and discusses the wide spread use of magic in politics including the white house of the united states.
Her interviews are very interesting and insiteful.

What I have also learned over time that there is a blending of Voodoo or Santaria and Christianity.
Evidence can be found in flags,prayer cards and portraits.
All these things have the faces of voodoo gods on them.
And most people do not know that.
It is said that Haiti is 100% Voodoo but only 90% catholic.
Voodoo is another culture and religion that the public has been misled about.
The black magic stories can be true but it is not a problem solely isolated to voodoo.
The same can be said of those that use the bible for evil purposes or try and get people hooked on drugs so they can be taken advantage of or even medical doctors that mess people up with prescription drugs.
The booga booga stories are just that,booga's.

A good friend of mine told me about a show he watched.
It was about witchdoctors.
A person with a condition came to the witch doctor and the process was filmed.
The witch doctor was dressed in his garb.
He lit something on fire and made smoke,he chanted and shook feathers over the persons body.
When he was all done an interviewer started to ask how each thing that the witch doctor did worked.
And the witch doctor told the interviewer that the things he did do not actually do anything.
The interviewer was puzzled.
The witch doctor told the interviewer that he only does these things because the patient expects him to do these things and the patient has the ability to heal themselves.

That is what gave him the sheen he had when he went to say good bye.


John 19:34 "One of the soldiers pierced Jesus' side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water."

Medical doctors, forensic pathologists and such, have stated that in order for blood and water to come out of a person whose side was pierced by a spear, the person has to already be dead. Of course, this medical knowledge was unavailable at the time that the gospels were written, so the inclusion of what would appear to be merely expository descriptive material in the natural sense actually served nearly 2000 years later to prove that Jesus Christ died on the cross just as the gospels, epistles, and prophecies bear witness.

He was resurrected and is alive today. Hallelujah!!!!
