This will probably seem harsh, but I have to share what I think about this and other recent postings.
I thought this was a Christian message board.
I get tired of seeing posts about other religions here and the tolerance shown towards other "doctrines" or "prophesies" such as this and the "The Essential Kabbalah " as though they are "just alright". They aren't. Jesus said that not one will come to the Father except through Him. These other religions do not teach that.
Why should we aim to be "more educated" in these other teachings when most of us cannot even name all the books of the bible, let alone in order!
I don't know who the Hopis are, but we had better be careful not to put anything above the provision and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. There has been an awful lot of talk about the prophesy of non christian sources and interest in other "religions" or whatever lately. Please don't promote this over Christianity. I am sure there are a lot of people that visit this board other than our "crowd" and I am certain there are some that visit who are new in Christ and this type of thing might become a stumbling block to them.
I don't think people spend enough time praying and reading the Bible, let alone to be encouraged to dabble in the recent ideas posted.
The reason I say this is not to ask for legislation of the board, it is to plead with my family to continue looking toward the prize and continue on the correct path.
Put your faith in Christ.
: I don't think there are words to properly honor what this man has written. We saw some of this on the news last night and it's tragic. The truth in this matter is so heavy it's suffocating. There will be no winners. This is the real stuff. The Hopis prophesized years ago that the West would end up on their bellies trying to survive. Here we are and here we go. God bless the world.
