with perfume that «wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her»; who bantered
with a Syrophoenician woman, talked theology
with a Samaritan woman, and healed a bleeding woman; who appeared first before women after his resurrection, despite the fact that their culture deemed them unreliable witnesses; who charged Mary Magdalene
with the great responsibility of announcing the start of a new creation, of becoming the Apostle
to the Apostles.
That was a very interesting read many comments caught my attention I've recently been diagnosed
with Bipolar I have hallucinations and hear voices in my ear's when I hallucinate it's likes they are trying
to get me thousands of them I can only describe them as dark shadows and they are trying
to get me just as they are about
to get me a brilliant white light surrounds me and there's three entities humanly shaped but like this brilliant white light they are also glowing this brilliant whiteness I can't understand what they are saying the only way I can explain it is emotions comfort joy love is what I feel emanating
from these entities the voices I hear aren't evil telling me
to do bad things
to people when I get put into a mode of fear I live in a rough area of Scotland and everytime I've got into a fight something possesses me I know this for a fact as I can't control myself I'm an observer watching my family / Friends say I
change they say my eyes
change and I look evil I personally do think possibly through my own personal experience I» am possessed as I act out of character I've lost interest in many things I've recently I decided it's
time for
change I've lost my faith I've been trying
to connect
with God and feel his love which I used
to feel the presence of the holy spirit everytime I try connect I get a feeling of abandonment I just think if I am possessed could these entities stop me connecting
with «God» I can say
from my heart of hearts «JESUS CHRIST HAS COME IN THE FLESH» I think it's more
to do
with the persons own personal fears which I have noticed my fears have
changed if I had
to be truthfully
with myself I fear God which I know I'm not supposed
to just I can't explain it I guess if you ever need a test subject I'm up for the challenge like I said I'm on journey
to find myself and my travels have brought me hear I'm going
to hang around for a wee while there's lots of good information
to be plundered loll
everything is made up of atoms (don't believe me do some research) its the different variables of heat and light and things like that that cause different reactions
to make different things and these things when they interact can create something completely different and you and slowly the process of mitosis or miosis starts
to work and form stuff hell i learnt that in high school and it was a catholic one at that a millions of years ago i bet the universe was completely different and had things in it that our minds cant even imagine that have since
changed over
time from action and reaction
to what we have today and in another million years who knows
with all the different gases we pump into the air and the weather getting more intense on both ends of the scale life as we know it will be different the human race will have
to evolve
to survive and will probibly form into a slightly different species hell maybe well evolve into 2 different species like in the movie
time machine
People have rejected theism because they held untenable the idea of a mind not subject
to change or
to interaction
with other beings, or a mind omnipotent in the sense that its power was all the power in existence, or a mind having precise knowledge of details of the future (or of all
times from the standpoint of eternity), or a mind creating a first state of the cosmos at a finite
time in the past, or knowing all suffering although it did not itself suffer, or an all - embracing mind which in no sense could be identified
with the universe, or one which could in every sense be identified
with it.
