other religions, Christianity is not a social religion - you don't

The devil has blinded the leaders of the churches of today when they serve carved images of the flag of any nation... In Exodus and Deuteronomy God said, not
to serve or bow down
to any carved image in the likeness of
heaven above or in the likeness of the earth below... When you pledge your allegiance
to the flag, you are pledging your allegiance
to the carved images of the flag... The founding fathers made carved images in the likeness of
heaven above and in the likeness of the earth below and set the carved images on a flag and the flag is high and lifted up on a flag pole... Some nations are serving the stars, the moon, and the sun, and
others are serving the eagle, the bear, and the tree... The U.S. is serving the stars of
heaven and the eagle of the earth... Canada is serving the leaf of a tree... Mexico is serving the eagle and the serpent... When you put your right hand
to your heart or
to your forehead, and pledge your allegiance
to the flag, you are committing fornication with the carved images of the flag, God calls this IDOLATRY... The mark of the beast in the right hand or forehead is spiritual and identical
to when you put your right hand over your heart or over your forehead... There is no way
to go around God and the carved images of the flag, unless the devil has blinded the minds of the believer, like when he deceived eve and Adam in the garden of Eden.

to my soul for 20 carats get out shut up i will never ever sell my soul
to you oh god please help me and this is continuing for a few days i am afraid that i have sold my sold
to the devil have i please help and still i think god's way of allowing
others to hate him us much worse even you know and can easily think think about much better punishments like rebirth after being punished for all the sins in life and i am feeling put on the sin of those who committed the unforgiviable sin (the early 0th century priests) imagine them burning in hell fire till now for 2000 years hopelessly screaming
to god for help i can't belive the mercy of god are they forgiven even though commiting this sin keans
going to hell for entinity thank you and congralutions i think the 7 year tribulation periodvis over in 18th century the great commect shooting and in 19th century the sun became dark for a day and moon was not visible on the earth but now satun has the domination over me those who don't belive in jesus crist i used
to belive in him but now after knowing a lot in science it is getting harharder
to belive in him even though i know that he exsists and i only belived in him not that he died for me in the cross and also not for eternal life and i still sin as much as i used
to before but only a little reduced and i didn't accept satan as my master but what can i do because those who knowingly sin a lot and don't belive in jesus christ has
to accept satan as their master because he only teaches us that even though he is evil he gives us complete freedom but thr followers of jesus and god only have freedom because they can sin only with in a limit and no more but recive their reward after their life in
heaven but the followers of satun have
to go to hell butbi don't want
to go to hell and be ruled by the cruel tryant but still why didn't god destroy satun long way before and i think it was also Adam and eve's fault also they could have blamed satan and could have also get their punishment reduced but they didn't and today we are seeing the result

But, I do want you
to explain one thing: If you know that some
go to heaven and some hell, and if you know that some are predestined
to heaven because they receive the gift of faith and
others do not, and if you know there is no way
to come
to such saving faith on our own (which would be a work)... how can this be anything
other than predestination
to hell for those for whom God withholds that gift?
The deciding factor as
to whether someone
goes to heaven or hell is the way they have dealt with
other people.
