  2. This idea of a Great Christian Civil War in our time period is beginning to make more and more sense as the months and week go on. One thing that divides most Christians is whether or not little Colton Burpo was a reliable witness of what he saw during his near death experience. I have done polls on Christian forums and a simple poll about whether or not Colton Burpo is a credible witness.... is divided almost 50 - 50...... which to my thinking is kind of sad but....... I have to admit that back in 1988.... when I believed so totally in the Soul Sleep doctrine... I would not have recognized how powerful his testimony really is either!
  3. Rabbi Alon Anava states that during his near death experience he was shown much about what he later learned..... .when he was taught Zohar. So his enthusiasm for Zohar..... is certainly beyond the ordinary. I could be wrong... but I believe that near death experiencer Christian Andreason was shown all the same things....... but because he was not called into Judaism... .he words essentially all the same ideas in simple high school English. http://www.allaboutchristian.com/spirituality/
  4. I just did a search on this question...... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zohar I have been listening to quite a lot about Zohar as explained by Rabbi Alon Anava. I believe that his teachings may be shockingly like those of either John the Baptist and Rabbi Yeshua - Jesus.
  5. I am a former member of the Worldwide Church of God and I have the impression that I pray for very similar reasons to why and how Latter Day Saints pray. Yes...... I admit my errors from the past..... and I ask for wisdom and more of the Holy Spirit so that I can avoid those mistakes in the future. Around 1988 I began to suspect that there might be serious flaws in my theology............ so I prayed and asked Messiah Yeshua - Jesus for correction....... I specifically asked Messiah Yeshua - Jesus to correct me kind of rough..... so that I would catch on to what He was teaching me and not miss it......... I was beginning to realize that the best of the best of the best of the best of the evangelists that I was listening to...... seemed to be missing something........ and sure enough I was led to near death experience accounts and over the next decade I was led to radically change my understanding of the scriptures. Something that I found out to do that some of you may find helpful is to take olive oil............ consecrate it in the name of Messiah Yeshua - Jesus...... I often put it on the tires of my car and drive around areas where I want Messiah Yeshua - Jesus to expand his kingdom into. This was done in Cali, Colombia at the time that it was the murder capitol of the world........ .and an outpouring of the Holy Spirit took place and the transformation in that city was astonishing. They actually dumped the anointed olive oil on the city of Cali from a helicopter that they rented......... I have also consecrated our home and land we own......... We have seen amazing changes since we took that step.
  6. The NDE of Ms. Beverly Brodsky is my favourite........ because she reminds me of Moses who spoke with G-d fearlessly and the answers that she got to her tough questions..... can inspire all of us. https://www.near-death.com/religion/judaism/beverly-brodsky.html
  7. A truly impressive calendar................ it is great to see both the beginning as well as the ending for Yom Kippur!
  8. My old Messianic Gentile church attempted to observe Sukkot...... We made a judgment call that living in a hotel hundreds of miles from home was close enough..... but since I left that church I build a Sukkot in my back yard.
  9. I am pretty sure that I read all of the following articles....... and I believe that they have truly helped to understand the Jewish view of life and the afterlife significantly better. Kevin R. Williams B.Sc. is one of the best writers on this topic that I have found so far. https://www.near-death.com/religion/judaism.html
  10. Your prayers appreciated..... I got a version of this going that could actually get quite a few people thinking over the next year or so.

  11. So true.... and I found his books 'The Final Quest' and ' The Call' extremely helpful in assisting me to have at least some idea of the astonishing gifts that my Charismatic Catholic or Pentecostal wife has..... (she would not be offended by being called either since she was raised Catholic). I read those two book..... most parts of them anyway.... perhaps ten times to try to understand her. I believe that my wife is Sephardic Jewish genetically .... but has no interest in Judaism like I do yet....... Do the devils and demons fear Messiah Yeshua - Jesus? Yes.... so could their lying visions..... have a significant element of truth within that can be discerned.... by the Holy Spirit? I am thinking of the "Prophet" Balaam.
  12. So....... after taking far too much of a nutritional product called M.... for about two years........ I am going through all this anger....... and disillusionment.........and I remember Isaiah 45 verse 1.... I raise my hand.... .and challenge Moshiach to take me by the right hand... as Moshiach had done for the ancient Gentile King Cyrus....... I thank Moshiach for doing an Academy Award winning rendition of Messiah the Passover Lamb but........... I felt that there had to be some hidden gold in the statement...... "but the goat on which the lot fell for Aza'zel shall be presented alive before the LORDto make atonement over it, that it may be sent away into the wildernessto Aza'zel." (Leviticus 16:10) and I went all radical in my interpretation of this verse....... and what it might perhaps mean............ for the long term......??????
  13. Wow!!!! Thank you.... I will definitely keep this option in mind because I always ask for Yom Kippur off from work....... and then I start working on some of the other High Holy Days if possible....... ......(my theology is rather liberal so I weasel around cleaning up the school so that nasty diseases don't get passed on the next day)........ You actually might find my own story kind of interesting........ I had a really strange ten years from 1990 - 2000...... that kind of remind me of "days of Awe?!" Disillusionment with what Rabbi Yeshua - Jesus accomplished was on my mind back in 1990....... at Yom Kippur..... partly because my dad had died on January 1, 1990. My first years to actually fast on Yom Kippur would be the late '70's. Could the Christian gospel be much worse news? Back around 1990 I went through a pretty serious theological crisis when I found out that the Soul Sleep theory was in error. I had believed in it pretty firmly since the early '70's. It sure sounded a whole lot more humane than the gospel as presented by Dr. Billy Graham..... that had inspired me to become an Atheist from around 1967 - 1973 until I began to listen to Evangelist Garner Ted Armstrong. Without Soul Sleep until the resurrection......the plan of G-d as explained by Rabbi Yeshua - Jesus sounded pretty awful.Matthew 22:14"For many are called, but few are chosen."Matthew 7:13¶Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."Matthew 5:28"But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast itfrom thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell."So the possible reality of this hell.... that is so scary that it would be a good idea to take an axe to our right hand....made the Gospel / Good News..... look a whole lot less good. Near death experiencer Bob Jones was shown that only about two percent of people in North America can go quickly into the paradise / heaven environment after death.http://www.thequickenedword.com/rhema/BobJonesTestimonyAugust81975DeathExperience.htm
  14. Rabbi Pinchas Winston.... in one of his articles on Moshiach ben Yosef stated that Messiah son of Joseph could well appear to be a Gentile for halachic purposes.... (pardon my spelling)...... due to the Tribes of Joseph being largely lost to history. Could his ancestors have migrated to North America and could he be significantly descended from the forty eight First Nations Tribes of North America....... some of whose ancestors may have migrated to South America nearly 3000 years ago? http://beta.moshiach.com/index.php/item/ecuador
  15. Good questions....... for the record I am extremely impressed by the Dali Lama and I consider that he is probably more knowledgable on many aspects of the state of the dead than eighty percent or more of Christians. Although I am a Gentile I find Rabbi Alon Anava's particular case fascinating and I have listened to his NDE account four or more times already....... His lecture on how he knows Messiah is coming........... could actually prepare a person who looks on the surface to be a Gentile...... but they actually could be an Ephrayimite with a Danite mother .... and Zeraite Jewish grandmothers........ and he could get hit with the Ruach ha Kodesh in the form of a bird of prey....... as opposed to the Holy Spirit coming down on them like a dove....... which is part of our dogma. "How Do I Know the Messiah is Coming? - Rabbi Alon Anava"
  16. UH OH... I am in trouble......... I like them too?! But before you ban me as well..... perhaps sent me a little prayers......... because some of those tunes from the '70's are getting me worked up and I want to start a kerfuffle....... Andrew Scheer, I am willing to take on either M. P. Sean Fraser or M.P. Bill Casey. politicalforum. com/index.php?threads/andrew-scheer-i-am-willing-to-take-on-either-m-p-sean-fraser-or-m-p-bill-casey.539570/ Wow... I was trying to kill the link...... but it kind of comes back again and again and gain??????
  17. Actually.... I am very, very, very, very pro-Trump myself....... but I concluded back in 1994 that the USA and Canadian national debts are significantly smoke and mirrors....... and can be blown away by a combination of The Holy Spirit..... knowledge from Messiah Yeshua - Jesus and...... UNITY among brethren. Here is the article that I was given back in 1994 that shocked me into rethinking the couple of university Economics courses that I had taken: https://www.michaeljournal.org/articles/politics/item/abraham-lincoln-and-john-f-kennedy
  18. I am listening to this interview for the second time already because this is a truly brilliant explanation of how and why Canadian diplomats went wrong on diplomatic relations to Saudi Arabia? I agree with Mr. Tom Quiggin that the present Canadian administration is favouring Iran....... over Saudi Arabia........ which is a seriously flawed approach to take in this case!
  19. Let's say that Mrs. Anne Romney........ had at her disposal a form of an alternative currency...... in a Theoretically Infinite Supply...... and that currency could be viewed in one sense as a prop...... and let's say that she went all out full throttle to reduce the incidence of suicide among young people in Utah? https://mormonhub.com/forums/topic/65381-what-is-really-going-on-with-utah’s-suicide-epidemic/?page=2&tab=comments#comment-984552
  20. Could Utah be one of the fist USA States to reduce the suicide rate there by perhaps fifty percent or more within two to five years? I have some ideas on that..... but I think that they might fit best in another forum here? This looks like a job for The White Horse First Lady:
  21. My old church..... The Worldwide Church of God....... came up with doctrines that over fifty years came terribly close to Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. For a church that only began in 1934..... that was a pretty serious example of rapid degeneration...... Strangely enough though... I am glad that I was brought out of Atheism by Mr. Garner Ted Armstrong...... he had a lot of good ideas......... In my opinion..... because you Latter Day Saints have the most open mind toward near death experience accounts....... you are all set up to conquer the world metaphorically........ and maybe even literally....... The being of light of NDE fame, G-d or Satan? It seems to me that we are in a situation somewhat like the time of the Prophet Elijah.1Kings 18:21 I began to study these experiences a great deal back in 1990. They immediately made me realize that the "soul sleep" doctrine that I had been taught was almost certainly in error. I got kicked out of two churches due to disagreements mainly over that doctrine. But as a Christian there was no way that I could deny the possibility of people having an "out of the body experience!"2 Corinthians 12:2 But I know that many Christians struggle with these accounts..... partly because they are offended that people are shown going to heaven who have not "accepted Yeshua - Jesus" in quite the same manner that they did?!?!http://www.near-death.com/experiences/notable/howard-storm.htmlHoward Storm: Here is the verse that causes many Christians to reject NDE accounts as a deception from the dark side of the force.Acts 4:12
  22. Could a tour of several cities in Utah by Rabbi Alon Anava be the best way to turn around the tendency for Utah's young people to take their own lives??????
  23. No church is one hundred percent perfect....... from what I read in 'Transformed By The Light' by Melvin Morse M. D. I personally would have expected that Utah would have had one of the LOWEST rates of suicide of any USA State or Canadian province..... so that article is surprising........ So I have a suggestion.......... ...... .how about organizing a tour of several Utah cities by Rabbi Alon Anava who had a quite negative near death experience......... to see if his tour can reduce the tendency for Utah's young people to take their own lives?! I am sorry if my advice is unwise.... but I have listened to his NDE account four or five times already........ and I am truly impressed by his honesty...... his humility.... his zeal........ I am kind of wondering if listening to him could be a great remedy for the Ephesian Complex.... .losing our first love?????? This could be done in conjunction with all Jewish synagogues in Utah..... and Orthodox Jews could be given first chance at the best seats in the auditoriums...... https://www.alonanava.com/
  24. I am searching for more specifics on this at this moment.... .I haven't found that exact event yet... but I am glad that I found this sobering and saddening article. https://nationalpost.com/opinion/brian-mulroney-canada-and-the-jews Brian Mulroney: Canada and the Jews
  25. I read The Miracle of MSM by Stanley Jacobs M. D. back in 1999 and I would recommend researching it further. Every word that he wrote about nutritional sulphur has been proven true to myself and everybody that I got onto this low cost relatively natural substance that is available everywhere. Veterinarians were using it for a century and it was approved for human back in 1997. I actually purchase my favourite version of it from an animal feed store because it is the best powered version that I have found so far. I have the impression that this webpage is probably a summary of his book: http://www.msm-info.com/#Stress
