An Etymological Discussion of Ancient Texts

[SlowLoris]

To add to Pascal's wager, is the very real power of prayer.

There is something very "real" about the ability for positive outcomes to happen even though the prayers are separated by great distances.

I have no answer for that, if there is no higher power out there listening and willing and able to fulfill the prayers.

  Amen.

A Father longs to help ~ we need to ask, and it will be given.  Seek and we'll find.

I know in my heart there is something big, something good out there. My experiences have prooved that to me. And blah, blah, blah. It's not at all important, my experiences.

But this is:

1 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is a shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 A stranger they simply will not follow, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6 This figure of speech Jesus spoke to them, but they did not understand what those things were which He had been saying to them.

7 So Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and (a)have it abundantly.

11 “I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. 12 He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. 13 He flees because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd, and I know My own and My own know Me, 15 even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd. 17 For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again. 18 No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.”

19 A division occurred again among the Jews because of these words. 20 Many of them were saying, “He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to Him?” 21 Others were saying, “These are not the sayings of one demon-possessed. A demon cannot open the eyes of the blind, can he?”

John 10:1-21

No one is addressing this. Why did our manipulators need our gold? From whence did our modifiers come? Is it on cycle, in orbit? Is it scheduled to come again and again?

I have a feeling that 2025 is going to be an amazing year of awakening and truth seeking. People are primed for it.

Great thread

Wallis and Biglino have opened many eyes.  Thanks @SlowLoris . 

Much of what has been hidden from us for the past millennia is due to maintaining control over the sheeple as a good shepherd must do.   The elimination of so many "Books" from the Holy Bible are evidence to that.

Just a couple ancient artworks:

Ancient India and vimanas.



I doubt if this was a "fig newton" of someone's imagination.

I like that Mauro Biglini says that he approaches all the ancient texts the same way, whether it's the Bible, clay tablets from Sumaria, Plato, Homer, Egyptian hieroglyphs or whatever, he pretends that they are all true. That way he doesn't lose anything by dismissing it as myth. That's because most myths have underlying truths in them.

Combined, all these ancient texts can help us discover our true beginnings, our true history.

I disagree entirely on both points. No books were ever removed from the Catholic and Orthodox Bibles. Enoch was not even written yet when the Septuagint was convened. Anyone can read as much as they like about the topic. Concerning the paintings, they were never considered flying saucers until very recently, when the ancient aliens craze took on, and only so by uneducated amateurs. There are very good reasons why they were never considered to be spacecraft. Here's an art historian writing about these misunderstood paintings:

Thanks @Treebeard .  I always respect and appreciate your inputs.

We wish to believe what we believe to wish. ( edit as I had it bassackwards).

I still can recite the Nicene Creed, instilled upon us in my youth.  But that was written to gain control (organize) the people, by men who felt superior to the commoners.

I remain,
Cynically yours
