And a voice came from the throne, saying, “Give praise to our God, all you His slaves, you who fear Him, the small and the great.” Then I heard something like the voice of a great crowd and like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, saying, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns.”

I've seen a mute icon to block threads, not sure how you block individuals but there's probably a button you can push somewhere when someone pushes your buttons, lol! You can tell when someone blocks you because your reply to them won't post and it says that you've been blocked.

How weird that I was thinking of this one last night...Rev . 15:2-4 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.

Rev. 14:9-11 If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark IN his forehead (knowledge and allegiance), or IN his hand (service to), The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Hi Col Mac, er, AbidingDude…Revisiting this long conv. Yes, some of us save them for future reference.

It is very obvious who lives in fear. It is you. And your new name reflects that: You abide in that dark, fearful pit below the outhouse, olfactory nerves saturated & spent, your mind hallucinating remembered aromas & fragrances. Hallucinating light.

Your fear is obvious to all but yourself (and who wouldn’t be fearful in that hellish place?) — Fear mingles with the stench in your words, even as you accusingly project your fear onto others, who really don’t fear. Sad, fearful, angry, proud man!

Oh, you can change your name again, but you are still recognizable — by your words — Their telltale hallmarks are stupidity, quick, irrational anger, a vile & limited vocabulary accompanying personal attacks and, of course, ever proselytizing Biglino & his “Naked Bible”. (That habit of behavior doesn’t exactly testify of a great intellect, dude. )

Speaking of Biglino & his work (with which I am quite familiar) — It is you and him and others who are “Naked”, as you proudly strut your imaginary satin robes. We see you even as you can’t see yourself. It would be laughable (and it is, to some), if it weren’t so saddening. Because, clearly, you have been debased by it’s influence — and other gullible souls are vulnerable.

Please know that others recognize you by your words too. ColMac4VP or AbidingDude or whatever new name you hide behind. We recognize who you are. We have these conversations, too, revealing you —with your filthy outhouse-pit mouth, waving your dull, feces-dripping saber, dressed in all your proud and delusional glory.

On the other hand, if you find you can climb out of that reeking pit you abide in, can be civil, stop your little protracted snits and engage in actual courteous discourse — desiring to share some of Biglino’s impressive revelations, we would welcome the respectful exchange of thoughts.

Know that I and others are praying for you. Why? Because the fruit of Christ’s spirit is love and peace. We pray that the God in Christ, who IS, will give you that, that fruit we hope to see in you.

The outhouse is no place to abide, Dude.

Biglino has found his niche —among the collection of fraudulent “scholars”, who cite only each other and whose work cannot bear up under any serious scrutiny.

Followed by a cult of proselytizers who cannot think or write rationally, As exemplified by our dear ColMac, whose been ever so prolific with his Biglino evangelism and so generous with his collection of vile, expletive-laden slurs — all very telling (and comical in a repulsive way).

That is the toxic fruit of the tree upon which he feeds and which he again and again urges us to partake ( in his dozens of posts just in today’s threads! )

Mauro Biglino (born 13 September 1950) is an Italian author, essayist, and translator.

Much of his work focuses on the translation of original Hebrew texts & the intended linguistic meaning vs. the many revisions of the Bible and church history, including conspiracy theories, ufology, and the speculation of ancient astronauts.

As he himself declared, his ideas are mostly based on the literary works of fringe theorists Erich von Däniken and Zecharia Sitchi.

Biglino has also been involved in producing Italian interlinear editions of the Twelve Minor Prophets for Edizioni San Paolo in Cinisello Balsamo, Italy.

You can still have a personal relationship with God without the church. In fact, that is what Jesus was teaching. Be careful, because man and church has interpreted his teachings in ways to keep you from knowing your true divinity.

I have to say Janice that you should know from your bible reading (and I often enjoy your references) but Jesus IS the way, he IS the church. Participation in some secular gathering on a day a week is not required to have a relationship with God or his only son Jesus who is the light, the way the truth. This from a lifelong but lapsed Catholic who misses the traditions but not the political bs and outright criminality of what they perpetuate on the world.

Yep. That’s why I liked your “Huh?” 🤗. There seems to be a lot of that gnostic/new-age true divinity stuff going around. One of the seemingly many false gospels capturing people around here. It’s hard to break through bc it works like an inoculant to God’s truth, to the Gospel. Even more than honest atheism it seems. But He is both the lover of our souls and the author and finisher of our faith. “Huh?” may start a conversation. Then we pray.

We do need the church. We shouldn’t interpret God’s word on our own. We do need the wisdom of the church or we go off in all sorts of different directions. We also need each other. Yes, there is corruption in the church. In the Catholic Church and in all other Christian religions. Because we all have original sin and unfortunately, Priests and pastors and bishops and even the pope are not immune from this. We have had great saints and great sinners and we still do and we always will. But the church was given to us by Jesus because we really do need it. We also need a personal relationship, but we still need the community relationship as well. Man on his own can interpret God’s teachings in very corrupt and misguided ways.

I haven't noticed personal attack (though I am just now noticing him) but his comment about her "bleating" is exceedingly true. Enough is enough and I had THAT a long time ago. Now that I know how to block someone, I'm going to that solution so that will probably take me out of this conversation and others like it.

I've been reading C&C probably longer than you have.

So put that in your pipe and smoke it.

That said...it does make me wonder why I can still see her posts. Gonna have to work on that some more. You have a good day now, darlin'.

Seems like a touchy subject for you, I’m sorry if I hurt you with words. I don’t really have a dog in this fight, I just like to spar. When I see shill accounts lashing out at veteran C&C’ers I like to jump in the fray and mix it up a bit. Your little buddy ‘tha kernel’ is an interesting case, tho. I find it curious that, of all accounts in this comment community…Janice was singled out. I volunteer to take all the insults and vitriol, but Janice only attempts to spread the Gospel. It’s interesting that she would be attacked, for sure. I, on the other hand, love to fight. Thanks for responding, and God bless you.

My Dad was more like yours. He was so smart that I always, always knew I'd never reach his level. It just could not happen because it is plain impossible to compete with genius level if one is not that himself. My Mom was a high school graduate and smart enough, but I noticed that once my father died at the age of 52, she was never quite the same. The aura of my Dad sharpness lapse over time. It would have been better were Mom under my father's protection.

As to God, and life, I suspect we will never quite figure it out. I should have never become what I am. Inexplicably, the Lord got his hands upon me and everything changed. I suspect that this was in the cards ever since the foundations of the earth were set, so to speak. Why I am more in the Light and loath the Darkness, I cannot say. But I give thanks to Providence every day.

Thanks for writing.

Wow. That’s really something to consider. Out of our large family, only one had his family get vaccinated. And guess what? They are the ONLY ones who have now walked away from the faith. I have been struggling for three years to understand how they could do that when they were such active and strong believers before the jabs. This is one explanation that makes sense. I can no longer talk to them about any of this because they get so angry and defensive about the whole C thing (masks, jabs, distancing…). We continue to pray for them to return to the Lord and His Word.

The shots were from Satan, not God. Many churches have become satan worshippers, pushing the shots on their members. Find a church that still worships God, or not, but have your own relationship with God. "Vaccines" (in fact all of them) are like the apple in the garden of Eden, championed by the snake. With Satan's provocation it is humans thinking they know better than God, that God's design is defective, so they modify God's holy creation, which is destroying us.

I think we struggle to have faith in certain situations as a means to gain a deeper connection to who God is. Our faith is tested to be refined, not smothered.

Before Covid, we understood our world in a certain way. Through the fires of the last few years, we have been totally transformed, enlightened, awakened and re-educated. Encourage the disheartened to rest in the faithfulness of God. He will keep his promises to us.

By "God," you aren't referring to Fauci, right? I'd have to tell them that God had nothing to do with the shots, and that He had people strongly warning the public not to take the vax. If a person's faith was in government, science, doctors, nurses, mainstream media, or any person other than God, they were going to find out sooner or later that their trust was misplaced. It's not too late for anyone still alive to correct course.

If a person truly repents and invites Jesus into their hearts, the Holy Spirit enters their soul. Their old self dies and they're reborn.

I always have a difficult time believing a person who has gone through this transformational experience can lose their faith in God. It's akin to saying they no longer believe they need oxygen to breathe.

I can understand being angry with God when tragic things happen in life. I think many Christians struggle with this at one time or another. There are many people who took the shots because they thought they were doing the right thing. And btw, there are many scientists and doctors who are Christ believers.

I think everything you suggested is warranted with prayer being at the top of the list. You should pray for them as well. I'll say a prayer for them today.

Yes, to prayer: ours for them and theirs to Him. I think God would love to forgive us if we only realize we sinned, confess it if even if we were deceived. Repentance would be called for and a lesson learned. I think God is bigger and can forgive those for what ever reason decided and/or were forced to take the jab. In my experience the percentage of people who can be un-deceived is small. However it seems the first step is for the person to see and admit to their sin, that's where our prayers for them might come in.

Yes to people at church who are enduring consequences, neighbors and family too. My husband tried to talk to a number of people, devoted Christians, who made their own decisions to receive the jab.

God can handle their anger and questions. I encourage you to point those people back to Jesus. Encourage them, like Job to petition the Lord for answers. If they do that, God will show them exactly what they need to see. If the Covid VAX is the thing that makes them “stop believing”, they were never believers in the first place. After pointing them back to Jesus, connect them with the FLCCC writings and encourage them to find the truth for themselves. I firmly believe that many Christians have the god of science and government firmly put in place before God of the universe. Truth seeking on these two topics will either put them into the agnostic category or open their eyes.

Two things... first, if they believed in God, why would they change their DNA. If they followed the science, they would have know that is what was going to happen. God did not make a mistake with their DNA. What they followed was politicians and greedy or scared doctors/nurses and ignorance. The jab was driven by money not science. From the very beginning, experts in the fields were saying the opposite of the WH, CDC, News etc... people allowed themselves to be scared instead of trusting in God. If they last faith, they didn’t really have it in the first place.

A similar argument was presented at my church by a nurse. She said that God had gifted the scientists the ability to create these wonderful vaccines, so we should all get vaccinated... My pastor preached against the entire charade, stood up to the city/medical drs because we wouldn't shut the doors, no masks, no social distancing, no jabs. This nurse and her husband left the church because we wouldn't mask up, mainly. She took whatever jabs, her cancer returned with a vengeance and she died about 4-5 months later. The husband returned after her death for a while, then he needed a heart bypass. 😢 Just recently, one of the doctors that was so

pro-lockdown actually apologised to the pastor.
