    If Jesus Christ is King, Jewish custom is the Mother is Queen rather than pagan custom of wife being queen.

    Misrepresentation. Don't learn what Jews believe from Nazis. Learn what Jews believe from Jews.

    Anyone throughout all time and space could have heard of God as nothing is impossible with God. Everything Jesus taught was already being taught.


    Jesus Christ didn't teach anything new he even gives a parable about this in "the parable of the evil farmers", He is just the best teacher.

    Matthew 21

    33“Listen to another parable. There was a landowner who PLANTED A VINEYARD AND PUT A WALL AROUND IT AND DUG A WINE PRESS IN IT, AND BUILT A TOWER, and rented it out to vine-growers and went on a journey. 34“When the harvest time approached, he sent his slaves to the vine-growers to receive his produce. 35“The vine-growers took his slaves and beat one, and killed another, and stoned a third. 36“Again he sent another group of slaves larger than the first; and they did the same thing to them. 37“But afterward he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 38“But when the vine-growers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir; come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.’ 39“They took him, and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. 40“Therefore when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine-growers?” 41They said to Him, “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end, and will rent out the vineyard to other vine-growers who will pay him the proceeds at the proper seasons.”


    You have done meditation before just never would have called it so, you still do it though. Its any kind of great focus when you are in the zone. You are not particularly thinking about or daydreaming and focused on immediate actions.

    The entirety of Buddhism for the most part is found in Matthew 6. If you actually put into practice what Jesus teaches in Matthew 6 you are practicing "BUDDHISM". We don't have to call it "Buddhism" but it IS what it IS.


    People never actually practice what Jesus teaches, Folks just take it for granted and say yeah sure.

    Example.

    Matthew 6

    22The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

    Buddhism teaches this as Right View. Now I see your profile pic you have glasses, It doesn't mean since you have bad vision you must be an evil person. He is clearly talking about how you perceive things.

    This is where one can claim SEEING is BELIEVING in the bible. Notice plenty of people teach the exact opposite, backwards version. Because one is dark they see everything evil. Or unless internally you are enlighten only then you can see clearly. Won't hear your Calvinist brothers quote this one much.

    The backwards version of what Jesus teaches. Jesus instead teaches get the vision clear first.....get rid of the plank in our own eye first.

    Matthew 6
    27Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

    Matthew 6
    34Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

    Jesus confronts you to stay in the present moment. Worrying about the future is not going make you live longer.

    For example what are we going to wear tomorrow? what am I going to eat? He tells you God provides to birds and flowers and you are worth more than that.

    Most people take Jesus teachings for granted. Yeah Jesus is right I shouldn't worry or fear about anything, amen, but that is it. They don't actually take it to practice.

    I would challenge you to DO what Jesus says. This would be an actual expression of FAITH ALONE, actually relying on God, is walking the walk not just talking the talk.

    What meditation does is shift you from the state of worry and whining to focus of listening closely and watching closely presently what is happening right this moment. Could you trust God with your problems? Could you believe God has all things covered?

    Practice it.

    That whole idea is ridiculous. Mary's soul is in paradise, & she knows nothing(nor cares) about what transpires here. Prayers to deas saints don't go past the ceiling.

    She was not a "perpetual virgin". Scripture plainly says she had at least 6 other children after Jesus.

    And Jesus simply ascended to heaven when it was time, witnessed by men. Nothing is said about His taking anything with Him. The ark of the Covenant is now in the heavenly temple; how it got there, we don't know, Indiana Jones notwithstanding.

    There's a difference in thinking about God & trying to reach Nirvana. And sitting there mumbling a mindless chant & calling it a prayer while fiddling with a handful of beads certainly isn't honoring God.

    It's not a mindless chant. It contains words that come directly from the Holy Scriptures and to be done right the various events of Christ's life are to be meditated upon as it is prayed. You know, things like the first miracle performed by Jesus at Cana; the visit of the Angel Gabriel to the Blessed Mother; Her visit to her cousin Elizabeth; Jesus's time of agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, etc. Are you really against meditating on those things?

    The only things you might be able to be legitimately against in this particular spiritual exercise because of your faith tradition are the crowning of the Blessed Mother as the Queen of heaven (which we believe is talked about in the Book of Revelation) and her bodily assumption into heaven. Everything else is clearly biblical to the core, even to non-orthodox believers like yourself.

    I said She is the Ark of Psalm 132:8
    …7Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool. 8Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength. 9May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and Your saints shout for joy.…

    I never said she did not have other children nor did I say she is perpetually a virgin because she did not live according to the call of marriage. I said ,she received her imperishable body= her immortality , which would mean she is in perpetual virginity not only in obedience to God and the laws of marriage but is also NOW from that point on, in a state of perpetual VIRGINITY. For when we are given our new immortal bodies we are like the angels. Neither marrying or being given in marriage.

    Stop misconstruing what I said. And now jezebel tell me what the prophecy (which many of the Psalms are) is saying. Everyone seems to be avoiding answering that question with a ten foot pole.

    Psalm 132:7-9
    …7Let us go to His dwelling place; let us worship at His footstool. 8Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength. 9May Your priests be clothed with righteousness, and Your saints shout for joy.…

    Have at it......:Geek you have my undivided attention. I know you can not deduce equations because it would seem you skipped math class, LOL. But just as MEN could deduce from scripture the TITLE of HOLY TRINITY, can you deduce from scripture the sum of, 1. Who Christ is...?
    2. What was placed in the OC ark.....?
    3.What is NOW the obsolete Covenant.....?
    4.If the OC is called obsolete what is the Ark of His strength in Psalms 132 .....?

    I’d love to have my mom’s beads when she’s done down here.

    I agree they are powerless and it’s use other than a keepsake is futile.

    Yeah, it should be recited by football quarterbacks in case they find themselves in a sticky wicket & need a hail mary to bail their team out.

    Seems the rosary is more a prayer to Mary than anything. She doesn't even know the rosary exists, & she certainly doesn't hear one "hail Mary" on earth. Seems y'all don't wanna let the ol' girl rest in peace.

    A little aside-You have a Husky? I have one that weighs 120 lb. & stands 30" at the shoulder, piebald coloration. And he's a purebred Sibe. Shoulda named him "Shaquille".

    Mean while.........back to reality at Jacobs ladder. That extends from HEAVEN TO EARTH AND BACK AGAIN. Only the House of God has access to it. From that privileged position, I will explain how the House of God on earth has access to the House of God in heaven, for the Dunces in the room.

    But first let the replacement (Roby) for the REAL Teacher (The Holy Spirit) explain Psalms 132 as I challenged him to do.

    This is why I said ya oughtta let your lithium & Thorazine kick in before ya post!

    If Mary's an ark, I'm a steamboat!

    Between the RCs & whatever goofy cult you belong to, ya just don't wanna let the ol' girl rest.

    David was writing about the time while the ark of the Covenant was parked in the house of Abinadab, then in Obed-Edom's home til David became king & had it returned to the tabernacle.

    And I don't think we hafta look to far to find a modern Jezebel, which means "wedded to Baal", as it seems your cult is something Baal's followers have dreamed up. Your stuff gets weirder & goofier as you go.

    Now prove, with the scriptures your claim jezebel, then the Holy Spirit will speak. A few questions , replacement......, so God's resting place is on earth right? According to you. So arise Lord to your resting place is on earth , according to you, jezebel?
