I have a question for you Jacob, have you actually read the bible? No seriously, Have you actually sat down and read it? More so, have you interpreted it? Have you deciphered what the words and passages mean to YOU? instead of what a priest tells you?
Yes I've gone through it once cover to cover, and I skip around now and again.

Aragon seriously, even if I was raised a catholic, in my teen years I doubted what I learned in catholic school and started attending protestant services.

I changed to public school when I got to intermediate level and started hanging around gangsters.

I wasn't very much like them but they accepted me because I used to box and they liked it when I was around when we got into gang fights.

I've learned my gang banging, stealing cars, cutting school, shootings, drug dealings, seducing girls and street smarts from them.

Anyway I started studying the occult. Got fascinated with witchcraft, vampires, secret societies.

Then with what I was studying it coincided with world events since 9/11. Politics, the war, a new world order.

I won't get into the details because there's somethings you shouldn't talk about, which already got me in huge trouble.

I'll just say that magic/witchcraft, the craft, is real, and I was scared sh!tless, because I opened my mouth about what I studied and was observing in the media and headlines, like I'm doing now. That's why I can't go into detail.

But the counter to witchcraft is church craft. And since witchcraft summons the devils and evil spirits with their rituals and the Catholic Church with its traditions and rituals summon God, the Most High Spirit and His angels. I started to pray the rosary since it's always been a spiritual weapon for centuries.

Anyway I started reading more into the history of the church and learning about Cathoclism and the real teaching.

And what I've learned is deep. There's a cultural war being fought to this day. The main players are secret societies against the Catholic Church. I'm afraid to get into the details. But the world order has been a Christian world order established by the Catholic Church since Emperor Constantine to the present day, but it's slowly being eroded by her enemies and movements such as Marxism. You can look into it yourself if you want, but for this discussion I'll leave it at that.

But my question to you is how do you know that the books in the bible are the inspired word of God? since there were thousands of books claiming do be from God.

The fact is, the Holy Spirit guided the Catholic Church to recognize and determine the canon of the New and Old Testaments in the year 382 at the council of Rome, under Pope Damasus I.

Infact the first gospels weren't even written until 90 years after Jesus ascended into heaven. So the early Christians didn't even have a Bible. They learned Jesus' teachings through traditions passed down from the Apostles.

Furthermore, the reason you accept the books you do is that they were in the Bible someone gave you when you first became a Christian. You accept them because they were handed on to you. This means you accept the canon of the New Testament that you do because of tradition, because tradition is simply what is handed on to us from those who were in the faith before us.

And as far as the Inquisition and Crusades. It was the government not the church, running amok and allowing the killings.

You have to remember that the Spanish conquistadors were the ones persecuting and killing the Mayan indians. But the Jesuit Priests and religious argued that the Mayans were also human beings like the Spanish and that they too deserved the same human rights that Christianity bestowed to the spanish.
And they fight for human rights to the present day, that's why women are liberated, you have your freedom, and they're battling for the rights of the unborn in his mothers womb.


The story with the crusades had to do with corrupt knights and soldiers that took advantage of the war situation to pillage and rape. Same with present day war and soldiers that call themselves Christians.

Again you have to understand history and be cognizant of a hidden war against the church to discredit her and portray her as the wrong doer.

And don't you ask another Christian to pray for you? The intercession of Mary and the Saints, people that have already made it to heaven and are Holy and purified are powerful when they ask our Lord for a favor.

You asked for one passage, although I can give many more. In the book of Revelation, John sees that "the twenty four elders (the leaders of the people of God in heaven) fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and with golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints." Thus the saints in heaven offer to God the prayers of the saints on earth.

and again at the wedding at Cana, Jesus' first miracle even if it wasn't His time to perform a miracle, His mom asked him to do something for the wedding party ran out of wine and He obliged His mothers request.


And chics love when you know this kinda stuff since it can take them higher to a place where there's golden streams and blind men see.

Amen.

This post actually really offended me. I used to be that guy that was always getting made fun of back when I was in school... usually it was behind my back when they thought I couldn't hear them. It really, really hurt. Does that mean I'm not a good friend? Does that mean I'm a bad person?

I guess it can be hard to empathize with someone whose situation you've never been in... but it's not fair for you to just dump someone as a friend because other people are always making fun of him... if anything, those are the people who need you most.

Here are some treasured quotes from my roommate (a fvcking retard):

"Dude you are blocking the sink. Throw your food in the trash bin."

"You broke my bike paddel."

"I don't have cash. I will write you a check for those 4 dollars."

"Its your turn to post the electricity bill."

"Dude don't use my frying pan."
Well, since your roommate isn't here to defend himself I'll defend him.

- Throwing your food in the trash is a good idea... it's bad to get in the habit of putting food in the garbage disposable because it will eventually get clogged.

- Did you break his bike peddle? Well then fix or replace it.

- Maybe he really didn't have the cash and a check was just more convenient.

- Was it?

- You should respect his property. Don't use his things without asking for permission first. It's a matter of principle.

I don't think these quotes are that shocking or a sign of him being a "fvcking retard."

2.0 I can see you have compassion. I agree that you shouldn't put others down because they're different. Infact in order to cultivate a relationship with a female you'll have to be able to get along with her irritating behavior and those loser friends will teach you this virtue to prepare you for such an occasion.

also you gotta wanna be there. and wanna participte in whats going on.

i would rather be alone than in the company of concededness and egocentricism

idiots are another story because i would not hang out with them by choice but have noproblem communicating with them if i hadve to.

those two traits above however make it so that no new information can comein and old nasty habits persist, people who make me unhappy and others as well, can see that and do not care because they 'are who they are' and do not realize that how negative they really feel is pushed onto others because of this excuse are perhaps the only homans i will not be with.

I love this thread

One thing I've noticed, since I have been trying to improve in my life is to see what friends are really there and who are just toxic to me as a spiritual being.

1. I got a friend who is a great guy(and I do consider him a friend), but he is a drunk, I rarely hang out with him these days just because I've maybe only seen him sober twice!! and i have gone out with him tons of times

2. Another guy blasted me just this week because I was dancing with some "fat" girls at the club, and he is the guy always putting me down when a girl isn't on point or nothing, very egostiical i'm just cutting this guy off.

@Aragon--I hear you brother, a lot of friends aren't really friends, there more like "aquistaninces"(sp) I have 5 people (maybe) I would call real friends, most of my "friends" are people who i can call or whatever to just go out to the bar, my 5 real friends we do stuff with

how does one dump a friend?

Ever seen the Seinfeld? :crackup: I had to do it once and it was the messiest thing I've ever done (straight breakups are so much easier).

Welcome to my world.

99.9% of the people at my college are that way. That's why I cut off everyone and just do my own thing.

I'm surrounded by rich kids that do nothing else than getting drunk and high for hours everyday and live off of daddies money.

One kid even got 2 DUIs within a month and a half and completely trashed his car and almost killed somebody, but his parents just keep buying him a new car.

He still drives however when he's drunk and high even though he is not allowed to by the law.

what if you have no friends?
That's the position I'm in right now.

IMO the trouble with so called friends is that they will always try to drag you down if you want to make it to the top.

People get jealous of people that are willing to push themselves to do things that they can't.

If people can't do something themselves they'll tell you that you can't do it either.

People are slaves to unwritten rules that were hammered into their heads since the day they were born and the only way to rationalize a lifetime of slavery is to bond with other slaves and hate on the people that represent freedom.

Everyone talks about freedom, but very few actually are free. Once they see someone who is free it scares them and if you tell them they are not free it makes them angry.

I am what you would describe as a successful loner by choice. Everywhere I go people want to be around me. However I select my friends very, very carefully.

It's really simple. The only way to grow as a person is to bond with people that think like you and act like you.

Damn I feel you

I think lots of us (Dj's whatever you wanna call yourself lol) we "charge" in the field by ourselves because our objective is different. These days I don't go with a wing no more, sure it's having one, but if your wing doesn't have the same agenda as you, its fruitless....
