HAVE YOU READ "YOUR LIFE, YOUR BODY?"
Your life. Your body. RESUME of MAJOR POINTS. Issues of PERSONAL RIGHTS and ABORTION. ORIGIN of EACH HUMAN LIFE. Human sperm and ovum: not originally designed or infused with life by human beings. The DNA in the fertilized ovum contains the COMPLETE GENETIC CODE for a mature human. ANTHONY FLEW, renowned philosopher, renounces ATHEISM after studying human DNA. By what authority do parents, third parties, or organizations of any kind autocratically void the rights to the natural formation of any new human life conceived? The irony of people who were not aborted taking the step of aborting human lives they, themselves, conceive or the human lives others conceive. Which life is most important, that of the MOTHER or that of the FETUS? Analytical reply. "EQUAL OPPORTUNITY" for all humans conceived! Life originated by the Super Powerful Creator, the Super Intelligent Designer, who sets practical and noble purposes for all human beings conceived. Alpha Index Personal Rights, Abortion, Human life origin, Conception of human life, DNA, Creator Designer, Fetus.
An entity called "The BYZANTINE EMPIRE"
NEVER EXISTED!
Facts and Fictions regarding the "BYZANTINE EMPIRE" that NEVER EXISTED! RESUME of MAJOR POINTS. What is called the "Byzantine Empire" only by historians after 1557 CE was, in reality, the Eastern Roman Empire. The DURATION of the original ROMAN EMPIRE. The highly deleterious impact on the interpretation of prophecies in Revelation and Daniel of the FALSE NARATIVE that says “The Roman Empire Ended in 476 CE.” IT DID NOT! A conclusion supported by the renowned historians of the world, such as Edward Gibbon and Will and Ariel Durant (Pulitzer Prize Winners), plus the plain facts of undistorted history that any serious, unbiased student of history can appreciate. A "BYZANTINE EMPIRE" NEVER EXISTED! The "HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE" was held by its creators and rulers to be a continuation of the original Roman Empire. The ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH EMPIRE. 2 video clips. 8 images.
HISTORY
Religious | Political | Kingdoms | Nations | Peoples
Much "HISTORY" of several major kingdoms of the world and their interactions with RELIGIONS, especially with CHRISTIANITY, can be found in the 10 documents of Section 6, of the "21st Century Commentary on Revelation" on this site. For example, in Act 1 Scene 2.
Act 1, Scene 2. RESUME of MAJOR POINTS. The "First Beast" of Revelation 13 rises out of the sea, roiled by the "four winds of heaven." So do the "four great beasts" of Daniel 7:1-3. The "SEVEN HEADS" of the "FIRST BEAST" of Revelation are not the seven hills on which Rome was built. They are not seven forms of Roman government, nor seven Roman emperors. They are not contemporary. Five have fallen, one is present when Revelation was written in 95 CE, and the other had not yet come. The "SEVEN HEADS" are "seven kings" and "seven mountains" (Revelation 17:9), both symbolizing earthly kingdoms. Extensive evidence in support of these interpretations is also revealed in Daniel’s visions as recorded in Daniel 7:1-28, which are studied. The seven earthly kingdoms represented by the"SEVEN HEADS" of the "first beast" are identified by name. 1 video clip. 13 images. Response to a "professor" who mocks the "First Beast" as "preposterous... disgustingly abnormal and ugly... pagan language and art forms."
ARMAGEDDON
The
"SHORT TIME" of Revelation 20
The MILLEN-NIUM wanes gradu-ally
Christ returns trium-phant
“ARMAGEDDON” in Revelation 16:13-16
Armageddon. Scene 1. Data on the origin and meaning of the name "Armageddon." It is the Greek translation of Megiddo, a strategic military location in the Fertile Crescent on the edge of the Jezreel Valley, Israel, for millennia. Is the "Armageddon" of Revelation an earthly-material-carnal war or purely spiritual? Spiritual wars in heaven and on earth. The "armor" and "warfare" of God and His authentic Church are only and exclusively spiritual, an affirmation supported by several Bible texts. Three examples of churches involved in earthly, material, carnal warfare. Two video clips. Four images.

Three Questions for Today
A new “POPE” for the world?
NEGATIVE!
For Roman Catholics around the world, YES, and for non-Catholic politicians seeking to curry favor with Catholic voters, but NOT for the rest of the world's religious and political leaders.
An image of the coat of arms of the new “POPE,” Leo XIV.
Question. Since the Lord Jesus Christ explicitly and categorically commanded: “AND CALL NO MAN YOUR FATHER ON THE EARTH: FOR ONE IS YOUR FATHER, EVEN HE WHO IS HEAVEN" (Matthew 23:9), with what justification does the supreme leader of the Roman Catholic Church, headquartered in the Vatican, call himself “POPE?” “POPE,” from the late Latin word “papa,” derived in turn from the Greek πάππας (“páppas”), meaning “FATHER.” Roman Catholics call him “the HOLY FATHER,” “Most Blessed FATHER,” or “Most Holy FATHER.” This is a public, blatant, and massive violation of the very clear commandment of “CHRIST,” the only legitimate “HEAD of the CHURCH.” Ephesians 5:23; Colossians 1:18
Question. Why does Pope Leo XIV NOT OBEY Christ’s command? Among some possible reasons:
Despite having studied in Catholic educational institutions from his childhood until obtaining a Doctorate in Canon Law in 1984, he never read Matthew 23:9.
Another possible reason. He may be so terrifically convinced that the Ecumenical Councils of the past and present have the divine authority to amend the original teachings of Christ and his personally chosen apostles, or simply to ignore them, substituting their own interpretations, that he unquestionably follows their decisions even though they patently contradict the original Sacred Writings of the New Testament Christ sealed with his own blood. Matthew 26:28
And still another. Raised in the bosom of Roman Catholicism and with his mind and spirit completely imbued since childhood with the traditions, dogmas and religious-social-political culture of said religion, he became a virtual SLAVE to IT to the point of not caring that its doctrines and practices are completely lacking in clear biblical support, a reality that the renowned Roman Catholic historian and theologian Hans Küng DID COME TO UNDERSTAND to a remarkable extent. Many of this man´s writings are available in English. For example, the large volume “The Church.” A list is included in the article on Hans Küng in Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_K%C3%BCng#English_translations
Question. Are Roman Catholic cathedrals the face of Pure Christianity? Click HERE for the biblical answer.
A SHORT STUDY on this PAGE
Will Planet Earth Continue Existing Eternally?
Only one KEY Bible verse is needed to understand and prove absolutely that IT WILL NOT. The verse is 2 CORINTHIANS 4:18.
“…while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the THINGS which ARE SEEN are TEMPORAL; but the THINGS which ARE NOT SEEN are ETERNAL.”
Since Planet Earth and the universe of which it is a part are "things" that can be "seen," they definitely “are TEMPORAL.” And, since they are temporal, they absolutely are not eternal!
Consequently, “the knowledge of his will [that of the Creator God] in all spiritual wisdom and understanding” (Colossians 1:9), demands that any religion, theology, or philosophy which asserts that they will continue existing eternally has to be classified as “WRONG, MISTAKEN, MISGUIDING” on a grand scale. For example, the relevant doctrines of the Jehovah’s Witnesses. In the light of this ONE KEY TEXT, just ONE, so simple and clear, all of their arguments affirming the "purification of this material Earth and its eternal existence as a new edenic paradise" fall apart and turn to gray dust, however convincing they might seem to minds not blessed with full “knowledge… spiritual wisdom and understanding.” Logic and common sense dictate that all relevant Bible texts relating to the duration of Planet Earth be interpreted in the light of this one, elementary key text.
Dear reader, do you see how easy it is to learn and understand the fundamental teachings of the pure gospel brought by Jesus Christ from God the Father for the salvation of the whole world? John 8:26-40. The “KEY” is to recognize the KEY TEXTS. The plain and simple ones. So clear and straightforward that their meaning cannot be missed, and will not be missed by the honest, unbiased seeker of Divine Truth. Who will not be so rash as to dismiss them, trash them, deny them, disobey them, allowing false interpretations and personal opinions to trump them.
The relevance of this subject for your life and mine? By accepting that “the things which are seen are temporal,” that is, that matter is not inherently eternal, an affirmation seconded by large numbers of astrologists, physicists, and other scientists, I confront, basically, two options.
The first: That I be RESIGNED to the end, the cessation, the death, sooner or later, of all that is visible, even of all matter, whatever its form may be, including “dark matter” and the smallest elements of atoms such as quarks and gluons. That I accept it, however reluctantly, as an inescapable reality but choose to believe that there are no consequences whatsoever for me after that definitive “END” of my physical life, that “END” of all things physical and material in the whole universe.
The second: That I accept that “all things which are seen are temporal” and also its counterpart: “the things which are not seen are eternal.” That I accept both affirmations as facts. That I think long and hard about the significance and consequences of those facts. That I proceed to procure the ETERNAL. A concept which, thankfully, I am able to understand and appreciate if I set my mind to it. A power that, in and of itself, signifies that I am more -much, much more- than just a physical, material animal!
My own investigations of the “Dimension of the Eternal” include the Bible, especially the New Testament, where I see “eternity,” “the eternal,” the “everlasting,” set forth as a marvelous, highly desirable, attainable state for every human being who seeks “glory, honor, and immortality.” This “state” of eternal existence in a new, powerful, glorious, spiritual body, in a perfect “NEW EARTH” of a celestial nature I find to be infinitely superior to that “state of eternal nothingness” after the death of the physical body, a sad "state" held to be the endless, empty fate of those humans who choose not to believe in the “eternal” of the "only true God," the Creator. John 17:3
I, then, have accepted this second option. What is your choice?
