>THEY WANT THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM.
This is about the false doctrine of Papal Supremacy; keys to the kingdom, the two swords - temporal and spiritual - the Pope being the rightful ruler of the world both spiritually and politically.

For all you anons who are playing with gnosticism / luciferianism / esotericism / any knowledge-based ism that you think will lead to some higher/better state, here is a warning. It is a true account.
Someone whom I know very well has had two NDE's and this is what she experienced.
When she was six years old she nearly drowned; she reached that place where she stopped struggling and experienced what she describes as the most blissful feeling of calm and all surrounding love and well-being. Then she was rescued from the water and given the kiss of life and brought back from near death. Her memory was of a blissful experience that she almost longed to return to. Remember - she was only six years old.
At the age of seventeen, she had a romantic disappointment involving the man she loved and her best friend that left her feeling her life wasn't worth living and it would be better for all if she were end it. She took a massive overdose of co-codamol. As she fell unconsciouos she had the most terrifying experience; hellish, demonic hands reached out to claim her as one of their own. They were exultant and all-consuming in their eagerness to take her. Instinctively she knew they had a right to her soul and she could not resist their claims. But she came from a Christian family and, terrified, she called out: "Jesus, please save me. I'm so sorry. I didn't know. Please, Lord, save me." As she cried out, a brilliant figure she knew was Jesus replaced the grasping, demonic hands, and the next she knew she was being violently sick. She lived to tell me the tale and it has changed her life. She knows that the first NDE when she was a child, was a foretaste of heaven, it was so blissful. Then she learnt that as an adult, heaven wasn't her automatic destination after death - she had made wrong choices. Mercifully, God gave her a second chance and as she repented, in her dying moments, Jesus gave her back her life and she has followed Him ever since.
Heaven is real. Hell is real. Jesus is real. He alone is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE and NO man comes to the Father, our Creator, except through Jesus. No amount of gnostic or esoteric knowledge will save you from God's justice - deserved punishment. But faith in the substitutionary atonement of Jesus for your wrongs will save you from God's justice.
I'm the source. Ypu can believe my account or not. Your choice. I'm talking about my daughter.
Yes. I am giving you a true account. How else do you suppose I should back that up? You either bellieve me or you don't. Your choice.
Help yourself, sir, and save yourself…
>Definitely a spiritual battleground around here. What could be more American?
Absolutely! Without God underpinning your rights as Americans, you have NONE. That's what you constitution states.
(Envious UK anon)
>Indeed. The Bill of Rights contains natural rights. The Founders made sure to make it clear that the government does not and cannot "give" people rights. It cannot take them away (from a law-abiding citizen). Whoa, what a novel concept.
As a UK anon I have spent years trying to explain to everyone with whom I have contact that any government granted bill of rights ain't worth the paper it's written on. I HATE all human rights declarations that are supposedely guaranteed by other humans (governments). The US constitution doesn't rely on government given rights, it relies on God given rights. But you Americans are missing the foundational beauty of your constitution if you fail to recognise your GOD given (not government given) rights.
>I is 30 today, keep my beautiful skin hair and nails in your prayers, i hear its all downhill from here 😊
That may be the case if you think your carcass of a body is the measure of your worth. On the other hand, you might begin to consider that there is an incremental value in ageing associated with the acquisition of virtue and wisdom. That is, if you don't end up like one of those plastic surgery monsters who like to pretend they're still nineteen when they're ninety.
