...keeping tabs on the unholy church....

 It takes years of distorted and deceptive mind-conditioning by the unholy church for unsuspecting adherents to reach this frenzied level. However they must be perceived as mere victims and NOT the perpetrators.

Those opportunistic, self-serving culprits have now taken possession of the said glass-panes to see how much more monetary-mileage they can garner from this, (if they haven't already) in the guise of verifying it's authenticity.

Besides her son Yeshua (Jesus), Maryam (Mary) too needs to be saved from the unholy, Paulinist church whose fervent wish and main objective since time immemorial has always been to have a miraculous manifestation happen on their church grounds to serve as the perfect milking-cow to sustain those fat-cat jobless 'gooks' (priests, pastors, bishops, cardinals and the mother of all deceivers, the Unholy Father) who continue, with impunity, to take unsuspecting adherents for a right royal ride around the proverbial block.

Anyone with a keen interest in this supposed phenomenon should seriously monitor the situation with a microscope to see what becomes of the glass-panes in question, lest it becomes a repeat of the 'Shroud Of Turin' episode.

Will the church in question decide to display it in the hope of drawing worldwide attention to itself, not forgetting the much-anticipated funds or will they write it off with a blunt 'NO' as what they did at another

church when it's adherents reported a similar incident.

reports of 'Jesus' sightings

Jewish Maryam or European Mary ?

 99% of  of pictures and images of the Virgin Mary,
Yeshua (Jesus) and other Christian saints/Biblical figures
are basically derived from renaissance-inspired
paintings and drawings as paper did not exist
2000 years ago and hence none could have
known how or what they looked like.

Based on data derived from bone fragments,
Israelis/Jews were a far cry from those
 culturally-interpreted European images
which people are commonly accustomed
to seeing.

So, pray tell, how could that same
European-inspired, iconic image
of the Virgin Mary be  transposed
upon a glass-pane in a local hospital?

But then again, it does make sense
since she could not appear to those
who are accustomed to her European-inspired
image, to appear as a Jewish woman.

It also makes sense that she appeared outside 

church grounds since as she would love

to be accepted as a universal figure rather
than the monopoly of that questionable
institution known as the Catholic Church.

It would make even more sense if she was
seen as weeping since the hospital plans
to send her (the glass-panes) to THAT 

institution (the Catholic church).

Personally I'd bet my last RM2
that the apparition will vanish for good
once the church 'takes jurisdiction of her'
(the glass panes) because the church is
last place she would want to be
to radiate her presence.

Speaking of apparitions, one wonders whatever
happened to the one that created a ruckus
at the Lady Of Good Health, not too
long ago, which the 'gook-in-residence',
Wiley Willie hastily removed with
no explanation at all. Fishy! fishy!.

Wiley Willie's Lectern Caper

Coming back to the original story,
the authorities would be urged
to closely monitor the situation to see
if there is any monetary exploitation
by the said church or churches in question.

Finally, for God-sakes, Maryam

is NOT THE MOTHER OF GOD

as the unholy church would have us believe.

She is the Mother of Yeshua/Isa/Jesus

sent by God to bring the good news

to the Gentiles and reaffirm the laws

handed to Moses which Yeshua himself

followed to the letter.

Amen.

Little Benedict wants to tweet...

 Associated Press reports .........

VATICAN CITY (AP) — He already has a billion followers.

Now, Pope Benedict XVI will join the Twitter-sphere, tweeting from a personal account along with the world's celebrities, leaders and ordinary folk.

Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi made the announcement Thursday, saying details about Benedict's handle and other information will come when the Vatican officially launches the account, perhaps before the end of the year.

The 85-year-old Benedict sent his first tweet from a Vatican account last year when he launched the Vatican's news information portal, aimed at the world's 1.1 billion Catholics. The new Twitter account will be his own, though it's doubtful Benedict himself will wrestle down his encyclicals, apostolic exhortations and other papal pronouncements into 140-character bites.

Benedict, who writes longhand and doesn't normally use a computer, will more likely sign off on tweets written in his name.

(blogger's comment:  well at least we can ask the bugger direct why he shields rogue priests who get away with pedophilia, ruining the lives of countless young whose voices will never be heard.

After requesting custom-designed little red shoes to cover his hoofed feet and personalized fragrance to hide his body-ordour, what next! Papal G-string undies?? )

Adherents need to save the Reality-Jesus from the Fallacious-Christ of the unholy church !!!.

  excerpt from 'Different Spirit'

 What did Jesus look like?

People have a funny idea of what Jesus looked like. Jesus of Nazareth was not white-skinned. Jesus was not European. Jesus was a Jew. Jesus lived in the land of Israel, in the Middle East. The Bible tells us that Jesus walked wherever He went, so we can easily imagine that His olive skin would have been darkened by the sun.

Jesus would not have had a neat, trimmed beard, because a command (Leviticus 19:27) in the Law of Moses , which the Bible says Jesus observed, required Jewish males to “not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard.”

Hundreds of years after Jesus’ life on earth, Renaissance artists painted pictures that made Jesus look handsome. They were not accurate representations of Jesus’ likeness. The painters were following Italian traditions and the culture of Europe, rather than what the Bible says, and they certainly had never met Jesus. Sadly, their artworks continue to influence thinking to this day.

The only verse in the Bible about Jesus’ physical form, before His death and resurrection, is found in Isaiah 53:2. It says:

“He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to Him,
nothing in His appearance that we should desire Him.”

In other words, the only biblical description of Jesus during His time on earth says that He was not physically attractive.

Beauty, in God’s eyes, comes from within [1 Samuel 16:7b, 1 Peter 3:3-4].
On the other hand, in contrast to the horned cartoon character that we are accustomed to seeing, the Bible tells us that the devil is handsome [Ezekiel 28:14-17] and he portrays himself as being full of goodness [2 Corinthians 11:14-15].

The gospel rings true in my heart because it is the opposite of the way man normally thinks.
What man would have conceived a philosophy where salvation would come through believing that God would come to earth as a helpless baby, born in a stinking stable, a peasant among a despised, subjugated people in an obscure land, and would later be nailed up to die like the worst of criminals.
The natural mind is more attracted to youth and beauty, success and acclaim.
But, God’s thoughts are the opposite of man’s thoughts [Isaiah 55:8-9].

Of course, in one sense, it hardly matters what Jesus looked like. It is what He accomplished for us on the cross of Calvary – in paying the price for our sins – that truly counts.

However, it certainly goes to show that there is much to do with Christian belief and living that is influenced more by tradition, and even by the culture and ways of thinking surrounding us, than by what the Bible actually says.

Many Bible truths are confronting. They challenge our normal patterns of thought. However, God, in His perfect wisdom, presents us with Truth – not to tickle our ears but to work for our ultimate good.

In remote Mexican villages, many abandon Catholicism Citing intolerance, some 'outcasts' join Protestants

Excerpt from the Baltimore Sun

 

November 01, 1992|By Ginger Thompson | Ginger Thompson,Staff Writer

SAN CRISTOBAL DE LAS CASAS, Mexico -- Salvador Lope ## might have been bitterly confused when the Mexican government recently revoked century-old bans against the Catholic Church here in the name of religious tolerance.
The bans -- instituted to punish the church for its alliance with Spain before the revolution -- have not been enforced for decades. And in this remote mountainous region at the southern edge of Mexico, it's the Catholics who have been brutally intolerant.

"One day, I got a knock at the door," Mr. Lopez, a 35-year-old father of two, recalled, sitting at a rickety wood table in his cramped and dusty two-room shack. "About 20 people came into my house, beat me and then took me to jail. They told me that I had to renounce my faith and come back to the Catholic Church.

"I said no," he added, pounding his fist on the table. "They hit me some more and told me if I didn't leave, they would kill me and my family. My daughter was only 8 days old.
"I left."

Salvador Lopez is an "expulsado" -- an outcast, along with thousands of others from around his nearby native village of San Juan Chamula who have left the Roman Catholic Church to become Protestants.
He was attracted by the very Protestant evangelists whom Pope John Paul II referred to as "rapacious wolves" in an address to Latin American bishops a couple of weeks ago in the Dominican Republic.
But the Catholics of San Juan Chamula needed no incitement from the pope. They had long had their own way of dealing with what the pontiff referred to as "the pseudospiritual movements . . . whose aggressiveness and expansion must be faced."
"Belt of misery"

Over the past 15 years, more than 15,000 others from villages around San Juan Chamula have abandoned the Catholic faith. Some of the men were beaten or incarcerated without arrest warrants. Some of the women were raped. All had homes and belongings confiscated.

These "expulsados" now live in what is called "El Cinturon de Miseria" -- the belt of misery. It is a collection of ramshackle tin huts on the outskirts of San Cristobal de las Casas, a town of flat adobe structures inhabited predominantly by people of Mayan Indian descent.

The expulsados were once farmers in San Juan Chamula who worked plots of land and grew enough corn, beans and fruit to feed their families and to sell at local markets. Now each family lives on about $5 a day, selling everything from wool ponchos to intricately sewn tapestries to packets of chewing gum. Or they wander the streets, looking for odd jobs.

Their plight is shared by more and more people throughout Latin America as Protestant sects, generally with roots in the United States, continue to win converts. Demographers say the Protestant groups have converted 18 percent to 21 percent of the population in Brazil; 20 percent of Salvadorans; 18 percent to percent of Guatemalans, including the country's president; and 16 percent in Chile.

Although statistics from the most recent Mexican census show that about 90 percent of the country's 81 million residents are Catholic, researchers say most are not active participants, staunch believers or regular contributors to the Catholic Church. Protestant leaders claim 12 million followers in Mexico, and though some keep their faith a secret out of fear of repression, most are enthusiastically active in their churches.

The rapid growth of Protestant sects in Latin America was a main topic of discussion among Latin American bishops when they met with the pope last month in Santo Domingo.

"Like the Good Shepherd," he told them, "you are to feed the flock entrusted to you and defend it from rapacious wolves.

But the pope might have had places like San Juan Chamula in mind when he warned that "poor and simple people" turning to other religions are "looking for a religious meaning to life that they perhaps do not find in those who should be abundant examples of it."

The appeal of Protestantism

It is not only the difference in the way Protestants interpret the Bible that provokes the wrath of Catholics in rural Latin American villages. Protestantism disrupts the long-held cultural, economic and political traditions of poor villages. Those who refuse to see these traditions die fight back, sometimes ruthlessly.

Since the mid-1960s, Mormons, Pentecostals and Jehovah's Witnesses have gone door-to-door in this state's impoverished villages, encouraging followers to be more independent. The ministers teach people to read and solve basic math problems, how to grow healthier crops and how to get better prices for their produce at markets.

They have also persuaded many followers to stop drinking posh, a potent corn-based liquor that is an essential part of the Chamulans' ceremonies.

Meanwhile, the Catholic Church is increasingly seen as a monolith more concerned about its own prosperity and political clout than about the miserable living conditions of most of its followers.
