Message 1291335 - Posted: 4 Oct 2012, 18:48:11 UTC - in response to Message 1291230.  

The Lord God is my Shepherd, and he leads me through the the valley of darkness. He leads me into the light, the beautiful light in the beautiful garden that awaits humanity. I asked the Lord my God for help, and he answered. He was good enough to let me peek inside the gates of heaven, where i looked and saw the beautiful wonders that God had prepared for all humanity, but only those who choose God's way and God's law will see the garden. God let me see the wonders in Heaven, and it was beautiful, and the garden was full of love, love was everywhere in the garden. It was full of God's love for humanity. For a short time, i have stepped back from the gates of Heaven so that i can tell other people about what i saw in God's garden, the garden of Eden. Some will believe, and some will never see it.

Johnney, a piece of advice as a friend, if you want belief and credence on these boards then you really must stop posting stuff like the above. It is like pulpit preaching on a Sunday in church, and will not cut ice here, or enhance your credibility. It may be your personal belief, but unless you are a lay preacher whose job it is to covert the unbelievers, I would drop it and keep it to yourself.

You say you have found this old book, that you insist is NOT the bible, and that you are in the process of deciphering it. You say that you are doing this upon a scientific basis, and that you have scientific proof about certain things that you say no-one else has found. You go on to say that you don't want to go public in case someone else pinches your ideas and makes money whilst you don't.

If you were really into educating mankind, financial reward would be secondary to the satisfaction of enlightening and teaching people maybe the error of their ways. You keep saying that one day you will publish your findings, but according to you that could be in 5 or 10 or 15 years time, so no-one is encouraged to take you seriously. And why should they? All they have is your word for it, and why should they believe you above anyone else?

My advice is to register with a solicitor the research and findings that you so far have, so that your claim is on record. Then I think you need to tell us what this book is, and let us judge it for ourselves. How likely is it by your posts that anyone else would come to the same conclusions that you have? How likely is it that someone will say, oh look I can make some cash on the back of his work? If this book is freely available as you have claimed, then anyone in the world had the freedom to do what you claim you have done.

You are already aware that I share your belief about ET vists about 14,000-11,000 BC, but that is a different matter to the original quote above and this book. They are all three separate matters, and if you try to combine them, then you dilute them, which will not help you. No-one doubts your sincere commitment to what you feel you genuinely believe, but you are not helping your cause by the current way that you deal with it. Take this as friendly comment OK?

Chris,
I can't keep it to myself, i'm not able. I have to talk about whats after happening to me. I have to say it to someone.

If i actually opened up completely, and told everyone here the full complete story of what happened to me in the last 2 years, then you really would think i was a lunatic. The truth is totally and utterly shocking. The truth is so shocking that i struggle to believe it myself. So Chris i don't tell ye the truth here on these boards. I give ye a poetic coded version of the truth.

Never in my wildest dreams would i have ever thought that any of the stuff in the Bible was real. I'm a hard core skeptic. The Bible is like an Arthur C. Clarke science fiction novel. The stuff in the Bible is wild nonsense and the vast majority of the Bible is coded in poetry that even the priests can't decipher.

But i have it, all of it. Or at least i have a large chunk of the story. The Bible finishes its last book by saying that it will end. The Bible says that the work of the church will end. And that is what we see today. Nobody believes the Bible any more. Nobody trusts the bible any more. Even the Vatican have started making press statements in the last few years that completely contradict what the Bible says. Its like the Bible, and all its stories just can't be trusted anymore. But the funny thing is, the bible itself predicts this just before the end of Humanity.

Its science! Science is the Beast in book of revelation. Its science that is ending religion. Science is stripping religion nakid in the streets and science is leaving religion dead. But only just at the very end, when we have all the rules of science, that it will then become apparent that its was scientists that actually wrote the bible. Human scientists who discovered genetic engineering and modified their own genes to make them immortal. Its utterly shocking. And i have the final chapter of the book. I have the key that ends the whole thing. And if i don't publish it, someone else will discover what i discovered and they will publish it. So its not that i'm special, cos i'm not. Its just that i discovered the "old book" first.

John.

I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ...

Chris,

Martin,
Be truthful with me for once! Do you believe any of the stuff i posted on these boards in the last year and a half?

Don't make a laugh of the question. Answer it seriously. Have i made it all up Martin? Or do you think i really have something?

You certainly have 'something', and that 'something' could well make a good book. There's certainly enough material there and there are in there the germs of various 'fun' ideas. That all could make for a very good story. Hope you're keeping structured notes to put together a few chapters!

However, a story is not 'science'. If you have repeatable and understandable evidence that will survive scrutiny, then great! Otherwise, you still have a good story.

And then also... You can run a long run on the narrative... ;-)


Still some good fun intrigue! :-)

Keep searchin',

Im afraid I dont have it with out the time travel bit. Ok lets try this. Some where in space a human race evolved. They found genetics and made themselves immortal. So they set out in space on a voyage of discovery. Found our pretty blue planet and some form of advanced great ape.
Here is where I get lost. According to the recent studies by anthropologists the modern human genome goes back 90 to 100,000 years. I could understand if you had stated they worked us up from Lucy but that is way past 6,000 years ago. I could even buy working up Neanderthal man but only early in his existance. As we modern humans coexisted with Neanderthal for many thousands of years.

To paraphrase Bud Abbot and Lou Costello, I got it but dont know what I got.

OK, let's say that this is correct. With all the discoveries made over the past several hundred years, how is it that no trace of those "immortals" have ever been found?

Surely they would have become far superior to those that were living at that time & would have at least, built their own community & all that entails - So, where are the traces?

Chris,

I'm glad you made that clear John, you have always stated that, but it seemed to be a bit different in a recent post about Revelations. OK, as we were!


Chris,
I did tell you clearly that the Bible is NOT what i am describing as the "old book". The work i am doing is on an "old book" or "old books". I have used this term a lot. But to be clear, there is more than one of these "old books". There are many of these "old books", but the reason i usually say "old book", singular, is that most of my work has focused on just one of them. I have focused on one in particular because its in very good condition, its still readable, to an extent. Its the easiest one to attempt to decode. Some of the other "books" are damaged, to varying different degrees.

The reason that i also discuss the Christian Bible is that the "old books" that i am researching are discussed the whole way through the Christian Bible. The Bible discusses these "old books" in great detail. In fact it mentions them many many times, from the Book of Genesis through to the Book of Revelation. The Bible specifically says that God himself wrote these books. Sometimes the Bible describes these old books as "scrolls", and sometimes the Bible specifically says that the scrolls are "written on both sides".

Chris this is the biggest tip i'm every going to give you - Read the Bible Book of Revelation 4 and 5. It specifically talks about "scrolls" or "books" that God wrote, himself, in person, in ancient history, that are about to be opened. As the "books" are opened, specific events in human history that were foretold in advance, start to happen. Well Chris, these are the "old books" that i have. I have these "books" or "scrolls". Chris i'm the one who openes the books, or maybe i didn't open them, but i'm going to read out their content to the whole world. Do you understand what's happening? Do you understand what i'm doing?

Yep, its going to be a good story alright, to say the very least. The story of the history of mankind. I have plenty of notes.

Well, there are certain things that some people consider as traces, (i.e. several figures that resemble astronauts in ancient ruins, portrayed in similar ways on distant and theoretically unconnected civilzations, and things like that).
I agree that those things are not conclusive, and they can be just the product of an ancient scifi "writter" that turn to be a "best seller" and then spreaded all over the word... But anyway, the fact that we have not found conclusive evidence of something doesnt imply that something doesn't exist...

And what evidence you can find of a space ship that was in orbit several centuries ago and shooted an "alter gen ray" to some selected specimens?
Probably nothing with our current tools...
I know, I know, to much imagination, too low probabilities, and whatnot... but...

James Sotherden,
You have it correct James. What is tripping you up is evolution. Evolution does NOT happen under any circumstances. The world science community are FORCED for reject the Bible because it makes no sense what-so-ever. But the human scientists that created us thousands of years ago knew this would happen.

And because aliens are NOT landing on the lawn of the white house, science if forced to aggressively adapt the next best and most realistic scenario that can fit the bill. That theory is Evolution. But it does not mean it happened. And in reality, creatures don't evolve.

But creatures DO CHANGE with time, and we get "diversity" and "hybridisation". A geneticist engineers two Finches (Birds) in a text tube and incubates the creatures. But he does NOT make them the same. He make the two Finches a bit different. When the Finches have babies (1st generation), they will be a "mix" of the two sets of chromosomes from the mother and the father. Then these Finch children again have their own babies (2nd generation). And again, the new babies will have a "mix" of chromosomes from the mother and the father. Some genes being more dominant that others. Now keep doing this for hundreds of generation of Finches and you will get what looks like different breeds of the same species of Bird. In effect, to the observer who does not understand genetics, it might looks like the creatures are evolving. But they are not.

And the same thing happens with all the creatures. If they have the same number of chromosomes, they can interbreed and you get thousands of varieties of each species.

Sirius B,
We have found traces, everywhere! They have always been with us. And yes, they were, and are, far Superior to us! But now that we are learning that war solves nothing and science can improve our lives, we are catching up with them. They knew this would happen, and they wanted this to happen! They wrote the Bible! They are the Prophets and Saints in the Bible. And they will all be cloned and brought back to life and they WILL govern the whole world in one single world government from the New Jerusalem. Every single country on earth will take direct orders from this new single world government, with the Messiah as King of all Kings, Lord of Lords! Just like it says in the bible. There will be no more war, only peace and love between peoples, races, languages and nations.

So who are these Gods?

We all know them very well. But the "history" buffins who write the history books don't believe the stories because they don't understand that you can clone someone and that person is "re-born". So the history books describe these people as "mythological". But truth is, they were as real as you and me.

They were;
The Pharaohs
The Greek Gods
The Inca's
The Mayans
Many of the Prophets and Saints in the Bible.

And a variety of other incredible civilisations that built some of the most monumental stone structures in human history. Typically, if they were building pyramids, they were scientists. Some of them were half-breeds, and they were mortal, and we have their dead body today, like the Pharaoh's. The Immortals have left, or are hiding in plane site in places you would never think to look. Example; Monks in Monasteries.

Definitely it is easier to believe in evolution than it is believing in the Bible.

Clearly, the previous comment is in error, as 150-160 years later, people are still arguing against evolution and so many believe The Bible. Or, before I chose agnosticism, I was willing to accept evolution as one of God's mechanisms.

I think that you all need to journey out to infinity and see if the "Last" number in the 1/3 expansion is a three or not. Perhaps it will be a 4 every now and again. While you are there tell me what the smallest number is that is beyond the last and largest real number ?? They do exist since there are hyper-reals smaller than any real number but greater than zero and I can take the reciprocal of these numbers.

Sirius B,
They live on a planet that orbits another star, not our Sun. A star that is close to us. In all probability, its one of the stars you can see in the night sky without any binoculars or telescope. But no, i don't know which one. And i'm not willing to speculate.

I invited you into another thread there a while ago. I was being nice to you, i was trying to help you understand something that is very complex. Bobby you went into that thread and you cut your own throat. You have done this to me more than once now.
