A total of 23 pre-Columbian stone plaques dating back over 550 years were discovered by archaeologists in front of the Great Temple of Tenochtitlan in Mexico City, with carvings illustrating Aztec myths including the birth of the god of war Huitzilopochtli.
The sculpted images are carved on slabs of tezontle (a volcanic rock) and feature depictions of serpents, captives and warriors. They also feature other figures relating to the mythological origins of Aztec civilization.
The stone carvings focus on the myths of Huitzilopochtli’s birth and the beginning of the Holy War. Raul Barrera from the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) said they had been “placed facing what was the centre of Huitzilopochtli worship and can be dated back to the fourth stage of the Great Temple’s construction (1440-1469)”.
The Aztecs were a warlike and deeply religious people who built numerous monumental works including the famous Templo Mayor in what is now Mexico City. They ruled an empire encompassing much of modern-day central Mexico until they were overthrown by the Spanish in 1521.....

Aztec Ping.
I find the pre-Columbian history of the Americas quite fascinating. I am particularly fascinated by the story of the Lady of Guadalupe, “Coatlaxopeuh (pronounced quatlashupe), meaning “the one who crushes the serpent.”
Her appearance in Mexico marked a major turning point in the religious history of the people.
“he will crush your head,
and you will strike his heel”
By their fruits you will know them...however...
I am very aware of this argument, but will not get into it as we are living in a time where ALL Christians must be united.
THAT unity is going to become even more crucial in the days ahead.
;-)
Sure they were deeply religious... as in “you gotta have heart.”
I believe we need to be cautious of “unity”, because it could very well be unity under the AC.
Already, those who are making biblical objections to pluralism and universalism are being called “divisive”.
Let the Word be your guide, and the Word IS “divisive”,
Heb 4:12 “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
Trust me...I am not referring to “unity at any cost.”
What I refer to is authentic unity in Christ. We need to be together in our stand against a VERY anti-Christ administration. The future of our nation is at stake as never before.
Always reminds me of the "Relayer" album.
20,000 human sacrifices in four days? Ohhhhh....so it was like Woodstock.
The uniting of Christians? Hmmm. The Prophetic Scriptures predict such a time. It occurs in the period of the Great Tribulation, and it occurs under the efforts of the Antichrist. Oh, actually, all the Christians have been removed from earth, and the uniting is of churches. Unholy, ungodly . . . churches.

This earlier war was just another fight for drug smuggling routes and narco supremacy between the southern cartel and the northern (alien) cartel.
There is nothing new under the Sun which is why we love and study history.
Studying the life and writings of Watchman Nee might give you a bit more discernment on that. The Christians of China, at one time, believed as do you.
Also, allow me to clarify what I said. I believe that it is crucial for Christians to take a united stand against this administration and other elements of this culture who are anti-Christian in their agenda. Obama is not THE anti-Christ.
These people were cannibals and Cortes brought it to an end. Thank God.
