End of the world. That happened in 2017 though. I think you missed it. It was all over FR then.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nibiru_cataclysm

In 2017, a conspiracy theorist and self-proclaimed “Christian numerologist” named David Meade revived the Nibiru cataclysm by tying it to various passages from the Bible.[27] Meade declared that these passages contained secret numerological codes, which revealed the exact date on which Nibiru would arrive.[26] He also based his predictions on the geometry of the Giza Pyramids.[25] Meade initially predicted that Nibiru would arrive in October 2017,[27] but he later revised the date back to 23 September.[

I believe that the grand finale of this period of the “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21) will occur in October 2024, when Nibiru, the planet that NASA discovered for the first time in 1983, will pass too close to our planet Earth.

You should probably put it a little farther out, so you don't have to explain why you're still here for the 2014 elections. Unless you have other plans.

2014 elections

Um, let’s make that 2024 elections. Don’t want to have to re-do 2014.

Back to the drawing board for you!

Boy, if we could defeat Francis and his minions by throwing paragraphs at them, these guys would have it nailed.

That does not preclude Mary as the path to the Gate. Remember, the faith Mary displayed at the Wedding of Cana, and her words “Do what ever He tells you.”

[Mr Rogers]

“That does not preclude Mary as the path to the Gate.”

What? You can’t find Jesus without Mary?

[Grey182]

This statement, no. Why Nibiru, when a couple of mountain-sized rocks and a great hail of much smaller rocks would do (though it would be pretty impressive). Also, many, myself included, believe this a is simply the dress-rehearsal for the main event. (Nothing firmly declares the False Prophet and the Antichrist have to be on earth at the same time.)

[Grey182]

Sure, you can, but why risk wandering off the path?

[JosephJames]

You can find articles on both sides of the argument about Nibiru. Do you really believe that the world elite are not in control of the Mass Media? I have read many articles about this in English and Italian. Nibiru entered into the zone where our Earth orbits about at the beginning of October 2017 and will leave our zone about at the beginning of October 2024. In 1983 only NASA had the equipment to discover and track Nibiru and the accompaning planets and Dark Star. But now it can be easily seen with much simpler telescopes. Did you read at least a little of the article refered to in the post?
“Signs of God vs. Signs of Satan”

If the Eucharist is only a symbol as most protestants believe, and by now most Catholics who have lost their faith, why did Jesus let these disciple go away. In fact Jesus was even willing to lose all of his Apostles so as to remain faithful to the divine truth that does not change and does not come from the wisdom of man, as you quoted: “So Jesus said to the twelve, “You do not want to go away also, do you?” (Jn 6:67).
The great majority of Catholic priests and bishops today are now doing as most Protestant pastors have done all along, to preach according to what the people want to hear, human respect before the truth. Very few pastors in this period of the “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21) when the Body of Christ, the Church, will be crucified (CCC 675-677), will be willing to follow Christ all the way to be humiliated and crucified by not compromising with the Truth of God, not the truth of the world.

Because of their unbelief in Him. It's easy to see IF you read the passage in context.

*****

In fact Jesus was even willing to lose all of his Apostles so as to remain faithful to the divine truth that does not change and does not come from the wisdom of man, as you quoted: “So Jesus said to the twelve, “You do not want to go away also, do you?” (Jn 6:67).

And what was the answer?

68Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life. 69“We have believed and have come to know that You are the Holy One of God.” John 6:68-69 NASB

*****

Peter didn't reply, "Lord, we've drunk your blood and eaten your flesh" did he?

No, he said they believed in Him. Faith in Christ.

Which is exactly the message Jesus was sharing with the Jews at the beginning of the Bread of Life Discourse.

*****

35Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.

36“But I said to you that you have seen Me, and yet do not believe.

37“All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out.

38“For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

39“This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day.

“For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.”

John 6:35-40 NASB

I've seen the show on Nibiru.

IF it's as big and as obvious as claimed we'd be able to see it both night and day.

IF it's able to be tracked with the simpler telescopes as you claim somebody would have posted the pictures by now.

Nibiru, like your blog site, is bogus.

[ealgeone]

That does not preclude Mary as the path to the Gate.

Good grief. Roman Catholics will believe anything regarding Mary.

IIRC, the Greek is emphatic in that only Jesus is the gate/door....no one else.

[Fiji Hill]

Never heard of that website or author, and I never heard of Niburu until I read your post. According to NASA, Niburu does not exist.

Incidentally, if there really is a new planet in our solar system, why wasn't it named for a Roman god as are all of the others besides Earth?

[JosephJames]

It is interesting that the discovery of this new planet was published in 1983, and then there was silence!

John 6:63 does not mean the "flesh of Jesus profits nothing"

Consistent with John's abundant contrast btwn flesh and spirit and of both realms, it means that the flesh of man does not profit as providing spiritual food - thus His words about Him no longer being present in the flesh - whereas the Spirit does.

And which is only confirmed in the rest of Scripture, in which nowhere is spiritual life obtained by literally consuming anything physical.

And instead, spiritual life is obtained by believing the gospel message, by believing in the person of Christ - as is esp. affirmed by John - while believers "live by" Christ the same way Christ lived by the Father. For His words they "are spirit and are life." (Jn. 6:63)

As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. (John 6:57) Which was by every word that come from God (Mt. 4:4) and thus doing His will was the Lord's "meat." (Jn. 4:34)

Nowhere in Acts through Revelation, which best shows how the NT church understood the gospels, is the Lord's supper set forth as means of obtaining spiritual life, nor is conducting it shown or taught as being a unique function of pastors, let alone a separate class of sacerdotal Catholic priests, offering up the "Mass" as a sacrifice for sins.

Instead, it is by believing the gospel that souls are regenerated, (Acts 15:7-9; Eph. 1:13) and it is the word of God that is described as spiritual food, by which believers are nourished (1Tim. 4:6) and built up (Acts 20:32) by the hearing of it. Thus the preaching of the word, which is called "milk" (1Cor. 3:2; 1Pt. 1:22) and "meat" (Heb. 5:12,14) to feed the flock (Acts 20:28) is the primary active function of pastors. (2Tim. 4:2)

Can you explain to me why "pagans" would want a prayer that commemorates the events in the life of Jesus?

Nowhere in Scripture do we see any believers engaging in prayer to created beings in Heaven (PTCBIH), or instructed to do so, despite the Spirit inspiring the recording of over 200 prayers by believers, and despite this being a most basic practice, and despite there always being plenty of created beings to pray to, and occasions for it since the Fall. Yet the only prayers or offerings in Scripture to anyone else in the spiritual world is by pagans, including to the only Queen of Heaven see therein. (Jeremiah 44:15-19)

As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the Lord, we will not hearken unto thee. But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes... (Jeremiah 44:16-17 (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/3739006/bible/jeremiah/44:16-17/))

And 1 Timothy 2:5 states that “For *there is* one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,” and by Him believers have “boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus. (Hebrews 10:19) Who is the all sufficient and immediate intercessor between God (the Father) and man. (Heb. 2:17 (http://biblia.com/bible/kjv1900/Heb.%202.17),18 (http://biblia.com/bible/kjv1900/Heb%202.18); 4:15 (http://biblia.com/bible/kjv1900/Heb%204.15),16 (http://biblia.com/bible/kjv1900/Heb%204.16)) To the glory of God Otherwise we would die if we tried to enter the holiest. (cf. Leviticus 16:2)

Moreover, 1 Corinthians 3:21 states, “Therefore let no man glory in men/mortals," and 1 Corinthians 4:6 states that ye might learn in us "not to think of men/mortals above that which is written.” Although this is in the context of sectarianism due to Corinthians elevating particular leaders above that which is written in Scripture, the principle applies to elevating Mary above that which is written.

Note that many Catholic Marian attributions much parallel even that of Christ

One would have a hard time in Bible times explaining kneeling before a statue and praising the entity it represented in the unseen world, beseeching such for Heavenly help, and making offerings to them, and giving glory and titles and ascribing supernatural attributes to such which are never given in Scripture to created beings (except to false gods), including having the uniquely Divine power glory to hear and respond to virtually infinite numbers of prayers individually addressed to them.

Moses, put down those rocks! I was only engaging in hyper dulia, not adoring her. Can't you tell the difference?

Which manner of "adulation" could constitute worship in Scripture , yet Catholics imagine that by playing word games then they can avoid crossing the invisible line between mere "veneration" and worship.

Although (technically) Mary is not to be worshiped in the same sense that God is worshiped, yet the distinctions between devotion to Mary and the worship of God are quite fine, and much due to the psychological appeal of a heavenly mother (especially among those for whom Scripture is not supreme), then the historical practice of Catholics has been to exalt Mary above that which is written. As the Catholic Encyclopedia states, "By the sixteenth century, as evidenced by the spiritual struggles of the Reformers, the image of Mary had largely eclipsed the centrality of Jesus Christ in the life of believers." (Robert C. Broderick, ed., The Catholic Encyclopedia, revised and updated; NY: Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1987, pp.32,33)

The practice of praying to departed saints and Mary was one that developed, helped by pagan influences.

(Robert C. Broderick, ed., The Catholic Encyclopedia, revised and updated; NY: Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1987, pp.32,33)

The Catholic Encyclopedia also speculates that a further reinforcement of Marian devotion,

was derived from the cult of the angels, which, while pre-Christian in its origin, was heartily embraced by the faithful of the sub-Apostolic age. It seems to have been only as a sequel of some such development that men turned to implore the intercession of the Blessed Virgin. This at least is the common opinion among scholars, though it would perhaps be dangerous to speak too positively. Evidence regarding the popular practice of the early centuries is almost entirely lacking...,” (Catholic Encyclopedia > Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary)
