The cure for suffering… Part Five The Golden Secret NONSENSE AS SALVATION The human race will begin solving it’s problems on the day that it ceases taking itself so seriously. To that end, POEE proposes the countergame of NONSENSE AS SALVATION. Salvation from an ugly and barbarous existence that is the result of taking order so seriously and so seriously fearing contrary orders and disorder, that GAMES are taken as more important than LIFE; rather than taking LIFE AS THE ART OF PLAYING GAMES. To this end, we propose that man develop his innate love for disorder, and play with The Goddess Eris. And know that it is a joyful play, and that thereby CAN BE REVOKED THE CURSE OF GREYFACE. If you can master nonsense as well as you have already learned to master sense, then each will expose the other for what it is: absurdity. From that moment of illumination, a man begins to be free regardless of his surroundings. He becomes free to play order games and change them at will. He becomes free to play disorder games just for the hell of it. He becomes free to play neither or both. And as the master of his own games, he plays without fear, and therefore without frustration, and therefore with good will in his soul and love in his being. And when men become free then mankind will be free. May you be free of The Curse of Greyface. May the Goddess put twinkles in your eyes. May you have the knowledge of a sage, and the wisdom of a child. Hail Eris. — Yohan the Lost House of the Crooked Path Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!

Respectfully, I do not think it is God the Holy Spirit Who is communicating with you. "Sessions with" a spirit entity sounds a lot like New Age kind of stuff. If that is what it is, it has no place on the Roman Catholic newsgroup. The answer to "why do we suffer," has already been explained by God the Holy Spirit. The idea that without suffering there is no God, is nonsense, which is why I say to you that I do not think it is God the Holy Spirit who is communicating with you. In Heaven, there is no suffering, at all, of any kind. Thus, since God is the God of Heaven, that would contradict the answer you have received. So, please seek the answer from the real God, instead of trying to channel it out of spirits.

Dear Joseph and my Fellowmen, Respectfully, I do not think it is God the Holy Spirit Who is communicating with you. "Sessions with" a spirit entity sounds a lot like New Age kind of stuff. If that is what it is, it has no place on the Roman Catholic newsgroup.
I understand the wariness of the Roman Catholics about spirits. Are all spirits evil? No, they are not. Is the Holy Spirit evil? Of course, not. The Holy Spirit is a spirit. We do not see Him since He is a spirit. But He is not an evil spirit. In 1 John 4:1-3, we are taught by John how to discern if a spirit is a true spirit or a false spirit. Verse 2 from the Good News Bible states: "This is how you will be able to know whether it is God’s spirit: anyone who acknowledges that Jesus Christ came as a human being has the Spirit who comes from God. But anyone who denies this about Jesus does not have the Spirit from God. The spirit that he has is from the Enemy of Christ." The angels Gabriel and Michael mentioned in the Bible, are they evil spirits? Of course, they are not. I assure you that the spirit we talk to is a holy spirit. Actually, we believe that He is THE Holy Spirit. Please scrutinize His messages, prayers, prophecies and messages in my website. Then report in the newsgroup your evaluation. The answer to "why do we suffer," has already been explained by God the Holy Spirit.
Please tell us His explanation. I am interested to know it. The idea that without suffering there is no God, is nonsense, which is why I say to you that I do not think it is God the Holy Spirit who is communicating with you.
Please elaborate why this is nonsense. Please read my reply to MAN on this subject. I shared there what the Holy Spirit told us about sufferings. In Heaven, there is no suffering, at all, of any kind. Thus, since God is the God of Heaven, that would contradict the answer you have received.
I agree with you that in Heaven, there is no more sufferings. The Holy Spirit explained to us why this is so. He even taught us a poem which we sing. Again, please read my reply to MAN. It includes part of the poem. Here on earth, we will encounter numerous kinds of sufferings. That is why we need God. That is why there is God who we can cry out to. We have to cry out to Him in the midst of our sufferings. We need Him. So, please seek the answer from the real God, instead of trying to channel it out of spirits.
Jesus said in John chapters 14, 15 and 16 that He would send the Holy Spirit. He is here with us now speaking loud and clear. He is doing what Jesus said He would do: reveal to us truth about God, tell us what will take place (to prophesy), will give glory to Jesus, speak about Jesus, lead us into all the truth, make us remember all that Jesus have told His apostles, etc. I invite you to scrutinize what He said which I put in my website and please determine if He is truly the Holy Spirit. What I have in my website are just some of what I heard and learned from Him. There are still a lot that I have to transcribe and translate so that you will know His messages. I just don’t have the time since I still have to work during the day. God bless us always.

Dear MAN and my Fellowmen, You said: We may need god because we suffer but i’ll believe in him when I suffer no more.
You will suffer no more IF you enter the kingdom of God in Heaven. Here on earth, we will suffer. It is a part of life. There are many instances when we suffer. We suffer from the death of a loved one. We suffer from the inhumanity of our fellowmen to us. We suffer when we lose our job or in dire financial difficulties. Jesus demonstrated to us how to bear sufferings. He is our model who showed us how to handle sufferings. While Jesus was nailed on the cross, who did He cry out to in the midst of His sufferings? To God the Father in Heaven! He said, "Father, do not forsake Me." This was explained to us by the Holy Spirit in His sermon found in my website below. It is topic 14 of "Postings in Religious Newsgroups" and is entitled "Father, do not forsake Me." Please have a read of the message of the Holy Spirit Himself. It is just less than half a page long. This world, according to the Holy Spirit, is like a sieve, a strainer. God is straining us, sifting us. Those who bear sufferings, and who hang on to God and cling to Him until the end, will be rewarded with their admission to Heaven in the afterlife. The Holy Spirit taught us a poem in Filipino language which we sing also. A part of that poem is as follows: "Sa dulo ng hirap, ginhawa ay kakamtan kung tayo’y magtitiis sa mundong ibabaw. Atin ngang mararating ang kaluwalhatian at sa piling ng Diyos, kay tamis mabuhay." Its translation to English is: At the end of sufferings, relief (comfort, peace of mind, delight, contentment) will be attained if we bear (the sufferings) here on earth. Eventually, we will reach Heaven . How sweet it will be to live with God." So what is the reward of sufferings if we are able to bear them? Relief and life with God in Heaven in the afterlife. That is why we have to seek God, ask God, to help us in midst of our sufferings. We cry out to Him and He is always ready to help us. What He wants always for us is for our joy to be full. God bless us always. In Christ, with love, Aristeo Canlas Fernando, Peace Crusader http://www.geocities.com/peacecrusader888/ "If you have ears, then, listen to what the Spirit says to the churches!"

Dear Dhadhathi and my Fellowmen, Here, Jesus said "to all peoples everywhere". Not only the Israelites. That is why, if only all peoples of the world will accept Jesus as their savior and God and will obey His commandments, we would achieve peace in this world. Jesus teaches us to love one another. LOVE. Do other religions teach and emphasize the same? And Jesus, since He is God Himself, is showing us the way how to get into His kingdom. We are all invited.
"The Akum (non-Jew) is like a dog. Yes, the scripture says to honor the dog more than the non-Jew." TALMUD:Ereget Raschi Erod, 22 30 "If you eat with a non-Jew it is the same as eating with a dog." TALMUD: Tosapoth, Jebamoth 94b 5:21 After going out of that place, Jesus went to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 15:22 A20 Canaanite woman from that area came21 and cried out,22 "Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is horribly demon-possessed!" 15:23 But he did not answer her a word. Then23 his disciples came24 and begged him,25 "Send her away, because she keeps on crying out after us." 15:24 So26 he answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." 15:25 But she came27 and bowed down28 before him and said,29 "Lord, help me!" 15:26 "It is not right30 to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs,"31 he said.32 15:27 "Yes, Lord," she said, "but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table." 15:28 Then33 Jesus answered her, "Woman, your faith is great! Let what you want be done for you." And her daughter was healed from that hour. "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you." (Matthew 7:6 KJV Remember, to the Jews, dogs were unclean animals. And Jesus was a jew. Under that circumstances, would a GOD call anybody a dog? Christianity as you practice is a delutional dream of Paul. Paul claimed the Jesus told him to go to the gentiles. Till his death, he never claimed to speak to all the people. (people as you understand is different from what Jesus understood. As per jewish law, the nonjews are not humans) Jesus talked about the jews dispersed all over the world by the successive invasions of israel by the invaders. That is what he means by nations (aka tribes of Israel). It is a twist of paul and later christians to mean all the people. I dont care whether you live in your paulian dream called christianity or not. There are lot of deluded people in the world. Before you buy.

From the Good News Bible, this is what Matthew 10 verse 5 until verse 8 states: (I am citing not only verse 5 to know more the context of what Jesus commanded His disciples.) These twelve men were sent out by Jesus with the following instructions: "Do not go to any Gentile territory or any Samaritan towns. Instead, you are to go to those lost sheep, the people of Israel. Go and preach, "The Kingdom of heaven is near! Heal the sick, bring the dead back to life, heal those who suffer from dreaded skin-diseases, and drive out demons." Jesus’ instruction to them was logical. His ministry was just beginning so those around were the first to be ministered–the people of Israel who according to Jesus, are the lost sheep. In addition, there were only 12 of them, so few to venture to faraway places. In Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus said to them (there were many of them at this time): "I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Go, then, to all peoples everywhere and make them my disciples: baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. And I will be with you always, to the end of the age." Here, Jesus said "to all peoples everywhere". Not only the Israelites. That is why, if only all peoples of the world will accept Jesus as their savior and God and will obey His commandments, we would achieve peace in this world. Jesus teaches us to love one another. LOVE. Do other religions teach and emphasize the same? And Jesus, since He is God Himself, is showing us the way how to get into His kingdom. We are all invited. Let us not continue wearing the trousers (religion) that our parents gave us when we were still small. (This is from a parable of the Holy Spirit to us). They may not be comfortable anymore. Now that we are old enough and mature enough, let us use our intellect, our understanding, to search the truth. Let us decide for ourselves who and what to believe. It is our soul that is at stake. This soul will live forever either in Heaven or in Hell. So we should make a careful decision ourselves. God bless us always.

Why also the Vatican has changed the meaning of the third secret? "When will happen these things?" "When will be finished the strength of the saint people" Prophet Daniel thousands of years ago.
If you would like to read the recent prophecies of the Holy Spirit, please visit my website below. Those prophecies were revealed on October 19, 1979. You may check yourself if those prophecies have already happened. One of the prophecies is AIDS which the Holy Spirit named GOTACURAL–an incurable disease which would spread in epidemic proportion all over the world and which specialists of the medical profession will not find a cure. Another is violent weather. Still another is about nameless diseases, which we now hear like Mad Cow Disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Gulf War Syndrome, Ebola virus, etc. Do you believe that the prophecies of Daniel thousands of years ago apply to our time now? Or have they happened? Or will happen hundreds of years from now yet? We are not sure when they will happen. On the other hand, the recent prophecies of the Holy Spirit are for today. They occurred soon after He revealed them. So who will you listen to? John 16:13 tells us that the Holy Spirit "will tell us of things to come". This means to prophesy. Be glad that He is here with us and warning us so that we become prepared when the prophecies are fulfilled. We will not become shocked and startled. Thank you, Baruzzo, for your reply.

by Ralph Nielsen I tell you the truth, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom (Matthew 16:28). Truly, I tell you, this generation will not pass away before all these things have taken place (Matthew 24:34; Mark 13:30). So also, when you see these things happening: know that the kingdom of God is near. In truth I tell you, before this generation has passed away all will have taken place (Luke 21:31-32). For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have died. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will be with the Lord forever (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17). I am coming soon! I am indeed coming soon! (Revelation 22:12, 20). The Gospel of Mark was written around the year 71, Matthew around 80, and Luke around the year 90. The apostle Paul wrote his first letter to the Thessalonians – in Greece – around the year 50. Revelation was written around the year 90. This article was first typed in the year 1995, almost 2,000 years after Jesus and Paul made these promises. So, according to the Bible, they were both false prophets. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Dear Dhadhathi and my Fellowmen, I tell you why, because christians do not listen to Jesus. ** These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not – Matthew 10:5 *** Christians are the source of all problems and thus misery of the world. ** From the Good News Bible, this is what Matthew 10 verse 5 until verse 8 states: (I am citing not only verse 5 to know more the context of what Jesus commanded His disciples.)

In Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus said to them (there were many of them at this time): "I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Go, then, to all peoples everywhere and make them my disciples: baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. And I will be with you always, to the end of the age." Here, Jesus said "to all peoples everywhere". Not only the Israelites. That is why, if only all peoples of the world will accept Jesus as their savior and God and will obey His commandments, we would achieve peace in this world. Jesus teaches us to love one another. LOVE. Do other religions teach and emphasize the same? And Jesus, since He is God Himself, is showing us the way how to get into His kingdom. We are all invited. Let us not continue wearing the trousers (religion) that our parents gave us when we were still small. (This is from a parable of the Holy Spirit to us). They may not be comfortable anymore. Now that we are old enough and mature enough, let us use our intellect, our understanding, to search the truth. Let us decide for ourselves who and what to believe. It is our soul that is at stake. This soul will live forever either in Heaven or in Hell. So we should make a careful decision ourselves. God bless us always.
