It's simple logic. Here are the basic equations:

GIVEN: Oral and Anal sex is permitted = Satan and nearly all other gods

GIVEN: Oral and Anal sex is not allowed = God of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

THEREFORE: Your God + Christianity = Your 'god' is Satan, not God.

The God of Christianity, like the God of Judaism, has condemned Oral and Anal sex regardless of who does it and why. The proof is the destruction of Sodom and Gemorrah where it was practiced by everyone and then condemned by God.

Hades was worshiped as a god by the Greeks and the Romans. Satan was seen by the Jews as an evil, rebellious Angel. They were two different spiritual entities. After Christianity, the old gods were all deemed to be deomons who lied to mankind with Satan as their leader. Even so, Hades and Satan were always different evil spirits, one of them a former 'god'.

+ Jesus Christ Really, Really Did Descend into Hell +

________________________________________

There came a man, whose appearance was that of a thief, carrying a cross upon his shoulder, shouting from the outside of the door of Hell, saying: 'Open up so that I may come in.' And Satan, opening up to him a little, brought the man inside into his dwelling, and again shut the door behind him. And all the Saints saw him most clearly and said to him: 'Your appearance is that of a robber. Tell us what it is that you carry on your back.' The answered with humility: 'Truly I was a thief in all ways; but the Jews hung me up on a cross, along with my Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father most high. I have now come proclaiming Him. He indeed is coming right behind me.'

- Gospel of Nicodemus

Near the end of every Sunday Mass, Roman Catholics join together to recite the exact words of what's been called the Creed of Faith. They have been during this for nearly 1,700 years. Many other Christian sects do the same. One of the more frightening verses concerning Jesus in this age-old Creed states quite bluntly: He descended into Hell. Over the centuries, many believers have probably wondered what exactly does that mean. Did Jesus Christ really descend into Hell? What happened when He was down there? How did He manage to escape? Why did He even need to go to such a terrible place?

The answers to all these questions can be found in the Christian legend known as the Harrowing of Hell. As the story goes, the LORD Jesus Christ died on the Cross only to find Himself leading an entire army of Angels down the treacherous slopes of Hell. After travelling further and further down into the darkness of this wicked kingdom, both He and his Angelic forces finally came to the heavily-guarded fortress where the official leader of the dead, a Pagan god called Hades, resided. While Jesus laid seige to this foul fortress, the ancient serpent known as Satan, the Devil found himself trying to reassure the ruler of this dark kingdom that there was nothing to fear.

Shortly after their initial assault, the Divine expedition led by Christ finally manages to tear down and smash the Gates of Hell into a thousand pieces. The LORD Jesus then charges through the wreckage in order to capture and subdue two of the most evil beings ever known, namely the Pagan god of the dead Hades and his diabolical side-kick Satan. Here are the details of this epic battle which immediately follows the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross:

+ The Shattering of the Gates of Hell: And, behold, suddenly Hades trembled, and the gates of Heall and its bolts were shattered. The iron bars were broken and fell to the ground, and everything was laid open. And Satan remained in the midst, and stood confounded and downcast, bound with fetters on his feet. (Gospel of Nicodemus 8)

+ The Defeat of Satan: The Lord Jesus Christ...carrying a chain in His hand, bound Satan by the neck, tying his hands behind him. He then cast Satan into Hell, and placed His holy foot on his throat, saying: 'Through all ages you have done many evils; you have not rested. Today I condemn you to everlasting fire.' (Gospel of Nicodemus 8)

+ The Damnation of Hades: The Hades was suddenly summoned and Jesus commanded him saying: 'Take this most wicked and impious one, and keep him even unto that day in which I shall command you.' And so Hades, as soon as he received Satan, was plunged under the feet of the Lord...into the depth of the abyss. (Gospel of Nicodemus 8)

+ The Conquest of the Underworld: Then the Saviour, inquiring thoroughly about all, seized the underground kingdom of Hades, immediately threw some down into Hell, and led some with Him to Heaven...And the Lord set His cross in the midst of Hades, which is the sign of victory, and which will remain unto eternity. (Gospel of Nicodemus 9-10)

+ The Ascent into Heaven: Then we all went forth to Heaven along with the Lord, leaving Satan and Hades in Hell. (Gospel of Nicodemus 10)

After eventually coming face to face with Hell's somewhat frightened ruler King Hades, Jesus Christ presses on to attack His traditional age-old foe the Devil named Satan. First He binds the adversary with a chain He carried with Him, Jesus then throws His ancient enemy down onto his back. Having been subdued beneath the mighty feet of Christ, Satan is eventually cast even further down into the burning depths of Tartarus. This particular abode also happens to be the lowest level of Hell set aside for its most dangerous inhabitants- a fitting end for Satan. Jesus then demands that King Hades appear before Him to await His orders. He then commands this so-called Greco-Roman deity to take care of his evil companion Satan as they are banished into exile- on a journey down into a bottomless pit of eternal damnation.

Finally, Jesus Christ proceeds to make judgment upon all the countless number of Hell's deceased inhabitants, condemning some and redeeming many others until a perfect and eternal justice has been achieved. Making sure to gather together all of His fellow Saints, the only Son of God decides to leave a Sign of the Cross behind as both a monument to His Divine love and mercy and as a warning to the stray forces of darkness. Jesus Christ then leaves the underground world of the dead and ascends upwards into Heaven where He is destined to rule for all eternity.

Herein lies the story of what really happened to Jesus the very moment after giving up the ghost during His crucifixion. Indeed, Jesus Christ really did die and really did descend into Hell, thus achieving the eternal salvation of all mankind, This ancient Christian tale may leave some readers wishing for more or expecting it to contain more drama and excitement. So, even though the story of Christ's descent into Hell may be quite simple, for Christians it is the truest story ever told.

If you are living with a family with kids you should always have at least one dog and one cat. Females living alone will often have a cat. But for bachelors on their own, there's nothing like a dog. Why?

A dog is a man's best friend.

The God of Abraham isn't a God of Europe, or Africa, or North and South America, or even Asia, even though he resided in the Middle East his entire life. The God Abraham is the God of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam which MORE than half of the Earth's population believes in already and the total number of believer increases with each passing day. Here is what God told Abraham at the beginning of their friendship:

Now the LORD had said to Abram: 'I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and I will curse him who curses you, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.

- Genesis 12:1-3

BIBLE: I will make you a great nation.

FACT: Some of the richest, most powerful nations to ever exist are Christian nations, followed by Muslim nations.

BIBLE: I will bless you and make your name great.

FACT: A total nobody when he was alive, Abraham is now, 4000 years later, one of the most famous people ever known in history and considered the founder of the world's three greatest religions.

BIBLE: You shall be a blessing.

FACT: Abraham's legacy of abstract monotheism has advanced human civilization exponentially. Before the year 2,000 BC, mankind had made little to any progress towards civilization. After Abraham, human progress had accelerated each and every generation.

BIBLE: I will bless those who bless you and I will curse him who curses you, and

FACT: Those people, and their Pagan religions, who rejected Judaism, and then rejected Christianity, and then rejected Islam have ended up falling down and being trampled into pieces by history. The religion of ancient Egypt slowly collapsed and disappeared almost 2,000 years ago and its people are now Muslim and Christian. Canaan ruled the Holy Lands and North Africa for nearly 1,000 years, then suddenly vanished leaving only traces of its existence, while its people are now Jewish, Christian, or Muslim. The mighty empires of Persia and Babylon suffered the same fate of decay and death and accepted Christian or Islam as their religious faith. Finally, the so-called 'immortal' gods of Greece and Rome were killed off very quickly by Christian, while their Temples built to last a thousand years, have been forsaken and slowly crumpled into dust.

BIBLE: In you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.

FACT: All three of the religions of Abraham are founded upon the monogamous, heterosexual family unit rather than being founded upon any tribe, nation, or race. For the child, first comes God, but then comes the Father and the Mother in terms of their loyalty and their love. The God of Abraham is one of the very, very few gods that has ever transcended race or nationality and has promised redemption for all people from all places for all eternity.

Let's see, what about all those authors who have written all those books which advocate, promote, celebrate, and basically demand an increase in sexual immorality? What about all those talk show hosts, their guests, and their viewers who agree with them? It seems that the sex perverts have already won the debate by labeling those who oppose the sexual degeneration occurring in modern society to be 'obsessed' with sex. Yet anyone who practices sexual immorality and their allies who promote it are FAR MORE obsessed with sex than religious people.

QUESTION: What group of people are the MOST obsessed with sex?

WRONG ANSWER: Fundamentalist Judeo-Christian Believers

CORRECT ANSWER: White, male homosexuals

You cannot deny the truth forever. God bless you and Shalom.

The Old Testament contains the Book of the Maccabees I and II. These are some of the most heroic stories ever known in history. Most people don't know this, but without the Maccabees there would have been no Christianity and we would all be worshiping Zeus and his son Apollo.

That is why you differ from me. I want a better world, no a perfect one where there zero rape, murder, or suicide either in this country or in any country. I want a perfect world where everyone is heterosexual, remains a virgin until marriage, and never commits adultery or has a divorce. Sound boring? Not to me, because I once was blind, but now I see....

What exactly is the name of the God you worship and believe. Is his real name something like Zeus, or Bacchus, or Apollo, or Osiris, Ra, Amon, or Marduk, Baal or Molech, or Odin or Thor? I know the REAL name of the God YOU believe is Satan, and he's just not my style.
