Hi, Internet.
Is truth relative? Is truth absolute?
http://www.absolutetruth.net/absolute_truth/index.html
Let's celebrate now that we know the truth!
First off, I will say that I'm not a religious person, I simply have personal faith in Jesus Christ. True faith EXCLUDES all self-righteousness. The media, government and schools are all programming people to turn their backs on God, so I'm going to shed some light on this world. It's very subtle to most people it seems, but quite obvious to me. My goal is to win over hearts and minds to the truth. If you make it out to the other side, things will look brighter. If you feel yourself squirming at my page, then I have done my job because the truth should make you squirm - with delight! Take little bites, take big bites, come one, come all! Let's feast! There is quite a bit on the table. In a world full of deception, false religions, philosophies and false prophets, we are exposed to all kinds of belief systems. There is currently an ever-growing New Age movement. Atheists, agnostics, Darwinian Ape-evolvers and secular humanists all feel that they can elevate themselves as Gods. I really am not trying to be unkind or disrepectful, but this really needs to be said. The world is filled with religious charlatans, government officials, Actors and TV personalities who claim to be Christians, when most are Freemasons, occultists, Babylonian pagans and communists. The pope calls himself the "Vicar of Christ" when he ought to call himself the "Vicar of Hell!" "He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition." -Mark 7:6-9 Religions, popes and man-made traditions didn't die on the cross for our sins, Jesus did. These people are distorting and manipulating the truth for their own gain. The bible itself accurately predicted all of this! They are all wolves in sheep's clothing. I respect the offices they hold, but I don't respect their evil beliefs. I wouldn't wish the punishment of hell on my worst enemy. I'm not on here to make enemies, but I also realize people will hate me for telling the truth. People often hate the things in which they don't understand. Misunderstanding Jesus and his teachings is no exception. It's time to get to the point. I want spiritual unity in God. Let's pull ourselves (spiritually) out of the new world order beast system before it consumes our souls. We are headed for a one world government/religious system headed up by the antichrist and the false prophet just like the Tower of Babel that Nimrod tried to set up as described in Genesis in the bible. Nimrod was influenced by Satan to unite humanity by one language and political system to force them to worship a false, man-made religion. It's time to back up and look at what's happening. "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." - Revelation 13:16-17. "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, and cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season." - Revelation 20:1-3. Since Satan, the Prince of this world, (just look around) has had his way with all of us at various points in our lives, I'm going to take this opportunity to expose him for what he is - a liar, a thief, a deceiver and a murderer. He knows his only hope to get people to worship him is by working through men to distort God's laws and authority, so if we want to be safe from him and defeat him, we have to know God's true laws.
Jesus said,
"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it." - John 8:44.
Jesus is the truth personified:
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." - John 14:6.
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." - Ephesians 2:8-9.

What are God's laws? If we break one, we break them all.
"For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." - James 2:10
Jesus already paid the price of our sins when he died on the cross, thereby cancelling our debts if we believe upon him as our savior. Since we have all broken them, we are less likely to trangress them as our faith grows in God.

The ten commandments are:
"Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image."
"Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain."
"Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy."
"Honour thy father and thy mother."
"Thou shalt not kill."
"Thou shalt not commit adultery."
"Thou shalt not steal."
"Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor."
"Thou shalt not covet."
Since his laws are spiritual, although we may not have committed any outwardly, in our hearts, we have. Are you guilty? I am. It's easy to say, "YOU" have sinned! or "THEY" have sinned!" but it isn't easy to say "I" have sinned. To say, "I have sinned" before the God of this universe and mean it is the hardest thing for us to do. That's how you can tell a good preacher from a bad preacher. If they can stand before the Lord and ADMIT it.
I HAVE SINNED!
..."GET THEE BEHIND ME, SATAN"...- LUKE 4:8
My "legal" name is Jacob. It's really strange to read about the life of Jacob in the bible because his life was so similar to mine - He was a person who struggled with God. He had a vision where he saw a ladder to heaven with angels ascending and descending on it where the ladder is seen as a metaphor between Heaven and Earth. The interpretation many people have is the ladder representing Jesus, as being the ladder, in that he bridges the gap between Heaven and Earth. Jesus presents himself as the reality to which the stairway points; Jacob saw in a dream the reunion of Heaven and Earth and Jesus brought this reunion, metaphorically the ladder, into reality. We've all heard of "Jacob's ladder." As I will mention below, I had an actual experience where I left my body and ascended into space which makes this all even more interesting to me. I went by "Jake" as a kid and still do. On Myspace, I am known as 1839077 because when you sign up, it assigns you numbers. I am the cyber child of "Tom." Here's the million dollar question: Are your thoughts your own? ARE YOU SURE?
I have always believed in God, but I never truly understood the true nature of these forces of good and evil until I experienced them firsthand. It seems when people hear words such as "bible," "Jesus," "religion," "spirituality," they cower away because it has become so perverted that many hear "God" and immediately think of enslavement. These are all "hot" words for "Uhhh, I feel uncomfortable now." Many immediately imagine drones going to church and praying to an imaginary God. This is how effective indoctrination in society, media and schools has become in molding people's viewpoints based on false stereotypes. I don't view Jesus as enslavement. I view him as freedom and love. Enslavement to me, is having to serve the demons of this world, who operate under Satan, who's only purpose is to deceive us into thinking we can become our own Gods. By faith in Jesus, we are free of this spiritual bondage. In my opinion, real enslavement is having to live on this Earth with no hope of salvation or believing in false Gods that promise nothing like Jesus promises. I've studied many religions and many "Gods," but Jesus is the only one that makes any logical sense. He is the only one that offers freedom from spiritual bondage or enslavement to this Earth. Society has perverted and indoctrinated people so much, that I think a lot of people believe the opposite of this to be true. "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever." - Psalm 111:10. I believe the whole point of God's plan is for us to admit we cannot self-deify. In other words, we can't save ourselves from ourselves no matter how hard we try. When the creature abandons his or her creator, they are ruled by a lie. The self-rule belief is essentially Anton LaVey's Satanism or the "Left-Hand Path." The difference between a true follower of Jesus Christ and the follower of men is Righteousness (Jesus) vs. SELF-righteousness (Satan.) This simple idea gets so blown out of proportion. People who follow Jesus Christ often get attacked by unbelievers who say things like, "You think you know everything!" That's the whole point. We don't know everything, that's why we have the bible. That is true righteousness! That is what being "humble" really is. This whole idea that we can create our own religion (personal belief system) is in direct conflict with the gospel of Christ. It is the direct work of Satan. Stop and think about all of the organized religions that have been created by men in direct conflict with the gospel of Jesus. When you read the bible, it automatically instantly invalidates everything outside of the teachings of Jesus. It's that powerful. It's sharper than any two-edged sword. You will begin seeing the world differently and see lies everywhere. It erases all confusion. You will know it in your heart when you read the truth in the scriptures. This will only make sense (and will be made abundantly clear) if you read the bible in it's entirety. If you read the bible literally word-for-word, it will speak directly to your spirit if you have eyes to see the truth. A famous occultist, writer, mountaineer, philosopher, poet, and mystic was Aleister Crowley. His "religion" was based off of this simple belief: "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law." Well, that's great. Truly genius. It's as if this statement came directly out of Satan's lips. (If he has lips - I don't really care to let my imagination get the best of me.) Maybe if I take enough laudanum, opium, cocaine, hash, alcohol, ether, mescaline and heroin or take part in satanic black-magic rituals like he did, I'll be able to reach that level of enlightenment too. It's interesting how these people who whole-heartedly reject Christ in every way end up old and sad living in regret usually dying from a drug addiction or some horrible disease. Even Aleister Crowley, who some have called "The Wickedest Man In The World" ended up admitting how shallow his life was towards the end. According to the bible, he went straight to hell to burn for eternity. God is NOT mocked. "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap." - Galatians 6:7. All of these people who seek what they call "freedom" in this life with hedonism, drugs, alcohol, sex, whatever, end up getting the exact opposite. They get exactly what they fought so hard against. Enslavement.The WORST kind of enslavement. Enslavement to ADDICTION to "things" of this world, rather than real FREEDOM which is the assurance of knowing Jesus.
"For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" - Matthew 16:26.
This is how Satan and the demonic realm attaches itself to it's victims. Through abuse, hurt, rape, incest, murder, drug addiction, anger, greed, the occult, mediums, false religion, false Gods...unwanted spirits (demons) come into our lives consciously or unconsciously when we open these doors to them and give them legal access to our souls.
The sad thing is that many people adhere to this "whatever goes, goes" belief today and it shows. Look at a lot of the books today. They are written by atheists, like Richard Dawkins and his childish book called "The God Delusion." People eat this GARBAGE up. Sadly, he will be cast into the pits of hell when he dies, unless he repents and humbles himself before the creator of the universe. Are book sales and shameful human PRIDE worth more than eternal torment? Life is a mere blip. Pride will send more people to hell than anything else. (There really is no such thing as an Atheist, by the way, seeing as in order to know for certain that there is no God would actually only be possible if you had complete knowledge of the entire Universe, which Atheists apparently believe they have because of their enormous egos.) It takes more ego and more faith to be an "Atheist" than to believe in God, which is completely hilarious to me. Since God doesn't exist to Atheists, that means there is no moral code by which we are to follow. How can they even consider telling other people what is right and what is wrong? Rape, murder, incest, suicide, greed, lust...There's no God to Atheists, so these things can't be considered "wrong" or "right" and if they tell you that it's up to each person to decide what is right or wrong, they have no right to say that either. You see, Atheists like to "play God" while at the same time rejecting God. Want to know what God thinks about Atheists? "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good." - Psalm 14:1 "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." - John 3:18 "Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven." - Matthew 10:32-33. "And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come." - Matthew 12:32. I would re-consider your beliefs if I were you, Atheists. According to evolutionists, you evolved from an Ape. If we evolved from apes, then why do apes still exist? Where are all the transitional forms? Where's the half-lizards/half-humans? Even if we did evolve from bacteria or apes, what created them? Apes can't create energy. Bacteria can't create energy. Not even atheists, in their enormous wisdom, can create energy.
"Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things." - Romans 1:22-23.
Atheists and Darwinian evolutionists often criticize "religion" as being the cause of all conflict and war in the world. I find this particularly fascinating considering how most of the problems we face in this world is because of the Godless, heathen, evolutionary "Survival of the fittest" mentality taught in public schools. Hmm, I wonder why our government is being run by communist satanists... Hmm, I wonder why kids go into schools with guns and blow people away...We are waaaaaaaaay past the point of turning this around. The U.S. elections are rigged and decided already. Do you really think the elite would let a man like Ron Paul win the presidency and ruin the control grid these sociopaths have been working on for decades? Then, you have actors and actresses in Hollywood praising "Scientology" as the next best thing. "Thetan Levels!!?" L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology, who was good friends with the self-proclaimed Anti-Christ Aleister Crowley who I mentioned above, taught that the Christian faith is part of a brain implant, a false memory planted by an evil space alien named "Xenu."
I really wish I was joking, but THIS IS WHAT SCIENTOLOGISTS ACTUALLY BELIEVE. There is no cult on this planet more greedy and false than Scientology. I highly recommend watching the South Park Episode on Scientology. Just click on Season 9 and watch the episode entitled "Trapped In The Closet." In all honesty, does it really take buying a book written by an atheist who simply tells you to "Do whatever you want?" I am not judging Atheists as people. Atheism IS a belief and that's not my business to judge them as people, but I can judge the flawed belief system of atheism. What came first: The chicken or the egg? I want to lead people to the truth. That's all. I've noticed how a lot of self-proclaimed atheists, who apparently don't believe in "God" or "Gods" conveniently believe in certain "Gods" when it's useful, especially "demon" gods used for curses against others. I've seen it. I'm not judging the people, I'm judging the belief system. There is a big difference. The point is, the message of Jesus is that we can't do this on our own. We have fallen from grace. Jesus is a representation of the Kingdom of Heaven in the form of a man - That man being the son of God, HOWEVER, we do not possess his power as humans in the flesh. Jesus was both human and divine. Both God and Man. The holy trinity. The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.
I grew up in a Catholic household and strayed away from the Church after going for about 20 years. My heart wasn't in it. I decided I didn't want to partake in the kneel/sit/stand routine anymore, so I decided to go off and find something else. I still have A LOT of problems (especially now) with the "physical" (as well as spiritual) aspects of that religion. I'd rather speak directly to Jesus Christ than through priests. Recently, I have gone to more bible-oriented churches with my friends as well as my own personal bible study. I don't believe Jesus is found directly from religion. He is found through a direct personal relationship. There are usually 4 different versions people come up with on what the final authority of God is: Some view the church as the final authority, some view experience as the final authority, some view human reasoning as the final authority and some view the bible as the final authority. I see them as all being connected, but the bible, personal faith in Jesus as being the most important. The bible makes it very clear that Jesus is the final authority.
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." - Romans 6:23
If you ask most people how you get to heaven, they will say something like, "If you do more good things than bad things, God will probably let you into heaven." Jesus died for our sins. Read the Gospel. It will tell you this in a very clear manner. Jesus said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber." -John 10:1 No amount of "goodness" will erase the fact that we all fall short of the glory of God. Yes, being "good" is "good," but it's not enough. God's standards are much higher than ours.

If we think we can "sneak" into heaven and do it all on our own without Jesus as our sacrifice and savior, we are only fooling ourselves. "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." - John 10:9-10. Self-righteousness is the only real obstacle to salvation.
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." - Romans 3:23
Why live with the burden of our sins when we can live for God?

Jesus already paid that price for us. Faith without works is dead, but faith with works is alive. This whole "humanist" tradition taught in most colleges is an arrogant attempt to glorify man and to "lower" God. Ask the majority of college professors about God. Most will tell you, "God is whatever I want him to be." Again, back to the Aleister Crowley "Do what thou wilst shall be the whole of the law" philosophy. I guess anything goes then! It's usually either that, or a mixture of all religions into a "God" that fits their lifestyle or just straight up atheism. It's a sickness. It's an illness. This whole idea that we have authority over God is an absolute sickness. Albert Einstein was considered a "genius" because that's what we've been told by our history books, but did he believe in God? Was he Jewish? No. He called Jesus a "myth." He was just another ego-driven man who thought he could out-smart the wisdom of God with mathematical equations that won't make any difference a hundred or a thousand years from now. Energy = Can not be created or destroyed. What would account for this? Did energy "evolve" from Apes? E=MC SINFUL PRIDE. I feel sorry for him and people who base their entire existence and their "proof" that Science=God on people like Albert Einstein. We must become as children to understand the kingdom of God. Intellect has nothing to do with it. We live by faith daily, yet some find it too much of a stretch to believe in God by faith. Ego is a terrible obstacle for some. Scientists, atheists, evolutionists, new agers are all looking in the wrong places because they refuse to read the word of God. The simplicity of salvation was laid out very clearly.
The unsaved person cannot understand God...
"But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." -1st Corinthians 2:14
In order to understand God, you must be born again...
"There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again." -John 3:1-7
Jesus said, WHOSOEVER WILL MAY COME!
The church can't save you, religion can't save you, baptism can't save you, confirmation can't save you, sacraments can't save you, the pope can't save you, the government can't save you, your college education can't save you, your house can't save you, traditions can't save you, money can't save you, men can't save you, your own reasoning can't save you. These things are all temporary. I'm not saying these things aren't worthwhile pursuits, but speaking on the level of eternal spiritual "salvation," they alone will not save you. Only JESUS can save you. Go directly to him. If you are doubting what I'm saying right now in your mind, you are being snared by Satan, the fowler. He's trying to clip your wings. This is his favorite thing to do - "You don't need God, you can do it yourself your own way." I like the analogy that Pastor Jack Hyles used - that we are all like birds trapped in a cage. We need someone on the outside to open the door to let us out...other birds on the inside can't get us out because we are all trapped in the same cage. The pope "bird" and the church "bird" can offer us a cracker, (Eucharistic host) but a piece of bread alone is not going to let us out of the cage. "And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God." - Luke 4:3-4. We need a savior on the outside of the cage to open the door for us...that savior is Jesus. Whosoever WILL may come.
"For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it." - Matthew 16:25.
It's interesting to see the differences that people from different churches clutch onto. The Catholic religion has developed prayers to the virgin Mary as well as the rosary where vain repetitions are prayed to her. I didn't really participate in that aspect of Catholicism. I prayed from the heart. So, this has been argued that praying to Mary instead of praying to Jesus could be opening doors to Satan as the bible condemns idolatry. See this page: Hail Mary! Hail Satan! The bible has been altered so many times since it's original translations and doctrines have been formed by the hand of man. When men get involved in changing scripture and doctrines, I start to have a problem with it. Also, when religious and political power combine, then more problems are created especially when it involves war. As a result of what happened in the Garden of Eden, with Adam and Eve disobeying God, I believe original sin and Satan's deceptions have passed down to our generation. The only evidence you need to see how far things have slid down the wrong path is by looking at our world
In Genesis, it describes Adam and Eve as the first humans on the Earth. It describes how they were deceived by Satan when he came to Eve when she was vulnerable and spoke to her spirit. What did he say? "For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil" - Genesis 3:5. She believed Satan's lies and ate from the "tree of knowledge of good and evil" when God specifically told them not to. Can you see how this lie has carried to our generation? No one fears God anymore because they believe they can become their own Gods JUST LIKE SATAN WANTS! I'm also studying demonology and generational curses. It all seems to be connected to our present state of confusion and madness we are faced with in this world. World peace hasn't, and never will happen, as long as Satan has free ability to roam and deceive. We were born into evil, sin and suffering as a result of Adam and Eve's fall from the grace of God. Jesus came here as an eternal, final, sacrifice to atone for our sins. He took the "hit" for us. I have found that I never really truly knew Jesus in my heart until things got really bad. It's easy to say something, but sincerely meaning it in your heart is the real test. I have always read everything I can from as many perspectives as I can to see which one works. Recently, I have been re-awakened by an out-of-body experience where I spontaneously left my body. I was pulled out into space. This experience happened on October 04, 2006 when I was living in Chicago. I believe there is only one true God and that Jesus is his son who came in the flesh and that the only way to heaven is by faith through Jesus Christ. He is the way, the truth and the life. I believe he died for my sins and all of our sins. When religion and spirituality don't meet, disaster occurs. Fanaticism is dangerous. I didn't want anything to do with the Catholic church anymore. Something felt wrong about it to me. I thought I'd just become a spiritual person, but that isn't enough. God knows our minds and our hearts even better than we do, so we really can't fool God, only ourselves - Trying to find that balance and grace to express it - that is the most difficult part in this world that is becoming less spiritual and more material. I've always been musically and artistically inclined, so that's how I feel closest to God. I really believe a person could live a terrible life and repent seconds before death and still be saved (I wouldn't recommend this though because death could come like a thief in the night and if you wait too long, it could be too late to receive Jesus as savior.) Demons hate the name "Jesus Christ." It repels them because they believe they have all of his power to themselves. I think that's a pretty good sign of how great he really is. If DEMONS fear the mere mention of the Lord Jesus Christ, what does that say about humans who willingly reject him?
"Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble." - James 2:19
I made the decision to go off on my own around the time this whole media-contrived "War on Terrorism" began when I began to lose hope in humanity because I felt like I just wanted to get away and throw myself out in the world. I moved to California. Throughout my life, I never understood why it seemed like no one had any answers to anything. I have always wanted to find that "final" truth that everyone could agree on. As a result of being open-minded to relative, as well as absolute truth, I've studied many books that could offer a nice "middle-ground." In doing this, I have discovered that there are many false doctrines and false Gods out there that people worship. The bible tells us to "test" the spirits to determine whether they are of God or not. "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." - 1 John 4:1. I'm realizing all of the false doctrines out there - Especially the Urantia Book. (I drove out to the country and set it on fire. It was quite a cleansing experience.) The Urantia Book is this book that supposedly "appeared" in Chicago from "celestial" authors. The language and complexity of it is beyond human, which fascinated me. It's attempts are to present enlarged concepts of the life of Jesus and mix it in with other religions. Paul warns in Gal 1:6-9: "I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto ANOTHER GOSPEL:Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach ANY OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be ACCURSED." It's as if the book was penned directly by Satan. Satan knows everything about Jesus. It's easy to deceive people by mixing truth with lies. Satan is a liar. The Urantia book has a lot in common with basic Christian teachings in the sense that it says Jesus is the son of God, but at the end, it departs from the most important doctrine of atonement. It doesn't hold that the doctrine of Jesus dying for our sins was necessary for our survival of death, it implies we can do it "on our own" which I now realize is not right, because none of us are perfect beings and none of us possess that power to just leave our bodies and go to heaven whenever we want. That would be nice, but that's not reality. The Urantia book is just another new age book that should be AVOIDED. It had to be either channeled or a result of automatic writing, much like L. Ron Hubbard used to write his books on Scientology. Either way, it's deceptive. I noticed it had given me this sort of sick power trip. I began getting thoughts like "If everyone would just read this book, the world would be better." It didn't leave me feeling very peaceful. I felt like I had a burden on me after reading it. When I left my body during this experience, I wanted to stay out of my body because I felt totally relieved of all pressure and felt total peace and joy for most of it. The feeling when I left my body was like my head exploding open, like when your ears pop on an airplane. I could distinctly remember seeing the Sears tower and every detail of Earth clearly as I lifted up, then it was like I entered a vacuum and was sucked out into space away from Earth. It happened so quick. The stars began to blend into blurs of light and I was gone. I noticed how dense and heavy the Earth realm felt compared to being out of my body. I've never felt freedom like that ever. The peace and beauty of seeing the Earth and space from the point of consciousness (not being stuck inside my body was indescribable.) I got so far out in space that I couldn't see the Earth anymore, which frightened me because I didn't know where I was. It was then that I was surrounded by TOTAL darkness and started to feel this indescribable pain. There are some verses of scripture that describe this place of outer darkness which is what I believe I experienced: "Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever." - Jude 1:13/ "And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." - Matthew 25:30. I remember screaming out to the Lord inside of my soul "NO!" because I couldn't bear that pain anymore and immediately with a bright flash, I was hurled back into my body. I suppose it's possible that I wasn't allowed to remember what really happened beyond that. I just know that I was both terrified and excited after it happened. It was then that I finally realized we are totally helpless to save ourselves. There are NOT MANY PATHS to God, there is only one - through Jesus Christ. We all MUST make a choice to either accept Jesus or accept the consequences of eternal separation from him. I couldn't bear even a few seconds of separation from God, let alone an eternity. When I returned into my body, I was gasping for air. I was paralyzed for a while and extremely dizzy for about 5-10 minutes. (I was laying on my bed when this happened.) What I learned from this experience is that what we think is important on this Earth really isn't. On a spiritual level, the most important things are happening on a very subtle level. It really shocked me. It's about letting go...Letting go of yourself and your ego and giving it up to God. There is more power in that than you will ever know...when you let HIM do it for YOU. I realized how incredibly materialistic this world has become and how far away from God we've gotten as a world. We are living too much for ourselves and not enough for God. I am only saying this to help people, not to sound like a zealot. I feel obliged to talk about it.
I quickly grabbed my camera and made a rough rendering of it using Google Earth for posterity.
It looked like this, only much faster and more vivid.
There was no wind, no sound and my vision was clearer than normal and much broader than normal vision. My consciousness expanded to that of the entire universe and I had a sense of all-knowing while this was happening, but it slowly faded when I got back into my body. Outside my body, there was no concept of "time," only an all-pervading sense of infinite knowledge and glory. I could feel the electricity and incredible power around me and a really beautiful odor around me. The force that carried me up was very powerful.
Since it was spontaneous and not planned also makes me feel a little better. I have never participated in anything like astral projection or contacting mediums or anything like that. I've only studied these things out of curiosity. The experience has changed me, so I guess maybe I'm being a little pessimistic. At first, I didn't know if it was a punishment or a gift, but looking back, I mostly see it as being a wake up call and a gift because it has enhanced my appreciation for life and has put into me a real sense of urgency to get people saved through Jesus Christ. He is literally our only hope of eternal life and salvation from the torments of hell.
There is some research that suggests "hell" is a "state of mind" and when you pass out of your body your thoughts (or soul) become who you are and if you are still fixated on some selfish desire only gained from the Earth "dimensions," you can't escape until you are able to break those bonds. Now that I have accepted biblical explanations for these things, this seems totally wrong. These are more new age beliefs that deceive people into thinking they don't need God. I believe hell is literal as the bible states it is. It helps us fully appreciate what Jesus has saved us FROM. I believe my experience was to lead people to Jesus. The true Jesus of the BIBLE, not the Jesus of people's imaginations. Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light. "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." - 2 Corinthians 11:14. Satan's only purpose is to destroy people's souls. I know what happened to me was real and I can't convince anyone beyond that. I could just feel the might and glory of the power of the universe as I ascended out into space as "consciousness." (I don't do drugs, by the way and I know this wasn't a dream. This really happened.) I remember my first thoughts upon waking were to investigate the government, specifically George Bush - claiming he was a "Christian" (because I hadn't realized what was really going on yet and that I needed to make changes in my life.) The fact that this all happened while I was reading the Urantia Book and going through a lot of personal turmoil might suggest why it happened. I believe it was God telling me to "Burn that book!" During that period I was reading the Urantia book, I had horrible "luck" but I'm not sure it was "luck." I think it was more or less signs telling me to get off of that path. It sounded good, but I noticed it just felt like something was after me during that period. My car was rear ended out of no where when it was just me and another guy at 3 am in Chicago with no traffic. I felt something incredibly evil come over me when that happened. Before I left my apartment that night, I hit my leg on a table and got this vision or feeling that I shouldn't go out that night. I went out anyway and got a vision of my car being hit before I even got in it. It was more than just this...it was a succession of bad luck. It was very strange. I know these forces of God and Satan are real and that Satan and his fallen angels actually do prowl around on this Earth in search of ruining our souls when we give in to weakness.
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:" 1 Peter 5:8
One night in Chicago, I went to the 7-11 and it was raining outside. There was a homeless man and he asked if I had anything for him. I gave him my snack and walked. He said, "Do you know how long it's going to rain?" I said, "no." He said, "I hope it doesn't rain for 40 days and 40 nights" with a smile. I got an odd chill through my body and grinned and kept walking. The thing that I remember about him was his eyes. They didn't look like a typical run-down homeless man's eyes. He just looked so out of place standing there under the subway tracks in the rain - it was almost ghostly. The whole encounter was surreal. The way he spoke to me made my hair stand on end. His eyes pierced through my soul. "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." - Hebrews 13:2. I had asked God for a "sign" earlier that day asking him if I was on the right track, so I feel I got it in this encounter.
One day, I had my headphones on and was listening to Sigur Ros - Glosoli, completely overwhelmed by everything and I literally felt something lift out of me. Music has that power on me sometimes, but this time was totally different. I am completely taken over by it when it's good. I got a white flash around me, I got dizzy, felt my eyes starting to blink really fast and I could smell flowers right by me and all over my apartment - It was the same smell that I smelled after my out of body experience. It's a smell that I've never smelled on this Earth. It was something supernatural. I feel like I've been touched directly by the Holy Spirit. I know the things that have been happening to me are not just mere coincidences.
Mormonism preaches that we all become God's and eventually rule our own planets...Buddhism is another one of these Earthbound religions that sucks in the "victim." A lot of people have been deceived by that religion which many times results in suicide. A good example is one of my favorite musicians, Kurt Cobain. He was obviously totally taken over by Satan, although he seemed to have moments where he could see the "light." There is actually a film out now about him called "About A Son." You can see how he was desperately searching for "something" outside of himself, but his own anger towards the things that angered him about this world ended up destroying him because he directed it inward and became self-involved. A lot of people can relate to that sort of pain, but don't know where to direct it. Belief systems compound on themselves and if you aren't directing your energy towards the right belief system, you are digging your own grave. Kurt Cobain was a Buddhist, but he wrote really good music. You can tell by his lyrics how Buddhism ruined him. It's a shame.

Jesus' death and resurrection was his way of showing us that he was the son of God (God incarnate) and that through him, we could enter Heaven. I noticed I had this person that made a Jesus profile on my friends list, so I left it on out of curiosity. A bulletin that I had posted a few months ago appeared and the title was "Your loving government engages in mind control." The Jesus "friend" posted a vile bulletin of a mouth with blood dripping out of it as well as this Hindu demon God profile from California, aged 25 (same as me) appeared and attached itself without me adding it. (I lived in California for a while.) I deleted both of them. I've heard the closer you try to get to God, the harder the devil works to sway you away, but it's getting more obvious when it happens and it hasn't been happening since I deleted them. Ever since I put these prayers on here, nothing has touched my profile.
Jesus spoke in parables and it's starting to make sense why the bible is a repellent to the "proud." The Bible is not like other books. It takes multiple readings and re-readings for it to sink in. I recommend the 1611 King James version because I believe from my research that it's the truest translation of God's inspired word (The original documents were written in Hebrew and Greek.) There are many versions of the Bible that change the meanings of the original message completely through additions, deletions and re-wording. The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls are a powerful testament as to the accuracy and historicity of the bible we have today.

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." - Ephesians 6:12

"Our Father, which art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy Name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
Amen."
