Prophet Bushiri Caught Faking Miracle (WATCH)
This is too funny! Fake miracles aren't anything new. Now, I am a devout Christian. I mean, I was born and raised in a Nigerian Christian family so of course going to church and watching binding and castings happen has been in life for as long as I can remember. But even then at a younger age, I remember the talks about fake miracles.
Jide OkonjoPublished 4 years ago in FuturismThe South
Growing up in the south is an unique experience. There are churches at every corner and shirts announcing bible passages. There are sometimes sign saying "God Loves You!" It's cute, but my point is that God is prevalent in the south. It is a way of life. Walk into any Hobby Lobby and see the quotes from the bible and hear the grandmothers talk about their church services and the scandalous things they have planned after like eating brunch at some cafe or Olive Garden.

[ An excerpt from my book, The Rise and Fall of the Nephilim ] “Science is built up of facts, as a house is built of stones; but an accumulation of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house.” ~Henri Poincaré, Science and Hypothesis, 1905
Scotty RobertsPublished 4 years ago in FuturismETERNITY
When I awoke, there was someone on the bed. I hadn’t slept too well and I mostly sensed the intruder’s presence by the pressure he applied on the box spring than by seeing who he was. Then my eyes adjusted to the darkness in the room, and I realized that it was God who had come to visit me. This put me in a kind a stupor. What was God doing near enough to me that I could touch whatever he used to cover himself, more like a drapery than anything sensible? He had plenty of beard and hair, both white. Still, he looked younger than me, all dressed up in one outfit the same color as my sheets.
Jean LagacéPublished 4 years ago in FuturismWitchcraft in the 21st Century
Introduction Witchcraft is a subject that is various to many cultures with many ideas. It’s a practice in south Africa, and also a practice in other areas throughout history. Witchcraft isn’t new, and that is definite, but it has changed from what it was before, and from what most people believe of what a witch is. So here, I want to set it clear, end unfair judgements that precall upon a witch, and atlast describe some beliefs and practices at a beginner level, and a basis of everything a beginner witch needs to know. It’s time to debunk all of these myths, and take a further look into what witchcraft actually is.
Azazel: Fallen Angel, or Something Else?
Anyone who's read even a bit of the Bible has come across the creation story, and the loss of the garden of Eden. Adam and Eve lived in the garden of Eden until the Serpent tempted Eve with knowledge that was only supposed to be God's. So she ate of the tree of Knowledge, and so did Adam. The couple got caught big time, and they were cast out along with the Serpent who had begun the whole mess. The moral of the story is that you should never trust anything a snake tells you is a good idea, right?
Neal LitherlandPublished 4 years ago in FuturismWhat's The Difference Between Devils and Demons?
There's a saying that English doesn't borrow from other languages. No, English bludgeons other languages over the head, drags them into dark alleys, then goes through their pockets for crumpled adjectives and loose grammar.
Neal LitherlandPublished 4 years ago in FuturismThe Night of the New Pope
On February 11th, 2013, only a few days after we arrived in the Eternal City, Pope Benedict XVI announced plans to step down from Papacy. To a heathen like myself it didn’t sound particularly Earth-shattering. Popes come and go, I thought. It’s the way of the Catholic world.
James Edward DaggettPublished 4 years ago in FuturismCelebrating Beltane
The sun shines brightly down on you. You take the end of a long ribbon in your hand. The music strikes and you start weaving around the other dancers, laughing and screaming as you try not to bump into each other.
Brittany KellerPublished 4 years ago in FuturismMy Spiritual Journey so far
I’m going to start speaking more directly with my videos from now on because I notice that I’ve been making these periscope videos as if they are VLogs. I’m not trying to make an interpersonal relationship between me and whoever watches me. I What I’m about to share now is my own personal spiritual journey through my perspective. I’m not her to entertain. If you keep coming here saying “You’re here for my entertainment. Entertain me, blah blah blah” you’re just wasting your own time. Unless you think listening to someone talk about deep things that are beyond this world is entertaining.

Not a pretty picture is it? This is what happens when you choose faith over the children because God forbid that kids should live a long and happy life so that they can become something better tomorrow.

On Monday, April 6, 2020, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand, became the first world leader to declare the Easter Bunny an "essential worker" who's job of hiding Easter eggs and assorted treats would occur without government restriction during the 2020 coronavirus outbreak. Leaders of other countries around the globe quickly followed and as of this evening, April 12—Easter—it appears that the annual delivery of Easter baskets to children worldwide has gone off in as normal a manner as possible. Is there something especially important about this rabbit: the secular symbol of the Christian season of Easter? Well, yes and no.
