    The altar is the only place where our sacrifice will be excepted! It is the place of holiness, consecrated by an ordained and called servent of God!

    The difference between the old Testement, and the altar we have now, is , the priest we have now, is in the man, Christ Jesus.

    You can hear His words outside the temple, as He says there shall not be left one stone upon another.

    This temple that He speaks of, enthralls the alter, an alter of the old covenant. A covenant that would soon be revealed!

    An alter that exsists in the sight of a decieved people, a people who worship themselves, the creature, and not the creator!

    This temple built by man, this alter, shall not last!

    You can count the days, these the prophets and apostles have spoke of.

    This new alter has been established for everyone. An alter given unto all men, not just the few, and the proud.

    This alter has the permanent blood sacrifice, the permanent odor of sacrifice! This is the new altar the only place that God the Father recognizes your and mine sacrifice! The ultimate sacrifice of His only begotton Son!

    Repent and be Baptized

    Something you possibly have never heard before.

    The Kingdom of God is within you, you are the Temple of the living God.

    In your brain is a part called the Fornix, which is tied to the Zodiac Sign Fornax. Fornix is the root of fornicate.

    Define Fornix; fornix (n.)

    from 1680s in reference to various arched formations (especially in anatomy), from Latin fornix "arch, vaulted chamber, cellar, vaulted opening," probably an extension, based on appearance, from a source akin to fornus "brick oven of arched or domed shape" (from PIE root *gwher- "to heat, warm").

    *gwher-

    Proto-Indo-European root meaning "to heat, warm."

    It forms all or part of: brand; brandish; brandy; brimstone; brindled; forceps; Fornax; fornicate; fornication; fornix; furnace; hypothermia; thermal; thermo-; Thermopylae; Thermos.

    It is the hypothetical source of/evidence for its existence is provided by: Sanskrit gharmah "heat;" Old Persian Garmapada-, name of the fourth month, corresponding to June/July, from garma- "heat;" Hittite war- "to burn;" Armenian jerm "warm;" Greek thermos "warm;" Latin formus "warm," fornax "oven;" Old Irish fogeir "heated;" Old English brnan "to kindle."

    Fornax (n.)

    goddess of ovens in ancient Rome, from Latin fornax "furnace, oven, kiln" (from PIE root *gwher- "to heat, warm"). The dim constellation (representing a chemical furnace) was created by French astronomer Nicolas Louis de La Caille in 1752.

    So, as you may be pondering all the scriptures that relate... Set FIRE on the Earth, Luke 12:49

    50But I have a baptism to be baptized with;

    There are 5 stages of Consciousness to the elevation of the Human Mind. Earth, the whole Body, Water a symbol of Truth in you. Air, advanced stage of profound meditation where our thoughts are replaced by God's thought, where we rise to meet Jesus in the Air. Then comes the Spirit and we are Transformed wholly by the renewing of the Mind, to the Final 5th stage

    Heaven is brought to Earth.

    It starts by proper prayer. Matt 6:6-

    Hi SwordBearer

    continued...

    Yes, the Kingdom of God is within you. The Kingdom of God IS you. What else but you did the Creator create and what else but you is His Kingdom? The Kingdom is perfectly united and perfectly protected, and nothing will prevail against It. Amen. Only in one's wildest dreams is there a power which can usurp it. To believe so is actually a form of denial, arrogance, and lack of faith, to put it bluntly. I have faith in this: God wills us be in Heaven, and nothing can keep it from us or us from it. Our wildest misperceptions, our weird imaginings, our blackest nightmares all mean nothing; they will not prevail against the peace God wills for us.

    I have a few questions. What you said about the brain is interesting. Can you give me your opinion on how the brain and mind are related? Also, I'm not sure if you are utilizing/linking the Zodiac thing with spirituality or not. Perhaps some clarification on that would be helpful, if you don't mind.

    Peace and blessings

    Hi SwordBearer,

    I agree with much of what you've posted: God is Love, the Kingdom of God is within you, the psychological war that takes place in your mind, it all ends and begins with your mind.

    1John 4:7-8 "God is Love", "love is of God". If God is fear and hate also, then the door is open to the probability God's opposite, Satan is capable of love and hate also. I question though whether an opposite to God in truth/reality can even exist. Is there anything that can usurp the power of God, thwart His Will or separate His creations from the Love of Christ, even temporarily? To this I would say that God is not the author of fear, I am. I have chosen in my human mind to create unlike Him, and therefore have made fear for myself. I will continue to refer to James 3:11-12. The principle established here is things produce like things, i.e. Love creates Itself and nothing but Itself, Holiness Itself, Perfection Itself, Innocence Itself, Spirit Itself ( John 3:6). They have nothing in common with fear/hate, unholiness, imperfections, guilt, and flesh. To have faith in these opposites is a confused dualistic thinking mind. The water (truth) you mentioned is the same water in which one will never thirst again, John 4, and it cannot be contaminated with salt (lies), again James 3; which results in diluted truth. Yet James says that they can't flow from the same spring (mind). Thus it is obvious the impurities (salt) must be from my own mind.

    Everything that exists in reality, and that which SEEMS to be real (truth), but isn't, is from the Mind of God or from a false opposing mind (mine), respectively. The source of everything, real or false is from Mind/mind, i.e. everything comes from thought; it is an idea. The mind can make the belief in separation from God very real and very fearful, and this belief is the "devil". It is powerful, active, destructive, and clearly in opposition to God because because it literally denies His Fatherhood.

    to be continued...
