Oh yeah, fukk him for not preaching about that imaginary place where all of those who don't share your beliefs should be sent to :mjpls:
The Bible is heavily encrypted and is not meant to be taken literally. Everything in the Bible has a deeper meaning behind it and can be decoded using mathematics. If you think the Bible literally meant talking snakes, dying and being resurrected, etc you're crazy as hell :mjlol:
Read between the lines and you'll find the answers :blessed:

It's pretty easy to say in 2017 now that we know for sure how fukking stupid those stories are to be true. But say this centuries ago and you'd get your head knocked off :russ:

So what's the point of those stories if they aren't meant to be taken literally? I mean many of them are horrible when it comes to morals (global flooding, infanticide, uncalled murders, rapes... and son :youngsabo: )

Do christians not literally believe in Jesus being the son of God? :mjpls: Or are ALL stories meant to be metaphors and tales? :mjgrin:

Copout imo.

Most Christians DO in fact take the Bible literally, but if you really read it some of the stuff mentioned doesn't make logical sense. Unless, however, you read between the lines. It even says in the Bible that it has a deeper meaning, and I don't know how most Christians just overlook that :mindblown:
"And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?" -Matthew 13:10

Parable
-
1.
a short allegorical story designed to illustrate or teach some truth,religious principle, or moral lesson.
2.
a statement or comment that conveys a meaning indirectly by the useof comparison, analogy, or the like.

This goes super deep and it's way too much to type out in one message. But I will leave you with this:

There's 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, and 24 hours in a day.
60 x 60 x 24 = 864000
When using a 7 number English Gematria system, Jesus = 27 and Christ = 32
27 x 32 = 864

Jesus Christ, the son of God, symbolically and allegorically represents the Sun.

Why a 7 number English Gematria system and not 26, the number of letters in the alphabet?
"And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made." -Genesis 2:2-3

Take it how you want to. I guess everything just COINCIDENTALLY happens to add up and connect when using mathematics :mjlol:

Aye sorry breh, but it just sounds like some giberrish.

What are your thoughts on the bible? Do you think it is the word of God? or something else? Like for millenias, millions if not billions of people were unable to get the true meaning of it? Seems like a shytty thing if like 99.99% (I'm making up this number :mjlol: ) can't get the meaning of it. Especially when it's supposed to bring "salvation".

If you juelz.gif enough, you can do this for pretty much anything.

Joel Osteen Says Megachurch Didn’t Open Earlier Because Houston ‘Didn’t Ask’

Pastor Joel Osteen can’t seem to get his story straight about why he didn’t offer his 16,800-seat megachurch in Houston as a shelter sooner for those displaced by Hurricane Harvey.

During an appearance on NBC’s “TODAY” show Wednesday, the head of Lakewood Church said its doors have “always been open.” Minutes later, he appeared to reverse course and admit that the church hadn’t initially encouraged victims to seek shelter there.

Fukk Joel Osteen. People shouldn't have to ask. Man look, I go to church and I'm far from perfect. But like Noah, God sent a warning letting the people know. That was the type of relationship God had with Noah, he was warned and prepared. All of those churches if they were ACCESSIBLE, should have been prepared to have their doors open. Church folks are something else. They are the worst type of folks to deal with. Oh and By the way, there over over 20 mosques in houston fully stocked and accepting anyone that needs help.

A lot of brehs in this thread have no business acumen whatsoever.

1. Brehs act as if this man doesn't have dozens of lawyers, legal aids, and advisors directing him on how to proceed with opening up his facility to a mass influx of people.

2. Housing hundreds if not thousands of displaced people at one time is a major security issues especially when you are taking in people that you have no idea of what their true intentions are. The first priority would be to make sure women, children, the elderly, and disabled are safe.

3. People know this man and church have deep pockets. In a crisis such as this, sad to say, you have people who are opportunists and will see it as a way to file a frivolous lawsuit to tap this man's pocket if someone get s assaulted or hurt while in their facility.

The simple fact that some of you brehs in here can't see that tells me ya'll lack in business acumen.

:snoop::mjlol:

"Well Jesus says to keep oneself clear of liability before extending a hand in charity :troll:"

GTFOH nikka. What kind of man of god would even entertain that type of thinking as people are suffering in the worst storm the city has ever seen.

I'm not even religious at all, but I believe in spirituality. I believe these ancient religions were created by geniuses and encrypted through numerology and symbolism. In order to find the truth, you must first crack the code. The thing about this is, you can't COINCIDENTALLY add up a bunch of random numbers and find logical connections.

I believe we are all Gods and through the raising of the Kundalini we are able to achieve higher consciousness or transcendence/enlightenment.

7 Number English Gematria System:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
AB C D E FG H I J K L M
NO P Q R ST UVWX Y Z

Kundalini = 28
Holy Bible = 28

Twenty Eight = 7 + 4 + 5 + 1 + 7 + 2 + 5 + 5 + 7 + 6 + 7 = 56

Adam (28) + Eve (28) = 56
Mother (26) + Father (30) = 56
This refers to the merging of the two opposites within yourself - Finding the true purpose of life; higher consciousness, self awareness, and enlightenment.

If you add up the number of petals on the lotus of each chakra, you get 1050

Earth = 5 + 1 + 5 + 7 + 6 = 24
But when multiplied = 5 x 1 x 5 x 7 x 6 = 1050
Heaven = 6 x 5 x 1 x 5 x 5 x 1 = 750

1050 (Earth) + 750 (Heaven) = 1800

The heart pumps 1800 (Earth + Heaven) gallons of blood in a 24 hour period.
Heart is an anagram for Earth if you move the H.

There are 12 petals on the lotus of the heart chakra, also known as Anahata.

Twelve = 7 + 4 + 5 + 2 + 5 + 5 = 28
Kundalini = 3 + 6 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 5 + 1 + 5 = 28
The key to transcendence or finding your true self is within the heart.

The Kundalini is made up of three things, the chakras, the Gunas, and the paths.

Holy Bible = 6 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 5 + 2 + 2 + 8 = 28
Kundalini also totals to 28, as mentioned previously

If you total the names of each chakra (Sahasrara, Ajna, Vishuddha, Anahata, Manipura, and Muladhara), you get 199.
If you total the names of the Gunas (Tamas, Rajas, and Sattva), you get 60.
If you total the names of each path (Ida, Sushumna, and Pingala), you get 63.

Chakras (199) + Gunas (60) + Paths (63) = 322

322 ± 28 (Kundalini) = 350
You = 2 + 2 + 6 = 10
350 + You (10) = 360
360 degrees represents the completion of the circle, in other words, whole or holy.

Most of the secret societies that people in positions of power are belonged to are aware of this knowledge but their intentions are sinister. Those people are evil and have no heart (the key to transcending).
If you look at the logo of the Skull and Bones society, you'll notice the number 322 at the bottom of it. They are aware.

You're late to the discussion and it's just one perspective on why he may have kept the facility closed.
