Resolved Question: Did you know that the so called 'Black Americans' are the descendants of the Ancient Israelites of the Bible (?
It is a scriptural fact and through archeology that the so called African American / Caribbean "Black Man / lady" is the descendant of the biblical Israelites. "Descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who God said would be enslaved for 400 years. The scripture in Deut 28:15-68 clearly explain the curses upon Israel for the breaking Yah's laws and worshiping other G_ds. There are several prophecy's throughout the old and new testament of Israel being scattered throughout the four corners of the earth. The temple that you look today in Jerusalem is prophecy fulfilled and it was destroyed in 70 AD by the Romans, which has scattered every the 12 tribes of Israel into Africa and then in later time as per prophecy mentioned in Deut 28:68, the Israelite s were sold into slavery...According to the prophecy mentioned in Deut 28:68, the only race of people who were sold into slavery by ships (bond men and bondwoman) were black people, as per scripture are the true descendants of the biblical Israelite's The so called Jews and/or Israelis that you look in Israel today are not the descendants of the Biblical Israelites, however does make you wonder why they don't call them selves Israelites, becuase the truth is knowed that Israel became a state after 1948 through the assistance of the United Nations after world war 2. These so called Jews in Israel today are impostors who lie about being the descendant of the biblical Israelites. 92% of the white jews that you look today are Ashkanazi's from the khazar empire, from the European region. They also believe in the Talmud, which is to them considered higher than the bible. This Talmud (oral law of Moses) is nothing but a book of hate and immorality. The Talmud is no where where mentioned in the Holy bible nor is it mentioned in theTanak (Torah) The word Judaism is also not mentioned in any of the scriptures or in the Tanak. Judaism is a MAN MADE RELIGION that has adopted the laws of YAH Genesis 15:13,14 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they arrive out with great substance. Acts 7:6 ,7 YAH (God) spoke to him (Abraham) in this way: 'Your descendants will be strangers in a country not their possess, and they will be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years. But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves,' YAH (God) said, 'and afterward they will arrive out of that country and worship me in this place (Israel) Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art wealthy) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to arrive and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. Unfortunately, there are today people caling themselves "Black Israelites" who are racist and are misinformed about the true message of the Messiah. It's every about showing adore and teaching salvation to another human being. (no matter the what color the person is)...I have arrive across many white Hebrew Israelites that are aware of the truth (in America and in Europe) and I find that to be a beautiful thing.....Salvation is for everyone (Yah is no respecter of persons and he does not care what color the person is, as long as they aware of the truth and what he requires)....Also we do not tolerate bad or lies that is being taught from other religions or cults....The Jews that you look today in Israel is a lie and right now the truth is coming to the world about this lie.... They CANNOT provide any evidence through Archeology or through the Holy Scriptures on their claims on being the Chosen ones and/or being the descendants of the ancient Biblical Israelites..IF I'M WRONG..I would kindly ask anyone to please email me the evidence, especially evidence that can be provided through the HOLY SCRIPTURES (The Bible) or better yet, I would suggest for the individual to post this solid "STRONG"credible Evidence as it would be considered the "Best Answer" that would undoubtedly prove me and every Hebrew Israelite in this forum wrong, however the information that we have provided, is derived from the HOLY SCRIPTURES and through historical facts. It would be strongly suggested that this "STRONG"credible Evidence needs to be based on the same (WITHOUT claims, opinions or man made theory's).

Resolved Question: Knowing what the Bible says about hell, and knowing we all will face death one day, how can anyone be atheist?
Revelation 20:15 "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of flame" Luke 16:22-23 "...the wealthy man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments..." Matthew 5:30 "... it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell" Seeing that our sin is what condemns us to the flames of hell, why would anyone reject Christ our life Savior? EDIT: I have no fear of the flames of hell because Jesus Christ rescued me from it. I snooze in peace every night because I know who holds my future. EDIT: The Bible does not "threat" but instead it warns of what is to arrive.

Open Question: Jehovah Witnesses, did you know Jesus is not Michael the Archangel?
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, ONE OF THE CHIEF PRINCES [One of them? There's more?], came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia" (Daniel 10:13) The fact that Michael is "one of the chief princes," however, indicates that Michael is not unique. Jesus is more than just a "Prince" or "Ruler." The Bible calls Jesus "King of Kings" and "Lord of Lords." (Revelation 17:14; 19:16) This title indicates absolute sovereignty and authority and is a far sob from being "one of the chief princes" who is one among a group of equals. In Matthew 4:4 Jesus rebukes Satan, He says, 'MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.' Yet in Jude 9, Michael the Archangel “did not dare pronounce” against Satan and calls on the Lord to rebuke him. "But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment, but said, 'The Lord rebuke you!'" You'll argue that Jude 9 was written chronologically before Matthew, but actually, Matthew was written sometime between AD50 and AD60, whereas Jude was written between AD70 and AD80. In fact, if Acts is dated about AD61, and if Luke, the companion volume preceded, then the book of Mark (which also records the temptation of Christ) must be even earlier, since Luke used Mark in his writings. Matthew and Mark make account of Christ's life, and the things He spoke PRIOR to His death. Jude was not written prior to Christ's death, and that, you would have a very difficult time proving. Furthermore, you can argue over dating of the material written, but it would not make matter in any case, because Christ lived before the book of Jude was even written, thus, His words spoken, 'MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD,' would have occurred prior to Jude. "God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of every things, through whom also He made the world. And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds every things by the word of His power When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they. For to WHICH OF THE ANGELS did He ever say, 'YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN [does not mean created, if so, God has begotten/created every angels] YOU'? And again, 'I WILL BE A dad TO HIM AND HE SHALL BE A SON TO ME'? And when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says, 'AND LET every THE ANGELS OF GOD WORSHIP HIM.' What I find even more interesting is that Charles Taze Russell, the founder of The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, stated in The Watchtower magazine close the end of its inaugural year, “Hence it is said, ‘let every the angels of God worship him’: (that must include Michael, the chief angel, hence Michael is not the Son of God)…” (1879, p. 4)

Resolved Question: Did you know that EVERY commercially available item has the number 666 hidden in it's barcode?
''No one will be able to buy or sell unless he has the mark" - this is in the book of Revelation & if you look at ANY barcoded item you will look three hidden sixes: The first double line is a 6 (compare it with any other '6' lines indicated in the code & you'll look they are the same thickness) The second hidden 6 are the middle lines & the third are the last lines: 6 / 6 / 6. Why do you think these three sixes aren't indicated & yet ALWAYS used? Check one carefully & you will look it is true. Is this evidence that capitalism is the work of Satan? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7nDdS6XrbE Andrew - you aren't looking difficult enough: the 3 slightly longer lines are every sixes. Check it again & you'll look it's true. 666.

Resolved Question: Jehovah Witnesses, did you know that though Jesus is not the Father, He is still Jehovah?
I've YET to receive a decent answer on Zechariah 2:8-11. Jehovah Witneeses keep telling me that it's an agent speaking on behalf of God, THOUGH I keep suggesting, "You can not apply your doctrine of agency here, as you would make some believe. The reason you can not apply agency is because IF an angel is speaking, or a messenger of God is speaking, then that angel or messenger would be delivering the exact words spoken by Yahweh. The messenger would be telling Zion that Yahweh is coming in the flesh, and that would be a clear contradiction in your theology." But for SOME REASON that suggestion just keeps getting overlooked, why is that? For thus says the LORD of hosts, "After glory He has sent Me against the nations which plunder you, for he who touches you, touches the apple of His eye. For behold, I will wave My hand over them so that they will be plunder for their slaves. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me. Sing for joy and be glad, O daughter of Zion; for behold I am coming and I will dwell in your midst," declares the LORD. "Many nations will join themselves to the LORD in that day and will become My people Then I will dwell in your midst, and you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me to you." -- Zechariah 2:8-11, NASB May I submit to you, it is Yahweh speaking, the pre-incarnate Son, the Eternal Word, a distinct Person from the dad ('...He [dad] has sent Me [Jesus] against the nations'). And look what Yahweh goes on to proclaim, "'...Sing for joy and be glad, O daughter of Zion; for behold I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,' declares the LORD." Also, refer to the prophetic Book of Zechariah, chapter 14, which is about Christ's triumphant return. It says, 'Behold, a day is coming for the LORD when the spoil taken from you will be divided among you. For I will gather every the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the houses plundered, the women ravished and half of the city exiled, but the relax of the people will not be clip off from the city. Then the LORD will go forth and battle against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle. In that day HIS [Who's feet? The feet of the 'LORD'] FEET WILL STAND ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west by a very big valley, so that half of the mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the south. You will flee by the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains will reach to Azel; yes, you will flee just as you fled before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah Then the LORD, my God, will arrive, and every the holy ones with Him!' Cross reference with Isaiah 29:6, which says, '...the LORD Almighty will arrive with thunder and earthquake and great noise, with windstorm and tempest and flames of a devouring flame.' Isaiah 29 gives a very descriptive account of the battle that Zechariah 14, and Revelation 19 talk about. Revelation 16:19 it states, 'The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath.' I like the way Scofield Study Bible puts it, 'In both passages the context, as in Zechariah 14:1-3 associates the earthquake with the Gentile invasion below the Beast ; Daniel 7:8 ; Revelation 19:20 . Surely, in a land seamed by seismic disturbances it should not be difficult to believe that another earthquake might cleave the little hill called the Mount of Olives. Not one of the associated events of Zech. 14 occurred at the first coming of Christ, closely associated though He then was with the Mount of Olives.' Never did I imply that Jesus was greater than the dad.

Open Question: Is my Immortality Machine Correct?
In my innovation I utilize a beast of a nano laser to focus atoms to rotate a spherical superconductor. Followed by a spherical chamber for a sustained creation chamber for Dark matter or other sub-atomic particle at 70 GV as an offset for the 4-space distortion from the space displacement. The matter is created by an ongoing contained sustained expulsion to created WIMPS to shield the person in the middle chamber from space displacement but not time displacement. The nano laser is powered by fusion. The middle chamber is as big as a Hospital or home or car whereby food can be created and regenerated such as the space station. The spheres are separated by 3 electrostatic barrings, the first for set for the superconductor sphere the second set for the explosion of the radiation to protect the person from the space distortion within the the first set. the third to protect the person from the from the radiation energy but not the space distortion in the inner most par of the machine. The inner sphere is made of guide and the person wears a space suit the last of the seven seals Book of Revelation reveled. The electrostatic barring is utilized in between the spheres of superconductor rotation. for light speed rotation, it is not used as a barrier. This is for Time to slow down to 99.99%. This machine is based on Special Relativity and introduces nano-lasers and gravitomagnetism and radio-isotopic atomic activity as a protection shield for 4-space distortion.

We know from the Book of Revelation that some great cataclysm is coming, and as it draws nearer, we are warned not to be misled. Jesus vividly portrayed how obvious His return would be: "Just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west, so shall the coming of the Son of Man be." So as you watch the news and the millennium approaches, keep your "baloney detectors" alert! Will Bible codes become an important tool in the apologetic toolkit of evangelical Christians?

Resolved Question: Is Glenn Beck the Antichrist?
The Bible tells us that the Antichrist has tried to establish his hold on Earth numerous times, but every time he is thwarted by God's people. We are also warned that eventually, the unholy one manages to overcome the faithful. Something happens to keep God's people from stopping the him. Matthew 24:24 tells us that the Antichrist will claim to be filled with the Holy Spirit. He will proclaim his piety and his desire to restore God's creation. The name of Beck's receive together in DC—Restoring Honor Rally. II Thessalonians 2 warns us that the Antichrist will be a man who the masses of people adore and turn to for relief from their collective miseries. Is there a more perfect description of Glenn Beck or his followers? Revelation 13 tells us that the Antichrist will be BOTH a political and religious figure. Again, does this description fit the great Beck or what? Revelation 19:20 The Antichrist comes from a Christian religion that is a perverts the Gospel. Beck is a Mormon, a religion that believes The Book of Mormon is a more complete accounting of the Gospel than the Bible. Revelation 17 warns us that the Antichrist will bring the religions of the world together. The day before the Restoring Honor Rally, Glenn Beck has arranged for clergy from every religion to join him in a day of prayer in order to unite the their followers in the "spirit." Revelation 17 again we are told that the Antichrist will believe it his calling to talk and tutor. He will use teachers, news outlets, and every other communication means to distribute his lies. He will be a gifted, talented speaker who evokes passion in his followers, relying on emotion more than reason. Glenn Beck uses this tactic like a pro, crying on queue and feigning outrage over "unjust" political issues. II Thessalonians 2 cautions the faithful that the Antichrist will promise miracles, and then use them to demonstrate how God is working through him. Glenn Beck is promising miracles at his rally. Revelation 13 gives us a physical clue about the identity of the Antichrist. I am thinking that he has political ambitions, like Hitler and Napoleon. If he gets it, I wonder if he will cause turmoil in the world.

Voting Question: An intro and a preface at the beginning of my book?
My book starts with a tiny preface centering on the action of the story. In this case, the final battle. But of course, I try to shadow the character's names cause I don't want people to know what's the BIG surprise at the end; the revelation of the villain. The preface is then followed by an intro which opens up the story through the eyes of the main character (this intro is written in past tense though the book is written in gift). You receive some insight in the lives of the main family and their struggles. Then, the story starts in chapter one. The question is, will having an action packed preface followed by an intro on the main character's life bore the reader (agent), to death? PS: The preface is pretty little (as said before), while the intro is just a page long. Is this still too much?

Resolved Question: Christians, does "Pascal's Wager" apply to works vs grace.?
In some passages in the bible it seems to say you are saved by "easy grace", but in others you are judged solely by your works, such as in the "Book of Life". Using Pascal's Wager, then Christians ought go by faith AND go by works. If it is the case that Yahweh judges you by your works, and you do good works, then you go to heaven. If you do NOT do works, then your probability of going to heaven is greatly diminished. If it is the case that Yahweh judges you by your faith, and you have faith, then you go to heaven. If you do not have faith, then your probability of going to heaven is greatly diminished. So, if one is a christian, they ought to go by works AND faith. If this is the case, then why is the Christian doctrine for the majority that Yahweh only requires faith, which is based on :"easy grace?" This concept promotes promotes the LACK of good works and the idea that murder, adultery, rape etc. are actions which one can repent, and Jesus has already "paid" for those "sins" with "easy grace," and they therefore go to heaven despite their "bad" works, which is contradictory to the "Book of Life" which states you are "solely" judged by your works. (and no, that does not apply to the "apostates or unbelievers" it applies to "everyone", including non-christians. "And I saw the dead, tiny and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works." Revelations 20:12 Planet shaker--that is "Humpty Dumpty Semantics where you make it mean whatever you want it to mean. It says no where that the passage in Revelations applies to unbelievers....it only says the DEAD. mm--so no one can co anything to gain gods approval (you can rape murder etc the...) because as long as you have "faith" you have the grace of god. Nope.....still doesn't work, and it still means that you can do every kinds of heinous things.....as long as you have "faith" HT--I am well versed in Pascal....I am a philosopher. This is merely a new "take" on it.

Resolved Question: Who said we don't have to follow the Old Testament?
Give scriptures please. Tell me the reason why we don't have to follow the commandments or the law... Tell me why we can sin as much as we want and still ask Jesus for forgiveness. Doesn't the defy the point of being saved? So your telling me, if i killed everyone in the world, I would still go to heaven if I believed in Jesus? Don't make me giggle... Revelation 20:12 "I saw the dead, both great and tiny, standing before God's throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books." It says they were judged according to there actions... not there beliefs. I'm still learning the law. The point is to try and follow the law and when you mess up, repent. Otherwise, you don't gain God's favor. You would every be amazed if you picked up a Bible and actually read it.

Resolved Question: Christians, why some believe that the European Union have a connection to the Book of Revelation?
Why? Just because the stars represent the Virgin of Mary? If you know the history of the European Union's flag........ 1. It doesn't represent the Virgin of Mary at every. The creator inspired her because of the stars around her, not herself. 2. The original draft of the flag was 15 stars, not twelve. The 12 stars was final canonized two years later. 3. In speaking of the Council of Europe, which is different and separate of the European Union, the flag was once stand for it than the European Union. Then later, the flag is now share by the European Union. Another note: How in the world that the Roman Catholic church will join the European Union? European is the most secular continent in the world. Hardly, people go the church, despite their affiliation of their denomination. The European Union declared that the biblical reference is a MYTH!! So, why christians still believe that the European Union have a connection to the last days of Jesus? Do christians know that there are other political organizations similar to the European Union in around the world? Are they have a connection to the last days of Jesus, too?

There is a music video featuring a rock/metal/alternative band I think maybe from the tardy 90's through early 2000's. I remember the music video being a 3D animation (wich was somewhat new at the time) and I remember it featured a futuristic "Gabriel" , yes the one from the Book of Revelations and he was fighting different robots wich represented the monster/demons from the book of revelations. It was quite a good tune and video. Anyone have any answers ?

Open Question: Jehovah Witnesses, did you know about Proverbs 8?
Often times it is argued by Jehovah Witnesses that Colossians 1:15, Revelation 3:14, and Proverbs 8 proves Jesus is created. I've responded about Colossians 1:15 ( http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AreAt1vj8fUOjJ_KLuqvZFHty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20100826184934AAp8OQL ), and Revelation 3:14 ( http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AreAt1vj8fUOjJ_KLuqvZFHty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20100826184749AAN78M0 ), so now I thought I'd point out the mistake of Proverbs 8. Proverbs 8, is speaking about lady wisdom. The entire book of Proverbs is speaking about lady wisdom. You have language such as, 'Wisdom shouts in the road, She lifts her voice in the square; At the head of the noisy streets she cries out; At the entrance of the gates in the city she utters her sayings: How long, O naive ones, will you adore being simple-minded? And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing And fools hate knowledge?' Notice the use of 'she,' and 'her' in reference to 'wisdom' throughout the the span of the book of Proverbs, chapters 1 through 9.

Resolved Question: As the world mourns the fall of Democracy in America are the Liberals proud of their Communist agenda?
World Mourns As Communist Darkness Falls Upon America Posted by EU Times on Mar 22nd, 2010 // 602 Comments Obama is a Communist In what is being described as one of the most astounding power grabs in modern history by newspaper headlines around the World, President Obama has succeeded in his audacious plan to remake America into a full fledged godless communist empire barely one year into his term with the enactment into law by the US Congress of his mammoth health care plan innocuously named H.R. 3200-Americas Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009 and described by one Kremlin legal expert as having “nothing at every to do with health, but everything to do with control.” To fully grasp the full and grim implications of Obama’s power grab over the American people with his Nationalization of the United States entire health care industry and student loan programme accomplished with the passing of this new law, it must be remembered that since taking office on January 20, 2009 he has also taken over their automobile, mortgage, and banking industries too with the Internet said being next “in his sights”. More insidious than these takeovers that have been destroying America’s once vibrant capitalistic system is the new regime these once free peoples are now destined to live below, and where below their new health care law will require every of them to carry a National ID card (page 58) and allow their government unlimited access to every of their bank accounts and personal records (page 159). And in a chilling instance of the ancient prophecies for these time of “The Mark of the Beast” becoming reality, the National ID card every of the American people will now be required to possess (regardless of age) is to be combined with their new government ID card below their upcoming new immigration laws allowing them to work and is biometrically designed to “read” the backs of their hands. [Note: According to the Christian Bibles Book of Revelations, the ancients warned of a future time when everyone, both tiny and great, wealthy and needy, free or slave, would receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads which without they would not be able buy or sell anything.] http://www.eutimes.net/2010/03/world-mourns-as-communist-darkness-falls-upon-america/

Resolved Question: Using Movies/Books About the Rapture?
When I was a teenager back in the early 1980s, I was invited to church to look a series of low budget movies about the rapture of the church. You can movies like A THIEF IN THE NIGHT, A DISTANT THUNDER, IMAGE OF THE BEAST AND THE PRODIGAL PLANET on youtube.com or other similar video clip sites. I recall how scared I was at the thought that the rapture was going to take place in my lifetime and that I better receive ready to meet the Lord or else receive left behind. A few years ago, a new set of rapture movies (Left Behind series) has been responsible for leading thousands to the Lord. However, I find such movies to be scare tactics used by the church to scare people into salvation. Is this really the best way to draw people into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and thus be saved? I believe that the books of Daniel and Revelation have been used through the years to make the church richer than it should be. Your thoughts?

Voting Question: God the son and God the father; doesn't make sense?
Hello I have noticed that most people pray to Jesus (that would be God the son, or the son of man). But I grew up every my life until I was about 25 years old thinking that we every supposed to pray to God the dad. I thought that God the dad was the one that done the work to make things happen. In the 'Book of revelation' it talks about a showdown event with Jesus coming to judge the world. People talk about worshiping Jesus, and then talk about what Jesus has done to keep the world and so on. I hear very little about God the dad. Curiously absolutely no one prays to God the holy spirit; the hold spirit may as well not exist; when you consider how much communication, work and involve people and it has had in our reality. I am totally confused by the whole business. CREED

Resolved Question: If Jesus was the final prophet, then what was John (the Revelator)?
Many claim that there are no more prophets because Jesus finished the work. For those who believe that, then, 1 - Was John (who wrote Revelation, the final book of the Bible) a true prophet? 2 - Was this same John a untrue prophet? 3 - Is the belief misplaced and based on man-made teachings? 4 - Is there some other answer that explains the inconsistency between the two concepts and if so, what is it? Item 4 also takes into account that the whole thing is bogus. every answers that respond to the question are valid. I know that Muhammad is considered to be the last prophet by Islam, but this mostly is about Christianity. Many people have, in responses to other questions (including those dealing with Muhammad) make the claim that it is every finished with Jesus. I saw a question a while back and many responses said that "it is finished" means there will be no more prophets. After reading the responses, I had to ask, In response to my question, several said that John wasn't a prophet... so what was he?

Resolved Question: Who asked the question about The Catcher in the Rye? (II)?
I don't know if you've gotten to page thirty-eight yet, but page thirty eight is the first time Holden really lets it out of the bag what's really going on with him. The answer to why every those quotes are significant, and you're right, they are, is there. There's one major thing that drives the whole story, and it's something that a lot of people miss. Or I should say it drives Holden, because it is the reason behind almost everything he does and has been doing for years. It's why he's flunking out of school, and it's why he hates that his older brother has gone to Hollywood, and it's the reason he thinks, like he said, 'nobody notices anything.' I don't exactly want to spoil the surprise, so I'm giving you the chance to cease reading before I receive to it, so if you want you can keep it till later. Okay, here goes. ON page thirty eight, Holden tells us what's really bothering him. His younger brother died a couple of years back. No one knows how to help him, even his parents, and what's worse is no one seems to care. It's why he's so miffed at people in general, because, 'nobody notices anything.' He does a classic seventeen year old boy thing. He minimizes what really bothers him the most. He puts on a tough front, an act. He may be a phony in his possess way, but the truth is he's doing the very best with the bad situation he's in. He sees people around him who don't care, morons, he calls them, phonies, and he hates them, because they don't care about anything that really matters in life. every they care about are appearances. But here's this boy having to deal with a real problem, and everybody just wants to ignore it. Ignore it, and ignore him. Nobody takes him seriously. And when he finally breaks down and acts out to the ultimate degree, running away from home, talking about killing himself, every his parents do is send him to a mental hospital every the way on the other side of the country, which is the last thing he wants. every he wants is to be around his little sister, and his brother, and the family he has left. It's really unhappy. Now you can understand the significance of the statement, 'I was trying to feel for some nice of good-bye.' Really what he's talking about is his brother. It's why a good-bye is so important to him. Allie, the coolest little kid on earth, according to Holden, was taken from him suddenly, and he has no idea what to do about it. His whole world is ripped apart, and he can't cope. Later in the book, pay attention to where the Title comes from. You'll look where Salinger uses that title to alert you to something major. Holden has this waking dream about being someone who 'saves kids from falling off cliffs,' and what it's about is doing something important to him. It sounds like gibberish the way he says it, but really he's speaking out of his heart. He wishes he could have saved his brother. And what's more, right before he has this little revelation...well...just remember the name James Cassel, and pay attention. James Cassel. You'll look the connection as long as you keep in mind what I've already told you. I wish you like Catcher. Judging from what you've already said, you will. That's one reason I took so much time to write to you about it, because you sound like a smart kid, somebody who cares enough to have compassion for Holden. You're not one of the 'morons' he talks about in the book. The real key to understanding Holden is knowing he's a teenage boy who's having a difficult time dealing with his feelings, like most teenagers. But in his case it's much worse. Then there's every the good stuff about him trying to decide what he actually wants to do with his life, which reminds me of the dilemma in Good Will Hunting. You should check that out sometime, too.

Resolved Question: Why are these two inspirations of God so different?
All scripture is inspired by God, right? It's true then. The Bible starts off with the Jews as being the chosen people. However, with the choosing of the cannon, every but five altered Jewish books were removed from the Bible among every the other books the 'scholars' took out. I believe the Bible is the word of God, but merely an outline. Jewish books, however, have been passed down from Moses and the teachings agree with everything God has revealed to me personally through visions. However, some of these visions I had contradict some warped church doctrine, but not the Bible. The Jewish doctrine backs up my visions though. Something tells me that the Jewish books were included in the original Bible. One such revelation I had was that 'Satan' is another name for the left-hand side of God: goats go to the left, sheep to the right, and that Jesus Christ is the right-hand side, God unlimited. The Jewish doctrine agrees that any force created by someone that has authority to change God's will is keeping that individual from God because God is one and there are none others besides Him. I take the side of the Jews on this because God revealed to me Himself this principle. God gives with His right hand and takes away with His left hand. That really explains a lot of questions I've had for my entire Christian walk. I've been wondering how an bad god and a good god are in Christian doctrine. Another contradiction is of free will. I'm taking the side of the Jews on this as well. Our instinct is our predestination. Those who rebel do so in illusion, but are still predestined. So, yes, it's good to believe in the right-hand of God which we call Jesus Christ, but it's wrong to take power from God by creating other deities that can 'change the will of God.' Doing that places another 'god' beside the dad and that's idolatry. I then had a message from God that the godhead is like one machine with multiple 'parts.' Yeah, those 'parts' are right-hand, left-hand and head. The Jewish doctrine says that there's one God, but the salvation truth in Jewish doctrine is basically congruent, being the same truth that Jesus taught. Freedom, however, is bestowed when transformation is attained. Jesus told us how to attain free will by saying "Know the truth and the truth will set you free." Of course, the 'scholars' who arranged the paragraphs of the Bible didn't let us know what that means. They changed the truth of God into a mystery which is major disrespect to God. You can look from observing a cat that it's predestined for the outdoors. Predestination is what entraps us until God sets us free via His right hand. We, as humans, can trap cats inside, but we pay for it. I believe the cat still enjoys life in the home, but only at times. Anyway, the energy is balanced and the predestination remains in the cat. That's why cats run away. This means that the Christian church has really went astray. The Bible taken without any doctrine actually lines up with Jewish doctrine if Jesus is God's right hand and Satan as God's left hand. God gives and takes away -- that's in the Bible. Know the truth and the truth shall set you free -- that's in the Bible. Jesus sits at the right hand is in the Bible. Sheep go right and goats go to the left of God is in the Bible. I didn't mention this, but "The kingdom of God is withing you and among you" is also in the Bible. There's many more similarities. I suppose you can call me a messianic Jew now.

Open Question: Why would any Christian interpret Rev. 9:11 as Jesus being Apollyon / Abaddon, the angel of the Abyss?
Revelation 9 says a star, fallen from heaven, unlocks a hoard of locusts from the smoking Abyss, with, “as king over them, the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon.” 'The Interpreter's Bible' says Abaddon is not an angel of Satan, but of God, performing God's work of destruction at his bidding. However, it never equates such an angel with Jesus Christ! But the Watchtower Society does. Further, Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that the fallen star is also the king who comes out of this Abyss, who is Jesus Christ. They have long claimed Jesus to be a created angel (normally called ‘Michael’ by them). Now, here are my concerns. JWs identify anointed JWs in the 20th century as being the locusts. Do the JWs not realise that the Roman emperor Domitian had as his patron god Apollo, who was symbolised by the locust? Of course, if anointed JWs call themselves the locust from the smoking pit, that would explain a lot - but not the way they try to explain it! Abaddon means ‘destruction’ and is often teamed up with death (look Job 28:22 & Ps. 88:11), and is called the Destroyer (look 1 Cor. 10:10 - the destroying angel of death). Notice how the prince of demons is linked with Satan in the Gospels? (look Mark 3:22-26, Mat. 12:24-27, Luke 11:15-18). The devil is identified as 'the prince of this world' in John 12:31, 14:30 & 16:11 and as the prince of the power of the air (Eph 2:2). My main concern, though, is associating Jesus Christ with this fallen star and king of this plague of locusts, and with being but a created angel. The JW 'Insight' book tries to identify Christ - the source of life, the light of the world, and the builder of the Church - with death, darkness and destruction. What do Christians make of this? Re. the answer that said, "explain why God would use a demon to be his representative as you say this angel is" - I did NOT say this angel is a demon! I quoted the Interpreter's Bible before you did! Some Christians think this angel is from God and not a demon. They may be correct. What I HAVE said is that this angel cannot be Jesus Christ! Another answerer interprets the locusts representing Christians alive at the 'rapture'. Very interesting, but I know JWs despise this rapture teaching. I wish they would check it out for themselves. But they are lumbered with their leaders' interpretations and so must agree that these locusts are today's 'remnant' of the 144,000 who are already doing the prophetic work in Rev. 9. And yes, God uses demonic elements to do his will - they gather the nations to Armageddon. But I'm not saying that either the star (angel) that falls from heaven, or the king from the abyss is a demon. I'm questioning JWs saying he's Jesus Christ.

Resolved Question: Why do muslims claim that the quran, unlike the Bible, came directly from heaven when we know for sure that?
muhammad was illiterate and was made to memorize whatever the 'spirit' he claimed to be angel gabriel said to him? (He had to recite whatever he memorized to the people who knew how to write so they could write the 'revelations' down). We also know that he had seizures and went into trances and would mutter things which the people around him had to struggle to write down or memorize (if palm leaves, goat skins, bones, etc were not handy for them to write) The Books of the Bible on the other hand, were revealed in an orderly manner. e.g. Revelations 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth

Resolved Question: Most interesting book or person in the New Testament to do a report on?
I am taking a college course called Introduction to the New Testament and the biggest grade of the semester is a minimum 5 page (double spaced, 12 point font, Times New Roman, MLA format). The paper is to be over either a book of the New Testament or a person from the New Testament. As an additional restriction, it cannot be written on the books Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts,or Revelations. As for people, it cannot be written on Jesus or Paul. So, to my questions (there are two). First question, what would be the EASIEST book or person from the New Testament, excluding those mentioned over, to write a 5 page paper on? Second question, what would be the MOST INTERESTING book or person from the New Testament, excluding those mentioned over, to write a 5 page paper on? I appreciate the help of anyone who gives a suggestion.
