Hell does not exist, says Pope

-

“There is no hell where the souls of sinners suffer in eternity”,


Pope Francis was quoted as saying in a Thursday interview with Italian daily La Repubblica.
Francis said: “after death, the souls of people who repent are pardoned by God and join in his contemplation,
“but those who do not repent, and therefore cannot be pardoned, disappear.”
“Hell does not exist – what exists is the disappearance of sinful souls,” he added.
The pope was interviewed by Eugenio Scalfari, a veteran Italian journalist and atheist who regularly muses about
faith and religion, and enjoys access to the leader of the Catholic Church.
In the past, the veracity of quotes he attributed to the pope has been called into question, especially after
the 93-year-old Scalfari admitted to never using a tape recorder during interviews.
However, the Vatican has never complained about Scalfari’s work, and Francis has continued giving interviews
to him. (dpa/NAN)

The Vatican Removed 14 Books From the Bible In 1684 With No Real Explanation

-
Image
Typically when the Bible is brought up in conversation, what comes to mind is a source of truth that has not been tampered with. However, when this book was originally published it contained 80 books and current editions only have 66, and we have to wonder what exact purpose the removal of 14 books would serve? The Vatican Church or Roman catholic church has been associated with deception for ages. Their atrocities have ranged from  genocide  many centuries ago against the Cathars to  child molestation  is more recent years. The Bible was originally translated from Latin into English in 1611. This “original” Bible contained 80 books, including the Apocrypha, which means hidden. These  Apocrypha books made up the end of the Old Testament, and included the following books: • 1 Esdras • 2 Esdras • Tobit • Judith • The rest of Esther • The Wisdom of Solomon • Ecclesiasticus • Baruch with the epistle Jeremiah • The Songs of the...

Why Black Christians May Be Shocked To Learn Who The Real Father of Christianity Is

-
Image
It is no secret that Christianity has been used as a tool for world domination and white supremacy. Therefore, in understanding the world around us we must also understand how Christianity was altered and used by Europeans to conquer the world. Christianity as you know it and practice it was not ‘created’ by Christ, but by a Roman Emperor – Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus Augustus. You know him as Constantine. Constantine’s Rise To Power Constantine was a vice-Caesar to Emperor Diocletian in the East. His father, Constantinus, was a Caesar under Emperor Maximinian who had won a number of battles and had earned the loyalty of a large part of the Roman military in the West. When Constantinus died suddenly in 306, the loyalty of the Army would pass to his son Constantine. In 303, Emperor Diocletian had begun one of the worst persecutions of Christians in history. Christians were fed to beasts as entertainment for the Roman masses, their churches were destroyed, their ...

Vatican In Shock As 1,500-Year-Old Bible Claims Jesus Wasn’t Crucified

-
Image
An approximately 1,500-2,000-year-old Bible found in Turkey has left the Vatican in shock because it allegedly confirms that Jesus Christ wasn’t crucified as has come to be widely believed. The Bible, which was discovered in 2000 and kept in secret in Ankara’s Ethnography Museum, contains the gospel of Jesus’ disciple Barnabas. The gospel claims that Christ was  neither crucified  nor was he God’s son. Instead, it says he was just a prophet. The book also refers to Apostle Paul as “The Impostor” and further claims that Christ ascended back to heaven alive, with Judas Iscariot being crucified in his place. The now controversial book was recovered during an operation in the Mediterranean-area as authorities went against a gang that smuggles antiquities and illegal explosives, says a report by The National Turk. The old book is currently valued at a whopping 40 million Turkish Liras, approximately $28 million. Experts and religious bodies have examined the book an...

The Cowrie Shell: Monetary and Symbolic Value

The cowrie — or cowry — shell was one of the most successful and universal forms of currency in the world. In West Africa though, the humble shell worked its way into the cultural fiber, taking on a deeper symbolic and ritualistic meaning that has never been entirely lost. Yoruba  Ibeji Male and Female Dolls dressed in cowrie shells. ( Source ) Cowrie Shells as Currency The attractive white shell has all the characteristics required of money: easy to handle and carry around due to its light weight, non-perishable, good for small and large purchases. Its shape makes it instantly recognizable and difficult to forge. The cowries also have very little variation in size and form, which makes them easy to count. They were often threaded into bracelets or long strings of forty, or packed into pouches to form greater quantities. For large payments, the shells could be tossed into baskets and weighed to determine their value. 40 cowries made 1 string, 50 strings made 1 hea...

4 African Kings Who Ruled India That Have Been Erased From History

“…The darkest man is here the most highly esteemed and considered better than the others who are not so dark. Let me add that in very truth these people portray and depict their gods and their idols black and their devils white as snow. For they say that God and all the saints are black and the devils are all white. That is why they portray them as I have described.” – Marco Polo,after visiting the Pandyan Kingdom in 1288 More than a thousand years before the foundations of Greece and Rome, proud and industrious Black men and women known as the Dravidian erected a powerful civilization in the Indus Valley. From those origins, African Kings in India drove the region’s commerce, culture, and belief systems. Dr. Clyde Winters, author of Afrocentrism: Myth or Science? writes: “Ethiopians have had very intimate relations with Indians. In fact, in antiquity the Ethiopians ruled much of India. These Ethiopians were called the Naga. It was the Naga who created Sanskrit. ...

How to Manifest Anything You Want Using Sexual Energy

-
Image
Everything is energy. Sex energy is one of the more powerful forces we possess as physical manifestations of source energy. How do I know, you ask? Think about it, sexual energy literally creates life. These days, due to lack of knowledge and a wave of “sexual liberation”, men and women truly waste energies that when focused in the right direction could yield magnificent results. Now energy cannot be good or evil. Energy is energy. However, it can be utilised with good or bad intentions and it can also be wasted away. Do you know that constant daily masturbation or meaningless hook-up sex involves building up your sexual energies and letting it waste away? There is nothing wrong with that because i’m no prude but those that wish to manifest their desires (whether good or evil, though i’ll always encourage you to do good) should be more selfish and protective of their sexual energies. Remember the basic Law of Attraction formula: desire + intention + strong emotion ...

Knowledge Of Everything In The Universe Is Within You If Only You’d Tap In To Your Own Supreme Circumstance

The answers to the questions you have are already inside of you if you know how to look. “Start living as if you don’t know how to live. Nobody is there to teach you, no guidelines exist. No books exist which say how to do this, how to do that. You are just left alone on an island. Everything is available: Intelligence is within you, instinct is within you, intellect is within you, intuition is within you. Now start moving.” –  OSHO Imagine you are the first human ever to walk the earth. It’s just you and the planet. No one is around to teach you: how to live, how to think, how to eat, etc. There’s no books, instruction manuals or traditions to help show you the way. It’s just you, and your own divine mind. It’s up to you to decide what’s “right” and “wrong”, what’s “good” or “bad”, what’s possible and what’s not possible, what’s necessary and what’s not necessary. All these things can be figured it out inside of yourself without the help of anyone else, I mean, did...

The Government Is Preparing For Spiritual Awakening Of The Original People

The government has been preparing for the day the Original Man/Woman (so-called Black Man and Woman) wake up out of sleep and return to our true divine form. They know who we are, where we came from and what we can do. They’re not getting ready for some green aliens to come out of the sky, they know the Original Man/Woman IS the extraterrestrial that brought supreme knowledge of the universe to this planet as well as other planets. So they are preparing for the day we rise out of these earthly limitations and return to being “Angels”, “Light Beings”, “Gods”, “Super Heroes” or as I like to say, “ multi-dimensional physical manifestations of the infinitely expanding creative force of the universe “.
