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)

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 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 ...

“Jesus Not Coming Back By The Looks Of It” Admits Vatican

-
Image
A SPOKESPERSON for the Vatican has officially announced today that the second coming of Jesus, the only son of the God, may not happen now after all , but urged followers to still continue with their faith, regardless of the news. Cardinal Giorgio Salvadore told WWN that this years 1,981st anniversary is to be the Vatican’s last in regards to waiting for the Lord to return to Earth. “We just feel Jesus is not coming back by the looks of it.” he said. “It’s been ages like. He’s probably flat out doing other really good things for people somewhere else.” Nearly two thousand years ago, Jesus promised his disciples that he would come again in chapter John 14:1-3 of the bible: “There are many homes up where my Father lives, and I am going to prepare them for your coming. When everything is ready, then I will come and get you, so that you can always be with Me where I am. If this weren’t so, I would tell you plainly” The Vatican defended Jesus’ broken promise, claiming “he ...

Eye of Horus Meaning

-
Image
Certain mythological struggles between the god Horus and his uncle Seth made the eye of Horus symbolize the whole, that which has returned to its being and has been completed. The  ancient Egyptians  called it Udjat, wadjet or wedjat. This narration tells how Horus had to fight fiercely with his uncle Seth to avenge the death of his father Osiris. In the battle Horus lost his left eye, which was damaged or stolen by Seth, having to be replaced by the Udjat. Eye of Horus meaning: Horus’s left eye was related to the Moon, while his right eye was identified with the sun. The connection point between the Udjat and the Moon is due to a version of the myth that tells that the injured eye had to be healed and rebuilt by the  god  Thoth. The healing process was perceived in nature through the lunar phases, that is, the Moon modified its appearance when it was in a trance of healing and the Full Moon appeared when the Eye of Horus was completely healed. ...

The 5 Hidden Teachings Of Kemetic Yoga Every Initiate Should Know

-
Image
Share Tweet Subscribe Pinterest Kemetic Yoga has been practiced for thousands of years as a way to refine the mind, body, and spirit of the African Spirituality Initiate. The West has popularized (and commercialized) Ayurvedic style yoga, its postures, and its health benefits. But when it came to the practice of postures, our ancestors in Kemet called the exercise Tjef Sema Paut Neteru which means “Movements to promote union with the gods and goddesses”. To them, yoga was far more than physical exercise – it was a path to Ascension. Kemetic Yoga’s Stolen Legacy There has been a debate in the Black Conscious community as to whether Kemetic Yoga is just a knock-off version of Indian Yoga. While the world has accepted this claim to be true, students of Black Consciousness are encouraged to look deeper at the origins real yoga practice. The word yoga itself comes from the Sanskrit root “yuj,” (pron. “yug”) meaning “to join”, “to unite” or “to subjugate”. Yoga is w...

Reflections on The 42 Laws Of MA'AT

-
Image
If you have been in the Black conscious community for any length of time, you have heard the term ma’at used. Ma’at is the daughter of Ra – Supreme God of Kemetic culture – and is the goddess of truth, justice, divine order, and cosmic balance. Her polar opposite, Set, is the God of darkness and chaos. Therefore, when we discuss ma’at, we are discussing the opposite of destructive force. Ma’at is often shown with wing and carries an ankh, the key of life. So important were the principles of order and cosmic balance to the rulers of Kemet that they would often carry an image of Ma’at seated as a sign that the Pharaoh represented her regime. Judges in Kemet also wore an emblem of Ma’at on their chest, and all those who would become a part of society in Kemet were urged to seek Ma’at. Invoking the goddess Ma’at is appropriate for righting wrongs and to help truth and understanding emerge from any situation. Invoking Ma’at also brings one back to the primal beginnings...

Your Mind Is Your God – Worship And Use It

Image
He who thinks critically and utilizes his MIND well will one day become an IDOL to those who don’t. “He who thinks critically and utilizes his MIND well will one day become an IDOL to those who don’t.” My dear friend and reader, please never live through any day without making use of your million dollar asset – your MIND. Put that mind of yours to the test. Put in it high places. Put it rough places. Test its ability to elevate you from your current status in life. Your mind is the only property you possess that will function at 100% efficiency till you die. So why do you say to your mind, “Don’t worry – God is in control” or “Don’t think too much,  tomorrow  will think for itself”. Why do you deceive yourself so oh mortal man? Why do you reject the tool the creator has given you to make your own paradise? You have been made a god and somehow you have reduced yourself to something below your worth. Who told you  tomorrow  will think for itself? Or that...

The Black Man Is God And Other Teachings Of The 5 Percent Nation

-

The 5 Percent Nation, also known as the Nation of Gods and Earths teach that the Black man is GOD, ALLAH, and supreme. But is this the truth? If the Black man is God, how do you explain his position in the world today? The 5 Percent Nation Teach That The Black Man Is The Original Man For decades, the 5 Percent Nation taught that the Black man is the Original man. Those who didn’t understand their message dismissed the claim as pseudoscience. But today, all scientific evidence points to Africa as the cradle of humankind. Anthropologists confirm that there is indeed a  genetic “Adam”  – the first human man described in the Bible – who came out of Africa as far back as 300,000 years ago. Scientists came to this conclusion by tracing the Y chromosomes of hundreds of thousands of men from around the world. Their findings also revealed that the first “human” was a woman. “You can ultimately trace every female lineage back to a single Mitochondrial Eve who li...

5 Forms Of Meditation For African Spirituality And How To Do Them

-
Image
Meditation is as old as African spirituality itself. Almost every religion on the planet uses meditation as a tool for spiritual fortification and communion with the infinite. Some forms of meditation focus on the body, while others help the initiate draw closer to the Most High. The one thing that all forms of meditation have in common is that they address the worst part of the human condition: the mind. One of the most difficult concepts for new initiates to overstand is that you are not your thoughts. You are the consciousness that observes those thoughts. You are the thinker, not the thought. The mind in its natural state is a wild animal. The thoughts that your mind produce can blind you to nature and reality. If you want to truly gain Consciousness, lose your mind. Clouded by past experiences and preconceived notions, the mind can cause depression, confusion, and can lead to physical illness. Meditation can help you tame the wild animal that is your mind. ...
