... Heb 13:14 For here we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking the city which is to come We are earthbound guests with a heavenly destination. Phil 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Ti 4:18 The Lord will deliver me from every evil deed, and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom; The Christian's citizenship is in heaven not on the earth. JW's cleverly devise a two class system. The governing body, or the 144,000 do get to go to heaven exactly like the rest of Orthodox Christendom believes, the rest of the JW's get stuck on the restored garden paradise on the earth.

| 5: | Scientology: Hubbard and the Occult ... Jacobsen quotes from the third century Christain gnostic Valentinus: "For many spirits dwell in it [the body] and do not permit it to be pure; each of them brings to fruition its own works, and they treat it abusively by means of unseemly desires". Jacobsen goes on to cite the gnostic Basilides, man "preserves the appearance of a wooden horse, according to the poetic myth, embracing as he does in one body a host of such different spirits." Jacobsen points out that multiple possession seems to have been considered normal by these gnostics. Possession equates to madness in orthodox Christianity, and examples of multiple possession are rare (the Gadarene swine for example). Jacobsen draws other interesting parallels between gnosticism and Scientology.

| 6: | Bible Prophecy Fulfilled ... Instead God told us to repent and be baptized and he expected us to obey his silence by not adding a new requirement like circumcision. One additional point is that instrumental music in church worship is prohibited on exactly the same grounds as gentile circumcision. Both were commanded in the Old Testament, but God is silent on both in the New Testament. All nine times Christians are commanded to "sing" not play instruments. Instrumental music was banned in all first century Jewish synagogues and the Orthodox church has practiced acappella worship without instruments from Pentecost down to the present. The Roman Catholic church introduced instrumental music in AD 790 in one church, which let to the churches severing into two different communions of fellowship in AD 1054.

| 8: | Exodus Route: Men who misled the world away from truth ... Queen Helena (Constantine's mother) 325 AD: Mt. Sinai in modern Sinai Peninsula 1. Helena chose Mt. Musa at St. Catherine's monastery inside the Sinai Peninsula. Although it is found on every Bible map today this location is almost universally rejected by informed archeologists and Bible students alike. a. Helena chose Mt. Musa at St. Catherine's monastery based upon a vision she saw in a dream. b. Helena chose many sites in the Bible lands, most of which we know today were wrong. 2. Unfortunately, the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches have decreed that Mt. Sinai is located at St. Catherine's monastery which closes the door and the mind to considering alternatives because then their "divine illumination" is proven false.

In similar fashion, we may want to deny that the passage speaks primarily to ontological issues regarding the nature of the Trinity, but it would appear futile to deny that Phil. 2:5-7 has some strong implications for these issues.

| 14: | Historical overview of Psychiatry: 1550 BC - 2010 AD ... Notice Farmer rejects demon possession and instead calls it a "disorder". Farmer almost stands alone as a church preacher for first equating demon possession with the diseases like common cold, and second for viewing insanity as having a physical/biological cause. It seems he may have been strongly influenced by William Battie and John Monro, who took the same view. What is important to point out, is that he correctly rejected the idea that insanity was caused by supernatural demon possession. In this regard, he was orthodox among his fellow church preachers. Supernatural demon possession is real, but it has never been the cause of insanity.

If this is the case, however, the event described by Peter is clearly stated in the report to have occurred at the Cruci-fixion. A third possibility is that the so-called report is a late Christian "forgery." If this is correct, there must have been a tradition that at the Crucifixion the moon appeared like blood: to what extent this document is an invention is unimportant in this context, it is the terminology employed that is, however, significant. Further evidence is provided by Cyril of Alexandria, the orthodox Patriarch of Alexandria in A.D. 412. After stating that there was dark-ness at the Crucifixion he adds, "Something unusual occurred about the circular rotation of the moon so that it even seemed to be turned into blood," and notes that the prophets foretold such signs.32 It is concluded that the "Report of Pilate" and the words of Cyril may be used as secondary supporting evidence that the moon appeared like blood on the evening of the Crucifixion."

Thutmoses III, low chronology: If "heliacal rising" of the Dog Star was observed from Thebes, then low chronology is correct and Thutmoses III would be the pharaoh of the Exodus because his reign falls between 1450 - 1440 BC. Amenhotep II, high chronology: If "heliacal rising" of the Dog Star was observed from Memphis, then low chronology is correct and Amenhotep II would be the pharaoh of the Exodus because his reign falls between 1450 - 1440 BC. Our low Chronology is remarkably orthodox, but there is one difference. We can precisely pinpoint the Exodus of 1446 with the 18th year of Pharaoh Thutmoses III.
