“For they provoked Him to anger with their high places, and moved Him to jealousy with their graven images.”
Psalms 78:58

This Cross of Wales will lead the procession for the coronation of King Charles III on May 6, 2023. Embedded in the center are two slivers said to be from the “true cross” on which Jesus was crucified. The slivers were a gift from Pope Francis.

“The Cross of Wales, a new processional cross presented by His Majesty King Charles III as a centenary gift to the Church in Wales, will lead the Coronation procession at Westminster Abbey on 6 May. In a significant ecumenical gesture, the Cross of Wales will incorporate a relic of the True Cross, the personal gift of Pope Francis to His Majesty The King to mark the Coronation.”

“The relics of what is known as the True Cross were given to King Charles by Pope Francis, as a coronation gift…Set into the silver cross will be two small wooden shards, originating from what is claimed to be the cross on which Jesus was crucified. Such relics of the True Cross have been venerated for centuries, with pilgrimages made to churches where they are held. There has also been long-standing skepticism about the volume and authenticity of such relics and whether they could all come from a single cross.”

Which Witch is Which?

October 28, 2022 / By aRockStar / Biblical Light, Historical, Holidays of Man, Top Ten

Halloween and witches go hand-in-hand. Parents dress their kids up as witches, adults dress up as witches and witch hats, brooms and black cats decorate storefronts and house porches. Nowadays people treat the idea of witches as just silly costumes and customs to ‘celebrate’ Halloween. Halloween and witches are not something to be celebrated.

It wasn’t all that long ago when accusations of being a witch were a deadly matter, but those witch accusers are not all that innocent themselves. What we have here is a case of the ‘pot calling the kettle black’ that has resulted in the murder of thousands of innocent men, women and children. Witches, sorcerers and those who practice witchcraft are in fact real people, although their ‘witchcraft’ is not based on reality, just a figment of their imaginations. Ironically, pointy hats are involved, just not the ones you’re thinking of.

Halloween is Pagan!

October 24, 2022 / By Nemisistar / Holidays of Man, Top Ten

Halloween or Hallowe’en is a contraction of “All Hallows’ evening” or “Holy Eve”. It is a celebration observed in many countries on October 31st, the eve of the Western Roman feast of ‘All Saints Day’. It begins the observance of the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering and venerating the Dead. This makes Halloween a pagan/heathen practice.

The Roman Catholic Church acknowledges its connection to Halloween and Halloween celebrations in that they are common in Catholic parochial schools throughout the United States. The question is: What does the LORD God, Creator of Heaven and earth, think about this pagan practice? And what will be the consequences to those who practice it?

Q&A: When Did Jesus Become God?

February 16, 2022 / By aRockStar / Biblical Light, Questions and Answers, Top Ten

The majority of ‘Christian’ denominations believe that Jesus is God. Some say he became God at the moment of his creation inside Mary, the immaculate conception of God by God. Others believe Jesus became God when he was physically born. Still others think it was at his baptism by John the Baptist. If so, John was one powerful guy! And lastly, some point to his resurrection. As Jesus ‘raised from the dead’ he simultaneously became divine or God. But there is a fifth, much overlooked, point in time when Jesus actually ‘became’ God. Want to know when that was?
