Parishioners at a church in Sweden celebrated Easter on Sunday by unveiling a 6-foot-tall (1.8-meter-tall) statue of Jesus that they had built out of 30,000 Lego blocks.
It took the 40 volunteers about 18 months to put all the tiny plastic blocks together, and their creation shows a standing Jesus facing forward with his arms outstretched.
I wonder if any of the parishioners took the time to ask, “Why in the world are we building a statue of Jesus out of legos?”
(To which the proper reply, of course, is “So we can be featured on Unreasonable Faith!”)
Maybe they took that command of Jesus about being like children a bit too seriously? I mean, if they’re still playing with Lego at that age…
Looks like a female michael jackson impersonator to me. The open arms and face is really creepy
“You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.”
-.Exodus 20:4
Nothing about lego here blocks so I guess all is fine…
How can you talk about Lego Jesus and not mention The Brick Testament?
http://www.thebricktestament.com/
You haven’t lived until you’ve seen Deuterotomy’s laws concerning male genital injury played out in Lego form.
http://www.thebricktestament.com/the_law/male_genital_injury/dt23_01a.html
I wonder how many people they could have helped in the same 18 months? I find it weakens their stance of being more charitable when they waste so much time and money on a project that is just a stunt. I do understand why they do these types of things but it makes me wonder what they might be hiding about themselves.
And what wonderful things did you do for the world in that 18 month period?
No offense intended, but I laughed out loud when I read your post. As if the only thing Christians can spend their time doing is “helping.”
You know, I heard this story on NPR, and I guess their description wasn’t very good, because I just imagined this primary-colored monstrosity.
I also imagined that Jesus might have the standard yellow lego-guy skin.
Lego models are very easy to modify by just added more lego to it.
Big cocked jesus, anyone?
Also, it must’ve cost a fortune to get that many grey lego blocks. An utter fortune. Lego is expensive, and even moreso when you want a specific colour.
I just wonder if it’s hollow. I don’t know why, but that was my first thought.
The inside of the body is composed of multiple color legos — the theological point being that Jesus (and his church) should be receptive of every race.
When you get at least 10% of all your attendees income, getting a mass quantity of grey legos is only a small line in the yearly tax deductions.
I’m glad my fundy husband builds castles and spacial warships instead of Jesus statues. Now, that would be creepy. The stuff is expensive, I know.
And yeah, that Jesus looks more like the Virgin Mary. The way his hand breaks is a bit ….well!
I…simply don’t see the point to that kind of activity.
That is so cool! Work of art indeed….be it Jesus or Michael Jackson….Kudos to the ingenuity of the Swiss…..love Swiss chocolate. My brother-in-law is Swiss German and is an executive Chef at the Westin hotel in Guam….maybe I should send him the link….he could create an ice-sculpture….hmmm.
eh…Sweden? Not Switzerland :p
In turn I will take my shot. Undermining faith is one thing. Deliberately scarring work that took commiment, belief, and teamwork of many or few is incorrigible. The work that you see was driven by faith or fame. Either is accepted in our society. Attacking the work to justify your belief or non-belief is petty and limp. If you question your own knowledge of greater purpose, maybe you should seek direction or education. Greater good is all we have.
JRP
Idiot.
Why did you let a little thing like the virgen Mary story keep you from knowing the truth? Didn’t you know you don’t need the Bible to come to the truth? If you want to know more about this, let me know and I’ll tell you about it.
Brad
Looool. And YOU know the truth, do you? That’s a laugh.
Dude. I’m 30 years old and I still play with Lego.
I don’t make Jesus statues though. Spaceships, yes.
I wonder if any of the parishioners took the time to ask, “Why in the world are we building a statue of Jesus out of legos?”
I think the better question is, “Why in the world would we not build a statue of Jesus out of legos?”
Hey, I'm all for more Lego stuff.
Though I'm forced to ask–what happens when they finally decide to break it back down into its component Legos? Perhaps it'll mystically rebuild itself three days on?
lol
But they can’t! that would be sacrilegous. Luckily, there are in a developed country with lots of atheists to do the work for them :P
Yeah, this one really made me proud to be swedish.. But hey, I’m all for lego, maybe just not in Jesus shape.. ;D
Looks like the statue is ready to pounce on that little kid!
…very appropriate, in tune/tone with the word, lego/tleco(N)=to rise, the nauatl(N)word is the root
of, legion, religion, lex(Lat), ley(sp), leg(E), regular(E), rex(Lat, rey(sp), jesus is a king of sorts,
altho i’m sure he’d seed(pun)the title to his father. by the way, on calling god/god, which roots
in the word, cotoni(N)=pinch(cut), cotton, the (OHG)=gott, the ku(r)d word=khuda(god) and their
early history is one of cannibalism, like everyone else, so god is an early word from that time,
which i feel has unpleasant association and only covers his/her function as the cutter/gutter
of life when we leave it, or the agency by which we do, therefore i don’t think it’s a name that
dignifys what we really mean by deity. i opt for the name, teotl(N)/theother(E)/teo/theo(logy)/
deo/dea, as it tells us certainly that we are not deo/teo and makes us look out of ourselves
instead of inward. this is a very cu(r)t, selfish/shellfish age which doesn’t need another breath
or word of separation to encourage it. what is inside us is the gift of deity, through the mime,
the fallen angel, cf.,tzopilotl wordpress/missing mithen, our neander promethea. origins are important, word is spirit, and tending our garden of words, so they are not infested by wrong
derivations and bad usage, will keep us from drifting into evil, e.g., devil and evil are from the
same word, teuitl(N)=glass, the words, drivel/dribble(E) also. we can’t afford to misuse words,
as it is a misuse of our gifts and the soul within us that we all have in language. we can
only work our way back to deo/dea/deity by examining the gift our species shares, as this
is the only chord that unites our hearts and minds to each other and to teo/theo/theology.
and there are other teotl: tree/t(r)eow/teotl / reed/rood/rod/rheod(OE)teotl / reel(dance)/rheol(OE)
teotl(N) / deer/deor(OE)teotl / lion/leon(sp)learning/leo(r)nian(OE)teotl(N)/theology. learning also
from, lernia(OFrisian)/ l/t/tle(r)n(i)a/ leña(sp)=wood= tletl(N)=oldest deity(fire)= t/l/red/t/l=
read/ t/let/l letra(sp)=letter. so you see, language is deity, the fact that spanish words
are involved points to the source of promethean fire and language and the founding deitys
being located in the cave complexes of iberia/france.
thank you for your attention,
and as the bible says:
diòs is logos.
…let’s see, qui(N/Latin)=who, quittani(N)=who sees, becomes the word, witness, with the (r/s)
inclusions, becomes, qu(r)i(s)tanni=christanni=christian. ok, now, who speaks= quitoa(N),
with (r/s) inclusions= qu(r)i(s)toa =khristos(gk)= ch(r)i(s)t christ. hmmm, never wrote a word,
what we have is heresay. ah, jose, is the japanese word, yose(J)=story teller’s hall, a variety
(music) hall, vaudeville. my, my, what have we here? something the western church swept under
their albs?, what the (N)auatl? yo=yotl(N)=yo(sp)= I, and -se/ce(N)=one, alone, so the title of
what later becomes the christian vaudeville, is entitled: i, alone. so that’s why jesus has such
difficulty with parents and why his birth was mysterious: he originally was an orphan. aha,
let’s check the orphic myth of the greeks as orpfeè(Fr) is the first gullible western civ. hears
about a personage who went to hell for someone(peresphone)and came back. wait, let’s check
orpheè, the name, with nauatl using letra. let’s see, here is, icnoa(N)=deserving, from,
ic=where no=my a=atl=water, no, that’s noah of genesis(bible), his story was about water and
deserving, ah, here it is, ic no pilli(N)=where my child?=orphan= icnopilli? let’s put in (r) inclusive
between o/p=orpilli, there! the p/ph decay= orph=orphan. ok, so the founding christ myth,
at least its first greek version has orpheus coded as orphan.
remember we are talking oral tradition here and the memory had to be helped along by name cues, e.g., daidalos=ta(i)tli al/toc/s=tatli atoc(N)=daddy atl toco=touch water=drowned, yes, daedalus wasn’t drowned but the story is about that, let’s see, ic arus= ic/here arus alus alos al/toc/s= atoco(N)=drowned/touchwater, or, agathocles(gk)= aga/aua(N)toca(N)=almost a king
(aga), this was a servant who married his master’s wife and became king of sparta, but the
grandson murdered his father the king and disgraced the line.
…so, christ is vaudeville, entertainment, meaning, entre/between hold/tener(sp), yeah,
to hold us(he has the whole world in his hand, one more time))between their(church/kirk/circle)
fingers/fi(n)gures/pi(n)ch/piqui(N)=who picks(creates)/feign/feint, how piquant are the pixies
of religion, and i mean the various cutters/gotters/gutters of god. are they not? the rc church?
a disgrace. feigning to be eunuchs, their older sisters=pitli(N)/p(r)i(es)ts have broken their
vows repeatedly(is molestation really the promotion ladder to the papal throne?), not only
their vows but the meaning of the founding word for p(r)i(es)t=pitli(N)older sister, from,
pie(N/Lat)=no pick(piety). why, we’re human, they say. is ruining children’s lives part of
their vocation, or is it vacation? clearly they don’t understand logos, much less teotl/teo/theo/deo.
their god must be monopoly, as it is for evangelical quacks also, altho i hate to malign a
decent duck/tuck/toc/toca(N)=to sow(to-/our being/-ca).
the fact, unavoidable, that we get religion and language wrong at every turn in our hurrying
lowway(not highway)through life should tell us we have been given gifts we do not use for
the good of teotl/theother(E), or, ultimately, for ourselves on this shelve we call the blue
planet. if our holy books cannot manage us, it’s time to write new ones: the torah, the koran,
the bible…throw them all away, and let’s start a new page in the history of theocracy,
one that we all can read together, based on logos/tloc/location and teotl/theother,
as the promethean who gave the gifts of deity, fire, language, seeds, music, dance,
even wrestling, the greatest and humblest manager the world has ever seen, and
the most sucessful, neander/new man. it is time for new men/women to take again
the torch of life from those blowhards who would extinguish it. tks.
…torture is an old, old story to church-goers, a tale of love and gory glory. blood religions
get that way. think of all the christ-like bears, their skulls in caves, their bones scattered
around the first cross, the pine tree, their descent to earth from the big dipper. i don’t mean
the collection plate or oral roberts, jimmy swaggert, or tammy faye, who had a bad
marriage to elmer gantry. burt lancaster was great in that role. playing massai, the apache,
prepared him, whoever worked on the script of apache must have been a renegade christian
or a tex-mex with a black mother, for masai are ochre warriors of kenya,
and apache echoes mapache/racoon, mexiguana slang for thieving politician.
yes, indeed, a religion whose centerpiece is a torture scene, whose com-mutants
drink blood and chew body would look favorably on torture’s twist. it’s holy, you know,
they probably say to each other in blank awe. there are just some things we can’t
understand about god, the cutter’s mysterious ways, is another.
doesn’t anyone awake from their religious stupor and say: i believe i’ve had enough?
…flea, idol=toptli(N)=wrap, like ka-chi-na/beings-on top-4(hopi=tohopa(OE)=hope=toptli).
at gobekli(eden), 9k bc, toptli= t/tho(r)p(letra)= t/do(r)f(letra/tletl)= towns, i.e., the rise of
idolatry produced the policy=topilli(N)=police(my child) and the slaves=s(l)ave(letra)=
s/caua(N)=being/ca-ua/owners needed for public works to build the towns, e.g.,
the polish, g(r)odi= (tla) g/c(r)ot/d(tl)i(tletl/letra)= tlacotli(N)=slave, from, coua(N)=to buy,
also, dakota, and, (t)la(s)c o/u tx(letra)=lascoutx, why it’s my basque name!
so if god had his way, there wouldn’t be any towns or cities, but he did place his curse
on them with the word, shaman=xamani(N)=to shatter, destroy=chamitl(N)=brick=
chaminaua(N)=chimney, which produce soot/tzotl that we also use for ink to print
books, so the problem with the bible, the torah, the koran is that they are products
of the flue(pun), which is quite infectious and is capable of plagues of fervor/fever
that can wipe out broad swaths of us. how can we avoid this curse in cyberspace?
we’re not using soot/hollin(sp)/tzollin(N), but, ollin(N)=holy (m)o(ve)ment.tks
…an example of how blood religions work, from yahweh to chirst to allah, is what happened
yesterday when i answered roger cohen’s rabble-rousing article in the times called,
city of whispers(teheran), i congratulated him on his revolutionary zeal but pointed
out abjad controlled the army, that youth should be served but not a bucket of blood,
and ended by saying if the young rebels were to light the fire of revolution around the
cold hearth of iranian democracy, they should cut the wood first. the post went into
comments at 9:38, then i watched with delight as it went to the head of comments
on top of the first posting of 9:15, out of time sequence. however, when i checked
back at 1330, the first 9:15 post was there followed by the next post at 9:58, what?
they had taken my comment and the comments around it out. i was and am outraged
that they, an american newspaper just bailed out by a lebanese mexican billionaire,
carlos slim helú, would stoop so low as to put themselves stealthily forward as the midwives
to massacre in mideast iran, to have that agenda is yellow press in every sense of the
word, goes against the charter of dialogue that any newspaper should stand for, and,
i suggest they change their masthead motto, all the news that’s fit to print, to,
all the news that fits(our agenda). for what once was a fine newspaper to stoop so
low and to fall so far from grace is not only a sign of the times but a sign of desperation
for a clique of bridge-burners looking up their sleeves for trump.
So, you’re like some big ball of crazy pants?
…who me? yeah, i’m a clown, barnum never gave me an even break, i’ll defend anybody
except myself, because, i have better thing to do, i’m so important, the stars come out
to see me everynight, even when i’m cloudy, my real name’s tlalli, some call me blue,
and forget my last name’s planet, my beer-swilling german friends call me, urth, the
cossacks and kibbutzim call me, zem, and the greeks call me, gaia, because they think everybody is, ticks that they are, but i tell them, you can call me, ka. may the grace of
craziness lie lightly on your shoulders, as lightly as buzzard quills on me.

Stay clear of i was friends with brad holkesvig
A total false profit AntiChrist. Here is notes I have been saving to warn others as he claims to be God, Jesus, the holy Spirit, says there is no Hell, and everybody is going to heaven except those that dont listen to him will be burned in a lake of fire (But says there is no hell??(Loony)
Brad (Also known as Belzebrad)
You claim to be the first sinless saint in 1,600 years.
You claim to be jesus and god. You claim you brought man into existence. Yet you claim you were a sinner and a false preacher before you became sinless. So it’s time we expose your fallacies’.
You are always preaching the bible, except you warn others not to read it and started a post called xxxBible claiming you are the only one who can interpret the bible and you say it is not for kids.
This is all what I would expect the Devil or the antichrist to say. But lets just look at basic Bible knowledge that does not require Interpretation!
1. The Bible is very clear that there has never been a sinless saint in the history of the Bible except for Jesus (Melchesdec also who is Jesus). The Bible is very clear; there is None Righteous no not one. All have sinned and fallen short of the kingdom of Heaven. It also says that there is non righteous no not one. Even the Apostle Paul said he obeyed the strictest letter of the law from his earliest youth and was considered even blameless, and still of sinners yet claims of himself were that he was Chief of sinners.
The Bible is very clear that any righteousness that we achieve is of Faith through God and his spirit, not of ourselves that we should ever boast. Therefore Brad taking credit for his sinlessness and claiming to be God is actually the highest sin that could ever be committed.
2. As far as you are the only one able to interpret the Bible the Bible itself is very clear as it says LET NO man tell you or Interpret. It also says Let God be true and ALL MANKIND A LIAR the Bible Says. It also says all scripture is GOD breathed and is useful for rebuking and Correcting in Righteousness. In fact the Disciples told Jesus once to stop a preacher preaching the word with wrong motives and Jesus said to let him Preach for the Word is getting preached. So you see we are all called to preach the word (Sinners saved) and the Real Gospel. Go ye into the world we are told. Jesus said if he be lifted up, he would draw all men unto himself. It doesn’t say if we lift up brad or Belzebrad that people would somehow find god while they are idolizing brad if that were possible?? (brads dream)
3. Brad claims he is preaching the gospel and yet he clearly has another gospel then the one delivered to us from God and the disciples. And Yet bread clearly preaches a totally new Gospel and the word clearly teaches that they would be Accursed if anyone delivered another gospel. Brad or Belzebrad gets all his material from the very source that completely condemns him and yet he continues to lift himself up or you will be condemned to the lake of fire. And yet brad does not believe in Hell. Belzebrad says everybody is going to a better place soon, and then he also says that only a few will be saved. (Or only him)
Brad is constantly lying and contradicting himself and yet he claims to be GOD!!!!!
Jesus warned us that many would come and say they were he. Jesus said all others are thief’s and robbers. Jesus said next time we would all see him break through the clouds when the last trumpet blows. Jesus warned us not to run here or there, and that this would be the Spirit of the Antichrist, which was already among Jesus even during his time.
This is not my words. But this our God of the Bible. The Holy one of Israel or forewarned us that this apostasy would come as it has. So keep in prayer and continue the good fight as these false Christ’s come and try to deceive so many as they indulge in these Great sins of professing to be god and bringing a new gospel. Thanks for your prayers.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
• Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 1 John 4.1
• Keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. 1 Tim 6.20-21
• Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. Rom 16.17-18
New Living Translation (©2007)
You happily put up with whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach a different Jesus than the one we preach, or a different kind of Spirit than the one you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed.
ANOTHER GOSPEL ANOTHER JESUS
1 Cor. 15:1: “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and in which you stand By which also you are saved, if you keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scripture.” the Gospel consists of Three points according to the apostle Paul.
1) He died for our SINS 2) He was buried. 3) He rose again taking up the same body he came in.
The Gospel concerns Gods son and his work for us to remove our sin . If it is focused on something else other than the cross and his resurrection it is not the gospel of Christ. The Son of God came as the savior (1 Jn 4:14), that he is Lord of the universe (which relates to a triune nature of God). We stand in it by trusting in his work. Salvation is a gift freely given not earned. We work from salvation not toward it. Our part is that we are commissioned to preach it and to make disciples.
2 Cor. 11:3-4 “But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted– you may well put up with it. (you will have to endure it, or you wear it beautifully, and some do).”
another Jesus – (allos) is a primary word; “else,” different (in many applications) The name is the same, its the name Jesus from the Bible but it is not the Jesus of the Bible. He is different one, with some similarities on the surface level.
A different Spirit -(heteros)-to number as opposed to some former person or thing the other of two; referring to quality: that is, one that is not of the same nature, form, class, or kind, to be different.
Another Gospel (heteros) of uncertain affinity; different: altered, strange. It is not the same one Paul preached, it has a qualitative difference.
Alterations of the Christian message have always been with us but not since the beginning of the church have they become so rampant and outrageous. Some of the cults would blush at what is now being said from Christian pulpits.
Paul warns Gal 1:6-9: “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.”
Another gospel; the same sort”; heteros expresses a qualitative difference and denotes “another of a different sort. “Paul speaks of “a different good (heteros), which is not another” in contrast to any other Gospel which there is none (allos, another like the one he preached),
Angels were always involved in revelation to mankind. Paul under prophetic inspiration warns the believers then and us now of receiving new understanding from a spiritual source that would alter what was first delivered to them.
To be perverted means to twist a thing around, they destroyed it by having additions to grace, distorting the nature of the person and the work of Christ.
To anathematize someone is to label them a false teacher. If someone teaches another gospel that affects who Christ is or how one relates to him , or distorts grace by subtracting or adding any work it becomes another Gospel. They are to be cut off, cast away. anathema-
2 Tim 4:4-5 ” and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
Col 2:15 ” Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.” At the CROSS!
• Brad Millions like me listen to God themselves and don’t need me to see you are the opposite of everything that is good.
IF I were Satan himself I am not sure if I could of devised a more wicked bunch of lies about our Holy God that what you created.
THIS IS WHAT YOU TEACH BRAD
God kills and destroys people to benefit brad. (Satan comes to steal kill and destroy)
There is no Hell you say and that you are god. (perfect from Your father the little g god)
You say everyone has eternal life already (No need for change than, even you are obsolete. (The Devil turned on you already)
You completely Discredit Gods Word the Holy Bible (Of course satan always does that)
You completely dismiss Christ’s work on the Cross as you become Christ. (Satan’s fall was he wanted to be God)
You brad completely Dismiss Free Will and Gods Love for it. (that puts god to blame and makes him one who plays favorites and planned evil) God is no respecter of persons!!!
You are the only Saint that ever claimed to be Sinless!! (Paul clearly stated he obeyed the rules since his earliest youth but called it all vanity and said he was the Chief of sinners)
You claim you are god brad, and Jesus and the holy spirit, plus you say you were a sinner, and you say your created with Jesus and the other saints. (This makes serious god seekers think knowing God is a craziness or mental retardation) Satan loves what you are doing a proven liar by your own words claiming to be god.
There is no Greater sin than the pride of calling yourself god or thinking you are sinless. That is the ultimate evil and work of satan in which you have indulged through your religious spirits from hell. But satan may just have deceived you as he is the deceiver.
So repent, turn from you sin, as Satan came to steal your family, destroy your business, and eventually kill you getting you to kill yourself or have a convert from hell if you ever get one to kill you. As no real Christian could ever hurt you, as we even Love our enemies. I Love enough brad to tell you the truth. Take heed.
brad like all men. God has given you some truths. But when you mix good with evil, you become the ultimate evil. And Hitlers are going straight to hell with those who take credit for the gifts and truths of God.
Satan only attacks with tempation those that are not his. He lets peoples own evil carry the unsaved and unwilling people to surrender to Gods omnipotent power and majesty.
Those in minsitry of the True Gospel are under the most temptation as even Jesus was tempted in every reguard and was the only person to carry the name Sinless.
So it is important that they daily die to their flesh or their Sin will find them out. Thats how Satan gets them out of the work is through sin.
If satan can get you to think you are God and tell others that you are god, he already has you. He has no need to temp you in any other regaurd.
The Bible says plainly Take HEED lest YOU FALL!!! It says dont think you are the only one that has suffered these temptations!!!! Apart from God I could easily fall. However God has allowed me to work along side of young Model perfect girls with all the estacy of my dreams and of my youth to with what seemed at the time with perfect sweet personalities to fall in Love with me. And yet God allowed me to remain blameless because of my committed to God and my wife. Instead of using them to girls to fufill my self, I used it to bring glory to my father in heaven, saying no to my dreams and wants, for a greator good and walk with God. So I never touched them or spoke in an unGodly way or thought. Yet I cant take credit for that, it was God giving me the power and Grace to say no to Earthly lust. If I would have taken Credit for that thinking I was great, God would have let me fall.
Satan is a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour at HIS WILL. Only God can stop that. Only giving God the credit could possibly give me the strength to say no. But it starts with a choice of my will. Then I ask God for his power. As we can do all things through Christ who strenghtens me. Without him we can do nothing.
So pastors who lose control are people trying to be good enough in their own strength to be worshipped by men and have not died to their own flesh. The Bible says he who loses his life, will find it.
Brad it sounds like a lot fo Chistians have let you down. But the reason Satan attack those is to destroy the works of God. It those preachers were preaching a lie, satan would have left them alone. But since they didnt learn to control their flesh, they were overcome by it.
The only Pastors I listen too believe in sexual Purity and live a life of purity. My friend Steve was a corporate Lawyer who left all the money to preach in a Tshirt and live in a cheap rented apartment driving beaters instead of BMW’s and he is happy and faithfull to his wife and Children. (Like me) Here is one of his preachings on purity.

So brad your sin claiming to be God is really the same as your Christian friends calling the shots in their own lives and not submitting to God. Satan doesnt tempt you with girls anymore because he already has you claiming to be god. Why torment or tempt you now??? He has you held by your own desire to be good enough and be God. As long as satan has you believeing you arrived to Godhood with this new Gospel, why would satan tempt you anymore?
• Bradism, the study of Belzebrad.
Or the Spirit of the Antichrist works the same.
Serioulsy brad is just a puppet and may be a real person there somewhere??? Notice how he said the other day brad said Quote: You dont Love Brad.
He spoke about himself as a third person. Its like the Demon is really doing most of the talking with brad slipping in and out of the impartation or split personality whatever it is? I once witnessed to a guy so demon possesed that I had to ask permission to talk to the human as the Demon spoke openly. Ill never forget. He said his name (The Demon)was Ariac, and that he was there the day jesus died on the cross. Everything he said came out faster than human form all lining up to the Bible plus more. The Demon told me things about myself nobody knew. He looked at me lustfully and said he had other followers with my name. Then I demanded to talk to the person and I got a totally different voice and personally that said satan promised him a thousand years of life after death. It was freaky.
But brad dosent even seem to have any knowledge or sharpness. he cant even understand that what he says is so flaud and that he keeps shooting his own story full of holes. He either has a very week demon, or the demon is just trying to use brad to make God people look dumb at brads expense. I sure wish brad would wise up??
Note Biblically. God never forced his will to make men do things that were against mans will. However I guess God did sent lying spirits to lie to man so then it was still mans will believing the lie and acting accordingly. God hardened Pharoughs heart, but God didnt force himself but used mans own Pride and just let evil take its course.
My point is for brad to speak in the third person about himself that way would have to be a demon or just plain crazy. He is brad, he is Jesus, he is God. This kind of impartation is not from the upper side of heaven. God always respects our will to choose. However in the story of ballam, an Angel did speak through an animal once, but God never possesed a humans will the way brad talks. That would be a demon or crazyness.
Someone’s pretty upset with Brad! Whoever the eff Brad is.
If anyone’s on facebook, you can find out what kinds of arguments Christians have with each other. They don’t just troll us, they do it to each other in open forums where they think god sends them messages to their news feeds:
God wants You to Know: Discussions
…in the earliest christ record, finnish bear worship, based on neandertal cave bear worship,
sin=rakka(Finn)=r/l/tlaca(N/prefix)=body, i.e., if saints have a body/tlaca/rakka they have sin.
someone claiming to be the anti-christ is just saying they are the eveningstar, the clown and
blackdog twin of the proto-christ morningstar, quetzalcoatl. the anti-christ’s name is xolotl=
cholo=ch/c(o)lown, our english word clown comes from the nauatl word for this creature,
who is also the tobacco god of ancient mexico(the dogwood tree was used as smoke),
later xolotl(N) becomes the devil, you can see him between the legs of the fool on the
tarot/tarocco/tlaloc(N/raingod) cards, and the fool(clown is paired up with st. michael,
who is the old death lord xolotl visits every day as he escorts anthony tonatiuh(N/sungod)
through the center of the earth. he’s a great character the xolo-itcuintli, mexico’s only
native pure bred, but i suspect he came over to amerindia from egypt as he is the spitting/
barking image of Anubis, their black dog of the dead.
the difference between christ=kh(r)i(s)tos=quitoa(N)=who talks, and, anti-cristo is obvious:
the anti-christ barks, shifts form, and is the god of monster/twins. cristo in his quetzalcoatl
form is lucifer(not the devil light bringer but the star who announces his father, anthony, the sun).
the RC religion has hidden away the mythology that wasn’t convenient to them, done great
harm to scholasticism, the truth, and murdered more people in their inquisition of the 15th
century than the holocaust of ww2, 50% more people, mostly women, midwives, herbalists,
and jews. would you trust a church with a record like that? i wouldn’t, they’re full of baloney
and have also to their sins, the complete skewing of time, i.e., the year does not begin in
january, it’s a 2-faced lie, the 7 day week=ce uen-tli=one offering, related to the tlaloc deer age,
a rite not a span of time, the planetary names of the week is complete bosh, and the months
are ridiculous as october is 8 not 10th, really shoddy time-keeping and is 60 days off the real
count. check out the cave, deer, aztec calendar in george vaillant’s aztecs of mexico, penguin
pback, for a real calendar, and the oldest, i’ve repaired it and it begins on either the 2/3d of
march depending on which of the 4 year-bearers, it’s 52yrs long, has 4 suits, and is the origin
of cards, among other things, and the number 8=ocho=tochtli(N/8)=rabbit, there are echoes
of the chinese calendar but it is older, the oldest counting time system in the world.
ps, i wouldn’t argue about religion until you get down into the words, the myths behind them
and take off the masks, e.g., macui xochitl(N)=5 flower=tobacco god, in the trecena/13days
of buzzard=writing and old age sign, there are statues of him as xolotl(N)/clown devil with
his hand/paw over the bottom of his face/mouth and he’s holding a red-tipped something, or
at least red dots are part of the statue(cigarettes?), so take macui(N)=ma(s)cui=mask,
the first mask is a smoking hand, the eveningstar, mother of morningstar=ehecatl(N/2)=
hecate, goddess of wind/weaving=ca(r)ds=cat/d=ecatl=cathedral, goddess of air, and
the reason mary conceived through the ear. the christ legend has been cobbled together
from previous myth as hecate was an aryan goddess of king theodric’s goths, the mother
of quetzalcoatl, the birdsnake, you can see her and mary together in the symbol-charged
mozaic of the san apollinari church theodric built for his bishops, which one pope covered
up but it’s been restored: hecate is present as 2 archangels either side of mary who sits
on throne with jesus in her lap, in front are the 3 kings, 3=number of piltzintecuhtli, 3d
lord of the night in the tonalamatl calendar, the cave/deer/aztec calendar, and he is lord
of princes, behind them are 22 virgin martyrs with crowns in their hands, enter the tonalamatl
22 days and you land right on quetzalcoatl’s birthday, 9 ehecatl/9 wind in the trecena/13days
of ocelotl, the priestly sign and animal of the birthing goddess, tlatla-tzol.teotl(N)=
flame.hole(firedrill)-thea, the cave goddess whose figurines keep popping up, the latest one
being 35k bc in germany, she is regent of the tonalamatl birthing calendar of 260 days.
jesus becomes clearer when one knows he is a twin, and also, that he was the original
orpheus, and orphan, whose story comes from the east, cf., my other posts on this site.
i see my life come shining from the east unto the west, one of my favorite dylan songs.
have a good time.
Oh come on. Legos are awesome and *always* age-appropriate. :)
It’s called fun. It has the same amount of point as making the USS Enterprise out of legos.
But… but the USS Entreprise exists! I’ve seen it on TV! ;-)
See…I never made the Enterprise out of Legos…I know they had an Enterprise Lego kit, but the Trekkie in me thought that that was just silly. Give me an actual model to build. Better yet, give me the actual model of the ship. Also, I never really cared for Legos…sacrilege!
