So how many of you know of the story of “Lucifer” the fallen angel from the Old Testament of the Bible? How many of you were under the impression (due to The Church) that this passage is talking about The Devil? It isn’t. It’s a mistranslation of a Hebrew word for the Morning Star, Hêlël,…

Inspired by Job,I praise God through pain.I always see sunshineWhenever there’s rain.Transmute fear into gratitude.Reprogram your brain.Never play victim.Always abstain.

When you think about it, even the word God sounds like Om, right? Same o sound. Om in Buddhism, I am in the Hebrew Bible. Exodus 3:14 And ´Élöhîm said unto Möšè I AM THAT I AM. Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Yiŝrä´ël: I AM hath sent me unto you. You’ll notice this is not the version you’ll find in your Hebrew Bible. Elohim, here…

I spit a lot of facts in this one. If you don’t fact-check me, shame on you, unless you knew all of this already. As an aside I saw someone point out last night that J.R.R. Tolkien’s world was flat until it was formed into a sphere suddenly at some point. But if you accuse…

But the Bible tells us what cherubs looked like and it wasn’t cute little babies with wings. Check out Ezekiel’s description of Cherubim. 1:5-12 5 And…
