BANNED FROM THE BIBLE: HISTORY CHANNEL DOCUMENTARY

BANNED FROM THE BIBLE…

Note: The following was first posted as a thread to another post on another website in February 2010.

The Qur’an does have both the Old and the New Testament in it. Muslim scholars will tell you that the Qur’an is the Old and the New Testament minus human interpolations. If you read the Qur’an, however, you will come across passages telling the reader to refer to the previous revelations that came before it, meaning the Torah (Old Testament) and the Injil (New Testament). The Qur’an is some kind of summary of both, mentioning the names of Biblical prophets by name but not the whole story, so the Qur’an passage will advise the reader to read from the previous revelations if they want to know more.

The New Testament is very similar to the “Ahadith” (traditions) of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), which were collected long after his death. Authentic traditions are those witnessed/recalled/confirmed by more than one person, aside from the education/intelligence/integrity of the person being quoted as having seen or heard what the prophet said or did.

Comparatively, the four gospel tellers were chosen due to the commonality of what they had heard or seen during Jesus’ lifetime. Those considered less authentic are considered apocrypha or, in Islam, weak traditions and given less consideration.

So, if the four gospels were chosen due to their commonality, if you have read one, you’ve read them all. This would reduce the New Testament (Christian Bible minus the Old Testament) to a small pamphlet.

I FOUND THE FOLLOWING HISTORY Channel’s SPECIAL SO REALLY INTERESTING. I WATCHED IT TWICE! (1-12)

I am not a Christian, but I think it is vital for Christians to understand how the Bible was assembled.

Philippines: US military outpost with nuclear capabilities? — RT

I can recall that one of the rationale for closing the US bases in the Philippines was to stay neutral in the cold war and to remove Philippines from the target list of Russia/China in case of a superpower nuclear war at the time. With the collapse of the former USSR, the USA didn’t put up any fuss over the closure of the US bases in the country. It has outlived its usefulness, not expecting that China, the sleeping dragon, would rise and rise big in a flash.

The Philippines is torn between two choices: the USA or China, and for the Philippines to choose an ageing empire that is less than a shadow of its former self is wrong. The USA will remain a military superpower bent on stirring trouble around the world just so it can continue to keep itself in the headlines of relevancy, and this is what the Philippines has chosen to be allied with. China will, on the other hand, continue to rise on all fronts with more emphasis on the economy. Not only does it have to feed 1.5 billion people; it has to keep them satisfied with the way their lives are going…a utopian existence that socialism promises. China has a better economic offer that can uplift the financial bondage that has chained Filipinos for so long. Bringing back the USA’s military bases will not only make us an enemy of China; we will be back to being beggars always begging the USA for more aid from an empire burdened with a mountain of debts that, if dollar bills are pasted together end to end, can reach the moon round trips many times over.

RT: The locations once acted as major hubs for military operations for US forces in the Pacific… what role are they now going to play?

RR: In line with the US strategy of rebalancing its forces, the US is seeking more access to these former bases. Though they may not be going after formal basing agreements, they would have unlimited access to these facilities and many other facilities all over the country, allowing their ship to stopover, refuel, and be stationed for periods, especially during the military exercises. 

All of this would transform the Philippines into a military outpost that would allow the United States to project its power throughout Southeast Asia.

So this is a very bad development, as far as we are concerned. Twenty years after the US bases were shut down, it seems that the bases are back, although not the formal basing agreement, but just the same, the functions are there, the functions of a military base are there.

MY PHOTO-EDITING HOBBY: pizap.com (1)

Although there are several free photo editing programs on the internet, I always feel that something is missing. I have to combine several programs to achieve what I like to do, but still, I can’t get it quite right. ‘pizap.com’ is a program that I saw on my 7-year-old daughter’s Facebook, which she has been playing with for several months now. I thought, I really did, that it was a children’s website until I sort of logged on for curiosity, and whoa, it is what I have been looking for…

Two Men Who Say They Traveled Through Time

Time travel is simpler than we think. In fact, if time travel is not possible or simpler than overcoming the speed of light, Jesus’ second coming will remain a myth that will never happen. Science is missing the time machine because it focuses on the speed of light, even though nothing larger than a photon or a gamma ray can travel at that speed without disintegrating. Photons and gamma rays are, by the way, energies, not physical matter. Teleportation is different altogether from what we know of travelling in time, probably closer to astral travel in time.

Two Astonishing Cases Of Men Who Say They Traveled Through Time

Posted on June 3, 2012 by Soren Dreier

Snip:

There are many people who claim to have traveled through time. Among them are Seattle Attorney Andrew Basiago and Håkan Nordqvist from Sweden.

In 2004, Andrew Basiago made a very controversial announcement publicly claiming that from the time he was 7 to when he was 12, he participated in “Project Pegasus,” a secret U.S. government program that he said worked on teleportation and time travel under the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

“They trained children along with adults so they could test the mental and physical effects of time travel on kids. Also, children had an advantage over adults in terms of adapting to the strains of moving between past, present and future,” Basiago said.

During this time, Basiago said that he experienced eight different time travel technologies. Mostly, he said, his travel involved a teleporter based on technical papers supposedly found in pioneering mechanical engineer Nikola Tesla’s New York City apartment after his death in January 1943.

“The machine consisted of two gray elliptical booms about eight feet tall, separated by about 10 feet, between which a shimmering curtain of what Tesla called ‘radiant energy’ was broadcast,” Basiago said. “Radiant energy is a form of energy that Tesla discovered that is latent and pervasive in the universe and has among its properties the capacity to bend time-space.”

NETANYAHU: sanctions not working; not a millimeter bit…

As far as Bibi Netanyahu and Israel, for that matter, are concerned, anything other than “zero nuclear purification” is not good enough. The West (USA/NATO), not Israel, must attack Iran before it is too late. It is either now or never, or as an afterthought; Israel will with nuclear hellfire. (I believe that Israel will and for men of good sense; the Iranian leadership must be flexible. When faced with mad men possessed by evil, good men must bend because they are men possessed of reason, especially if the outcome outweighs any other possible result.)

Sanctions not slowing Iran N-program by ‘one millimeter’: Netanyahu

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has blasted Western countries for failing to halt Iran’s nuclear energy program, insisting that the US-led sanctions have not slowed down the Iranian nuclear activities “by one millimeter.”

“The Iranian nuclear program has not slowed down by one millimeter despite all the pressures that were applied to it; nothing,” Netanyahu said in an exclusive interview with the German Bild newspaper on Tuesday. 

The Israeli premiere also complained, “The Iranians were only asked to stop 20 percent enrichment of uranium; that doesn’t stop their nuclear program in any way. It actually allows them to continue their nuclear program. ”

GOD OF WAR: ‘US warships in Asia Pacific extremely dangerous'

I am afraid that the USA will engineer more trouble in the Philippines, the Scarborough Shoal being one, if not at the top of its list, to instill fear and inflame anger, not necessarily nationalism, among Filipinos, which will justify bringing back the American bases.

I remember one prophecy of Nostradamus, which says that the USA and Russia will be friends after the collapse of communism, but it will be short-lived. Why the USA is continually stirring up trouble where there is none is a mind-boggling puzzle. It is okay if the American people starve for as long as the USA remains the world’s top warlord, the god of war. 

PressTV - ‘US warships in Asia Pacific extremely dangerous, politically foolish’:

‘US warships in Asia Pacific extremely dangerous, politically foolish’

Steinberg: What you have coming from Britain and the US, the old Anglo-American alliance that was behind the Iraq war and other things, is a notion that ultimately the powers that have to be contained are Russia and China and so there's very much an effort here to build up a combination of military force. 

Now, the problem of course is that the US relationship with China is multidimensional and a very large component of that relationship is military. So the idea of using a kind of Cold War model for how to deal with the US relationship with China makes no sense whatsoever, it would have been as if the Soviet Union, at the height of the Cold War, was the largest debt holder of the US, which was of course not the case. 

So, this whole idea of militarization of our relationships with Russia and China is not only crazy, but is extremely dangerous. 

Russian President Putin has threatened that the missile defense issue i.e. the deployment of this ABM (anti-ballistic missile) system in Europe could be a trigger for conflict all the way up to thermo nuclear war. 

So the dangers of this policy are immense and the foolishness of the political leaders is extremely dangerous. Many top American military officials are adamantly opposed to this demonization of Russia and China, but ultimately it's the president's call.

Drones: How Obama Learned to Kill

War is PEACE! I promise to lead the USA into more wars to bring more peace in the world. I am naive now, but I will learn to kill if that is what the USA’s presidency and the Nobel Peace Prize demand of me.

Drones: The Silent Killers - The Daily Beast:

Drones: How Obama Learned to Kill

The Obama campaign touts a commander in chief who never flinches, but the truth is more complex. In an excerpt from his new book, Kill or Capture: The War on Terror and the Soul of the Obama Presidency, Daniel Klaidman reveals:

Tribesmen a world away, in the tiny village of Karez Kot, later heard a low, dull buzzing sound from the sky. At about 8:30 in the evening local time, a Hellfire missile from a remotely operated drone slammed into a compound “of interest,” in CIA parlance, obliterating a roomful of people.

It turned out they were the wrong people. As the CIA’s pilotless aircraft lingered high above Karez Kot, relaying live images of the fallout to its operators, it soon became clear that something had gone terribly awry. Instead of hitting the CIA’s intended target, a Taliban hideout, the missile had struck the compound of a prominent tribal elder and members of a pro-government peace committee. The strike killed the elder and four members of his family, including two of his children.

Obama was understandably disturbed. How could this have happened? The president had vowed to change America’s message to the Muslim world, and to forge a “new partnership based on mutual respect and mutual interest.” Yet here he was, during his first week in the White House, presiding over the accidental killing of innocent Muslims. As Obama briskly walked into the Situation Room the following day, his advisers could feel the tension rise. “You could tell from his body language that he was not a happy man,” recalled one participant.

Snip

The president had come a long way in a short time. Schooled as a constitutional lawyer, he had had to adjust quickly to the hardest part of the job: deciding whom to kill, when to kill them, and when it makes sense to put Americans in harm’s way. His instincts tilted toward justice and protecting the innocent, but he also knew that war is a messy business no matter how carefully it is conducted. He saw the drones as a particularly useful tool in a global conflict, but he was also mindful of the possibility of blowback.
