Deathless. This letter is a rather unusual one. I am still under the spell, mesmerized, hypnotized, and in a deep trance after keeping myself glued to the TV set watching and listening, and experiencing evert aspect of the passing, and death and Funeral Queen Elizabeth II Monarch of the United Kingdom. I am feeling more deeply than I realized the loss be it reminds me of the death and passing of my own dearest mother in 1983. Mother dear, was the last person in our small immediate family to pass away. No one in our small immediate family has died since 1983, 39 years ago. I find myself experiencing the deep sorrow, the grief and bereavement that one experiences with the loss of someone love so deeply and profoundly. My beloved brother is also deceased. He died prematurely at the age of 24. There was only the three of us who migrated from Houston, Texas following the death of my beloved father. Our pain, our shock. our suffering, our anguish, our heartbreak, our gloom and depression and our melancholy of often inconsolable and overwhelming at such times. For we know that we shall never again see our beloved ones again in this life. We want the dead to longer with us, and we delay, move very slowly to put them in cold ground, we create elaborate ceremonies and rituals, and drama, because we are still in disbelief and we just will not let them go to their final rest. We are spoiled, and petulant children refuse to led the dead go so cavaliely from this mortal plane and travel across to the other side of the veil that separates the living from the dead. "You shall not die, live" "You shall not pass." And so, we stubbornly plant ourselves in defiance and rebellion against the enemy, Death. "You shall not have my belived!!!" I am my beloved's, and He is mine. And you then recite The Song of Solomon to declare your undying, your deathless, devotion to the beloved. The song of songs, which is Solomon's. [2] Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine. [3] Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee. [4] Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee. [5] I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. [6] Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept. [7] Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions? [8] If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents. [9] I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots. [10] Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold. [11] We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver. [12] While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof. [13] A bundle of myrrh is my wellbeloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts. [14] My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of En-gedi. [15] Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes. [16] Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green. [17] The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir. I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. [2] As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters. [3] As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. [4] He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. [5] Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love. [6] His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me. [7] I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please. [8] The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. [9] My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice. [10] My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. [11] For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; [12] The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land; [13] The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. [14] O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely. [15] Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes. [16] My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies. [17] Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether. By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not. [2] I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not. [3] The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth? [4] It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me. [5] I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please. [6] Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant? [7] Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel. [8] They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night. [9] King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon. [10] He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof of gold, the covering of it of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem. [11] Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart. Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead. [2] Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them. [3] Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks. [4] Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men. [5] Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies. [6] Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense. [7] Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee. [8] Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards. [9] Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck. [10] How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices! [11] Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon. [12] A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed. [13] Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard, [14] Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices: [15] A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon. [16] Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.

🚨 Modern day Christianity is missing the following actions from the true Gospel: 👉 Alms Giving to the poor 👉 Chastity from sex 👉 Fasting from food & drink This is by design, an error taught or inferred by undercover Satanist's infiltrating modern churches as Pastors and Priests, in order to hide these truths from the children of God and prevent them from entering the First Resurrection (Rapture). The only other way for Children of God to go to heaven is to die first and then be raised at the end in the Second Resurrection (Rapture). 🎁 John 11:25-26 (Canonical New Testament): Jesus: "I am the resurrection and the life. The person who believes in me, even though he dies, will live. Indeed, everyone who lives and believes in me will never die..." 🌲 Book of Enoch 104:1(Apocryphal Old Testament) "I swear unto you, that in heaven the angels remember you for good before the glory of the Great One: and your names are written before the glory of the Great One. Be hopeful; for aforetime ye were put to shame through ill and affliction; but now ye shall shine as the lights of heaven, ye shall shine and ye shall be seen, and the portals of heaven shall be opened to you. And in your cry, cry for judgement, and it shall appear to you; for all your tribulation shall be visited on the rulers, and on all who helped those who plundered you. Be hopeful, and cast not away your hopes for ye shall have great joy as the angels of heaven. What shall ye be obliged to do? Ye shall not have to hide on the day of the great Judgement and ye shall not be found as sinners, and the eternal judgement shall be far from you for all the generations of the world. And now fear not, ye righteous when ye see the sinners growing strong and prospering in their ways: be not companions with them, but keep afar from their violence; for ye shall become companions [friends] of the hosts [Angels] of heaven." 👣 First Epistle of the Blessed Clement 4:27-32 (Apocryphal New Testament) "He who covets for himself these things so great and excellent, withdraws and severs himself on this account from all the world, that he may go and live a life divine and heavenly, like the holy angels, in work pure and holy, and "in the holiness of the Spirit of God," and that he may serve God Almighty through Jesus Christ for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. On this account he severs himself from all the appetites of the body. And not only does he excuse himself from this command, "Be fruitful, and multiply," but he longs for the "hope promised" and prepared "and laid up in heaven" by God, who has declared with His mouth, and He does not lie, that it is "better than sons and daughters," and that He will give to virgins a notable place in the house of God, which is something "better than sons and daughters," and better than the place of those who have passed a wedded [married] life in sanctity, and whose "bed has not been defiled." For God will give to virgins the kingdom of heaven, as to the holy angels, by reason of this great and noble profession." 📖 The Acts of Thomas 12 (Apocryphal New Testament) Jesus: "Know this, that if you abstain from this foul intercourse [sex], you become holy temples" 📖 The Acts of Paul and Thecla 1 (Apocryphal New Testament) "Blessed are they who have wives, as though they had them not, for they shall be made angels of God." 🌴 The Divinity of Virginity... 📖 The First Epistle of the Blessed Clement - The Disciple of Peter the Apostle 6:46-55 (Apocryphal New Testament) "The womb of a holy virgin carried our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God; and the body which our Lord wore, and in which He carried on the conflict in this world, He put on from a holy virgin. From this, therefore, understand the greatness and dignity of virginity. Do you wish to be a Christian? Imitate Christ in everything. John, the ambassador, he who came before our Lord, he "than whom there was not a greater among those born of women," the holy messenger of our Lord, was a virgin. Imitate, therefore, the ambassador of our Lord, and be his follower in everything. That John, again, who "reclined on the bosom of our Lord, and whom He greatly loved," -he, too, was a holy person. For it was not without reason that our Lord loved him. Paul, also, and Barnabas, and Timothy, with all the others, "whose names are written in the book of life," -these, I say, all cherished and loved sanctity, and ran in the contest, and finished their course without blemish, as imitators of Christ, and as sons of the living God. Moreover, also, Elijah and Elisha, and many other holy men, we find to have lived a holy and spotless life. If, therefore, you desire to be like these, imitate them with all your power. For the Scripture has said, "The elders who are among you, honour; and, seeing their manner of life and conduct, imitate their faith." And again it says, "Imitate me, my brethren, as I imitate Christ." 💡 Did you know...

In like manner others were dealt with, who pleased His will, that, being translated to Paradise, they should be kept for the kingdom. But as to those who have not been able completely to fulfil the rule of righteousness, but have had some remnants of evil in their flesh, their bodies are indeed dissolved, but their souls are kept in good and blessed abodes, that at the resurrection of the dead, when they shall recover their own bodies, purified even by the dissolution, they may obtain an eternal inheritance in proportion to their good deeds. And therefore blessed are all those who shall attain to the kingdom of Christ" 🍎 The Book of Enoch 100:5 (Apocryphal Old Testament): "And over all the righteous and holy He will appoint guardians from amongst the holy angels to guard them as the apple of an eye, Until He makes an end of all wickedness and all sin, And though the righteous sleep a long sleep, they have nought to fear." ☺ Revelation of St. John the Theologian 586:1 (Apocryphal New Testament): Jesus: "As I said before, And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold, that is, men who have been made like the angels through their excellent course of life; them also must I bring, and they will hear my voice, and there shall be one fold, one shepherd." ☝ Genesis 5:24 (Canonical Old Testament): "Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away." 💭 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (Canonical New Testament): "Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

The Catholic Church is involved in many false teachings. Priestly celibacy is one of those teachings. The Church knows that requiring single priests to remain unmarried is unscriptural. Consider the following Catholic references: 1. “We do not find in the New Testament any indication of celibacy being made compulsory either upon the Apostles or those whom they ordained.”-The Catholic Encyclopedia 2. “The oldest evidence of a law on priestly celibacy is Canon 33 of the Council of Elvira [Spain], circa 300 C.E.”-Dictionnaire de Théologie Catholique 3. “Celibacy of the clergy is nowhere demanded or even supposed in the NT [New Testament].” --Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Bible 4. In the preamble to this 1967 encyclical, Pope Paul VI admitted that “the New Testament, which preserves the teaching of Christ and the Apostles . . . does not demand celibacy of sacred ministers.” 5. “Ecclesiastical celibacy is not a dogma. The Scriptures do not impose it."--Pope John XXIII Many Catholics believe Jesus encouraged priestly celibacy. But did he? Absolutely not. Jesus was born under the Law of Moses which REQUIRED priests to be MARRIED MEN! As Lev. 21: 1, 7, 13, 14 says: "Yahweh said to Moses: 'Speak to the priests descended from Aaron and say: "They will not marry a woman profaned by prostitution, or one divorced by her husband, for the priest is consecrated to his God. He will marry a woman who is still a virgin. He will not marry a woman who has been widowed or divorced or profaned by prostitution, but will marry a virgin from his own people." So, if Jesus had told unmarried priests to remain celibate, he would have been encouraging them to break the Law.

In Matt. 19:12, Jesus speaks of the many types of eunuchs there are and concludes with "...there are eunuchs who have made themselves that way for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can." In 1 Cor. :25, St. Paul says, "About remaining celibate, I have no directions from the Lord but give my own opinion as one who, by the Lord's mercy, has stayed faithful...that it is good for a man to stay as he is." 1 Cor. :32, Paul states, "I would like to see you free from all worry. An unmarried man can devote himself to the Lord's affairs, all he need worry about is pleasing the Lord; but a married man has to bother about the world's affairs and devote himself to pleasing his wife." When Jesus was challenged by the Sadducees who denied the resurrection and asked a question about marriage in the afterlife, Jesus replied, "...You are wrong, because you understand neither the scriptures nor the power of God. For at the resurrection men and women do not marry; no, they are like the angels in heaven." In Luke 22:19-20, Christ institutes the new covenant in his blood, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood which will be poured out for you." 2 Cor. 5:17, "And for anyone who is in Christ, there is a new creation; the old creation has gone, and now the new one is here."

@@prioress Tell me, Gloria, at Matt. 19:12, was Jesus talking to priests, telling them that they were required to remain celibate? No, he wasn't. Instead, he was talking to his disciples, many of whom were married men, including Peter. (1 Cor. 9:5) And another thing, did Jesus say it was a requirement for any of his followers to remain celibate for the sake of the Christian ministry? No, he didn't. Jesus didn't require celibacy for the sake of Christian ministry of *ANY* of his followers, male or female. Instead, he recommended it. As he said: "Let anyone accept this *WHO CAN."* (Matt. 19:12) And another thing, Gloria. Jesus was born under the Law of Moses, which REQUIRED all priests to be *MARRIED MEN.* (Lev. 21:1, 7, 13, 14) And where in your Bible does it say that Paul required priests to remain celibate? *NOWHERE!!* As I mentioned earlier, Paul acknowledged that a number of Jesus' apostles were married men, including Peter. (1 Cor. 9:5) The Catholic Church admits that compulsory priestly celibacy is Church law, not Scriptural law. As the Catholic Encyclopedia says: "The oldest evidence of a law on priestly celibacy is Canon 33 of the Council of Elvira, circa 300 C.E." Compulsory priestly celibacy is not a Scriptural requirement, Gloria. It was a Church law made up by the Catholic Church.
