(Basically, Women STFU) 🔴 Psalm 106:38 And shed innocent blood, even blood of their sons and of their daughters, and pollute the land with blood. Indoctrination takes the Bible out of context. It turns god into a loving, all-powerful, merciful god when according to the Bible, he has more in common with the Devil. In the Christhole brain, why practice morality when good works won't get you to Heaven? Screw up, pray for forgiveness, then do it all over again. Create Hell on Earth but as long as they think they're going to Heaven, screw Everyone Else. The 3 Abrahamic Death Cults ✡️✝️☪️, who's underlying message is "Might is Right, Obey or Die." All 3 fight amongst each other & within their own denominations. When prayers fail, terrorists play god, and that's where all the evil comes from. It's not that certain things piss a god off, it's things that piss off the Indoctrinated Slaves who are trying to enforce their idea of what they think a god would want. Religion is Poison. Matthew 5:17-28 Jesus didn't come to change the Law, only to fulfill it, therefore not one thing shall be changed. (You still got to adhere to them Mosaic Laws.) So where's your Slaves? The Bible clearly says Jesus was accused of Sorcery and in league with Beelzebub, Mark 3:22, and according to Mosaic Law, Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live, Exodus 22:18. The real reason he was crucified. The Serpent didn't trick Eve. Satan told the Truth, "No you will not die, you will become like gods knowing good and evil." They ate and did not die. God had a massive Hissy-Fit. Tired of being God's sex slaves, Adam and Eve put on clothes and left. Indoctrinated Slaves will tell you that it was a spiritual death, though the Bible never mentions it. The Liar from the beginning is god. For every Bible verse there's a counter verse. Which explains why there's 80,000 different denominations of bickering Christholes. ☑️ Case in point, 💖 Ezekiel 18:20 The one who sins is the one who will die. The child will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent share the guilt of the child. The righteousness of the righteous will be credited to them, & the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against them. ★ Jesus didn't die for sins. The ✝️ Cult is the only cult that ostracizes people if they don't believe the same way Christholes do. Which is really no different than Revelations 13:17, unless you have the Mark, you cannot buy or sell. The Mark of the Beast is the ✝️. And Ash Wednesdays is when these Devil Worshippers put the Mark on their foreheads. 🟥 Prayers are what dumb people offer because they are too stupid to offer any helpful advice. 🟧 If God has a plan prayers are BS. 🟨 Asking for prayers then going to the doctor is cheating. 🟩 Prayer: How to convince yourself & others that you're helping, when you're really doing nothing. 🟦 When prayers Fail, Terrorists play god. Case in point: The Great Karen Fest of 2021 at the US Capitol Jan 6 🟪 Their Spells have never worked.
