Soy CRISTIANO evangélico y deseche las religiones incluido los pentecostales : Sus iglesias están divididas en llamados lugar santo y lugar santísimo en sus templos hay 2 pulpitos, para ellos no se partió el velo en dos. Sus iglesias son paredes y no humanas (Templo Viviente de Dios). Piden diezmos, se creen levitas, entonces debería de haber dos tipos de sacerdocio levita en general que recibían el diezmo (Num. 8:24-26) y deberían de dar el diezmo del diezmo a los sumos sacerdotes (Num. 18:26) y los levitas sumo sacerdote descendiente de Aarón. El diezmo era para el huertano la viuda el desamparado para el extranjero (Deut. 14:22-29). Ya no hay diezmo, pero ellos piden a diaria, semanal mensual, los diezmos eran cada año y otro cada tres años todo eso pertenecía a la ley dada a los judíos. Ellos declaran con su boca entonces ya no necesitan a Cristo, si todo ellos en su error todo pueden con su boca entonces están endiosándose, tremenda mentira, Cristo nos enseñó que dijéramos: si Dios lo permite are el uno u otra cosa. Idolatran a Israel terrenal (anticristos), lo llaman el pueblo de Dios y a los que creen en CRISTO los llaman gentiles (apartado de Dios olvidados de Dios) la escritura dice quien rechaza a CRISTO está condenado (Juan 3:18) y el que acepta a CRISTO JESÚS ya es salvo para vida eterna. Entonces a quien le creo a CRISTO JESÚS o a religiosos mentirosos llamados pentecostales. El pueblo de Dios son los Cristianos que recibieron título de ser llamados hijos de Dios.. Desconocen que los verdaderos judíos son los remanentes hijos de Dios es decir los Cristianos del mundo, el pueblo de Dios, somos los Cristianos. Los mentirosos dicen que para los Cristianos no hay tribulación, no saben cómo vivieron los primeros Cristianos, en roma en Israel, perseguidos, asesinados, quemados, acontecimientos en el coliseo romano, el incendio de roma, persecuciones, por judíos claro ejemplo Saulo perseguidor autorizado por gobierno judíos, inquisición etc etc, y que según esos mentirosos ellos serán raptados en secreto sin que nadie lo sepa y para ellos no hay sufrimiento engañan diciendo son hijo de dios rico y anhelan riquezas y poder terrenal. Dios nada hace en secreto ni se esconde de nadie, todo lo hace avisando miles de años antes y a ojo de todos. Ellos no predican a CRISTO JESÚS, ellos predican a la mentira que no existe (jeova, yave , buda, ala etc.etc. etc) todo el que rechaza a CRISTO JESÚS entonces el tal es bestia (anticristo) Obligan vacunarse. Hablan lenguas que nadie les entiende. Por sus obras los conocerás dice nuestro señor Dios y salvador CRISTO JESÚS. Soy Cristiano hijo de CRISTO JESÚS mi Dios y salvador regresara pronto en las nubes del cielo y todo ojo lo verá ahí mandara recogernos a sus Ángeles con voz de trompeta nos reuniremos su iglesia (todos los Cristianos verdaderos del mundo) CRISTO es la cabeza de la iglesia, ahí las bodas del cordero. Antes de destruir esta tierra y este cielo reinará mil años este planeta, pero antes encarcela por mil años a satanás. Al falso profeta (religiones) y a la bestia (espíritus inmundos seguidores de satanás, google, Facebook, QR, chip, ciencia usada para el mal) serán lanzados al infierno vivos. Después de los mil años satanás es soltado de su prisión no se arrepiente y es lanzado al infierno la candela que no se apaga ni su gusano muere, desaparece este mundo y este cielo inmundo por causa del pecado, nada inmundo prevalece, ahora Dios todo lo hace nuevo, nuevo cielo y nueva tierra, Dios Reyna para siempre. ( 1 Juan 5:7 Porque tres son los que dan testimonio en el cielo: el Padre, el Verbo y el Espíritu Santo; y estos tres son uno.) Dios resumió toda la Biblia en dos mandamientos. El verdadero amor ( CRISTO JESÚS )

You can't cut your fingers on the saw blades. I pressed my thumb against such a saw blade, and it didn't make a mark. What's terrifying is that nobody is using gauze masks.

That's because there isn't red volcanic glass. Volcanic glass is either black as in Obsidian, or golden yellow as in Pele's hair (filaments of volcanic glass). This is "slag glass" which is glass of different colors made in such a way to produce a marbled effect. It's no more special than colored opaque marble glass.

[@helema23]

@@Kalithrasis What colors can volcanic glass be? The color of obsidian ranges widely from common brown-black to orange, green, blue, gray or even near-colorless, and is influenced by the presence of sub-micron-sized crystals. Common textures include flow banding, breccia, devitrification (including spherulites and lithophysae), and vesicular bands. there has been more red glass found in certain areas. not saying this is real volcanic glass but it could be or maybe they made it in the same manner some make pearls by seeding the lava flow.

[@cflory62]

I have two of these red crystal balls that I bought more than 20 years ago. One is approx. 6 inches in diameter, and the other is just over 6 1/2 inches. I've bookmarked this video so my son will know where they came from. I also have a large shooter-sized 'marble' of the same swirled red and clear quartz.

The owners of that glass cutting business must hate their workers. Don't know what they did to deserve to endure such terrible working conditions. Cutting glass without any PPE is stupid, or if you have no choice, evil. I hope people who think these crystals provide healing see this.

[@davebowers8631]

Lol. Most of the luxuries you enjoy, like your TV, tablet, smartphone, car, etc. contain precious metals mined in 3rd world countries and use child labor and extremely unsafe working conditions. Consider that the next time your dopamine receptors are flooded by the sound of a message ping. My bet is you'll get over it! But yeah, crystals salt balls = bad.

[@tyq5775]

I hate people like you very much, You could say these workers deserve better working conditions, But if you are filled with righteous indignation and think that the small boss of the factory must provide perfect conditions for these workers to work, then you are too naive and ridiculous. There are still too many places and too many people in this world who have not received enough development. At the moment, what they need more is a job to support their families. They should be grateful to the small factory boss for giving them the job opportunity, rather than caring about the relative Secondary environmental conditions, put away your ignorant and ridiculous cheap pity!

Is this truly volcanic glass,” obsidian” or is it Himalayan salt? How and where do they get these giant slabs of glass or salt?

[@Jonathan.D]

I've seen this being done at a quarry between Da Nang and Hoi Anh. The sculptures they can make from it are amazing. Most all of it comes from the on-site quarry or nearby mountains. I saw one that was a giant koi fish that was at least 3 meters long and 1.5 meters high. Amazing artistry!

[@Jonathan.D]

I should mention that the first was volcanic glass, and the second was the salt. Two very different places.

[@Joe-Skier]

This is man-made. Not volcanic

[@marionfisk7926]

Where in the world do you find volcanic glass that is almost all red.? That’s why I was questioning is it truly nature made volcanic glass or something man-made? I noticed in the videos, but they were starting with look like big slabs that had been poured out and folded over and that’s not natural. I live in Oregon on the West Coast of the United States and our state is a volcanic state and I’ve gone to the Lava beds in eastern Oregon and picked up volcanic obsidian and it’s almost always black with may be a few streaks of red through it.

[@Jonathan.D]

@@marionfisk7926 There are at least 12 different colors of volcanic glass. It can be dark or black, with some being tan, green, blue, red, orange, brown, and yellow. It can be completely clear or have streaks of one or more colors. The different colors are caused by impurities and/or inclusions. Iron crystals give it its normal dark color. Sometimes, it even comes in what looks like a rainbow. If you learn how volcanic glass forms, you will understand how the lump in the video formed. Where and when it formed also affects the way it looks.

Leadlight glazier and stained glass windows is my trade, getting a bit to dangerous now with lead poisoning and silicosis. When I first started no PPE (safety gear) was used. A lot of people die to early in this industry. Look up what chemicals are used in the paints for stained glass windows.

Its not volcanic glass, it's just plain man made glass. You can colorful glass slag all over the US as well.

[@nickinatita]

Yup, it is cherry quartz or another trade name is smelt quartz, a type of man made glass, likely created in giant kilns as it needs very high temps to create. All over eBay, etsy, Amazon, Ali express, etc. It is a stunning substance, I own many examples in various forms and still love it, despite it being man-made. The working conditions are appalling, makes me sad
