I know Francis, he was a cement statue in Grandma's backyard growing up as a kid. I used to sit in tree's and sing to him, and notice more life come into the yard. His blessings work. Just gotta believe.

[@Roncass4]

You do realize that that statue was manufactured by someone just trying to make money to feed himself and possibly his family. It has no power, it was you imagining power. Nothing more than the power of suggestion.

[@ixchelskyfeather2513]

@@Roncass4 That was gross. Even if you don’t believe, why would you crap all over someone else’s beliefs? Was it harming you personally? Did it take food from your table? Did their belief and childhood memory remove the shelter from your head? There is literally no reason to crap all over this person’s beautiful memory and belief other than a feeble attempt at making yourself feel better through someone else’s pain. Maybe do some introspection on what is causing you to lash out at others, and do some healing. I pray you find it.

[@Roncass4]

@@ixchelskyfeather2513 Bible thumpers can never see the hypocrisy in the things they say. Printers, print books for a living, but just because the next run could be a Bible it is somehow sacred. Manufactured by the same people out of the same paper-stock and materials It’s just a lawn ornament someone made then sold for a profit. Symbolism is not a religion. But religion is full of symbolism.

[@raramouni]

@@Roncass4 wow why than are you watching a video about our Christ And saints of Jesus followers. Your thumping on our beliefs is what's concerning.

[@Roncass4]

@@raramouni Do you remember that exercise in class where one person would tell another a story and then that person would turn to another one and repeat it and so on throughout the class of about 30 people. By the time it got to the end, the teacher asked the last student to get up in front of the class the repeat the story and it had very little resemblance to the original. That’s exactly how that was written after being censored by people with their own agendas. I think it is absolutely possible that the Bible was written with some historical facts mixed in to make it more believable. History is full of statesman priest, dictators, and other so-called dignitaries, and writer’s that offer no hard evidence that it was good to worship Idols. Plus, the God of the Bible stated that he was a jealous God. If he was really a God, why would he be jealous of anything? He also stated in the Bible that, there shall be no other gods before me. How many others are there? The fairytale just does not make any sense at all. You can worship a old Buick or a statue that were both made in a factory if you would like. I just simply point out the hypocrisy in the whole thing. ☮️

-ST FRANCIS PRAYER- Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

[@Leo_Keys]

I know he said at the end that you can be rich and poor, and still follow the path to ascension, but I believe than St. Francis wouldn't have been able to reach the heights that he did if he didn't relinquish his attachments of wealth. It's hard for people to understand that living a simple life, as opposed to a lavish one, is such a powerful tool for growth, but our innate animal instinct of survival, especially heightened in our modern culture, keeps us in fear of losing our perceived sense of financial security. Fear is a very strong form of attachment, and if we have strong attachments to this 3D world, then we will reincarnate back to this 3D world. A great first step would be practicing minimalism, and see where you can go from there.

In a previous life, I was born in 1326, 100 years after Francis passed away from this life in 1226, I was a Franciscan monk in Spain and was helping and assisting people that suffer with the Black Plague in 1349. I also got the plague and passed away that year. Francis was a very special saint, not even being a priest, the Pope had to accept him because of a dream he had.

[@bethbartlett5692]

This man has such a pleasing presentation style and his voice is easy on the ear, a sense of calming. He's perfect for Spiritual and Religious subjects, particularly Religions, as they can be so fear promoting. They scared me so deeply as a child that it continues to require "Release Thought Efforts". The upcoming Solar eclipse in Gemini has Ruler Mercury in Gemini in Retrograde (representing need to apply the "re's", review, reduce, rennovate, re-emerge, and *"Re-Start"* + Mercury represents Communications, our Thinking Mind, Cognitive Thoughts, and daily Mind tasking.) I would love to pair him with a Research Team that includes, 2 of each: Researchers, expert in Old Hebrew and it's Interpretation, Historians focused on era of 100 BC/E - 400 AD/CE, History of Egypt, the Levant, era shipping/trade, Experts on the Escenes, a student of Laurence Gardner, and (an Expert in the History of the New Testament and Gnostic Gospels who was a Professor Emeritus retired from Yale University with previous experience teaching at Rhodes College/Memphis and Duke University). ...and an individual who can determine why the Nag Hamadi Finds and Dead Sea Scrolls were in the possession of Rockefeller's Museum in Israel for over 40 years before releasing finds. Are some things too obvious to believe? All working in a collective towards gaining: *(The facts of Yeshua/Jesus, his life, teachings, and his human death.)* Yeshua was a Rabbi and in good standing with his Religious Affiliation, Judaism. (Money Exchangers, the Zionists of the era and the Roman Governor of the Levant.) Then Constatine and his Priests establishing his "1 State Religion Roman Version". Makes little sense except for a tool to support his Power. I want the true clarity of Yeshua/Jesus as a man and on his teachings. Doesn't everyone?

But now it has been manifested to his holy ones, to whom God chose to make known the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; it is Christ in you, the hope for glory. It is he whom we proclaim, admonishing everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. For this I labor and struggle, in accord with the exercise of his power working within me.

Spirituality and a positive way is what I think is the real meaning of the Son of God. We a the children of God gave him lots of names over time that is why he is referred to as God by most people. And sad that people don’t see the evolution of religion over the time mankind has started writing it down. And the Old Testament is mostly accounts of history that was pasted from father to son, mother to daughter over time so how true is it I was not there to dispute anything in it. I just believe in the structure of the Bible because it talks to you different than me and so on that is believing.

I think it’s possibly nothing more than folklore. Possibly just a lesson to keep people from abusing animals. We have all had that lesson in school, we’re you told a story to someone and then they turned to the next person and repeated the story, and so on. After around 30 repeated the story, The last person would get in front of the class and tell them what he just heard and it was non-recognizable from the original story with a couple of facts correct. The story had morphed into imagination and interpretation of the person telling & receiving the message. Remember that?

They're teaching of the letter and not of the spirit. They have mistakenly interpreted the Bible in a semi literal fashion and have missed the profound teachings that reside beneath the outer garments. A true tragedy that Humanity has to continue forward being misled, the blind following the blind. Christ is an energy within ourselves that we are able to give birth to buy truly being pure in our mind and in our body, of which the proper use of our sexuality is essential. All of these corporations have us poisoning ourselves constantly in our mind and our body. Why do you think they add fluoride to our tap water?

[@AutobotProwler]

Jesus didn't. They weren't christian

[@missymoonwillow6545]

and the alchemists also based their spiritual practices from the holy trinity. or better yet, the pagan druidic power of 3. It's meant to signify the merging of the higher self (spirit) with the self (ego, or I) and the creator source (father in christ religion). Careful with holy magic, what we have available is the manipulated versions and stories, not the actual teachings that jesus and the essenes practiced. We can get tangled up in religion for eternity... best to let arguments based in religion go into the winds of time. Faith requires us to not understand but believe in something greater than ourselves, and to live in service to it. Defining it, is not necessary, and those who have encountered it, go mad.

Noone should follow the human Francis, but follow the one true teacher, the CRUCIFIED CHRIST, the SAVIOUR of souls from the slavery of sin. ...
