The artists of Tiwanaku bent over backwards to accurately depict, for posterity, the characteristics of the alien phenomenon that suddenly appeared them. They used fish heads to symbolize that this creature was an aquatic, puma heads to signal that it was a powerful and agile creature, bird heads to show that the creature could fly, and human heads to indicate that this creature had intelligence. The artists drew pictures of the alien's astronaut helmet, its spacesuit, its hand-held instruments, its communication device, and its three-pod aquatic tail as best they could.
Most of us have been exposed to at least one religion while we were being raised by our parents. I was raised a Christian and lived in a Christian community. Like most Muslims and Hindus, we never had a choice, about which religion we wanted to belong to. Our upbringing determined our future religious beliefs. No matter how good or bad our childhood was, our parents justified their behaviors and we accepted these and will probably pass them down to our children.
Gold is the fundamental pillar of the international monetary system as a generator of currency, is very essential in the reserves of a developed nation. It has been seen that since three thousand B.C., gold turned into an acknowledged representation of prosperity, wealth, and power to many kings, and princes all over the world. An additional thing that is very striking about gold is the fact that it is so durable.
The Martyrs of the seventeenth century held the grand Protestant doctrine of the perfection and supreme authority of the Holy Scriptures, and claimed a right to read, and think, and believe, for themselves. They embraced the system of doctrine usually known in this country by the name Calvinistic; but which we would rather call apostolical, or evangelical, for they called no man master, and would submit their consciences in this matter to no authority, excepting that of God speaking in the Scriptures.
When Jesus looks at a man and when he moves around and among men, and when He sees a faith that is real and deep and which has that desire and longing to grow and mature, Jesus will be prepared to share and reveal many things to that man. There was a man in Jerusalem who wanted to go further and he is called Nicodemus. He wanted what Jesus could give. He had a thirst for that which was spiritually real. He would have had everything all neatly worked out and then Jesus Christ came along. |
