    This was predicted many centuries ago..... and if he does this with class and wisdom....... he will be able to alter the future profoundly in a manner that could well save millions........ I think billions of lives......... (not to mention infinitely precious souls).

    At the five minute and thirty second mark in this video an amazingly gifted Christian psychic gives further insight on a prediction made many centuries ago:

    When you read about the saga of King Saul.... and young King David.......
    haven't you asked yourself....... why didn't King Saul just fire himself.... and get
    David to be king in his place?????????

    I have....... often.......... And yes...... it is obvious that positions of power and wealth and
    authority......... carry with them a weight..... a burden........ that causes us to think in ways that
    when viewed from the future can be seen to obviously be flawed........

    I went with this answer in the poll......
    "Perhaps.... and I would suggest Colton Burpo for the Throne of Cephas - Peter!"
    because I have read both of the books about the Colton Burpo case...... and I was
    especially struck by the account of a Palestinian woman.......... who recognized
    Pastor Todd Burpo on a plane........ She initiated a conversation with him and told him.......
    that her family is Muslim................ and after her family read "Heaven is For Real" they were able to
    have family discussions about it........... without getting into a fight!

    That young man........ like Messiah Yeshua - Jesus - Issa.... speaks with authority........ because he knows and
    remembers with authority............ whereas His Holiness Pope Francis and I have a similar problem.......
    on every question and topic that we get into.............
    we go all over the place........ because having tons and tons of information...... can make us kind of proud.......
    and quite confused actually!


    https://www.heavenlive.org/

    https://www.heavenlive.org/watch/


    At this time most of us here on the forum are very skeptical of whether or not Colton is a credible witness..........

    Friends of yours watch Heaven Is For Real and ask you about it?


    Is Colton Burpo a credible witness?

    I have read a powerful case that the Roman Catholic church decided on a policy of celibacy for priests.......
    .....(combined with a nice harem of nuns)....... in order to avoid the problems that had risen up in the first and second century
    Messianic Jewish communities...........
    when churches were in homes......THE WOMEN had what was considered too much power over the church!!!!!!!

    1Corinthians 9:5 "Don't we have the right to bring a Christian wife with us as the other apostles and the Lord's brothers do, and as Peter[fn] does?"

    Peter was married..... Paul said so!

    So did Matthew:
    Matthew 8:14 ¶Now when Jesus had come into Peter’s house, He saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever.
    So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and served them.[fn]"

    So did Mark:
    Mark 1:30 "But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and they told Him about her at once.
    So He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and immediately the fever left her. And she served them."

    So did Luke:
    Luke 4:38


    Now He arose from the synagogue and entered Simon’s house. But Simon’s wife’s mother was sick with a high fever, and they made request of Him concerning her.
    So He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately she arose and served them."


    So..... my advice is for His Holiness Pope Francis to ask for young Catholic girls....... (possibly young nuns or aspiring nuns).... if they would be willing to marry Colton Burpo..... (if he accepts the job of the new Pope)..... which will be a somewhat different title because obviously when Pope's are allowed to marry again...... as Cephas - Peter was...... then technically...... he would not exactly be Pope....... .and a centuries old prediction would come to pass with minimal damage to Christianity in general?!

    People around His Holiness Pope Francis want him to directly..... and indirectly attack President Trump........
    I think that they are giving him really lousy advice!?

    Here are a couple of links to give you an introduction to the Prophecy about the Popes... that goes back to 1139.

    http://www.catholic-pages.com/grabbag/malachy.asp
    In my opinion..... near death experiencer Rabbi Alon Anava may be more so like Rabbi Yeshua - Jesus - Issa than any Christian theologian on earth.... and much about the Sermon on the Mount can be understood if we Christians will confront the fairly extreme cognitive dissonance of what Rabbi Alon Anava was shown during his brush with death.

    I personally believe that Rabbi Alon Anava verifies this statement:

    John 5:45 “Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you—Moses, in whom you trust."

    No, a corrupt "Christian" charlatan _pretended_ it was predicted. That's a very different thing.

    Why does he do that? Because his audience will throw money at him if he talks about how the corrupt liberals are persecuting Trump. He's fleecing the rubes.

    Should all Christian "Men of God" retire?

    Probably not a bad idea and they have managed quite a Golden Calf...er...Parachute to retire with.

    That is a truly good point......
    Rabbi Cephas - Peter.... the Apostle Peter was clearly sent to both Gentiles....... AND JEWS.........
    and his own personal Jewishness was obvious in his willingness to argue........
    even with an angel when it came to a question related to his own personal Jewishness......................

    ..... nobody quite like Cephas - Peter has occupied the Throne of Peter since......... Peter!


    http://www.drbo.org/chapter/51010.htm

    Did Peter refuse THREE TIMES... to eat unclean meats????

    For the record..... I personally have attempted to avoid pork and shellfish and other meats for over forty years...... but when I am at somebody's home who has no idea that I am like this.... I do sometimes eat pork or shellfish...... but this is relatively rare.......... So although as a Gentile I cannot fully understand what Peter was thinking when he saw this vision........... I have a least some idea of what he was thinking and feeling?

    Actually....... I referred to an even more ancient Catholic prediction in an e-mail that I sent off to Sanhedrin Rabbi Yeshayahu Hollander back in 2010.......

    I got baptized by immersion back in 1979......
    even back then I knew that somehow I was supposed to somehow metaphorically kill the old man Dennis Tate.....
    and allow Messiah Yeshua - Jesus to take over more and more and more and more in my mind.... heart... and body.......

    Romans 12:1
    http://www.drbo.org/chapter/52012.htm
    Thirty nine years later and this general idea means more to me than ever before.....
    Here is the Messianic Gentile teacher that got me out of Atheism......

    I am certain that this was one of his Yom Kippur sermons..... from the 1990's.....
    He actually would have fasted on that day....

    Garner Ted was a good teacher..... but I think that Rabbi Alon Anava.... and Colton Burpo........ are much, much, much better.....

    I think that this little guy did a lot toward preparing America to elect Mr. Donald Trump to the office of President.......
    as opposed to scary Hillary?!

    I would like to hear more about why you think this way...........
    I have read some about the visions at Fatima... but not enough to
    even comment intelligently.........

    I did just find one interesting article on this that I want to read as soon as we get back from the beach....... (G-d willing).....

    https://www.nderf.org/Experiences/1fatima_a_nde.html
    Aha... now I get it.. .the name of the near death experiencer here is Fatima.... kind of appropriate considering what she saw.....

    I got baptized a decade before you did and baby Jesus never so much as burped at me. I attribute this deficiency to my terrible rationality affliction making me unacceptable to aliens and ghosts, as well as Angels and dragons......it's a wicked curse.

    Actually....... I think that your skepticism prepares you to reach an audience of people
    who would never listen to somebody as obsessed with the paranormal as I am....... You my friend are perfectly prepared to reach people that I can't.............
    ..... You can speak their language..... i can't.....

    Francis is little more than a socialist entertainer who was installed by globalists while they pushed the LEGITIMATE Pope, Benedict, out!

    Did ya know that "Pope" Francis once stole a rosary from off the top of the casket of a dead Catholic priest: https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/nat...Stole-Dead-Priest-Rosary-Cross-248890041.html . Francis is proud of it! He carries it to this day!

    I haven't attended a Catholic Mass since this fake 'Pope' usurped the Papacy.

    I agree that he is pretty left wing........................
    he does seem sincere though..........
    after watching "An Inconvenient Truth" several times I attempted to give advice to Pope Benedict..........

    .... this was what I thought that I would attempt to do if I was in his shoes..........

    My two somewhat humorous submissions for $25 million Virgin Earth Challenge.

    I wrote this eight months before The Donald was elected President!

    Pope Francis.... The Donald is preparing America for Jubilee!

    Fascinating, how only the children of corrupt preachers tell tales of going heaven, which coincidentally and conveniently match their fathers' preaching.

    Gee, I wonder where the kid got the idea to say such things? Sure did make a whole lot of money for dad. Convenient too, that.

    I see a win-win here.

    The Catholic Church is clearly better off without you.

    And you're no doubt happier in the Satanic Cult of Trump.

    It's clear why the Trump cult hates Francis. He's a good man, and the Trump cult hates all that is good and decent.

    Any 'church' that would put such a thieving, usurping impostor as "Francis" as its "Pontiff" will surely be better off without me. But, 'better off' or not, it sure as hell won't see me back in any of its little get-togethers as long as a prating, jive-ass entertainer like Francis has any prominent part in it.

    As far as your simple-minded, mean-sprited "Satanic Cult of Trump" nonsense is concerned, please feel welcome to go straight to hell, and take your phony "Pope" with you!

    Satan is the Lord of Lies, and Trump is his prophet on earth. Trump cultists may have been told they'll get luxury suites in Hell, but Satan, being the lord of lies, won't keep his word.

    Otherwise ... well, see the tale of Lazarus. Trump cultists will be saying "lord please send Mamooth to dip his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in agony in this fire". Alas, I will be unable to cross over to aid them, as a great chasm will lie between us.

    And they'll say "Father, I beg you, send Mamooth to show the other Trump cultists what lies in store for them", and God will say "Well duh, that's what I did, and you didn't listen."

    I can only try.

    Do you prefer straight Sativa, or Indica? Or maybe a mix? Whatever, it must be pretty powerful. Have a nice whatever it is that you have.... Bye.

    I'll bet a hundred dollars right now that not one person in this thread can correctly describe what exactly the pope, or "a" pope, is.
