Kenya's top prosecutor has ordered that 95 people from a doomsday cult be charged with murder, cruelty, child torture and other crimes in the deaths of 429 people believed to be members of the church.


The country's director of public prosecutions, Mulele Ingonga, was responding to pressure from a magistrate in the coastal county of Kilifi who told the prosecution to charge the suspects within two weeks or the court would release them.


For months since the arrests last April, prosecutors had asked the court for permission to keep holding church leader Paul Mackenzie and 28 others while they looked into the case that shocked Kenyans with the discovery of mass graves and allegations of starvation and strangulation.

what is your view and take on Angel numbers?
..............

Because I'm not sure about the time if it was before midnight or not....
but on this this night 3rd December 2021 I went up upstairs like any other night, to sleep, but like no other night, I died

Since then I've not been baffled as to HOW I'm still alive....
" their mysterious ways and all that"
but since then I've been really baffled and confused as to WHY
which I don't mean in a gratifying way rather than it being more like I fit more for purpose/reason being alive to someone/something, than dead.. but what or whom, two years later I'm still waiting for that reason.

Maybe I shouldn't be in a rush to find out because once I've achieved it, that will be the end of me again... but this time for good deep down I think I know what I've been given this borrowed time for and for now all I'll say, that's a wager I've got going just between me & God..

For a change, may the best man loose

Anyways, if you are someone like me feeling either lucky, blessed or feel like a pawn even...
how's thing been with or for you since your escape from death???

In the meanwhile happy 2nd anniversary to me
" hope I've just not gone and jinked myself with that line"

Suicide is a huge nono in Heaven, and the Father was about to burn his soul from Him until Christ stepped in and shielded him from certain burning. Judas couldnt believe that was part of the Fathers plan all along. That it was played out as it was supposed to. For if he did not betray Jesus Christ, we would be far worse off than men realise.

Judas still believed it was his doing and not God's or Christs wish he do this,

Why is Judas the Lamb of God? well the most obvious answer is in all the pictures over the past two thousand years Christ is holding the lamb, And we all know for certain that The Shepard holding the Lamb is not the Lamb, in the picture. But is the Shepherd.
So 100% with certainty Christ is not the lamb since hes holding it.
Judas didnt become the lamb because of his betrayal, but because he committed suicide. He trried to end his Life, Father Gave Him. Like spitting Father & Family in the face while pissing on sacred ground. Massive NO!!!
Father was going to strip Judas of his soul and throw him into the dark.

This is When Christ stepped in and saved Judas's life, from Father's Wrath. This is why you see Christ holding the lamb so dearly, So in turn Father prevented Judas from ever becoming a sheep, and remains a Lamb for all eternity.

This also ties into the saying. "I will come like a thief in the night", It's a message to say "I will arrive, with the thief with me" the thief is Judas because he tried to steal his own life. So Judas has now two roles the thief and the lamb. what will the thief steal though and from whom??

Apart from humans, all other species live their life without God, then why do humans only need God?

If believing in God brings good changes in us then it is good to believe in God, But there are more ideological conflicts among those who believe in God than among those who do not believe in God.
Everyone says that God is one but they have created different religions by giving different names to God. And they are fighting each other because of religious differences.
The reason behind most of the wars in the world is theological differences.

If you look deeply into all the Holy Books, they all have the same meaning and purpose. The only differences are in the language and some rules due to the environment of that place.

As long as we give importance only to 'words', there will be more differences among us humans, when we start giving importance to the 'meaning' then unity among us humans will increase.

It is said that scientists are searching for a way or a cure to make humans live forever. But sometimes I wonder, do we really want that? Many would say a resounding yes, without much thought. However, I sometimes ponder, does someone, somewhere in this world, possess this gift/curse (and you'll see why I use both terms for it)?

First of all, we need to go back to the beginning of time when God created Adam and Eve, followed by their banishment from heaven to Earth, where theoretically, they lived for nearly 1000 years (Adam around 800 and something and Eve around 900, according to the Bible). However, this is what the Bible teaches us, a book that, even though it should be sacred, has been written and edited by many different hands. Therefore, I can't help but wonder if the truth might be different. Could it be that Adam and Eve are still among us, disguised as one of us, and with good reason (but I'll get to their reasons for hiding/disguising themselves a bit later)?

If we think about it, Adam and Eve were the first humans created by God, and a thought crosses my mind in the middle of the night. Would God really create the first two humans with mortal bodies? Would He want His first human creations to perish? Or would He prefer them to live forever, as a constant reminder for both God Himself (to see what His first creations looked like) and for the two of them (to remember the mistakes they made)? Even during the moment when God got angry with them and banished them to Earth to experience life with its ups and downs... would He really punish them by giving them mortality? Or would He prefer to punish them by giving them the opposite of mortality - immortality?

Why do I say this? Well (and here's where you'll learn why they might be hiding/disguising), immortality might be seen as a blessing, but it could actually be a curse. If what I believe is true, if Adam and Eve are immortal, they must have witnessed many pleasant events in their eternal lives, like the birth of their first children and those who followed. But they also witnessed unpleasant and very unpleasant events, such as the deaths of their own children, and the struggle between Cain and Abel, which ended, as we all know, with the first murder ever committed, and not just any murder, but a murder between brothers. And if what I'm trying to say is true, they must have witnessed so many unpleasant events in their eternal lives that most likely, while scientists are searching for immortality, the two (Adam and Eve, that is) are probably searching for death.

I've heard people say, "How could I end up in hell if I don't believe it exists?" And honestly, I was surprised... in my mind, it was something like, "Seriously?! How foolish can one be to ask such a ridiculous question?" Hell and heaven don't exist based on what we believe or don't believe. How closed-minded must one be to think that if you choose not to believe in the existence of hell, it will cease to exist... what on earth?! Regardless of what we choose to believe or not, heaven and hell are and will always be just as real. You end up there based on how you've lived your life, on how many good or bad deeds you've done, on how pure or stained your soul is when you pass away, and on how kind or wicked you've been as a human being. Based on all these factors and more, God will decide where you belong. You won't just cease to exist if you didn't believe in God, heaven, or hell. I believe there are many who would wish it were that simple, and the thought serves as consolation for them. But it's not that simple at all. Wake up, good people! Think with the heads you have on your shoulders, not with someone else's. Don't adopt the foolish ideas of others and make them your own, because that won't do you any good, and there might come a day when you realize it's too late, and no matter how much you wish to change something, you won't be able to do a thing. Don't squander your soul just because someone told you it's okay. In the end, that someone won't be able to save your soul when it's too late. They won't even be able to save their own.

And maybe some of you are wondering, "Okay, but if that's true, why don't we know about them? Why would they hide?" Here's my answer: Probably over the years, in their desperation to find immortality, they've tried many times to offer themselves to scientists for experiments, hoping that scientists would be able to achieve what neither of the two parties could achieve separately. Namely, 1. Scientists finding immortality, and 2. Adam and Eve finding a way to die. Maybe they thought that if they joined forces, they could make everyone happy. After years and years of experiments, and most likely, torment for the two, they realized that the result was not satisfying for anyone. And then, they realized that they had to give up and continue living their lives, whether it's as a blessing or a curse for them.

As for us, ordinary people, and the question of why we don't know about their existence, I have two possible answers. First, someone who worked on writing the Bible altered the truth. Here, motives can be diverse, and I won't list them all. And second, personally, they will never tell a human, no matter how close they are (if they are family friends or something... I'm sure they've had enough of those in their lives, so they're used to lying). They will never be able to tell anyone, "You know, we're immortal because I'm Adam, and my wife is Eve." That's if they're still together... if not, they might have chosen to live separate lives, forming couples with various people.

But let's get back to the topic... how crazy would that sound to someone, "I'm immortal because I'm Adam, and my wife is Eve"? And if they said that to someone, who in this world would believe them? And if, after some time, they somehow managed to convince someone, who would that be to not recommend that they try what they've already tried - "to offer themselves to scientists for experiments"?

I'll end this lengthy subject here, although I could go on for a few more lines... but since I believe I've taken enough of your time, and I think some of you have thought enough... I can only thank you for your attention and tell you... stop searching for immortality because someone out there may have it and want to get rid of it.
