1/ This quote in the video below (WATCH it before reading on) of #Reagan’s needs repeating and emphasis and much more conversation than it has gotten. When the Almighty lifted Noah’s Ark…

14/ …needed and it certainly was not Jesus Christ, His apostles. Only John remained alive (as the Lord had promised) as the docrtines were corrupted and the priesthood taken. It was an apostasy of apostasies. Christ Himself (the greatest, purest, most powerful and…

17/ …Peter upside down not feeling worthy enough to be crucified in the same manner as His Master and Lord, whom He had known in life…

18/ …up to the end and whose resurrection He was an eyewitness of. The Bible takes a turn it never had. Books stopped being added to it…

19/ …-the collection then known as the Septuagint (which was a collection of many books and writings of prophets down through the ages) and the flooating books of the New Testamnet, no other books were produced (not counting the Apocrypha) ever after as they had been since the beginning of time, after this most unusual apostasy. There are many reasons why like Christ the apostles had to give…

20/ …their lives (first and foremost as a witness to His life, Atonement and Resurrection) but unlike how much of “fallen” man has…

21/ …interpreted this, this was another apostasy on an epic scale, when considering His death (most planned and of eternally supreme importance, above all other facets of God’s plan) and the death of His apostles, whom He gave all the Priesthood keys of the Kingdom. The priesthood authority was gone! Doctrines were twisted and even lost.

22/ Things not even in the New Testament crept into the early and later fragmented church. One of the clearest is the Trinity, which…

31/ One place where He bled at every pore and took upon Satan and his legions and another by being punctured by cowardly human beings…..

32/ Clearly this was a life, from the star at His birth, angels announcing to chosen others (His VIRGIN mom, John The Baptists parents-who was to prepare the way) and many others immediately before and in all of human history,

41/ …of good character and inspiration from heaven, not the onslaught of bizzare and historic Egypt like curses. Of all the places in the world that should have been blessed it should have been the region in and around Rome and under their control stretching down into Alexandria.

42/…Instead, we see a curse so intense no honest man or women with real faith and intelligence (after being presented the evidence) can deny it, and it wasn’t just some divine thumping to humble. It was a complete series and onslaught of epic destruction lasting centuries and a digression perhaps like we have never known, a collapse of the empire, the loss of the Classical Age progression/advances and secular knowledge, a true, longstanding curse upon all things Roman and FITTINGLY so. The Dark Ages lasted centuries and even…

43/ …when they were over they still persisted in many respects. It was a time unlike any other and the secular knowledge vanished.

56/ That God raised up this government administered by fallen men (which is why He raised up such wise and inspired men to..

57/ place all those checks and balances in place, because God works around the free choice and fallen nature of men) and that as

68/ In closing, as further clarification and proof of the apostasy and God’s plan to work around fallen man (as is the wisdom
