[The Matrix Traveller]

Sadly there is a lot of "superstition", and senseless "fear" regarding "Star Gates" based on a lack of knowledge.

There is nothing new about the use of such devices.   

They have been around for eons, re.  in the context of the Aeon, (an extremely long, or indefinite, period of time).

btw i just watched this new star trek movie, and it was awesome, although i have a few complaints. 

I've seen it too back on Thursday and I might I add I liked the  first scene and planet they were first on, rather in the name of that M Class planet they were on.   I thought to myself what an interesting name.   


Oh and yes I second that too.   It is a good movie as well, on par with the first reboot.

Yeah but at the same time, this is an Alternate Universe where the stories are "slightly" different although having a similar feel.  Hence Alternate meaning not the original.

Sadly the writings have been "Bastardised" by the human Species.      

Even the Carpenter told this to his disciples, Quote;

39.   Jesus said, "The Pharisees and the Scribes
have taken THE KEYS of KNOWLEDGE and HIDDEN Them.

They themselves have NOT entered,
nor have they allowed to enter those who wish to.

You, however, be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves."

Matrix, as always, you are welcome to your opinion about the Bible. But, I cannot find the scripture exactly as you have quoted it. Do you have the specific book and scripture of the Bible to reference, or is this statement coming from elsewhere, like Thomas maybe, or from gnostic stuff??

Thanks!

i'm not terribly fond of some gnostic texts myself, but i would also like to remind you that the text of the old testament was under the sole purview of the people jesus called the "synagogue of satan" and then later, both the old testament and the new testament, were under the sole purview of the vatican, which the book of revelation seems to suggest is the great whore.   to suggest the text is not even slightly corrupted or missing huge chunks, is asking alot, particulary when the argument that god protects it from such machinations, hasn't held true for any changes that have been made to it for at least a couple centuries.

i think it's time to quit relying on other men to tell you what it all means, and ask jesus to reveal it to you, then be prepared to accept the answers.

[Amaterasu]

That's very gentlemanly....er womanly..... er personally... of you Am, you open a lot of doors in more than a rhetorical sense.

[smile] I surely like to believe You're right.  Thanks!

i kinda liked the nostic stuff.not saying its true but it sure made for better reading.i enjoyed the apocrypha too.its nice to read something other than the bible if your a religious nut like i use to be.

i'm interested in comparative analogies of  stuff that predated jesus.  stuff that comes after his time on earth and prophecies, i'm not as interested in.   i'm not terribly thrilled with the book of revelation atm, becuase it concerns me that it may also be corrupted, and if it is, then the leaders of the planet are aware of it and using it like a playbook.  and if that's the case, we are in some serious doo-doo, depending on how much of the original text is legit  i think it's a mixture of legit and seemingly not legit (remnants of the babel incident perhaps), with some translation problems and 1500 years of papal interpretation screwing the whole thing up.  add to that, 500 years of hard core atheism, which takes the complete opposite position based on papal interpretations, and the idea we might actually be able to uncover the truth on a massive scale, gets more and more remote. 

if it ain't the failures of times past, it's the people of today claiming the failures are ample reason to just toss out 1000s of years of ancient history.  that drives me bonkers. 

[robomont]

tossing out history? you got that right.
the billionaires  and govs around the world are chasing the same thing we are and its just a matter of time before enough pieces are put together and the big picture is discovered.

  which same things?

No, they are not.  In the many interviews with JJ and part of the cast and old cast members they have all said how now they can create a new startrek with out infringing or impinging with the Original Startrek Universe.    All due to how JJ  came out with the first reboot and the story line that emerged from that.
