TALMUD..... teaching for doctrine the traditions of men, If you haven't noticed GOD forbade the worship of these GODS made of stone, which have NO power. God said he detests the work of man;s hand. The world as we know it is about to end,Just look around you,Prophecy after Prophecy coming true before your eyes,Signs and wonders in the heavens, Bird kills,Strange spirals opening into blackholes,God punishing Satan worshipping nations, Haiti , New Oreleans, Sri Lanka, China what more proof needed?

Excellent example apocalyptic comment for sure. The Millerites thought the same. Please take the time if you will, by informing me what you think the doctrine of God is, so that we might have a topic to investigate if what you say is true or not.

Hello wayman, I'm really glad your video was mirrored. I hadn't heard of you before, but am glad to find you doing a series on the hell subject.

For many years hell has been an issue for me, as I'm sure it is with a great deal of people. For me tho, it was an obsession. From my earliest yrs as a Catholic, I knew instinctively there was something very wrong with the whole hell concept...Orig. Sin too.

I sub.d of course & will be watching all of your videos. I'll get back with U after the series.

[wayman29]

Hey thanks! Been spending time on my religionthink account on here. I talked so much about religion I thought I would take it to a channel just for that. But folks keep subbing here lol. I look forward to the feed back. The videos are rather long and dry so sorry about the presentation. but thanks for watching!

Interesting tidbit. The book of Encoh is referenced in the New Testament Jude 1:14

Jud 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

Jud 1:15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

[wayman29]

Excellent! Thanks for the contribution to the topic.

wayman,

Thanks for saying that, but I don't care about the presentation being dry, my friend. I know you have some very valuable knowledge and that's what is important to me.

I found this series linked rom DanMill23's channel. Interesting stuff =). By the way, I'm pretty sure I discovered that the "sounds of hell" in fact originated from the Sony Pictures Sound Effects set. There was certainly a very similar sound in it.

Great video Wayman. BTY the "Sounds of Hell"-the news came out several years ago, the tape was made at an Amusement Park.
