That quick, huh?
Maybe that just goes to show you I am onto something here and "they" don't like it being exposed!
the hebrew word 'shekinah' is never mentioned in the bible.. the shekinah is said to be the "majestic manifestation of god which has descended to dwell with mankind.".
the shekinah appeared as a cloudy pillar in the day and a fiery pillar at night.
the nation of moses was led by the shekinah for 40 years.. the word shekinah is taken from passages referring to god dwelling in the tabernacle among the people.

Funes said that ruling out the existence of aliens would be like "putting limits" on God's creative freedom.A far cry from the Pope saying that "aliens are our friends".

On a side note, I cant get at what you are trying to say or what point you are making. Pls clarify.
Since Revelation states that god will descend to dwell with mankind in this new earth, it seems that a new hoax of sorts may be perpetrated.
It could likely be the "abomination" that is spoken of as this "thing" presents itself as the creator-in-fact.
So, if thing appears as a "physical manifestation of God"...would you believe it?
Revelation says god will come to dwell with mankind. Do you think the JWs will buy this apparition?

With increasing numbers of people believing not only in the possibility of intelligent life on other planets, but even claiming encounters with aliens, it is not surprising that the Catholic Church is beginning to explore what effect the discovery of sentient ETs might have on Christian theology.
In: Intelligent Life in the Universe? Catholic belief and the search for
extraterrestrial intelligent life, author Guy Consolmagno SJ, asks:

VATICAN OFFICIAL DECLARES ON NATIONAL TELEVISION: EXTRATERRESTRIAL CONTACT IS REAL
Michael Maregski, Lutheran pastor of Our Holy Father in Rome, is quoted as saying "the ufologists have been speculating for many years that aliens may have been portrayed as angels to our ancestors in antiquity. If this speculation turns out to be proven true; why would angels be buried at the Vatican only to be forgotten?" Father Edward Muldoon, of St. Jude's in Rome, answered pastor Michael Maregski's question with "maybe they are angels, but remember, there were two groups of angels."

His letter to bishops came with a two-page letter from the Vatican Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments, dated June 29 and addressed to episcopal conferences around the world.
“By directive of the Holy Father, in accord with the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, this congregation ... deems it convenient to communicate to the bishops’ conferences ... as regards the translation and the pronunciation, in a liturgical setting, of the divine name signified in the sacred Tetragrammaton,” said the letter signed by Cardinal Francis Arinze and Archbishop Malcolm Ranjith, congregation prefect and secretary, respectively.
The Tetragrammaton is YHWH, the four consonants of the ancient Hebrew name for God.
“As an expression of the infinite greatness and majesty of God, it was held to be unpronounceable and hence was replaced during the reading of sacred Scripture by means of the use of an alternate name: ‘Adonai,’ which means ‘Lord,’” the Vatican letter said. Similarly, Greek translations of the Bible used the word “Kyrios” and Latin scholars translated it to “Dominus”; both also mean Lord.
“Avoiding pronouncing the Tetragrammaton of the name of God on the part of the church has therefore its own grounds,” the letter said. “Apart from a motive of a purely philological order, there is also that of remaining faithful to the church’s tradition, from the beginning, that the sacred Tetragrammaton was never pronounced in the Christian context nor translated into any of the languages into which the Bible was translated.”
The two Vatican officials noted that “Liturgiam Authenticam,” the congregation’s 2001 document on liturgical translations, stated that “the name of almighty God expressed by the Hebrew Tetragrammaton and rendered in Latin by the word ‘Dominus,’ is to be rendered into any given vernacular by a word equivalent in meaning.”

The word Shekinah is taken from passages referring to god dwelling in the tabernacle among the people. Anytime the scriptures refer to an actual presence, face, descending of god...the word Shekinah is used.
Since Revelation states that god will descend to dwell with mankind in this new earth, it seems that a new hoax of sorts may be perpetrated.
Whether it will be an alien presence, or a holographic hoax by man, remains to be seen.
It could likely be the "abomination" that is spoken of as this "thing" presents itself as the creator-in-fact.
A few months ago, the Pope made some statement about 'aliens are our friends' and now the catholic church has decreed to do away with the name yahweh and its incorrect derivatives (jehovah). Could this organization be gradually setting people up for something like this to take place?
According to biblical scripture interpretations and general acceptance, the Shekinah descended:
1. to the garden of eden
2. when the tower of Babel was built
3. to Sodom
4. to Egypt
5. when Red Sea was parted
6.upon Sinai
7. in the pillar of cloud
8. to the sanctuary
9. burning bush
and is supposed to appear again at the time of Gog and Magog

armagh...... according to irish mythology armagh was once the capital of ulster until it was abandoned in the 1st century ce.
the site was named after the goddess macha, and as the settlement grew on the hills* nearby it was also named after the goddess.
ard macha means "the height of macha".
Well, I see some odd stuff here...
"armagh" which sounds more like "armagheddon" than Megiddo.
A place where druids morphed into other secret societies....
A deity associated with war, horses, and soverignity..which sounds like some of the revelation concepts...
The calendar of Lucifer and it's implementation....
A decree of the only saints and scholars qualified to teach gospel which arise from this place "armagh" (which I tend to think is symbolic of the 144,000 "shining ones" who will present themselves as "Teachers" of the new enlightenment.)
It seems this place might possibly be the birthplace of the Blue Lodge.
If Armageddon is a spiritual battle, would it not be against this power of enslavement which presents itself as "light"? This same source has "set up" the religions of the world presenting those institutions "as light". Now that people have seen through the sham and come to their senses, these groups doing the bidding of evil angels must present another plan of control. Same old-same old. They will offer peace and enlightenment in a new package. When you open the package it's still the same mousetrap inside.
from catholic news service:.
washington (cns) -- in the not-too-distant future, songs such as "you are near," "i will bless yahweh" and "rise, o yahweh" will no longer be part of the catholic worship experience in the united states.
at the very least, the songs will be edited to remove the word "yahweh" -- a name of god that the vatican has ruled must not "be used or pronounced" in songs and prayers during catholic masses.. .
As for the "ban" on Yahweh....it only relates to the liturgy or worship service.
I get your point, but I don't think you see the big picture. Just like when WT makes changes, it's done in small increments. And so, they will stop singing a few songs that has yahee in it. And they will stop making reference to yahoo from the pulpit. Then, little by little, "god" begins to become de-personalized. The question to ask is...Why? Because this means that the focus will gradually be on "something else".

they were ordered to get on their knees and bow before the portrait of a hindu preacher.
they were told to turn over their bibles, hymnals and the two brightly colored calendar images of christ that hung on their wall.
I didn't know that Hindu's had a propensity for forced conversions like the Mulims. I don't know what Hinduism teaches really, but I thought it was very science oriented and in harmony with nature and wisdom. Is this just an extreme sect or does the religion, behave this way in general?
Good observations and good questions, Tyrone.
I think most religions seem to present a concept of peace on the surface, just like "Jah's Happy People", but it's all a sham. What illusion could be more peaceful than a fat contented Buddha sitting under the bodhi tree?
No religion is what it seems. It's all slavery to concept beneath the surface.
As far as this "harmony of nature and wisdom" it is an illusion of being philisophical and it is presented in a circular manner. Same sort of circular reasoning as WT if you really look into it. The reasoning is designed to "sound" profound, but are rather nonsensical to the intelligent mind. Phrases like "where can you go if you are already there?"
Anyway, the physical violence is a bit of a surprise.

They were told to turn over their Bibles, hymnals and the two brightly colored calendar images of Christ that hung on their wall. Then, Mr. Digal, 45, a Christian since childhood, was forced to watch his Hindu neighbors set the items on fire.
“ ‘Embrace Hinduism, and your house will not be demolished,’ ” Mr. Digal recalled being told on that Wednesday afternoon in September. “ ‘Otherwise, you will be killed, or you will be thrown out of the village.’ ”

Obscure Preservation of the Sacred Name 'YAHU'
Hebrew personal names have meanings, and many such personal names have throughout time, been linked to the Sacred Name YAHU. In this obscure way, the Sacred Name YAHU has been preserved for modern times, notwithstanding the fact that it has been almost totally removed from most Bible Translations.
The following transliterated versions of the Sacred Names which are in use by various Sacred name groups, are therefore acknowledged:
YHVH YHWH Yahweh Yahveh Yaveh Yaweh Jehova Jehovah Jahova Jahovah Yahova Yahovah Yahowah Jahowa Jahowah Yahavah Jahavah Yahowe Yahoweh Jahaveh Jahaweh Yahaveh Yahaweh Jahuweh Yahuweh Jahuwah Yahuwah Yahuah Yah Jah Yahu Yahoo Yaohu Jahu Yahvah Jahvah Jahve Jahveh Yahve Yahwe Yauhu Yawhu Iahu Iahou Iahoo Iahueh
Do you think the pope will ban emails from yahoo, too? It's on the list.
