Do What Thou Wilt
77Introduction
I would first like to say I appreciate you coming here to read this. Part of what is revealed is very shocking. If you are a Christian, I suggest you pray before reading further and pray as you read and watch the videos. If you are not a christian, I want you to know that you can be.
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Joh 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
God loves you so much that He actually gave us His Son. God's Son already took the punishment for our sins.
Aleister Crowley
The book of the law was received and written by Aleister Crowley. He actually received it from a spirit which was of Satanic origin. The simple phrase, "Do what thou wilt," encompasses everything, good or bad, that a person wants to do. It also opens a door that Satan can enter into.
Many have written that Aleister Crowley was misunderstood. He has many followers even today who hold to what he wrote in his book of the law. His life was full of Sorcery, witchcraft, Satan worship, and general evilness. He died a lonely man addicted to heroine and it has been said that his last words were, "I am perplexed. . ."
He has been called by some, "The patron saint of Rock and Roll." He has certainly inspired many through his teachings and philosophy. Aldous Huxley, Anton LaVey, Charles Manson, Kenneth Anger, Michael Aquino (who appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show), and a countless number of musicians and singers.
He is also called the Father of the Hippy Movement. He called himself the beast and lived his life accordingly. He is quoted as saying, "I was not content to believe in a personal devil and serve him, in the ordinary sense of the word. I wanted to get hold of him personally and become his chief of staff."
Mark Kilroy was found murdered in Matamoras, Mexico in 1989. He had been spending time in Mexico during spring break when he disappeared suddenly. When it was found out that he was murdered another discovery was made. Dozens of bodies were found mutilated in sacrificial fashion. They had been sacrificed as blessings over drug manufacturing.
Carlos Tapia, Chief Deputy of Cameron County, Texas stated, "I thought in my twenty two years of law enforcement I had seen everything. I hadn't. As we drew near, you could smell the stench...blood and decomposing organs. In a big, cast iron pot there were pieces of human bodies and a goat's head with horns."
Adolfo Constanzo and Sara Aldrete were proteges of Aleister Crowley and Anton LeVay, (the founder of the church of Satan), and were deep into the occult and black magic. They thought if they sacrificed humans to Satan, their shipments of Marijuana would be made invisible from law enforcement.
The whole of the law, Do what thou wilt, allowed Constanza to murder and sacrifice at will. There are no rules under this law. Nothing to keep one from doing whatever horrible things their mind can imagine. Snuffing out a life is no more than swatting a fly.
Aleister Crowley
Church of Satan
The founder of the church of Satan was Anton LeVay. He viewed Satan as a real entity and although he believed in the God of the bible, he refused to worship Him and made a conscious decision to worship Satan. He adopted Crowley's, Do what thou wilt is the whole of the law, and actually did what he wanted to do.
LeVay deceived many people because he always presented a watered down version of the true facts. He knew that many would not receive him or satanism if they knew the whole truth. Unfortunately, many had fallen prey to his deception and ended up possessed by devils. Why is it so hard to understand? Jesus called Satan a liar, (Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. ), so why do people think it might be above him to tell a lie? Jesus spoke truth to all and never told a lie, (Joh 8:45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. ), and they didn't believe Him.
If you are reading this, it is not too late for you. Jesus loves you and wants to save you. He wants to hold you in His arms and keep you safe. He doesn't want you to go down the road to destruction so many others have traveled through the years. (2Co 6:2 For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
Anton LeVay
Scientology or Satanism?
L. Ron Hubbard had close ties to Jack Parsons who was the head of Crowley's Ordo Templi Orientis. The book of the law written by Crowley was most likely the most important book in Hubbard's life.
L. Ron Hubbard considered himself to be the one to take on the mantle of the beast after Crowley's death. He also stated that Scientology was born on the day that Crowley died, December 1, 1947. Hubbard Jr, quoted his father as saying, “Also I've got to complete this by saying that he thought of himself as the Beast 666 Incarnate." Interviewer: "The devil?" Ron Jr.: "Yes. Aleister Crowley thought of himself as such. And when Crowley died in 1947 my father then decided that he should wear the cloak of the beast; and become the most powerful being in the universe. He thought he was Satan. He was one with Satan. He had a direct pipeline of communication and power with him.”
Ron Hubbard, JR, “The one super-secret sentence that Scientology is built on is: 'Do as thou wilt. That is the whole of the law.' It also comes from the black magic, from Aleister Crowley. It means that you are a law unto yourself, that you are above the law, that you create your own law. You are above any other human considerations.”
Hubbard also thought he would lead mankind in the battle against Jesus Christ at His return. Also mentioned is a brief period of time in which the enemy of Christ or Antichrist will have power to sway opinions.He actually thought Jesus' return could be stopped. Of course he must first reach a godlike status before this could happen.
Scientology is nothing more than the whole of the law that Crowley had written. Do what thou wilt had become the saying and law of this new system of belief. It is the same as it was when Crowley first wrote it. Nothing has changed, except the disciples who usher it into the mainstream populace.
Testimony of an exscientologist. I actually thought it to be kind of funny in a way.
Scientology and Satanism
Hollywood and Satanism
Hollywood keeps pushing the envelope going deeper and deeper into the occult and satanism. Morals are thrown away and ethics are tossed aside. Murder, sexual deviancy, homosexuality, fornication, teen sex, adultery, witchcraft, Wicca, etc. . are all a part of the plan of satanism, the Church of Satan, Scientology, etc. . .
Our children are being brainwashed into believing these things are normal. They are indoctrinated into believing there is nothing wrong with having sex as a teenager. Do what thout wilt is the whole of the law in Hollywood also.
Many well known actors and actresses call upon the spirits to help them achieve star status or to help them with a role or scene. It sounds more like New Age doesn't it? Yes it does sound like New Age, but it also sounds just like satanism.
Oprah Winfrey is one of the biggest preachers of satanism there is today. She calls her TV show a ministry. Her status as a superstar allows her to reach more people than most others can.
She once had a guest on her show named Michael Acquino. Michael Acquino founded the Church of Set a break away form the Church of Satan founded by Anton LeVay. Acquino made it clear to Oprah that they are following Satan who is the original rebel.
Acquino is quoted as saying, “We believe that this quality in the human soul that makes it different from all other life forms…was deliberately inculcated in humanity in its distant evolutionary past by an active agency that is acting in defiance of the universal norm. And that agency has been caricatured…as Lucifer, as Satan, and in the greatest antiquity by the ancient Egyptians as Set.”
Acquino went on to explain that the way they believe as satanists will turn them into gods. He also declared, "We are not servants of some god, we are our own gods." Oprah appeared shocked in finding out this was the same belief that New Agers believe.
Oprah replied to Acquino the following quote. “Well, the way you explain this is very the way a lot of people who are into metaphysics now and the New Age movement and New Age thinking, they say the very same thing. Are you saying that it’s the same?” Acquino then answered without wavering, "Yes."
This shows that the New Age belief is rooted in the doctrine of Aleister Crowley, the great beast, the writer of the book of the law. Do as thou wilt is now a New Age belief.
Oprah and Denzel Summon Spirits
Rock Stars and Actors
There is a long list of rock stars and actors who follow the teachings of Aleister Crowley. The law which he wrote has become the law which they live by. All the beliefs mentioned above and more than I wrote about are based upon the doctrine or Crowley.
Rock and Roll music is one of the greatest tools that is used by Satan. As mentioned earlier in this hub, many rock musicians and singers have adopted the Book of the Law written by Crowley. They like Crowley, know the devil is real and that God is real, but they choose/chose to serve Satan. Much of the music sung today is geared toward young teens and pre-teens. It is done to infiltrate their minds to instill the do what thou wilt philosophy.
If you have been deceived by the doctrines of Crowley or any of his disciples, it is not too late for you my friend. There is still time to turn away from the satanic cult and give your life to Jesus Christ. The Word of God spells it our very plainly.
Rev 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Satan will continue to accept you if you want to stay that route. What Jesus offers is free to you or anyone else who wants it. What Satan offers will cost you your soul. Are you willing to pay that price? The choice is yours to make. I pray you make the right choice.
Mark of the Beast
A Little Add On
I realized this hub ended with another satanic video. I decided to add one that is more positive. It is all about Jesus.

Did you know that Satan wants people to obey the law. That is fine with him, man's law, not God's. He does not want anyone to get saved by Jesus! That's the whole point that keeps us out of hell. People like this person who will perish, they want to live for today, do what they please because they lack the Spirit of the Living God. We are not here simply just to be good servants to Man's laws, we are here to help others see the truth of who Jesus was. Their only hope of Salvation. Satan doesn't care if man's laws are broken or kept, he wants people just like that one foolish man, to lead all astray, turning anyone away from the true doctrine of the church that is Christ. Hard hub. I hope many come to Christ through it.
Vladimir, I deleted your second comment as it was identical to the first.
Sciantel, I appreciate your input. Satan is so conniving and scheming it isn't even funny. I only hope this hub helps someone to get out of bopndage.
not a bad hub thanks
Thanks for the comment silly. I think you might have more to say though.
My dad worked for the Scientologists awhile back and while that was one of his better paying jobs, I will just say I do not agree with their practices. They had him rig Christmas like lighting in a hallway, which he was just chuckling to himself when they had him do this. It was not Christmas by the way, they just wanted some fun lighting for some weird reason lol.
Oprah really is not an evil person. I thin kthere are other people in the world that do worse things than her, that is my only point.
Actually Oprah allows all sides to state views on her show. I do not watch her show as much anymore, but I remember in the 90's she devoted an entire show to teens that preached people should read the Bible and wait until marriage to have sex. She is fair and allows people to state their views and often has Christians on her show, so I would say there are people who are far discriminatory and not open to other views.
I wonder if your dad used chaser lights in their hallway. They seem to be chasing after something. :P That is kind of funny.
Oprah preaches a message of Satanism. It is possible she' doesn't realize what she is preaching. Allowing others views on a show makes for good drama. It is also possible in the 90's that she had a different view or belief.
SirDent, Great hub and great information, well written, as always. This doesn't come to a shock to me. When the whole thing came out about Tom Cruise and some more of the hollywood set joining up with these people, I decided to research it. I knew it was bad from a speaker years ago talk about it. Then I began to look into it myself. I was greatly disappointed that people with so much talent would join something so well.......cult. And it is a cult. I don't know any other way to describe it. It changes people to the bad many times. Look at Tom now. He acts crazy and does bizzare things. Things he would have not done until he joined this cult. It's hard for me to watch one of his movies now without thinking of this huge mistake he's made and with his influence he has, has influenced fans to join also. Which, that will be on his hands one day. I'm so glad you brought this to light. Oprah lost fans this past year due to the fact that she didn't let Palin come on her show. I have a friend who watched her, but now won't because of that. She thought all this time she was a fair person, but now she doesn't. She has friends who feel the same way. Oprah seems to kinda go with whatever is popular in hollywood. You know she loves Tom C. Her beliefs have never reflected Christian values. Sure, she gives things to poor people and audience members. But, hey, if I owned that much stuff and had that much money, I'd be giving away a ton more than I do now. Plus, this helps her to fill the chairs at her show and make more people watch at home. It's ratings. She's from my state, but this is not something I brag about. When people want to know famous people from my state, she's not the first name to come to my mind. I do wonder if she realizes that she promotes. I hope she doesn't and that she wakes up because so many listen to her as an advisor. Hollywood seems to be leaning farther and farther from Chrisitanity. This is sad because so many people put them on a pedistal, so they want to be like them, even in their belief system, without researching it. Actors, singers, celebrities, sports figures, etc, are all just humans. They do not have a speical connection with God any more than we 'normal' people do. No one should follow a belief just because a star or someone on TV does. That's just foolishness and I wonder if they follow the belief or worship the star. Both are wrong and if they follow a human, they will land in Hell. Whether it's Tom or L Ron Hubbard or anyone else. That road is wide and easy to follow. And ends in a very hot place. I see that your hub hasn't gotten a lot of posts. But, I do figure many have read it. You are planting good seeds. Thanks for writing this hub. God bless you and your family. Keep up the great work. I hope you and your family had a great Christmas!
How does Oprah teach Satansism?
Do What Thou Wilt and Harm No One is the whole story. Harm No One. Those that Do are not adherring to the Law at all. There will be those Cults that do this and maybe Satan is their leader, but do you think Satan knows they are following him? The more you preach and teach against Satan the more he likes it. Call it Cause and effect or Karma of sorts. All that is in that Bible. Do Unto Others As You Would Hfve Them Do Unto You, Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself, What you Sow you shall also Reap, and many other verses in that Bible. Should we love our neighbor even though we know they are following Satan? I am not being argumentative. just asking questions.
If Satna has so much power to carry one away with him, then how much more power does God and Jesus have to put him away? Where is the Love Of God in your preaching? I see very little of that and more on what is wrong with Satan. The more you birng Satan to the forefront the more power you give him.
Thank you very much ASU for the read and comment. I didn't know she wouldn't have Sarah Palin on her show. I wonder if that makes her a racist? I know it seems everyone who didn't support Obama were called racists.
LG, did you read the hub or just the comments? If you read the hub, you would understand.
There is plenty of scripture in this hub showing the love of God. There is also plenty of it to show that what is written here is true. If you believe what I wrote, fine. If you don't believe it, fine.
Oprah channels spirits. Guess where these spirits come from. There are many spiritualists who think they are channeling spirits of actualy people when the are merely channeling unclean spirits that coem from the pits of hell.
Mayb it is OK with you if your neighbor goes into hell blind and not knowing that he or she is following Satan, but it is not OK with me.
Hell is full of well intentioned people who thought they were doing the right thing.
hahahahah Good question! And yes, I've been called that on here. Because I'm white and have a house I'm racist. WHATEVER! LOLOLOL I would have gladly voted for Obama had he stood for the values and beliefs I have. I don't care if he was green and pink polka dotted with orange hair. There were several petitions passed and sent to Oprah with names of viewers of her show asking her to have Palin on there, but she still refused. I guess since she indeed has 'Oprah money' that it wont hurt her to lose viewers. But, I do wish she wouldn't pass on such views as she does on her show. She is misleading many people.
Just so you and everyone else knows, I was only joking about her being a racist. I have seen her give stuff away on her show before and the people stand screaming and shouting. I have also seen God try to move in a Church service and the people would yawn and are anyone to try and move them. Then again, I have seen people shouting and screaming in Church while the spirit moved them. I have seen healings come to some but not to all.
Just had another thought. When the people shout and scream at Oprah or anyone. it is a spirit. The shouting is one of reverance and worship. I sense another hub coming on now. ;)
From reading the Bible, you know that hell is mentioned more times than Heaven. That is because God loves us so much He made sure we are amply warned about it. Also, about SirDent, I feel that he is being an excellent neighbor by loving people enough to take the time to make hubs like this in order to show them the truth so they can make the right decisions and show them how to make Jesus their Savior. How much more love can a person show? I admire him for the stand he takes for God. He always does it in a loving way and for the right reasons........Because he loves God and therefore the souls of everyone, and doesn't want to see a single person go to hell. I think that is very admirable. He does what he does to serve God and serve people in showing them the way to Heaven. There's no greater service he could do.
I knew you were kidding about that. So was I about the racism part (as evidenced by my lols and hahahahs), but the spreading of bad beliefs, I wasn't. That part concerns me. And yes, you are right about the spirit moving, you should have been at our church last night, it was GREAT!!!!
I appreciate your last comment ASU. I feel undeserving of it. I know that I do not love like God loves men. Let Him have the glory and praise. I can only do what He allows me to do.
I know you knew I was kidding. But you know how it is. Many would come here accusing me of being racist against Oprah by claiming she is racist against Sarah Palin. :P
We had a great service yesterday also. Shouting and one person gave their life to the Lord yesterday. I really feel the door of salvation is being closed. Time is running out and night is coming when no one will be able to work.
I feel the same way. So does our pastor. He preached on that yesterday. On the reality that we don't have plenty of time promised to us. And that signs are everywhere if we open our spitirual eyes that this is the time talked about in Daniel and Revelation. I pray a lot for my family. Me, my husband and son are all saved, but I have cousins, uncles, aunts, etc that are not saved. That is a huge concern of mine. But, I feel that most families are the same way. We really need to lift up each other in prayer now more than ever.
The bombong raids Israel is making right now also points to the end. All the Arab nations have condemned Israel along with every other nation in the world excpet the USA and Australia.
I also noticed the rockets Hamas launched were aimed toward Ashdod and Ashkelon.
Amo 1:7 But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour the palaces thereof:
Amo 1:8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn mine hand against Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord GOD.
Yes Sir Dent I read the whole hub and I didn't even read any of the comments before I posted mine.
What I come away with in your hub is Satan and Evil and Hatered-not the love of God. Jesus said Fear NOt of him. So you would rather give Satan more power than God--how belittling of you and those who tell the story of FEAR and Self righteousness. What you sow will be what you reap. You sow fear and you will get back fear of you. They will not see the love of God through your words about Satan. Foro God's sake, God gave you a Son and Your Wife too and that was a miracle--no go out and teach of that--not the Fear of Satan. God is love. He is more powerful than Satan and I put my trust and faith in him and his love--not turn it around and put it into hatred for Satan--whom God has dealt with on our behalf.
You cannot put God ins a Box for you to say that they cannot have any part of him unles you want them too. God is much bigger than that.
I saw where one of the few Muslim nations that are/were 'friends' with them, Turkey, is criticizing them, too. But, Isreal kept their word in the cease fire for peace. It was the muslims that broke the treaty. I can't blame Isreal for not sitting still like a sitting duck and be attacked. This shows that they cannot be trusted and I hope Isreal stands up for itself. I have a friend who's grandparents live in Isreal still. They are worried that we wont stand with them once Obama is in office. As you said, it's all going along with prophecy.
LG, all I can say to you is this. Fire is hot and ice is cold. Once you figure out what that really means, come back and post another comment.
God made a way. It is of God and it is God. All those who came before are theives.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In my previous comment I said the rockets were aimed at Ashdod and Ashkelon. I need to make a correction. They went toward those cities from what I understand. the rockets "supposedly" are not aimable rockets.
ASU, I also read somewhere last night that Israel planned for about a week on how to do the bombing raids with as few civilian casualties as possible. Ia lso read last night that Israel opened one blockade to allow Humanitarian aid and cooking fuel in.
Of course many of the Arab nations that condemned Israel stated that it was a move against Arabs.
So Moses, Joseph, Execial, and all the other prophets in the Bible are thieves. i bet they feel really proud of that label. Hmmm......
...and you would know exactly what God is and how he operates. you are his Righ Hand Man? Interesting. Who gives you that authority? If you say God then you would be lying and if you say Stan then you would also be lying. So fire is hot and Ice is cold-----------no duh!
I am out of here. I don't like hatred of anyone. That is what you are displaying--not love. You have been told that before by others. So you can have your God in your box, but he is not just in that box.... if that is what makes you happy so be it.
I don't know why I am allowing your last comment LG but it is there.
The authrority that Ihave comes from Jesus Christ. Those He called theives were not the prophets, but the many saviors that had come before Him. God set the standard by which everyone will be judged. Do you measure up to God? Did you create the earth? Did you hang it on nothing? Did you toss the stars out into the universe? Of course the anwer is "NO."
God set the standard by which man can come to Him also. He didn't change the standard for anyone. It is the same way now as it was in the time of Abraham.
Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Mat 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Mat 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Mat 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
I saw that on the news. It makes me feel like no matter what good things Isreal tries, it will always be condemned. For them to go to the time to figure out where to to this as to harm as few people as possible says a lot about them. Although I'm sure most people don't feel that way. I still do. They could have been like the muslims and just killed whatever and whoever they could have, but had the heart not to. It seems no matter what Isreal does, they are condemned by everyone that they are against the Arabs. What about what the Arabs do? Seems they are found to have good reason by the same people who talk against Isreal. I am just ready for Him to come get us.
In the eyes of many around the world, the Arabs are the ones being terrorized. It is their land that is being ravaged and taken. Of course they blame everyone else around the world for it happening, but it is their own people who are doing it.
Very true! It's strange to me that people can't see that. Or, I guess, don't want to see it?
Willful blindness? And they tell us to pull our heads out of the sand!!!!!! :P
LOL well said! It seems a lot that they hear someone say that something is one way, and instead of studying it for themselves to find the truth, they take what liberal media says or perhaps on hubpages, they believe what the most liberals on here say. I don't understand why people don't want to find out the truth for themselves instead of being blind followers.
Very interesting, timely and true. Thank you!!!
ridiculous.
Tell me Bee why you think it is ridiculous.

Very Interesting! Check this out: http://hubpages.com/hub/aaoulsincarnation
Who wrote the book of Genesis.
Some say it could only be written by God as were the Ten Commandments. Of course, we have no physical evidence of the tablets containing the commandments.
One thing for sure, Genesis nor any of the books of the Bible were written contemporaneously. At the time of Genesis, there was no formal language. If there was a language even in the time of the Garden of Eden, it didn't survive, otherwise there wouldn't have been any need to change to the many languages found in the early civilization.
The world supposedly started with just Adam and Eve and followed with their children. This is like the Big Bang of people. It was homogeneous and everyone had the same language, whatever it was. As the population grew, it grew from the same source.
Modern day language is only a few thousand years old but the variations around the world are in the thousands. This doesn't make sense, unless Adam and Eve were not alone.
It is apparent that language developed and evolved over time. For Adam and Eve to be created by God, their language should have been sophisticated and developed in the Garden of Eden. Apparently, it was not, otherwise it would have lasted throughout time. Unless, you think God was not capable of providing a perfect language for his creation.
The bible should been written by God and been given to Adam and Eve as a guide for their existence. Before being thrown out of the Garden for disobeying God, there was the tree of knowledge, yet God didn't want Adam and Eve to have knowledge. This is a paradox that no one can really explain.
Also, if all souls are equally important to God, then the first billion or more souls were throwaways because they didn't have language, civilization or the same God. Even in the 20th Century the world still have primitive civilizations that had no concept of the bible or its God.
While Genesis was not the first book written in the Bible, it should have been the first. Genesis is not a book about the beginning but about genealogy.
The Bible was not written by a Divine Intellect but written by man within the scope of that being.
The world has always been run by men and women didn't count until the last part of the 20th century. Adam and Eve were not created equally. Why, because Genesis was written by men who could not conceive that women were their equal.
Women were the one that had the children and that was a fact , that had to be accounted for in the bible. But that fact didn't make them any more than a beast of burden.
Genesis doesn't explain how man evolved to take care of themselves, such as shelter, child delivery, child caring, clothes and all the other human things that differentiate us from the rest of Earth's creatures.
I could go on, but you get my drift.
Opinion duck, you err like so many others err. The tree of knowledge of good and evil is what the tree was called. It wasn't just about knowledge. It was about knowing good from evil and vice versa. If Adam hadn't eaten of that tree, there would be no knowledge of anything evil. Once knowledge of evil is known, then man is ashamed and feels guilty.
All the different languages came to be at the tower of Babel. In the beginning there was one language. Adam and eve communicated with one another and they communicated with God. Women were never considered inferior by God. It was men who thought women for be inferior.
You are of the mindset that man evolved, therefore you believe in evolution and God has nothing to do with evolution. God created all things seen and unseen. Evolution is a lie that science tries to pass off as truth. Not too long ago the earth was considered to be millions of years old. Now they believe it to be billions of years old. Why did they change the number of years? They say because of knowledge that they found out, but they did it because they knew evolution had to start earlier to be more believable and be accepted as fact.
Genesis was written by Moses as it was given to him by God Himself. When Moses asked God to show him His glory, God said I will show you my hinder parts, which means the past. We know that Noah was a builder because he built the ark.
Why does it matter how man figured out how to build? Science wants everything explained and tested. Some people just can't accept that things are how they are then enjoy life.
When sin entered into the world, sickness and disease also came. Medical doctors and researchers have been trying to figure out a way to cure sicknesses for centuries and the answer is very simple. If everyone would turn to God and stop sinning against Him, then peace and safety would come. Once sin is eliminated, there will be no more sickness.
Dent, sorry but now I question your nobility.
I don't believe in evolution but nor do I believe the bible. The truth of our existence lies somewhere else.
Nothing that you wrote means anything because you are using the bible as a self authenticating document.
None of the information in the bible is divine.
The world no more needed more than one language, than we need another bible or a hundred versions of the same bible.
In your bible, even with God's help, Moses never found the promised land even though they wandered around for forty years. While the bible contains a lot of wisdom about human nature, there is no divine intelligence in it.
You selectively answered my comments and missed or chose to ignore many of my points. This is what politicians do when they either don't know the answer or they know that the answer is working against them.
Your final paragraph about sin makes no point for your view.
People have not changed in the thousands of years of recorded time. They were bad in the Old Testament and they are possibly even worse now. Evil rules and has always ruled and it will continue to rule as long as there are people in this world.
My final comment is that there are two Gods in the bibles. The God of the Old Testament is the mean and unforgiving God, while Jesus of the New Testament is the humble turn your cheek passive God.
The God from the Garden of Eden was an imperfect God, He couldn't control the Angels or Satan and he produced an imperfect creature Adam, and then cloned Eve from Adam. Instead of understanding that imperfection he punishes Adam and Eve for being his imperfect products.
Instead of calling the experiment a failure, God allows Adam and Eve to procreate and inhabiting the Earth with billions of his imperfect creatures. This even after Cain kills Abel.
A baby that dies in childbirth committed no sin, yet God takes him. People born with brain defects cannot commit sin but are forced to walk the Earth until they die.
i get a totally different understanding from do what thou wilt. to me it means do what u wanna (we been screaming that in new orleans)(and no that is not why our city flooded)because God gave us free will to do so. the only reason why we do evil stuff is because of the lack positive influence, its our fault as a whole that the world is the way it is. if everyone was as determined as satan is satan wouldnt be able to influence us. everyone wants something to stand for. we are followers, no leaders these days, controlled by the desires of the flesh. yall think yall living like God want u to but the churches are the biggest weapons of mental and spiritual oppression. the things of this world are what people live for lol. when u die then what? Denial is the word. Denial of the known fact that whatever you set your mind to you can do it. those who do evil things only decided that instead of staying strong minded and seeing things through they'd be in part with something thats already established and has a strong influence on many people. it doesnt matter if i believe the bible is true or if i believe that GOD is real. i wake up every day and have the right to do what ever i want, i chose to live forever as a leader of positivity, how about you?

Evil exists because nothing can control it, not even the God of the Bible.
Evil is the dominant attribute of the world, no one needs to be taught evil or asked to do evil, it just comes naturally. Good on the other hand is not natural, it has to be taught and enforced by the world. The whole concept of the Bible is to try to get people to be good.
The concept that there was a tree in the Garden of Eden that had the knowledge of Evil tells you that it pre-existed before us. We didn't create it and we wouldn't have known about it without that tree.
If God of the Bible was all good, then the Garden wouldn't have been tainted by Evil. There were no Guardian Angels to help Adam and Eve in the Garden. They were brand new beings without any history of what to do, and it was naive of God to expect them to resist Evil. Especially, since God couldn't control evil.
As for your, free to do anything mantra, yes, you can do anything but if it doesn't conform to society, it could be the last free thing that you do here.
my opinion.....
