All it takes is one good Chief.
Solving great mysteries is the job of any good detective.
We have been told that there are considerable mysteries of God that are too awesome for us to understand by those who don’t understand many of them at all. They don’t know Jesus, whose example was love, compassion, and empathy towards the lower class.
In this video, I give you the tools you need to figure one of them out.
Who is the responsible party for destroying great civilizations? Jesus and I are like the “Hardy Boys.” Psalm 21:8 I will find all His enemies.
It is not the percentage of Roman Catholics in our politics that disturb me as much as the number of their minions in our Churches continuing to defend and support them when God is making it clear they are being left behind!
A Mayan King became truly “Born Again,” only he did not have a Bible in his own language, and he had to trust the missionary Diego de Landa to be telling him the truth. Converts are not to perform the ritualistic pull, Jesus, out of heaven to make a cookie become the actual divinity to serve it up as being the body of Christ.
Romans 10:6-7 KJV
(6) But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
(7) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
The early success through peaceful teaching and quiet example of the Franciscan missionaries, however, was short-lived. Within the first few years, it became apparent that verbal teaching would not be enough, as the Mayans remained overall unmoved of Christianity’s lessons.
In 1539 the heads of the three religious orders operating in Mexico met with the Franciscan Bishop Juan de Zumárraga and concluded that the friars of the missionaries could legally inflict “light punishment” on the Mayans.
These moderate disciplines, however, soon turned into cases of brutality. Certain Catholic officials spoke out against these crimes. For example, Vasco de Quiroga, a bishop of Michoacán: “[the regular orders] are now inflicting many mistreatments upon the Indians, with great haughtiness and cruelty, for when the Indians do not obey them, they insult and strike them, tear out their hair, have them stripped and cruelly flogged, and then throw them into prison in chains and cruel irons.”
Diego de Landa Calderón, O.F.M. (12 November 1524 – 29 April 1579) was a Spanish bishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Yucatán. Many historians criticize his campaign against idolatry. In particular, he burned almost all the Maya manuscripts (codices) that would have been very useful in deciphering Maya script, knowledge of Maya religion and civilization, and the history of the American continent. Nonetheless, his work in documenting and researching the Maya was indispensable in achieving the current understanding of their culture, to the degree that one scholar asserted that, “ninety-nine percent of what we today know of the Mayas, we know as the result either of what Landa has told us in the pages that follow, or have learned in the use and study of what he told.”~Wiki
They massacred the Mayans because when he returned to them from Spain, he found them mixing Jesus in with their idolatry????
They continue to walk around as nothing is happening, and it’s business as usual. Talking politics as they are blinded to the signs and the hour they live in.
Let’s help St. Upid’s children find the truth that will set them free!
Evangelists Threaten Mayan Traditions : Religion: Protestant fundamentalists are opposed to Catholic missionaries’ practice of blending rituals to convert the Guatemalan natives.
Is this not what Diego de Landa Calderón was against and had so many of them killed from one extreme to the other only reveals they do not know Jesus.
