   this is all bull, these are not churches.   
   And they can tell you nothing about God, and what is the real truth.   
      
   Here psalm 40   
   8 All my enemies whispered together against me: they devised evils to   
   me. 9 They determined against me an unjust word: shall he that sleepeth   
   rise again no more? 10 For even the man of peace, in whom I trusted, who   
   ate my bread, hath greatly supplanted me. 11 But thou, O Lord, have   
   mercy on me, and raise me up again: and I will requite them. 12 By this   
   I know, that thou hast had a good will for me: because my enemy shall   
   not rejoice over me. 13 But thou hast upheld me by reason of my   
   innocence: and hast established me in thy sight for ever.   
      
      
   See where it says O Lord?    well, the fact is, the word Lord, is in the   
   true Holy Bible 7199 times,  and it does not mean, that it is always God   
   in all those times it speaks about him, but this place here, it is Him,   
   that it speaks about.  Now, do you think for one moment that these   
   idiots on here, think they know from their protestant changed screwed up   
   KJV Bibles that they know when it speaks about God,? and not some idiot   
   man or king??/    They do not, therefore, they know very little about my   
   God.  Nor can they be a preacher about Him   
   without the proper laying on of hands.  Neither can they hear the Holy   
   Trinity, Or Holy Ghost, because they refuse it. The real true catholic   
   church, of which the orthodox, is to a part of her.   
      
   In truth,  the above is correct what it says.  And Jeremias also   
   foretold the evil of these men who claim they are His true Church.   
   they know nothing.  Big evil dummy's that lie yes.
