I especially like how he claims that God has risen him from the grave to take on the task of being the final Pope.

I addressed your, and others, misuse of the word "claim" at another forum recently, inclusive to answering the specifics of something that you who have replied do not see :

The regular problem I find in explaining what is plain to me is that some others regard what I say as a claim, as if they are holding something of mine that I need to present proof in order to regain that something of mine. For anyone to be this way indicates they indeed do have or think they have something of mine, else they wouldn't try to barter as such. Christ himself said, "An evil and wicked generation demands a sign." In that regard, I could just as well keep my mouth shut. But I do rejoice.

As to your final question in your post, I trust Jesus as God to know the better of His plans, especially when it comes to putting spirit in and out of men. Is not our breath the breath of God? I think so. Christ also said, "If you are prepared to receive it, he was the Elijah who was to come." I, personally, don't think I was prepared to recieve it, but am capable now of understanding that. God once took a man to heaven bodily, the prophet Elijah. As God appeared to Moses in the burning bush because to see God's glory directly would have caused Moses to die, something happened to Elijah to prevent him from suffering a similar fate for many years even though it is recorded that he went to heaven in a whirlwind. Any time beyond 120 years would have been the normal end for Elijah. It was part of God's plan to bring Elijah back in spirit, not in the flesh. The spirit of Elijah was put back into corruptable flesh and God had created a living soul. Christ died to save souls. The Father in heaven via the angel gave the name "John" to that particular living soul. In essence, "John" was not given a seperate breath but that of Elijah. But when Christ raises that soul of "John", "John" is given a new course of both body and spirit, making "John" a living soul again. In essence, I have been given a free ride. But such is the existence of any creature of God. "God blesses and curses whom He pleases." All living souls owe their existences to God, the Giver of Life. It is God who makes their souls alive. It is God's prerogative to name and apportion spirit as He sees proper.

I really don’t feel like having to reread your statement 10 times in order to figure out what you’re attempting to say.  But from a quick scan of it, it doesn’t sound good.

No pain, no gain, buddy.  It won't kill you.

I read both your posts for a second time, you seem to be claiming that you were Elijah, who you seem to claim was also John the Baptist...and that now you're the resurrected John the Baptist.

That may not have killed me, and is certainly wasn’t of any gain to me, but it was very painful…kinda akin to banging my head against a wall.

Good luck to you, sir.

I say we delete this thread, delete his account, and if the police show up, we deny we ever heard of "Edward Palamar"
