I am writing this just to express my opinion on Angelica's testimony. I have no intention to bash anyone.
First and foremost, I do believe that heaven and hell really exist. My view is not based on what I’ve heard from anybody else but this is my personal view based on how i have understood God's providence. I'm not a theologian to fully express my opinion.
My question is.. how sure she is that it was Jesus who went on tour with her in both hell and heaven? Perhaps.. by the scars that were still present on both hands, which we believe was done by Jesus' crucifixion.
According to what i have read, the girl was attending fasting ritual with her religious fellowmen.
But before she became a member of the group that she was talking, she was considering herself a sinner.. Well, all people on earth are considered sinners. No one is holy or free from sins and Christ redeemed us by his death on the cross.
She was being criticized on how she behaved, the way she dressed up or anything.. that couldn’t be manifested in her present religion was considered sinful act. My God! How can you deny individual inner self? It’s like this…. It just because I don’t dress up like how the iglesia ni kristo members do, I’m not acceptable to the kingdom of heaven. Just because I don’t belong to Jehovah’s witnesses I’m a horrendous sinner. She was then converted at the age of 18? Ok.. that means she fully embraced the teaching and beliefs of her present religion. In her mind she was with Satan’s custody before the conversion. This beliefs retained in her subconscious during what happened to her when she passed out within 23 hrs. I believe once you died, there's no turning back.
What I have understood on how she pictured both heaven and hell is that based on how it was taught to her by their religion. Everything that has been taught retained in her subconscious. Human brain is the most tricky vital organ. It remains alive after death for 72hrs even the body has already been embalmed. That’s clinically proven. But if she was not taught that way.. her visionary won’t be like that. I do believe that no religion shall bring anyone to heaven. I have this feeling that Angelica’s visionary is very much protestants. That’s how she was taught.. If she was raised in other religion for example, catholic her visionary shall be very much catholic, if she was taught to be Mormon, her visionary shall be Mormons.. because those teachings were inculcated in her mind.
Hell is the place where people who did not repent belong to. There is fire and everything that would not stop you from weeping. That’s how hell is being described and we all do believe it because that’s how we were taught.
With regards to Michael Jackson and Pope John Paul II, Let me discuss it later. I don’t know this selena. For what I have heard, she was a huge latina singer.. most of her songs were ballad/love songs. Idolatry is being discouraged by protestants and it is stated in the Bible. Pope John paul is catholic icon. Catholics give respect to the images. Images of the people who became saints in accordance with the cannon law. I am catholic. I give respect to the saints but I don’t worship them. Catholic people believe that all saints followed Jesus good deeds that’s why they were canonized to become saint. When we give respect to saints it's only for intercession but not salavation.
As a catholic, I believe that Jesus did not tell us to honor Mary for salvation. That’s why we also do not believe that she has a vital role for salvation. What we believe is Mary and other saints just intercede but not to save. These two words are different. What Angelica is trying to say is don’t idolize them. Well, we don’t idolize them. Catholic people believe that Pope John Paul exhibit the good deeds like what Jesus did. A lot of non-catholics also believe that when he was alive he lives in accordance with what Jesus was trying to tell the people. I’m not very much familiar with the verses in the bible like other religious people do. But I know there's in the bible where Jesus said, When you give food for the hungry you are feeding me. In my opinion, It’s like making relationship with other people. How’s your relationship with your fellowmen then?
How would you make a good relationship with Jesus if you don’t know how to make a good relationship with the others? That’s my question to angelica. We do appreciate people by what they have done. I appreciate Pope John Paul because for what I have observed he practiced what he preached when he was still on earth. But I don’t idolize him. I appreciate and I know that his preaching was in accordance with what Jesus is trying to tell us.
And so, If it’s that's the case, no one shall be saved. Because Jesus has set the standard on how to enter the kingdom of heaven?And this standard seems so ambiguous by what Angelica is trying to portray. If you help people you won’t still go to heaven. So, what shall we do now? Other might as well say that it's fine to just do evil things because when you do good things you shall still go to hell.
I don’t believe that Pope did not repent. Did he do horrendous sins? And when he was still alive not able to repent? In my opinion he died gracefully because his death was not immediate. Is God's standard that so high? Then, no one would enter the Kingdom of heaven. For me, MY GOD IS NOT LIKE THAT. MY GOD IS A LOVING GOD. And we have to bear in mind that nobody’s perfect.. only God.
Re: Michael Jackson. He made a pact with satan in exchange of his fame? So satan told Michael that he’s going to be famous if he would agree to be satanic? Is he? Because Michael Jackson is the 2nd to pope John Paul II of being the most famous person in the world. This is according to the survey and in the Guinness book. Angelica was told that God should be the most famous and no one else then, And i can't argue with that.
Because Michael Jackson became famous and people adored him he is satanic? It was satan who made him famous. And whoever listens and sings his songs shall go to hell as well. Horrible, isn't it?She was told that it should not be like that. God would be the 1st above all. Yes we do put God above all. Michael was devoted himself helping the people by donating how much he earned from the concert. He even made charity songs just to help. He used his talents and influence to help. And those talents were used by satan and he became famous? Oh merciful God!tell Angelica to seek professional help then. Michael Jackson became famous because people know how to appreciate God given talent that MJ possessed.
Michael Jackson's message to people is very clear on his songs.Casualties and other natural calamities are being manifested here on earth because what the people is doing right now. People activities contribute the changes on natural phenomena.
Perhaps, What angelica is also trying to say is the subliminal messages in the tapes when you play them backward. Even my normal conversation be played backward It would give subliminal message. It would create words based on perception. It depends on how one perceives it.
Regarding to the 8 year old kid in hell. Angelica was told by Jesus that the boy was so disobedient and dishonest. He spent himself watching cartoons. Well, angelica was told what kind of tv show she must watch. Perhaps, she ditched from watching other tv shows except the praise channel or whatever her religion has approved her to watch. So, in her subconscious, watching Dora, ben10 and other cartoons is sinful. I don't see anything about Dora. Ben10 is a violent cartoon series.It’s for the parents on how they would raise their children. It’s OK to watch cartoon as long as it doesn’t affect child’s activity. TV shows to watch by children must impart good manner that would inculcate their young minds.That's why, there is that it says" Parental Guidance"
I couldn't say anything about Selena, I only have a little info about her.
Again,This is just purely opinion. I have no intention to bash other religions. I do respect others belief. For me, I don’t mind about what religion I belong to. We all have the freedom to choose. It's fine for all of us,as long as our personal relationship with God is being manifested. while we still able to, Do things that you think can nourish your relationship with God. PEACE to everyone!
