Times Read: 618
We buried my brother today. I am having a few beers for him. His favorite, Coors Light. He did have full military honors, 21 gun salute, Taps, flag folding, etc. There were National Guardsmen that stood by his casket during the ceremony. Many people showed up. Teachers from High School, Government officials, locals who lost a son, fiance, etc in the war, friends, family, so many to mention. There were 4 biker groups, Soldiers Angels, Patriot Guard, Rolling Thunder and Friends of the Forgotten. It was great to see so many. Wish it was under better circumstances.
They said the investigation is still ongoing and may take up to 4 months.

I have bad news. My Brother did not come back from Afghanistan. They are not giving us much information. We do not know how, when, why, etc. All we know is that it is listed as "Apparent Suicide", approximately 12:45 am (EST) August 17, 2008. They haven't even told us what kind of wounds. They should have his body in Maryland as we speak to do an autopsy, embalm his remains, dress him in his uniform and medals, and do makeup if necessary. They are doing an investigation to find out the information we do not know. Funeral will probably be this weekend.
Some Questions I Have

Who do you talk to when the only person you can talk to and who will understand you just died?
What do you do when all you can do is cry?
Where does it say that I have to change who I am just to make my family happy so they may suffer less during the time we wait to find out why my Brother died?
When are the jackasses ever gonna realize that this war is costly more than money on their tax forms?
Why do all the people who have a chance to make it in life die while those of us who have no meaning and cannot do a fucking thing remain?
How do you tell your Christian parents that their son that just died contacted you and said he was in hell?

WHO'S MAKING THIS STUFF
"Lucifer" is the Latin term originally used by the Romans..........."
(http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/texts/LuciferandSatan.html)
"The name Lucifer was applied to Satan by St. Jerome....."
(http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/texts/LuciferandSatan.html)
Even further, I would like to point this out to prove my point of Christians NOT having their own origianl doctrine.
"Later, as Judaism absorbed such ideas as Zoroastrian dualism and concepts about angels during the Exile, and then as Christianity echoed various concepts from earlier religions, the concept of an evil power ruling an underground domain of punishment for the wicked became fixed in Christian doctrine. In such a doctrine, elements of the Graeco-Roman god Pluto/ Vulcan/ Hephaestus, the Underworld, and various aspects of Nordic/Teutonic mythology may be traced."

I want your opinions on this. What do you feel is the truth. Who is Lucifer and Satan? Are they one in the same or two different entities?
TWO DIFFERENT ENTITIES
"While some authors referred to Lucifer as Satan’s name before his expulsion from Heaven, others referred to Lucifer and Satan as two distinct entities. Both as a literary convention and as Christian teachings or belief, historically there would appear to be little consensus. Regardless, it should be clear that an author may use the terms Lucifer or luciferian and not be referring to Satan."
(http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/texts/LuciferandSatan.html)
"The name Lucifer was applied to Satan by St. Jerome....."
(http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/texts/LuciferandSatan.html)
The terms Lucifer and Satan are two completely different entities. Not to mention the fact that the terms did not exist at the beginning or even near the beginning. They were created.
"Lucifer" is the Latin term originally used by the Romans to refer to the planet Venus when that planet was west of the sun and hence rose before the sun in the morning, thereby being the morning star.
(http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/texts/LuciferandSatan.html)
"The word 'Satan', and the Arabic "shaitan", may derive from a Northwest Semitic root śtn, meaning "to be hostile", "to accuse." An alternative explanation is provided by the Hebrew in Job 1:7. When God asks him whence he has come, Satan answers: "From wandering the earth and walking on it". The root ŝut signifies wandering on foot or sailing. 'Satan' would thus be "the Wanderer"."

WHO REIGNS HELL?
Isaiah 14:12
"12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!"
(http://bibleresources.bible.com/passagesearchresults.php?passage1=Isaiah+14&version=9)
"........in Job 1:7. When God asks him whence he has come, Satan answers: "From wandering the earth and walking on it". The root ŝut signifies wandering on foot or sailing. 'Satan' would thus be "the Wanderer"."
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satan)
Lucifer was only cut down to the ground, not in it. Satan walked on the earth, not in it. This proves that the entity that rules "the bottomless pit" or "Hell", as most know it, is named Abaddon.
Rev 9:1-11
"11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon."

MORNING STAR - LUCIFER OR JESUS?
"In Latin, the word "Lucifer", meaning "Light-Bringer" (from lux, lucis, "light", and ferre, "to bear, bring"), is a name for the "Morning Star" (the planet Venus in its dawn appearances)."
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucifer)
"Lucifer" is the Latin term originally used by the Romans to refer to the planet Venus when that planet was west of the sun and hence rose before the sun in the morning, thereby being the morning star.
(http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/texts/LuciferandSatan.html)
Jesus calls himself the "Morning Star".
Revelation 22:16:
"16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star."

Thoughts on a Fri the 13th

I run constantly up and down the long hallway in my mind going in and out of the doors to find the answers to lives questions.
I have nothing better to do as I sit alone in a crowded room next to the one I devote my life to.
I can't find the answers if the doors never end. Sad thing is that I don't even have a manual on how to use my mind or even a directory to tell me what is in each room.
I do what I know best; I don't think the ghetto is where I belong so why do I keep re-creating it every day.
You didn't think he could....03:09 Aug 02 2008
