777

How I obtained 777 was simply by the years which are marked by spiritual journey or other major life-changing events often documented by media sources. I discovered this numeric trend when I converted on a very weak faith to Christianity in the year 2000 (incidentally, when people said Jesus would return but did not). The same year of Y2K, when prophesy of doom and disaster was on everyone's lips. I was a pagan or deist in 1999, and began feeling a deep need to give Christianity the benefit of the doubt. So, with much emotonal turmoil as a hardline deist, I converted to Christianity, but not in a church. No! The churches failed miserably to answer my questions about the Bible. They avoided answering my questions. I was accused by one arrogant Sunday school teacher in particular that for asking questions and the strong compelling need to search for greater knowledge, it must be the work of demonic possession, (or considering too, Baalzebub, as Jesus was accused by the hypocrites of his day). Yes, they accuse Jesus of being an agent of Beelzebub, the prince of demons. Need it be added that for doing so, calling it "demon possession" for seeking the things of God they endangered themselves of the unpardonable sin, calling the power of God's Holy Spirit moving -- the "work of devils". However, to my own benefit the preacher of the same congregation warned me that certain individuals in the midst of the church did not take kindly to underlings like myself daring to ask scholarly questions and increasing knowledge about God and the Bible.

Alas, see John 6:45

John 6:45 It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me.

Hebrews 8:11 No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest.

All any person needs is faith in Jesus to gain DIRECT ACCESS to the audience of God, the King of the Universe. Who are all those preachers still trying to intermediate between man and God? Did not Jesus do away with the corrupt and wicked religious establishment of false priests and false prophets in his own day? The same evil priesthood who murdered the Lord. Do not follow a man. Follow Jesus.

The preacher put me into contact with a book wholesaler that dealt in seminary publications and theologian course material. I amassed a large library of reference works which would be the envy of some pastors.
Due to the ignorance and narrow minded bigoted hatred of some I withdrew from attending church. I proceeded to seek the truth solely through the name of Jesus, and God's own power to guide and teach.
The most informative education source I encountered during my first two years of study was by phone with a Messianic Jewish organization. A kind young rabbi returned my phone call from a distant city, and taught me how to use a Biblical concordance to study both Hebrew and Greek terms, for a deeper understanding of scriptures.


777 The Spiritual Journey



777 in Media

Typo: In 2002, there was no "national" news to cover my activities, but there was regional coverage in several area newspapers and one television station. The news story was of interest out on the west coast to the Biblical organization I volunteered with.

I was lead astray around 2003, quite easily, because first and foremost the church simply will not teach the hard truths of the Bible to its adherents. Period. But Atheists and Agnostics DO have prepared answers to offer skeptics and those of weak faith.

Read Hosea 4:6

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
As they were increased, so they sinned against me: [therefore] will I change their glory into shame. [New Living Translation (©2007)
The more priests there are, the more they sin against me. They have exchanged the glory of God for the shame of idols.] Hosea 4:6-7

Also this verse for good measure,

2 Thessalonians 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Another trend of sevens was captured from my journey to gain knowledge among Socialists. I kept an open mind to any truth they might share and came away understanding only these people (in their blindness) are the greatest haven for hatred of God's laws and hatred of their fellow man and woman-kind.



At the end of all these events, I was left a bruised soul.

"For in much wisdom [is] much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow." Ecclesiastes 1:18

I'm not quite certain if I should count from the day I converted to Christianity and declared myself a Christian (on blind faith) in 2000, and began a rigorous search into science and theology.
2000-2007 (Spiritual Conversion, Loss of Faith, and Re-embracing faith.)
2003-2010 (Following Anti-Christ doctrines).
All the same, I felt I was genuinely pursuing TRUTH, but was lead far away from the church (2000-2007) which no longer teaches truth! Indeed, there are many who have fallen away from teaching the truth, perhaps better known as "The Great Falling Away." What preachers learn in the secrecy of seminary is never, and will not be taught behind the pulpit for fear of offending those who prefer mythical tales over TRUTH.

Perhaps that is the spiritual journey. From 2000-2007. I re-embraced a belief in Jesus, no more certain where I was going in 2007, but I was more than certain with the tens of millions death toll racked up by Atheistic Communists, I was NOT on the side of the Atheist nor leftwing socialist.

More correctly, between 2003-2010 I was directly influenced by leftwing socialist, anti-Christian views when hooked up with a leading Agnostic who is well rehearsed in debating Creation vs. Evolution (since the 1970's) and I maintained fairly regular contact, even managing his website and blog, to the day I returned and set foot in a Christian Church (2010). Either way, these life-changing events are marked by 7 year journeys.

It wasn't overnight. Nothing happened overnight. For instance, between 1991-1998, as I researched rightwing socialists, I found myself even sympathizing with their public denouncement of leftwing, liberal media trash TV/media but all along embroiled in arguments with their tactics and political views (lack of respect for human life). After a few years around rightwing socialists I began to awaken to the realization they were certainly no "solution" to the problems in society, for they themselves are guilty of terrorism, perversion (campaigns to promote polygamy and pedophilia), drunkenness and all manner of wanton crime. Every conceivable philosophy and criminal behavior that sends across the message to uproot civilized and orderly society, the rightwing and leftwing anarchists are on the forefront promoting it.
You know it's bad when some of their own leaders were denouncing the thuggery and wanton violence of the extreme right. It's nearly impossible to tell leftist and rightist radicals apart. The majority are criminals who praise indiscriminate violence. Crime runs rampant among anti-Christian socialist radicals. The entire time I involved myself in research of the extreme right (1991-1998) I was questioning some of their authority figures "Why??" on a variety of issues, including moral ones, such as the Oklahoma City Bombing. Perhaps the leftwing socialists who've seized upon power and working toward a "global society" are corrupt, however, how does that justify the wanton slaughter of innocent children in the OKC Federal Building? Do two wrongs make a right?? The response from one of their European leadership stated to me in correspondence by snail-mail, "It was no loss. There were only minorities in the rubble." In all good conscience, at that point (around 1995) I realized "This (rightwing socialism) does NOT seem to be a viable solution to anything, but rather they are part of the Problem in society."

I have witnessed, first-hand, the casual lack of respect for human life and appalled by it.

1995 brings back memories, when I separated from my own rightwing extremist husband. Between 1995-1996 he lead his own senseless campaign of terror and brutality that finally came to a close in 1996 after his arrest. I had been terrorized for months, and after his arrest I awoke to just how ignorant... evil their wanton violence really was. His trial was concluded in 1997, and in 1998, cutting clean of all loose ends I distanced myself from their rightwing socialist sub-culture insanity. Nothing like this ever happens overnight. Such radicals have a nugget or two of truth, with many lies wrapped around them. Deceit is much more subtle and achieved over a period of months or, even years. Likewise, nobody separates themself from deceptive ideologue and religious dogma, overnight. It takes time to sort out all the broken pieces of one's life to unlearn deception, once deceived. A lot of soul-searching is involved until a person fully awakens to the deceits and distance themself from the deceivers.
