(N.Morgan) An astounding discovery was made in which fragments of an early Christian prayer were found. On paper of Papyrus, this prayer dates back 1,500-year-old and was located in the famed  John Rylands Library at Manchester University in Egypt. This discovery is so amazing because it is believed to be “the first ever found to refer to the Last Supper and use magic in the Christian context,” according to Roberta Mazza of the new John Rylands Research Institute. She says that the papyrus shows that early Christians had adopted the ancient Egyptian practice of writing charms on pieces of papyrus to be worn as amulets of protection against dangers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The words from the Christian Bible had been written on the reverse side of a receipt for the payment of grain tax in the village of Tertembuthis, near the city of Hermoupolis, then folded up and placed in a locket or a pendant. “We can say this is an incredibly rare example of Christianity and the Bible becoming meaningful to ordinary people—not just priests and the elite,” she told BBC News. The document has been in the library since 1901.

  • Jesus is being born of the Father before time exists. Jesus is 100% God.
    Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father only. Holy Spirit is 100% God.
    Jesus incarnated. Jesus is 100% God and 100% man. His body felt pain but didn’t have the original sin (eating of the forbidden fruit by Adam and Eve).
    After crucifiction, Jesus preached in hell. Those who believed, got out of hell.
    After resurrection, Jesus has a body that doesn’t feel pain; He is still considered to be 100% God and 100% man.
    Holy Spirit (who proceeds from the Father) descended upon God-bearer when She agreed to conceive the Word (Jesus). Jesus incarnated this way.
    She always remained a virgin: before, during, and after. She didn’t have personal sins (by the grace of God) but the original sin (eating of the forbidden fruit by Adam and Eve) was on Her; so, Jesus is Her Saviour too. She died 15 years after Christ’s ascension; Jesus resurrected Her body in 3 days.
    Demons live inside clones. Jesus died for all sins committed by all.
    Jesus said that you have to drink His blood.
    All people have soul, body, and spirit.
    In animals, blood substitutes soul.
    That’s why you’re forbidden to drink animal blood. Animals don’t have spirit.
    You’re forbidden to drink human blood (like during blood transfusion) because sins transfer.
    You’re told to drink blood of Jesus (because He’s sinless) so that your sins are forgiven.
    Dogs are not allowed in your home and your church because the Holy Spirit will leave.
    Give to charity in the name of Archangel Michael. Feed the pigeons. Forgive me.
