None of us can. Rest assured. The atonement will only ever be in Him. Jesus the Christ. We can thank God for all of our sakes.

I believe I might be able to shed some light on some of your observations regarding the city of Rochester.<br /><br />I am a current Rochester resident and former member of Rochester's foremost Satanic group, Rite of the Flower. Your observation regarding the resemblance of the city's flower logo to the inverted pentagram is very astute; in fact, most of the group's members have this logo tattooed on them to signify their membership<br /><br /> I dare not share the most grisly of the group's activities, since this is a family website. However, I can tell you that most of the members imbibe alcohol and smoke Cannabis regularly. At their gatherings, they often listen to the music of Death, heavy metal, which is replete with Satanic imagery and references to the occult. Most of them are also musicians who play this music, often while under the influence of the previously mentioned substances.<br /><br />I shudder to think that I once belonged to this group, but I was an easily influenced young man and didn't yet know the Light of Christ. Fortunately, I was saved at the age of 26 and left the Rite of the Flower. I can never fully atone for my sins, but I am thankful for people like you who are helping expose this city's relationship with Satan. I pray for the inhabitants of this modern day Sodom.<br /><br />Yours in Christ,<br /><br />Stephen M.Wasylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13597387957311065715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9888300.post-17179362384130944762010-10-16T15:49:39.935-07:002010-10-16T15:49:39.935-07:00Mark, Thanks for the kind words and for an comment...Mark, Thanks for the kind words and for an comment expressing good insight!Bob Schlenkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06889020206773728748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9888300.post-85785953841903306202010-10-16T07:26:41.868-07:002010-10-16T07:26:41.868-07:00Hi Bob,

The Chinese visited and traded on the West coast, the Vikings on the East and it is believed by some that the great civilizations of Mesopotamia and Egypt were mighty sea faring peoples who had explored the entire world. Legends of the 'Paradise' in the West led some to believe and to try to bring about themselves, the New Jerusalem. This concept was brought from the Holy Land by the likes of the Knights Templar and carried on by the secret societies. The great cities of Europe were candidates as was Montreal in the 1600's. I believe the most modern incarnation of these beliefs were manifested in Washington D.C., one, if not THE most powerful magical city/portals in the world. That there was a single unified belief system in place on earth in antiquity is borne out in Scripture and in modern archeology. Some even believe that ancient man's explorations ventured out into space! There is reason to believe that man may once have inhabited the Moon and Mars and explored the outer planets as well. If there is going to be one aspect of the truth of things that will completely blow people away when it is revealed, it will the history of Man.<br />The scope of your work is awesome and inspiring. Thanks Bob!MST.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11638386914669774616noreply@blogger.com
