Is that a correct view?” Can you put this in perspective for us concerning the truth of the divine?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Religions393 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “The Pleiadians, channeled by Barbara Marciniak, said the cross applied to someone before death on his chest as a form of having given the last rites in fact closes the chakras and assures that the soul goes to an Anunnaki recycling portal and is trapped again and again for many lifetimes against its unique will and essence. If this is true how we can avoid this at the time of death?” What can we tell her?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Religions652 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “The Pleiadians, channeled by Barbara Marciniak, said what is even more scary is that they may come on Earth again trying to control the masses through a personification of Jesus as his second coming and people will follow them blindly not questioning the increase of more and more control.

From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Christopher “Legends about the life and death of Saint Christopher first appeared in Greece in the 6th century and had spread to France by the 9th century. The 11th-century bishop and poet Walter of Speyer gave one version, but the most popular variations originated from the 13th-century Golden Legend. According to the legendary account of his life, Christopher was initially called Reprobus. He was a Canaanite, 5 cubits (7.5 feet (2.3 m)) tall and with a fearsome face. While serving the king of Canaan, he took it into his head to go and serve “the greatest king there was.” He went to the king who was reputed to be the greatest, but one day he saw the king cross himself at the mention of the devil. On thus learning that the king feared the devil, he departed to look for the devil. He came across a band of marauders, one of whom declared himself to be the devil, so Christopher decided to serve him. But when he saw his new master avoid a wayside cross and found out that the devil feared Christ, he left him and enquired from people where to find Christ. He met a hermit who instructed him in the Christian faith. Christopher asked him how he could serve Christ. When the hermit suggested fasting and prayer, Christopher replied that he was unable to perform that service. The hermit then suggested that because of his size and strength Christopher could serve Christ by assisting people to cross a dangerous river, where they were perishing in the attempt. The hermit promised that this service would be pleasing to Christ. After Christopher had performed this service for some time, a little child asked him to take him across the river. During the crossing, the river became swollen and the child seemed as heavy as lead, so much that Christopher could scarcely carry him and found himself in great difficulty. When he finally reached the other side, he said to the child: “You have put me in the greatest danger. I do not think the whole world could have been as heavy on my shoulders as you were.” The child replied: “You had on your shoulders not only the whole world but Him who made it. I am Christ your king, whom you are serving by this work.” The child then vanished. Christopher later visited Lycia and there comforted the Christians who were being martyred. Brought before the local king, he refused to sacrifice to the pagan gods. The king tried to win him by riches and by sending two beautiful women to tempt him. Christopher converted the women to Christianity, as he had already converted thousands in the city. The king ordered him to be killed. Various attempts failed, but finally Christopher was beheaded. Therefore, he is the patron saint of travelers, and small images of him are often worn around the neck, on a bracelet, carried in a pocket, or placed in vehicles by Christians.” Is the story of St. Christopher, as recounted in Wikipedia, accurate?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Religions358 views0 answers0 votesDoes a St. Christopher medal tucked in a glove box actually impart divine protection to the vehicle? Will its efficacy vary depending on the priest who blessed it?

They also flee from the Cross, but return; so holy water must have great virtue.
