Day Eleven

DISPLAY OF VITAL SIGNS, ETC.

1) Lean body mass: Still a little less than 113 lbs

2) Body fat: Still about than 6%

3) Pulse: 66

4) Body Temperature: 98.1. Yesterday my temp was 95.0; that is dangerously low. Well, after reading up on hypothermia, I took some action. I turned the heat up in my apartment, put on some extra layers of clothing, put on more bed clothing, and that did the trick. My temperature this morning was hovering in the area of 98.00. I would have had to stop my prayer and fasting is it got below 95.00 because that is in a dangerous area. I bought a new thermometer today, and the readings were the same as my old one. That means my readings are accurate.

5) Blood pressure: 104 over 68----120 over 80 is optimal: 160 over 100, is Grade 1 hypertension (mild), etc.

6) Body fluid’s pH display: 5.5. the same as the last week, but is still extremely unhealthy. The reason for a very low pH is this: the two main ingredients needed to keep the body fluids alkaline are calcium and vitamin D. Calcium comes from calcium rich foods and supplementation, like coral calcium, and the main source of vitamin D comes from exposure to sunshine; a poor source is from synthetic supplements. It is literally impossible to get enough vitamin D from food sources, since the majority of natural foods are almost void of natural vitamin D. Acidic body fluids is one of the main reasons for much of the sickness and disease in the world today. So I can understand why my body fluids are so low; I haven’t had any calcium or vitamin D for eight days. I am certain I will survive until the end of my time of prayer and fasting. My pH has always been from 7.0 to 7.5. ------ 7.0 is neutral; any digits below 7.0 is acidic; any digits above 7.0 is alkaline. Most healthy people, especially the young, will usually have readings in the alkaline range, while most older people will have readings in the acidic range--that spells trouble.

7) Weight: 120 lbs I have been losing just one pound per day. That is great.

8) Mental and emotional conditions: my memory is at times a little foggy. My mental capacity is slipping a little. My thinking has also slowed down. Most likely, the reason is that the brain uses more cholesterol than any other organ in the body, and my cholesterol has always been low, and therefore I am feeling its effect.

9) Spiritual experiences: I have been doing a lot of repetitive praying. That seems to make my faith strong. I am extremely optimistic. Repeating, the reason for lack strong faith in the world nowadays is because of our modern, sophisticated lifestyle. Faith in spiritual matters is not needed, since our present-day culture has made it just about obsolete. This world can give us just about everything we need. Will we have enough faith to overcome this enormous barrier? The only way that will be possible is if that power is given to us by God.

10) Physical condition : I decided again, to just lay around, and therefore conserve energy. I took an hour nap. I get a little tipsy at times, and feel lightheaded occasionally. I am much weaker then ever, but I guess that is expected, since I haven’t eaten for 9 days. I try to drink as much water as possible, but it is difficult. I tried warming the water a bit and sip it as if I was drinking juice or coffee. That seemed to work better.

11) Daily activities: I lost tract of how long I listened to the new Testament. Drove the car to Wal-Mart and bought a thermometer, paid my bill and bought a few nonperishable items. Cleaned house to get rid of stuff I may never need.

How will all the above figures and attitudes continually change my life/our lives in the uncomfortable and extreme conditions of prayer and fasting? Physically, your guess is as good as mine, but spiritually I am extremely optimistic. In the next few weeks, hopefully, we will find out.

If anyone has an answer to this question, please let us all know: what is the reason we don’t see or hear of any genuine, visible, miracles or supernatural healing/cures in this 21st Century? I am not referring to the counterfeit miracles on The Trinity Broadcasting Network, done by Benny Hinn. He is an abominable disgrace to all who are genuine Christians.

My questions to you:

1)what would someone reading about the great benny hinn as reported by one of his believers think about his miraculous healings 2000 years from now?

2)why haven't we seen God come as a tower of cloud or fire in the last 3000 years?

3)Why would Jesus have used mud and spit to cure a blind man?

4) There are many signed affidavits at the beginning of the book of mormon, does that satisfy you?

5) there are mormons who genuially believe that group meditation has allowed them to see and speak with Moses. Is that real?

6)heres a recent example of what you ask for:

Padre Pio, a humble Capuchin priest from San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy, was blessed by God in many wonderful and mysterious ways. The most dramatic was the stigmata. Padre Pio bore the wounds of Christ for fifty years!

Among his other gifts were perfume, bilocation, prophecy, conversion, reading of souls, and miraculous cures. People are still being cured through his intercession in ways that cannot be explained by medicine or science.

He recieved his gifts while meditating on the suffering of christ.

Thanks for your interesting questions. I will answer them all.

To be more descriptive, I meant miracles and healing like we read about that Jesus and the apostles perform continually everyday in different towns and openly before all the people.
My questions to you:

1) What would someone reading about the great Benny Hinn as reported by one of his believers think about his miraculous healings 2000 years from now?

Answer: Anyone who is aware of what the New testament consist of, would quickly spot what Benny Hinn preaches, how he lives and what he does, and how he does it, that he is an imposter.

2)Why haven't we seen God come as a tower of cloud or fire in the last 3000 years?

Answer: That 40 year period in the desert was a time of testing for the Israelites. They completely failed that test, by their disbelief and disobedience. Why would we need that sort of display of guidance once Jesus Christ showed us the way, the truth and the life? It is not necessary.

3)Why would Jesus have used mud and spit to cure a blind man?

Answer: What is despised to most humans (spittle and mud) is at times sacred to God. Every healing is unique in itself. The end product (sight) is the testimony.

4) There are many signed affidavits at the beginning of the book of Mormon, does that satisfy you?

Answer: Have you ever read about the early history of the Mormons? It was founded by a 14 year old juvenile, Joseph Smith. He made up the biggest fairytale that could have ever been concocted. It is impossible to write a book about a myth, and then somehow turn it into the works of God. They are the riches church in America, the exact thing Scripture frowns on. Even those who don’t know God, can spot that they are fakes.

5) There are Mormons who genuinely believe that group meditation has allowed them to see and speak with Moses. Is that real?

Answer: Smith claims he has seen God the Father. Sure! The Bible says no one has ever or can ever see God the Father. Did they tell the Christian community what Moses told them?

6) Here’s a recent example of what you ask for:
Padre Pio, a humble Capuchin priest from San Giovanni Rotunda, Italy, was blessed by God in many wonderful and mysterious ways. The most dramatic was the stigmata. Padre Pio bore the wounds of Christ for fifty years
Among his other gifts were perfume, bilocation, prophecy, conversion, reading of souls, and miraculous cures. People are still being cured through his intercession in ways that cannot be explained by medicine or science.

Answer: Whatever he claims, he is a Catholic. This religion is even worse than the Mormons. Read up on the early Catholic church. It will be difficult for any coherent person, religious or pagan, to believe that a religion could engage in such ungodly practices, and they still do it today. The New Testament warns us about such counterfeit miracles. Counterfeit, in that the one performing them is possessed by Satan, regardless how good the outcome may be. 2nd Thessalonians 2:9. “. . .the works of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, . . .”

You would not have asked any of these questions, if you knew what the New Testament teaches in its completeness.

not if what was written was written by his disciple, then it would sound great.

becasue we are still failing completely as shown by your main question.


Answer: What is despised to most humans (spittle and mud) is at times sacred to God. Every healing is unique in itself. The end product (sight) is the testimony.

It was also commonly used by magicians of the time, likely put in by the author of the story

no i haven't read it all but just enough to believe that they believe it just as much as you yours.



Answer: Smith claims he has seen God the Father. Sure! The Bible says no one has ever or can ever see God the Father. Did they tell the Christian community what Moses told them?

not my point, the point is that today there are people who believe they talk to moses with all there heart. Maybe they are delusional but they can still start their own religions and have followers, most likely to be their children. we are hard wired to hold onto the beliefs of our childhood. It takes great work to overcome a lie told by a parent.

So are you saying that it is impossible for god to work through a catholic?

You would not have asked any of these questions, if you knew what the New Testament teaches in its completeness.

your opinion

Dear m a, I know where you are at. I have been there. I am finding out the the most difficult, if not impossible, thing for humans to do is to change what they believe in siritual matters. All I can say to you is that God will bless you greatly if you read the New Testament over and over again. If you are actually seeking the truth, that Holy Book will open your eyes. That Book has all the information needed for anyone/everyone to have faith, love and obedience.

I pray God will bless you. SC
