Thousands of people from around the world diagnosed as terminal or incurable by modern medicine travel thousands of miles each month, enduring long international flights and exhausting bus rides to Abadiania. A small town in the mountains of central Brazil. They come to see miracle healer, Joao Teixeira de Faria, the man the people of Brazil have affectionately titled, “Joao de Deus” or “John of God”.

Joao is a simple man of humble beginnings who devotes three days of every week to healing his fellow man without payment for his services.

As a young boy, Joao experienced black out spells. On awakening he learned he had performed miraculous healings. Religious leaders, the medical field, the police and those in power threatened by Joaos abilities had him beaten, thrown in jail then cast out of town. This was a pattern that went on for years. Even with that, Joao still treated those who persecuted him when their own incurable illness arose. Joao frequently states, “it is not me who cures, God is the healer, I am simply the vessel”. Joao is known as an unconscious medium; he never recalls any of the healings he’s performed.

Not everything can be explained scientifically or rationally as there are over 35 Healing Spirit Guides including King Solomon and Saint Ignatius that use Joao as their instrument, completely taking over his body and mind. Guided by these Spirits, Joao was told to buy a specific piece of land in Abadiania and build a healing sanctuary on it. Joao named it the Casa de Dom Inacio, after his Patron and Master Guide, Saint Ignatius.

Since he began 44 years ago, Joao has treated and healed millions of people. While incorporated by the Healing Spirits, Joao will see all who come to him without stopping to rest. The poor and the famous alike stand in line, up to thousands a day. They come to witness miracles and hope to receive one of their own. For example actress Shirley Maclaine who was told by Western Medicine she would never dance again. That was until Joao removed a tumor from her stomach.

Joao is acclaimed to be the most powerful spiritual medium of our time and the greatest healer since our beloved Jesus the Christ. From curing cancer, AIDS, tumors, heart conditions, addictions, helping the lame to walk and the blind to see, Joao treats every form of illness imaginable. Many people report powerful outcomes that can be measured; X-rays before and after for example. The proof is a room at the Casa filled with thousands of discarded crutches, leg braces and wheelchairs.

The two kinds of surgeries performed through Joao are visible and invisible. Visible surgeries are done with forceps, a scapel or knife. Patients experience minimal pain, bleeding or anxiety during surgery. There are no tranquilizers, pain medication or antibiotics used before, during or after surgery, and no case of infection has ever occurred throughout Joao’s many years of work. Invisible surgery is performed while meditating in what is known as the Current room at the Casa. Healing Spirits energetically bring about miraculous corrections on mental, emotional, physical and spiritual levels. Healing can be immediate, others recover over time, and some may require additional visits.

Thousands of written testimonies and personal letters of gratitude fill the Casa office along with stacks of newspaper articles. Reports from clergymen, scientists and doctors worldwide support claims of Joao’s work.  

“I’ve seen some things happen here at the Casa which are not only unexplainable in terms Western Medicine might use, but unbelievable!” -Stephen York, M.D.

Joao de Deus and his Casa de Dom Inacio Healing Sanctuary give us the opportunity to witness and experience God’s love and deepen our connection with him. A place where our hope turns into faith, and faith into certainty. For the thousands who travel to Joao each month from around the world, it is a spiritual awakening, a spiritual transformation, and the beginning of the end to their illness, on many levels. ©2006

t a m i l asked:


sufficient payment for us to have ever lasting life?
That it is a gift and not by works should anyone boast.

The wages of sin is death but God gift is eternal life through faith in Christ.

Yeah, you have to accept Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, though. Jesus said that those who deny Him, He will deny before the Father and the Angels.

Dalip Singh Wasan asked:


One God but divided world ?

Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate,

Formerly Employment Officer P.E.S.II,

E,Mail, dalipsinghwassan @ Yahoo Co. In.

In all the religious books established in this World, we have been told that God is one and one only and it has never been divided into parts. God was one when He was all alone and when He established this world and He remained one throughout the ages and even to day He is one and has not been divided. But when we base ourselves on the basis of religions, we have established so many religions in this world and when go further deep into the these religions, we find that every religion has got its own God and the people in each religion have got their own God and they worship that God only and if they go to the God of another religion, formaly or otherwise, they just perform rites as the people of that religion are performing, but in his heart of heart that fellow has got no faith in God of another religion. It has beome very clear that the people on this world say that there is one God, but since they have already divided this God into so many parts, now they are not in a position to collect all parts of God and unite the same into one God.

In history a time came when Akbar the Great tried to establish ‘ Din i Illahi’, but he failed and could not establish his desired common religion. Later on Shri Guru Arjan dev ji tried and he had been successful in editing a common Granth known in the name and style of Shri Guru Granth Sahib ji. But the Sikh Community has declared that this Granth belongs to them and they are not allowing establishing this Shri Guru Granth sahib ji in Hindu Temples and religious places of other religions. It means the Sikhs are not allowing that other religions should adopt this common Granth. So efforts to establish one religion have failed and now the people are fundamentally divided on the basis of religion and no power on earth shall be able to establish one religion on this earth and the people shall remain divided and there are chances that more and more further divisions shall be there on the basis of some religions or sub religions. Some sub religions have already taken their birth and at times, it seems that these sub religions are growing more and more strong and the people who are establishing these sub religions are becoming more and more rich and powerful and they are appointing guards to protect their properties.

We have noted that all the people in different religions are trying to establish their separate and different idendity and if we have a look we can identify that the man standing before us is Hindu, Muslim, Sikh,Christian or a man belonging to some sub religion because he has a hair cut of his own style, has got a different language, different way of saluting you, different way of behaving and having different cloth-cuts. They have constructed their places of worship in different way and they are trying to establish more and more identity-marks. When such developments are going on, we must believe that we would never be able to establish a common religion and people shall continue to establish that their own religion is the best in the world and they shall be collecting all good things, all good philosophies with their religions and they shall say to the world that their religion is the world and they shall be calling people from other religions to join them and if need be they shall convert others to their own religion and if we probe into the facts of history, we come to the conclusion that there had been times when people in power had been converting others to their own fold and some people had been killed because they did not agree to convert.

The divisions on the basis of religions would never allow us to become one world and this world shall remain a divided places and till these divisions are there, men shall be fighting amongst each other and shall be killing each other. nIf God wants that He should remain one, then He shall have to come down on this earth and shall have to unite this world and shall have to give them one religion. It seems, even God would not be able to unite this man on this earth because such divisions could have been stopped at the early stages. Now man has established these divisions and these divisions have been confirmed and permanently established. So concept of one God is no more alive on this earth.

LottaLou asked:


to redeem them from their sins? Mohammad isn’t ones Savior. Jesus Is.

What good is accomplished by blowing ones self up in a crowded restaurant? Only hell for the murderer.

While Jesus redemption remains available to those who cry out to Him, only because of the love of God?

Jesus stands with outstretched arms, dressed in white? (I just saw this vision of Jesus.). He is truly there, waiting for someone in the valley of decision to call on Him.
trickddout, I am an honest person I did see this vision. I believe it is because someone needs some confirmation.
Junto, I have never seen any Christian murder others. When one has His Spirit, the Holy Spirit convicts ones new spiritman. So? I have seen Christians martyred because they love their Savior. And Jesus rewards them they rule reign with Jesus. So? Jesus is an example of mans sin of torturing to death innocent. By being lifted up for all to see. So? He raised from the dead. So, us who are victims of evil men, raise from the dead also. You can sit there type that Christians murder others all throughout history, but that is the lie of the devil so the devil can murder secretly.
muhammadishfaq, Returned, dipped in the love of God.
missK, please read 1-3Jn to find out who a real Christian is. Real Christians have the love of God in them. And God tells us to Love God, love others even to love our enemies.

But I do agree with righteous war, to protect others from the murderers or corrupt murderous nations. This is national war and not Christian war. Christians will fight in a righteous war though, if God directs them that way.
arihaz, It is written that because Jesus, in his humanity suffered the cross raised from the dead, that God highly exalted Him with the Name above all names. That at the Name of Yeshua, every knee shall bow tongue confess Yeshua Messiah is Yahweh.

So, in Jesus Deity, He is the Word of Yahweh Elohim (Yahweh Elohim is God the Father, Word Holy Spirit). In Jesus Humanity He is also exalted to Yahweh, the Name above all names. So? Jesus is Yahweh no matter how you look at Jesus (in His Deity or His Resurrected Humanity).
arehaz, Everyone dies physically. But we also have a soul and those born again have a soul/spirit. Souls go somewhere. God puts them somewhere. So, yes every one physically dies, but for those who believe in Jesus will raise up whole like He did in resurrection day complete; whole like everlasting body, soul spirit.
Khalid E, The Koran Jesus is a different Jesus than the Holy Bible Gospel Jesus.
Miss K, The wrong kind of Christians; to a self righteous, self called, Christian religious leader with governmental power also; are really the real Christians. They are just falsely accused of being the wrong kind of Christians. True Christians are those born of God, born of His Spirit, cleansed by His blood. They don’t go around killing unbelievers or their enemies. They go out preaching the Gospel. To the Antichrist, this is a threat to their statis or position of power. Because Jesus Christ is Lord.
catalyst, are you trying to say that Muslims can’t be saved. Only if they save themselves? Well, to get to heaven you have to be good as God. So, it is impossible to save themselves because everyone, including Muslims, have sinned somewhere somehow. I am not good enouph for heaven. But I get to go to heaven, because Jesus shed His blood for remission of my sins He raised from the dead. So, I am going to also raise from the dead on resurrection day.

But, Jesus wants all Muslims to hear His call. He is calling out for you. For God so loved the world, that He sent His Only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him will not perish but will have everlasting life.
prophetjohn, The Holy Spirit doesn’t visit people in the form of Mother Mary. So, that spirit was an idol spirit, not the Holy Ghost. And to say this idol spirit in the form of Mother Mary is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. I am worried about you. I know God forgives those who repent. You need to repent now not later.
oh katie, Please don’t say I think this that. You are wrong.

Roy E. Klienwachter asked:


Fear of the new or the unknown, is the crippling force that is holding humanity back from moving to its next period of evolution. It is self evident that 84% of the world’s population is not ready for the move.

Only 16% of the world has an alternative view from religion - they are the free thinkers who have chosen to think outside the box. It is this 16% who do not live in fear within religion that will move humanity out of the box it now finds itself in. Religion does not tolerate outside views, and it is religion that has kept humanity chained to the fear of leaving it - “Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.” Humanity has a need to believe in something, and religion capitalized on the fear of the unknown to keep its supporting members.

The world has made huge advances in technology, but has remained stale mated when it comes to knowing itself, its purpose, were it came from, and where it’s going. It also seems inconceivable that mankind has been her now for 100′ s of thousands or even millions of years and in on the last 100 years has discovered the electric light bulb, automobiles and cel phones. Humanity has clearly demonstrated that it does not advance very fast. Where did all these recent discoveries come from? Has the technology been given to us, and are we being guided?

Religion has held us back, because it worked for the Churches. Evolution would automatically turn people away from the churches, because the church does not grow by its very nature. Religion disempowered its people so that they would remain loyal and committed. There is little else in the human experience that people will defend more fiercely even when its evil is exposed. The need to believe is much greater than what one can reason. Wise and powerful people use religion to get what they want and it would not serve them to promote change in doctrine.

Once a person has been disempowered the only thing they have left to hang on to is fear. Fear is the cement that binds and holds one in place, there is no possible escape. For a measure of personal security for its followers, and a promise of eternal damnation; the world’s religions have held back the world’s population in a place in time that is going nowhere. One cannot think outside the box, while they are inside the box. One can deny that they are in the box as their thoughts and actions always give them away - they always return to the box and support their old beliefs. Words can be manipulated and often do not reflect one’s actions. You may be able to speak in a different language, but until you are able to think in that language, you cannot experience it fully.

Many people do not like what I write about, because it causes them to re-evaluate their beliefs, and they don’t like to be challenged. But I do not challenge any belief - all beliefs are valid and appropriate they simply demonstrate what a person is thinking in the moment. What I do is bring to the table an opportunity for change, for something better, and I support empowerment and personal responsibility for one’s own power. No one should ever be condemned for what they believe. If what you believe is bringing you everything that you desire, you would be foolish to change. However, humans are explorers by nature, and if your belief system is holding you back, then you are being held captive by your own thoughts.

Any life affirming religion would empower its members to transcend what it teaches, to become greater than the master, to exceed the limitations of its doctrine. The student must always become the teacher and the teacher the student if it has any value for the future. But this is not possible in religion by its very nature as an end unto itself.

The anthropomorphic old guy with a beard and gray hair who lives in a place called Heaven exists only in your mind and it is what you were taught and because you are afraid to believe otherwise, you have accepted it, by freedom of choice. The world at large believes and created that truth and is made captive by it. God does not live in your body or anywhere else. You are the creator, you are the power to whom you pray to, and you are the centre of the universe. Your world is created by you, for you and because of you. You are the embodiment of all you consider God to be - you are God, and all things are.

Now take that concept and think about it, use it to re-evaluate and reaffirm your present beliefs or use it as a stepping stone to move to the next step. Accept it or reject it because it works or does not work for you, not because you are afraid of it. If unconditional love and unconditional freedom are concepts that you want to experience in your life, then does this new idea work for you - does it pave the way for you to work outside the box? Does it elevate you to a new place of awareness and enlightenment or does it bring you back to where you already are?

A gun in your hand pointed at your head cannot hurt you until you pull the trigger. It is not the gun that kills; it is your thought at the moment you take action on the thought. An idea is just an ideal until it is acted upon. You have nothing to fear from exploring an idea. Some ideas will work for you while others won’t. The thought of holding a gun to your head, is an opportunity for you to evaluate your life and make changes one way or the other. The fact that you got into this position tells you that your current thoughts aren’t working for you. It is an opportunity for you to try something radically different.

Man does not fear being powerless, he experiences it. What man fears the most is the knowledge of his own personal power, of whom he is and what he is capable of. Man uses religion to disempower himself so that he does not have to take responsibility for what he creates and he doesn’t even do it consciously. He creates religions and circumstances that do it for him subconsciously. It is what we have been taught since birth - can we believe anything else?

Try this whenever you are questioned by others or even yourself. When the question comes up about you believing in God or a higher power, answer this way - I believe in me and my power to create all that I desire and experience. I am the creator of all that I experience in this lifetime - there is no one else. I am that higher power and the embodiment of all that I know God to be. Feel the empowerment in those words or the fear that comes from saying the words. You will know immediately what motivates you.

It is not my intention, and never will be, to change the world. I believe it is perfect just the way it is. It is a giant buffet of opportunities that you may choose from. It is your perception of the world that you have control over.

It is the 600 free channels on your TV plus the pay-per-view that you are now experiencing. It is about a life experienced by freedom of choice and not fear. Even in your darkest hour, you will always have a choice because you create your experience through a thought made manifest, and a life lived in fear or freedom.

Andrew asked:


Some philosophers, like Freud, Nietzsche and Marx, criticize religion as it is. They supposed that rules set by the religion hinder their real desires, do not give the chance for self-realization and self-determination. For example, Marx’s idea of religion is that man makes religion and the religion does not make him. The man is the world, state and society. This very world and this very state create religion. This religion is nothing more than the reversed world consciousness, because people live in the reversed world. Religion is the theory of this inverted world. Religion gives the world its sense, fulfills with the holy direction and enthusiasm, its moral approve, its solemn balance, its general source for support and justification. The fight against religion may be regarded as the indirect struggle against the world. Religion is some kind of the spiritual aroma of the world. According to Marx’s point of view, religious suffering is the direct reflection of the real suffering and the protest against them. Marx says that the thought is material and the beliefs are the reflections of the real desires. Marx states that the abolition of the religion as the imaginary happiness is the require of the real happiness.

He said that it is impossible for the arm of criticism to substitute the criticism of arms. Material power can be overthrown only by the material power and the theory starts to be the material power only when it conquered the masses. It means that the more people posses this power, the more people it influence on.

As a result, Marx comes to the conclusion that the man is the Supreme Being for man. This thought wants to overthrough all the circumstances when man can be abased, incarcerated and neglected and contemptible being. In general, all those conditions when man can be treated like a dog.

Dalip Singh Wasan asked:


Understanding religion

Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.

We have seen that people of this world are belonging to one religion or the other and there could be very few people who do not belong to a religion. They enter into a religion when they are born because we take up the religion which is the religion of our parents or one of such parents. We are brought with those beliefs and hence these beliefs become part and parcel of our life. And we all know that very few of us change or convert to another religion. We have to live and continue in that religion and we die in that religion and ultimately our body is consigned to the end as per customs of that religion. and as per our beliefs we shall be getting Hell or Heaven as per our own deeds.

We have noted that all the religions are telling us the same principles and in spite of this fact, we could not unite in one religion. We have given names to religions and we are trying to establish that each religion is separate unit and does not match the other. We the people of this world are trying to establish that one religion is better than the other and that is the reason we had started converting people from one religion to the other only to increase the number and here we have a belief that who is converting more people to his religion is doing something in service of his own religion.

If we go deep, we shall find that all the religions on this earth are telling us the same principles and there is no difference. The names and way of living in each religion may be different and that might have been due to the reason that each religion had taken its birth at a different place and at a different time. But on the whole all are have the same beliefs.

The Hindus could be the oldest who had invented God and then they started giving powers to God and then they started praying before him. If we count and compare we shall find that God was established by Hindus, court of Dharam Raj was established by Hindus, Hindus are the first who invented institutions of Hell and Heaven, they had invented methods of devotion and worship, they started writing on the praise of God and they started the methods of prayers and worship. They are the first who started praying before God and then demanding blessing from God. The concept of charity also took its birth here in Hindustan.

And now these concepts which had been established by Hindus are available all over the world and all the people of the world are adding new concepts in their own religions only to show that they are different people and do not tally with the people of other religions and if we go deep, we shall find that there is a war going on in between the religions and if there is next world war, which has already taken its birth, shall not be between two countries, but it shall be between two religions and one religion shall try to finish the people of the other religion so that there could be peace in this world.

We shall have to accept that concepts of religions were good, but it is also on record that all the stages these people had been creating troubles for common people. Religions never allowed this man to live in peace. It is very strange that on one side we are admitting that all the religions are giving us the same guidelines, but on the other hand we all are fighting on the cause of religion and if we go deep in history, we shall find that at all the times all tyrannies had been committed in name of religion. People may be calling themselves brave, heroes of the like and on the other hand they may be counting their people as martyrs, all were not on the right path and all were based on religions. Religions never allowed one set of people to kill another set of people and if some people indulge in such killings, we should not count them as religious people and nor we should honour them as heroes because killing others is a grave sin and the man who is committing such sins shall be sent to Hell and no religion on earth shall save him from Hell. Therefore, the religions must tell their people that none should kill another though the cause may be sacred. We should honour the will of God who had sent each of us on this earth and Himself shall be calling us back and only then we should die. We are nobody to make short the period of our tenure which has been provided to us by God and if we do it we are committing crime, sin or the misconduct and we shall be punished.

If we want to be religious person, then we shall have to believe that God is one, we are His children, we all are members of one family, we are relatives of each other, we are to take care of others, we should not commit any crime, sin or misconduct against others around us, we should serve others, we should serve the child, the ill, the diseased person, the handicapped person, the old person and the man who is otherwise helpless. We should not discriminate on the basis of religions, castes, colour and creed, we should help women because they are the mothers of this mankind and we should give her a honourable place in the house. We should not indulge in scams, scandals, muddles, bribes, corruption, sale of jobs, sale of party tickets, taking in commissions and at all times we should see that we are taking our own share and we are not snatching away share of others. If we adopt these minimums only then we claim hat we are religious persons

The present look of persons is totally misleading. They are showing and presenting themselves as religious persons, though in their heart of heart they are not religious person. All who are trying to make other to understand the religious concepts, themselves are on the wrong path. they are collecting money from others and are living on those charity when they could have adopted some profession, trade, calling and employment for themselves. Preaching religion could be an additional way, but we should not earn our living from these discourses. The people who are living on charity cannot be near to God nor they shall be able to bring us near to God. They are below normal people and therefore, such people should not given respect and honour in society.

We should become a normal person who is earning his own living, earning for the administration of his family, is looking after his children, giving them proper education, is giving to his children proper training and proper adjustment in life, who is believing that God is present everywhere and is having an eye on us, we shall be punished if we are doing something wrong and we shall be awarded if we are doing something right, we should not snatch away share of others, we should not give in charity, but if need be we should help the needy and we should try to teach him how to catch a fish instead of begging a fish from others. We must try be faithful, sincere, honest towards others and we should avoid drinking, taking drugs, eating opium and we must earn through honest means. These are some minimums on the basis of which we can call ourselves as religious person. So from today, we shall try to adopt the right course in in life and people may consider us religious persons or they may not take us as religious person.

cause/why christ’s death and ressurection,what are its contribution and how is it applicable

Walter (Onion of Santa) asked:


I have asked a simple question. The question was not regarding sin or regarding scripture. The only answers I recieve from Christians are based on scripture.

I know the Bible very well. There is no need to always quote scripture, sin or condemnation when one asks everyday issue.

And it seems by quoting your scriptures you make even less sense!
