no bother; that was actually a comment on the *other* back-and-forth that's been going on here, what with Denadii wanting to see people's resumes before he lowers himself to have a discussion with them, and defaming the intellectual stature of anyone who ((my what boors they must be)) doesn't share his obsession.
Why are you being such a jerk Posthuman? There are those here that are demanding my sources then judging them. Why do you feel its so unfair that I ask for their credentials. What a double standard you liberal minds keep!!! Maybe you snowflakes should grow up! You people called the tune. Now dance to it.
I'm not upset posthuman. I do believe that Jacobs dream was the site of the future Temple.
There's something about an ancient name that I read when I was studying this. Am still trying to find it.
So I would call a tie. No need to argue about this. In my view anyway. Are you a whippersnapper ?
And am tired. I didn't do that bold by the way. My computer sometimes has a mind of it's own.

i think yes, i definitely am a whippersnapper ((sorry!)) with very little tact, who likes to walk across grass much better than on sidewalks.
a future temple at Bethel?
((we are clear that Bethel isn't Mt. Moriah, and that Bethel is the major "high place" where idolatry was practiced, for reference just one of many examples, 2 Kings 23:15, right?))
instead of at the temple mount in Jerusalem?
that's an interesting thought. politically for the Jews today it would avoid a whole lot of really tough issues, and it would be a profound comment on the legitimacy of a third temple, wouldn't it?? to put a third temple where Israel's altar to Molech was once built! a place renowned in scripture for spiritual ((and literal)) prostitution!
wow, what a thought. ironic! and just the kind of thing an antichrist might do, declaring himself greater than the One who designated Mt. Moriah, and greater than the One who declared 'neither on this mountain or some other'
interesting. it does seem hard to see how someone could declare themselves to be God within the construct of a renewed Levitical priesthood. no high priest would ever blaspheme like that, but then if there was someone who declared they had authority to build a temple in a place clearly not the place God had designated, well that could be a different story.
Okay, I found what I was looking for at the sacred sites website.
Am giving a bit more than just why Beth-El and Jerusalem or the temple site is one in the same just because the whole article is good.
Jerusalem, by virtue of the number and diversity of people who have held it sacred, may be considered the most holy city in the world. To the Jewish people it is Ir Ha-Kodesh (the Holy City), the Biblical Zion, the City of David, the site of Solomon's Temple, and the eternal capital of the Israelite nation. To Christians it is where the young Jesus impressed the sages at the Jewish Temple, where he spent the last days of his ministry, and where the Last Supper, the Crucifixion and the Resurrection took place. Also greatly venerated by the Muslims, it is where the prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven.
While highly charged with intense religious devotion and visited by countless pilgrims and sages, Jerusalem has also been ravaged by thirty centuries of warfare and strife. It is a place of beauty and divinity, mystery and paradox; a sacred site which no modern spiritual seeker should fail to experience.The earliest traces of human settlement in the Jerusalem area are from the late Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age (3000 BC). Excavations have shown that a town existed on the south side of Mount Moriah, also called Temple Mount. The name of this town was Urusalim, a word probably of Semitic origin that apparently means 'Foundation of Shalem' or 'Foundation of God'. On the frontier of Benjamin and Judah, the town was inhabited by a mixed population known as Jebusites.
About 1000 BC, Urusalim was captured by David, founder of the joint kingdom of Israel and Judah, and became the Jewish kingdom's capital. In the earlier wandering years of the Israelites, their most sacred object, the Ark of the Covenant, was periodically moved about among several sanctuaries, but following David's capture of Urusalim, the Ark was moved to that city around 955 BC. The Ark was a portable shrine containing the two stone Tablets of the Law that the prophet Moses had received upon Mt. Sinai. David renamed his city Jerusalem, meaning 'City of Peace' in Hebrew, and chose Mt. Moriah as the site of his future temple.Mt. Moriah was already considered highly sacred for several reasons. An ancient Semitic tradition stated that the bare rock atop the mount was held in the mouth of the serpent Tahum, and that this place was the intersection of the underworld and the upper world. It was also considered to be the site where Abraham had built an altar on which he prepared to sacrifice his son Isaac.
At this same site, the patriarch Jacob gathered stone from the altar upon which his father Isaac was to be sacrificed, and using this stone as a pillow spent the night sleeping upon the rock. Upon waking from a stunning visionary dream, Jacob anointed the stone pillow with oil he had received from heaven and the stone then sank deep into the earth, to become the foundation stone of the great temple that would later be built by Solomon. This hallowed site is known as Bethel, meaning "Gate or House of Heaven."The First Temple of the Jews was built during the reign of David's son, Solomon. King David had planned to build the Temple at the exact place where he had experienced a revelatory vision of angels ascending a golden ladder into the sky. This site, the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite was originally sacred to the harvest deity known as Tammuz (another name for the deity Adonis). God, through Nathan the prophet, rejected David's wish, evidently on the grounds that he had shed blood, and instead informed him that the Temple would be erected by his son Solomon (II Sam.7:12-13). The Temple 's construction took seven years and was completed in 957 BC. Soon after the Temple 's construction, Nebuchadrezzar II of Babylon forced the Jews into exile, removed their temple treasures in 604 BC and 597 BC, and finally completely destroyed the temple in 586 BC. In 539 BC, Cyrus of Persia conquered Babylon and allowed the Jews to return to Jerusalem. Reconstruction began and the Second Temple was completed by 515 BC.
This temple however, did not enshrine the Ark of the Covenant as that sacred object had disappeared sometime before the plundering by Nebuchadrezzar.The date of the Arc's disappearance and its subsequent whereabouts - long a mystery to archaeologists, historians and biblical scholars - have recently been discussed by the British researcher Graham Hancock. In his richly detailed book, The Sign and the Seal, Hancock presents evidence that the Arc was removed by Jewish priests from Solomon's temple during the rule of the apostate King Manasseh (687-642 BC). The Arc was then hidden for two hundred years in a Jewish temple on the Egyptian sacred island of Elephantine in the Nile. Next it was taken to Ethiopia, to the island of Tana Kirkos in Lake Tana, where it remained for over 800 years until being brought to the city of Axum, capital of the Axumite kingdom. When that kingdom was converted to Christianity after 331 AD, the Arc of the Covenant was placed in a church of St. Mary of Zion where it remains to this day.Writing in his book Lost Secrets of the Sacred Ark, author Laurence Gardner disagrees with Hancock's assertions, and states that the Axumite Ark "Called a manbara tabot, is actually a casket which contains a venerated altar slab known as a tabot. The reality is that, although the Axum chest might be of some particular cultural significance in the region, there are manbara tabotat (plural of tabot) in churches across the breadth of Ethiopia. The tabotat which they contain are rectangular altar slabs, made of wood or stone.
Clearly, the prized manbara tabot of Axum is of considerable sacred interest and, by linguistic definition, it is indeed an ark - but it is not the biblical Ark of the Covenant, nor anything remotely like it."Other sources researched by Laurence Gardner indicate that the Arc of the Covenant had been hidden beneath Solomon's Temple at the time of King Josiah (597 BC) so as not to be seized by Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians. In his Mishneh Torah of 1180, the Spanish philosopher Moses Maimondes told that Solomon had constructed a special hiding place for the Arc in tunnels deep beneath the temple. The prophet Jeremiah, son of Hilkiah who became the High Priest of Jerusalem, was the captain of Hilkiah's Temple Guard. Prior to Nebuchadnezzar's invasion, Hilkiah instructed Jeremiah to have his men secrete the Arc of the Covenant, along with other sacred treasures, in the vaults beneath the Temple. More than 1700 years later a group of nine Frenchmen known as the original Knights Templars spent the years from 1118 to 1127 excavating beneath the El-Aqsa mosque on the site of the old Temple of Jerusalem. They retrieved, in addition to a vast wealth of gold bullion and hidden treasures, the true Arc of the Covenant. While the existence and exact location of this Arc are not currently known, the Templars soon became one of the most powerful religious and political institutions in medieval Europe.
Gen 28:20 Then he made this solemn vow: "If God remains with me, watches over me throughout this journey that I'm taking, gives me food to eat and clothes to wear,
Gen 28:21 and returns me safely to my father's house, then the LORD will be my God,
Gen 28:22 this stone that I've erected in the form of a pillar will be God's house, I'll give you a tenth of everything that you give to me."

I asked for your sources and you came back with a self-inflated response recommending a book written by a cult leader with no credibility...
Then I gave you examples of sources I find acceptable. One book from one cult group hardly qualifies as evidence for portals.
But rather than spending the money I didn't want to spend on the book, I gave you the benefit of the doubt and watched nearly an entire hour and a half sermon that made no sense whatsoever. I'm surprised I got past the part where Smith Wigglesworth was being praised. I browsed the website a bit to see what else they are about and noticed some really bizarre teachings, one of those being man existing before Adam was created.
What I could deduce pretty easily from the sermon, website, and promotion of the book, is that this is a cult trying to monopolize on the conspiracy hysteria that is plaguing the world right now. Not to say bits and pieces aren't true as far as some conspiracies (I have my own theories about some), but these people are preying on the weak-minded spiritually immature. The preaching was classic anti-gospel and a few out of context verses quoted when they were convenient to the nonsense being spewed throughout the whole thing. (This is not a judgment on you, but the cult)
I already made it clear that I'm not trying t be harsh with you. No one is going to give you credentials. No one asked you for credentials. I asked for a credible source. If the only way to learn about these mythical portals is through spending money to fund a cult, then it's not gonna happen.
I continued to ask for more readily available sources and you dodged my question. You said that book was just a start. If that was just a start, then give me something else. Surely you have more than that book as a source to back up your claims? I could probably provide some legit sources that talk about things like that, but guess what? They are all occultic in nature. The concepts you are presenting and that church is preaching are completely DETACHED from orthodox Christianity.
You are following myths. I dunno if the conspiracy bug has scared you and you feel this church is your salvation, or what, but they are bringing in Quantum Physics into their belief system (which has veered into eastern mysticism and new age, completely forsaking anything that resembles science), coming up with extremely weird terminology, the leadership are elevated as some kind of special prophets, and the whole thing is dangerous.

This passage feels appropriate for this thread. I think we can learn something from this regardless of who it was written for.
Isaiah 8
Fear God, Wait for the Lord
11 For the Lord spoke thus to me with his strong hand upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying: 12 “Do not call conspiracy all that this people calls conspiracy, and do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread. 13 But the Lord of hosts, him you shall honor as holy. Let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. 14 And he will become a sanctuary and a stone of offense and a rock of stumbling to both houses of Israel, a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 15 And many shall stumble on it. They shall fall and be broken; they shall be snared and taken.”
16 Bind up the testimony; seal the teaching among my disciples. 17 I will wait for the Lord, who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope in him. 18 Behold, I and the children whom the Lord has given me are signs and portents in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion. 19 And when they say to you, “Inquire of the mediums and the necromancers who chirp and mutter,” should not a people inquire of their God? Should they inquire of the dead on behalf of the living? 20 To the teaching and to the testimony! If they will not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn. 21 They will pass through the land, greatly distressed and hungry. And when they are hungry, they will be enraged and will speak contemptuously against their king and their God, and turn their faces upward. 22 And they will look to the earth, but behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish. And they will be thrust into thick darkness.

After seeking advice, the king made two golden calves. He said to the people, “It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Here are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.” One he set up in Bethel, and the other in Dan. And this thing became a sin; the people came to worship the one at Bethel and went as far as Dan to worship the other.
(1 Kings 12:28-30)
(1 Kings 12:28-30)
quite obviously, from scripture, not from a Christ-denying mystical, talismanic, pagan Jewish institute, Bethel and Jerusalem are not the same place.
also a golden calf was set up in Bethel ((and also in Dan)) where the Israelites prostituted themselves.
as opposed to going to the temple in Jerusalem.
[HR][/HR][HR][/HR]
so basically,
a pagan/zionist website, or scripture?
which one you gonna believe, stonesoffire?
Jacob's words, not Gods.
is this one of Jacob's finest moments?
he is effectively telling God, 'you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours'
& 'pay me rent and you can live in this rock'
((i have not read where God said, gee thanks Jacob, I was homeless, but now I will live in this stone. you make an attractive offer I can't refuse))
the temple institute is telling you that because Jacob poured oil on the rock, it became magical, and God is trapped in it.
what's God doing dwelling in the tabernacle later in Exodus, if He is trapped in a rock miles away? why does He later have Solomon "build a house" for Him if He's already got one 15 miles north in a stone, that He bought from Jacob by giving him food & clothes?
oh - is Jerusalem maybe God's summer house?
hey does He also have a little vacation getaway in Palm Springs?
lolol

you are deceived
you need prayer. I already have a couple of spiritual battles going on so maybe someone else can take it up?
mind you, I have learned that if a person does not want to be set free and enjoys their little charades of supposed special knowledge, there is really nothing you can do (well except prayer)
God help you
and not that it matters especially, but I know about portals and I know about deception and I know about how demons fool people and give people 'feelings' and suck people into their schemes and lies
sadly, you will find what I say to be true one day. hopefully, sooner rather than later. and when you do, please do not blame God because you went willingly in ignorance

haha
don't forget your sword of the spirit with which to cut the jungle of lies and insinuations that some are trying to plant
you know, these folks just don't get it
in fact, the trough they are feeding from has an endless supply whereas our endless supply is being prepared and we content ourselves with what God has revealed through His Son
and it's a known fact that some complain about manna and then God gets...um....peeved....and sends meat for them to tear into even though it was not really on the menu
I am sure you get the analogies
sadly, you begin to understand why Jesus spoke so many parables
fire is hot. you will be burned or refined
I've done some of my own research on two of the supposed Christians who seem to be helping drive this whole alien/portal thing. I am going to research a few more of the prominent ones as well as soon as I get time, but I have two for now.
Tom Horn
Tom Horn is an author, maybe best known for his book Nephilim Stargates: The year 2012 and the Return of the Watchers. He is also Chief Executive Officer of SkyWatchTV. According to skywatchtv.com, Mr. Horn is:
Long time television and radio personality, author and publisher, Thomas Horn, serves as the Chief Executive Officer of SkyWatchTV. At the dawn of the Internet, Horn launched two news services where coverage of latest-breaking news and information on cutting-edge stories covering religion, prophecy, discovery, and the supernatural through in-depth investigative reports led to his network of writers being referenced and interviewed by the biggest names in broadcasting, including: LA Times Syndicate, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, FOX,Time, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Miami Herald, BBC, MSNBC, Michael Savage, SciFi Channel, History Channel, Hannity & Colmes, Sid Roth’s “It’s Supernatural”, The Jim Bakker Show, Celebration Daystar TV, FaithTV, The HarvestShow, The 700 Club, Coast to Coast AM, WorldNetDaily, NewsMax.com, White House Correspondents, and dozens of other news magazines and press agencies around the globe. SkyWatchTV is the consummation and new “mothership” of Tom’s several subsidiaries including Defender Films and Defender Publishing.
Nothing in this very short biography is really a call for concern other than his association with mostly secular groups and Christian networks with poor credibility and track records. How deep his association with these groups goes is not mentioned however, so a proper judgment can't be made on this information alone. Mr Horn's SkyWatchTV website claims a "7-Fold Vision" which we will look more into in a moment, but first, credit should be given where it is due. At the bottom of the "About" section on Mr. Horn's website is a short statement of faith which reads as follows:
We believe:
1. That the Bible is the literal, divinely-inspired and complete Word of God
2. In one God, creator of all things, eternally existing in three Persons.
3. That Jesus Christ was and is true God and true man.
4. That Jesus Christ was born of the virgin Mary by the action of God’s Holy Spirit.
5. That God, through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, is active in the world today, convicting and
6. regenerating man, to the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ
7.That the true church is comprised of all such persons who have been regenerated (born again).
8. That man was created in the image of God, but fell into sin, and requires a redeemer.
9. That the shed blood of Jesus Christ provides the only means of salvation.
10. In the imminent second coming of Jesus Christ.
11. In the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ and the bodily resurrection of those who die in Him.
12. That water baptism and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances to be observed.
13. That Jesus Christ is the head of the local church.
While typically preferring more in depth statements from organizations claiming to be Christian and acting in active ministry, at least they have something. That is more than can be said about many highly acclaimed churches. So Mr. Horn's website speaks about a 7-Fold Vision. What is that? According to the website, it includes: A new paradigm in Christian broadcasting; investigative reports; Defender (a subsidiary) books and films; annual national conference; skywatch magazine; 150-acre retreat; and charitable trust. This can be read in full at THE 7-FOLD SKYWATCH TV VISION � SkyWatchTV. There is a snippet in the beginning of this vision (which is basically just a business model) explaining that this company is non-profit and speaks about the Great Commission, spreading the Gospel, practicing the gifts of the Spirit, the importance of proper theology, etc. My gripe, however, is that not one single bible verse has been quoted yet on this website. There is a lot of biblical terminology, especially in regards to prophecy, but not one single bible verse to go along with their information.
Interestingly, there is a counter at the top of the website on every single page counting down to the fulfillment of a supposed prophecy by a fireman in regards to America and President Trump. According to the current date and time, the prophecy is supposed to take place on July 4, 2017. What is supposed to happen? Who knows. You have to buy the book to find out it would seem.
Mr. Horn's website also consists of a large library of videos with such titles as Are You a Christian or Just Saved (?), Admiral Byrd's Vril-ya in Hollow Earth, Conquering Demonic Oppression, Observation and Simulated Reality, Joy from Thought Control, Quantum Machines of Atlantis, and Quantum Machines of the Antichrist. These are very bizarre topics being promoted by a Christian organization. There is very little in the way of actual Christian subject matter. In fact, this is more like the bizarre side of YouTube with every conspiracy theory you can think of being presented. The impression one with wisdom and discernment would get from visiting Mr. Horn's website is something along the lines of "this is some kind of weird Christian Science/Alien cult". And that is precisely what I believe this is. It is simply capitalizing off of the current conspiracy hysteria that is sweeping the world.
Apart from the New Thought and Christian Science promoting oddities on Mr. Horn's website, he is also a regular guest on the conspiracy theory program Coast to Coast, another connection between him and his colleague Mr. Marzulli. Mr. Marzulli also recommends Mr. Horn's book, Nephilim Stargates: The year 2012 and the Return of the Watchers, stating: "Horn has inside knowledge of a demonic cabal that may be controlling some of the worlds leading governments. In addition, Horn believes that the fallen angels who sired the Nephilim may be the unseen puppet masters. Chilling!" L. A. Marzulli, Author of Politics, Prophecy & the Supernatural. There is that "inside knowledge" that no one is allowed to know unless you buy one of the books or DVDs. This conspiracy theory is not new and any secret knowledge claimed by either of these men is no more enlightening than any of the plethora of conspiracy theories already out there available to the public via the internet.
Other websites associated with Mr. Horn (assumed as owner) via coasttocoastam.com include ahrimangate.com, officialdisclosure.com, apollyonrising2012.com, forbiddengate.com, beast-technology.com, and raidersnewsupdate.com. Many of these websites don't load as of the date of this review or they redirect to skywatchtv.com. One website mentioned as his by coasttocoastam.com is particularly interesting – ahrimangate.com. This is a purely science fiction site with recent blog posts with such titles as Best of Horror Science Fiction and Fantasy, Women in Science Fiction and Fantasy, and Horror Science Fiction and Fantasy. This is an interesting site for a Christian to be running to say the least. The connection to Mr. Horn comes from the name Ahriman, which is included in the title of one of his science fiction books, The Ahirman Gate: Some Gates Should Not Be Opened.
While this might seem harmless, considering all the other connections to the occult and the utter lack of any biblical concepts or scripture on these websites, the word Ahriman itself should be examined. The word Ahriman is a Zoroastrian/Persian god, also called Angra Mainyu and is described as the "destructive (or inhibiting, maligning, deceiving, evil, etc.) spirit (or mind, thought, etc.)". Any Christian buying into these bizarre alien conspiracy theorists should really stop and be concerned with by what spirit are these theories being perpetuated and for what reason. While I'll admit that it is highly likely that aliens are demonic deceptions, those so obsessed with and consumed by the conspiracy theories seem to be operating under the same demonic powers. Their intentions, though maybe not obvious even to themselves assuming they are deceived, is to bring people into a state of perpetual bondage and fear, to have them chasing fairy tales and myths, and ultimately to conceal the Gospel of Christ as they war against God.
In conclusion, it seems like these men, anyone connected to them, or anyone who puts out similar information to their's, basically react to every conspiracy scare that gets put out there. The 2012 Mayan calendar scare is a prime example. Plenty of prophecies imagined and books written to capitalize off of that.
Tom Horn
Tom Horn is an author, maybe best known for his book Nephilim Stargates: The year 2012 and the Return of the Watchers. He is also Chief Executive Officer of SkyWatchTV. According to skywatchtv.com, Mr. Horn is:
Long time television and radio personality, author and publisher, Thomas Horn, serves as the Chief Executive Officer of SkyWatchTV. At the dawn of the Internet, Horn launched two news services where coverage of latest-breaking news and information on cutting-edge stories covering religion, prophecy, discovery, and the supernatural through in-depth investigative reports led to his network of writers being referenced and interviewed by the biggest names in broadcasting, including: LA Times Syndicate, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, FOX,Time, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Miami Herald, BBC, MSNBC, Michael Savage, SciFi Channel, History Channel, Hannity & Colmes, Sid Roth’s “It’s Supernatural”, The Jim Bakker Show, Celebration Daystar TV, FaithTV, The HarvestShow, The 700 Club, Coast to Coast AM, WorldNetDaily, NewsMax.com, White House Correspondents, and dozens of other news magazines and press agencies around the globe. SkyWatchTV is the consummation and new “mothership” of Tom’s several subsidiaries including Defender Films and Defender Publishing.
Nothing in this very short biography is really a call for concern other than his association with mostly secular groups and Christian networks with poor credibility and track records. How deep his association with these groups goes is not mentioned however, so a proper judgment can't be made on this information alone. Mr Horn's SkyWatchTV website claims a "7-Fold Vision" which we will look more into in a moment, but first, credit should be given where it is due. At the bottom of the "About" section on Mr. Horn's website is a short statement of faith which reads as follows:
We believe:
1. That the Bible is the literal, divinely-inspired and complete Word of God
2. In one God, creator of all things, eternally existing in three Persons.
3. That Jesus Christ was and is true God and true man.
4. That Jesus Christ was born of the virgin Mary by the action of God’s Holy Spirit.
5. That God, through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, is active in the world today, convicting and
6. regenerating man, to the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ
7.That the true church is comprised of all such persons who have been regenerated (born again).
8. That man was created in the image of God, but fell into sin, and requires a redeemer.
9. That the shed blood of Jesus Christ provides the only means of salvation.
10. In the imminent second coming of Jesus Christ.
11. In the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ and the bodily resurrection of those who die in Him.
12. That water baptism and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances to be observed.
13. That Jesus Christ is the head of the local church.
While typically preferring more in depth statements from organizations claiming to be Christian and acting in active ministry, at least they have something. That is more than can be said about many highly acclaimed churches. So Mr. Horn's website speaks about a 7-Fold Vision. What is that? According to the website, it includes: A new paradigm in Christian broadcasting; investigative reports; Defender (a subsidiary) books and films; annual national conference; skywatch magazine; 150-acre retreat; and charitable trust. This can be read in full at THE 7-FOLD SKYWATCH TV VISION � SkyWatchTV. There is a snippet in the beginning of this vision (which is basically just a business model) explaining that this company is non-profit and speaks about the Great Commission, spreading the Gospel, practicing the gifts of the Spirit, the importance of proper theology, etc. My gripe, however, is that not one single bible verse has been quoted yet on this website. There is a lot of biblical terminology, especially in regards to prophecy, but not one single bible verse to go along with their information.

L.A. Marzulli
This is a short biography from Marzulli's own website (lamarzulli.net):
L.A. Marzulli is an author, lecturer and film maker. He has penned 10 books including The Nephilim Trilogy which made the CBA best sellers list.
Hereceived an honorary doctorate for the series from his mentor Dr. I.D.E. Thomas, who was the Provost at Pacific International University.
He was also honored with the Gold Medallion award from Chuck Missler at the K-House conference in 2014. (Which amounts to a second HonoraryDoctorate!)
His series On the Trail of the Nephilim I & II are full-color,over-sized books, which uncover startling evidence that there has been a massive cover up of what he believes are the remains of the Nephilim, the giants mentioned in the Bible.
L.A. is On the Trail!
L.A. Marzulli teamed up with film producer Richard Shaw to create The Watchers series. There are now TEN installments in the series and Watchers 7: UFO Physical Evidence, won UFO Best Film and the Peoples Choice Awards, at the UFO Congress in 2014!
Marzulli and Shaw took their second trip to Peru in January of 2014, filming ancient artifacts and megalithic structures at various locations, and also filmed the unwrapping of a 2000 year old mummy skull, at Sr.Juan Navarro's Paracas History Museum, which was revealed in Watchers 8!
In Watchers 10: DNA, as well as his new book Nephilim Hybrids, Marzulli and Shaw reveal the long-awaited DNA evidence from the Paracas Skulls. In Marzulli's opinion, what the DNA reveals re-writes history as we know it.
Watchers 10 and the book Nephilim Hybrids, is packed with information concerning what Marzulli believes may be a massive cover up.
Marzulli has launched a new series, The Watchman Chronicles and his first independent film will be released in March. The title of the series is In Their Own Words: UFOs are Real!
This is a hard-hitting expose on the burgeoning UFO phenomena. The series is geared toward the sleptic [sic] as a wake-up call to what Marzulli calls: The Coming Great Deception.
Marzulli is a frank super-naturalists who has lectured on the subjects of UFOs, The Nephilim, and ancient prophetic texts, presenting his exhaustive research at conferences and churches, as well as appearances and interviews on numerous national and international radio and television programs.
The first thing of note from Mr. Marzulli's biography is that he is a film maker and author. While not something to be considered by necessity inherently evil, let's consider the subject matter of what he writes about and what are in his films which is predominantly a conspiracy theory about aliens infiltrating the human race through genetic engineering. Again, while not inherently evil, one has to ask their self, if Marzulli has such a conviction regarding these theories, why is he not making the information readily available for public consumption and alerting people of this grand plan by an alien species?
In order to be made fully aware and see the full disclosure of this conspiracy against the human race, one must purchase items from his store which is conveniently the first link after the "About the Author" section of his website.The home page itself is nothing but an e-commerce platform web page with a list of merchandise to purchase. The cost of the merchandise ranges from $20.00 to over$100.00 in price.
Also of note on his home page is an embedded video promoting his new movie Watchers 10. In the preview, the well known conspiracy theorist George Noory, host of the radio program Coast to Coast,is depicted speaking of these alien-hybrid giants. Other conpiracy theories promoted by Coast to Coast include,but are not limited to, the Loch Nessmonster, UFO sightings, existence of the Atlantean civilization (which is linked to alchemy and Thoth, an Egyptian god and Hermes a Greek god), existence of ghosts, communicating with the dead via theoretical scientific means (necromancy), haunted idols, and many other bizarre things. Using Coast to Coast as a means of promotion is alone enough to to bring Mr. Marzulli's claims into disrepute.
Next of note in Mr. Marzulli's biography is the mention of two honorary doctorate degrees. While this is an amazing accomplishment for Mr. Marzulli, one should consider that honorary doctorates are not equivalent to actual doctorates. Any claim of the title doctor by Mr. Marzulli, at least based off of his biography which does not mention any formal college degrees or education (not that he may not have any), should be viewed with skepticism. However,that is in no way an attempt at discrediting his honorary achievements.
Mr. Marzulli's biography also states that he has teamed up with Richard Shaw to create The Watchers series.Upon inspection of films that Shaw has produced (which is primarily The Watchers series), the two that stood out most were Torah Codes: End to Darkness and The Power of Words. There are some very disturbing facts about these two films. The Power of Words is a documentary about a book created with only Jesus' words in it, the rest of scripture being removed, which essentially obliterates biblical context. Anyone who knows about how important context is to understanding scripture properly will comprehend the utter fallacy of creating a book like this (Deuteronomy 4:2, Deuteronomy 12:32, Revelation 22:18). Not only that, featured in the film is Bernard Beckwith, a minister and advocate of New Thought which is an aberrant New Age philosophy that claims "human selfhood is divine", "right thinking" has healing effects, and leads into other forms of Transcendentalism and Mysticism. These systems of thought are prevalent among occultic Mystery Religions. Shaw is also featured in The Secret, a book and film that teaches New Thought, Transcendentalism and Eastern Mysticism.
The other film, Torah Codes: End to Darkness is a movie about a mathematical code in the Torah that is claiming to be prophetic in nature. Using mathematics and numbers to attain "secret knowledge" from scripture is, again, Occultism. It is also called Divination and is forbidden by God. This means of gaining information is used by Kabbalist and other Mistery Schools to seek out "hidden knowledge" and is at its core anti-Christian in nature. Featured in the film, among many others, is Rabbi Matityahu Glazerson, an Israeli Kabbalist.
Apart from all of this evidence in favor of a Christian outright rejecting Mr. Marzulli's information as a source of authority on any matter pertaining to Christian living, the biography claims he is a"frank super-naturalist". What is meant by this can only be speculated, but considering all of the evidence of his involvement, or at least connection with occult practitioners, this application of "super-naturalist" should be met with extreme skepticism. No where in the biography does Mr. Marzulli claim to be a Christian, nor is there any statement of faith on the website as to what doctrines, creeds, or theology he would adhere to if he were.
This is a short biography from Marzulli's own website (lamarzulli.net):

Denadii,
I've scanned through your posts, and I'm trying to figure out what you mean by an 'interdimensional portal.' Dimensions are things like height, width, and length. Some physicist (I think it was Einstein) would say 'time' is a dimension. I heard an astrophysicist try to explain extra dimensions as a way Jesus might have disappeared when He appeared to the disciples. That's not the same thing as a 'parallel world', though.
I've seen the show sliders. I've never seen a worm hole open up and see adventurers fall out. I've never fell in a hole like that or even seen one. Do you include this kind of sci-fi stuff in your 'interdimensional portal' definition, or is it just 'portals' to spiritual realms you are talking about?
Do you mean a portal to a parallel world like a comicbook multiverse? Or only 'portals' to Hell and Heaven you are thinking of?
I can't think of any Biblical support for portals. I don't see any reason to think a whirlwinds is a portal. Would angels or dead spirits have to go through a 'portal' to get to heaven or hell? I suppose it's theoretically possible, but I don't know of any evidence for it.
