You're forthright. I like that.
Where are the holy grail, the menorah, the arc of the covenant and Solomon's gold? The greater likelihood is that they're hidden all together - somewhere.
Franklin's theory of gem atria hiding the secrets - even within the bible - are respectable.
Personally, I think the Beale is the true device of key to these treasures. I have my reasons for thinking this notion.
"Turning the entire religious community around" - now, that's formidable. No?
Heck, Beale may be an [original] Emerald Tablet - so to speak?
I'm glad you took my post in the spirit it was intended 81! Thank You.
Personally for me, coming from both a Protestant and Catholic world I believe that any Knights Templars that were left were the same as the Confederate Soldiers that swore allegiance to the Union... They were still Catholic. Maybe not in public, but they didn't change their beliefs.
The Problem with Gematria is it can be manipulated to fit preconceived beliefs or desired outcomes depending on which system is used and since Different Systems are widely used in Hebrew/Jewish cultures to fit the message each wants to convey, it's going to be next to impossible to get any mainstream Protestant or Catholic leaders or parishioners to even listen for a second. It's not exact at all. That's why the all the Ministers and Priests are refusing to listen. They do expect some provenance. You can't have that with Gematria. One word can be manipulated into multiple values.
I read the post about Maryland, Virginia and Washington...That's where you Have to get in the Catholic culture in my opinion.... Many Catholics, especially ethnic, even today believe in naming their Daughters Mary ____ Doe for instance. The girls don't always go by Mary, they use their middle name, but they were given that name in reverence for the Holy Mother and as a spiritual protection...Or they go by a combination of their names..Mary Alice, Mary Beth, Mary Catherine etc. I know families where every daughter has the first name Mary and all go by their middle name. Same with Virginia. Thats still is going on.
Those names were brought to the New World and used widely when establishing the colonies, estates, states, institutions etc. Protestants use those names as well obviously.... it's not exclusive to Catholics.
I'll be honest, I don't know enough about Beale to have a really in depth discussion. It's Interesting and I do follow some of the threads. There are many theories regarding that topic. My thoughts aren't set in stone... I was hoping Justintime would do a reveal soon. Maybe someday somebody will solve that. It very well could be an Emerald Tablet!
franklin never has an issue taking on Formidable challenges...the problems arise when others in leadership positions do not agree with his thoughts. I'd like nothing more than to see him succeed in a quest, but I think he has to be prepared to simplify and explain his thoughts without getting mad because he's not even started and is getting negative feedback and rejection from Ministers and Priests....that's not going to stop. Guaranteed. Tnet is a perfect place to hone his theory if he can do it without getting upset when questions or statements are presented....Every teacher experiences it.
I also think that the Holy Grail and other Holy artifacts are probably together.
