10. This comment is meant to address another comment made about Joseph's claimed use of divination. I am aware some will try to justify the practice of divination by making reference to this story. Here is the Biblical explanation. In many cases, discussion of the Bible usually ends up with the Bible being attacked. I have stated that the Bible will be made illegal a short time from now because it offends many.

    he most likely scenario is that Joseph owned a silver divination cup as did all Egyptian nobility at that time. The context is not clear that Joseph ever used this cup in divination. As part of his plan to test his brothers, he placed something small yet valuable in Benjamin’s grain sack. A silver cup was a perfect object in this case, as it held great financial and spiritual value in Egypt. The reaction of Joseph’s brothers reveals their concern: “They tore their clothes” (Genesis 44:13). Judah also said, “How can we clear ourselves? God has found out the guilt of your servants; behold, we are my lord’s servants” (Genesis 44:16). Joseph’s test worked. His brothers were immediately convicted of their sin against Joseph and attributed their current misfortune to God’s hand of justice.

    Another consideration is that Joseph had no need to use a cup for divination. God had enabled him to have prophetic dreams himself and to interpret the dreams of others. Joseph found his success in God without the use of props. After revealing his identity to his brothers and forgiving the wrong they had done him, Joseph sent them back to their father with this report: “God has made me lord of all Egypt”(Genesis 45:9).

11. 🖤🧡🖤🧡🏵🎃🖤🧡🖤🧡

12. Mexican has a beautiful culture , and we love to share it with the world 🇲🇽❤️

13. Aztec and mayan culture ❤️

14. QUETZALCOATL REPS THE SUN AND BRAIN WAVES WISDOM AND ALL ENERGY WAVES….FOR A PERSON IT'S A TITLE LIKE A PhD

15. TLAZOCAMATLI…THANK YOU IN NAHUATL…LEVELS OF ALTERS REP CYCLE'S OF LIFE, COLORS TOO, BLACK WOMB, RED BIRTH, GREEN CHILDHOOD, YELLOW TEENAGERS, BLUE ADULTHOOD WISDOM SKY'S THE LIMIT, AND WHITE GRAY HAIR BONES

16. There's some small towns in Mexico predominantly Mayan where people actually take out the remains of their relatives and clean them, this is seen as an intimate act of love and care for their love ones, they display the bones in wooden boxes with white mats with Mayan embroidery and the name of the person.

17. Too bad I don't celebrate that holiday .😘😧

18. The only thing I don't like is that some people believe this is Mexico's version of Halloween, but it's NOT. It's a celebration of the dead and has absolutely nothing to do with Halloween.

19. That altar director thought 😍👌

20. I don’t know how long ago this tradition began but I know for a fact it didn’t start 3000 years ago with the Aztecs because they didn’t exist in the Mexican lands until like 600 years ago.

21. NOT AZTEC CATHOLIC OR ANY RELIGION , IS A NATIVE AMERICAN CELEBRATION OF LIFE BY REMEMBERING THE DEAD.

22. Beautiful! Keep the tradition going! Stay safe🏵

23. I would like you to consider the fact that The Day of the Dead is not pleasing to our creator Yahuah. The day of the dead is a stench in the Lord's nostrils. This may come as a surprise to some. If you claim to be a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, please stop making altars, giving offerings to the dead, praying to deceased saints, ancestors, and Mary. The Lord desires a personal relationship with his children. This includes reading the Bible and praying to the Lord Yahushua and His Father Yahuah.

    There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord. And because of these abominations the Lord your God is driving them out before you. You shall be blameless before the Lord your God, (Deut. 18:10-13)

    For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, (1 Tim. 2:5 ESV)

    I know this warning will not be heeded by most. A one world religion is currently being formed. Two excerpts from recent articles demonstrate how this is happening. Pope Francis is currently promoting interfaith dialogue. The stage is now set for the revealing of the antichrist. Many of those who continue in spiritual blindness and who take part in this one world religion ware being conditioned spiritually to take the mark of the beast and give their worship to him at a certain point in time. This coming antichrist will demand worship through his mandatory mark.

    Similar vaccine pass systems are being put in place throughout the world. Soon, a global crypto currency system will be connected to this vaccine pass system, and a completely new way to buy and sell will exist.

    "In the heart of Berlin, a new sacred building is coming up with the aim of bringing Christians, Jews and Muslims to a single place of worship. The foundation stone will be laid on May 27 by people of these faiths. Called the House of One or, colloquially, Churmosquagogue, it incorporates a church, a mosque and a synagogue. A meeting space at the center of the building will be open to people of other faiths and world views as well as the secular urban society."

    "The Abrahamic Family House, which encloses a synagogue, a church and a mosque in a single complex, and which is scheduled to be inaugurated in 2022, is 20 percent complete, the Higher Committee of Human Fraternity (HCHF) said in a statement on Tuesday. The Committee, which is also supervising the project , said it is inspired by the 2019 Document on Human Fraternity. Constructed on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, the project is closely followed by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam Ahmed el-Tayeb of al-Azhar, who endorsed the design, the HCHF said."

24. It was a beautiful peaceful day yesterday in my home as it always is. Unfortunately 2 family members were added this year when they passed away a few months ago. The ofrendas bring joy and they're so beautiful when the night comes and the candles light up your home, the cemeteries, and peaceful.

25. History behind the Day Of The Dead https://youtu.be/w6ymTbK5Uj4

26. Very nice video. I liked it.

27. Not mostly Aztec, but synchronized with catholic

28. Para el resto de los latinos, esto es algo serio, no una fiesta rídicula y comercial

29. Wasn't the face painting only started because of James Bond?

30. Leftists love the Day of the Dead – they can openly celebrate the 55 million babies they've had torn to pieces.

    "Let me be clear : ripping a baby to pieces isn't infanticide, homicide, or any other kind if 'cide. Even if it's done after the, uh, thing, survives an abortion."

33. Jesus is the only way to life eternal

34. Shiba is the future, investing in it now is the wisest thing to do especially with the current rise
