---Wrestling matches were very common in Rome in 64 AD. ---Gladiator matches also. For gladiators the winner is the one who
remains standing “stantes” Carcopino 1938 page 241. https://archive.org/stream/dailylifeinancie035465mbp/dailylifeinancie035465mbp_djvu.txt ---The Gladiator match is so gruesome that reading it in Carcopino, one
cannot believe that humans can get so cruel in a mass frenzy. They screamed “Slay
him”, “Burn him”, “Strike”. The scenes are bloody. The same as computer games
in 2023! Hello. It is the same human mind. The mind is a baby that needs
special careful treatment, remember. ---There is no difference between a Gameroom in our day behind computers
with students and adults playing their hours away with Gladiator killing mental
feeding and Nero’s Gladiators and killing of Paul and Peter in the Arena.
Correct? ---They delighted in the pain inflicted and screamed: “That’s got him!”
Ever heard this in a modern Gameroom? We use to go there for internet emails.
Hello. ---Nero had joy in making African fighting African (Carcopino 1938 page
240). ---If the looser is not dead but raise his hand to ask for grace the
victor can save his life or kill him. One Gladiator saved someone and many
months later when they fought again, the one he spared earlier, killed him
(Carcopino 1938, page 241). ---The way it worked is that the victor asked the crowd what he should
do. The crowed waved handkerchiefs and say “Let him go”. Then the emperor Nero
must decide and often he follows the crowds’ decision. ---“The butcher of the arena became the breaker of hearts” said
Carcopino. Terrible correct? ---But then such a victor had to do it one more time and if he then won,
he had freedom forever, though he was a slave before. ---These cruel matches were for the love of honor and glory and desire to
conquer. Satan’s deep affections. Correct? Read Ellen White Patriarchs and
Prophets for his affections. ---The thousands of spectators to these cruel combats learn to accept it
as ordinary events. Welcome to the “Museum of Tragedies” or modern Newsroom on
Television screens. As one Italian Philosopher Paul Virilio said who died in
2018 called it. ---Here in Ephesians 6:12 it is not Gnosticism to speak of light/darkness
or power of darkness. ---Satan is a power of darkness and the light/darkness was already
mentioned by Jesus (S. Davidson 1894: 224 is not correct with his Gnostic
influence idea). ---We must remember that the long sentences and flow of ideas is
complicated in order to confuse Roman spies who sensor books. ---In Romans Paul would put stops in the middle of a discourse (see S.
Davidson 1894: 218). ---In Ephesians Paul is very redundant with words “wordy” (see S.
Davidson 1894: 209). ---Colossians was written simpler. But, Paul did not use the same
scribes. ---The form of the letter is such as to give him a save pass at Roman
checkpoints on the way to Ephesus. ---Paul said: For we wrestle (pale) not against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of
this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places = sanctuary in heaven
where Christ is battling Satan’s evil influences on people in the Most Holy
from book records of their lives] ---Christ’s role in the Most Holy of the heavenly sanctuary is to combat
the evil records balancing it with acceptance and confession of Himself. Stigma
removal as the “cleansing” of the heavenly sanctuary (see Daniel 8:14 with
specialized meanings in the essence of nitzdak = declared righteous, vindicated
but loaded with Leviticus language of the yearly Day of Atonement cleansing). ---Calvinists and Evangelicals know nothing about this. Adventism is more
advanced Evangelicals. It is the difference between 1.1, 2.1, 3.1 varieties of
Evangelicals as opposed to a 4.1 Adventist. Correct? ---Is your pastor into Gamerooms and computer games rather than the
Bible? You need to talk to him. When? Immediately.
