If you ever accepted the Apostle's Creed and took Communion, you have a blood oath, but chances are, you are too ignorant to know that.
You just never thought about it that way, but upon any reflection at all, that is the only way to interpret what you've done.
What else do you do, when you accept the wine in token of his blood?
By word and deed you have bound yourself to the Creed:
"I believe in one god, the Father Almighty, maker of Heaven and Earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified dead and buried..."
And you drank the wine and ate the bread and never thought a single thing beyond that, never recognized the Apostle's Creed as a Blood Oath bound with Communion wine and your own blood, his blood in your blood.
How stupid can we all be, if this is not apparent?
How many "good Christians" out there have been thoughtlessly slurping up Communion every Sunday of their lives, and never realized what they were doing?
Lord, help us, so that we may not perish for our ignorance....
Many of the same people out there poking each other in the ribs and whispering, "Hey, be careful with that Anna von Reitz character, she's got a blood oath with the Pope!" have no idea that they have a blood oath themselves -- and not just with the Pope -- with every Believer, of every denomination worldwide, who accepts the Apostle's Creed and takes Communion.
That's right, all you Methodists are yoked with all you Presbyterians, and the Church of England is cheek and jowl with the Lutherans, the Weslyans, the Nazarenes, and the Full Immersion Community Baptist Temple. And like it or not, you are yoked to every faithful Catholic and member of the Eastern Orthodoxy, too.
That's what it means to be "one body" in Christ. His blood with your blood, your blood with his blood, and with the blood of all those who are sanctified, alive and dead and yet to come.
Lord, forgive us for being stupid. We remember your words. We don't know what we are doing... help us to wake up and become fully conscious...
Blood oaths are common as dirt, and you all have plenty of them.
What do you think marriage is, if not a blood oath? What do you think all your kids are, but living blood oaths? Your blood bound to your spouse's blood in living 3-D?
Lord, give me the patience to endure to the end, all the thoughtless ignorance of this world.....
The eternal life is in the non-physical realms, i.e. is of the soul and/or spirit. As always, we cannot communicate truth, unless we share a dictionary, and facts are that out there in the world, are people who use "spirit" and "soul" in exactly the opposite correlation as others do, so i'm rather hampered by the rampant lies of The Matrix Illusion most Sheeple dwell in and support, in choosing words to unambiguously communicate my message.
It is said that the
life is in the blood. It is.
It is in the
DNA. It is
quantum. It is
trans-dimensional.
Yet the blood-bearing body is left behind at death, so,
the eternal life of the soul/spirit is beyond
the temporal life of the body, and its' blood and
DNA.
So... while Anna's article above addresses "blood oaths" an allegedly soul-embodying hue-man may have engaged, whether innocently+ignorantly or with full knowing, the bottom line is that we are really dealing with "Soul Bonds" which transcend the limitations of the physical realm of the physical body, i.e. you are not liberated from a soul bond by exiting your physical body.
Even the typical commercial merging of two corpse-orate PERSONS in a State sanctified, (rather than God sanctified), "marriage", where the "vows" usually include the phrase: "...till death do us part" makes it clear the "marriage" being "engaged-in" is only "of the world", however, even if your contracts / vows are terminated by conscious free-will intent, there may still be and usually is a whole lot of left-over quantum-entanglement, a whole lot of karma to complete, to finally arrive fully in the here now-where life always is.
In "the goode olde days" one would have associated "The Church"
with "God" rather than with Mammon, however, these days, at least in the West,
nearly every "church" has become a "synagogue of Satan" by
in-corpse-orate-ing as a 501(c)3 Tax Exempt Corpse-Oration, and even the
Pastors / Ministers / Sheeple-Herders themselves are fully bound by
Marks of The Beast into Mammon, and they do not teach to their flock
to "Remove the Marks of the Beast to Come Out-Of Mammon".
Thats all about your blood oaths where you've "signed your name in cursive script"
to "enter a contract", and all commercial contracts are with the devil,
because only "the dead" may contract with each other. Not only must you terminate
all of your comercial contracts, but all vows, allegiance, any commitment of your will
"to be a certain thing" in the future. Life is only in the now, and the only
relevant "freedom" you can have while embodied (alive) is to not have pre-committed
your will in, about, and for "this minute".
Looking at what it takes to end your blood/soul oaths/vows/contracts, it's mostly about notifying every other party to your contracts that you are terminating all your contracts, that this is their last chance for settlement of accounts, with which "the Court of the Lords of Karma" may "facilitate". Yes, some contracts have "termination clauses", which must be fulfilled on your way out the door.
There are, of course, the dysfunctional, those beings who, and those Artificial Intelligences which, really don't give a damn about any contract(s) with you, they only care to dominate, enslave, abuse, and will do so any way they can get-away with. A perfect example of this is "The Pope", claiming to own the entire planet, all life on it, and all souls in that life.
...to that claim, about all i can say is:
"Your appropriate karmic debt balancing
will be to spend one lifetime each
as the slave of those beings you presumed upon."
...but then... i wouldn't want to be around you to collect on your debt to me...
so, i'll, as usual, just forgive you, go neutral, and move on without you...
Yeah... right...
"Turn to the light, get off of this planet, or be utterly destroyed!"
That you conquered in, and maintain dominance-over via, war,
does not, never did, nor ever will, gain you valid title over,
nor excuse your criminal imposition of your will upon, life on Gaia.
The bottom line is that until we clear our karma and our quantum entanglement with things of the world, we are not free to claim our spiritual freedom, and even dropping the [mankind] body we now have won't clear those.
