I feel a need to clarify myself to this group.

I have said that I study some Pythagorean philosophy. I don't often have time to make myself clear when I have a timer on a public computer quickly ticking away.
I have a spiritual gift simular to one of the gifts Pythagoras had. Pythagoras neither had a chance to learn about Christ nor did he have modern computing tools that I own.
Pythagoras had a genius behind some of his philosophy. His ideas about philosophical math led to the whole field of moderm mathematics even if very few people can grasp how he came up with the philosophy behind his number theories.
Truth even non-Christian truth is not heresy. However unbelievers who study truths outside of Christianity often produce heresy. Pythagoras could not possibly have been Christian as he lived 500 BC. Of course he would have false ideas from his pagan culture.
I don't study under Pythagoras as I study under Christ. I understand more about Christ than many here would think. I also study some things about philosophical mathematics that are very simular to what Pythagoras studied. I have a simular spiritual gift as Pythagoras and exercise the same. I fully understand all Pythagorean teachings and am aware of the flaws. Unlike Pythagoras I have had exposure to Christ.
It took me years to sort out what teachings come from Christ and what are Pythagorean as I was exposed to both at the same time. I could talk about pros and cons of belief systems all day every day. For example Science is a very developed belief system of truth. Too bad so many scientists are unbelievers.
As a result of my special gift that I developed after opposing an anti Christ drug priest, I heal/kill/drive out addictions. I was an unbeliever (agnostic). The addiction priest was a whoremonger who sexually tortured addicts and then gave them more drugs. The addiction priest's victims died several a year. This is how an ex-Jehovah witness agnostic came to Christ.

What troubles me is that because my ideation is simular (but not the same) as numerology I get dismissed as a fruitcake.
Addiction is sorcery. The tobacco lobby does not want to hear that. Those who sell psyche meds have the same problem as the tobacco industry. Both industries should be much smaller than they are now.
On March 1 1995 2PM Christ has personally told me that my path is within his will. I will not allow other's miscomceptions to change my mind about what our high priest told me. I will not loose faith because of my money situation. I hope I don't mayrter before I have adult grandchildren, but I think I will mayrter one day.
I'm not a Catholic Orthodox or Byzantine priest, but I am an anti addiction priest. I drive out addictions and/or addictive society will crusify me. As I drive out spirits against Christ I'm in Christ.
I have to carefully aviod lies, drugs, adultry, twisting Christ teachings, not believing and being fearful. I have to be careful even in my thought life.

PS concerning recarnation: Christ's answer to the Saduchees about marriage in heaven proves Christ does not believe in transmigration. I can show it to be mathematically impossible.

Richard Anthony,

You wrote: I don't study under Pythagoras as I study under Christ.

Until you get your own life in order the only thing you should study is Christ. But even before that you have obligations to your family, and should seek the guidance of professionals to put your life - and their lives - in order.

If those in the church and society keep dismissing you as strange you ought to take that as a sign that you need to change your life to one that is more Christian one. Any gifts you claim to have are useless unless you get your own life in order.

Forget about Pythagoras. Forget about everything else. Follow Christ. Until you get your life in order you really should not be posting on the internet. Seek the guidance of the Church and the experts in the community. You say you are homeless. If that is true then the only task before you in the short term is to get your life in order.

I am praying for you.
