John 1:17

No Longer Under the Law

"The law was given thru Moses but grace and truth thru Jesus Christ."  

Success is getting what I want

Happiness is wanting what I get

The central core of my belief is that I will get what I believe now in my next ahead of time. Rather more precisely the future of where I am heading, ahead of time eventually. Or, is it wishful, on the other hand, my daydreaming and purposely lookalike goalong. bull leave.

If I am successful in getting what I want, there is no garontee I will be happy with what I get. But that is the trend line as I see it, Looking at it as everything is constructed in my view so far.

Just as every object is hung on nothing in space, those with lesser mass orbit those with greater charismatic mass. 

All this is power charged, gathered by unseen forces evolving from the similar electro-magnetic soup we are aware of now, but do not fully understand, other than somewhat how it works, like gravity or elementary electricity.

We, generally we, are working toward this now, but we only can conceive of now as original sin. which is to be like God. The danger for us is to want to be like God and those opposed, being by some, who want to be God.

 All this is what I believe for myself, that is all I am wanting is objectifying, to increase my belief, belief in what I believe. 

Unfortunately however for my paradigm to be God requires destructive forces to get there, while to be like God requires the one already existing creative force, which is love. One is artificial and the other is true.

All this is way I see it. It is what I believe and I speak for my own personal benefit, the same as everyone else does. Those who appear to me to be wanting to convince others are in my opinion really trying to convince themselves.

God wants to be known 
thru out all generations as
I am that I am according
 to Moses in Exodus 3:14

I am wanting to convince myself. Everyone else will have to convince themselves. I was not ever a sin bearer so I cannot do any convincing. Jesus was the final and last sin bearer.

Psalm 37:4

Delight yourself also in the Lord; and He shall give you the desires of your heart.

Invictus

Storm in a Tea Cup

Invictus is a great stand out poem written by a successful writer who lived an incredibly difficult short life. While the poem itself is in no way atheistic  the author was a hearsay atheist which has set not a few Christians aflame.

Thereby they forget the commandment of Jesus to love everyone, particularly their enemies. ( There is a reason for this I might save for later.) Instead many Christians mock the poem, point out that the writer was a poet who wrote only one poem.

I understand that Clint Eastwood made a successful film about it which was favorably inspired by Nelson Mandela.

There are Christian pulpit talkers who point out their doctrinaire disagreements, suggesting the many  followers of Jesus who deserted Him because He said no one could come to God unless God draws them.

Also Paul was told that God's grace was sufficient for him. Paul responded by saying that this life's momentary suffering was of little account compared to the wonders of eternal heaven. 

Many early martyred Christians chose suffering in order to get a better reward in heaven.

Logically Christians, in my view, take the poem Invictus out of context, creating a different content in the process. Mostly a storm in a teacup resulting no love for one's enemies.

I once wrote Christians should not be drawn into any argument when the world was created since we are not of this world, we are of heaven. There is no time in eternity. It is all present tense. It was all a debate conceived by the devil to spin Christian's wheels.

If anyone insists in believing in Jesus despite the devil's efforts he will settle for weakening Jesus power if he can. I am staying with Jesus. But maybe I better should take my own advise and no more chewing of disagreements.

Belief Not Proof Pleases God

God does not accept any proof, since proof eliminates any need for belief, the only power that pleases God is belief. 

Praise is gratitude

Gratitude is Love

Whenever I want to praise God to lift myself up, my seek is often in Psalms, favoring ones in the nineties.

A little pop dog

 When I said recently I would like to be wherever Jesus was, like a His little pup dog. I was somewhat reticent,  wondering about the propriety of my remark. But I was unaware at the time of the Psalmist who wrote that he was like a flourishing olive tree in the house of the Lord. Perhaps I am somewhat of a stiff neck. Click to today's Manna

Objectifying the subjective

Playing Let's Pretend Pastor 

I have found I do not explain what I believe in the word of conversation equal to the same as the printed word. Whereas in the printed word I can objectify my thoughts, I cannot be as clear in conversation.

This is why I favor small groups talking together more so than in large groups all facing one speaker as every one else are rigid in silence. It all resembles the duplication of a sermon in formal worship services.

I think it promotes silent subjection among participants never to become comfortable objectively explaining themselves by witnessing to others. 

Focusing on Diligently

Only Way to Please God

 I am taking it straight to the word diligently lel righit lel! like a drill sergeant marching my platoon into the dark of the early morning.

My life has not been particularly diligent so far. Time has run over me like a wave of water wasting me away. Time has fooled me, lulled and measured me for a exspiring box, all when I wasn't loooking.

Speaking for time itself, that is all time is, is a measurement. A measurement between two positions in an orbit between me and a more charismatic entity.

It is not enough for me to seek God if I am not.....diligent!

Faith is the SUBSTANCE of my hope

and Evidence of All Things Unseen

 Altho the the definition of epiphany is a sudden revelation perhaps I am not exactly correct in my terms because in my case I could not to make head nor tail of what unexpectedly came to me.

I was coming home from summer Bible school and the exact scene is still fixed in my memory. Suddenly without warning the clear as crystal words came into my mind. "God is existence".

I had no idea of what it meant and further no curiousity to figure it out either. I did not know it was in Exodus as I am that I am.                             

The word epiphany however has its origin within the experience of the Wise Men following the star to the incarnation of Jesus as the Son of God, with the power to establish others as the sons of God.

I speak exclusively for my own benefit the same as everyone else. In my case it is to significantly increase my faith. I will hopefully  better evaluate my progress after the Holy Days. I am so far very expectant by changes moving within me. 

Facing the Convoluted Collusioner

I had what I thought at the time was a recurring dream during my first decade that gave me the conviction I would one day know something vitally important that I could not share with anyone. 

I came to wonder whether the devil was involved because mid decade my very first dream was of the devil, who as a fox was biting sharply my ankle while speaking without loosening his painful  grip. This all after I told him he was just a dream, that he wasn't real.

But believing I was invisible he primarily passed me by. Can it be seen where all this was leading? Right now, because of the worries and cares of this world, I have to zip off before I review experiencing my first sudden revelation, objectively known as an epiphany.

Time Eventually is Solid Sad

The Too Waste of Time Forever

Time as it passes by me has seemed extremely sad slipping away. And after building me up, threatens to grindingly wear me down like a flower wilting during a night time.

It does not matter if the dimming memories are happy or not. In fact the happier can be the sadder. It does not help that heaven promises us eternity in a never ending present tense.

Funny how it strikes me now. I was right there in the congregation during a sermon when a little boy, I sense about eleven, was told by the preacher his little dog could not be with him in heaven because he did nor have a soul. The dog that is!

A pet dog is not only very loving, but also very forgiving. Whatever kind of memory is it being promised to that boy? A heaven without his dog?

Samuel Clemens commented, I remember reading on this very subject when he said there were commonly many dogs who would d get into heaven well before more than that many people. 

I guess there are many more young people, who like me got off to a bad start in churches. Me all the while piling up perfect attendance awards being drilled to death with messily executed mind numbing coloring books.

Once upon a time always in my memory.
