Deep in my definitionals

No Figures of Speech

Only Faith

The way anything is presented is the singular definition of art. Art is the way we do anything and is like the song Benny Goodman recorded says, it is not whatca do, but the way thatcha do it. That is the only way of it, not merely my singular view. 

Jesus makes an statement, quoted in the Scriptures where it is translated that if anyone has enough faith they could cast mountains into the sea. 

Jesus says this to me, filtered down to me through several language translations, to illustrate that the power of faith has no limit. So here Jesus is my absolutely very highest authority in this very fact.

First, if Jesus is involved the Holy Spirit is involved. I am treading very softly now. This is not art, this is faith I am talking bout. Only faith pleases God so I am definitely not drawing any lines in this. 

There is no figure of speech in Jesus statement. such as this temple will be destroyed and I will raise it up in three days, as in one instance, nor is Jesus in any figure of speech, a mountain.

My final jump of faith is: If Jesus said it I believe it and I draw no lines nor qualifications. Where or when would I stop? Was Jesus' victory over the Cross a figure of speech? The devil knows I believe in Jesus without reservation so he does not attack Jesus directly, but he attacks Jesus' power.

I believe this power is exactly what Jesus was telling me: the power of faith has no limit. I know there is little faith and there is great faith. Then there is only faith, that is, only faith that is pleasing to God.

I am only a witness to what I believe. God has not told me what to tell anyone else what to believe. I do not dispute my view so I do not dispute anyone else's view.

No exit

 Atheism doesn't quite know how it got in here, but is convinced there is no way out.

Atheism is eating Christian churches' lunch

Christ said Christians are not as smart as atheists. What do you think of that? Whenever I ask that question of a Christian I am asked where is that in the Bible?

Protestant church social cliques with which I've been long familiar are forever learning and never coming closer to the truth, This also is in the Bible and since I am not a chapter and verse person, "diligent seekers" who cannot find their lunch will just have to root that info for themselves. 

Churches dominated by retirees are treated almost continually with stories they should have heard by now at least a mil-yun times. Seldom if ever is anything difficult discussed such as increasing faith, and that at a time in one's life when it is clearly going to be tested sooner than later.
