 Job 11:7

Can you by searching find out God? Can you find the Almighty unto perfection?

Definition of Hell

God did not create Hell. All those in defiance of God create for themselves an experience which is the realization one is existing outside existence. 

Hope for oblivion is no relief because for oblivion to be it has to exist in some conceptual form. That form is the realization that since one is existing outside existence, this opposing contrast internalizes a conflagrant torment. Since time does not exist, this is without end or so it appears. 

All this may not be true. In addition, God may not exist. Maybe not one of us exist. In that case, even oblivion does not exist. Probabilities are starting to trail off into impossible contradictions. Everyone decides for themselves. Not deciding BTW is a decision the same way oblivion exists in order for it to be oblivion.  

Origin of evil

God does not tolerate evil in His presence

God cannot create evil because He can only speak good into existence or He would be acting against existence and therefore, Himself. 

Satan, after being brought into existence by God was good but then the devil decided to create evil so he could be his own god. He then became an adversary of God, the Holy Spirit and all Jesus' believers. 

It is the purpose of Satan, as the devil, to blame his work on believers. He became known as the defiance to God and is the accuser of the brethren. His anger glories in everything destructive. There are people like that as well. 

John 17

 The High Priestly Prayer

The standard blog presentation is backward to its presentation. I have decided therefore not to continue posting this chapter in this manner because my somewhat embarrassing superstitious view is not comfortable with the knowledge the devil can recite the Lord's Prayer backwards. 

So I will save the High Priestly Prayer John 17 as a complete "page" and present it whole, probably in Jesus Talking. This I feel will be more appropriate than in God is Existence or Manna. 

I avoid anything backwards, so before it can occur here I will present it whole as a page able to be read that way permanently. I might argue that John 17 is the most important chapter and John 3:17 the most important verse.

Theme of Jesus' ministry.....

The Holy Spirit is One 

With us all who believe

That we are all one, along with the Trinity, Jesus disciple in John 17, known as the High Priestly prayer, makes abundantly clear in several occasions throughout the entire chapter. 

From my perspective, there appears to be many who cannot conceive what a spirit even is and seem to be left with only the seen to sustain them. There are many spirits that chose to be both good and bad but only one Holy Spirit. 

When spoken into existence they were all good. But one in particular, chose to become the opposite and encouraged a resistance to God in favor of themselves. This must have happened, one would have to say, as if in a fit of apparent arrogance.

5:45pm - Suddenly it comes to me, I wonder, if I did not believe in God, would that mean I would have to be my own God? We all take our direction from somewhere. 

I remember a well to do man comment during a television interview that he liked playing God. Or, did he say being God? Playing sounds a lot like rehearsal in any event. It is either that, or dangerously close to playing craps with the devil in my view.

Gospel of Mark

 "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."– Paul in Romans 8:38-39 

Christians, I am reading of the Copts, are yet still having a difficult time. Whenever events are like that, so terrible, I suspect it is evidence for something completely different, strong and glorious somewhere in the background motivation. 

My introductory  understanding tells me there is evidence the Copts trace their founding to Mark soon after the time of Jesus Christ. This is an example of the flowing and changing of different histories mixing together that I posted earlier. 

History should not be treated as separate stories was my view. This also reflects on the interaction of groups and how they evolved historically under the competing impressions of differing points of view.. 

Everyone writes for their own benefit...

Writing is like reading...

Writing is like making out your own income taxes. Both take a lot of courage but not really too much courage when one thinks about it. Hemingway thought perhaps too much about it. He said to write you have to open up your veins and bleed. Guess he did plenty of that alright. I think if you can talk, then you can write.   

Biggest problem one can run into with talking, is that if you start to say something in a group, say four or five, and before you can get your chips into the mix quick enough, someone up and asks, "Is this going to a long story?" 

Jonah Foretells Jesus

Better view leaves
time behind.

The Unseen will soon be seen and understood with different perspectives from where we are now, surrounded by in the seen. When the convincing dreamlike vagueness of the seen falls away and is gone, my belief is I will see clearly. 

If I cannot believe Jonah then how can I believe Jesus? This is a false struggle between faith and commonplace believability. 

If one must believe in God then that devil doubt will deny His power. Now we are moving into what may be called Christian atheism I've often witnessed exercised in pretend church worlds. 

If it is not commonplace and/or is able to be proven then this means there is no need for faith in the supernatural power of God? The seen has destroyed the unseen?  

In this scenario faith has no power because it is not part of the mundane? But that is not supernatural, that is not spiritual. Therefore is assumes the positive proves the negative? Not likely. 

The bottom line is there are those who choose not to believe unless it is believable already. I choose to believe even if supporting facts are revealed later. Believing also even if the isolated act of believing were to make it so. 

I do not think believing something believable is demonstrating any purpose or need for great belief. It is when I believe the unbelievable that I move into the purpose for the power of my spirit to link with the Holy Spirit. If it is then shown it really did happen and it can be proved, so what? Mute. 

Belief in God is the sole link to continuing energy in the Holy Spirit according to the witness of Jesus. 

Time after time

 Sometimes, it must be said, that some of us plead with God to hurry things up. 

Time differs when comparisons are changed.

I myself accept His timing the best I can, because I am not privy to all the facts. Also there is no time in the unseen in any rate. But on the other side of the coin, His timing has been cited as just right, well before I even was aware of timing becoming an issue. There must be something wrong with time. Physical scientists cannot agree on a definition of just what time is. And too when I consider it, how can I understand anything without time in the mix? Latest entry in Manna features healing verses and mentions unchanging time in the final verses quoted.

Obeying God

 Everything God says is said for our own benefit. We forgive others for our benefit. We praise God for our benefit. 

We lift up God in praise because in lifting up God we lift ourselves up to do it, rejoicing. When we forgive others we are ridding ourselves of resentments as well.

Laws of Logic.....

....include recognizing fallacies

Generalities speak to generalities and specifics to specifics.

always know the premise

To intertwine the two is jumping categories, and a fallacy in logic.

Further, an example of what a man says is an illustration of his argument for the sole sake of clarification, but it is not proof.

From the rumblings rising in the Naked Eye it sounds like emotions are running high, as was predicted. Emotions follow the strength of the intellect. This is how power executes the intellect or perhaps weakens it. Nevertheless I do not want to find myself imputing wickedness to opposing views for fear of taking any offensives into my heart. I strive to be knowledgeable on that which is right, not having any predictive future pumping my life's blood into anything off center.

Rule of the Road

always check the premise first

Whenever I witness frustration, or any form of annoyance, while discussing an issue with someone, I understand this to be hard evidence of a weakness in their position. They are, in my view, thinking of persuasion for a reason. It is definitely persuasion, but persuasion wholly

 to persuade themselves since we all operate according to our own benefit as we each see it. I witness for my own benefit. Whatever anyone else gets out of it is up to their own spirit and/or whatever spirits they entertain. From my view, only the Holy Spirit convicts, and I am not privy to anyone else. I was never told anything relating to anyone else concerning what to say to instruct them. I was told however that I was to witness for myself, for my own benefit.  You can see I would not be big on mediums. There are many masquerading spirits, I only trust one spirit, Jesus. I am convinced it is hard to persuade otherwise someone with an epiphany.
