Reminder 

I write fast and so am continually editing my posts at any time all the time.

The readable Bible

Underlining the Bible

Many people, I judge, carry Bibles, dog-eared, underlined, circled and commented about in the margins, for whatever reason I will not judge, to possibly make it appear they are devoted re-readers of the Word. 

I could never do it.   I used sticking, colored transparent bookmarks of various colors. Green tipped for strong verses for remembrance, gold to highlight the very most vital verses of all. I also used colored round dots to catch my eye for my favorite verses, etc. 

Once a pastor asked to see my Bible, that I had with me. He studied it, I thought, obviously looking to see how dog-eared it was.

If you read it all, often marking it up, it is not long before everything is underlined and nothing is highlighted, or even recalled, in my view. 

In any event, I respect my Bible, most especially my reading Bibles, and said nothing. Neither did he.

true love

 Chap sez to me, good chap, sez God loves me, and he (himself) loves me, but there is nothing I can do about it. 

When I will rest easy is when he can't do anything about it!

Why there has to be God

One With God

God has to exist whether one believes in any God or not. If someone does not believe there is a God, then they will have to be their own God.

The mind directs the body and grows old with the body. But if there is no spirit born in the body then without any spirit there is only an eternally uncomfortable sense of life stuck in a body without fruit. Knowledge of existence is not a spirit of existence. 

Being Like Jesus

Everyone already believes God is a Spirit. Believers distinguish God as the Holy Spirit. Since we were created, and that not by ourselves, we take on the personages of the creator. Jesus explains this in John 17. Elsewhere Jesus asks, do we not call ourselves all Gods? Baptist friends call it "little Gods" since they do not see Jesus' view the same way. Jesus, it is remembered, said we would do greater things than He. Those, that is, those of "great faith."

God's Laws Are for Our Own Benefit

Every single one of God's laws cannot be broken without eventual dire results. And Jesus' commandants, if not obeyed He said, means a person does not love Him. It is best to go with God. God and Existence is the place to be. 

Revenge Comes from God

God Cannot 

Negate Himself 

Revenge coming from myself is a sign of weakness. From God it is a sign of strength. It is from God that the rules of existence come. Outside of existence is a negative experience. I cannot accept any offense without becoming offensive, as a recipient myself.

Revenge does not come from God, it is rather the absence of God, who is Existence. Without existence, as a positive force, one does not exist. It consumes itself within any agreements with the negative. God is not an arbiter of justice. He is Justice itself. There is no injustice within Him for Him to experience.

Therefore, it is debilitating to absorb any injustices. Today, this is the way I see it. As for any change,it is difficult to see any change, primarily because God not only does not change, He cannot change.

Pushing Words to their limit

Communicating Ideas Not Yet Heard

Words are powerful and can inspire the mind that manipulates just as well as another that hears them. But they are crude and slow compared to   

communicating spirits.

Nevertheless, words think for us and can suggest concepts I have not yet been aware, much less understood. After the words of the mind, the spirit can conceivably avoid misunderstandings of the mind as mere tinkling symbols. I can only imagine what lies ahead.

My Future Stands on Great Belief

The Road Less Travelled 

That Critical Moment

When the Foxhole Comes

Blogs are written forward and read backward. There is some handicap there, but it is certainly not for the blogger unless he too listens to the present as the reader is forced to do. I make quite an issue of the time of reflection misleading the time of prediction because of it. 

I seem to be made aware many things I've carved into this memory which have been runover by the change in my thinking. That is why I point out that this what I believe in this moment of conception only. Who knows what will transpire, since?  

Struggles in Time

Time passes, and no matter how wonderful it was in remembrance or how sad once past, time is intensely sad upon reflection.

It gives me pause to wonder about my spirit embedded within eternity. How would I know any time passed in eternity?

To face the truth, I have changed over and over already. Within the different stages of my life so far, I have changed my appearance to such an extent many would come to not recognize me, much like others as well. One thing is certain, it may not be enough time for my satisfaction, to work out my present-day salvation, my greatest belief.

Is there a God?

All Things Seen Come from the Unseen

No one knows anywhere nearly enough to make a rational negative decision on any question. The more answers to questions we work out contain even more questions. Knowledge of our ignorance grows. If one makes a decision there is no God anyway then they are forced into the unnatural position of having faith in themselves, as being their own God.

The Old are Not Always Old

One Never Knows When the Blow May Fall

The flesh will not help us Jesus said. Everyone was born with no concept of time. From then on time has fooled us all, even to this very moment. 

From birth time will get shorter and shorter. Soon we won't trust anyone over thirty and as we enter our power years, from 40 to 60, we will know for sure time in our plateau years entitled us to instruct the young and the humor the old. We will agree with the old and then do what we want, the only correct choice, for them to make whether they like it or not. 😇

The Halo Effect

The Light Behind a Mystery

Electricity is something else no one fully understands. It is there functioning even in our bodies, and it works alright, but beyond any of that there is a bit of a mystery lurking in the shadows.  

I am stalled today as I speak, wondering how come ancient artists knew to paint haloes around people's heads as a signal of spirituality? The light from the sun behind the moon creates a halo, so there is the appearance connection. One cannot do much with only that alone however.

Everything is tangled in a mystery when it comes right down to it.
