The Accuser and the Forgiver
Accusers seek their own destruction, just as forgivers seek and gain, in addition, forgiveness for themselves.

The Accuser and the Forgiver

Evolution Only Speaks to Things
Changing Within Themselves
Trees are only known by their fruit. This is why figs do not grow from apple trees. Grapefruit, at one time, was bitter and still is, but combined with oranges has now a different sweetness than either of the two.
Fruit, meanwhile, still does not grow from nuts.
The eye of an ape functions, but it cannot and does not evolve from a bird, or else it would be something else altogether.
The Tree is Known by Its' Fruit
When my spirit is released on its' own, I will find then what I truly believe. If my words were far from my heart, I will either contend or be content with that, whatever it is.
If I believe there is no existence, nor any God, when that happens then I believe I will know it.
So, if I did not believe in God, or something like nothing at all after my evolvement into the death of my body and mind, it is far from certain I would not know it.
To know I do not exist and still know that very fact is very close to my expectations of hell. Even nothing to be nothing has to be something to be known, and especially be experienced.
Or, for instance, if I believe in reincarnation, and that then I would be stricken to believe in lives lived over and over, This sounds interesting at first, but the ultimate descent would, like a drug, bore me into an untenable state of the extreme.
Passion is the Energy
That Produces Motion
One can only prove God to their own satisfaction. I can prove or disprove God, but it is all only death in the water without faith given by God's Grace, and witnessed by the Holy Spirit who draws whom He will. This according to Jesus.
Energy is first, and then follows Emotion. Believing is not Logical. I am never a certain judge of my Faith, either great or weak. The Holy Spirit convicts and the Paraclete testifies in defense. God does not permit His presence to sit in front of evil unless His grace has gone before where there is no more sin. Or in our terms, entirely forgotten, out of mind by God.
God Created Our World and
Then Hung It in an Empty Space
God created this world of change, since He is the eternal world where there is no time. Time only exists in untold comparative comparisons.
Secret Things Belong to the Lord
Prophets predicting the future are told so by God. If a prophet predicts a future that did not happen, then they are by their own definition a false prophet.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen. The strength of the substance reveals actual evidence of the unseen, according to one's belief.
Faith is how and where the future comes from....
Doctrine Law vs the Spiritual
My new devotional is entitled Jesus Calling, not God Calling. I bought it because of the title as I am very easily focused on Jesus even tho I have yet to buy a Red-Letter Bible, with only the words of Jesus quoted in it.
Since Jesus is quoted in the full Bible mentioning Jonah for example, this gives greater authority to that prophet, one might think. This could give some stumbling blocks. Those concentrating heavily on doctrine are often found less attentive by the spirit than the physical in my view.
Nevertheless, since Jesus agrees with the Bible He is quoted in the devotional as author of it. For those troubled by this difficulty, I can only suggest giving more emphasis to John 17. The spiritual is highlighted there.
Jesus is Christ in Us
The Hope of Glory
Spoken and preached by Paul through the Spirit of Christ, is a mystery incarnated for us by Jesus from the will of God. What God places in our hearts is the perfection of Jesus that we might gain the richness of that glory.
I Will Get What I Believe
Jesus is quoted as saying I will reap what I sow. This is why I think I will get what I believe. If I did not believe in God, then I would have to be my own god. Rather I think it more likely that God created, but some turned things to trash, then blamed it on God. I don't have every answer which is why I need faith, Faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen. At least not seen so far at this point.
When faith is substance....
then I will trust substance which is more real to me than any personally drummed up conviction of faith. (see Manna.)
