Be it done to you according to?

Healing

Jesus asked many times; do you believe I can do this? When the answer was Yes, then He said, "Be it done to you according to your faith."

My Answer to evil

The Question of Evil

God does not have to answer to, or for, evil, I do. I entered a store, in my cycling days, which said God spelled backwards is dog. Backwards is the key here. The devil spells everything backwards. That is his trademark.

Original Sin Required Knowledge

Reciting the Lord's prayer backwards is his boast. Far as I am concerned the devil answers for himself. I have to answer for the knowledge business. Knowledge seems bold and beautiful, but it is never ending in that it also includes knowledge that expands to include knowledge that I am not, or was not, ever aware of previously. 

To say God is responsible for evil is to negate any definition of God, an impossible event logically and I would think, is in itself an obvious fallacy. But, as noted, it is not only never ending, but is also, growing to increase my ignorance of knowledge I do know.  

Do not rely on various proofs

Everything Lives from Faith

 I've had some tell me God is not Existence. There are those who say Jesus was murdered. This points to a lack of awareness of the spirit. This puts understanding directly in the path of the flesh without any provision for the spirit. The flesh cannot help us Jesus has said.

I believe people accept proof based on their own particular satisfactions, and if it satisfies them, then they are happy. If they have no God, they may also necessarily be their own God. But the flesh keeps changing. First to the good and then to the dust. My hope is not in my flesh, but in my faith. 

There are many unanswered questions. That is where faith comes from. God places things in our hearts. Where or how else could we know it?  We are then responsible for our choices. My view as I speak.

Believing is more than Agreement

When Believing Becomes Faith

The seen world is all some only know. What is of ourselves seen, changes before us growing until it seems to regress. Finally, it passes away altogether never to be seen again.

There is a jumping off station, for those who can address it. Despite the changes we each have endured; it disappears as if into a detailed dream quite believable until awakened. Eventually, seeming enough, it then, almost is totally unbelievable. Finally, I am entering out of my changing flesh, into an embryonic spirit. This is what I believe. I will find myself emerged into what I truly believe. 

Psalm 103

Every Tree Known by its Fruit

For a powerful spiritual l pick me up I find the 103rd Psalm a very readable psalm among many bright stars glimmering in my faith building intent to strengthen my spirit.  

I try never to take an offense, so I won't be an offensive person...

"Never criticize or condemn - or it will all come back on you." Luke 6:37

Anything is possible if you have faith. Mark 9:23.

Working Out My Own Salvation 

The opening definition of this blog says I am interested only in issues and not personalities. So, I finally woke up and yanked it all back. How easy it was to unintentionally slip off track. No names were actually mentioned but I felt one could figure things out if they tried, right or wrong. 

I hope not to intend getting mis-directed into controversies. People are politics, and politics is bare bones largely gossip. Therefore, no matter what the subject, even those not named would provide the slippery opportunity to take things entirely off the subject into an emotional sidebar. 

Blogs are arranged in reverse of their timelines. If one has not read the previous positions, then the writer is forced to repeat things. Even if no personalities are involved, even then it tends to cause the writer to write heavily with a legal slant since subjects were part of a long list to be explained.

It is certain that personalities gather greater interest, but I am not interested in persuasions. Everyone is responsible for their own ideas, and they alone deserve the credit for them. I am working things out for myself.

Lawyers and my Paraclete

Here are my bare bones. I do not know what will happen to me when I die, but I tend to think that I, like everyone else, will get what I believe.

First, God will not, even cannot, allow before Him any sin. He is not the author of it, and He will not allow any sin to even appear before Him.

However, He will permit me to appear before Him because of my Paraclete. My Paraclete is of the Holy Spirit. He will vouch that I have faith in God and that I accept Jesus. Therefore, my sins are forgotten by God as if they never happened. 

This is because of Jesus, who took them away, as the last sacrifice, on the Cross. From thence forth, for the first time, there was no one any longer between God and man. No one any longer...the curtain was rent from top to bottom.

Proof and faith do not mix

 There are quite a few book titles that claim to prove the existence of God. If that is so, then there is that much less room left to please God. 

God is pleased with faith, not proof. Sometimes one proof takes center stage, then some other kinds of "proof" make their entrance.

I proved God existed to my satisfaction via logic. It all worked out nicely, but I found the trip self-absorbed to a fault. Physical proof to one's satisfaction is sandy ground that left a hollow spot.

Power was needed, as if like electric emotion. Enter my Paraclete to represent me before God.

Hope in the spotlight

Stay on the positive track

There is a risk between not predicting hope and predicting hope. There is a risk to attributing a lack of hope because of any lack of respect displayed among those who do hope. Those who hope, even tho they hope, may not know how or even what to hope for. Only by staying on a positive track can one predict hope. Negative hope can still exist, but not by any negative act. Realizing this is when hell enters the picture, cancelling oneself and realizing it at the same time.

Speaking too Soon?

I believe if I had enough faith, I could move mountains, that is, if I could only demonstrate enough faith. I understand I speak ahead of the crowd when I say I do not believe Jesus was speaking only figuratively when He said this.  

First there is, to my speculative view, an element of insight that overcomes some. It happens where one is able to see themselves in a brighter & greater and revealing light when someone of emotionally intense significance passes ahead of them. Where does that insight come from, to see oneself so clearly? 

It suggests a future life of the spirit, a flash from an embryonic stage, a completing stage, that is the seen world suddenly spiraled into a sudden glimpse of the unseen.

All things seen came from the unseen

My Epiphanies' 

A key word in my definition of epiphany is manifestation, normally of a sudden unexpected nature. It is like a sudden burst of awareness, at its root and is of religious importance. (The "ph" in the word pronounced as an "f".) There is an entire history to epiphany which one can google out if they are so inclined. 

There is a sense, from its religious origins, that it is a message from God, or His angels delivering a message from God. This is how I take it, which made it all seem private and supported the idea that God places things in our hearts. 

I also felt it was all sort of private and not to be witnessed. Of course, one has to be wary of unfriendly quarters that capitalize on any such experience as loony, which is what any hostile spirit being sent to accuse would do. 

This is where my old friend logic steps in. I am going to try to stick to my threads in the future and make it my witness. My friendship of logic frees me of the mis-entanglements of others. (Thank you Dr. Sahakian.)
