Quoting Jesse Livermore

The truth cannot be told by those who know.

The Quoteblokes Hall if Quotes....

Anyone not believing in God, has to be his own God.

Anyone who takes offense, is offensive in the act of taking it.

Which man is worse off? The one who tells a lie or the one who believes it?

The more anyone learns, learns that the answer contains more questions they did not know, that they did not know. Therefore, their learning teaches them that they are even more ignorant than previously. 

Once one learns how to teach, they are in danger of losing how to learn. 

No one will ever have enough knowledge to know whether there is a God or not.

All things seen came from the unseen.....

                                                                                      Purpose of this blog is to 

define God the way God defines Himself, which is, as God is Existence in Exodus 3:14 "I am that I am." This is the name God placed into the heart of Moses by sudden revelation, similar to an epiphany. Also, He wanted to be known by this name forever "into all generations."

New format old rules.....

Finding a new format risky but we had a good run. I cannot predict what will actually transpire but viewers will see it all work right here in front of everybody. This will be the time to do it. Meanwhile I write for my own benefit and to convince myself only. I guess I am a witness, but I am a witness solely attempting to convince myself. I find many trying to convince others, only to be actually persuading themselves. I am completely certain everyone can only convince themselves. They will just have to take credit for it. Once anybody agrees with something, then they own it. They are on their own ticket.

Next entry is delayed.....

...working on a special notice 

All there is or much more to come....

If ever thing ends here, then this world's existence went to a lot of complicated meaninglessness for nothing.

What visions do the young see, and what dreams do the old predict? For what reasoning can I sense in the sudden revelations that entered the thoughts of the ancients? It looks to me, so far, we get what we believe. But who or what could conceive the patterns in the night sky that attract the wonderment of my eye in the night?

I am extremely thankful for it all, and I do not know what it is all for? 

One Sunday No Dogs in Heaven

Heaven Without Love?    

Pastor centered on, a perhaps ten-year-old boy who wanted to know whether his dog would be with him in heaven. No, the pastor said, his dog would not be in heaven because the dog did not have a soul. I walked out the center aisle. I just could not stand it.

Twain had some choice remarks on this, pointing out that many dogs were more deserving than humans to be in heaven. Dogs are very loving and are quick forgiving. But for this poor pastor, lions and lambs are likely in heaven with or without their souls, but not a dog?

I think the young chap will not likely be very desirous of being in an antiseptic heaven as the pastor himself foresees. I often wondered in my formative years about churches operating on the gas of such doctrinaire drivel, 

Unfortunately, I fell when a child to the wayside, calling God to account for these people. I was a victim of the logical fallacy misplaced authority. I am sure any dog will be in heaven as long as someone wants them there. 

Not Enough Faith

 Too Human for God?

I cannot fathom now in whatever context I meant by that slip shod remark yesterday. Now think I was off base there, so I am willing to step back after from some sleep and reattack a more steadfast meaning.

Rather than repair it I'll go even further out and suggest if we are supposed to be like Christ I need to yet venture even further out. Jesus said we would do greater things than He. That suggests to me that we will have to demonstrate much more Faith than anyone seems to have done so far.  

God speaks and there it is...

 Reason For Our Existence

Reason for our existence is because God spoke us into existence and, we were. That is my thinking, or I should rather say, observing.

I have no more enlightenment, at least in this moment than that. Only what the ancients wrote which was placed in their memories, as if from epiphanies. Sudden revelations are like that and further, they are extremely convincing and instantaneous.

We must remember however, that God is not speaking from the past but rather from the constant present which is to say, eternity. It is hard for us to even conceive of anything outside of time. It is as if everyone each falls into their own memories, and some never get out.

God is reasonable....

God Designed Us for a Reason

In perhaps many quarters it is understood God created us for a reason. But the too easy explanation often is, He wanted company. He just wanted it? He did not need it? Sounds slightly too human for God.

On the other hand, to deny people He creates, knowledge has the slight taste of a tease lurking on the sidelines. No, I think He had to warn them. If not, whatever happened to free will? God already knew about the devil wanting to be like Himself. Since Satan found he could not, he threw a tantrum and overturned the chess table. Now there is the whiff of me starting to slip away from myself again.

Drawn to God....

 Until Enough Faith Can Do Anything

Pentecost is not for today, it is said. So, what else is not for today? Is Jesus rising from the dead not for today as well? Where should I draw my Faith line? 

Mebbe it is that word, translated into English, the word enough. Maybe it should be more instead? I say in for a penny, in for a pound? 

I sense I am in hollow echoing place.

On the wrong tack/?

Pertaining to the earlier Post

It appears to me now that I am putting new clothing on an earlier error in which I am substituting proof, or in my particular case logic, for Faith.

I may be correct in assuming any lack of success is due to not enough Faith. But that is all. This would let me fall into the category of gaining and attempting to gain, enough knowledge, which is similar to the difficulty the rich have in attaining heaven. Why would the wealthy envy heaven if they think they already can afford heaven? 

I know no one is equal with God, so I am already more than satisfied with the joy of worshiping God. In order to lift God up above I have to lift oneself up to do it. This means I should do as it says in Philippians. Whatever is of good report, think on those things.
