Definition in time

Heavenish, or Hellish?

Incarnation, that is to experience it, could be good or bad independently by itself.  However, in my view, reincarnation is quite another story. I know many like it the prospects of it, but the sticking point here for me is the prefix re puts me into a repetition sense which is a primary characteristic of a permanent position in a prison, mental physical or otherwise. I would be repetitively stuck repeatedly and eventually it would over control me into an increasing hellish story on the wall of a another mind, in a routine like a prison.

Time has no essence

Time fools us all because it seems more believable. We are born from uncompacting time to hopefully graduate, to be born this time into the eternal of the spirit, leaving the body's shell behind. 

While we speak we gradually frame ourselves to believe whatever our over riding outlook is becoming, or it could be simply  tongue belief.

The gravity of the unseen

Is God Close Enough to be Believed?

Speaking non-theologically with faith measured in, it is easy for me to conceive that if I have intense enough 

Time exists only in comparison

faith, enough faith that is, to believe whatever the  imagination can envision with the faith being spoken, like Jesus told us. Whereas otherwise, man devises all sorts of complex physical science artificially proven, compared to the uncomplications of faith.

Faith is defined as power coming from the unseen, according to how much power one can believe. It is seen physically in the dramatic charisma of planets orbited by others with lesser mass.

Quotebloking in the Bible

When I speak I reveal the fruit of my speech. The saying, I took it into my conversation reading the Bible, is the tree is known by its fruit. I've been hanging it in air around me for awhile  now. 

 Another important to me quote, I do not know where I got it. It just kept coming up in my conversation years ago. It was God is simple, it is man that is complex has turned out to be critical in my thinking right now.

From that another that captured me was that I should not give tongue to the devil. What I am coming to is the idea that persists in my mind that God spoke the world into existence. And God said and it was so in Genesis.

I am watching the clock over my shoulder right now in this moment in my space time life. Only time left to quote from one of my most favorite movies Beat the Devil, time always enters the picture in the end.

Time Fools Us All because it is Temporal

Can I Believe It?

I live in a time/space reality that came first from the spiritual, by the Holy Spirit. God spoke everything and it was so. He placed ideas in the hearts of His prophets, I think of as epiphanies. The word, epiphany was first used describing the heralding of the incarnation of the Son of God. 

The Biblical writer, Paul, in Hebrews, pairs the temporal as seen with the unseen, the eternal.  This is why many think, I believe,that he is the author of Hebrews. But it cannot be proven except to anyone's individual satisfaction like everything else. This is action is called, belief, in this case my belief. 

I've reviewed this before but I tend to bring things together to put my perspectives in action to see if everything fits in the foxhole. 

Just where this thread might take me gives me another viewing point, another objective angle, to test my belief in my effort to strengthen me in the foxhole. 

Devil in the Details

Lifting Up those Weak Arms 

Where would the devil take his newest admirers? I mean those wanting to learn their trade from the father of lies?

I think he would take them to church. For certain it would not be any of the sleepy barrooms, persistently comfortable and pleasantly leaning toward sleep. Now my view isthat his chief point of attack would not be Christ Himself, but His power.

He would take every chance to weaken that power and place doubts in members minds. Similar to the barrooms the devil very likely prefers church members who are side stepping slowly with sleep walkers.

Who could inspire such great writing?

Knowledge on display

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after nigh they display knowledge. Psalm 19: 1-2 (Click MANNA) left column

Ancient Writers Knew More Than We Credit Them for. Some scholars would rather  credit aliens from outer space as telling the ancients how to perform amazing feats left behind for us to wonder over today as to how they were ever accomplished without giant steam shovels floated over the ocean to isolated islands. Again, evidence was later found in Londonium library how Romans elevated huge precision cut stones in the Coliseum, furnish baths with water from far distances without alien assistance. Then again, elsewhere they stumble on  how a city disappeared into the sea or; how the Red Sea could catch a fleeing army, that is if it was once a tidal river at both ends. God is indeed a forerunner. If this satisfies us we find we will need more knowledge than ever just to fall behind.

Changed my mind?

Working out my own salvation? I have to watch my antecedents don't get mixed up with the precedents. Sometimes I feel Jesus is working me out. 

But very seriously, He worked out the precedents and it is up to myself to accept them. I believe the Holy Father, my Holy Father, sent Jesus. How many times did Jesus actually say He was sent by God in the High Priestly Prayer that we read all thru chapter 17 of John?

Muddling on Thru

I think, talk and write for my own benefit, just like I believe everyone else does. If anyone sounds like they are trying to convince anyone of anything, I do not believe it. Rather, I think they are trying to convince themselves.

What I am saying right now I believe, but with the passage of time I reserve the right to change my mind

See Memory Stones site linked above

anytime. I've changed my mind suddenly and slowly. I've circled around and met my views coming back. 

Once a man, and twice a child which is why I no longer trust the flesh. The flesh is like a flower, it blooms then fades and like a mist eventually then, all too soon, is remembered no more, like a dead man out of mind. As for myself, I am working out my own salvation. 

Most obvvious quote of the day

Only offensive people ever take an offense. It is an obvious sign of weakness to get offended. It means someone has your goat and you do not know where to find it. If I do take an offense I throw them under the bus and roll a compliment back over them, like coals on their head. 😉

Playing poker with God?

This is one of my favorite quotes for those who do not yet believe in God. If anyone does not believe in God then they will just have to be their own God. How would I bluff God is my question, since I just got here sooner than I thought likely to cash it in?

Time further out

Does digital time appear more frozen in sans serifs? Does analog time appear more emotional, looking ahead, in fancy serifs?   

Why is Mother Earth female?  Why is the Father of Lights male? How can time run out, if there is any time at all, since time only exists in a comparative state? Creativity demands every question in the mix. Answers appear secondarily. They only reveal more questions.
