...to the scholarly significance of "I am"
Interesting reading my first I am commentary but it was somewhat dull and circular. Never figured out where it was going, so finally set it aside. It will take a lot of digging to discover what so many words mount up to in the conclusion, when one can get there. The silence, in my ears anyway, was deafening. So I am parking it for now. I have a more intriguing issue looming.
In Exodus 3 Moses, who is our authority in this matter, asked God who shall he say sent him?
God answered I am who I am and later in Chapter 15 said, This is my name forever, and this is My memorial-name to all generations.
I have been reviewing what the scholars say about this and will consider their general outlook and questions of validity. After my revelation, in time I recognized instantly I am who I am meant Existence. Therein lies the core reason for these blog entries.
"And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever: that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you, and will be with you.
"I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you." John 14:16-18
Probably a well worn idea, but it occurs to me I could place my favorite verses on file cards. This would group my healing verses together. One never can tell when I might need to access them quickly.
In Manna today I recount my second epiphany accepting the direction that saved me from drowning. I accepted it as one not thinking, but rather more like one watching a movie. I am hard pressed now to avoid the conclusion I had not yet learned to think. Even now I can wonder. After all, reverie is not exactly deep thinking. Much , if not all, of what I am doing here is trying to figure things out.

Questions of existence
Seems those somewhat pompous souls whose doubt, of whether Jesus ever existed or not, have gradually grown quiet in the choir in recent times.
We know they themselves existed via hearsay, and likely will continue to exist. But I am doubtful myself whether they will know their spirits will continue to exist, albeit outside knowledge of existence, since God is the fountainhead of all existence.
There is an innate belief that words should be free. Whereas other means of exchange, like labor and risk, should be taxed. This means of exchange is money which is a commodity like all other commodities, enhanced by scarcity.

Poverty and misunderstandings are the result then of failure to understand money as an easily exchangeable commodity.
Money could be in the form of gold or potatoes, as it has been, as well as gold. Trouble with words is that not everyone knows the words everyone else uses. However, in the unseen, words would very likely be superseded as symbols by precognitive experience instantly understood as it is exchanged.
It appears to me, as a consequence of all this, that words further force one to employ faith in decision making and all exchanges of ideas about belief via words. I expect therefore, that God is at the root of this particular importance regarding faith since it is recognized that he is only pleased by faith.
Is God a story?
If everything is founded on faith, and proof only achieved to each individual's satisfaction, then I choose my personal decision completely convinced and willing to live or die according to the truth within it as well as outside myself.
We all experience
our Silent Epiphanies
All questions and answers regarding faith or proof were placed there by the Father of Existence. Ideas such as God, right and wrong, presented for our decision to accept or over ride. The Holy Spirit says that God says in the Old Testament, "choose life".

| Life is not a game of chance the way God plays it. |
Right or wrong, proof makes faith useless, there is no decision made. Right or wrong, faith makes proof a pointless game of satisfaction and faith dominates. After all, God hung the world on faith.
Our spirit controls our mind.
If it is true proof weakens or eliminates faith in the present and faith works in eternity, then what can one conclude? It tells me that time is fooling us all.
Time is fooling us all?
How fast is time moving? Where is it going? Where did it come from? Time itself is unseen. Is it a spirit? My conclusion so far is that time by itself exists spiritually, accounting for eternity.
By itself where time only exists in the seen and that only comparatively, that is, compared to something else, both of which are variable in all comparisons to other time parities'.
Pairs of time are all different. Combined, time pairs seem totally meaningless. Just like Ecclesiastics found, everything is meaningless without God, since God is, by definition, the fountainhead of existence.
Too much Knowledge weakens faith
I have to be careful in that with all my reasoning, I might weaken the importance my faith. How lucky, how important is the child-like mind.
How burdensome it is for those rich in too much knowledge. It feeds doubt and the mocking's of the doubting devil. It also makes one aware of questions better answered simply, by faith. .
