God's thoughts are higher

God Draws; Prophets Predict

God is not illogical, but to us He can make decisions that to me, to everyone to be truthful about it, make decisions that appear first flush to be fully illogical. 

But eventually God's decisions prove out to be perfection personified by prophets. Still not everyone is convinced of this however. However since God cannot negate Himself things are eventually seen best by all late arrivals to the scene, that is to say, us.

God places things in our particular hearts, those who are later called prophets. That is why it is said the fathers killed the prophets and the sons revered them, that is, the sons did with the benefit of their hind sight.

Then again what happens if they were to anticipate too strongly their hind sight straight into the place of their foresight? 

Next: Rules of my Road

I Will Get What I Believe

Everything was here and operating when I arrived. I didn't know where and I didn't know when. The creator was God, that is why He is who He is. God has laws. God cannot negate Himself. In the terminology of the ancients, God cannot not lie. 

He created and gave man dominion. That is why He only, can judge. I consume until my flesh tabla rosa consumes itself and I leave my shell behind and am born again based on my hope.

God conceives and so He has laws. Based on God's laws I have rules. My first rule is: no one can prove anything, except to their own satisfaction. I call my first rule faith. 

My faith is my hope, which is if I am successful I will get. But regardless of my success, my happiness will be if I want what I get.

Every question that I answer contains more questions than I successfully solved. So that the more knowledge I learn is that I am more ignorant than I originally thought I was. To be constantly edited  and continued...

The Flesh is Ringed by Time

My Spirit Steps Free 

Out of Time

Sometimes the spirit within drives the flesh without before its' time. The flesh must obey its' origin but the spirit is the origin. It is time now for my spirit still within my flesh to watch while my spirit resolves issues with the blind guides of the flesh. Until then.....as the old sad sweet song goes, I don't know where, I don't know when

Truth That Never Can Be Told

Those With an Experience Are Never 

at the mercy of  those with theory 

The Spirit deep within speaks only to each one of us and does not tell us any thing about others, or what they are to think or do. 

We each speak the words we are told by our spirit within, which cannot be held back. By this our witness is revealed. 

Words are powerful. They are the fruit of whatever spirit they describe. A tree is known by its fruit. Words reveal the spirit that drives them. They reveal more bout the speaker than anyone spoken to or about. 

According to Jesus the Christ, words that come out of the mouth can defile a man, not words that go in his ears.

Passed Along

No Matter How or by Whom. 

If She Was Infected - Mothers Passed It Along

I used to have difficulty with original sin, as it is called, primarily because I never clarified my rather simple definition of it objectively enough.

I guess it was the pure simplicity of it. The sin, original sin, is really only the desire for knowledge. That is, engrained as good is it not? 

The actual seeking of knowledge is never ending, and is egged on by the fundamental fact that it is never ending means it then leads on to the final realization of knowledge to the extent only God has.

This then is the sin of the angel who emerged by that desire into the devil. Next is the wanting to be equal with God. then to even replace God eventually arises.

The Least Likely Person

God Forgave & God Forgot 

The honor of whose writing appears the most in all of the Bible has to go to Paul, if I may say so, and I do regularly say so. There are a lot of say so in man y speculations of who wrote the what the New Testament. That John wrote Hebrews (?) was, I think was, as I previously said, a standout for me in the King James version.

For my part however, Paul describes the spirit in a memorable way that cannot be rivaled, highlighting the difference between the spirit vs the flesh thru the lens of time, i.e., eternal vs temporal. This was extremely important to for me to experience and a solid leap forward in my faith. 

But it was odd to learn of a smallish but somewhat populated group on the continent who were convinced Paul was responsible for the inquisition. This they believed since they based it on a short but blunt dismissive comment Paul made of his attitude toward those who were not convinced Jesus was the Messiah.

Talk about blaming God, who cannot negate Himself, about creating evil and suffering! Those views are more into those who prefer to be their own God. All of which strikes me somehow of literally those of a god with a short portfolio.

All Things Seen

Came from the Unseen

It is important for me to realize, to remember, that there  is no time in the spirit, only in the world, the seen world. In the unseen spirit world it is the present.

We are not doomed to rot in a grave. It is only in the seen world there is time where the devil meddles his fingers on the scales. 

Time No More

It is a perception event that fools us every time. Time is sad no matter how good it was only because it is seen as a reflection in water. 

Debating whether God created the world four thousand years ago or fourteen billion years ago takes only the seen world, but not the unseen. 

The seen world is temporary and the unseen is eternal. It was Paul who pointed this out more than once in his letters.

But it was the devil, clever as he is, who lured Christians into a beginning of the world debate where the unseen spirit of heaven was not included.  Working.....

Thru the window darkly

Revolving With the Uninvolved

The only place that really attracts the spiritual forces of destruction and consumption, I am convinced, are churches, pure and simple.

It certainly is not barrooms where they are busy sleeping while awake. This I eventually found from my pompous college atheist years where I majored in drinking beer.

In the spiritual warfare against churches, for the devil it is all right for target members who believe in Jesus if they can demonically downgrade His power with church members. 

So if one expects to gain faith in even religious colleges, they instead, one way or the other, can lose it, since the church exhibits little defense against roaring devils like lions devouring church members. 

That at least was my experience and it was a narrow winding road me getting my belief in God back.

For My Benefit

"Confessing Jesus Before Men"

   So that Jesus will Confess Me Before God

Purpose of this blog is to give me the opportunity to fulfill the privilege found in Luke 12:8-9 and Matt: 10:32-33 to confess Jesus before men that Jesus is Lord, so that Jesus will confess me before God. The attendant purpose is to define God as He told Moses He wanted to be called thru all generations I am that I am.

Spiritual Struggling

Fear & Faith at War

Whenever fear slips out I bite my tongue. If I give tongue to fear it means I do not have enough faith, perhaps I should any faith since they cannot live together. 

Paul is again a good model here when he says in a repetition of rib shots to his gut, that he is under pressures but not totally eclipsed by them. 

Then he says further his momentary suffering does not compare to eternity in heaven with Jesus. What I think of in my outlook is that what I am suffering is nothing compared to what Jesus voluntarily suffered, and unto certain death yet.    

Jesus reassures me when He says I am not to worry, He has overcome death, This is where my weakening courage has to kick in. It is either crucify my flesh and build up my faith, because it is the faith that I believe I need to increase in my spiritual struggles. This only pleases Jesus if I am to praise and glorify God.. 

ipso facto

There are no meaningful coincidences or randomness within any design. 

All designs require a designer. 

All designs come first from the unseen 

before they can be seen.

When Belief is Unbelief

Odds of No God not Good

If anyone does not believe in God and they are right then they win zero which apparently will make them happy, even tho happiness is a zero. On the other hand if they are wrong they lose eternity.
