The message you gave on Sunday can help me sum up my thoughts. I thought you did an excellent job of portraying the dichotomy of judgment, an example you gave was about ordering a drink (you may be covering all this later im not sure but this has been what Ive been wrestling with) but what I believe is the question that comes up undoubtedly is then what do we do. You had said something along the lines of knowing others and meeting them where there at; so as in the issue of ordering a drink, knowing if anyone is an alcoholic who may succumb to the pressure of feeling they must now order a beer, however if one has no understanding of others being alcoholics, then to simply order whatever they truly want regardless of others judgments. "I'll have a water" response "wimp, give me a beer" and if that is a legit stone being cast, not being said in a good natured humorous way but with judgment, we then have the next move. Either hear the words and take them personally resulting with us picking up a stone of our own, or be the bigger person and acknowledge the judgment made, and that it has no substance as you are not changing you but you are simply being you. For if they do not accept you as you are they are not showing the love of God. That is then our move, reflect the love of God and pass the judgment with no hate or harsh judgments of our own but look at them with eyes filled with Gods love.
That being said Ill go back to my initial point being the dichotomy, which is leaving many of us searching for answers. In a documentary called Food Inc., the entire film shows how bad corporations and processed food are while how expensive it is to eat healthy "organic" food. They sum it up by saying the poor are forced to eat from the value menu and only the rich can be healthy. The THIRD option that is NEVER mentioned is to GROW your OWN food. Food we grow ourselves produces continually and the cost is minimal in comparison. We do this because we want to be healthy and free, while the list of reasons we don’t do this go on and on yet without a good reason anywhere. Its just like becoming debt free, make a plan (need one? check out mine), quit spending, and do it! I feel people think they are stuck where they may be at and although I do feel they recognize their situation and they are looking for a way to freedom, they dont look further or take the time to come to an alternate solution that will grant them the freedom they desire. Regardless of the decision people may make, I would like to present a biblical explanation of things to come that may be outside the traditional dichotomy we have created between religion and science. Just as processed food has a benefit of being cheap and almost instant, (Satans way, by using science and that only fuels a few major corporations greedy selves) or organic the way of the rich and worthy (the way I believe Christianity and others are viewed by 97% of the population) I am trying to write something that will meet everyone right where there at in life, telling them this is there life that they have been a slave to and plant the seed that Jesus Christ will come and redeem you.
To go further and my view, that may be hard to grasp especially for believers surprisingly, is the end of times. Although we do not now the hour, day, month or year but we do now he will come like a thief in the night. (Ironic as Satan is described as being like a thief in the night who plants weeds in the field) But we also know that BEFORE Christ returns the Anti-christ will come. I believe that it is Satans nature to do the opposite of Christs, so as Christ will return unexpectedly, Satan has been setting up his return for all time! The stage is being set and Satan is about to put on a show for all the world to see, it is this show that I am trying to show the signs that lead down the wrong path and that Jesus Christ is the only way to be free from this world, free from sin, free from death and free to live!
I guess this is the preface to my writings, the last e-mail was kinda the menu and this is the appetizer, thanks for reading the menu, and please let me know what you think of the appetizers before I go any further. Thank you for your responses to my topics, you hit everyone. I would like to tell you what I have formulated, but as this is new to me and important, I want to make sure im doing to right and thorough. Its a huge topic that many jump over but you have excepted many challenges and I would love to get your thoughts on the validity and possible truths Ive come across. Thanks again for your help, I look forward to hearing from you.
My own beliefs are as follows:
1. Aliens: I believe they are a miss-labeled representation of angels called aliens by science. Although I do believe that there is enough evidence to put a case together that there are other beings that have visited us in the past in flying ships, question is then could they be angels? The mayans called these visitors the anunaki.
2.Angels/Demons are the religious parallel to aliens, beings that have visited us in the past, good and bad alike. However, both in a very real and physical sense, operating in various dimensions and frequencies. While we do not hear much of angels/demons in america
3.2012 has fascinated me since I've heard about it and now has been the topic for my research paper. The parallel stories and beliefs of the mayans to the christian beliefs and ideas have blown my mind. The mayans in my opinion are the attempts of Lucifer to make something good in this world by means of science and wisdom. the latter is what is reported about the mayans origins. Ive attached my paper for you to look at which will give an idea of the religious parallels, (mayan tab) you can skip to the mayan beliefs Ive highlighted them.
4. The Anti-Christ: In short I feel Satan being the cherubim standing in front of God took the praise as his own, and felt he could create a better civilization. He tempted Eve (who I believe was his idea to create, thus men are from mars and women are from venus, i have a supported theory on why i believe this to be true ) creating the fall of man, which has very real physical components. i.e. we die now etc. As I stated earlier I believe that satan or lucifer, meaning morning light, has a plan and has set a stage for his "arrival" and December of 2012 looks like a great venue. Although we can not control when the end of the world will come, our day will come and we have no idea when that will be. Yet Satan will reveal himself so that all may claim him to be god before the trumpet sounds and his time is up. I am trying to lift this curtain and show the man behind it before he makes his grand entrance, which is to unite the world under one government etc.
5. Revelation: Reading this book blows me away, I cant wrap my head around it and I dont spend too much time trying because it is a fraction of Gods glory and power coming down to earth to destroy satan. But I find myself questioning elements such as heaven, what is heaven? Thats where we want to be with God right but I have a hard time recalling much about it. If you could guide me in that area Id personally greatly appreciate it. Also your thoughts on Enoch, did he die or come back? The book of Enoch, how do you view it?
Im sorry if these run long, Im trying to make it clear although that may be hard to understand now but I hope it will later. I have with me now the "picture of the puzzle" that I have been discovering all the pieces to and I think they fit very well. Going back to my last msg I feel this may be another dichotomy we see between religion vs science. the organic vs the processed. I do believe there is a balance although each side would need to compromise so near to the core of their own beliefs I do not know either would give. Although, and maybe Im wasting both our time, I believe this may change the view of non believers. Whether the world ends or not one day it will for each of us and for many they have fallin down a rabbit hole, and you may read this as rabbit trail after rabbit trail but I believe I have searched for the end and have come to an understanding of the beginning, both with perhaps a more open mind then most who have explored. Admittedly there is more than I could ever know but Satan can be understood and I feel I get where he's coming from and that allows me to see where he's going.
Like a thief in the night he comes and I have tried to use the light of Jesus to explore Satans path and have studied the weeds and now am documenting my findings on the similarities of the plants and the immense differences that will divide them at the day of harvest.
