Dear Shalom, the words of brother Thomas must go over to Gregor's thread as well.
Must be finally getting somewhere since the last two horrible snits I fell into I ended up praying that even if Jesus was my imagination, believing in Him though He not exist still has brought me more true happiness and peace than all and every pleasure of the world heaped in a little miserable pile.
And interestingly, I have a newer copy of this beloved book you read and was wondering if my present state of simply being dazed and confused as to why there is not more divine interaction in everything I see, well, I just bet that is written well within the book.
It is interesting that almost as soon as writing became available to everyone God raised up John to write a blue print to follow for all. The scriptures are wonderful to read, not always a joy to live and stand up, no matter what.
He was a soldier for two years of bloody war over the cause of Jesus Christ, one of the bloody bashes when the Protestants tried to get away from that horrible and perverted papacy of that time, and not only is he spirit filled, but also literally blood washed.
His prison stint had to be one of the most ungodly of all time, and perhaps he stands out as one of the most incredible brothers of the later centuries.
So many of them. Exciting isn't it. |
