Well, Ron, it would be hard for me to tell you that there
is just one being now, and that the body of Jesus has
disappeared into the one that was on the Throne to begin with
because Jesus never told me that, and He's the only one I
listen to.
Obviously when you say "can you say there's only one God in the
universe", you most certainly mean only one true God, as in
God the Father, versus the myriad and unending manifestation
of satan represented as pagan human gods, right? I don't
mean to insult your intelligence, but you could be some
nut who also believes in the Indian Atman, or whatever
it is, and other psychobabble. I assume you are totally
of God the Father, or I'm really losing my ability to
comprehend.
Therefore, all I know to be fact is what John wrote. Because John
wrote of what he saw with his eyes, touched with his hands,
listened to his voice and walked, talked and eat dinner
with for several years, and also saw Him back from the
dead--I find that word obsolete for our purposes since
there is no death--and that's all I believe.
According to John, Jesus did not say that now He was God,
and that was it, and everything had changed. All He told
John and the others was "touch me not, for I am not yet
ascended to my Father. but go to my brethren, and say unto
them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and
TO MY GOD, and your God." (John 20:17)
That's all I know. He now stands at the right Hand of
God the Father, who has always been on the Throne, and
in Heaven will probably get off, or else some of us
will just sit right there with Him.
That's all I know. I also know John wrote that in the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was WITH God, and
WAS God, and all things were made by Him, and the Word
BECAME FLESH, and dwelt amongst us. So naturally we
have to know that Jesus was in on the creation of all
we love. That seems totally clear to me to. But I also
have been baffled by Genesis since the first, and think
that there is a great mystery there we still don't get.
As in Michael warred in heaven. I don't get that, either.
It's just beyond me.
Do I believe Heaven was empty while Jesus Christ lived on
earth, as recorded by Josephus, even? I would have to
be mad to believe that. That God was down here eating
and sleeping, and Heaven was empty.
Then who was Jesus talking to? Why did He say (Matt.19:17)
"Why do you call me good? There is none good but the
Father."
No. The truth is, with me the minute I get out of scripture nothing makes sense. I have to stay dead on every word of the Bible.
Then it is all perfectly clear and I have no questions. The
problem is with me that since I am no longer slammed
24 hours a day with the paralyzing beauty of the presence
of God, and the Move of God moved on, I can't afford to get away from the scripture.
I honestly believe it is the only thing I will have to
get me through. Not now, but down the road.
Is that at all the answer to the question you were asking?
I still don't think I understand what you mean by creation,
and I now have a nice new printer so I can print stuff
off and make better sense of it. Much of what is posted
here is well worth printing to keep, and other to study
so we can see what the person really is saying. |
