Good. Dialogue about things of the Lord Jesus Christ and of His
Father, Jahweh, is pure delight. As you know, and as I know, the
world of Jesus Christ from the outside looking in seems intimidating, and something that those participating in probably are imagining in the first place. So when we discuss your questions, it takes it out of
a closed club, so to speak, and back on the streets where it belongs. So thank you. I am hoping one of the brothers will open a thread just for these discussions, or maybe we could just move to a thread and
discuss, discuss amongst ourselves, who knows.
As in spookey, I mean all those strange group activities involving always near-darkness, appropriate music, waiting for someone's mouth to open and begin to speak the words of some dead person who supposedly is using their mouth at the moment to tell us something that will lead us to "god", ho-ho-ho.....
Anyway, my e-mail will explain. Jesus Christ, on the other hand, is
so different it is just so a child or a very slow person can have it all, as well as the richest and most intelligent. It is reduced to the most
basic simplicity imaginable: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you WILL be saved (from utter darkness and worse after you get out of here).
Anyway, the occult world is very spooky, and that is what it thrives on...that mysterious, almost naughty feeling that something....
something....something....is going to happen.....if we just stay here
long enough and act like insane people and make weird noises, and
wait for dead people to show up in some way, or, of course, fol the purest of intent, for Jesus Himself to walk right into the room, shiny
like caspar the ghost would look, and commend us on our efforts and tell us to press on. I am not making light of this. Sadly, the vast majority of the American intelligencia are spending fortunes for con artist to take them to the cleaners, when in fact they are
agents of the adversary who are in fact making vast and awesome fortunes taking people to hell. It is utterly amazing to comprehend it.
Angels. O.K. The angel thing does cause me concern. The angels in the Bible were all men, and apparently breathtaking in their perfection, as at Sodom and Gohmorrah, although other places it appears to me they appeared just as a man. And often the Angel is address by the same word later used for Jesus, the second "Lord" (as there are two Lord's in the Strongs). Do the research yourself, and you will find you have not tumbled down a dark rabbit hole, but instead have somehow blooped upward through an invisible door into a realm above, by simply taking the first step to find out. I did anyway.
I believe with all my heart Jesus came to the little Adventist girl, and she knew it was Jesus. I would never doubt that. But first of all, how many people believe her?
You now have a world of people rejecting Jesus Christ and the Heavenly Father of Jesus Christ, and that whole concept which is based on the Judeo-based history of what He is and How He does things, as through the Old Testament. YET, they are running around looking and waiting for HIS angels to come do nice things for them. Hummmmmm, I wonder who they are really getting, if they are getting anything. Could it be....... well, I don't know. Use your imagination
there. If I was the devil I would wait for a fool who rejected my worst enemy to begin in desperation to cry out in their sin and need for an angel's help, and I would then snap my fingers and dispatch a demon to pretend to be one, and even flutter the curtains or something.
Especially the angels who are portrayed as mischiefous little children bother me. That just is totally unscriptural and as I remember is out of the Zeus and Hera realm, which of course is now the Horned God and his lady. The names change constantly, the players never do.
I pray specifically to angels on a regular basis. I have one I call "the Dog angel". I believe he is a ministering spirit that I can count on to help animals in situations I can't do anything about. But, now let's just say this would happen, say this angel I believe in, and he may or may not be there, who knows, would want to appear to me and all of a sudden there I am, and here is an angel, and of course it would be the very worst thing in the world that could ever happen to me, because it would make me look all the more mad to people who most certainly would never believe me, and how could I ever shut up about it? I believe such an experience could utterly destroy me in the long run. Therefore, I believe that is why we haven't heard much about the brethren having visits from men they knew to be angels sent from God who delivered them specific messages as in the old
testament. Sure never happened in the new, and if ANYONE would get a visit from an angel in person, it would have been the Lord sending an angel to his dearest friend to comfort him in his great need. I just have to let it go as not going to happen.
An aside to show how far gone I really am, and now there is no turning back, I assure you, I have begged the Lord to assign, or upgrade, my most efficient Dog Angel to look over the Dirty Dozen, a motorcycle club in Arizona whose members are astoundingly interesting, loveable and mostly are, as they say, "Mormon's gone bad." But they have a dark side, and probably it is very, very dark, I'm sure. So it is funny, but it's not. I told one member that I had assigned my Dog Angel to look after them, and he looked pleased. I told another that I would pray them all, kicking and screaming, into the kingdom of heaven, and he beamed. So go figure.
What will really happen is some of them will spend the rest of their lives in Florence prison and others will die in wrecks and arguments, or of the ravages of methamphetamine to keep them going like they do. But some will be saved, I'm sure. Why do I bring this up?
Because there are people we all write off as hopeless, and strangely enough they aren't. Many of the people we have all read about and heard mentioned many times were all excessive sinners.
But my belief in angels is quite there, indeed. I pray angels over people and believe the angels then go to work in that person's life. I had one, so I know. Ah, but here the key is that the angels are strictly creations of God the Father in Heaven and work only for Him,
to bring humans to Jesus Christ, to begin to accept Him, so that they will go on to hang out with God forever when this body stops, as it will. It will stop. That we know, right. From earliest childhood, that is something we do know. We stop at this point and what next? Well, something, I can assure you that.
The fact that you get choked up over TBA just means that I don't know what TBA is, you do, and you see something there that reminds you of God in some way. I hope that's it anyway, and it is not merely serving its purpose to intrigue people into studying American witchcraft, now available in every library, bookstore, and soon to come to your supermarket next to the Enquirer, where it will be so hard to resist millions will just pick up a copy and take it home. I'm not kidding, either.
Where we rail against the Islaamic nations, at this point anyway, they are still human enough that such persons creating the magazines and distributing them would promply be taken to the public block and executed, probably. Likewise those who would pander pornography in every form to the eyes of their women and children, as we do here in Humanistic American (Christian America is a mis-nomer. It was from about l600 to l950) Here we will all just look at the plethora of occult or pornographic materials available, and go "tsk tsk, what is the world coming to?" Answer: a living hell ruled once again by Satan himself, as it was for the 3 millenia before Christ.
Anyway, does any of this make sense to you, as I do cut corners a lot, and you cannot imagine how tedious and boring this would be if it was any longer, could you, and all those excuses.
And should these discussions take place here, or be moved where we are free to look at this, evolution, you name it as long as it is going somewhere toward the truth of the matter.
While we can still do the two-sided thing. |
