Think again
You may want to read first an article on faith.
It was so from the start. God the Creator of all things and the fully in charge one; the sovereign over all of His own creation God does not have a dementia, does He? Before Alzheimer ever was He is.
The no-nonsense God is mine and I’d like to introduce Him to you as such.
Where do we begin?
Of course, He wanted us to eat of the Tree of Knowledge because choices are only possible in the presence of contrasts.
“When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.”
Logically speaking she did not see it before. Why? The tree was not yet desirable until Nechash (a beast of the field, Hebrew word: HAYAH, a created by God animal) spoke with a legible voice, just as Balaam’s ass did in Numbers 22.
The same God who had anointed Nebuchadnezzar (the king of Babylon) for no other purpose but to exile Judah to Babylon had also removed his human mind and gave him a mind of an ox. Then again God gave back the king his mind thus showing him who really was, is and always will be the boss – the Sovereign over all of His creation God.
After the Tree of Knowledge (a tree of contrasts) became desirable Eve ate of it and then her eyes were opened. She felt lonely. She saw that something had happened and her longing for her man started then. Quickly she gave the fruit to Adam. Then, both had realized that they were naked; and for the very first time they felt shame. This new feeling, as strange it was, was what God was after for after all, God said (Genesis 1:26) that they should replenish the earth and to fill the earth with their kind. How could they do that when they had no desire of any kind either for or against?
A choice was possible thanks to the creation of contrasts and exactly this choice, to put it simply God was after.
First were have learned the consequence of something negative. Today, right now, we must learn something good and then the ensuing consequences. Like a bad food that gives you indigestion or can cause food poisoning so can also the consequence of choosing something bad.
Knowledge is only knowledge, quite neutral, but it is the choice—of one or the other—that can be detrimental or be a blessing. If we choose war then peace will be far from us; and the result can be deadly. If we choose peace, then war will be far away from us; the result can be healing, restoration and peace of mind. Choose!
The newly created desire, which first was created in Eve for the tree, was now in both of them. As a continuation of God’s creation, and education, a sexual desire was also created so that they would learn to choose wisely and pass then those new genes to their children. However, the problem was not the eating of the “forbidden” fruit.
They hid themselves, but God who instigated it all knew very well what had happened.
Afterwards God taught them the consequences of the first transgression. What it means and how to handle.
Adam and Eve did not sin, neither fell, they only unwittingly, and ignorantly so, transgressed and had to be taught the difference. With the gift of choice repentance was also provided, but in order to repent they had to learn good and bad and then choose wisely.
In Genesis 4:7 God reasons with Cain teaching him the consequences of a bad behavior and a good behavior; one makes his face to be cast down and the other to be lifted. God’s face is synonymous with His presence, with grace and happiness; for so we read in Numbers 6:24-26. The Lord lifts up His face and His countenance (Paniv, Paneah & Panim, all speak of cheeks, face and presence). However, Cain chose wrong and killed his brother Abel; and then departed from God’s presence, turned his back to God (His presence was in the Eden region, but not everywhere) and went to the land of Not where he found a wife. That woman was not from Adam because the same God who forbids incest (Lev. 20:10-16) changes not.
From the connection between Cain and other peoples came the giants. Also from the connection between Seth and other peoples came the giants, evil and good. The good ones build Salomon’s temple. They knew secrets of levitation and gravity-reversal and were able to perfectly fit together enormously large stone blocks.
God reasons with His children. (In Luke 3:26-38 we see that Adam was called God’s son and logically his sons were called the sons of God. The first Adam was fleshly and the second Adam was spiritual.)
God wants to be chosen. He is love and seeks to share that love with us. The fifth Book of Moses (Deuteronomy 30:19-20) ends with these words: “I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving the LORD your God…”
It is all so simple and yet so complicated for religious imbeciles who are stuck in just the self.
Only in Europe you find people who say, “you are a sect” or you are “false” and from this the Huguenots and Puritans fled to America.
I have always wondered as to why the LORD would have sent me to to the German-speaking nations (to certain extent it’s a mystery), but now I see why.
It is to show them their bondage and to free them; and that’s what I do.
Those who were oppressed, left Europe for America (200 years ago) where they were free to reach God the free way. But the old Continent (Europe) knows nothing of this freedom.
I think that God has compassion on those Europeans that oppress; especially those who seek freedom. I have been really sent and God-appointed for them. As strange as it may sound, I really have no free-will in this regard.
On one hand I hate it, because I face oppression, but on the other hand I concur with God’s will. Looking from their view-point they should be thankful that God still cares so much.
The time is short. Divine judgment is about to fall. Am I the main intercessor for them. And why me? Personally, I’d like all Germans to perish. On the other hand I have more than mercy one them. Go figure. Am I divided?
The German-speaking people (all of them) are a strange breed of people. Very strange. So strange that I have no words for it. Some know it and they also can’t explained it. Gerd (my translator) knows a bit about it and says it, but I still don’t fully get it.
Any comments?
Why are we this way, do you have any clou, supposition or speculation? Is this demon of religion to blame or maybe this centuries-old mindset that are already stored in our genes? Am I the only one with this demon over me? How long do I (my familie tree) have this demon? What knows and says Gerd about it?
Those who grew up in piety or in religious home will have to forsake that old stuff.
The old is like this: God is up there and I only pay Him homage, or a lip service, as if living my own life without God or His help.Then everything come down to some holy ceremony, like mass, processions, throwing flowers on the ground for the priest to walk on just because he holds some religious object.
Kissing the feet of Jesus (crucifix), pious somber faces, religious seriousness without joy.
Instead, Jesus told us to be like children – normal, happy and free. No special incantations or ceremonies, for God looks at the heart and not on the show we make for Him.
If this demon or religion, religiosity and religiousness is not dealt with soon; it will only distract us from the truth and its wonderful knowledge, which makes us all free.
This demon will keep on bothering you, me and everyone else connected with us. There must be a clear cut with the past indoctrinations. That decision must be strong, firm and final. Only then one (you and everyone else) will no longer struggle with faith in God or with the attainment (to the living and the victorious happy life).
O, one more thing. People who are slow learners hinder themselves and also others.
The sooner they themselves deal with this demon and crush him/her with the freedom of the Holy Spirit and joy the sooner they will be released, free and they’ll be jumping for joy.
PS One more advise: during the self-performed deliverance one must mention the names of those who brought one into that religious bondage. Saying no to them, firmly and going for the new light is the way to go.
Amen.
I have realize in my contact with Atheists that they have sought to be free from the demon of religiousness but instead they have decided to blame God instead of the human that causes it. In the conflict however between this religious demon and the atheistic one and their struggle provides grace for the sons of God to grow. These two opposing enemies distract each other. Where sin abound grace abounds all the more. I do have the cruel around me at times at work and have even become angry and felt oppressed yet I repent to the LORD and experience peace even to a certain degree with those other employees immediately. I really sometimes do not understand why I am so surrounded by the cruel and harsh and keep looking for an avenue of escape but do not find one yet. I even get tired of having to deal with the cruel for my heart cannot agree with their ways or assimilate. I have no desire to attack or see anyone punished or defeated yet they see this softness and to them that is weakness which they can try to manipulate for their ambitions. It at times becomes exhausting to deal with these cruel people. I do find softness in some and to them I speak and share but few do I find. I find think the town in which I lived has in the past experienced much violence and even perhaps bloodshed for it is a strange principality tho in recent time I have seen some changes. Most churches here also are Methodist in which tend to be very religious and constraining in my experience.
What helps are these verses. Try to digest them well.
2Samuel 22:25-27
“Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness,
According to my cleanness before His eyes.
26 “With the kind You show Yourself kind,
With the blameless You show Yourself blameless;
27 With the pure You show Yourself pure,
And with the perverted You show Yourself astute.
Thick skin but pure heart. Peacemakers are not softies, they hold their peacemaking ground and that is their strength. Just think in those terms. If someone says a harsh word at you you fire it right back. You are not Jesus suffering or dying for them. Remember that.
I hope that this will get you going.
