Recorded in Chinese History,
On the Seventh Year of Guangwu
In the Fourth Month---which is exactly at Passover---
It is exactly 31AD. And the sun darkened
According to the historical text.
The text prophesied that one man
Would bear the sins of the entire world,
And pardoning on the whole world would be accomplished.
It is in the actual text.
"The sins of all the people are on one man
"And pardon is proclaimed to all who are under heaven."
"Man from heaven died."

The miraculous thing about this is that
The next Solar Eclipse would be in 33ad.
Therefore, Christ was crucified in 31ad
And Chinese Historians had chronicled
The darkening of the sun on that exact day.
A year which did not have a solar eclipse.
It is actual historical evidence of the darkening
Which happened during the crucifixion.

Found in the history of the later Hans
Record number 18.

It was brought to my attention
That a stupid person was one
Who was misfortunate.
And being unfortunate,
They brought misfortune on others.
I thought long and hard on it---
Only a stupid person would
Create an x/y graph, and link
Fortune with intelligence.

Good Character ought to bring fortune
Whether someone were not intelligent
Or someone were. Yet, it is not always the case.
For some people, with exceptionally bad character,
Bring fortune to themselves and all around them.
There are some with exceptionally good character
Like Jesus, who being gifted with God's intelligence
Are extremely unfortunate.

Is it intelligence which brings fortune?
Not always... men with iqs of 200 are extremely
Unfortunate, and do nothing with their lives
Beside farm---though they are very wise
For what else is there? They are unfortunate
In the sense that they are not household names
They are not great innovators solving problems.
They are unfortunate.

Really, there is no causal link between
Good Character, Fortune and Intelligence.
Each is a positive attribute to have
As desirable as the next.
To have good fortune is highly prize.
Intelligence is highly prized.
Character is highly prized.

In free societies, good character ought to bring good fortune.
This is true. There ought to be that causal link
And where good character cannot bring fortune---
And rather brings misfortune---that society is called corrupt.
Where bad character brings fortune
And not misfortune that society is corrupt.

Really, fortune is as much a lot
As a die cast---and depending on what you do with it
Determines your own prowess.
Yet, even prowess is not the same as fortune.
And prowess is not the same as intelligence.

There are many things and diversities.
Fortune, though, is primarily linked
To willpower or luck, depending on whether
A society were benevolent or corrupt.
In that sense, it is linked---but only with good character
And never with intelligence.

An engineer is a poet of sorts,
Precisely ordering her concepts
Through strings of operations.

A poet is an engineer of words
Laying down an idea,
Using his deductive proof
Of conjunctions and copulas,
Of phrases and clauses,
To describe something true about human existence..

Wise men are the ones who like them---
Common folk don't do math in their free time
So also they don't read poetry.

However, for those who are engineers,
And doctors, and lawyers,
And priests, and poets, and professors,
And students of life...
We take enjoyment from the big concepts.
So, those in the STEM field
Don't say a poem s useless---

Look at it like a riddle which needs solved.
An that riddle will reveal deeper things
About the human cosmos swirling around us.
It fills a mind like a cup as sweet
As milk and honey. It fills a mind with meaning.

I pray to God that it is not a curse
To think deeply, and see wisely.
For, if it were, I would remain saddened
By the loss of my mind.
The only thing sweeter than poetry
Is love--- And Poetry teaches me how to love
For it forces me to listen carefully to what other people are saying
And it teaches me the joy of other people's ideas.

Do not say, "Satan is the god of this world."
If I had twenty dollars for every time a pastor said this
I'd be well compensated. For, do pastors know what they say?
Paul had said it first, and being who he is
He must have meant to bring shock to his readers.
The same way I will say things to subvert common wisdom.
But, Satan is not the god of this world.
If he is, then he has lordship over you.
Why make him your head? Unless it is to throw you into hell?
Rather, Christ is the God of this world.
Satan is but a prince who suzerains,
And is in rebellion against his dominion.
Do we call the prince a god?
In those states which do, they are worshipping Baalim.
Do you wish to worship a Baalim?
Also, when Paul said, "Satan was the God of this world,"
He also said, "As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.."
Do we then say, "Paul is a Gnostic!"
Paul was not a gnostic, but subverted the expectation if his reader.
Just as I am not an atheist, but use common atheistic wisdom
To subvert my reader. 
Just as Paul says "Satan is the god of this world,"
He does not mean literally, but that Satan is the god the world worships
And not our Creator. 
Cease saying it, lest you make Satan your god, and incur wrath on yourself.

While reading my commentary on Milton
The thought entered into my head---
Creation Science is the thing falsely called.
Which, men professing, have strayed from the faith.

Do we not believe in an omnipotent God?
It was said by one, "Wouldn't God be a liar
"If he created the Earth in six days, but made
"It look like six billion years?" To which, I had no answer.
I still believed in God---yet, I'm not foolish enough
To gamble my life against science. Science seems will win
That bout, unless the Earth is flat, and all science is magic.

God is real because Nietzsche is right;---
By being right, we can plainly observe he is wrong.
Good and Evil are inherent, and easily observed.
Therefore, I say, "God merely died---
"He's as much alive today as any of us living."

II

Yet, now that we have trusted science and not God
Had not science become something of a god?
Need men a deity as cruel and ruthless?
One which gives no justice, save man's faulty laws?
One which confuses man from wo, and causes sodomy
To be praised higher than conception?
Science which calls human life a sin?
Science which says of a baby, "It should die
"If it will suffer long in this life."

There is nothing worse than the dual edged sword.
At first, science claimed, "There is not a god,"
To which, science then ceased to be science.
It claimed, "A man is a woman if he so believes."
Why? If I believe I can fly, and throw myself off a cliff
Will I not fall like any other man? If I walk on water
Will I not sink? To answer this question,
One stops believing in science, and starts believing in magic.
One starts believing in faith. My remark to one who crosses
The bridge from natural to supernatural is,
"Will science then moot itself in the future
"And bring us back to a pitiful dark age?"

Therefore, let the damned fly and walk on water;---
Let the innocent walk on water and fly to prove their faith.
What difference does it make? If we make all things possible
By means of magic, science no longer means anything.
If I walked on water, and a sinner could walk on water,
Then Jesus' miracle is moot. Is it not?
And science with it. Therefore, let me live by what truly is science
So when a healing comes, I can attest that it was not I,
But Jesus living within me. And man can remain amazed
That the physics which he rightly knows to be Law
Was violated in the name of good. Not evil.

Dear,
Teachers

You may think that children are defiant right now. That their behavior problems are extenuated. In the 1970s and 80s, it wasn't uncommon for teachers and students to smoke cigarettes together in certain designated areas. It wasn't uncommon for lunch periods to serve good food. It wasn't uncommon for the youth to wander the halls during class time, without reproach. There were no cops wandering the schools. Kids never really took classwork seriously---it's true. The workload was less burdensome, and the concepts were easier to understand.

The real issue, is zero tolerance policies and the pressuring force submitted on students. There is constant pressure from the school and parents and social media. Not to mention, the iPhones are extenuating the behavioral problems---there are behavioral problems, I know. I just want to outline that it isn't much different. Save with Covid lockdowns and everything, the schools are getting more oppressive and the students are bursting. Rather, it wasn't uncommon for students to wander hallways, bring drinks into the classroom, use vending machines---etc, etc, etc. As, taking away these stress relievers has created an atmosphere of oppression. Students at 15 are practically on the burgeons of adulthood, and need freedom. They also need discipline.

This is the real problem. As the schools clamped down on our freedoms---in high school---I became more defiant. I'm much like the Gen-Z kids, in that I had a computer all throughout high school, so I'm kind of a progenitor of the Gen-Z. I think, more than likely, they will calm down with age, seek out the education they didn't get in school, search out truths and become more conservative once their bad behavior becomes apparent. As, people need to fail and be knocked down before they can ever know they have to get up.

I agree that they are misbehaving. I agree, to the point that the solution isn't burdening them with more rules. Rather, the students who want an education will stay in the classroom, if teachers showed respect to the students and had command over the discipline, the students would not overreach.

One in authority has to know how to maintain that authority. And they have to do it fairly, and justly. Making kids wear masks in school, telling them to get vaccinated, taking out vending machines and foods that taste good from the cafeteria, zero tolerance on physical altercations between students, policing students when they're out in the hallways, having armed cops in the schools, overbearing homework assignments, a lot of this is the reason schools are losing control over kids. And it has to do with the parents, also, not disciplining them. 

Rather, corporal punishment needs to be accepted again, and parents need to be allowed to discipline their children. And innocuous offenses like not doing homework, walking in the halls, smoking cigarettes, etc. etc. etc., need not be occasions for punishment. Bullying, harassing, flagrant disobedience or disrespecting authority ought to be occasions for a process where the students will be sent to the principle's office---up until about high school, when expulsion or suspension is necessary---and beaten with a ruler. As, this instills in the child a respect for discipline, and it builds in the child a sense of respect and character. Not abusively, as this mandate needs to go through a vetting process and not be used in every case, but the schools need to allow more freedom and allow corporal punishment. Those two things will create safer school environments, and will lighten the burden off teachers. As, students need to feel unconstrained in the school environment, and they also need to be instilled a fear and awe of respect for teachers, that real punishments can be delved out against them if they fail to comply.

Kosher bones, ashes, it's a sacrificial alter.
It is built exactly as Joshua said it was.
It has a ramp, therefore, is not a pagan alter.
It has scarab Beetles, explaining the Egyptian
Tie. Ironically, those same beetles are found throughout
All of Israel. T'was dated 1200BC,
Predating Josiah or Persian restoration;
Actually built at the exact time Joshua lived.
It is built exactly where Joshua said it was.
A tablet was found, made of lead, for permanence,
With three letters of the Tetragrammaton written 
In the proto-Hebrew alphabet. True evidence.
The lead tablet has curses written on it, just like
The Bible says. Joshua said, "Choose this day whom you serve."
For, by passing the mount Hubaal, one chooses the LORD
And leaves sin behind them, at the alter, once for all.
There is also
 Evidence of Jeremiah, and 
Hezekiah having lived in Israel, also.

What does it prove? That Israel was a people. Long
Before Josiah, long before Cyrus the Great, and
It proves Israel has been a people, forgotten
Once, as Hosea said, but now remembered and found.

Man had learned what sin is
When he ate from the Tree of Knowledge.
From that point onward, man was cursed
Because not only could he sin,
He knowingly could now justify his sin.
And with that, man would have no way
To save himself, for he would be corrupt
By way of having knowledge of sin.

So, God repented of making man;
He was sorry for having created us.
Therefore, He gave us a way out
Of our miserable state, that on acceptance
We should be empowered to live a life
Worthy of Him. Through choosing the sprout
Of David, we would have redemption through Christ.

For man, having no choice but to sin---
For sin is compulsory in this world---
Need have a way to be forgiven
And therefore not suffer for his knowingly committing it.
Not only for his knowing it, 
But for his justification of it.

For by biting the fruit,
We now could rationalize our sin
And make it right in our own eyes.
That is the knowledge of judgment.
And that is a sin worthy of eternal damnation
To say, "I have done no wrong,
"But rather, whomever I hurt, I am in the right."

Do not be a Christian, and sin.
Do not come to Jesus, if sin
Is the thing you love above all.
Get your short life, and fill it good;
Suffer eternity in hell.

For if you will say you are a Christian
And choose to keep on sinning, you shall heap
Up evil upon yourself, and also 
Those you love. For you shall say, "Come this way!"
But it is a slippery slope, which will
Break you. And it will kill those you do love.
For they shall be led by you, believing
They have good from heaven, yet in their sins
Remain they dead to heavenly abodes.

Rather, heap up for yourselves heavenly 
Treasure, by living righteously and true.
Even if you are an offence to your
Brother, at least you live with blessings true.
You show them the path, and, yes, it is hard.
You wrestle with God like Jacob, to wounds
Yet, you cling even though your hip is touched
And you are wounded, broken, bruised--- you cling.
And those who are undaunted by your life
Will follow in your footsteps, those behind Christ's.
