How many times has the LORD called you? Nay, just once? No, it's been multitudes of times In multitudes of different ways. He keeps calling you, until you follow him.
Messiah
I don’t say the Bible is inerrant, But our faith in it, like Kierkegaard said, Is more important than the object of The Bible itself. I still believe in it. Because if one read the metaphors, it Is clear that it is the Word of God, and God Breathed. I imagine Jesus telling His story, writing each chapter as His Book, to teach mankind about war and peace About love and hate, about right and wrong. Yet, would it not make sense that the news In Bethlehem reach Herod’s ears after The Prophet and Prophetess declared Him The Son of God and then King of the Jews? "They departed into their own country "Another way." Then they went to Egypt! Jesus was a young boy. It seems for Mary and Joseph to flee To Egypt, after Christ’s own lawful rites Would have to be after He was declared King. And David fighting off the numbers Of many men in battle, the point is That He won great victories, whether horse Or Chariot, or Footman it does not Matter. And perhaps Jehoiakim were A Mandela Effect, like Billy Graham. Or, it could be he was overseen by A regent.
Dear, Peter Boghossian
Dear, Dr. Boghossian Why do you feel the need to proselytize your belief? It seems like you believe that “Faith” is blind obedience to an archaic law. Well, I’ve studied history and it seems like that archaic law is the subconscious of man. Men inherently pattern themselves off of that law, whether we want to believe it or not. So, let’s get back to the fact that you feel it necessary to proselytize. Belief in life after death---in my opinion---seems paramount for human flourishing. Without it, our freedom has been severely diminished in the light of “Science.” Science, which tells us that a flu virus is serious enough to shut down civilization. We must suspend our freedoms in the name of science. You cannot blame that on religion. It is purely science. Second thing, since you are so big on empirical knowledge, what empirical knowledge says that men are half way between? That they can be both genders at once, just by feeling it? That seems more like faith to me, than the faith I ascribe to, which sees a man is clearly a man, and a woman is clearly a woman. Which, leads us to what faith is. Lao Tsu, Plato, and other philosophers had found it. In the Tao Te Tsing, Lao Tsu is speaking of an underlying substrate which exists beyond human perception or human ability to speak. Seeing that different languages speak different words for different concepts, the fact remains that the concept still exists. It, then as Plato would say, is embodied in the concept of Word or Logos. Take that one step further, what we find through Word and Tao is the teachings of Christ Jesus. That His teachings were preeminent, and spoke the most amount of truth. Seeing that I imagine Jesus teaching every word of the Bible, and telling stories of David, Moses, quoting the Law verbatim, what we find in that is still truth. Unfortunately, you’ve looked at two chapters in Genesis, and determined the whole Bible were false. And, certainly, a certain substrate of Christians believe in those chapters. And this is where the problems arise, is that you think of Christians as backward bumpkins believing the world were six thousand years old. Certainly, the great bulk of Christians know evolution is true, and know the Earth is old. It’s not something that makes us shutter, and when I think of God, I think of a being big enough to create the world. For, how many worlds are there? How many worlds has God created? It could be that we are in one world with a universe, and Genesis is talking of the Prime World, the first of God’s creation. Or, it could just be that God created our world---literally---as the book of Genesis describes. It was just like an author writing a book. At different times, the LORD took up the pen, in seven days, and ordered the universe. When game designers create RPGs, they create it in different ways. First are the environments, then the textures, then the animals, and finally the sprites are put in with their dialogues and stories. Why would God create the world any differently? This gets to the problem with your empiricism. Matter is being created with light---which seems to be a blaspheme---and seeing that particle physics are doubting the very universe we live in, the fact remains that we do not live on a two dimensional plane. Rather, it is faith---knowing the objective world, and seeing the invisible planes of creation and the ordering of the universe---that tells us the objective world is real. Because it must be---for if it isn’t, imagine the disorder and chaos that would ensue? And given this fact, imagine if Will were proven to exert power over the universe? How close they are to determining this, and then the entire house of cards fall for Western Empiricism. Yet, Western Empiricism works on the premise of a sound, grounded foundation. It must, therefore, look at ethical forms of technology and ethical forms of knowledge, that certain kinds of technology are dangerous, even blasphemous. And if we look at the world like this, it proves what Christ had already said. That the mountains can move with faith, and the trees. Not that these things are subject to will, but that faith is seeing the truth, the substrata of what is tangible underneath the artifice of words. Faith is more like algebra than it is blind. Algebra is blind, but it is a logical way of looking at the world which is proven through empirical data. Faith is this, only with morals. It is a moral algebra, which when understood to the most difficult aspects of Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics and Chemistry, it proves the ordering of the world, and a moral nature which must govern our ways. It proves itself above all other things, that there are certain things which are unnatural, and therefore unethical. That certain ideas ought not be entertained. Because it creates scientific disasters. And faith understands the moral reasons for this. It attains the ethical foundations of the world, and it proves itself because it creates happier societies. And if we fear death---for fear of death is a vice, which makes men unhappy---it is because men fear the afterlife. It is because they covet this life, and if all men fear losing this life, the fact remains that nobody will ever live it. And in that, unnatural states of technology will have to compensate for this, and create artificial realities and things which are false light. It will confuse the nature of organic reality, and trap people in Hell. For that is what hell is, I’m certain, is a technological prison, a hallucination of the dead body where nothing is real. And it is faith that finds the substance, and cures the paranoid delusions. Seeing the world for what it actually is, discovering the nature behind our artifices, that is what discovers the true reality, and Faith is seeing the moral nature of that reality and knowing the destruction aberrations of that moral nature create. And because of this, we are suffering under the aberration of faith right now, and this is why the world suffers. Or, perhaps why it rejoices while the common man loses the beautiful amenities that kept us happy. For, why does the world rejoice, and I mourn? Like Christ said? Because the world abandons all truth, even the most fundamental like Man and Woman, and they deny the power of Word and abandon even the Scientific Method for the sake of, what is in all reality, Witchcraft. And when science ceases to be science, and it becomes witchcraft, then we will know that it is against Faith, which is the Moral Algebra that if understood, helps man create beneficial patterns of being.
Why You’re Not Good Enough
The world is an unsavory place. It takes good people, and makes them bad. Every ounce of goodness, it must squeeze from you And replace with something foul. It celebrates your outbursts And every narcissistic episode--- Take the shower because it’s comfortable. It’s warm. Write poetry because it helps you understand. Don’t wear make-up. Let your hair be natural--- They’ve proven men like this better anyway. I see your pain--- Let me tell you how I dealt with it. I didn’t. I had no friends. I had no allies. I had no social life. I was excluded from all the social gatherings. And I don’t regret it. I’ve been blessed with an imagination--- I can create the worlds I wish to visit. You can, too. But you’re not good enough because you sin--- I sin. Everyone sins. This world isn’t the best of all possible worlds. We cannot all be Pangloss Thinking the bridge of our nose was built for spectacles. The danger of course is that you think you deserve something more than you get. Without hard work, without an honest effort, you deserve nothing in this life. The world praises you for your talent--- It praises you for your poem. I don’t. I had it twenty times worse than you. It never dawned on my mind that everyone should bow down to me. I was the last picked for every sport My friends tolerated me. If you want a true friend, That much I can understand. Yet, they, too, can betray you in ways you’d never imagine. I wish I had answers for you. I truly do. But, why aren’t you good enough? Sin. Pride. Selfishness. We all have to be cut down before we can truly appreciate the life we’re given. At some point, little girl, You’re going to have to realize you have a good life. And you’re going to have to stop being so bitter. I have a tear in my eye Because I know it’s hard advice to give, And it’s hard advice to take. This world owes you nothing;--- The sooner you learn that, the better off you will be. However, keep making those grades And one day you’ll find that your life will be better. It does get better. Middle School is traumatic for every child--- It’s an awkward part of life Where we’re beginning to recognize the opposite sex, We’re beginning to mature. But know you are so blessed. All of this can be taken away in an instant. Your whole generation needs to know That it is making hell on earth Because it thinks everyone must bend to the whims of fragile egos. Work hard. Keep writing poetry. Look to getting the grade--- We’re not good enough. We just simply aren’t. We’re here because we deserve it And only Christ can bring us out of it. The danger is that you grow bitter. What I’m speaking might seem unkind, But it is the discipline you need. The old teacher’s voice that I used to hate--- That same voice was the one who loved me the most. And it’s never fun or kind. It’s never happy or fresh. It stings like a paddle against our backside But you need to understand This world owes you nothing. And you’re not good enough. Not unless you take the effort to change. We need to grow spiritually, And soberly. We need to recognize that we are low; How many girls did you tease? How many girls did you make feel bad? Had I been in your school, Before I was beautiful, You might have looked down on me--- One thing about me, is I never expected anyone To show me kindness. I instead was the kindness I wanted from others. You’ll find in this life, That what you sow, you reap. And the greatest kindness I can show to you Is to tell you that it does get better. But, it also is true that you have it in your own capabilities To change your reaction to the world around you. You can whine and complain, And launch a Holy Crusade against the world around you--- Love this is advice I need to hear to, we all need it--- Or you can humbly accept your lot in life And allow yourself to move up. Sit down at the low table. Stop associating with superficial friends. My heart burns for you--- I know it’s miserable. Just keep engrossing yourself in your work. Be kind. Work hard. Give what you can. Don’t expect from this world what it isn’t at liberty to give you. It’s a cruel place, and if you decide to fight it It will roll you over--- Your good intentions will one day sneak up and take from you what was truly good. I understand that you need love--- However, you need to be the love you want to see in the world. Allow yourself to mourn. Allow yourself to cry. Allow yourself to feel deep heartache. Don’t shun it. Don’t callous yourself against it, and lash out. Rather, submit yourself to the yoke of innocence. I agree with you that the world is cruel. But, when it is, know Jesus Is there to take that thing we hate And remove it from us. For, what do you want? To remove the cruelty from the world around yourself And become bitter when you can’t? Or remove the cruelty from within, and know at the very least You’ve done all you could to fix yourself?
Hamnet
Hamnet, you are the Young Man. You died. Your father spoke of you in your wild throws Of romance with a young woman. And she, you had blessed wed If not for the reeling throws of time Which because of thy mixed race Thou wert killed for courting her. Thus, grief thieved thy father William Who sung of your lovemaking To immortalize you. You were Romeo.
Jesus Christ Is Come in the Flesh
What this means--- So you can't call me a False Teacher, Collin--- Is that Jehovah God Came, by the Virgin Mary, And conceived the child Christ. Within the very body of Christ Dwelt God---fully God. The Flesh of God, God’s Word becoming flesh, Was Christ fully. Christ was not a cup. His flesh was as much God As the Father of Lights. The very Word of God became flesh And tabernacled among men. God, then, was crucified by Pontius Pilate Died, and was buried, And on the third day he raised from the dead. He then ascended into heaven In the resurrected Body, And there He is seated by the right hand of the Father everlasting, Amen. That Christ still has a body, this is evident; And He will return again to judge the living and the dead. I speak the full manifestation of the Flesh of God in Jesus Christ As is said by John the Apostle, “He who confesses the LORD Jesus Christ is Come in the Flesh “That Spirit come’th from God.”
Lil-Nas Shoes
Christians scream about a shoe with blood in it. While they dance in ecstatic fervor, They babble like lunatics in the presence of non believers, They draw Enneagrams, They ascribe magical powers to essential oils, water and blood, They sing chaunts like that of the Occultist hymns, They play with spiritual powers, like a rebellious teenager does with Axe Cologne and a lighter, They do things with spiritual things that even the most hardened Pagan wouldn’t dare--- What’s my comment on the shoe? Fix the log in your own eye, before you bother about the mote in your brother’s.
The Foolishness of the West
It's a question being seriously asked right now, "Are mathematics invented or discovered?" If this question is seriously being entertained, Then the education system has failed miserably. The fact that Pythagoras had discovered a theorem Which we still use today, and the algebra we use Is proven in all areas, including physics and engineering, Shows that Mathematics are not invented. They are discovered. Even number theory is discovered. Base Ten or Base Twelve or Base Seven May be an example of different languages, yet they will always Come to the same conclusions, no matter what system is employed. Any invented mathematics cannot be called mathematics. This question just proves how ridiculous the current education system has made our kids.
Una, Tho Daughter of Zion
Una, thou daughter of Zion;---
Let I never be unchivalrous and forget thee.
The Lion is killed for you;
The Law is slain for you,
Laid on the body of Asland---
He is killed by false Loyalty
Who rapes thou away.
Duessa, that potion mistress Medea,
Walked beside me, yet let me escape her
When I see hell is in the house of pride.
She rides six of the Heads of the Thirteen
By the Seven Heads of the Nile Dragon,
That Mithgarth Worm Who eats away at our Tree of Life,
Which holds our worldly plane in the air--
It feeds, so let I never forget thy beauty
Lest the Earth fall to the World.
The Okay Gesture
Conspiracy theorists say it’s “666.” Leftists call it “A Symbol of White Power.” Yet, when I see Indians make the hand sign From an entirely removed region of the world, I tend to think it a natural hand sign That probably has some universal significance. Most likely, it’s the most opposite of a threatening posture That the hand can make, so naturally, We are built to do this when we’re trying to communicate That we are intending to appear nonthreatening. Which is a great symbol That the Black Lives Matter movement, Subconsciously, intends to make violent Every tic of peace, in order to Elicit the Racial Ragnarok And 2pocalypse Our Racist belligerents so desperately covet.
