On the Bible

The Bible stories aren't made up. But a prudent man conceals knowledge. You can actually hurt someone's faith by telling them the Bible is literal. Plenty of sound teachers taught the stories were emblematic, as it's the Law of God which prevails and converts the heart.

The issue is we have to engage with a generation that cannot believe in anything beside evolution, unless thunderstruck by God with the truth. We have to increase the scope of God, and decrease the scope of the Bible. Because the Bible's moral law is true, and imperative for human flourishing and survival. And also it's imperative for salvation. We're not reaching people right now, and we must, or all is lost.

On Ms. Rachel

I don't know what to think about this. She seems like a very nice person... I mean, I probably feel the same way about [homosexuals]. I don't go around hating Gays or Trans people. I think LGBTQ is really messed up, and turning the world into a living nightmare---that's how we need to reach people, is that it's so obvious. But, we're never going to fix the brokenness of the world. It's just the way it is, and every generation is going to get worse and worse. That's been the progress for 6,000 years, until God moves, and resets it back into alignment. Which the next time that happens will be the tribulation.

I'd be careful judging her, to be honest. I think we need to be diligent to point out sin, because it is dangerous, but we shouldn't hate people. We need to rebuke out of love, and fear of God. Not out of a hatred for the people. As it's very dangerous, the LGBTQ. It's extremely dangerous. And we're only starting to see why. But personally, I thank God it is, because it's helped bring so many true converts to the faith, when you point out that this stuff is wrong, it no longer can be hidden or made excuse.

The World’s Romance

The world's romance are paramours
And love affaires---men's dispassion
And women making love with one
Who is not their husband.
It is the opposite of Odysseus's wife
Where the two, parted, make each their consorts
And loves luxuriously without one another.
My broken heart cannot bear it. 
Parted, no one loves or swells with joy
To see another, but rather stale misery
They meet their wives, and
"Misery me misery, I am not in love!"
Separately they live, and hollow was their marriage.
There is no friendship, no love in the bones
But cruel sex for childrearing
And the fruit of adultery's sting for joy.
I am not built for this world
But another it seems.
For all counsel me that this is how it must be.

A Forgotten Memory

In Byron's collection, marks a folded leaf
With the tally of a game I once played.
Whomever the people were, I know not
Only their first initials. The game, even
I know not, for there could be a couple
Which the scores would represent.
Was it Dad and Victoria? 
Was it Dad and Valerie? 
What even was the game?
Were it even someone I now know;
Maybe a forgotten person from my past
I met once, and never would meet again.
No game comes to mind, it is completely blank.
Eerie is this feeling, that some part of my life
Vanished, and how much of my life is documented
And I know not who, or what, or when, or how?

The New World Order

It’s hard to say [if it's real]. On one hand, Satan will have control over the whole world for one hour. And ten kings will reign with him. But on the other, I don’t think it’s something we as Christians should be worried about too much.

The issue is what is the New World Order? And that’s an order of Global Elites trying to usher in a paradise for the rich. Okay? They think people are dumb, and need to be wiped out… or so the mythology goes.

The truth is a little more complex than that. I personally think the “New World Order” is just the collective will and milieu moving in a bad direction. Like, there’s definitely an observable evil in the world, moving it toward dictatorship, and trying to destroy Israel and Christianity. Is it, per say, a Cabal of evil world leaders? I mean… in the sense that their ill will brings on the effects. It’s not true that they have any power that God didn’t give them. And I personally think, whatever’s happening, would be fixed if people had moral certitude.

It’s not about a bunch of seedy geniuses calculating the world’s downfall, and the extinction of man. It’s the collective evil of a bunch of people, from top to bottom, catalyzing that extinction. We’re not really doing things the right way.

Some examples, are we believe there’s no objective ethics. Such a stupid concept that there aren’t objective ethics—of course there are. It’s not a matter of “Are there objective truths or a science to morality” because there is definitely that. It’s that the science is something different than we want it to be. And that’s leading to the problems we’re seeing

God’s law is inherent, it’s inerrant, it’s established in our hearts, and in our minds, and it’s the law that would establish a perfect peace. It’s also so strict, that it puts every human being under condemnation for death. So, that’s why Christ came, was to free us from the yoke of the law, and yoke ourselves to Him, and be free to have charity, kindness, and peace in our hearts, rather than conform to outward laws, that we’re obligated to follow; so the Gospel is that we’re to simply do good because we have peace, and that’s our natural state.

So… if you have God’s peace, no New World Order can touch you. The Bible says it will hail in one place, but the slaughter will come nowhere near the people who sigh for the iniquity of Israel. If you sigh for the sin of the world, and you don’t accept it—and you have to sigh, you have to preach boldly against sin—it won’t come near you. You’ll have the mark of the inkhorn on your head, and the slaughtering implement won’t come near you. The hailstones won’t wash you away. The New World Order—Satan’s authority—won’t even be seen by you, and if it is, you’ll be raptured out of the world in that instant.

So… to conclude… the New World Order, the Mark of the Beast, the Tribulation, is not something we should fear. Yes, Satan will establish a kingdom on the Earth for one hour. But, that’s all. And if you are righteous, and fully trusting on the LORD’s mercy, you will be spared from that temptation, and will never see it. The LORD will hide you under the pinions of His wings.

The LORD rebuke you Satan.

The Sabbath

That's such a stupid argument. "It's right above the verse that has mixed fabric." Jesus says, "Whatsoever goes into the mouth, goes into the stomach and is destroyed." And "The Gospel is not clothes or food or drink or respect to Sabbath and Feast Day." But, the moral law still stands, and Homosexuality--unlike wearing mixed fabric--has a sentence attached to it which is death. Christ can still forgive you, but only if you choose Him. If you reject His statutes, and do not love them with your whole heart---Psalm 119---you cannot be saved. Remember Christ is the Eternal Sabbath, and we are drawn to Him by His grace. There is no other path to salvation. So if we reject His law, we can have no part of Him.

The Tongue

You backward little thing---
I hear a curse from all people
Even myself. You backward little thing.
Let my tongue be a blessing
And feed the multitudes.
Let it hide sin, and not be a talebearer.
Let the tongue not spread slander
Or utter witchcraft and cause 
The balance to break.
Let not the tongue utter judgment
Either false or true, nor bring an enemy
To court, save recompense is truly needed.
Let not the tongue say, "I want more
"For my desire, therefore, I will take this thing
"My neighbor did many moons anon
"And get compensation for it,
"When I cheerfully opened my doors to him."
Let not the tongue utter foul speech
And lustful sayings, and ugly thoughts.
Let not the tongue be simple and perverse
But like the honeymead aged, and fine
And brandish the liquor of joy.
Let the tongue encourage in work
And not look for every idle fault.
Let the tongue spring forth judgment
Against the wicked nation that does evil
Not to bring the fires upon it or rebellion
But to cause it to seek shelter and rest.

Tetractys

Life is  Tetractys, where we begin atop
Bright light, and reigning with the LORD.
And whether to the left or right we move
Darkness to the left, and to the right is the Word.
In-between is grey and to the left is dark
As we move across the tetractys toward darkness or the light.

So also God's holy angels are ordered in the way.
Dark begins two thirds from the top
And moves across the left in shame.
Then the gradient of gray moves toward the light
And where we end is true...
Either purest white or purest dark
Therefore, choose Christ and on that narrow path be shrewd.

While in Heaven

While in heaven,
I saw a bright olive green.
I heard God's voice,
And He told me things of Peace.

Though the world be a Tetractys
In ten dimensions of space and time
Three for past, Three for Present, Three for Future
And one time linking all;
The LORD's mercy still prevails over all.

For one soul we have, wherever we go
And one soul we ever seen,
All in our conscious body
We live one life it seems.

And that life is different, for every man and wo
And time and space gets rendded
By God's eternal flow.

The wounded wasp goes in my couch cushions
And when I sit upon I see
The wasp across the floor still lives
So I kill it without glee.
No, it had not stung me,
But providence's hand
Had moved the danger out among me
So I could fatal a blow do land.

The Bible's word and page
It opens right to see
That what I need if in time
I find it there plainly.
Once a word is spoken,
Once for all good time--
I speak the word of blessing
And in those pages find
Word for the present hour
And then it seems its gone.
God's miracle is living
Not a dead wood pulp and stone.

So also I hear of wars
And rumors of the same;
I hear of that king Antichrist
But far removed is his fame.
I sit and ponder with a globe to my right
And heaven's gemstones to my left
In lantern shell and china saucer
While I pray for a merciful wife to bless.

I know what is and what is not
I know not to worry about the past
All things move in their eternal order
And what's first shall be the last.
