The Time Is Now, The Place Is Here!

Last week Saturday around this time I was sitting at the Holiday Inn Westfield, having a delicious breakfast with new friends I made, Rene Byrd and Cecilia Marquis. It was a prelude of the amazing lessons we we’re about to learn from our hosts Camilita Nuttall and Allan Sealy.
For me personally, it set of a series of events in my life during this whole week.
Some, which I experienced initially as painful but after further examination and careful consideration, were absolutely amazing. (I will elaborate on that another time).
As I said in my previous post, one of the things which was said, which leaped out for me, was to let go, interesting enough,  a few days previously, I wrote on my Facebook that, I have decided to let go and just do a free fall, whatever happens, happens.
And boy oh boy, little did I know how that statement was going to shake my world!  🙂
The other thing which I have been battling with for a long time is, merging my “science mind” with my “believers mind”.
It’s been a long standing internal conflict. Until, last Saturday, the way Allan Sealy, explained certain things from a biblical perspective but based on a scientific evidence, is just amazing.
All through Saturday and the rest of the week, two scriptures, keep coming up in my mind:

Deuteronomy 4:23-25New International Version (NIV)

23 Be careful not to forget the covenant of the Lord your God that he made with you; do not make for yourselves an idol in the form of anything the Lord your God has forbidden. 24 For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

25 After you have had children and grandchildren and have lived in the land a long time—if you then become corrupt and make any kind of idol, doing evil in the eyes of the Lord your God and arousing his anger,

I reckon certain events which have taken place are the Most High way of telling me he’s having none of it. Meaning, He won’t allow me to replace Him with an idol, in my case, a guy, yes you’ve read that correctly. For about 6 months,  this man became my god. I accepted all that came out of his mouth, until last Saturday, he (or rather God) dethroned himself.

Matthew 24:22New International Version (NIV)

22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.

Surely we have noticed that the days appear to be so much shorter. I mean we’re already in July, it seems like Christmas was yesterday right?

I smile thinking about this, I know I am part of God’s chosen people but I haven’t really behaved like one for a very long time and I have suffered the consequences.  I can no longer afford to do that because I have 3 amazing children who are solely depending on me to get it right!

Time to pick up my sword and shield to fight not just for my future but those of my precious, prince and 2 princesses!

Serve god!???W

Serve god?!!

 

Why serve a god who creates the perfect reality for me to dwell in but within that plant a three designed for my destruction

 

Why serve a god who creates two brothers but favours one over the other and expect the unfavoured one to lie down and take it.

 

Why serve a god who has no qualms about committing mass murder by drowning all the people of the earth, just because the people don’t behave they way he wants them to.

 

Why serve a god who destroys cities with fire because the people living in it, people this god has created (so I have been told),choose to love their same gender.

 

Why serve a god, who give people laws, he already know they can’t fulfill and then threathens them with eternal suffering in continues fire.

 

Why serve a god who, send his so called beloved(?!) son to suffer a cruel death for other people who have not kept to his commandments which, he already knew we can not keep.

 

Why serve a god, who allows disgusting  man AND woman to live out their twisted, perverted fantasies on innocent children, creating chaos and madness in their brains,allowing them to live in a perpetual abyss.

 

Why serve a god, who is pro gender discrimination, allowing uneducated, agressive , uncompassionate man to stand on pulpits, claiming they are man of god, oppressing and deceiving, those who are internally destroyed because of life experiences, afflicted beyond measure at the hand of that very same god.

 

You can keep your cruel fantasy god, you’re mythical saviour, I rather read and believe a Christian Andersen fairytale book, a book filled with stories, where the villans get there due , a 1000 fold, then and there not, in about a million years.

Stories filled with knights and other hero’s, stories of bravery most of all stories all with happy endings, stories that give us, the abused, the assaulted, the broken hearted hope.

 

The Bible, Questioning Our Believe System (Part 2)

In Genesis 7, the story of the Ark of Noah is  being told.

Synopsis of the story: God considers that  the people populating the Earth have become too wicked and he(she? will discuss this subject of gender another time) regrets (?)creating them so he decides to drown them all but for a few who where considered good and all of the animals who were considered “clean” by god, 7 pairs and the unclean 2.

Issue number 1: According to the same Bible, god is Omniscient( All knowing) so he knew what would happen isn’t it? and if we consider his omniscient to be a fallacy, he could know that things will go from worse to worse as things were going pear shaped in Genesis already: Adam & Eve being disobedient, their offspring committed the first murder in a serious case of sibling  rivalry, instigated by…oh yeah GOD!!(Genesis 4). Even us as, mere mortals know that by looking at history we can predict the future, so surely a deity could do a 1000 times better.

Issue number 2: Supposedly, their was a representation of all the animals on the earth, on board of the Ark, so….predators were on board with their preys…….What’s that? God made them to be in harmony with each other you say? Okay, I will come back to you on that one, in the meantime, we know that all animals have their own particular  habitat, necessary for their survival…..Come again? Oh god made sure that the conditions on the Ark were suitable for all?? Okay, so you are referring to the fact that god have been giving the attribute of being omnipotent(all powerful) right? For argument seek lets say I agree with you…if god is so omnipotent why did he have to make a flood occur to get rid of the people? I mean come on, he could have just made them to disappear from the earth with a click of his finger, right?

That brings me to issue number 3: Why choose a flood as a means to wipe out an entire population?? That must be one of the most cruel ways for someone to die(i thought god was an all loving god???), secondly, can you imagine the stench of all those death bodies floating around?! Urghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

Issue number 4 Where did all the water go after this all earth covering flood took place?? Yes we know that when it gets hot and water evaporates it forms clouds,subsequently , those clouds get saturated and what is the result…..oh yeah that’s right, RAIN! if I accept the story of the flood, it means that a 1000’s more earth covering floods must have occurred afterwards because the water has nowhere to go!

Issue number 5: After the flood, how did the world get re-populated? It was only Noah and his family who were left,remember?…we know that in-breed causes all type of issues: genetically and physically……..(not to talk less about that in the same bible, that god has put some serious stipulations of who we can and can not have sex with,this is for later discussion too 🙂  )

Issue number 5: Why bother saving the animals considered to be unclean?Why not wipe them out all together with their human counter parts? Why did this deity created unclean animals in the first place? At this point I am shaking my head in confusion.

Come on people, let’s use our brains!
