| Books |
The previous subject Correlations may be revisited. However, although I think it is very
interesting and I am up to the challenge, I think it is a bit too complex for this website; I just
don't have the time to devote to it like I should.
The word today is
BOOK
Once again from the Christian perspective and probably from all book lovers.
(I am getting tired of religion AND the Christian perspective, though. I may write about
witchcraft next time! However, Christianity, whether believed or not, is a dominant religion
in the world today. Therefore acts against and by its adherents deserves examination.
"And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and
another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of
those things which were written in the books, according to their works. Revelation 20:
11-12.
Okay, we have noticed how several unfortunate incidents seem to have had weird
patterns which may or may not mean anything.
Let us not get crazy about it and go all off too far into some type of enormous
unwarranted conspiracy theory. However, let's review:
President John F. Kennedy was supposedly killed by a man who was in a book depository.
His brother, Robert Kennedy was shot while standing at a lectern, which holds............what
else...............speeches/books?
One of the worst attacks on American soil in recent years occurred while our President
was reading books. To small children.
These are definitely NOT scientific observations because there have been many hideous
crimes that have been committed in this world that have had absolutely NOTHING TO DO
WITH BOOKS!
So pick up your books and READ!
However, I am concerned about how the notion that books are "bad luck" and "out of
date" and "old fashioned" and "not able to convey real information" when it concerns the
Christian perspective. "SO HOW COULD GOD USE BOOKS? THE BIBLE MUST BE
WRONG!" (and only for THAT reason, too!)
Some may ask:
At the end of the world, in the year 24628911007812 (enough numbers?), the heavenly
hosts are going to still be opening up books?
And then you read Revelation 22:19: And if any man take away from the words of the
book of this prophecy......and etc...and etc."
I would like to add "book of Revelation" ( instead the book as in "the Bible") for
UNDERSTANDING of that verse to ensure no one gets the mistaken notion that this is an
attack against Mormonism. I believe the book John is referring to is the book of
Revelations.
I am sensitive to that fact (about the word "book") since I also have family members who
are Mormons and know where that quote can lead to comments like "THEY added to the
book!" (And, yes, there are some African Americans in this world who are Mormons!) I am
not defending Mormonism either but we know others interpret the Bible all the time and/or
get new revelations that does not contradict the Bible and it may not specifically be in the
"book" either. Even though men (as they were led by God) decided which books would be
in the specific books! So anti-Mormonism! (Like I said: I am soooooo tired of writing about
religion, though!)
However, to others "taking nothing away from ...book" would mean if the word is "book" is
there and books are to be opened, then it shall remain "book"........books SHALL be
opened! Not video messages, not tape recorders, nothing but books!
Then others may add how video presents a better version of truth. "You can see
everything!"
Then you see the commercials. (smile)
You can't take away from the book and there will be better technology? "Bible wrong!"
Not realizing videos can be easily altered, too! With God all things are possible but most
likely video messages will NOT last 50,000 years! The batteries sure won't last! Not to
mention there will be no VHS players or 8 track tapes! How will God play them; what
device will he play them on, if he CAN'T have books? Like he wants?
Bill Gates will have invented something else!
Yes, can God MAKE them work but He also just use books, too, then, can't He?
No trees for paper? God made the trees!
Others may discount the usefulness of books and the so called limited information books
convey NOT realizing that God and his heavenly host WRITES the books of judgement!
Don't try to judge others from YOUR books and the ones YOU write! You will NOT be
writing the books of judgement! So don't set yourself up as Judge and Jury of books
written on THIS earth and YOUR right to judge others by them!
Others also forget that God's style of judgement has no need of witnesses and character
witnesses! Right: the only witness is you and it will be TOO late for excuses! So I guess
you won't be necessary either! You and I will just there to receive our sentence!
Will you be ready? So those books have really have to be good!
Gosh! The lawyers on this earth would have a screaming fit at THAT prospect! NO
ARGUMENTS!
Oops. No lawyers, either! Gosh. Some folks say there won't be any in heaven, too. (smile)
Furthermore, you can be sure that God's judgement and his books involves some real
MERCY!
One last point is, others also forget that God judges the heart, too!
Thank God for those videos but can you see THAT on video? (Can you tell I am a bit
upset?)
Therefore: God's entire system of justice is different than OUR system of justice in its
BEST form! Not only must one know something about books but about God's sense of
justice to even sense where others may even care about this subject! Maybe.
However, for others, those scriptures about the "archaic" books may mean that those
scriptures are just another reason to NOT ask questions about the Bible (which every
honest person does) but to ridicule the Bible and the faith of some instead.
And that they shall!
"Ha, ha, ha! Books in the years 500000000!?"
I am trying to be nice and objective and consider the views of all religions and viewpoints
but the "ridicule" is where I start to fail.
So, yes, assassinations are important matters that probably should be discussed but
sometimes the story runs a bit deeper than this. Yes, a bit deeper than one death of
one...or two...or three very important people.
However, others may take what they perceive to another's greatest STRENGTH and try to
turn it to an object of ridicule in order to eliminate that strength. It matters not whether
those values or beliefs can be proven to be factual or not. If just the belief is a source of
strength, then there must be a plan to make sure those beliefs are attacked and
invalidated, thus weakening the resolve of its believers, their core beliefs and therefore,
there greatest weapon! Their faith! I should say COLLECTIVE faith because that is the
case in many nations!
Most would think it would be the other way, believing the "false/unproven beliefs" will
destroy a nation but that would not be the case. Religious fervor and other emotions
similar to it, whether of a peaceful or a violent nature, tends to be unpredictable, explosive
and uncontrollable. "Even the devils believe and tremble!" Who can explain or predict that
unseen spirit that works in the hearts of men? No one but God! That spirit has fueled the
passions of many nations and revolutions. Those who would seek power and to become
"God" seek to eliminate that threat of another "God".
Please: Despite what others say about all the threats in the world, I am not blaming any
religion, nation or person, whether Eastern or Western, for the above PATTERNS of acts.
Some would not hesitate to blame specific people. I do not because this is a Christian
perspective. Like many other religions, whether pagan, ancient and/or modern, I was
taught from that perspective to place the blame on a more sinister spiritual presence and
not just "flesh and blood" which maybe just a vessel it uses periodically.
Peace.
But, again, the subject of religion is (yawn).
