I read a few lines of your post, and that was enough. Does the Lord God in the book of Genesis even mention sin entering the world before Cain? Ziggy, you have a serious problem with adding to the Bible what is not there.
I'm having a lot of trouble typing right now. So the post I wrote was a kind of overview. I wish I could go into more detail. I see it so clearly in my mind.
One thing I do know, is that, God doesn't give up on us. It's us that give up on him.
I don't have all the answers. Maybe I don't have any at all.
But what I do have is comfort and a feeling of contentment even in the worst of times.
I been going through a few annoyances this week, and I share them.
We are all human and have our ups and downs. Sometimes people feel that they are the only ones going through tough times alone.
I just share my daily life so people know, they are definately not alone in their struggles and temptations.

What's important is where you are at the end of the day.
Have you given up? Are you feeling lost? Is there still hope?

I get frustrated. But I don't give up.
At the end of the day, no matter how messed up it's been, I still feel comforted.
I am never alone. Love sustains me.



My interpretations of how I understand the Bible and the ways God works most likely is very different from other people's interpretations.
We all have been given ears and eyes and a mind for understanding.
But God doesn't always use the same pictures for everyone. Some see it this way and others that way.

But what really matters above all else, is not so much where we have been, but where we headed.
And as long as you have your sight and your focus on what's in front of you,
as time goes by it gets harder and harder to fall backwards.

Never give up. Never give in.
HUGS

thinking, I do that sometimes. :rolleyes:

I was thinking,
If a day is with the Lord is as a thousand years, imagine if every star, every universe, every planet, every moon, took a day.
What is a black hole? How many black holes are there? What is their purpose?
And yet new stars are born every day.
Some say the universe acts like a rubberband. That everything stretches out so far, and then crashes back in on itself.
If you look through a microscope to infinity it looks like looking through a telescope for infinity.

Where does time, and time again, begin?

What is man that thou art mindful of him?

If something birthed everything,
imagine the DNA ...
What is the Higgins Boson aka: the god particle?
Do all living things have DNA?
Life is in the blood.
Why us?
Are we the only ones?
Everything by design is in decay. There is nothing in the universe that does not follow this law. It's like gravity.
Everything weighing down on itself.
The body gets heavy. All cells have a lifespan. As they break down we get older.
I believe the universe and all that's in them is following the same law.
Time is speeding up.
Is it time itself speeding or is it our own movement through time?
Some say the entire universe is heating up.

okay...
is a black hole like a birth canal on the other end?
And when a new star is to be born, the whole universe contracts...contractions.
What happens to that space around those contractions, like the suns and moons and stars that are just on the outskirts of this PUSH.
Like solar winds...
If you are a fast reader, I'm just saying.. I'm a slow thinker. Everything I'm writing should be read in slow motion.
I do a lot of thinking between the sentences (read between the lines lol )
And usually what I type is when I'm really looking for that answer myself.
Kind of like talking to yourself out loud in a forum.

They have a place for people like that.....:rolleyes:

Good question. I just started asking him questions, talking to him. Praying to him. I didn't know who God was. It took years but I just knew he was real. Then one night he revealed himself to me. I think you just have to establish a relationship with him. That is what he wants.

People always ask stuff like "what about the jungle people who have never heard of Jesus?". They don't have to hear about Jesus to find God. If they are seeking God they will find him. He revealed himself to me and I thought Christianity was the least likely of all religions to be true.

This is not a battle of wits. This is a battle of evil vs good. The evil lies and blinds. The good tells truth and opens eyes. Since I fully do not care what you or anyone thinks about me I am willing to show you my testimony. You can believe what I say or not. I don't care. But here is what happened to me: his-sheep-hear-his-voice-my-testimony.37905
So according to the Biblical timeline the Aborigines didn't even know about Yahweh and his son jesus over the last 6000 year's. Think of how many Aboriginal people perished in Australia due to their isolation from the whole world.

I do get disprove the accounts of Jesus resurrection by using the 4 main gospel's? Because they'd be the only thing I could use.

I assume you mean that you can disprove the gospel accounts of the resurection.

If that is what you mean, then you are unaware that historians accept those accounts as accurate.
That Lukes two accounts are regarded as being totally accurate with regard to historical, political and geographic accuracy.

So I would be interested to read your prove that jesus did not rise from the dead.

New testament interpolation disproves the idea of scriptural inerrancy. There are many textual issues with the 4 Gospel accounts, beginning with the addition of the names of the Gospel writers at a far later date, and all Gospel accounts of Jesus return (Resurrection) at the tomb contradicts each other account.

None of which disproves the resurrection accounts.

Do black holes have DNA? Personally I think that the whole universe exists inside the light of the maker.

At 46 seconds, you see that light? Okay, you snip the rays until they are about 20% of the length that they presently are. Then multiply the number of rays by, perhaps, 100. Then you make all the light look the same, removing the inner aura.
Then make the light pure white. Remove all light from the background so that it is pure black. What you are left with is my first memory. I clearly recalling this memory as being my first memory while celebrating my second birthday.
What you have here, I believe, is the unapproachable light that we call, "God." I believe this is when He brought me into existence.
I had never mentioned this memory to another...ever!
I sat in a Christian Adults In Recovery (CAIR) meeting one night during the summer of 1994. The man leading the meeting related an identical experience that he had! I was amazed and then told my story! We went on to plant a church together.
He was a pastor, but to him it was a job title. God used him to help me on my journey, big time. He's one of the reasons I like America. :)

I actually had to correct do'h --> d'oh after it was posted. Because I felt doubtful about the correct spelling of the word (Isn't that interesting) So the emotional experience of doubt has something to do with making an error in my judgement.
