Other Projects
One thing I plan to do in the future is to go through a friend's (Jim Myers) articles to give you some deeper research into particular subject. Jim is the one who woke me up one day by telling me things that closed my mouth and popped open my closed eyes. We sometimes don't disagree but we both know we don't know everything we should, although he's way ahead of me. If you don't learn anything else from me, at least stay where you're safe and only a little bit uncomfortable. Let other people walk around the edges.
Wow! Another Article!
When I was a standard Christian (the definition is a little loose considering all the denominations) I was taught that I should be offended if anyone questioned the particular brand of Christianity with which I was indoctrinated. I could disintegrate anything I didn't agree with. I was not allowed to question my church's theology because that would be questioning God and, trust me, you didn't want to do anything that caused you to question God. This is not to say any particular church is evil. It's just how most Christians are taught.
Various things offended me and I at once went to battle with my innocent Bible and my guilty theology. (I want to point out that most Christianity is not bad. Only bad spiritual leaders are bad as with any religion. As a matter of fact, no religion can be bad if the leaders and people are good. God will lead good people to where they need to be ultimately. That's not for me to say. I wish to be simply a generic relay and to trust that God will do the rest.) It was my job to take on all the demons and idols with my magnificent theology. And, then, one day, I saw something that gave me a revelation. It was a movie about a woman who had a gift of healing other people who, incidentally, did not believe in God. It took me many years to consider this dilemma. I, of course, immediately annihilated it with my biblical knowledge but the movie stayed in my head and revisited me when I finally learned to think clearly.
It is irrelevant here as to whether or not the woman really healed people. I no longer care. What is relevant is the idea that it is possible. A Jewish parable teaches that even an evil man can do a good deed and that in the final judgment God will consider it. I have said that I have seen God lead some down rather unusual paths to reach their Creator. Who am I to say what God can and cannot do? If God chooses to use a woman that isn't the preferred religion to do his miracles, I cannot judge. I believe God can do whatever He wants and that we sometimes do not understand why He does it. Mankind likes to put God in a box to keep an eye on Him to keep their houses in order. It is not acceptable to allow Him to violate our established, unchangeable belief system.
We really know little of God. It is obvious to me that He created the universe in its incredible complexity. It is obvious that I did not cause myself to live and breathe. And if you had been with me all my life for every moment you would agree that a lot of things have happened to me that were beyond doubt caused by Someone. Most of what we believe is faith. A variety of people wrote the sections of the Bible. It's absolutely true that there are passages that contradict other passages. Does that mean the Bible is invalidated and God does not exist? No, that's ridiculous. Sometime I want to get into the workings of the Bible so you can see how ridiculous that thought is.
Some people think, and I'm not kidding, that God wrote the Bible. Well, no. Men who had a relationship with God wrote the Bible. Sometimes their memories weren't perfect but they certainly made their point. Their writing describes how they perceive God and his wishes. Each writing is supposed to teach the children of their father Israel about God and what He wants from mankind. Even Jesus explained that sometimes a circumstance superseded the Law. In the case of this non-Christian, non-Jewish woman we see that at work, assuming that it is true. Think about it this way - If God loved a particular person and wanted to heal him or her, why does it have to be a licensed (saved/qualified) Christian or Jew? If you have a problem with that, you'd better go read the story of the Good Samaritan. Jesus is the one who told it.
I'm not trying to ruffle anyone's feathers. I just want you to understand that God is God and He can do what He wants, however He wants, and through whomever He wants. If we don't like that, we're little spoiled brats in need of discipline.

Why am I Wasting my Time?
Why am I writing these little articles? Do I want to be a preacher? Do I want to write a book to get rich? Do I want to change your religion? No. No. No.
I have watched the world change in my lifetime. Today has turned into a state of confusion. Scientists say there is no God. Professors say there is no God. Even spiritual leaders say there is no God.
People are confused. I wish to explain what is logical to you to help you understand your own beliefs. Many of you have all but given up your belief in the Creator of the universe because of your lack of understanding God. Science can neither prove nor disprove God because all they have to judge Him by is the universe. What are they looking for - fingerprints? I think the complexity of life attests to the fact that God created all things. Quite often I read how they were surprised by this, they don't understand that ... They have to rewrite their thinking because something worked differently than they expected. It happens all the time. Yet they can stand there and say God does not exist? They count the complexity of the universe down to the tiniest thing ... until they find something smaller. Then they say they have to lengthen the age of the universe to fit in their latest discovery. Etc., etc., etc.
I know a person who argues this way. He told me just today that I'm not qualified to understand how he feels about something because I am not in his position anymore. I used to be in his position and I know exactly how I felt about things from his perspective. He said I'm disqualified from understanding his position now because I'm not in it anymore. Are you getting dizzy yet?
This is the sort of dribble I read and see. I gave up watching nature shows because the narrators kept telling me how some animal realized it had a shortcoming in its environment and changed some feature to "adapt" to it. It's not that I can't deal with such gibberish. It's that when you hear something over and over (called conditioning) is starts to sound believable. Many different things condition people to believe a certain way. It's the method most colleges and universities use to indoctrinate young, delicate voters. "There is no longer a need for a God." "Conservatives are all rich and hate African-Americans." "Capitalism only benefits the elite." And on and on.
Almost all large newspapers are socialist now. They condition you to believe they and only they care about you and want to enlighten you to the evils of our land. The Democrat Party is Socialist. They boot out anyone who disagrees with them. When a new news service came along, people were so indoctrinated toward the Left that they were sure Fox News, who was actually telling both sides instead of just one, was extreme Right. Anything on the Right, of course, is bad. Let's see, the Media is socialist in their beliefs and the Democrats at the high level are socialist in their beliefs. I wonder if there is a coincidence that they seem to both be opposed to any ideas the Right has including a Creator. You'd better read your newspapers and watch the Evening news a little more carefully.
The thing that bothers me most about conditioning is how the Media for the most part and the Democrats almost totally are opposed to the concept of a Supernatural Creator. If you really watch carefully and honestly you will begin to see this and I will not be there to constantly condition your thoughts. It's just true.
God created all that is however He did it. The universe didn't just suddenly appear without a reason. The funny thing is that scientists who push the Big Bang theory have no idea what caused the Big Bang and they have no idea what happened just before the Big Bang. Yet, somehow, they are absolutely certain that no Creator (generic or not) caused it. They suffer from the same problem as the poorly educated know-nothings they are drenching with their fallacy.
I do not belong to a particular religion. I know what religious theories I lean toward and they are well thought out. Someone created all we know and have yet to discover. This Creator gave us life. He did it deliberately. If He can do this, He can know my name and He can love me. We have a book called the Bible by Christians and the Tanakh by the Jews. The Tanakh does not include some of the material of the Bible. The writings in these two books teach that God loves us and we are to pass it on. If we receive something, we are supposed to pass it on to those who need help. The conditioning has taught America, and by their example the rest of the planet, that we don't need God, that we should care only about those we choose to, and that everything we can get our hands on is ours. This is the opposite of what God set up. The Golden Rule lives in all well-developed religions - Love your neighbor as yourself. And who is your neighbor? Everyone.
This is why I waste my time. There is the story of (let's say) an owl who was passing by a little bird who had heard the sky was falling. The owl asked if the little bird thought he could stop the sky from falling by sticking his feet up in the air. The little bird said: One must do what one can. And that is my mission. If I change a life and that person changes a life, and if it goes on and on, the world can change. A Jewish belief is that you should live your life this way: Half of the world is evil and half of the world is good. It is up to you to tilt the scales. Is it feasible? Sure it is if people can stop entertaining themselves long enough to think. How many people have said they don't vote because their vote won't make a difference? Think about it this way. What if every voter that thinks that way went to vote - all the millions of them? The world would be a lot different.
I don't want to try to make people to believe as I do. I just want people to do something with their lives and be grateful to their Creator for the free gift of life. This is the way to happiness. If you just understood God the way I do (no theology here), your life would change. It would become meaningful. There are a lot of things in my life I am not happy with. Do I dwell on them? No. I am always happy because I have meaning in my life and nothing can stop that. I owe my life to my Creator who loves me and I've got my feet in the air trying to turn our sad little world around. I just need some help. When I stand before Him I may be regretful for not putting my best effort into it, but I will be able to say I tried to tilt the scales.

Making Light of Biblical Events
I just watched what a lot of people think is a funny video of two anti-religious whiners making fun of the manna in the desert. Their first problem is that they weren't there. They cannot go back and collect evidence to analyze or say it didn't happen. I have seen articles explaining that it was actually a certain type of plant that grew in that region. To me, however, it certainly could have been a miracle. I can't say because I wasn't there, either. What is a miracle? It is something that needs no natural reason to happen. Sometimes it can be a natural event that wasn't expected. However, the Bible has various types of stories. There are events that happened before the time of Abraham that could have been stories designed to teach the next generation about life, called parables by Jesus, and which he also used. There are events that really happened, mostly in the time of Abraham onward. There are also events that frankly just happened which people considered to be miracles but weren't.
I did not see anything funny about the video. It is nothing but another step in the long ladder away from God into the huge hole of disbelief. Our society has been told how wonderful organized science is for so long that they tend to lean toward its anti-religious doctrine. Organized science preys on the ignorant, that is, those less educated and we-can't-think-for-ourselves types, whether indoctrinated in college or on their TV. People are giving up their belief because they think the scientists are so incredibly smarter with their complicated calculations of the age of the universe and how it began, of which, of course, they have no idea, either.
Science has become very unscientific. It is now a theology and those who question its tenets are frowned upon and sometimes cast out, what the Church calls excommunicated.
The folks who were making fun of the manna were not there. They cannot say it didn't happen yet they are making fun of those who believe it by explaining how illogical it was. Here's a real fact. You can make fun of God, too, and explain how illogical He is and explain how silly it is to believe in God. You can tell me that there is no reason to believe in Him anymore because science has demonstrated that God is unnecessary. Sorry, I look way beyond your findings. You cannot say whether or not there is a God using science. He is not something that can be analyzed. He created the universe and is not subject to its laws (your thinking is subject to its laws, though). The universe began somehow and all the organized scientists can only tell us that for eons nothing happened, then suddenly something did for absolutely no reason. Gee, could this be the part where your excluded God comes in? Was He the reason something happened? And, please, don't start with your where-did-God-come-from nonsense. Solve the Big Bang problem, then get back to me.

Interesting Concept - Agnosticism
I heard an interesting scholar on a talk show the other day. It wasn't that he was an agnostic that surprised me. It was why he was an agnostic. The reason was that there is suffering in the world. Well, quite frankly, the reason for most of the suffering is people. My best friend's brother was in the military in Spain and he said he didn't believe in God. My friend asked him why. He said he saw the most incredibly poor people there and could not believe that God could let this happen.
It's strange to me how people judge God by men's actions. People are people and God is God. God gave gave humans a brain and the ability to make decisions. Some make decisions to be good. Some decide to be bad. I heard a child on a show yesterday who wished all the people in the world would listen to a certain song that would convince us to be good to each other and we would all be happy. Apparently he was not yet familiar with man's inclination toward being like animals.
People act as if they were animals in various ways. Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin wanted to be kings of the jungle. Some people rob banks and kill other people like a pack of coyotes. Our government steals our money right out of our pockets and they set it up so it would be legal. In every culture and organization - yes, even the church - there are animals. It takes a lot of effort to be human. God told mankind to master the earth. To act like animals is not what He meant.
Many people refuse to acknowledge God. No amount of logic or reasoning will change their minds. It's like the presidential debates. About the same percentage of people that are for the candidate think that candidate won. People are not generally open-minded.
When I was younger, people would ask me questions about the Bible and I always had the answer. One day a friend invited me into his office to ask me some questions. Instead of having all the answers that day I started to realize how I had been indoctrinated. He was showing me things with which I was unfamiliar. The culture of the Hebrews and other peoples, the languages, and even how English had changed so much since the King James Bible was new. I guess you could say I was reborn that day. I learned that, as he teaches, when confronted with facts you have to be able to consider them and change your beliefs if necessary. It was a feeling of freedom. I could now ask questions about things and I could even ask questions about the validity of my own beliefs.
We went through a period of knocking down bad theology until one day I realized that I no longer knew whether or not there really was a God. I had torn down my foundation and there was nothing on which to rebuild my life. Fortunately I began to study deeper into things and over a period began to piece facts into a new set of beliefs. There are many things I am still not certain about but I now know why I don't know the answers. The one strong belief I have is that we are here and it is by God himself that it happened. The unverified, confused, so-called scientific explanation lacks substance and gets shakier as time passes.
I think God chooses our paths so that we can make up our own minds and learn about reality. He certainly seems to lead a lot of people on rather strange paths but somehow they get there. I suppose He leads them to places where they can go ahead and knock out some of the obstacles before they arrive at the place where they realize who God is.
A lot of great believers have traveled down the path of agnosticism (not knowing whether or not there is a deity) to become great teachers about the Creator of the universe. My favorite was Malcolm Muggeridge (I hope I spelled that correctly). He had a unique radio show in which he began right away to explain how wonderful the world is and what a wonderful gift from God it was. For years he had tried to prove there was no God until God awakened him.
As I have always said, I don't like to talk to atheists because they already are omniscient. Agnostics, on the other hand, have questions and can discuss things without getting angry. I have a blast talking to some of them and learn some things. I don't learn anything from atheists.
To sum it up, it's all right to be an agnostic. It's just not all right to stay one. Eventually, if you are honest, God will show you the way as he did me and Malcolm. God didn't create a bad world. He didn't tell us to choose to be evil. Everything isn't perfect in this world but if there is a next world, this is how we progress to it. If God had created a perfect world I would be hearing arguments of how we don't need a God for the world to exist and why would we? People would be the same there as they are here. They just wouldn't believe for different reasons.
