Why Are We So Complicated?

“Behold God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.” ( Job 36:5) They say we can’t compare God, and it’s true, a lot of people compare him with other god’s and well they are one in the same. If we look at each religion standers they all say the same thing. But people compare religion’s and get into war’s because of it if we look back all recent war’s have had something to do with religion’s or ethnic believes. Why can’t people stand being near each other if they consider them self’s different from each other? What’s their problem?

Is God Perfect After All?

It’s incredible how Job left Satan and the Lord with their mouth opened to the fact that he did not curse the Lord after he had lost everything his oxen, his seep even his own son’s. What show’s is that even God can be fooled be Satan, even though Job wasn’t tricked at all by Satan. “In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.” (Job 2:22) When I say the Lord it’s because Satan convinced the Lord to do this act against Job who had done nothing wrong except fear God. “But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. And the lord said unto Satan, behold, all that he hath is in thy power” (Job 2:11-12)

Peace Of Mind

“It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered.”
Aeschylus
“Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.”

Buddha
“David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him." 1 Samuel 16 23 Jealousy can take a person to do very stupid thing, in this case it’s Saul with David he wanted to kill him at the end it leads him to his own death and David becomes king. Jealousy leaves us blind and expects us to fight it but it overpowers us and leaves us to decide our own faith. Are we stupid enough to let it come to this or we able to fight, it all depends on your own state of mind. As well as peace of mind. Isn't that what we are all looking for in our own separate way?

Can You Say I Mean See It Again?

Comparing our readings between Genesis and Exodus I can see clearly that they are getting each time deeper and deeper into details. Genesis is very head on they don’t describe their action, they just throw them at you in Exodus they throw their actions as well as describing then which at a point gets repetitive. "And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them. The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it." Exodus 25 verse 14 to 15 in verse fourteen we get it they don’t have to repeat it in fifteen and I think that’s one of the reasons I understood better Genesis than Exodus even thou I knew Moses story, not this way there’s more to it.

My family is catholic, I was raised being one, but not one time have I read the bible, well apart from religion class that we use to play games, even though this isn’t what I want to get that. I have never been comfortable in my religion, I believe more in spiritualism, and I believe I have to search even deeper. At the same time I am reading the bible for English class I am reading it for myself, for my religions point of view. And all the story’s well chapter’s I don’t know how to call them, I have read so far, I have seen in movie’s in book’s but I am having a different emotion, view, over my religion.

The way the movie’s the books portray them is just wrong they should show the truth about our religion, most of the times they end the story like fairy tales and well the bible isn't quite a fairy tale maybe a brothers Grimm fairy tale yes but not one of Disney's fairy tale because it doesn’t have a "and they lived happily ever after. The End.” Maybe it gives faith about our world, for children to be happy. But I don't know what's worse to never find out the truth about our world and live in a bubble or to find about it when you’re older and the whole world is crushing you.

أنت لا الملح,你不是鹽,ti sol ne,Thou shalt not... Human's Don't Understand

God’s favorite word: Thou shalt not. Its incredible God still hasn’t learned from his mistakes, Adam and Eve? Temptation doesn’t it ring a bell? We had already established that if you say to a human being that something is forbidden or thou shalt not, whichever way they are going to want to do it even more. If we look back at the commandments people do what they are told not to do and don’t do what they are told to do it’s incredible. “Remember the Sabbath day, keep it holy” Exodus 20 verse 8, not a lot of people practice this anymore and if they do they have little tweaks to it “Thou salt not kill. Thou salt not commit adultery. Thou salt not steal” Exodus 20 verse 13 to 15 these are the type of things people do every minute of their life. Why is the forbidden so tempting? I still don’t know.

President's Speech

MACCAIN
Past-“The catalyst for this housing crisis was the Andy and Freddy May that caused the sub-prime lending situation.”
Present:Americans are hurting right now, and they're angry.
Future-“We need to cut the business tax rate in America, we need to encourage business in America.”

OBAMAM
Past- “the failed economic policies of the last eight years, strongly promoted by President Bush and supported by Senator McCain"
Present- “we are experiencing the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression”

Future- “what we haven't yet seen is a rescue package for the middle class. Because the fundamentals of the economy were weak even before this latest crisis.”

Trust Leads To... BIG THINGS

Does God trust us? “And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod’ Exodus 8 verse 17 “And the lord did so” Exodus 8 verse 24 at first God could trust us because things first were easy to do but when thing’s started to get complicated he just trusted us to be messengers. Are we a message to the rest of living creatures? Does he want us as an experiment for him to us as a example of total failure? As It also came up in my mind that we are not dependable that we were created by God to do the easy things so we have always looked for a easy way out of stuff. I don’t know if what I want to say is clear but because God didn’t think Moses and Aaron capable of doing BIG THING'S, we are now unable to do BIG THING'S for ourselves, for our civilization, for our world.

Wait For it

What is God’s intention when he turns’s Moses rod into a serpent? Don’t we use a serpent as a sign of evil? “And Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and it became a serpent” Exodus 7 verse 10 It’s a sign that evil was coming towards the pharaohs way, if we look after this verse it says that the pharaoh’s heart was harden. This isn’t in a literal way but it just says he was too naïve to see what was going to happen and because of this bad things like the water turning into blood happened. I now I have always said this in all my blogs but it’s true mankind is coming to an end because we don’t see where we are going our hearts are too hard to see it, just like the pharaoh. People have come to warn us but we haven’t paid any attention to then, they stay in the back of our mind and we have other priorities like war, money, power, that’s what we are searching for. There’s a big surprise waiting for us.

AbraHUM?

“[1] And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.[2] And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.[3] And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.” Genesis 22 I know people are devoted to their religion take for example the Muslims with their five prayers a day, but I have never heard of a man that would bear to give his child as a sacrifice to God. What kind of man is he if he had work so hard to bare this child, how can he give him up that easily? As he was going to kill him an angel stopped him, but if he not? How could god play with life’s that easily? I know that’s a stupid question he’s Gd but we are his creations should he not take care of us?

Wrapped Up In Name's

After Noah’s Ark everything starts getting so complicated with the name’s that I had to start over about three times. I think that god secretaries, the people who wrote this, got too deep inside the details because they come and show us literally the whole civilization family tree even if we don’t need it. Genesis ten is a very good example it shows us Noah’s whole family tree, I could be there. “[1] Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.[2] The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.[3] And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.[4] And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.” Genesis 10 Believe it or not this goes on about thirty verses more. The first time read, I missed out on the most important details, I got wrapped up in the name listing of the family tree. The second time around I decided to make a diagram of the family tree, it didn’t quite work. Then I ignored the names completely and it was just fine. People sometimes get so wrapped up in none important details they can’t see clearly what the writer wants’ them to see.

Temptation

A dim light surrounds me as I say goodbye, (A)
To everything I knew.(B)
There no reason to cry, (A)
I’m just blue.(B)
I ask myself why?(A)
Temptation just grew,(B)
and I got the forbidden fruit.(C)
It wasn’t astute.(C)

Obese Civilization

Temptation has always got the best of man since the beginning of our creation. “For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.” Genesis 5-6 Eve was offered to be as a god, how could she resist? She was like a little girl that when you tell her not to run with scissors she has to run with scissors to learn not to run with scissors. It’s incredible but that’s how the human brain work’s you have to do the forbidden to learn that you shouldn’t do it. As a civilization we still are eating the forbidden fruit and they are so good that we keep eating, there’s no way to stop, at one point we’re going to be obese and die.

Importance of Being Important

“He was never famous, even at the time, because, as Walker said, Savile took all the credit for the Chrysostom and the five years Bois had spent on the Bois had spent on the translation ‘makes no noyse, because it carries no name’. He wasn’t a particularly good man, nor particularly likable, nor a man of any scale. John Bois Was no William Tyndale, Lancelot Andrews or Henry Savile… wrote on his preface to the King James Bible, ‘ A man may be counted a venturous man, though hee haue made many slips in his life” PG 215 It’s incredible how they say that John Bois may have written in the bible, they talk about his life for one whole chapter and still they say he’s not important. Then what’s the point of writing one chapter about a person that they imply that is not important? Is it to waist space or is it because he is really important after all he was one of the people who wrote the Kings James Bible is he not?

Science VS. Church Who Win's When?


In those times’s the bible was the ultimate power the church ruled the world. People did whatever they needed to do to follow the bibles teachings. “In A sense that almost no one now understands, the words of the bible were the ultimate and encompassing truth itself. That depth of belief in the sufficiency of language is also one of the shaping forces of the King James Bible.” PG 182 Why was the church so powerful then and not now? Was it because science in those times was not as powerful as it is today, if we look at it people now look towards science to lead the way, the generations before us looked at the church for answer’s. “every last echo of meaning would be squeezed from the words of the bible.” Pg 181
As we look back in history the church was the one who built civilization who put it’s “structure” people believed whatever the church said even if they didn’t see it, they were too afraid to know what was really happening, but as our civilization grew, people came bumping into science and found that they could explain a lot of things, the church couldn’t. People started to leave the church behind and start thinking that everything that science tells them to is true.

Spelling

Dealing with student on a high-school level-that is, the second, third, and forth year of high school we must keep in mind that to some degree they are at a difficult psychological stage, generally called adolescence. Students at this level are likely to be confused mentally, to be subject to involuntary distractions and romantic dreaminess. They are basically timid or self-conscious, they lack frankness and are usually very sensitive but hate to admit it. They are motivated either by great ambition, probably out of all proportion to their capabilities, or by extreme laziness caused by the fear of not succeeding or attaining their objectives. Fundamentally they want to be kept busy but they refuse to admit it. They are frequently the victims of earlier poor training, and this makes every effort doubly hard. They are usually willing to work, but they hate to work without obtaining the results they think they should obtain. Their critical faculties are beginning to develop, and they are critical of their instructors and of the materials they are given to learn. They are beginning to feel the pressure of tome; although they seldom say so, they really want to be consulted and given opportunity to direct their own affairs, but they need considerable guidance.
