A NATIVE AMERICAN VIDEO TRIBUTE

IS GOD A "TRINITY" or an "UNLIMITY" ?




Most Churches have adopted a doctrinal belief in what is called the “TRINITY“.

It may surprise some that the word “Trinity” is at no time actually seen anywhere in the Bible.

I have personally done a word search at Bible Gateway in each version of the Bible available at that site and it continues to show “No Results“.. Yet this belief seems to be so ingrained within the doctrines of most Christian Churches that no one dare question it.

I shall not suggest that God is not a multi-dimensional being… In my way of believing He is an “UNLIMITED-DIMENTIONAL” BEING .. Thus to contain God into only THREE parts is to LIMIT an UNLIMITED GOD.

It is my contention that since God is beyond limits that to affirm a belief that He is only manifest in three parts places God into a box and tries to weigh and measure Him in accordance with that rather than realizing that there is NO BOX THAT COULD EVER CONTAIN ALL THAT IS GOD… Thus I cannot ascribe to a dogma that limits God no matter how popular it might be.

So we can speak intelligently on this difference I have with this commonly accepted doctrine let us first examine the definition of the Trinity (from Wikipedia):
------------------------------------------------------
TRINITY (Source Wikipedia)

Central[1][2] to Christianity, Trinity is the doctrine that God is one being who exists, simultaneously and eternally, as a mutual indwelling of three persons (not to be confused by "person"): the Father, the Son (incarnate as Jesus of Nazareth), and the Holy Spirit. Since the 4th century, in both Eastern Christianity and Western Christianity, this doctrine has been stated as "three persons in one God," all three of whom, as distinct and co-eternal persons, are of one indivisible Divine essence, a simple being. The doctrine also teaches that the Son Himself has two distinct natures, one fully divine and the other fully human, united in a hypostatic union. Supporting the doctrine of the Trinity is known as Trinitarianism. Most divisions of Christianity are Trinitarian, and regard belief in the Trinity as a test of Christian orthodoxy.

Opposing nontrinitarian positions held by some groups include Binitarianism (two deities/persons/aspects), Unitarianism (one deity/person/aspect), the Godhead (Latter Day Saints) (three separate beings, one in purpose) and Modalism (Oneness).
Historically, the post-New Testament[1] doctrine of Trinitarianism is of particular importance. The conflict with Arianism, as well as other competing theological concepts during the fourth century, became the first major doctrinal confrontation in Church history. It had a particularly lasting effect within the Western Roman Empire where the Germanic Arians and Nicene Christians formed a segregated social order.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The verses of the Bible that would appear to support the “Trinity Theory” are quite scant… In fact, I can locate only one single verse which would seem to strongly support it (at first glance) and another which would seem to support a portion of it.. Yet if we examine even these in greater detail and in their original language perhaps we can get a better handle on their real meaning.



1 John 5:7 (KJV)
For there are three that bear record in heaven,
the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost:
and these three are one.

John 10:30 (KJV)
I and my Father are one.


The Original texts of these verses were written in Greek and in translation we often see that a word we think we understand fully actually had a different usage or subtle variance in meaning from one language to another.

Many people are unaware that John was a student of Cabalistic thought and much of his writing comes at things from that angle. Cabalism does not rely on literalism (the most common mistake made by those who never study beyond their own understandings) and so one cannot read anything written by John and assess it properly only through Western (Roman) thought processes.

Most of the doctrinal errors that divide churches are because of the fact that people use their westernized mind to try and understand when really we should be trying to comprehend from the perspective of the author and his (or her) mental positioning.

In the First Verse above (1 John 5:7) there is (to the Western based mind) definitive statements are being made (“there are three”.. “these three are one“) and so we block it in and wrap it up and it’s a done deal… but does this verse REALLY mean to say that there are ONLY THREE or does it qualify what is meant by ONE.

First when it reads “There are three who bear record in heaven” I see nothing to suggest that this is intended to limit God only to these THREE…in fact even a western mind should clearly see that these are but the three “Record Bearers” and is not suggesting that these are the only parts of God in extent.. They are only the parts of God which are in agreement regarding the “record”.

As for the use of “One” in both the first and second verses above the actually original word used is “heis (gr)” and this actually means something different than being “THE SAME EXACT THING” as the western mind wishes to perceive it.

Heis is used of unity in Gal 3:28, "for you are all one in Christ Jesus." In the latter passage, the word one is in grammatical agreement with the word "all," but this does show that heis can also be used for “union”.

Just as when people are married they are considered “ONE” (heis) and yet remain distinct individuals .. So too must we allow the word “One” herein to have it’s proper use meaning “UNION” (or more simply “In conjunction with each other”).

The biggest problem with the traditional “Trinitarian” concept of God is that it attempts to make God less than He is through limiting His deity to ONLY THREE PARTS and we do this because we ourselves are limited to a 3-D world (Thus, we have a tendency to compartmentalize things into groups of only three) But again… GOD IS AN UNLIMITY and any being who could be divided and limited to only a single set of Three certainly could NOT be God.

The following verses allude to an Equality between The Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit and were given as support of the previous two verses in a short thesis on the subject posted in a friends blog .. Yet again I really see no evidence to support that God is limited only to “Three persons” in any of these (in fact, in the second verse used above the Holy Spirit seems absent from the “equality status” and if it stood alone would seem to be more in support of a “two part” rather than “three-part” unity).

Deu 6:4 (KJV)
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

Gen 3:22a (KJV)
And the LORD God said,
Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil:


Heb 1:1-3 (KJV)
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners
spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
{2} Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son,
whom he hath appointed heir of all things,
by whom also he made the worlds;
{3} Who being the brightness of his glory,
and the express image of his person,
and upholding all things by the word of his power,
when he had by himself purged our sins,
sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

1 Cor 8:6 (KJV)
But to us there is but one God, the Father,
>are all things, and we in him;
and one Lord Jesus Christ,
by whom are all things, and we by him.

John 5:17-23 (KJV)
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
{18} Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him,
because he not only had broken the sabbath,
but said also that God was his Father,
making himself equal with God.
{19} Then answered Jesus and said unto them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do:
for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
{20} For the Father loveth the Son,
and showeth him all things that himself doeth:
and he will show him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
{21} For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them;
even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
{22} For the Father judgeth no man,
but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
{23} That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father.
He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

John 14:23-26 (KJV)
Jesus answered and said unto him,
If a man love me, he will keep my words:
and my Father will love him,
and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
{24} He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings:
and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
{25} These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
{26} But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send in my name,
he shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 14:9-21 (KJV)
Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you,
and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?
he that hath seen me hath seen the Father;
and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
{10} Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?
the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself:
but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
{11} Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me:
or else believe me for the very works' sake.
{12} Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also;
and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
{13} And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name,
that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
{14} If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15} If ye love me, keep my commandments.
{16} And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter,
that he may abide with you for ever;
{17} Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive,
because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him:
but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
{18} I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
{19} Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more;
but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
{20} At that day ye shall know
that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
{21} He that hath my commandments,
and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me:
and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father,
and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.



So, is GOD (The ALL-BEING) to be limited by the number THREE???

Humanity may be limited by numbers but by my way of thinking God is greater that the highest of numbers that can be comprehended in the minds of men.

Father, Son and Spirit is/are indeed part of the ONE GOD but I can find nothing that would suggest that these three are the ONLY parts which make up the INFINATE GOD IN WHICH I BELIEVE,, MY GOD IS AN “UNLIMI-ty”!

Should Anyone Exclude "Sinners" as Friends?




In reading through some popular religious "myspace" Blogs I came across the following entry (all names have been excluded to avoid embarrassment and all spelling and grammar remains as printed):

Should our friends list please our Father?
Current mood: confused
Category: Religion and Philosophy
I get alot of request on a daily basis.I don't want to ome off as up-tight,but I have to deny alot of people because their pages and friends list don't reflect my Father.I mean nudity and profanity come on.I don't know if it's just me but my pastor is on my friends list and I would be embarrassed if he saw that kind of stuff on the pages of some of the people wanting to be my friends.Don't get me wrong,I wasn't always saved so I'm not looking down on anyone.Let me know if I'm taking this too serious.
10:20 AM


_______________________________________________________________________

Then somebody decided to post a few responses of what their friends apparently send out to deny people friendship when the requesters do not come up to their standards:
_____________________________________________________________________

The only people I REQUEST TO BE MY FRIENDS ARE THOSE LIKE YOURSELF. ON FIRE FOR GOD, SERVING GOD IN THERE BUSINESS AND WHO I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IN CONTACT WITH REGARDING MY NETWORKING FIELD.
_____________________________________________________________________

I DENY ANY ONE WHO REQUEST TO BE MY FRIEND THAT HAS FOUL LANGUAGE,PICS,THINGS THAT SAY TOTAL OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY HAVE STATED AS THERE BELIEFS, UNLESS GOD DIRECTS ME OTHERWISE AND I AM TO SPEAK THE WORD TO THEM AND MINISTER TO THEM IN LOVE.
_____________________________________________________________________


When I get a request I open up their profile in a seperate window first and I ask God to speak to me and tell me whether or not I should add that person. I believe the best of everybody. If it is a page that encourges fornication drugs and any other form of sin that people are facing day to day and need to be delivered from unless the Lord tells me so they are denyed. (not because of where they are in life ,but because of where I am)

_____________________________________________________________________

I completely agree with you and have felt like I was being up-tight as you put it, but I came to the same conclusions, claiming the name of Christ you have to be careful since the bible does say we should avoid even the "appearence of evil" and those who are not christians, like it or not will judge those of us who are by the "friends" we have on our lists. So...no Nicole I do not think you are taking it too seriously.

______________________________________________________________________
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Pardon me... but this is NOT how Jesus would do things…

…It sounds very little like Christ and more like a bunch of pious and self-righteous people who cannot handle the idea of actually being a witness and must have only “friends” who agree with them in order to be friends.

I would have maybe a dozen friends if I used such measures as those suggested. I doubt I would make the cut if I requested the friendship of these above Myspacers.

I assure you this methodology does NOT comply at all to what Jesus would do…

…How do I know?

Well for one thing Jesus was chastised because he choose to hang with the very people these folks are avoiding.. It’s in scripture and it was one of the things the priests (and even some of Jesus own disciples) had contention with .

For the record I DENY NO ONE and will ONLY block those who are persistently abusive. So far I have blocked only 5 individuals and I gave them all ample opportunity to simply agree to disagree, agreeably…Some people simply cannot get along no matter how hard one tries. Some people MUST be RIGHT even if they are WRONG. It takes a great deal of obnoxiousness to get cut from my list I assure you.

In the Bible we read the following:

Matt 9:9-13 (NIV) As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him. 10 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and “sinners” came and ate with him and his disciples.11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and ’sinners’?” 12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”


Do I really need to say more? Do I need to defend myself concerning why I don’t even bother to carefully review each profile and scutinize it? Should I be worried that people look at my profile and see “sinners” on my friends list? Should I worry about “LOOKING LIKE a good spiritual man” or “BEING a good spiritual man“?

I choose not to be such a judge.

I value ALL people and I should rather befriend an honest sinner than a self-righteous hypocrite. I can help over time to bring love and healing to the first group but the second refuses to acknowledge their illness.

Those who JUDGE shall surely be judged according to how they judge and those who want to “be Christ-like” do not judge as the world judges but rather they welcome freely the sinner.. Saying “COME ONE.. COME ALL and SEEK TOGETHER WHAT IS RIGHT AND TRUE AND GOOD. LET US SEEK GOD FOR HE CARES AND LOVES ALL MEN.. AND ALL MEN ARE SINNERS IN NEED OF GOD AND IF HE CAN LOVE THEM THEN SO CAN I!”

If anyone should want to be my friend I accept them for then I can minister to them but if I reject them then have I not pushed them further away from the LOVE OF GOD? Have I not denied them access to truth? Have I not abandoned them and taken any opportunity from them that it might be me who can help them through my witness. Have I not sinned against them grievously in doing this?

My answer to the original “Blogster” is this: “No, you are not taking this seriously ENOUGH. WWJD? He would take in all people and by way of BEING LOVE (not bible-thumping*) show them the way to God gently by, over whatever time it takes, continually being a beacon of light and a herald of wisdom.”

* Note: Historic Jesus would often quote scripture with the words “it is written” but never do you see him holding a scroll or book in front of a “sinner” and tapping it with his finger in accusation. In fact, the only time you see Jesus using a scroll (book) in any way is when he is in the Temple ministering to the “hypocrite priests”.

Again, the only thing I Judge are “the Pious Judges” and those who “live outside of Love“.

I call them the “Hypocrites” and I pray that they will learn how to walk the walk they can talk so well. Yes, even them do I love… but they are those whom will say “Lord, Lord.. Did we not do all sorts of great things in your Name?” yet they shall not see a reward for they may have done great works but they denied the power of “Love” which is the true cause of He who they claimed to serve.

I shall continue to take in the “tired, poor and hungry” and those who don’t?.. well, they are free to do as they will for in the end all shall give account to GOD.

BE LOVE & BE LOVED!

BE CHANGE.. With USA180.org

USA180.org is an organization committed to making a difference by advocating freedom and justice. The concept is to create a unified organization of concerned activists who desire the U.S. to uphold the principals of the Constitution and Bill of Rights essential to freedom.

USA180.org is taking on many important issues and below I have included some videos regarding those issues. Please take the time to watch and then if you need more information please visit www.USA180.org:

1) SCOTT LOPER CASE:



2) HR1955 / S1959



H.R. 1955: The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act

For those who haven\'t seen it, here is a snippet from the Bill, which is actually legislation that is set to amend Title VIII of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 361 et seq.). So, part of the Bill amends the Act by including... (note subsection (3) in this...so we should all be wary of this now being the first (or, rather, next big) step in necking down Internet freedom)
`SEC. 899B. FINDINGS.

`The Congress finds the following:

`(1) The development and implementation of methods and processes that can be utilized to prevent violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence in the United States is critical to combating domestic terrorism.

`(2) The promotion of violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence exists in the United States and poses a threat to homeland security.

`(3) The Internet has aided in facilitating violent radicalization, ideologically based violence, and the homegrown terrorism process in the United States by providing access to broad and constant streams of terrorist-related propaganda to United States citizens.

`(4) While the United States must continue its vigilant efforts to combat international terrorism, it must also strengthen efforts to combat the threat posed by homegrown terrorists based and operating within the United States.

`(5) Understanding the motivational factors that lead to violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence is a vital step toward eradicating these threats in the United States.

`(6) The potential rise of self radicalized, unaffiliated terrorists domestically cannot be easily prevented through traditional Federal intelligence or law enforcement efforts, and requires the incorporation of State and local solutions.

`(7) Individuals prone to violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence span all races, ethnicities, and religious beliefs, and individuals should not be targeted based solely on race, ethnicity, or religion.

`(8) Any measure taken to prevent violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence and homegrown terrorism in the United States should not violate the constitutional rights, civil rights and civil liberties of United States citizens and lawful permanent residents.

`(9) Certain governments, including the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia have significant experience with homegrown terrorism and the United States can benefit from lessons learned by those nations.

CHEMTRAILS: The "CON" of the new "Con"trails.




Look UP !!!!!
?? ???
huh ???? ???
WTheck?????
UM ??????
What is going on ???????
Chess anyone??






So .....what is going on here?????




The documentary featured in today's blog (below) is produced by chem trail researcher Clifford Carnicom and is a must see and excellent research tool for those interested in the subject.

Five plus years went into the making of this video which provides ample evidence that the phenomenon known as "CHEMTRAILS" is not mere fantasy nor can it be easily written off as anything "normal".

CONtrails ("Condensation" trails) are ice crystals formed by water vapor from jet aircraft and last no longer than a few minutes before they dissipate and vanish.

CHEMtrails ("Chemical" trails), on the other hand, linger for a much longer period of time and form a haze and/or overcast that some call "fake clouds".

Although it is becoming increasingly more obvious that something odd is happening (at least to we who have been around and aware long enough to notice) as yet no agency, nation or government has come forward to explain this mystery.


Aerosol Crimes - 1st Edition

Please feel free to do your own research and come to your own concions and if you have as yet not noticed what is going on outside over your head... keep looking up.. In many areas of the world this is witnessed almost daily.

Just in the last 30 days here in the Portland, Oregon area I have seen at least 6+ major "incidents of heavy Chemtrail spraying" (one being so heavy the sky turned a yellow haze so thick that the moon seemed red and the horizon a smokey yellow.

BE CHANGE..Together!!!




It seems lately that tensions, pressures and fears being fed us by all sides are actually causing many to feel depressed, doubtful, frustrated and worst of all DIVIDED!

In today’s world sometimes it seems more reasonable to hoard and divide AWAY from others ... preparing for some fearful "survival of the fittest" scenario...

...but realize that in such a time of potential terror there are STILL a fair number of hidden decent, kind, meek loving people who find strength in each other and in sharing whatever is available and being supportive of the whole and willing to sacrifice that all can survive in equity. And not alone.

Right now I feel it is vitally important not to bicker over small and petty issues (such as "Did Adam have a belly button?" or "Can you Prove God with Science?" )...

We no longer have such luxuries to debate divisive issues or unprovable ideologies of little substance when one is simply told to comply or die by some uncaring oppressor with a NAZI like attitude to life..

We must ACT NOW TOGETHER AS ONE or lose not only our country (USA)... but our Freedom.

No matter what your race, religion, lack of religion, sexual identity, or whatever divides..

...WE NOW WE "NEED" TO COME TOGETHER AGAINST AN EVIL

THAT ONE MIGHT SAY

IS AS DANGEROUS AS SATAN HIMSELF

...and that is...

UNFEELING SYSTEMS OF GLOBAL "CONTROL, BONDAGE AND MANIPULATION OF MEN..BY MEN and intended to bring together ALL nations of the world into one big glorious "big brother" "global village" planet that would be great if it was run by people who really cared about the needs of all people and had a heart of Love.

No, I am afraid this new idea would claim to be coming in LOVE but it would not be the type of which i have long spoken.. No this LOVE is of Money, power and Selfish domination only.. Think of it as 13 Families playing the game of "Risk" and the rest of us are just those small individual colored blocks.

These New World Order dictators will speak of great things and new freedom. But "new freedom" will mean "slavery to global govt." in a mechanized society where only the productive shall live.

None shall truly be allowed to think for themselves unless their thoughts are preapproved and subject to globally adopted goals and ideals.

This BEAST has no real friends, nor conscience and hates anyone who is poor, needy and not in synch with it's own so called "free thinking".. in this "new-speak" idea of "freedom" if one thinks outside the box it is likely they will be living in one.. and this would include not only Christians but any other thought process which does not comply with the needs of "La Machina".

This Globalist Beast only wishes to digest both saint and heathen for it would sell weapons to either side and care not who wins or loses... just so it can profit from the death and loss (and any losses only decrease the surplus population which are worthless beggars anyway)."

Such a scenario might seem far-fetched fantasy or Orwellian Science fiction.. but indeed enough evidence suggests there are people who actually do see things so entirely pragmatically and machinated that death becomes only another means to an end and depopulation of humans no more disconcerting than "deer season" to the average hunter. (Google the Georgia Guidestones and see how many people they intend to let live).

"Robots for the rich and death to the poor?????"

THIS IS NOT RIGHT! so...

MY WAY OF FIGHTING THIS (seen yet unseen) ENEMY IS BY RESISTING HIM MYSELF AND BY PROVIDING LOVE & HOPE & INFORMATION I FEEL IS IMPORTANT FOR LOVE & HOPE TO BE THE RESULT IF AT ALL POSSIBLE!

I guess I am an "INFOPATRIOT WARRIOR OF LOVE and JUSTICE"

I submit Gandhi as being an excellent example of how to conduct an effective peaceful protest of any injustice as he too was a "Warrior of Love & Justice"

My hope would be that (if possible) we can all retain a Free, Safe, Peaceful, Kind and Equal USA which provides maximum opportunity to any who wish to achieve (and take responsibility required to do so).

In bringing about GOOD CHANGES we would all need to willingly manifest maximum compassion and assistance for those physically, Mentally or Spiritually sick, widowed, orphaned, challenged, etc...

...Evil cares not for these people but good sees them as VERY important.. because what we do to the least of these people shows the value we place on ourselves, our society, our beliefs and on LIFE ITSELF.

My hope is that if we could manifest enough love to change the prophecies then we could gain back our country through real innovation and positive industry that focuses on a new national ideal (that prides itself again in Individual rights and freedoms and maintaining easy and rational laws designed only to support truth and justice which is fair and equally given to all humanity irregardless of status or wealth).

I would pray that those who hoard massive wealth could realize that no amount of money will ever truly quench greed and ultimate satisfaction comes not by endless acquiring of physical self-gratification (and false glory). These things do not last thus I pray that those who feel greater than others might realize the innate oneness of all people ..seeing none as either above. Nor below ones own status.

I wish to see ALL people willing to serve (without threat or force) all humanity as equals with committed zeal, a desire for wisdom and with unbridled enthusiasm that asks "What can i do to help?"

Let us remember the words of J.F. Kennedy who said "Ask not what your country can do for you.. but what you can do for your country!" Let me extend Country to mean "all people created by God.. and that's everyone!"

ALL PEOPLE ARE VALUABLE AND WORTHY OF LOVE & SUCCESS... But you cannot view any as being more or less valuable than yourself and you must equally give out love...tested and proven through the "fires of compassion" and exhibited by "consistent evidence of mercy".

Fires of compassion can reveal all evils and burn them completely.

Consistent evidence of mercy can provide the way to equitability and justice.

I would hope WE can "be the active change" the world needs and not expect anyone to make " (not so)fair and equitable changes" for us.

This will require some personal investment and sacrifice (it may even mean that the PATRIOTIC "atheist", "Wiccan", "Christian" "Muslim" "Jew" "Lesbian" "Gay" "Pro-Choice", "Pro-life" etc..etc..etc.. may have to put down their torches and pitchforks long enough see who the real enemy is and after we eliminate that we can then argue about theologies,philosophies,dogmas,doctrines, lifestyles or what have you.

I suggest you make "trust", "consideration" and "tolerant patience with differences", and your first sacrificial offering to God and/or to each other.

Begin by finding the LOVE that knows no words, names or differences..

and just LOVE LIKE THAT until this enemy is neutralized.

Then if you wish to play games again we can discuss if Moses parted a sea, Christ walked on water or which came first "The chicken or the Egg"..

...But first may i direct you attention to your planet and countries and ask yourself .. Is this what I desire this nation to be? If not?.. Give up all the petty differences ...Get together with others who desire FREEDOM, TRUTH, JUSTICE and LOVE and change this world to meet those objectives..

...do so in unity, tolerance and peace because none can make it as a maverick. We are all part of a bigger "body".. let's act the part we serve and not judge the other parts unless their errors might harm another person and then even to them give mercy (not revenge)... Show the offender what works by living true to what you believe and being an example... If they claim to be your leaders hold them to their words and promises.

Let's show evil who is boss by making seas part and helping people walk on water.. For now let us shut the mouth and open the heart to all who seek rightness and unity .

YOU CAN'T JUST GIVE IT LIP SERVICE.. YOU MUST...

"WALK

YOUR

TALK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

This doesn't mean WE won't make mistakes... Oh WE sure will and sometimes WE will make a mess of things.. But see.. If WE truly want success ..WE CAN HAVE IT.. BUT ONLY TO THE DEGREE OF FAITH WE HAVE (both in God and in US as a cohesive whole seeking that which is good).

As for me...

I am what I have always been and always shall be...

...I am Me ...

...and as Me I realize I contain a part of God and a part of each of YOU.

I claim to have a message and a purpose and i also claim that each of you likewise has a purpose and message all your own that once you find it and act upon it will heal you and the world and it will allow you to see who and what you really are.

But one caveat in the old self-discovery voyage...

..LOVE YOURSELF.. But WATCH OUT FOR THE "UNHEALTHY EGO"!

Ah, Yes, THE "EGO"... That misunderstood center of the land of human "ID"...

It comes in two varieties actually:

SELFISH EGO (Unhealthy): "Sees the singular ME-SELF as the center of all things and demands that others serve the "ME-SELF" to the exclusion of all other "Self's"

HEALTHY EGO (Balance): "Knowledge that the self is an important part of the "WE-SELF" and realizes the Ego gets served automatically when the "WE-SELF's" get service from each other.

Sadly, If I did not have some Ego I would have likely never come on the internet and remained completely silent by reason of my meekness ... thus some healthy ego has a good purpose

People expect confidence and showmanship or they do not even give a few moments of time .. and so i must muster all i can to be a bit in the limelight simply to have a moment of voice in an ever more noisy world...If I appear as I am doing anything for selfish purposes I don't ever intend it that way ...so I pray you all might understand that in my intent lies my true quilt or innocence.. I declare My INTENT is always of the desire for high standards and objectives based in truth, compassion, honesty, mercy and LOVE.

After much prayer I stand on all I have spoken and said... and Where i may have made misjudgments or errors I apologize and wish i were at times perfect.. However. I was not aware being "human" was to ever stop me from my purpose and calling and that calling is to do the will of He who sent me (who I call "Father" and who calls me "Son").

Now EACH OF YOU I ask that you PLEASE!!!

"BE" THE CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't wait for others.. Just Do the job!

Don't ask others for proofs or miracles...

Prove yourself...

...BE YOUR OWN MIRACLE!"

... Do what you are called to do not with just mere words... but with committed duty, active diligent effort, consistent delivery and allowing time and room for the changes to be made proactively rather than reactively.. And by "WE" THE "PEOPLE" and not "THEY" THE "WHOEVERTHEYARESES"

We cannot quit until we successfully complete the missions we were assigned and committed to ...because unless we do not attempt to fulfill these missions to the best of our ability.. then we shall never feel complete nor satisfied.

Here are a few final thoughts:

Don't point fingers at anyone (but yourself)..

........... Don't blame anyone (but yourself)

................Don't judge anyone (accept to yourself)

..........................Don’t harm anyone (including yourself)

If you wish to BE LOVED!........ BE LOVE first!

If you wish to BE TRUSTED................ Be TRUSTWORTHY first!

If you want to SEE SUCCESS YOURSELF............ Teach others to be Successful.

Be sure to always test your motivation?...
.............WHY you do what you do is more important than what you do.


ASK YOURSELF:

Do I work for self........man....... or God?

If self ALONE it is forever challenging... but pointless.. none can satisfy Self.

If Humanity ALONE... it can be somewhat gratifying..... but fruitless.. humans are rarely grateful.

If God ALONE... you can be satisfied spiritually but the solitude can bring loneliness in the physical world.

THE WISE HUMAN BALANCES ALL THREE AS ONE "CYCLE".

Each soul can only find maximum happiness when activated by serving others, which in turn serves God which in turn serves the self that serves others.. thus completing a circle or cycle.

Ah.. Circles and Cycles.. If we just remember that everything good and bad is happening in circles.. maybe then we can complete the ones that should be completed those things will ROLL forward and then learn to break the circles that should be broken so they cannot be repeated.

Anyway the bottom line as always is........

"BE LOVE & BE LOVED!"

For without LOVE what use would be any of the rest of this existence and if God is LOVE then surely to BE LOVE is to be closer to God!.

BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS..But What of WARMONGERS?



With Wars and rumors of wars going on ever more frequently we are seeing an influx of discussion regarding something that is growing as a larger and larger threat every day… The possibility of NUCLEAR WAR

My faith and visions and yes, even my logic (not to mention the current events unfolding in world news) seem to point to the fact that we are at a cross roads in which the actions of a few WILL ultimately effect all things living upon the planet. Sadly, all markers seem to point more and more to this effect being based in Nuclear Conflict leading toward potential geneside .

The following is a Blog I wrote in April of 2006 regarding my feelings on warfare

FROM Jesus of Zion’s Blog 4/10/06
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


In today’s world there are so many ways to believe. So many ideologies, religions, faiths and belief systems that it becomes a difficult puzzle indeed to select truth from error.

When God called me to take on the important work He made it quite clear that I would be up against many strong and powerful adversities. He said that today there are many who profess to speak truth and know God but their lives were filled with falsehood and dogmatic lies. God directed me to TITUS 1:15-16 which gives a good description regarding the current situation.

Reprobate Christianity is wide-spread and dogma has replaced truth. War has replaced peace.

People who say “God is love” speak it in vane because if you do mighty things for the Lord, but have not LOVE then your faith is mute… lacking in “fruit” (MATTHEW 7:15-20).

When you have not LOVE… you are in Hate.

Hatred always leads to the same result… WAR.

An Irish writer named Herbert Butler writes the following “Political Christianity is almost always also militarist Christianity and when statesman and ecclesiastics come to terms it always happens that, in return for certain privileges, the Church gives its blessing to the military forces of the state.”

A war pitted man against man cannot… I REPEAT, CANNOT…ever solve the struggle between Good and Evil. Such wars are an abomination to YHWH. Warmongers, no matter how religious, cannot be blessed and neither can their wars. Defense alone is the only reason to ever raise a weapon.

The only real battle cannot be fought on a physical battlefield anyway. YHWH’s only justifiable war is “spiritual in nature” and requires no guns or knives to fight it… Because its battlefield is actually IN YOU!

America is at war with terrorism. This sounds quite righteous, yet tell me this… who is a terrorist and where can we find them? Can any country fight something so vague? Why not declare a war on evil or maybe on anyone who does not profess truth?

By making a vague enemy any leader can declare any other religion or country as being subversive and declare war upon it… as Bush did when he used 9/11 (supposedly an event sponsored by an single Afghani faction) as a method of going after an unconnected nation (Iraq).

Do you not see the injustice of a nation that has shifted the news so as to make 9/11 somehow connected to a unrelated war?

America has talked a great deal about being a “free” nation, yet have they not instead used 9/11 to remove our freedoms and make each of us fearful of a hard to define enemy?

By creating paranoia, the population of the Daughter of Babylon have become fearful and are way too willing to give away God’s gift of FREEDOM for a false sense of SAFETY.

Tell me this, What is the goal of this WAR? When will we know if it has been won? What mission did Bush claim he accomplished? What exactly is this “New World Order” that both GWB and his Father profess to support?

People, God does not justify vague and unwinable wars… period!

Nor does God bless any nation that starts such a war… which is why America will soon see the results of its corporate greed and self-righteousness vividly demonstrated when man is allowed to bring great wrath to himself.

War is hate… no matter what your nation leads you to believe. They can call it a “Patriot Missile” or a “Freedom Atomic Bomb” but this is rhetoric and it’s still a destructive instrument by any name.

A famous book by a man named George Orwell is called “1984” and it speaks of a way to manipulate truth called “Doublespeak”. It speaks of a mythical “Big Brother” leader who changes words to imply righteousness where there is none. For example, the word “Freedom” has its meaning changed to mean “Slavery” so that its citizens become puppets while still maintaining a belief that they are “free(sic)”.

The Bible is clear regarding the only righteous war. It is not a war against flesh… but one against the “powers of darkness” who are not physical in nature.

Debate is fine… for it is written “come let us reason together”… but any nation or peoples that start a war is WRONG… 100%! I believe that anyone who seeks a physical war is in league not with My Father but with his enemy...Satan.

Is it not written, ”Blessed are the PEACEMAKERS for THEY shall be called SONS of GOD”?

What then shall we call the WARMONGERS?

Let it be stated here that I in no way advocate physical WAR (pitting one man against another) of any type and I can support no nation or peoples that use it as a tool (save for defense alone)… I am taught by My God to seek ONLY PEACE.

There is no righteous Jihad or Holy War save the War which God himself fights on our behalf against EVIL!

One last sad fact. In Rwanda in 1994 an attempted genocide took place. Former Anglican Desmond Tutu wrote the following regarding this atrocity; “Those who had turned against one another in this gory fashion espoused the same faith. Most were CHRISTIAN.”

If you call yourself a follower of Christ and advocate physical warfare then you know not my Father YHWH… For only the meek shall inherit the earth and they only make peace and live LOVE!

BE LOVE AND BE LOVED!
Jesus of Zion
