Nothing is wrong with your system...I just needed to write this down and let people read it. A friend of a friend recently posted that he was an "Agnotic Atheist" and he had all these comments from his new friends about being "welcome to the cause". And something just hurt so deep inside. One of my friends has been talking to him for the longest time and bringing him to all the XA events and the other night he rediscovered his spiritual path and I was elated to say the least about this. It comes to no surprise that the enemy is fighting back. Someone else I know posted an article about his beliefs and immediately a "spiritual atheist" attacked him on every point. He gave him no room to breathe, no mercy, no kindness. The poor guy was hurt at the end of the argument, but he stay true to his faith. Why does it pain me so much when I see these argument? It seems inevitable that whenever a site anywhere opens up with Christian People in the title, people who wish to disagree and push a personal agenda will appear or 3 hate groups will pop up responding to this group. And who are all these people? They are the self-proclaimed open minded people in word, but in action are the most closed minded people in the world. Open minds let things pass through and soak in and will listen a different perspective and speak of their own. They won't badger people and tell them they are stupid and wrong for thinking such a way. Stand up and take initiative. Don't be afraid to say it. Because here are some facts: No one alive today or anyone in recent memory that you could have ever talked to was around for the creation. It doesn't matter how much argument you put into it, the fact is you will not know until you die. This is in-fact a perfect world despite what people say. Some people argue that it is not a perfect world because they do not have everything they want or would want to have. If this was the case that the world was reshaped on every whim of every individual, it would be a completely destroyed world and would have no order. The world is filled with order from every atom and electron and chemical. In order for math and physics to work, there are equations that remain constant. The input and output are not but the means to achieve it as seen in numerous textbooks are constant which must stand for something. If this was all just an accident of protons and electrons that separated from nothing into infinity (because the galaxies are still expanding even though we remain secure here on Earth), do you understand the chances that the worlds would be round, that stars and planets would follow a predetermined path for Billions of years, that people, animals, and everything that has ever come forth would be symmetrical? We take this as something granted but if everything was as random as people say it was created than no two living creatures would look remotely the same. We were created by a God who loves us and all we have to do is show him love and we will be granted a lifetime of happiness because that was our purpose in creation...to love God and everything he has given us. And we have people that don't even believe he exists. They want to block him out forever because they didn't get a car at 16 or the boyfriend broke up with them or they were too spoiled to see outside of themselves. I have a personal relationship with Jesus which means that he has given me authority to speak these things in his name. I have sight beyond anything. I see the world and the people in it for what they are. I continually ask questions and seek the truth. While I do mess up, I will always run back to my Abba Father. I have become conscious of the fact that sometimes I do rap myself up in the things of this world and I pay the price for it. Even so, this is no reason to disassociate from my creator who knew me and everything about me before I was born. My reason for being is to show the same love and mercy God has shown me when I was just an idiot wandering around aimlessly. I love others because I was first loved. I was always loved, but I never knew it. I realized that I was loved by God unconditionally March 4, 2005 when I sat in the Quad and talked to the creator who revealed things to me immediately about my life and how I was living. I gave my all to him and God has given all to me. Soon after, I sought the Holy Spirit to come into my life and change everything about me...and oh boy did he find me. My first dream after I was saved involved some familiar constructs of the time: Magic Cards. I had an attachment on my arm to draw and play cards (I saw it somewhere, I think a TV show) and the first card I drew was utter blackness....and I played it. It consumed the field and my dream. I woke up in pain and looked at the clock and when I fell back down, I was still in that dream world of pain. With all the strength I could muster, I threw away the card and drew a card made of pure light. When it hit the playing field, this warm bright light consumed everything and I was lifted into something so beautiful. Absolute joy and happiness, I think it was a glimpse of heaven and believe me...I want that for all eternity. I woke up with a word on my lips...Seraphim. Research showed me that this was one of the highest order of Angels. Soon, more experiences proved that this was not the name that I had been given...but what was placed inside of me. I soon learned the name through interactions with the Holy Spirit. Seraphi Magnus. An angel with many forms to accommodate whatever I need help with, it has been an incredible blessing in my life. Visions and ability that no one can believe or deny the presence thereof because how much I know or can do. Funniest part, Magnus as I found out a week ago means "the Great". My relationship with my Abba Father is too close to be broken by human questions. This perfect world was created by a perfect and loving God. Simple, plain and true. As far all that has happened, it goes back to Man. Man has done all of these terrible things to the earth and we are now reaping the fruits of this. So go out and enjoy life in the knowledge of our Creator, we don't have much time. |
