I was challenged to do better

What the Christian journey is truly about

Imagine wanting to live forever. Watching your body parts being replaced one by one with silicon equivalents. It’s the way I feel when somebody tells me to do better as befitting a follower of Jesus.

The Bible tells us, fear the One who can raise the body and torment it for eternity. Now, I’m not a clever mathematician but I know the odds of being found perfect in every way are close to zero. Would then, parts of me be cut off, that sinned? Eventually, I would either be heart-numb and / or standing in the lake of fire in agony.

There was the Law, then the New Covenant, then comes the Resurrection. Between the Law and New Covenant was expected Messiah. Between NC and Resurrection, is expected ripeness. Ripeness is often misconstrued as perfection. But I believe it is better termed, ‘just about to spoil’. It must then be a state of emotional maturity that falters not under stress. It is not necessarily that you stop your ‘happy time’ but prepare yourselves for that rough ride, whatever your means.

To know light / virtue is enough, not to be thinking so every time, out of chastising fear or peer pressures. For the antichrist will attack, saying we are to bear a mark ‘666’ or the name of our Savior -that we may be allowed a living. Thus will the antichrist destroy many who do not know the simple answer. Gospel — the NC, the Kingdom of God is but a subtle alteration within. He who sees for himself with inner eyes, we have a Creator. Donald touts his Abraham accords. We tout our Genesis accords. We were created and our God is coming again.

Feeling this is not a knee-jerk reaction, but the result of continuous seeking and internal study of yourself. I spent circa 40 years being an atheist, then an apologetic until I was called (like St. Paul) to spread the good news. I begged and waited for instruction, for the Spirit to move, I wrote silly things in my innocence. But now, I am on the right track — mature, supportive, ready to do the Father’s will.

“A part of me whispers to the Creator”

When there were debates, I was first to listen. Publications? I was first to read / buy. A part of me whispers to the Creator. Yea, even so He put it ahead, prophetically, knowing of my long road to this discovery, and IMHO, it is faith enough.

PS. Dad bought a $200 computer chair today at IKEA. Have yet to assemble it. We’ll be rearranging his room for better feng shui as right now things are non-ideal, filling him with a sort of resentment, ill temper. Lots of things internal are caused by external folly. And for some, experiencing the mistake and the solution both, is necessary.
