Chapter 9.
Hi, God. I hope you’re in a better mood then the other day–you had me scared there a little.
Why? Why be scared? To have faith in me, in my divine plan, is to never fear–even when faced with the prospect of death.
I know; God, I know; it’s just that sometimes my faith is not as it should be. Sometimes I just wish I had more proof you existed, and that I’m not merely making all of this up.
And what ‘proof’ would you require? I already told you that if your ‘real eyes’, your faith, is open, you will see me in everything; yet, if it is closed, you will never see me, no matter how overwhelming the evidence.
Yes, but what if they are open, but the vision is a little unclear? Maybe I need contacts.
I am contacting you. Now, and at all times. Contacts are always, and forever.
A little miracle once in a while might help, though.
Miracle? Just how do you define ‘miracle’, Will?
A miracle, I guess, is a...wait, here’s a dictionary...it’s; ‘An event inexplicable by the laws of nature and so held to be supernatural in origin or an act of God.”
I tell you now, Will, that there are no ‘laws of nature’, or ‘laws or science’. A law is a rule that must be obeyed, so if it is not obeyed once, it is no longer a ‘law’. A non-believer will never have faith in my existence, because even when ‘miracles’ do occur, they say it is ‘scientific progress’. If, a few centuries ago, they saw a flying machine, they’d say it was a miracle. If they saw a man on the moon, or people being cloned, they’d say the same. Each new ‘discovery’, although it violates the known laws, is not called ‘miraculous’, just ‘advancement’. You merely change the ‘law’ to fit what you have discovered. (You change the ‘laws’ of your government as well, and this all displays how you cannot limit humans morally or physically. This, of course, is because you are constantly evolving).
Thus, a ‘miracle’ is not a matter of what is happening, but when it is happening.
What about Jesus? He did miracles.
Everything that Jesus did was called a ‘miracle’ because nobody knew how to do it yet. Jesus healed the sick and it was a ‘miracle’, but doctors heal the sick now–with new cures all the time, and it’s not called a ‘miracle’. Mary got impregnated without having sex, and it was a ‘miraculous conception’, but women get sperm injections all the time now, getting pregnant without having sex. It is not called ‘miraculous’, but called ‘artificial insemination’. I created life spontaneously, long ago, and it was a ‘miracle’, but scientists create life ‘spontaneously’ in a lab, and they think they are showing how life can come from no previous life, thus disproving God. Are they not ‘previous life’? I tell you, if a doctor or scientist achieves something, it is a miracle, because I created them. Either you see it all as a miracle, or you will never see any of it as.
How about the other things Jesus did–walk on water, turn water into wine, all of that. We can’t do those things.
All of it was within the range of any human’s ability. It’s just that the ability has not been discovered yet.
So, how did he do it, long ago?
In the time he is from, all of that is known.
That would mean Jesus is from the future!! But time travel is not possible!
So, would you now say, is rising from the dead. If he was able to do that in the time he is from, is it not also possible that he could travel through time? He did say that ‘these things, and more, you shall also do’. Scientists have already shown that if you travel fast enough, you could go ‘back into time’.
But, you’d have to go the speed of light!
He came ‘a light into the world’, did he not?
Wow–that actually makes sense. If we could ‘go back’ in time, we all could, even if we ‘died’, then ‘rise’ from the dead by traveling back to a time before we died; just jump right back into our bodies. And all the talk of a ‘second coming’ of Jesus–that would actually be his first ‘coming’, since he hasn’t even been born yet! But why did Jesus come?
Jesus was a messenger, even as you are, giving the world a message. ‘Love thy neighbor’, he said, ’Love thy enemy’, ‘Love one another’. Love. Love. Love. I told him, as I tell you now, mankind has made a ‘design’ of too many ‘not right’s. This can be balanced in one of two ways: by killing you all and starting over (the ‘apocalypse’, as he plainly stated), or by a massive turnaround in human behavior. Too many ‘sins’ create an imbalanced design, and only lives lived in purity and love can offset that.
What about indifference? Is that ‘not right’? That is not sinning, technically.
‘In’, as a prefix, means ‘not’. So, if one is ‘in-different’, he is literally ‘not’ ‘different’. He is ‘not different’ than a sinner. If one is not going ‘right’, then no matter what other direction he goes in, it’s ‘left’, for it will be either ‘left’, or what is ‘left’ after ‘right’ and ‘left’. ‘Indifference’ is something ‘left’ over, after ‘love’ and ‘hate’, so it, like hate, is ‘not right’. It is ‘left’, so it is sinning.
I’ll use the analogy of light and dark. Obviously, if you put no light somewhere, it is dark. But, if you put neither light nor dark, there still is darkness. Dark is the absence of light. You have been living in the dark for too long. Let there be light!
And I see the light.
And I see that it is good. It is good-ness. Satan, the Lord of Darkness, has tempted us into a wold of sin.
And I gave unto you my only begotten sun.
Sun? You’ve got it wrong–it’s ‘son’.
No–you’ve had it wrong. Is not the sun a creation of pure light? Did Jesus not say that; ‘...I am the bright and morning star’? He is truly the ‘light of the world’, and ‘the way...’ the ‘right’ way. ‘Right’ means ‘right’-eous, and only by being ‘right’eous can you do the ‘right’ thing. If you ‘b’‘right’ you will be ‘bright’. If you ‘r’‘light’ then you are ‘right’. You are intelligent. Just. Loving. Just loving. You are, literally, a shining example to all-- and if you do that all the time you are a ‘sun’ of God, and the ‘sun’ of man, if you are given unto men. And you create only ‘right’ s on the big picture of humanity. If you die this way, it makes a space of the ‘left’ side that can only be filled by the ‘not right’s of other people. The ‘sins’ of others balances your ‘right’-eousness.
So, Jesus did ‘die so that we may sin’! He did ‘die for our sins’!
Much to your delight. To ‘de-light’ something is to ‘take away’ it’s light. In your de-light, in your sinning, you ‘take away’ the ‘light’, or the ‘right’ of the imprint of Jesus on the design of the human race. Even in your indifference, you do it. To ‘b’ the ‘lack’ of light is to be ‘black’. Dark. ‘Not right’.
Just like any star, when it dies, when the ‘sun’ of God died, it really did make a ‘black hole’....in the ‘space’ on the left side!
Truly. A hole of pure darkness. That ‘hole’ is no less ‘holy’ then the ‘sun’ however. All are necessary to complete the perfect design. A ‘hole’ is still part of the ‘whole’, as the words show; it’s just that there is no balance. No symmetry. No beauty. You are, as a whole (and ‘hole’), not following my script for a great design. You are designing your own, and it is not pretty. It is pretty, on the other hand. Pretty bad. Like night. Jesus was sent as an example, one to be emulated. He tried to ‘n’ ‘light’ you all, but all that came was ‘night’. There is still time, however, to achieve balance, and put an end to the ‘bad-night’. A ‘good-night’ to the ‘bad-night’.
I must say, this is pretty heavy stuff, God....
Yes, it’s ‘heavy’ stuff, but it is also ‘light’ stuff. It is both. Only not enough of the ‘light’ stuff!
And you’re here to ‘shed some light’ on us.
And you’re here to ‘shed some light’, as is each and every one of my children! Be a guiding light. Brighten somebody’s day. Let your love shine in your warm beams and in turn give warmth to others. Come together. Come together all the time; in fact, ‘be’ ‘come together’. And become together. Become a family, all of you, together. Become ‘becoming’, even. In ‘becoming’ ‘become’ you are ‘becom-ing’. It is ‘becoming’. And it is most becoming. Jesus said that ‘whoever shall do the will of God is my brother, and sister, and mother’. So, as a family, come together with each other, so that you can come, to me-- together. Now you see as through a glass, darkly, but then face to face: now you know in part: but then shall you know even as also I am known.
And now abideth faith, hope, and love, these three; but greatest of these is love.
.....I saw today a new earth; and the city had no need of the sun to shine on it, and the gates of it shall not be shut at all by the day: for there shall be no night there. And they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord giveth you light, and you shall reign for ever and ever.
In the end, we will have won.
In the end, we will have one.
