The Law

The major appeal of Islam is the law it brings to a population. The proper law is lost on Christians. For example, Paul discusses dietary codes given by to the Jews by Moses is not applicable to Christians. Therefore, a Christians does not have to be Kosher.

Today, many Christians bake a ham for Easter. I find this to be rude, there is a high probability that Christ did not eat pork. Just because he ate grain on the Sabbath does not mean eating pork is good. There are traditions among different people that does not matter when it comes to the truth of Christ. Does Christianity have a law to be followed?

Personally, I suffered from confussion concerning the law for Christians. 95% percent of the teachings of Christ is about concern for your fellow human and live a proper life (the holy spirit from the grace of God gives this ability to humanity) and be the light of the world to be emulated and learned by others. To be a Christian is not an over night experience and a path taken over a long or short life. Christians children (me being one) learn many things about Christ but we do not understand them until we live them. Under the protection of God, family, friends, and aspects of society we live a sheltered life.

I loved Christ but at same time I believed in the right to wage war. I suffered from the fact that I will not turn the other cheeck but will rather fight it out. This is a duality that is manifested in the relationship that exist between a human with government and GOD. The civic duty to protect your country or faith in God "the good shepard" to protect you from all harm. There is the free will of the individual that determines the action of the person. I was raised in a culture that accepted war as a solution to solve geo-political problems. However, I always remember "you live by the sword you die by the sword."

Returning to the Question What is Christian law? Christ did not come to do away with the law but fullfill the law. I have come to the conclusion that two laws exist in the Old Testament: The Ten Commandments and the Law of Moses. The Ten Commandments come directly from God while the law of Moses comes indirectly from the Ten Commandments. The words of Christ is a reflection of the Ten Commandments.

Contitions exists where it seems that Christ beliefs does not coincide with the Ten Commandments. For instance, Christ says that his words will turn a father against son, a mother against daughter, and other family relationships will be torn because of his word. This is counter to the commandment to honor thy father and mother. Is this a contradiction or a natural occurrance. If your parents are in the dark concerning God but you have been enlightened by Christ it will be a natural occurrance of conflict. If your parents think God is in a stone and you know God is your heart a conflict will occur when your try to tell them the truth of the matter.

The power to forgive can be forgotten. I have heard time and again as long as I have Christ in my heart it is good to be mad/hate at my parents. Conditions have been imposed on families by artificial constructs that put people back into the dark. Thus God sends messengers to restore the light of the world. In Western Civilization racism became rampant. I look at the Shakespearian play Othello. How did Othello become a slave picking cotton. A shrowd of darkness was cast upon humanity.

People use aspects of the bible to support nefarious practices. For instance, Paul ask for a slave to be free because he share the same faith as his owner. Paul leaves the matter to the owner. The owner eventually frees the slave. The slave becomes a valuable member of the Christian society. Slavery exists but threw Christ slavery will end. This can be seen as it is normal to have slaves. How can one love there neighbor and keep them in a condition of captivity. You must create artificial construct to put people back in the dark thus you have Othello becoming a piece of property picking commodities. Without the same faith, you can condem a person to perpetual slavery. When the person that is a slave becomes Christians they are not freed. Laws and institutions prevent a master from freeing a slave that is an equal in Christ. Here is one of the many hypocracies found in Christianity. This returns to the conditions of secular and GOD.

To end the hypocrosy law is demanded. There is the law of God and the Law of the state. Does a Christian have a law to follow? Yes, Christians have a law to follow but it can be undermined when taking versus from the Bible out of context. To define the law is a personal experience. Religion can pointer one pointers but it still up to the individual to make a decision. I suggest seeking the kingdom of God then seek Wisdom. I have stated before my hypocrasy is that I believed in waging war. Judaism and Islam both allow for War, or is that the truth. What gives a person the right to over throw a repressive regime. The United states is interesting because when one opressive regime is dismantled another takes it place.

Muslims put Christians under the law when Christians do not follow the law. Jews critize Christians because of not following the law. Christians critisize Christians for not obeying the law. The holy spirit is suppossed to put the law in our hearts. You can not see the law in someones heart. What is the role of Christians in the world? We are suppossed to be the new temple but is the new temple for all or for a select few. Our hypocracy, creates the correction from God, a person can listen to the correction or continue the hypocracy. I no longer believe in the right to wage war but I still know my school of thought on war.

I wonder sometimes: Why is a Chrisitan upset about demolishing the world trade organization, we are not for the world and the aquisition of wealth?

Moreover, How do we know that Mohammed saying that Christ did rise from the dead is not actually that the resurrection or second coming has not occurred yet. This is really way more far out, I have enough time dealing with Christianity now that i don't wonder about other faiths anymore.

On Islam

Hebrews: Chapte 1 v 4-6: 4) Being made so much better than the angels, as he has by inheritance obtained a more execellent name than they. 5) For to which of the angels said he at any time, You are my Son, this day have I begotten you? And again, I will be to him a Father, and He shall be to me a Son? 6) And again, when he brings in the First Begotten into this world, he says, And let all angels of God worship Him.

In the Quran it is stated the the Gospels are the true word of God and should be read. However, the Gospels are a testament to the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. Muslims do not believe that Christ rised from the grave. If they do not believe that Christ rose from the grave then they can not accept the Gospels as the truth. A contradiciton exist in the tenets of the faith.

I must examine where did Mohammed "blessing upon his name" get the Quran. It is well documented that the Quran was given to the prophet by the angel Gabriel. First, one must believe in angels, Jinn, and demons to accept the following: The angel Gabriel does not accept the truth of Christ. Gabriel created a religion through the prophet to make Christianity seem untruthful.

(the hypocracy inherit in many that profess to be Christian makes it easy to believe that Christians are following a wrong doctrine. I am not trying to condem Christians but even to this day most non-believers or those that did believe and turned away state the hypocracy of Christians makes the Gospels worthless. Moreover, who are the Christians these Muslims are encoutering, I would say merchants, to live for God or to live for wealth is a burden on these Chritians and no telling the sin they committed)

The Question one must asked: Is the angel Gabriel mad at Christ? A similar story exist in the Quran concerning Satan/Iblis refusal to bow to God's creation Man. Did Gabriel refuse to bow to Christ as God commanded. The books of Hebrews talks about angels.

I believe at this point in time Christ is shaking the foundation of heaven. He has gone to prepare a place for human that have faith. It has been said that the heaven and the earth will be shaken before the return of Christ. Angels not accepting a Son of Man as superior to them is a hard pill to swallow especially after the fall of man. It is comparable to the relation of the United States to the United Kingdom, there is no way this hodge podge collection of shifty businessmen, religous zealots with false beliefs, indentured servants and slaves can ever be greater than the U.K. "God save the Queen."

I am not trying to undermine Islam but I have listed a major concern that Islam is not from God but from the angel Gabriel. However, the good thing about the revelation of the Quran to Mohammed "peace unto him" is he brought a Law to a lawless people that dealt in revenge and blood debt: extreme eye for an eye. Mohammed is similar to Moses bringing the Law to people, but it is Christ that brings salvation.

What are Gabriel's intention revealing the book? If you believe the Gospel is the truth then you must believe Christ is the Messiah.

cast the net there

From the shore,
our Lord,
feed the masses:
bread;
from his breath:
the word of God,
is the gift of life.
The kingdom of heaven!
is at hand!
from then
and right now
tis day.
Peter:
the rock,
but ran like the wind,
a mile for each time
the cock crowed.
BUT
before he lifted
his cross,

REMEMBER
(everyman falters,
part of the dirty business
of being a man)
REMEMBER

He with his eyes,
He with his ears,
KNEW
The preaching to the masses
of
our Lord.
Long day out to sea
no fish to sell
just the aches and pains
of being a male,
"trying to make a dollar out of ten cents"
our Lord,
came to him
and said hello,
the kingdom of God...
is at hand...
my friend...
cast the net there,
Grumble
Grumble
Grumble
Grumble
like every man
that knows thier way,
and
we always say:
I know how to perform my TRADE!
one push
two push
three push
NETS OVER THE SIDE!
ha ha ha!!!!
LOOK here brothers:
this holy man will see!
one pull
two pulls
three pulls
NETS BACK INSIDE THE BOAT!
too many fish to try to pick up.
Then Peter believed
"he'll be a fisher of men"
I will follow you master
for
to find the kingdom
of
HEAVEN!!!
Your belly will be feed.
Your back will have clothes
(ME!
I'm not sure about a place to sleep,
because the spirit...
moves us)
because:
GOD TAKES CARE OF HIS FLOCK!!!
and
The fruits of the Lord,
are not of this world.
My advice,
....to you....
is to,
drop your net
right there.

me being frail

I will not Die,
I will live one day,
Thus I fear the Lord.
I have grown accustomed,
to my flabby skin,
to my reciding hair line,
to my cross I bear
and
knowing the sorrow of living on earth.
To be made a new?
Tears wiped away,
To have:
ETERNAL!
Laughter and Joy,
Thus I fear the Lord.
I am told
"It will be good"
but
How can it be?
I have friends that won't believe.
I was told:
"the angels adore me,
my jokes I tell,
crack up the spirit world up"
I like telling them from
EARTH,
Thus I fear the Lord.
To know,
he is:
I AM!
and
me being frail,
and unsure,
which steps to take?
on thin ice!
depending on HIS will,
to guide me in this world,
Thus I fear the Lord.

A Picasso is not a Picasso

To accept!
the unacceptable,
is to become!
unacceptable,
Is there perfection?
or
just random sets of
tolerating behavior,
created in a matrix,
fuzzy logic
moves you
chaga chaga choo choo
from the black
to white
threw a haze of gray
even gray is another
rainbow?
If I live by the Law,
Do I stone you,
If you do not?
No and never,
for there is always
a thing lacking
in human perfection,
but
the perfection from God
is too travel and change
rearrange my point of view,
God made me with an
aposable thumb
Therefore,
I have an adjustable mind.
you repeat a lie often enough
the next you have a truth
A dog can learn a new trick
if you know how to to train,
A man can learn a new trick
When you learn how to speak,
words do lose their meaning
on the printed page
or the electric page
and the beautiful woman
her flowing hair
the smile
of happiness in her eyes
the smell of sweet flowers
and the grace
of her gentle steps
are lost and become pointless
in images and words
a picasso is not a picasso
posted on a web page
and a women
will never have justice
when it comes to words
the only creation
above the creation of men
is the lovely woman
that is more peaceful than a dove
and stronger
than any man.

"Seek ye first!

the kingdom
of
Heaven!"
The love of God,
freely given.
The temple
built
by the sacrifice
of
Christ,
the unmovable stone.
The foundation for humanity.
To live in peace and be free:
from sin and death:
living in harmony.
"Hell no we won't seek!"
"Duh?
A life is like a box of chocolate?
Duh?
nobody told me to look,
Duh?"
How can you miss the sign?
anyone that drives a car,
in the good ole:
In
GOD WE TRUST
USA!,
will see one sign that says:
"JESUS SAVES"
people push
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>GOD
to the back burner,
for
Champagne Brunches
on sundays
(but more than sitting in a pew)
pulling
"Heave HO"
themselves
closer to the fires of hell.
Living for the world:
stocks, bond, nifty porfolio's
my 2010k plan
is
golden.
Storing treasure
on
Earth
not
in
HEAVEN?
"We are modern"
grain silo's are passe,
"Nobody said nothin about bank accounts"
Is this not the same thing?
GOD
has become a retirement plan,
JESUS
is selling prime property in heaven,
Holy Spirit
is chi, fu, chakra's, in everything,
I do not want to see:
the tears,
the gnashing of teeth
the screams,
and agony
When he says bluntly:
"I knew ye not"
to paraphrase:
back the fuck up!!!
reflecting the delusions
of
having the perfect seat
the closer I sit to the preacher
is the closer I will sit to GOD
"out of my way! I got church dues to pay"
All the while,
never to have opened the word,
passing Christ the stumbling block,
Living the high life
on the left side
on the wide road
forgetting about the slow
narrow path on the right.
THE EVENT HORIZON
between
LIFE
and DEATH
takes hold
Sitting by his well,
I see many come calling:
"Master! What do I do?"
wanting it to fit them,
not them fit in it.

I PRAY FOR US.

Hoping they get what they
seek,
First or last
last or first
does not matter
to me
as long as WE
don't miss the bus.

There is God then there is Men

A lowly pigeon
frantically flapping
across the
pale blue sky,
Has a lot less CENTS then men,
but
MORE
alot
more
Common SENSE then men.
Without ryhme or reason
we see it:
zoom to the left
veer to the right
perch on a building
We YELL
"LOOK OUT below"
then the pigeon
poops.
SPLAT
more like
a tap
of a
busy
buzzing
bumble bee
bumping
into one's
knee
seeking pollen
for the queen.
both will render
a
GASP!
for
breathe.
Tempers flare,
then subside.
We laugh
and
recall
that dreadful day
when we where chicken george
and screamed in our mind
"The sky is falling!"
finally,
"We geuss it is good luck?"
better than a sting.
I think
There is God
his will
in the
erratic
graceless
flight
of the
pigeon
or
Dove
that always
finds a place
to
tell men
be
coool coool.
then
I think
then there is Men,
In a car.
Speeding!!! beep
swiftly switching lanes: BEEP BEEP BEEP!!!
city streets swarming with automobiles.
SCREEEEECHHHHH
a crash.
spending money:
insurance
Ching,
doctor bills
Ching,
dent removal,
ching,
paint job,
ching,
Back to buying a new car:
Ching,
SCREEEEeCHHHHHhhhh
and
CHING CHING CHING CHING
all over again,
but losing our cool.
There is God
then there is men.
The pigeon
is the will of God
men are like pigeons,
but
HUMANS
are the
WILL OF GOD
and
I realize
everthing is cool.
