I clicked the image and nothing happened.
GP the text talks about Enoch disapperance and being transition to heaven
As a bible illiterate can u tell me where is heaven?
NO I CAN NOT
WHAT IS IMPORTANT ABOUT THE TRANSLATION OF ENOCH IS THAT IT SERVES AS A TYPE OR PICTURE OF THE GREATER TRANSLATION OF BELIEVERS TO OCCUR AT THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH ACCORDING TO 1 THESSALONIANS 4:14-18 * I CORINTHIANS 15:51 ET SECQT
David
We marvel at times at the lengths this so-called master-of-blog will go to in order to achieve numbers.
This known idiot, Georgie Porgie, has been shown as no more than a rabid dispensationalist in the service, pun intended, of things he knows not of as he ignorantly promotes Whiteness as rightness through a stinking bible.
Many here have shown Georgie Porgie to be unable to disprove central claims by those of us who argue persuasively that the likes of Georgie Porgie, or even the people who instill in him the nonsense which he propagates, that there has NEVER been anybody anywhere in these universes called jesus christ.
That his general narrative is a bad fiction.
That the likes of Georgie Porgie cannot independently prove that their non-existent savior rose from the afterlife. We are to rest of ‘faith’ that he and his ilk are not RH liars when we can easily show them to be.
In fact, none of the central claims made by Georgie Porgie can be independently certified. In fact, his book, the bible, is replete with millions of lies from the beginning to the end.
What David should be asking Georgie Porgie to do is to reconcile the internal contradictions between his so-called faith and the scientist which he sometimes claims to be.
And yet this masters-of-nonsense, sometimes called David, could muster the intestinal fortitude to draw this blog further and further into the province of darkness led by a devil.
For the lies this Georgie Porgie continues to propagate may he meet the hottest of fires in this life and Pachamama shall be eternally stoking them.
Given these circumstances, the myriad of unproven and irrational claims of Georgie Porgie, it is wholly disappointing that David could exhibit such a lack of imagination. But then again, David is as Bajan as apple pie.
@Pacha
Now you have relieved yourself of this burden Good Sunday to you.
Hebrew 9.27 says that it is appointed for man to die and after death the judgement
Jesus death was a symbolic towards the first namely death showning proof that man dies
Then why would Enoch escaped death even when Jesus in the flesh died
Isnt then not a contradiction as to what is stated in Hebrews 9.27 in that Enoch was transition into heaven without having to die
When we were at school in the 60’s we were exposed to, and we often quote SHERIDAN, SHELLY, SHAEKESPEARE, AND SCRIPTURE. In those days Mark Acts and a few other NT books were set books for the O level exam in Religious Knowledge
Some folk love and read all genres of litterature.
I love SCRIPTURE, STUDY IT and can SHARE that which I understand.
I am sorry that some do not share my appreciation for the Word of God; but that can not be helped.
@Pacha
Are you married and if yes the ceremony was in a Church?
Do not answer that.
If this blogmaster was looking for hits as you accused there are any number of topics like who sleeping with who etc. this is not the script BU wants to follow.
Capiche?

Good question
Hebrew 9.27 does in fact say that it is appointed for man to die and after death the judgement
Since men inherited the sin nature they all sin, and since the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23) and since all have sinned, all are appointed for the second death as taught in Revelation 20:11-14
Men who are unregenerated are all ready dead as is clearly taught in Ephesians 2 thus
And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
More on death later after I return from church.
re Jesus death was a symbolic towards the first namely death showning proof that man dies
THIS WORD SALAD IS RUBBISH. JESUS DEATH WAS SUBSITUTIONARY AS TAUGHT ALL OVER THE NT IN VERSES LIKE 2 CORINTHIANS 5:21, AND MANY OTHERS
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
SEE ALSO COLLOSIANS 2:13 et secq thus
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
RE why would Enoch escaped death even when Jesus in the flesh died
ENOCH AND ELIJAH WERE BOTH TRANSLATED AS A TYPE OR PREFIGUREMENT OF ALL THOSE WHO WILL SOON IN THE FUTURE BE TRANSLATED AT THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH, AS I HAVE ALREADY CLEARLY STATED BEFORE
YOU ARE EVIDENCING YOUR OBVIOUS IGNORANCE OF THE ROLE OF TYPES IN THE BIBLE AS ONE OF THE WAYS IN WHICH GOD REVEALED HIMSELF TO MAN AS IS TAUGHT IN HEBREWS 1: 1 THUS
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,’
David
Well! Who sleeping with whom is more culturally bound than this foolishness, led by a *unt.
Certainly, the script which you have decided to follow is more profane that those you have avoided.
We’ll answer. This writer supports both polygamy and polyandry. What the practice tells you to do is foolishness Not even the so-called ‘best of men’, your namesake, did not let them impose it on him. LOL
If you were really a real David you would do the same as well. LOL
You know what Granny would have said Pacha, allow your conscience to be the guide. Have blessed day.
Yes in order to know ..the bible demands seek and yea shall find
Knock and it shall be answered
No where in those comments does the bible relates to people as ignorant
The bible also states a kind word turns away warth
What is evident in your last comment is a continuation of your frustration while displaying an ignorant rebellious posture of those who would question the word of God
Hence your attempt shrouded in tiped wording to call people ignorant
I guess i had enough bible study from u for today and simply shake the dust off my feet and go elsewhere where light shines through the darkness
Have a bless day
re No where in those comments does the bible relates to people as ignorant
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE AND AGAIN EVINCES YOUR IGNORANCE
PAUL EXHORTS THE THESSALONIANS THUS
3 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
IF YOU WOULD CONSULT A GOOD BIBLE CONCORDANCE YOU SHOULD FIND A LIST OF OTHER VERSES WHERE “IGNORANT” APPEARED
Yes in order to know ..the bible demands seek and yea shall find Knock and it shall be answered
AGAIN THIS IS NOT TRUE. YOU ARE TAKING THIS VERSE OUT OF CONTEXT
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS IS TO BE FOUND AT 2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
OR 2 Peter 3:18 King James Version
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
MORE ANON
Interesting response _ the comment is indicative of the reality the many who attend Church and follow by rote? How does this compromise their faith?
ALL SERIOUS SANE SOUND STUDENTS OF SCRIPTURE STARTED LIKE THE SAINTS AT THESSALONICA OF WHOM IT IS SAID IN 1 THES 2 13
13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
eVEN BETTER THAN THE SAINTS AT THESSALONICA WERE THOSE AT BEREA OF WHOM IT IS SAID IN ACTS 17
11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
SERIOUS SANE SOUND STUDENTS OF SCRIPTURE FOLLOW THESE EXAMPLES

jesus christ! Is Cumberbatch not coming back anytime soon?
HERE IS WHAT PAUL TOLD THE JUDAISERS IN HEBREWS 5:12-14 ABOUT THEIR LACK OF UNDERSTANDING
12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.Y
Oh the bible categorically states not to be in judgement of others
I therfore say to u that your words relating to sanity defines your objective with an accord to berate with an all knowning presence of mind that questions asked of you would be judge and regarded as those evil and filled with insanity
Sir i would not stand in judgement of you but with every breath of my being and as recorded in the bible say unto u Physician heal thyself
@ GP October 20, 2019 6:17 AM
Of course you don’t know where is “heaven”.
For if you knew you would also know that Enoch was an extraterrestrial being who returned to his star system by the same type of spacecraft so primitively described in the book of Ezekiel or even the one which took Elijah ‘home’.
Enoch is nothing more than the Jewish story-telling equivalent of the Egyptian mythological character called “Thoth”.
He could have been also the mythological reincarnation of Hermes Trismegistus or even Zoroaster.
As a so-called man of science you must learn to stop believing in other people’s child-like tales. You ought to look behind the white-man’s blinds of fairy-tale telling and find the code of symbolism in order to get to know your ‘Creator’.
You can bet your last syringe that there is an equivalent euhemerized character in Chinese or Hindu mythology who came down from the heaven(s) to the planet Earth to save mankind’s sorry ass from self-destruction.
If only black people would create their own mythology of gods and great kings and queens similar to what the likes of you find so keen to peddle as Judeo-Christian brainwashing food for the BU children aka sons and daughters of their Sky God.
Now that you are holding “Sunday” School classes could you explain to the ‘Bible illiterates’ like Pacha why you so-called Christians worship primarily on that Day called “Sunday” instead of the day dedicated to the European Woden.
I have nothing to add.

I am hoping that Brother Miller is granted a weekly space due to His “large constituent that frequent the virtual space”.

@PachamamaOctober 20, 2019 8:26 AM “This writer supports both polygamy.”
It has perhaps been my misfortune that I have NEVER yet met a man you can optimally sexually service more than one woman.
And Pachamama, whether you are a believer or not, billions of people believe in God.
Human beings are drawn to religious belief just as we are drawn to light, to water, to food, to sex, to music. These things make us human.
So whether you like it or not none of these things are going anywhere soon.
The absurdity of what GP is expounding is that he contiues to teach on what he cannot be explained
The question on heaven where he states he knows where of.. is a glaring example of the sublime to ridiculous which is taught daily by people who profess themselves to be followers of Faith
@PresidentForLife, because you refused to come on over to my place and bring your friend.
The protocol for this blog is a very simple thing is it not?
De ole man DIES NOT LOOK AT ANY OF GRENVILLE PHILLIPS aka Iso TALIBAN posts.
Not one!
If I click and it is by Grenville I STOP READING!
My suggestion is that if you see this as fallacy etc, leave be, and move on to other things and leave us believers in The Fallacy to enjoy our Beliefs.
Simple
You have a way of showing that you are more of a simpleton than merely being simple.
The Afrikan philosophical construction gave birth to the god consciousness.
And that was hundreds of thousand of years before there was even a non-human called White people.
This writer is deeply rooted in that original construct.
Therefore, there is nothing about the origins and structure of a god consciousness that you can teach us.
It matters not to us what the popular belief systems are if they are informed by provable lies.
Yes, the world is still flat, according to you.
Freedom is happy to hear that the Blog master has allowed religious Post on Sundays. I am also happy that GP has been asked to do Submissions of a religious nature…Is that open to others to make Religious Publications on a Sunday?
GP we are admonished in the Scriptures to feed Milk before Milk and your first submission should not have referenced a Lost Book or one that is referenced to but not contained in the Bible. Keep up the use of Graphics. However I would like to suggest to stay away from such LARGE FONTS! I reduced what you posted to fourteen and sixteen font size New Roman to read easier and it is a Twenty Page Read.
Early Christian writers knew all about the book of Enoch: indeed, “nearly all the writers of the New Testament were familiar with it, and were more or less influenced by it in thought and diction,” according to R. H. Charles, who notes that it “is quoted as a genuine production of Enoch by St. Jude, and as Scripture by St. Barnabas … Its influence is apparent in no less than 128 places in the New Testament,
LOST BOOKS
The so-called lost books of the Bible are those documents that are mentioned in the Bible in such a way that it is evident they were considered authentic and valuable but that are not found in the Bible today. Sometimes called missing scripture, they consist of at least the following: book of the Wars of the Lord (Num. 21:14); book of Jasher (Josh. 10:13; 2 Sam. 1:18); book of the acts of Solomon (1 Kgs. 11:41); book of Samuel the seer (1 Chr. 29:29); book of Gad the seer (1 Chr. 29:29); book of Nathan the prophet (1 Chr. 29:29; 2 Chr. 9:29); prophecy of Ahijah (2 Chr. 9:29); visions of Iddo the seer (2 Chr. 9:29; 12:15; 13:22); book of Shemaiah (2 Chr. 12:15); book of Jehu (2 Chr. 20:34); sayings of the seers (2 Chr. 33:19); an epistle of Paul to the Corinthians, earlier than our present 1 Corinthians (1 Cor. 5:9); possibly an earlier epistle to the Ephesians (Eph. 3:3); an epistle to the Church at Laodicea (Col. 4:16); and some prophecies of Enoch, known to Jude (Jude 1:14). To these rather clear references to inspired writings other than our current Bible may be added another list that has allusions to writings that may or may not be contained within our present text but may perhaps be known by a different title; for example, the book of the covenant (Ex. 24:7), which may or may not be included in the current book of Exodus; the manner of the kingdom, written by Samuel (1 Sam. 10:25); the rest of the acts of Uzziah written by Isaiah (2 Chr. 26:22).
The foregoing items attest to the fact that our present Bible does not contain all of the word of the Lord that He gave to His people in former times and remind us that the Bible, in its present form, is rather incomplete.

Pachamamum,
Why do some Barbadians believe that the only way they can make a point is to maliciously try to denigrate and pull down their fellow man?
You have already been told, by a blogger who has no axe to grind, that no one takes you seriously on BU. Do you really think that makes you an “unknown” idiot?
The book that you described as “a stinking bible…replete with millions of lies from beginning to the end” still contains some words of wisdom and advice that are capable of making you a better person.
For example, I suggest (not command) that you open the bible to Matthew 7:5:
“Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.”
Read Pachamamum, read.
Simple
We are sure you would have found a woman who can ‘optimally service more than one’ man though.
That’s why we worship the woman as Goddess!
With the eternal expectation of Her allowing us into Her inner sanctum – the Heaven She carries.
A timely reminder of the golden rule, now repeat Pacha et al:
Do onto others as …
“Enoch is nothing more than the Jewish story-telling equivalent of the Egyptian mythological character called “Thoth”.”
Miller
There are many stories that predate Jesus but have striking parallels. I have read about Greek mythological “gods” whose characteristics and way of life were similar to that of Jesus, but their existence predated Him.
Dionysus, for example, was said to be born of a virgin on December 25 and, as the Holy Child, was placed in a manger. He was a traveling teacher who performed miracles. He “rode in a triumphal procession on an ass.” He was a sacred king killed and eaten in an eucharistic ritual for fecundity and purification.
Dionysus rose from the dead on March 25. He was the God of the Vine, and turned water into wine. He was called “King of Kings” and “God of Gods.”
He was considered the “Only Begotten Son,” Savior,” “Redeemer,” “Sin Bearer,” Anointed One,” and the “Alpha and Omega.” He was identified with the Ram or Lamb. His sacrificial title of “Dendrites” or “Young Man of the Tree” intimates he was hung on a tree or crucified.
The quick answer is no.
These are books not included by the decisions of men?

Of course not, you would not have met such a stupid creature!
Why would a ‘real’ stud of a man stick around a ‘woe-to-man’ who- like a black widow spider in heat or the female praying mantis in full bloom- is always flip flapping her chops hoping to clip the strings to his gonads as is her wont to do to little boys before reaching the eligibly castrating age of ‘exuberance of their natural violence’ called puberty?
In his rather ‘acute’ diagnosis, Dr. GP is right about you, the Sister Simple Sinnomor(e).
You are indeed the Herculean manifestation of the jack-ass of all trades under the Sun.
Even that of a closet native of the land of Lesbos pretending to be a serpent of the goddess of Misandry.
Jesus Christ Miller, well put!
But being a bible illiterate . i can look into the Word and find the answer to where is heaven

The problem with bible literates is they are confined and bound to a religion theologies and and doctrines while not yoked to spirtuality
To repeat, scroll by if you have nothing to add. We have believers, atheist and agnostics in the world. We all have a right to express our beliefs without hurling invective and vitriol. Unless we are so uneducated and primitive in outlook that it is part of our being. Let us hope the blogmaster does not have to expel anyone from Sunday School.
@ SirSimpleSimonPresidentForLife October 20, 2019 9:18 AM
“And Pachamama, whether you are a believer or not, billions of people believe in God.”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
And that is precisely for that reason why you must not see the Judeo-Christian version of Ra as the only big boy in the pantheon of the sky gods.
Just take a look at the halo which surrounds every image or depiction of these ‘gods’ in all the cultures of “billions of people” and see what is the real power of Light behind them all.
Another example is Zoroaster who was born of a virgin and “immaculate conception by a ray of divine reason.”
He was baptized in a river (water) as well as with fire and “holy wind.” In his youth he astounded wise men with his wisdom and was tempted in the wilderness by the devil.
He began his ministry at age 30. He cast out demons and restored the sight to a blind man, taught about heaven and hell, and revealed mysteries, including resurrection, judgment, salvation and the apocalypse.
Zoroaster had a sacred cup or grail. He was slain, his religion had a Eucharist and was the “Word made flesh.” His followers expected a “second coming” in the virgin-born Saoshynt or Savior, who is to come in 2341 AD and begin his ministry at age 30, ushering in a golden age.
Then there was Horus, born of the virgin Isis and the only begotten son of the God Osiris. His birth was heralded by the morning star, Sirius,
Ancient Egyptians paraded a manger and child representing Horus through the streets at the time of the winter solstice (about DEC-21). In reality, he had no birth date and was not considered to be human.
During infancy, Herut tried to have Horus murdered. A god told Horus’ mother “Come, thou goddess Isis, hide thyself with thy child.” Similarly, an angel told Jesus’ father to: “Arise and take the young child and his mother and flee into Egypt.”
Horus was said to have been baptised at age 30 and his.baptiser was subsequently beheaded.
He walked on water, cast out demons, healed the sick, restored sight to the blind, was crucified, descended into hell and resurrected after three days.
We question the authenticity of these mythological stories and dismiss them as untrue.
Yet, discussing the authenticity of the Bible, which contains similar, questionable events, is a taboo subject and an abomination.

Where is the Sunday School teacher?
Practising the faith is something that should be visible, Christians should be ambassadors of the faith by their words and deeded. Received this video on the weekend that exemplifies the point.
https://barbadosunderground.files.wordpress.com/2019/10/whatsapp-video-2019-10-19-at-6.55.42-am.mp4
Page 18 of the presentation skims the issue of faith. This is where the rubber meets the road for unbelievers. Here is a popular definition:
“ow faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” Hebrews 11: 1. Faith is the connecting power into the spiritual realm, which links us with God and makes Him become a tangible reality to the sense perceptions of a person. Faith is the basic ingredient to begin a relationship with God.
Why not post an intelligent or comment of value and be gone with the frivolous?
David October 20, 2019 9:45 AM…”The quick answer is no.”
David October 20, 2019 9:48 AM…”These are books not included by the decisions of men?”
If Submissions are Limited to One Person on Spiritual Topics, Why should you expect answers from those who participate here? Here is the thing of Freedom in Relation to Damnation…
NOW THE LORD IS THE SPIRIT, AND WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS, THERE IS FREEDOM.
Damnation comes as the result of not believing in the gospel (Mark 16:16), of not accepting additional light and knowledge, of believing in false doctrines (2 Pet. 2:1), of being slothful and having to be commanded in all things , and of refusing to humble oneself, repent, and live according to gospel principles.
To be damned means to be stopped, blocked, or limited in one’s progress. Individuals are damned whenever they are prevented from reaching their full potential as children of God. Damnation is falling short of what one might have enjoyed if one had received and been faithful to the whole law of the gospel.
“Damnation” is a term derived from the Latin damnum, meaning “injury” and “loss,” and often connotes deprivation of what should have been possessed.
There is so much power here in symbols. A water damn literally holds back water. Water is a symbol of life. Life as we know it on earth requires water. Jesus is spoken of as being the living waters. To be damned is to be stopped in our progression. It is to have withheld from us the living waters.
What does the living waters do for us? It allows us to grow, to become more that we were. To live and if we are willing, to evolve.
Who damns us? I suggest that we damn ourselves. The only one holding ourselves back from more living more life. More growth and joy and freedom and power to be whatever good we want to be, is us. Now it is possible to not be aware of our own damning choices.
We are free from damnation by first becoming aware that there is an escape. Jesus is that escape. he demonstrated that we need not be limited by our self-destructive behavior. Our limited way of being. He showed us and by so doing, gave us hope and faith that we might be and do as he did.
So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. — Matthew 17:20 (NKJV)

Just make your point and move on.Why must some of you make a simple thing so difficult?
.This message was given as part of a 16 WEEK summer series on Hebrews 11 by several men in my local assembly here in Florida
.
Hebrews 11 is considered to be one of the “great chapters of the Bible” and is also called “the HALL OF THE FAITHFUL”
In this study we discuss ENOCH, one of the 3 faithful men in the ante-deluvian civilization, mentioned in Hebrews11 and in Genesis 4 -8.
After giving the text verse 5, several ppts are devoted to establishing the context in which this chapter is to be found- The Appropriation of Christ through faith 11
With this background we examine God’s opinion of Enoch’s life in Hebrews 11 as it relates to the other references about him in the Scriptures in Genesis 5 & Jude under the following sub head lines
• HIS BIRTH
• HIS CONVERSION
• HIS WALK
• HIS TESTIMONY
• HIS PROPHECY
• HIS TRANSLATION
One of the purposes of this post is to demonstrate how certain parts of the scriptures are best studied by employing what is called the BIOGRAPHICAL METHOD OF BIBLE STUDY.
in this message, I was both teaching, and also teaching how to teach.

But being a bible illiterate . i can look into the Word and find the answer to where is heaven
The Word states that our bodies are defined as temple of God
Therfore in likewise manner therein lies heaven
THIS IS BOTH A NON SEQUITUR AND UNTRUE SINCE NOWHERE IS A TEMPLE HEAVEN.
A TEMPLE IS A PLACE OF WORSHIP- A HOLY PLACE
RE but first one must seek knock and all such manner of mysteries would be revealed unto oneself
INDEED WHAT IS REVEALED THUS IS ALWAYS RUBBISH AS IN YOUR CASE
RE The problem with bible literates is they are confined and bound to a religion theologies and and doctrines while not yoked to spirtuality
SERIOUS BIBLE STUDENTS CHECK THE ORIGINAL HEBREW AND GREEK FOR A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IS FOUND IN OUR TRANSLATED BIBLE
SERIOUS BIBLE STUDENTS STUDY AS ENJOINED IN 2 TIMOTHY 2:15 SO THAT THEY DONT TALK RUBBISH IN PUBLIC
Mariposa can also say that as define in the bible heaven can be described as the peace of God which passeth all understanding
Once again i reiterate that the literate teachers of the bible
are more concerned about the pie in the sky theology than connecting our minds body and soul to a spititual path which connects mankind to the Holy spirit
Understanding, Part 2: Faith and Hope
Building on what we know
Soon to be Published Part 1
For the scientific minds among us who debunk the scriptures and make light of them, here is one for you in the first verse of the Old Testament, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1) Did not Moses tell you in a few words: “In the beginning”? Here God introduces the concept of Time that is: the beginning. Then he said, “God created the heaven”, here God introduces the concept of Space as in heaven. Right after he said, “and the earth” introducing the concept of Matter. Thus giving us the dimensions we live in: Time, Space and Matter and that is only the first line of the scriptures! What else is there to learn? Roll up your sleeves and let’s get cracking with more important things like you and me. Where did we come from? Why we are here? Where are we going? Some of the methods, types and shadows: Baptism, Repentance, Death and Birth, Faith and Hope, and all in-between that pertains to us here and now. Starting with…
Faith: We all live by faith whether we admit it or not, we learn it from birth, allow me to explain.
• When we play with a baby and the baby sees us she is happy. If we try to play hide and seek with the baby, from the time the baby loses sight of us she cries uncontrollably and when she sees us again she is overjoyed and laughs just as uncontrollably. We do this not realising what is happening. The baby does not and has not learnt faith yet. After the passage of time the baby learns that when she does not see you that you will appear and you are not nonexistent. All the time previously the baby thought you were nonexistent because you were not in her view, she cried because she suffered a great loss every time you disappeared. Gradually she understood that if she has faith, you will appear again. By having Faith her pain disappears and she has learnt to exist for a time without her parents. As do we in this world.
• We as adults also learn to live by faith. Allow me to explain. Imagine, if you will, that you are thirsty and you see a tap and you are going to the tap to get a drink of water. Do you know that there is water in the tap? No! You turn on the tap and there is either water or no water. Either way you have acted in faith, believing there is water in the tap to quench your thirst, then you find out the truth no water or yes water. Let’s see the steps you have taken (1) you desired something: the water. (2) You believed there was water (3) you acted on your belief. (4) After acting on your belief (faith) you were shown the truth. The steps are (1) Desire (2) Belief. (3) Acting on your belief. (Faith) (4) Revelation/knowledge.
Understanding, Part 2: Faith and Hope
Building on what we know
Soon to be Published Part 2
FAITH TAKES YOU FROM A STATE OF NOT KNOWING TO A STATE OF KNOWING, REAL SIMPLE.
Faith is just a vehicle to take you from one state of not knowing to a state of knowing. But there is more, we have only climbed the first rung of the ladder, there are more rungs but now you know the method. This world is created/constructed so that we can only live by faith nothing else. Even the scientist who says he proves everything by experiments how does he decide what tests to try other than first believing that with this test he will know if it works? He first wanted to know, he had a belief, he acted and he learnt knowledge. It is time to see that everything we do is done by faith; that is how the world was constructed. (We walk by faith not by sight (2 Cor 5:7))
We sometimes refer to faith in a way other than what is described above. We tend to think of it as a set of beliefs as in, “what is your faith” using the word faith as a set of adhered to beliefs but the mechanism of faith does not change. Faith is the mechanism/method/procedure we use to gain knowledge. A point aside that may sound strange but when you think about it you will see the rightness of it. If after exercising faith and having gained the knowledge of “no water/yes water” we do not now need faith in that particular matter, it has delivered the knowledge we needed. We know for a certainty that there is “no water/yes water” we then are free to exercise faith again to learn other things. Please remember we have only talked about learning to get to the first rung of the ladder but to know another thing or the same thing better we still go to the first rung and then the second every time.
Hope: As I said before Faith is the vehicle to take you from not knowing to knowing, and now hope is the fuel that powers that vehicle. Who of us when we have been trampled by life only have hope to cling to? It is hope that gives us the get up and go when we have been chewed up and left at the side of the road, by the tragic stuff that happens to us all. We could not go on without it. It motivates us, it is fuel in our getting/goings. Hope is a powerful force, it is the stuff of legend; it gets us up when we have fallen, without it, why would you try faith? Faith without hope means that you have lost your pizazz. Hope is the fuel/energy that invigorates us to achieve, to see possibilities, to persevere, it is a sustaining power. Faith carries us there. Here again faith or hope is not the destination it is the makeup of the vehicle that takes/facilitates our getting to the destination. To complete the imagery, the car/vehicle that takes us is faith, the fuel is hope and the companion we carry with us is the pure love of Christ: Charity!
FREEDOM CRIER
RE GP we are admonished in the Scriptures to feed Milk before Milk and your first submission should not have referenced a Lost Book or one that is referenced to but not contained in the Bible
1 WHERE DOES IT TEACH IN THE BIBLE feed Milk before Milk (MEAT)
THE BIBLE DOES TEACH HOWEVER, IN I PETER 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:”
I HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED HOW AND WHEN THE MILK OF THE WORD BECOMES THE MEAT OF THE WORD
CAN YOU TELL US SINCE YOU KNOW IT ALL?
NOW WILL YOU TELL THE BLOG WHERE THE MILK PASSAGES ARE AND THE MEAT PASSAGES ARE ?
I PETER 2:2 IS A SIMILE WHICH BASICALLY SAYS IN THE SAME WAY (AS) IN THE NATURAL REALM THAT NEWBORNS DESIRE MILK FOR THEIR GROWTH , SO TOO SPIRITUAL NEONATES REQUIRE THE WORD OF GOD FOR THEIR SPIRITUAL GROWTH AS REQUIRED ACCORDING TO THE TENET OF 2 PETER 3:18
I HAVE A FULL LENGTH SERMON ON THIS VERSE THAT I WILL SHARE ONE DAY
2 WHERE DID I REFERENCE A LOST BOOK? I HAVE GIVEN A BIOGRAPHICAL STUDY OF THE BIBLICAL CHARACTER ENOCH.
DAVID BU PUT UP A PICTURE ABOUT A LOST BOOK, THAT YOU CAN NOT OVER LOOK..THAT BECAUSE YOU DID NOT READ THE STUDY TO APPRECIATE THAT IT IS SCRIPTURALLY SOUND
WHERE IS THE BOOK OF ENOCH MENTIONED 128 TIMES IN THE NT? ENLIGHTEN US.
RE The foregoing items attest to the fact that our present Bible does not contain all of the word of the Lord that He gave to His people in former times and remind us that the Bible, in its present form, is rather incomplete.
REALLY? WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE FOR THIS?
