I guess that we
know why I feel the need to believe in something other than myself.
It is a missing part left out by our Creator. Out of all the choices
that I tried, and of the few that I simply scoffed at, because of my
level of intelligence. I choose the most
radical,..............Unbelievable,............Out of this world
choice that I could have made against all, or any levels of
intelligence that I could have possibly made!!
It
starts out with a book written by mere mortal men that say that they
had an encounter with a God named I Am that I Am. It's
starts out with a story of creation where the world was spoken into
existence, and everything in it. Out of the entire world there was a
garden paradise with only two people in it, and they walked, and
talked with their creator. His name was Adam, and her name was Eve. I
just have to put this in here!! ( Don't you know that she was the
finest woman that has ever been created since the beginning of
time!!)
Then a vandal that
had been a chief player in God's world that He had going on before
invaded the garden in the form of a serpent. ( Can you imagine a
stinkin' snake standing up and talking with you?) He lured the woman
into doing what God had commanded them not to do, and Adam followed
suite. God simply did to them what He had done to Satan earlier. He
booted them out of the garden!!
Now,........This
book goes on with several different incredible stories that do
stretch the imagination a bit. Stories of plagues hitting the land
of Egypt. Stories of the Israelite people stretching out a three day
journey crossed the desert to forty years. They made this trip
without any of their clothes, or shoes wearing out!! There were
bushes simply burning, and not being consumed by the fire. Walls fell
not by force, but by shouting!! Donkey's saw Angels, and talked about
it. Some dude named Jacob wrestled with an Angel. The Red Sea rolled
back , and let at least a million people cross, and rolled back , and
wiped out an Egyptian Army. There was a floating ax head, and oil,
and meal replenishing itself. Poisonous snakes went wild, and killed
several, and the ground opened up, and swallowed a bunch. Dead man's
bones came back to life, and diseases were cured. Lions mouths were
closed, and a man survived for three days in a fish belly. Then 400
years of silence from God.
There were many
more stories that I could tell you about, but if you want to know the
details. I would suggest that you read it for yourself.
Now,............As crazy as all this sounds,,..................Just
wait until I start with the second half of the book.
Honestly,............It would take a person that had a severe touch
applied to them. Not in the head though...........It would
take a touch in their heart!!
The other half of
the story begins with a virgin giving birth to a baby boy. ( I would
hate to have even tried to explain that one!!) He grew up, and
proclaimed that he was The Son of God. That he had came here not to
condemn the world, but to save the world. Hey,......Wasn't this
the guy that was born in a filthy barn? Oh Well,.......Moving
along!! Water was turned into wine. Blind folks were made to
see. Dead people got up and walked. Lazarus had been dead for three
days, and came hoping out of his tomb stinking in his grave clothes.
Folks walked on the water. Exorcisms were performed in a flash.
Storms were calmed, and people were fed. Severd ears were replaced, and blood was sweated..... Jesus kept close company with a group of thugs that He called disciples. It was a good time where
ever Jesus wandered. He had to be the life of the
party...............To most people,.....................But not the
Sanhedrin.
Jesus hay day
ended when they arrested Him, and charged Him with impersonating God.
They beat Him worse than any human has ever been beaten before
without death occurring. They gambled for His clothes They slapped,
spit, cussed, humiliated, pulled hair, and beard, stripped Him naked.
They beat Him with fist, belts, whips, cat of nine tails, rods. After
all that, made Him carry the cross that would be the death of him!!
They nailed Him to
a cross with spikes. While He was hanging there in the sun they
mocked, teased, spit, aggravated, taunted, and probably threw rocks
at Him. They offered him vinegar to drink. ( When is
enough......enough?) Finally He said, “
IT IS FINISHED!!” He
then gave up the ghost.
Then
they say that all hell broke loose!! Graves burst open, ghost ran
around, the sky got dark, the temple veil ripped, the earth quaked,
and all kinds of chaos was going down!!
Now
that is just part of the story...................There is more to
tell, and I do plan to tell it in the next blog, or at least get a
good start on it!!
Have
I even answered my question I put on myself?
Yeah,..............I think that I did. Although, this causes
another question to arise. Do I really believe this ridiculous
story written in a fantasy book? It really can't be true can it?
Wouldn't anybody that believes this fairy book tale be subject to
incarceration in a maximum security mental ward? Just for the
pure safety of themselves, and others? I guess that we can find
out the state of my mental well being in the next blog.....
….............Much
Love
