TC, I understand your point. Youre right, I Have been good at spotting inconsistencies and pointing out manipulations. Now, youre kinda wondering if Ill come back and report on the same thing being done in the Church. I think we all know the Word of God has been used as a political tool and that there are con men wearing the clothes and standing in the place behind a pulpit and selling their version of God to people, fleecing them.. Some are liars and know theyre lying, some are well intentioned, believing fully that theyre telling the truth. Im not going where Im going because Ive heard a preacher who tickles my ears> Im going where Im going for a multitude of reasons, but one, in articular, is that I have been VERY ill, near death several times AND I HAVE believed that IF I get in the RIGHT Spiritual place with God, THEN, the very nature of God will Force my limbs and body to BE in good health.. Today I spoke to the authot of the book Im reading and he said
"No, not NECEssarily so" And pointed out that Paul had vision issues and Timothy had stomach problems.. And we all know who they were and that their relationships with God were solid and complete.. SO,,
Healing is NOT necessarily a part of a good relationship with God.. BUT, IF He says he will, and he Does speak into the hearts of men, Then he will,, But, Thats Not the Only reason I have taken up this particular direction. Early in life, I wasd angry, and what I was angry about was REAL,, But, staying focused on yesterday's injustices only made tomorrow a reflection of yesterday and I couldnt move on in life emotionally and mature as a man while I was so caught up in yesterday.
Stepped out, laid that junk down,, Started focusing my natural curiosity on other things,, And remembered things Id seen as a child and started connecting dots and came to an understanding of the world not widely accepted and commonly denied... BUT,, KNowing that Did Not satisfy my need in my heart.. Something was still lacking,, and I saw peoples lives that just WORKED better. Id MET people whose face shone with a peace that I didnt have, but could see "from whence it came"..
So,, Im on a journey of discovery. Im looking into my heart and Im looking into as much "Stuff" out there that I can find that I believe is able to help me find the Way..I spent a little over an hour talking to a man who wrote a book I was lent by a young woman,, He closed with an invitation to call him with any questions.. I intend to. He is also sending me his second book,, and I intend to read that Actually, NOW that I KNow that Just because I grow and change and develop a real and right relationship with God Does not necessarily translate into being healed, I am in a Better PLace, because NOW when I pursue Gods will I am Without That Motive,, and if that needs explained to anyone, I will explain it, but any relationship pursued With a Motive driving it? Thats not okay,, and how anyone could need that explained is beyond me..
So, WILL I be reporting on conspiracies with regard to the Church? I doubt that.. Where Im looking and what Im studying I dont believe such will be revealed,, Im Not Hunting that.. Im Hunting something else..
