My take on it...

God might be the single most volatile subject on this planet, we fight over it, kill over it, and express our utter hate for each other with it. If I have learned one thing in this life, its that God isnt responsible for our paradigms and our pompous ideas about who He is, and who we see ourselves to be.

PLEASE don

't mistake God, or His prophets, or Christ's teachings, or The Word given to us from Him, for organized religion. Any time you put anything of Truth into man's hands, he will abuse it! So let's look at The Wordand let's look at Christ, and let's look at healing ourselves, both Spiritually and Physically. Leave all the judging to God, because all of us fall VERY short of God and have absolutely no business judging anyone in this life.

The description as per the encyclopedia

God is a deity in theistic and deistic religions and other belief systems, representing either the sole deity inmonotheism, or a principal deity in polytheism.^[1]

God is most often conceived of as the supernatural creator and overseer of the universe. Theologians have ascribed a variety of attributes to the many different conceptions of God. The most common among these include omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, omnibenevolence(perfect goodness), divine simplicity, and eternal and necessary existence. God has also been conceived as being incorporeal, a personal being, the source of all moral obligation, and the "greatest conceivable existent".^[1] These attributes were all supported to varying degrees by the earlyJewish, Christian and Muslim theologian philosophers, including Maimonides,^[2] Augustine of Hippo,^[2] and Al-Ghazali,^[3] respectively. Many notable medieval philosophers developed arguments for the existence of God.^[3]

IllI have to express God in my own way, in my own words, and through my own experience in this life. This section of the site attempts to articulate my thoughts and love for God...

Faith... is after all, a trust in things not seen. If we had all the physical evidence at our very hands, faith would not be required, and thus the link that allows us to embrace God would be meaningless. So physical proof equates to, the physical proof itself, taking away the very component a human needs to create a pathway to God, which is Faith, "a trust in things not seen". I realize the Bible was compiled a short time ago by men, but these men were gifted and blessed men on a mission; if you don't believe me, read their words, feel their hearts, and try to get past your own ideas so you can be open to learn from these men. The early Saints were men that changed the world. They weren't snake oil salesman or pastors in silk suites. They all gave their very lives for this Truth, and in most cases their deaths were as cruel as it gets.

Later on down th e road there were choices of what books to put into the canons; there had to be a text that would represent the whole. You have to understand, these letters and books that were chosen were a very good choice of text to bring man in search of his creator, and right to his knees in the prosess. Read the words and feel the spirit, and let go of the fact that men were involved with getting it to you. I mean, someone had to write it down. Birds have no hands and monkeys were busy swinging from tree to tree.

Spiritual Truth in my view really does light up the dark we in this world hold in such high regard. Men get furious when the Light hits them directly in the eyes and reflects the dark places in their hearts. They will lash back with the fury of hell if taken off guard and exposed to this light. The Word, The Scriptures, will pull us right off our soap box, and light up all the things in ourselves that we don't want anyone to see; nor do we want to see these things in ourselves either. The truth of what we are and what we do here on this planet is far to painful for any of us to get our hands around. We go through the days with good intentions and lack of knowledge of what good really is. We first have to become humble, then we can be teachable. Then we can see with a clear field of vision. The Scriptures aided me in this walk, and I'm one knucklehead for sure. So if Gods Word will change my world and heal my body it can do the same for you. But Faith has to be operating in your heart and your mind for any of this to take place.

We hold high all kinds of things here in this land in high regard, yet we overlook the history of this thing we call Christianity, and the effect it has on the human race - why? Because of what Men have done with this magnificent heritage; let's not hold Christ responsible for Christian's folly, greed and ignorance. Let's look at the gift of Love that has been given to us. Let's look at the door that has been opened up for us, and the potential for Healing and redemption that comes along with this open door. There's a paragraph in a great book of our age that goes like this: And I quote..."There is no greater ignorance on this earth than contempt prior to investigation." End of quote. You know you don't have to go along with the Church to study the rich history that is in the Old Testament, or the absolute Grace that is the New Testament. Read, study, search with an open heart and all things will come to you, in time, and if you're also a hard head like myself, then all things will come to you very slowly as they do for me. But God will speak to a humble man.

The Church...I myself don't like the judgmental, pompous approach the Church, or any Religion for that matter has deemed fit to take in the last 1800 years or so to it's people. Or the assault it dishes out to anyone that doesn't see things the way these organized groups of pompous men waring long robes, and tall funny hats feel they have the right to dish out. They establish paradigm's for us to swallow, and appear to have the very Truth in their hands at all times. It seems they all have the answers and they all have no problem damming everyone else to Hell that doesn't see things their way. This is not what Christ stepped up on the cross for. I also feel that the Church sometimes drives more people away from Christ then they do toward Him through their arrogance and their false view of Christ and what Christ did for us. Christ preached the Kingdom, he told us to go out into the world and preach the Kingdom, not rent a building and serve ourselves, and co sign each others Judgments.

To me, it's very appea

rent that this is why we have lost the Physical healing process, and the steadfast Faith of our saints of the first 200 years. But hey, the Church is just made up of people with all their own downfalls just like the rest of us, so what can we really expect. But Christ on the other hand, wasn't just a man. The healing were documented by some secular scribes of His time and there is really no question that He lived, healed many, and died on the Cross, and if you really look close you will see that he rose again. This was no mere man by any stretch of the imagination. This was the Son of God and one loved by His Father with all the Love there was to bestow.

Thousands upon thousands of men and woman were put to death by hanging, crucifixion, burning, and countless other creative means by Nero for following Christ. Why was that? There was no Church at the time, no politics at the time, nothing to gain but horror, pain, and the cruelest of means of death for these believers. Why would they just line up to be slaughtered like cows? Why would they endure such torture and such painful deaths? Why would they live in such fear, not knowing when their time was at hand by the Romans? It was because they saw something magnificent that they were to give birth to, something bigger then their own lives. Having witnessed this firsthand or having heard from their fathers that witnessed it first hand. They knew the Truth, and they knew the Big Lie too. The Truth illuminates the message that this life is just a short step to Grace, and the Lie is that this life is all there is. One perspective brings life to you, and the other one brings death to you.

For all you skeptics, there's a book by a man named Simon Greenlief. I think it is called, "Evidence of the Resurrection". This was written by a secular professor; I think anyone willing to turn their back to the history and the proofs of this subject without getting all the facts first, is short changing themselves in a most horrific manner. If you are so inclined, pick up a copy of this man's book and read what this man found as he was trying so hard to disprove Christ; it may very well change your life.

Science...I have looked pretty hard into the first 200 years of the Followers of Christ, and I believe that is where you will find the purest Faith and deepest love for Christ. Healing took place as a result of that unyielding faith men and woman had at that time in the history. Christ healed multitudes in front of many, although this secular climate of today says, "Show me the proof", none of these people crack a book open to find out what history has to say about it. They just don't want to know about anything that is going to cause them to seek a higher standard then themselves. Funny, every few

years we look back at science, technology, and so forth, and we see the obsolete science and technology from the years before, and say we have progressed. Then we view the former science as null and void, and no longer needed after progressing to the next level; in hindsight the former state of the art was almost foolish. That means our present state of science is also obsolete; time just has to pass by enough for the new paradigm to become old once again, and once again the new paradigm after becoming old will be deemed as foolish as the one before it. By then we will be onto the next self serving step to false Godhood. If we see our cutting edge creations and discoveries as foolish so soon after we discovered them, and so shortly after their birth, then all of our science and perceptions must be foolish. Surly they must seem at least humorous to God who sees the whole, as apposed to us who just See's things in such short increments... In Christ, love compassion, honor, and charity - all last forever, and never change. In human endeavor the very best can't last more then a moment.

Faith n Healing...These Books and Letters aren't just Books and Letters; they are a series of directions for man to find his way to God. In turn, we will also find our way to the Love of God, and then even the body may even heal from this Love; we will see a different world altogether and our bodies will relax with in this world for the first time since being slapped on the butt as we made our grand entrance into this strange place we try to call home. Then the body can heal itself. This is the best owner's manual, I for one have ever read; it brings to the table things like how and what to eat, ways to view the World through eyes that are connected to God, how to go about our business without hurting others, and an understanding of how our minds tend to collaborate with our bodies to do harm to ourselves, and our fellows alike. After witnessing Life through the eyes of Christ, the body will then relax into a healing state - especially once it has the safe haven of God's Love to fall into, instead of the constant assault of a view of the world tainted with thought toxins from every angle. We see things through eyes that are tainted with self-centeredness, greed, and the compulsion to make ourselves seem all powerful in our own eyes. We yield to no one, we see nothing but self in every reflection we create, our Idols have gone from wood and gold, and to mere reflective glass. Our minds focus on what information we can dig up, and or create to help hold ourselves up high in our own eyes, and the eyes of our fellows. All this worldly thinking not tempered by Gods direction can only breed anger, resentment, and discourse to a body that does nothing but generate chemicals throughout its system in reaction to our thought life. These chemicals unattended and tempered by Gods mind sets tend to destroy our organs while continually dispersing harmful hormones to our bloodstream at such a constant rate and duration that our organs begin to fail to do their job. DIS-EASE is the end result...II truly believe by changing the thought patterns through Gods Word and a sincere effort to change our natures, we can heal ourselves of all the garbage we have stored up for a lifetime that keeps up in a constant negative loop.

I have to tell you, I find it hard to believe that men have such a narrow view when it comes to Mental and Physical Health and Scripture. I listened today on the radio as a Physician tried to convince a woman in pain that medications are the only answer. Having had my own life saved through Prayer, Faith, and a complete change in everything from diet to thought, I was a little pissed as I listened to this so called Christian broadcast. Where is our Faith in Gods Word? Science becomes old hat in short order, every time. God's Word lives forever, and never changes its consistency. I have traveled this road of health challenges, and Christ heals through His Word. Where is our Faith? if we turn right to the drug store for each and every pain we stumble upon? I think our Faith in man's means of healing are blown way out of proportion when it comes to biology and science; we fall away from Faith and into a "half measures" state of mind, giving more credence to Science then we do to God's works. I view this as an idol, a stumbling block if you will, that man looks to himself for all the answers to all the problems he himself created in the first place. It all starts with THOUGHT - everything else follows. The body follows the mind into everything. Walk around angry, and get an ulcer, or heart disease, or colon problems. This I know first hand, and how it was created - BY ME. I know we are hardwired to thinking we're not responsible for what happens to us, or to our bodies. Just keep blaming the world for the outcome of our lives and nothing will ever change, and we will stay blind, deaf and dumb forever, paying with our health, our relationships, and the outcome of generations to come. The Word can heal a man, and I think we should take a step back from our current view and maybe promote God's Grace more and man's science . I realize man's medications have a place in all of this, but we were called to testify to Gods Word, not man's pharmaceuticals. I have done a lot of study and a lot of soul searching over the years and I found that Gods Word lasts forever. And mans knowledge is fleeting at best. I was led by my hand out of the fire in 2002, I was embraced with Love at a time when I didn't know how to Love, I was excepted by God when I couldn't except myself, and guided out of hell when hell was all I knew. God, through Scripture, led me to life when I was a dead man roaming this rock aimlessly looking for a place to hide from the light.
