Do they have it backwards?

People have said I "speak to" the body and that others "speak to" the soul.  It is my opinion that "mind" is body, not soul.  The body is less than the soul. So then if correct, the mind is also less than the soul.   I think that because I have made people "feel" in their bodies without knowing in their minds why, it is their soul I speak to.  That is what I THINK I'm speaking to.  

Anyway, just call me misunderstood :)  

How again?

One thing on my walk got me thinking about being clear, the other one I want to tell too.

How are they "lovers of money"?  They project an image of being the opposite.  So I shall try again to be clearer this time around.  I have to believe God is love.  What is love?  Love is patient and kind.  It is not jealous, does not provoke (or be provoked, I'm not sure), I used to know this by heart.  I shall, I suppose, look it up.  Does not brag, does not "get puffed up", does not behave indecently (this is a clue for me, but that's not it), DOES NOT LOOK FOR IT'S OWN INTEREST, does not become provoked (that is why one should guard one's sense of humor with all one's heart and ability), it does not keep account of the injury,   DOES NOT REJOICE OVER UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, but rejoices with THE TRUTH.  It is not true that six billion hearts will stop beating. But they rejoice that they will be spared when that "happens".

How then, are they lovers of money?  The patience and kindness that are due their God, they give to their money.  Even though they do not have a lot of money to love, they love the money they have.  How so?  They say it is what identifies them as publishers of the Good News.

The other way my brain went this morning was how does the "recreation" add in?  I do not know but I have a theory which I will not throw into this black hole called the internet.  Matthew 19:28

Looking for love

There are  people who love me because I am their friend.  It is easy for me to be friendly.  There are people who love me but they do not know who I am. The spiritual me, they do not know.

I have found love.  God is love.  Now I must find righteousness.  Along with righteousness I must find meekness. Knowledge puffs up. It is why meekness must be sought along with knowledge.

Zephaniah 2:3
1 Corinthians 8:1

Cuter than my buttons

Eventually someone might say.  Oh no, if what you say be true, is there any HOPE?  I have no idea, but I like the question.  If I was writing a book, I would write, yes, the writer believes there is hope.  Lots and lots of hope.  

Dead People Don't Make a Difference

When Samuel was manifest to Saul for consultation was he being taken out of Sheol or was it a trick of an evil spirit?

OR was he taken from the whole that is in the "past"?   If I was taking a test I would chose that one, but it wouldn't be on the test.  I wonder why?

<< 1 Samuel 28 >> New American Standard Bible

---

      3Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him and buried him in Ramah, his own city. And Saul had removed from the land those who were mediums and spiritists. 4So the Philistines gathered together and came and camped in Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together and they camped in Gilboa. 5When Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, he was afraid and his heart trembled greatly. 6When Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD did not answer him, either by dreams or by Urim or by prophets. 7Then Saul said to his servants, “Seek for me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her.” And his servants said to him, “Behold, there is a woman who is a medium at En-dor.”

      8Then Saul disguised himself by putting on other clothes, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night; and he said, “Conjure up for me, please, and bring up for me whom I shall name to you.” 9But the woman said to him, “Behold, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who are mediums and spiritists from the land. Why are you then laying a snare for my life to bring about my death?”10Saul vowed to her by the LORD, saying, “As the LORD lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this thing.”11Then the woman said, “Whom shall I bring up for you?” And he said, “Bring up Samuel for me.” 12When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, “Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul.” 13The king said to her, “Do not be afraid; but what do you see?” And the woman said to Saul, “I see a divine being coming up out of the earth.” 14He said to her, “What is his form?” And she said, “An old man is coming up, and he is wrapped with a robe.” And Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground and did homage.

      15Then Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” And Saul answered, “I am greatly distressed; for the Philistines are waging war against me, and God has departed from me and no longer answers me, either through prophets or by dreams; therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I should do.” 16Samuel said, “Why then do you ask me, since the LORD has departed from you and has become your adversary? 17“The LORD has done accordingly as He spoke through me; for the LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, to David. 18“As you did not obey the LORD and did not execute His fierce wrath on Amalek, so the LORD has done this thing to you this day. 19“Moreover the LORD will also give over Israel along with you into the hands of the Philistines, therefore tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. Indeed the LORD will give over the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines!”

One more thing

Anyone in it for what they can get is siding with the god Baal, because that's what it means.  It doesn't really matter who they say they worship.  It doesn't even matter if they are atheists.  Atheism is no place to hide.  Neither is Christianity a place to hide.  Ecclesiastes says at 9:2 "it is the same for all".

What's in it for me?

That is where World took a wrong turn.
It is why people can't hear.  The answer is nothing but your life.  Because reality is not a bunch of little pieces. It is a WHOLE THING.  And the WHOLE THING is coming to an end.  How do I know?  Because God's will has not been done.  1 Timothy 2:4

7Go then, eat your bread in happiness and drink your wine with a cheerful heart; for God has already approved your works. 8Let your clothes be white all the time, and let not oil be lacking on your head. 9Enjoy life with the woman whom you love all the days of your fleeting life which He has given to you under the sun; for this is your reward in life and in your toil in which you have labored under the sun.
