Who are we

Who are we?

I have seen so much bad publicity for the Muslims it is incredible the garbage that some people will dig up to discredit them.  For instance the last post I saw was about a father that caught his two young daughters reading a Christian bible and buried them alive, just incredible garbage that was not true (see hoax slayer).  If you believe Jesus is the answer than you should never sling slander at another, love others as “you should” love yourself.  People are scared and fear breeds mistrust, this is how civil wars are started, why you do you not trust your government (talking to Aussies now) to keep you safe, they have learnt over time to be very cautious but understanding and are doing a good job.  I feel a bit sorry for the Americans, seems they don’t trust anyone (and for good reason sometimes) I hope and pray that God will come into the country and help deliver them from that fear.  That’s the big problem for all of us, fear, all from Satan personally delivered to your door step, instead of drawing our family circle bigger (to include our neighbours/community) which is a Godly principal we lock the door and chain the dog to the door step (see where walking away from God gets you).  This has promoted so many posts about war but it is true, you can’t expect to welcome fear into the World without consequences of that sin.  So brace yourselves my brothers and sisters in humanity all over the World but remember God is in control.  Who are we to stand in the place of God, humble yourself now, otherwise we will fall.

Racism, Police Violence and ISL

We see so much violence on television it has conditioned ourselves to soften our view of it until it touches us in a personal way.  I personally think we have become a lot more paranoid about the World (foreigners) and therefore racism is raised, we know we all can be racist it is our human nature to exclude or attack which is not like us.  It is not just about black and white people, it also includes race, religion, sex and genetic build.  My own Christian beliefs states “Love your neighbour as yourself”, my Muslim friend said “A person is either your brother in faith or your equal in humanity”, both of these statements have one requirement, When you look in the mirror who do you see, the broken or the one God has said you are, if you are an atheist you need to see yourself as the person you need to be in society, come up higher and only then you can love each other or view each other as equal.  I switch to Facebook and more police violence pops up, my heart goes out to the families that have lost and I can understand in a small way how they must feel.  Then the following day the same video comes out again with new footage that shows the same basing or murder by the hand of people in charge, my heart gets harder towards authority, what this is doing is changing my attitude towards people who the government has put in place to serve and protect me, we are now divided.  There was a song buy the brotherhood of man “United we stand Divided we fall” our society is falling into the hands of criminals and ISL by over portraying the actions of a minority of evil doers,  yes bring it out but forgive, don’t repost (remake) the video and know not all in authority are like these people.  Do you love the people in authority or a harder question do you love the people in ISL, you need to separate the sin from the man, some of those ISL people may change their heart attitude and want to bring their families out of the hatred, I am not saying don’t fight, we must listen to our governments, if you don’t like what they are saying vote them out at the next election but obey them.

What are We

If we destroy our brain nothing of us remains. What of people who have Alzheimer’s, dementia or some other brain disorder are they still them?  If I had Alzheimer’s I may become scared at the beginning of the disease as I would still have the function of recognising something was wrong, I would still be me to myself but outwardly I would demonstrate a different man and no one would want that.  What will I loose or take to the next life, not these cells that make up my body they die all the time and I never notice.  This body that you are in will perish, how is it that when people have seen others in heaven that they have recognised them.  Your brain searches the neurons to find that connection then you recognise but people who have never known each other have found a mystical bond and later discovered that they are related, what is it, a smell, a likeness or a spiritual recognition.  Many have read about the transfiguration on the mount yet not many have thought, how did the disciples recognise Moses and Elisha (Mathew 17)?  Therefore someone told him not in words but directly into the soul of Peter, that these are the men standing before you.  Another example is Luke 24 13-35 they did not recognise Jesus all day until their eyes were opened.  Our eyes deceive us we cover them with our world and we cannot see what we are created to see, we block our ears with the noise of life so we can’t hear the whisper of God and we harden our bodies against the violence of the elements so we can’t feel the cry unto our hearts. Yet all these things will pass away, you have a new eternal body waiting, the real thing that is you, make it right, for this is only thing that you will take on in the next life.

What is Narco Money

"Narco money" is defined as currency obtained from the sale of narcotics

God will not give you more than you can handle

God will not give you more than you can handle, so where is this in the bible?  What does it mean?  Because my closest friend said this to me the other day and it is not right.  People often misquote this verse:

1 Corinthians 10:13

The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.

It is directed towards temptation not suffering.  More so Jesus said on the eve of his execution, "My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me." (Matthew 26:38).  His execution was more than he could bear.

It is written: Deuteronomy 31:6 New International Version (NIV), ^“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

God may allow more than you can handle but stand strong for if you cry unto him He will be there with you.  He will be beside you all the way and at the end when we endure under testing and trails we will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. James 1:12.

So next time a person is going through hell, say to them to call out to the creator our God who will never leave you or forsake you.  Tell them He knows your pain and it hurts Him too and (I hope you would say this and do it) I as a friend will stay by your side and keep praying.

Communism

So what are the protestors going on about in Hong Kong?  One question that I thought of “are they protesting against the communism” if so what is communism.  Communism (from Latin communis – common, universal) is a socioeconomic system structured upon common ownership of the means of production and characterized by the absence of social classes, money and the state; as well as a social, political and economic ideology/movement that aims to establish this social order (got this from wki whatever so send them a dollar).  I doubt, if this definition is true that there is such thing as a true communist state in the world (there may be) because the world thrives on social classes money etc.  The Australian communist party (disbanded) had such ideas as true equality for all including the aboriginals (before the other parties would let them vote), wow.  So they may not truly be protesting about communism, how about getting a vote.  China is not like America where everyone votes and the people standing is elected by everyone and the person voted in is a representation of the person on the street… or is it?  I look at Australia, if someone is elected whom the main political parties don’t like, they will disband them by interfering with their structure, everyone know this and it no big secret (we don’t think it is a big deal).  So what are they protesting about, I suspect they want more power themselves and think they may have their own social status lost as reforms are made.  Suck eggs guys life isn’t fair, it is just a little fairer than death.
