Books, books, books, facts

There’s a book I skimmed over which had the warning that it wasn’t meant for those who cannot think on their own. Now I understand why it had that warning.
It’s just contra to what most of us know and hold true.
Not that sort of contra but it challenges what some of us hold as the fundamentals of why we believe what we do believe
At the end of the day I had a deeper insight as to why people have chosen to believe what they believe and why they feel strongly about their beliefs and ours as well
I’m just trying to be rational and not call their stance nonsense
Wow! -now I write politically
As I was saying, I now understand some written works and beliefs
It’s people who’ve got nothing better to do than poison simple people’s minds with untruths based on the vast knowledge they have
We all have some general knowledge about many things
I’m being vague
This is about religion and the Bible
Due to the sparse facts we have and the stories pedalled through generations we are all open to some sort of intellectual abuse
This is my view of how it’s done
Take the generalities and patch them together
You can patch them with what you want to also be linked to the widely held beliefs
Becoz one doesn’t have the 100% facts about their general knowledge and won’t bother to find it,
It’s quite easy to come up with what you’ll call the 100% fact book they need
And VIOLA!
We’re caught up in the web of trying to understand our beliefs and we don’t have a stand
Actually we end up not able to take a stand
There are so many of these people around with the resources to make their own facts and we end up one day coming across their work
Not many are as ‘nice’ as the ones with the book I saw and will put a warning for the reader
The whole thing about books and info now becomes a sort of “caveat emptor” issue, doesn’t it?
I ought to call this post “the grass is blue”
Tell as many people as possible that the grass is blue as many times as possible and it becomes well....a fact.

Reading

Take time to read the Bible
Read the book of Ecclesiastes

Treasure, treasure

"Be a spendthrift in love!
Love is the one treasure that multiplies by division:
It is the one gift that grows bigger the more you take from it.
It is the one business in which it pays to be an absolute spendthrift;
give it away,
throw it away,
splash it over,
empty your pockets,
shake the basket,
turn the glass upside down,
and tomorrow you will have more than ever." --Author unknown

The desires of life

I wish
You wish
I suppose
You think
I believe
You know
I need
You want
I give
You give
I understand
You comprehend
I grasp
You learn

Really, what are we doing?

Just one debt

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. Romans 13:8
The one debt that at the end of the day we'll all have is love
My study Bible says it's the one obligation hat we cannot get done with
I don't like the word obligated coz there’s a bit of force attached to the word
You’ve got to do it even if you don’t want to
Now true love doesn’t work that way
You do it coz u just feel it
It’s not forced
It comes natural

For me it’s quite easy coz I consider myself a natural lover
Yeah!
I’ve got it in tons & all I do is share it out
I don’t have to measure how much I dish out at a time coz it won’t run out
It’s always in abundance
It lasts forever
I ‘m now almost sounding like 1st Corinthians so I’ll get to why I started here
I was reading Romans 13-14 and 1st I got to the love bit and then the wake up came along
“that now it is high time to awake out of sleep:”

I had to show some love coz that’s the fulfilling of the law.
Love ya all.

Oh, is that so?

I'm really blushing & I do feel a bit guilty
Claiming 2 still be afire yet I've been asleep. I'm now awake
Going to a faster pc & show that n 4 real

i

I muse
I wonder
I think
I hope
I trust
But at the end of the day where am I?

I ought to talk
I ought to listen
I ought to share

That I’ve done

I pray
I rejoice
I forgive
I counsel
I comfort

Now I’m smiling.
