What is a Klondike bar.. chocolate?

A klondike bar is an ice cream bar coated in chocolate. Their advertising slogan is "What would you do for a klondike bar?"

So if Eve sold all humanity into sin for a piece of fruit, wonder what SHE would have done for a klondike bar?

(It was sort of a joke, you see...)

The rich young ruler approached JESUS with a law mind set rather than realizing that he couldn’t keep the law perfectly and needed mercy and grace that only GOD can give.

Matthew 19:16-21
King James Version(KJV)

16.)And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

17.)And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

18.)He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

19.)thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

20.)HonourThe young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?

21.)Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

JESUS on earth was fully man AND fully GOD.The rich young ruler chose to look at the outward man when he approached JESUS rather than GOD which no man has seen and faith pleases GOD and since the rich young ruler looked at the fully man part of JESUS,JESUS sent him back to the law.

JESUS told him to keep the Ten Commandments and since we know that no one outside of GOD In CHRIST could keep the Ten,perfectly the rich young ruler would be not Inherit Eternal Life.

The deepest Bible mystery, is that if God created everything, then who created God? It leads me personally to think not of God as a person or entity, but as a container and part of everything, or in sci-fi terms the fabric of the universe. All the other ideas people have about God seem too poetic or romantic to me.

The Gnostics for example, regarded God as The All which I think is a nice way to put 'The Ineffable'. God is ineffable, and trying to make God an identity takes away that kind of, ineffable wonder, I think. Most often it leads to creating a concept of God in your own image, God hates what I hate, God loves what I love. And in that, people use God to justify their actions, God becomes an advocate.

Interesting concept, of coarse how God came to be is of a tremendous mystery, though speaking on the fibric of the universe you mentioned, the bible does give us a view of where that came from, basically His breath, like our own breath that is not really apart of us, yet we create a breath and can control how it is dispensed from our lungs.

Though God's ability is awe dropping in that what He creates from His breath, is quite the miracle I'd say.

I wonder if it was His Father's name..

It was never about the woman but rather forsaking God.

This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.And they which heard it, being "convicted by their own conscience", went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. Joh 8:6

I think "Where is the man?" is a good point in that parable. But stooping to the ground and writing on the ground, the lifeless, spiritless dust man was formed of was more the subject matter.

Twice he performed that before it seems the older and possibly more familiar with the scriptures in Jeremiah 17 left first, the younger following the older rather than following Christ .

It I think represented the fingerprints like in cement for the Hollywood movie stars as their own claim of fame. . They were convicted by their conscience or heart of natural man .Not a work of the Holy Spirit.

Their hearts remained hard not mixing faith in what they did hear and see as a witness against them .

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me "shall be written in the earth", because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.

I like that, good write up, especially the part of man formed from the ground. indeed that can be a symbolic representation of that as well.

I saw it that way also as a way of selling the truth (gospel) . What did Esau a marked (666) man get for a bowl of soup? We are to buy his truth and not sell it.

Here's the verses I mentioned about Jesus in the Old Testament and a revelation verse with it

Ezekiel 40:2-4

2In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south.

3And he brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.

4And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew them unto thee art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.

Daniel 3:24-27

24Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellers, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.

25He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.

26Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire.

27And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellers, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.

Revelation 1:15

12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

13And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

14His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

15And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

16And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

I'm interested in hidden gems, those deep meanings of scripture, does anybody else know any and would like to share.

heres one of my mine, about the naked young man who left his garment behind after Jesus was arrested, who was that young man, well the name isn't mentioned but I think the young man was (the widow from Nain son) that Jesus brought back to life. and the young man followed Jesus because of it. it was yet another example for the deciples to ponder on about the resurrection since they struggled with understanding it, Jesus did things for reasons and clues for it to dawn of others.


Clue, the linen cloth lying there.

John 20: 4-5
4 Both of them were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first
5 And stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.


Clue, the Deciples knew who the son of the widow was but didn't yet quite know why that happened.

Mark 14:52
52 but he left the linen cloth and ran away naked.


Deciples were present when Jesus rose the young man from the dead.

Luke 7:14
14 Then he came up and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.”


bonus clue, nothing is mentioned of Joseph after Jesus was 12 years old, he is not mentioned again.
i believe the widow from Nain account has a few meaningful messages from it. another message per say is Jesus himself rose from the dead of coarse, but another interesting detail in the account is why the widow's son, well on the cross Jesus said to the deciple He loved, here is your mother for now on. where was Joseph why couldn't he had done what he always had did.

because Joseph had died some point when Jesus was young, and Mary was a widow like the woman from Nain.

I have heard that there is a Jewish custom that the master of the house would fold his napkin and place it on his plate to tell those in his house he was not done eating and would be coming back to sup with them again soon.

I believe that folded head cloth was sign to tell the disciples I am gone but will return to be with you soon.

I have come across this too.. but never verified... little signs that we may not pick up on are there indeed.. to be honest I think we end up with more questions than answers yet like I said before enjoy exploring.. there is so much I want to write but I would go on and on it could be took as spamming hehe..

but it I was going to share this so love it when another brings forth something it means we are on the same page..

GOD bless.
