'You probably already know that the Bible was originally written to someone else who:
1. lived a long time ago,
2. in another part of the world,
3. where they spoke a different language,
4. and had different cultural values.
'A word that captures one of the greatest challenges and frustrations in Bible interpretation is distance. There are four aspects to this distance: time, geography, language, and cultural values. Being aware of these is a critical step toward interpreting the Bible correctly.'
'Without spiritual enlightenment and/or discernment, mankind of today has brought forth great worldliness
that has fragmented the intended meaning and purpose of the inspired teachings of the Jesus Christ
of another time, and far away from...here in the now.'

"The reason people will accept an untruth, falseness or a myth sooner than the Truth is that if they
accept the Truth then they must also accept the responsibilities that the Truth attends."
Ponder this carefully!
'Many there are that are surely harboring great worldly delusional concepts that hinders
lost souls from attaining a rightful relationship with God's spirit.'

"With the continuous 'bombardment' of flagrant and reckless language coming forth from
'proclaimed Christians,' there can surely be little hope of any chance of acquiring any kind of
worthy unity of earnest and sincere Christian love, as so appeared the thought of Christ our Lord God."
'With help of the 'wireless', now the adversary is free for open rebellion to continue with the onslaught of
untold worldliness, leaving lost souls at the mercy of foolish delusional man mind 'thinking'.
But then, when the inspired warnings are discarded, the 'great falling away from God' shall surely
become more prevalent...here in the now.'

"Being in God's care shall not be what many make claim of."

"I came to share, and often truth shall be tough to accept...
often reasoning being, some will accept an untruth, falseness or a myth sooner than the Truth... is that if they
accept the Truth, then they must also accept the responsibilities that the Truth attends."
And surely there being those that are not even capable of acknowledging and/or honestly accepting responsibilities...
Until one acquires the mentality to fully understand and comprehend purpose and reasoning of the inspired
wisdom of Christ...worldly foolishness can never replace spiritual truth. Many there are that are embarked
on selfish self centered agendas that forever shall bring cause of not entering into the Kingdom of God...here in the now...
and/or beyond this time of it all."
'I, you, and everyone has failed to properly conduct ourselves according to the inspired teachings of Christ. And His
promises stand accordingly, to the level of spiritual discipline and obedience that each of us strive to maintain...
here in the now. Promises surely to be void when knowingly been given the necessary instructions, but stubbornly
rejecting them and making up worldly rules of one's own desires.
'I can only be thankful of being in God's care, and strive to improve on my spiritual health each day, and in doing so...
hope of a spiritual eternity, here and beyond the time of it all...here in the now.'
'Following, being a lesson not to be taken lightly, for the "door" shall be "opened" and/or "closed" for all of eternity.'
'Let us ponder this, CAREFULLY...life being dependent upon one's own truth of reality.'
(*A metaphor is a figure of speech that, for rhetorical effect, directly refers to one thing by mentioning another. It may provide (or obscure) clarity or identify hidden similarities between two different ideas. Metaphors are usually meant to create a likeness or an analogy.
*A parable is a simple story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson, as told by Jesus in the Gospels. The word "parable" comes from the Greek word "parabolē," which means "comparison" or "illustration." Parables typically employ everyday situations and characters, making them accessible to a wide audience.
*The parables of Jesus operate within a well-known paradox in artistic expression. You can water down the creativity of an artistic message so that it becomes comprehensible for a wide audience, but there’s a catch. The more watered down the message, the weaker it becomes for those who have “ears to hear.”
*This explains why Jesus often preferred to communicate truths about God’s Kingdom in parables. The people who already have the message, who are already accepting of it—they’ll get even more.
~Spiritually Inspired~
*For those who won’t accept Jesus’ message, the parables will only further confound them. His message, like Isaiah’s, had a paradoxical effect on his listeners. The power of stories—even cryptic, metaphorical ones—will penetrate the hearts of some while hardening the hearts of others.

'Many times on this spiritual journey, I came to rely on God's strength and wisdom to carry
me through some difficulties...believe it. And I am thankful that I had this God awareness that
certainly allowed better actions than how my old life most likely would have been much different,
and not to my best interest.'
'And this spiritual awareness, I know it must be carefully incorporated in all my coming and going
in this restless world, and relying on guidance of God's wisdom, I have come to know how profound
this being of great significance.'
'Ignoring this truth, I firmly believe many there are that are clueless to precisely how important it is
to earnestly strive for spiritual awareness and discipline in this restless world.'
"Without spiritual enlightenment and/or discernment, mankind of today has brought forth great
worldliness that has fragmented the intended meaning and purpose of the inspired teachings." 'Amen'
"Spreading and/or contributing to erroneous, derogative and intentional untruths,
only further adds to our nation's political unrest, and bringing cause of serious impairment
of strength or ability to function as a once looked upon nation of stability and integrity."
'Disturbing and purely sickening is any intended and/or unintended action or form of partaking
in unsubstantiated political jargon to disrespect or cause discernment, shall be surely considered
unpatriotic and a person with no citizenship integrity.'
'Journalism has become a free for all, no holds barred, for a paycheck and catering to the sinister
movement of ill intent, often with malicious or malevolent intentions.'
