While I was celebrating a Feast of Unleaven Bread dinner, a Holocaust Survivor, began a rant against the LIVING GOD OF Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
“Why should I server a selfish, jealous, maniacal, egotistical, self centered god? . . . . .”
I began a rebuttal with questions like: You should be able to fight your mother and your father, that gave you life and safety, clothed you and feed you and an education, and belong to a family, and . . . . .?
The immediate response is “I am just playing devil’s advocate!”
So here I am going to play GOD’S ADVOCATE!
Any person from this earth, is but the equivalent on an atom, compare to the Earth, which is a tiny particle, compared to our solar system. Another particle compared to the galaxy, and so on and forth.
Let us for a moment, assume that Carl Sagan was correct.
During a public lecture at Cornell University in 1994, Carl Sagan presented the image to the audience and shared his reflections on the deeper meaning behind the idea of the Pale Blue Dot: . . . .
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. . . . .
He might be correct, if he did not have a soul! But, that is the whole point of our individual existence. Is it not?
If you have a soul, it is not of this earth. Your soul is a portion of the SPIRIT OF THE ALMIGHTY, Creator of the Heavens and the Earth. HE IS THE LIVING GOD OF ISHRAEL.
With out that SOUL you really are just dirt. Therefore of no more importance, than any other lump in the universe. Gravitational value, speed and direction, with potential impact on some other lump else where in the universe.
If there is no god and you have no soul, then you are nothing! Got it? Nothing!
I tell you that this is not the Truth! Even as scientist are learning more about this world, people, anatomy, physics, astro-physics, biology, DNA, chemical actions and reactions, . . . . . We are finding that the creation by chance is such a rarity, that in numerical value, to be impossible to create by chance. This is true for making proteins from amino acids and peptide bonds, in the correct sequence to make even the simplest single working protein, where hundreds and thousands are required to make the simplest life form. The creation, maintenance, usage and disposal of all the proteins and other chemicals used to create a life form are in the billions of lines of code in the DNA, found in every living cell. These are only a few of the impossible, by accident, miracles that make up your life form.
Not an accident! Created! For a purpose. Every cell of life has a specific purpose and existence, accidents are removed from the system, by the system.
What we have been learning about the tiniest parts of life, have their counter components in the global, solar system, galaxies and universe. A designer, architect, builder and maintainer is in evidence.
It is not the LIVING GOD that has a problem, it is us! We are selfish, jealous, maniacal, egotistical, self- centered. . . . Desiring to believe that we can and should control what the CREATOR made. We cannot control ourselves or our existence. It is we that are valuable beyond belief, to our FATHER, but only The Creator and more valuable when we accept HIM as “my FATHER”, and do what HE says is right to do. Every one of us is given an existence and a soul to decide whether we are HIS or not.
With the simple rules HE gave, we would find our world a perfect place to live. How much more can you know when you get past the basics of this life and make it to the WORLD TO COME?
Do you understand now? You have a value only because HE says that you are of value to HIM. You can be one of HIS Children, but only when you accept HIM as the FATHER OF YOUR SOUL, Your Existence, Your VALUE. Having the same value as every one of HIS Children.
Why is there a world for us to inhabit? Why wait so many years, knowing that most of us will not accept HIM. Maintaining and nurturing every sinner, rebellious child? Because HE KNOWS everyone one of HIS CHILDREN, those that will return unto HIM and Keep HIS LAWS.Yet, every soul must choose and act accordingly. I believe HE is waiting for the LAST ONE and then a START THE WORLD OVER with HIS CHILDREN. (RESET- with a total destruction.)
Don’t have a Written Torah or Tanakh, try this one: JPS 1917 Version
IT is to your benefit to HEARKEN until the LIVING GOD OF ISHRAEL, and to your pain and shame to do otherwise.
If it is not already true, then My prayer is that The LORD grant you eyes that see, ears that hear and an understanding heart, then you return unto HIM soon!(Isaiah 6: 9 And He said: ‘Go, and tell this people: hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. 10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they, seeing with their eyes, and hearing with their ears, and understanding with their heart, return, and be healed.’)
My prayer is that The LORD grant you eyes that see, ears that hear and an understanding heart, then you return unto HIM soon!
