I think Lord of the Rings explains it very well. And the Silm chapter 1.

That's pretty good. I'd quite asking that devil anything, and I don't believe he is up in the sky. Probably your best friend telling you that to get a free meal.

I don't know about that, Mark Twain said the truth has to make sense, a lie don't. Our work is much harder.

You don't even have the common sense for such a discussion.
"Skepticism, or doubt, is always the first armor of defense against foolishness."

Very little faith, like a mustard seed, is a good thing. Any faith that can leap over any fact or reason with the greatest of ease is not really worth anything to me.

1) A whole lot of Reasoning with a little bit of faith

or 2) a whole lot of faith with little or no reasoning

You are allowed to choose for yourself, my friend.

Common sense would be if someone lies to you once, that should give you a hint.
Reason and a little good faith. Too much will make you a fool.

God likes for you to exercise your senses and learn to know what good is instead of having to be told by someone all the time...told what to do by liars because you have too much faith and too little reasoning.


Anyhow, that's what I think.

And I can see my own weaknesses glaring back at me. My intentions was to post what I had to say and get the heck out of here…I knew if I started posting to others, it never goes well for me. Too long in the wilderness, lost in thought.

At the end of Revelations you will find the wall that we now face, and at the end of all our searching and seeking this is the Wall we must bounce off of: “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still; and he that is filthy, let him be filthy still; and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still; and he that is holy, let him be holy still.” –Rev. 22:12


And then I spoke to the Lord regarding all mankind today: “Nobody should be that unjust, or that filthy, or that righteous, or that holy…should they?” Regarding that wall we are left to bounce off of.


And that I should give voice of that fiery furnace of affliction at the end time and the approaching of the final seven curses when we appear before the judgment seat of Christ: That every one may receive the things done in his body according to the things he has done. –2Corinthians 5:10&11 ie. Reap as we have sown.

Being the same as noted in Rev. 14:11 at a time the Number of the Beast is revealed…that they should change, repent, for God is only recompensing their own deeds upon their own heads…and I can’t be sure if God is doing that or they are just doing it to themselves, nonetheless: “The same shall drink the wine of the wrath of God…and shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.” And I take fire and brimstone to mean Hell on Earth. The seven final curses is their own doings upon their own heads in a final effort to get them to change their ways. That they may be refined into gold or cast away with the dross. That wickedness shall not remain.

I may be crude, I may burnout, I may have a meltdown, but am I insane? Just let the head doctor get everything I’ve posted here and take a good deep look at it before deciding if I am crazy or not.

And I am sorry I can’t do better in trying to express these things. I think the things I see being done today is enough to make any sane man crazy. And these things I've written here is a story I think needs to be told. These are those days.

-Rest in peace.

What wall are you referring to?




Just a side note, the book of Revelation never has an s at the end.

Yuppers! Even more it's biblical.


isaiah 45:7




I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.


Can't get any clearer then that.
