When Being of One Mind is Mindless

A lot of Christian pastors hate the idea that God speaks to anybody but then. But it occurred to me that pastors don't much like the idea of Angels, guardian or otherwise, entering into the dialog. It struck me that if you were destined to go to Hell because in God's judicial oppinion the preponderance of evidence as he found it, was that you were not saved in your earthly life. I got to thinking, "Perhaps you could seek another oppinion, like from an angel. Jesus in the Bible said that the guardian angels of Children were "always in the presence of the Father". I'm not sure but does that mean that adults have "guardian angels" that go wayward, or only children are protected by angels at all? It struck me that if God ruled against you perhaps an angel or two might stand up and say "I know Joe Brown and he's a good man even if he never went to church or accepted your son". The angel might point to his job or work serving on the school board, or how his children were high achievers and well spoken of. But I got to thinking that part of the idea of "Holiness" is that there is no dessenting opinion about anything. In Moses' day if your oppinion varied from Moses and the leaders, the ground opened up and swallowed you up. I wonder if things are any different now. If God is as afraid of learning anything new that he doesn't already know as I think he is, his oppinion on anything might be like the Catholic Church five hundred years ago. You have "heretical knowledge" and that's the end of the discussion; you're going to Hell. I think God greatly fears that angels could be corrupted by the slightest bit of "sin", and by "sin" I mean erring in the slightest from God's oppinion on anything. Most Christian pastors don't like it when you speak in tongues in church. But at the same time that same Pastor may brag how often he himself speaks in tongues to establish his spiritual superiority. Being of "one mind" is nuts when that one mind itself is nuts. Since pastors regard themselves as perfect (and I've never admitted a pastor who apologised for anything) no wonder they say things like "look to me and not the gifts of God for the solution to all your problems. And by the way if you have any problems, it means you're lacking Faith. But at this point they won't say faith in "what" but only some Brand X generic Faith all christians are supposed to have, kind of like spiritual ritilan to keep them from getting out of line. They say God created variety but I don't see it in heaven. If there's any variety to be found it's mostly found in Hell because that's where all the people who express an original thought end up. Some may say "But there is variety in nature" but to quote from Jane Eyre, "We're not here to conform to Nature". Creation is largely seen as some gigantic mistake. A human being doesn't have the "out" that animals have saying "I do what I do because I have to exercise my survival skills or else I won't make it". Pastors want to be seen as the source of all good for their Congragation. If someone else has an origional idea to bring some new outreach program into that church, Pastors I know will be too paranoid to try it. This same pastoral trait makes Calvary Chapel pastors want to meet in the drabest of industrial warehouses- - the uglier the better because these people are even jealous of inaminate objects such as stained glass windows. They no doubt stay up at night with the frightening possability and some boy and some girl might have "hooked up" from attending his church.

In an effort to degrade angels there is one line in the Bible, in Hebrews, I believe, that states that blood washed saints such as Ted Bundy will judge Angels in the age to come. If Christians believe this one isolated verse over the rest of the Bible it means that angels are not perfect. If they are perfect as 99.9% of theologians say they are, then how on earth do we judge them. Some might say "Did angels keep bad things from happening to you in this life?" If I am to blame anyone for the lack of good things in this life I'm going to opt for Harry Trumans saying: "The buck stops here". Presumably God has that on his desk. He's the one in charge. He's the one responsible. If the world is predestined and the angels don't know it- they're just as much a victim of it as we human beings are. If anything I'll give my guardian angel a medal because I get the feeling if God had his way, worse things would happen to me. I get that feeling I tune in the Jesus Christ show Sunday mornings on KFI.

It is written in Genisis "It is not good for man to be alone". Many people consider their wives their angels or their "better half". Laura Sleshenger and various Christians who ponthicate a lot say "It is good for man to be alone". After all if Adam hadn't met Eve he'd have more time for religious devotionals and missionary work. That's what they always tell you when you're single.

Some wonder what "dimension" Angels exist in- if they do exist. As we have said countless times before in these blogs, angels and demons have immortality but "as for man himself he is dust and to dust he shall return". Some may ask, "Are angels like ghosts who drift invisably through our space?" There is one isolated verse in the Bible where a man is told to "open his eyes" and see that God's angels outnumber the enemy. But this is one isolated verse. I do not believe angels, if they exist, occupy our space. If they did I believe scientists would have proved it before now. They would have found a way to measure it. The Orion Federation uses the term "terrestrial" to denote a being who has gone from the sixth dimension to our normal space. (We have discussed this previously) If someone "appears inside a room" like Jesus is said to have done with his desciples, he did not enter by walking through walls. Rather he entered through a sixth dimensional "portal" and appeared. The Orion Federation refers to the sixth dimension as the "telestial" dimension. I don't know how any mortal could judge any angel because about any angel has been around a lot longer and has acquired a lot more knowledge and wisdom than any man. (selah)

As I have said previously- there have to be many paths to "finding God" because we all come from a different place. To say there is only one "path" to God is to say that all men are identical in their lives, their needs, beliefs, and sins It seems a point to pause on that in the Bible few men "find God" by going to temple or church. Indeed the "majority" seems most always to be without God if not downright wrong. God does not seem to require "credentials" in order to meet or be led by Him. These are my experiances with the Calvary Chappels and other churches. They may not be yours. I really didn't have anything else to blog of interest today. The news is rather flat. Those of you who watch Days of our Lives and think John Black's fortune may have taken a turn for the better- - don't hold your breath. Good things virtually never happen on N B C's two soap operas so I wouldn't expect them now. Too many peoples' lives are in ruts. If the ruts were easier to get out of, more people would. Those who do escape seem to develop amnesia as well as to what being in a rut was like. Medidate on this. A teacher with amnesia is of no use to any student.
