We once said that the origens of the Holy Catholic Church are like a black hole. No light gets out and you can't see in. If you travel twords the star your "event horizon" increases but still you aren't seeing everything. In your endeavor to see more you increase speed. But should you exceed the speed of light, you may not know it but now you'll be unable to get back. (This is working off hundred year old Einstinian physics and minus the advent of the warp drive or hyperspace) You didn't think it wasz possible to travel faster than the speed of light. If you were in ordenary space you wouldn't be but when you're in a Black Hole space distorts and stretches out. If you have moved past that critical retrurn event threshhold there is no way to "get back" and you're forever in the twilight zone. This is how a lot of Christians are to begin with. What price are you prepared to pay for learning the real "secrets" of Christianity, and were you so stupid as to think some "force" doesn't guard them? The Apostle Paul is about the only man in the Bible who even thinks he "might" have traveled to heaven. Even he is not sure. But he was given a "thorn in the flesh" which most experts agree took the form of some horrible tropical disease that would come upon him suddenly and cause his body to be convulsed with pain. Perhaps due to some poison which stays in his system over time. There are just "certain places I'd rather not go" if it means paying too high a price to learn its secrets.
But there are other dangerous event horisons. People say there's such a thing as the rapture where all the "good people" are removed. Let's for literary sake assume this is plausable. In this parior game there is some evil 666 government whose goal in this world is to get you to Volentarily "take the mark of the Beast". If you do of course you are damned to Eternal Torment with no remedy. You never know who is going to end up like that. There was a movie about Jesus that depictred Judas as the victio of a relentless government hounding him like white on rice with one ploy or another- - one threat or another- - if he didn't cooperate with them and Betray our Lord. You don't even know who is going to go up in the rapture. According to John Calvin that choice is exclusively up to God. There is no "ticket you can buy" to somehow "guarentee" your trip to "Dinner and a Tournament" in Heaven for seven years. You know- it's like "In the oppinion of the Chair- - the Ayes have it". God is "the chair" and if "in his oppinion" you're not good or holy or humble enough to go, then you will be LEFT BEHIND. Capish? It's all a crap game the outcome of which has been absolutely determined and trying to predict it is like trying to predict numbers on a roulette wheel. Should you be successful "too often" they'll only accuse you of cheating so what's the use? There's no way you can tilt the table or do something to "increase your odds" of being among the Chosen Elect. You either are or you aren't. Sorry to disappoint all of you who lost.
There are other "event horizons" in the form of dangerous people. If you have seen the movie "All About Eve" you know that Eve tried to get next to Margo, alias Bette Davis and "get to know all about her". But one day, like a virus, she just up and took over Bette Davis' identity doing her parts on Broadway. So the question is - - at one point is it "being nice to somebody" and when does it become the necessity of swatting a misquito before it turns deadly. Of course at Calvary Anaheim, there are pastors who are scared spitless of just this. There are people out there it's feared "might do their job better than they can". The pastors even have a name for them- - "Absolems", after one of David's sons. Consiter it a complement if a pastor turns paranoid on you. It says more about the Pastor's insecurety than it does about you.
But there are other more dangerous people. Some are merely annoying. I told you about a guy around here who is always wanting to buy and sell things all day long. He buys something then turns around and tries to sell it. It about drives you nuts. The question is when does such behavior cease to be merely "annoying" and become dangerous? In soap land there is a guy named Patrick. Patrick is a nice guy to lean on. A real hand holder for diswrought women not appreciated by their husbands. But Patrick can also turn ugly if he doesn't get his way. He becomes more and more poserssive of you. These people, just like Eve start off all apologetic and not wanting to offend you in the least- - and then one day they are like Black Widdows sucking you dry and giving you their deadly venum. There is another character named E J Wells. People think they know E J and can outsmart him, but he makes fools out of them all outsmarting them every time. Trying to outsmart Satan with scripture or prayer and fasting or whatever is folly. Your very attempt to "challenge" the Devil only affords another way for him to humiliate you and rob you of your faith. The same is true for E J Wells on Days of our Lives. Sometimes it's best not to make an enemy of a powerful person if he has done nothing to offend you personally. You might just discover he's not after you anyhow but somebody else. Think about that. Cops usually aren't after YOU unless you do things to act suspicious.
Certainly the year 2007 is an "event horison". We don't know what lies over the misty hill that is Newyear's Eve. I'll tell you this. If I hear one more time that Ford pardoned Nixon "for the good of the country" I'm going to gag. I guess by the same logic we should deny the haulocost ever happened- - out of a spirit of "Not wanting to rock the boat" or something. No. You don't call White Black, and Black White. Don't throw away your moral compus in an effort to "get along". Now we have a man as President and another as Vice President whom some of us don't trust. But we've "outgtrown" Watergate, out of a "spirit of healing and unity". Congress doesn't do that sort of thing any more. If you want a rug sale go to Washington because congress likes to sweep a lot of things under it. People want us to "get used to things" like Presidents who routinely abuse power. Compared to what George Bush is doing now, what Richard Nixon did was so paltry in comparrison it barely registers on the radar screen. Kruschev once said "When you live next to a cow pasture you complain about the smell, but you get used to it. Our mission is to get America to "get used to it". OK have your irradiated, genetically engineered dinner!
The following material was typed earlier today...
Jerald Rudolph Ford died last night at age 93 as the nation’s oldest President in his rancho mirage home of unknown causes. All of the reports had said he was on the mend. He was born in
Thom Hartman has gone a little soft in down-playing the Pardon. This was really a bad historic precedent for future Presidents and sends exactly the wrong message. In light of the violations of Ronald Reagan and now George W Bush, the offences of Nixon look paltry in comparison. It now appears that due to the precedent that Ford set, Bush, if impeached will most certainly be pardoned and nobody will think anything of it. It’s silly to say that “Nixon was punished enough” because Nixon was NOT removed from office. Technically Nixon wasn’t even impeached (as Clinton WAS). Impeachment charges were merely voted out of committee and it wasn’t by a huge margin, either. Nixon could, as President Clinton did, choose to remain in office and try to beat the charges. I don’t think he would have been successful but he’s a bit of a coward for not trying.
Last night you had this nerd seven year old kid on “House”, the program for quacks and those who love them. They do all these weirded out surgical experiments with people including destroying alien heart cells because of a “mishap” that occurred when the kid was cloned- - excuse me, invetro furtelized. He’s one of these people who has DNA from two different people, which I’ve heard of happening before. But the “alien” DNA is what makes the kid think he’s being abducted by space aliens and so the doctor has to purge the offending cells from his brain. I want to mention something I brought up on the blogs that may have confused family members. I said that as a very young kid I “had contact” with F S and also F H. F S was an entity I really didn’t talk a lot about over the years. But after the “heart attack” (?) of Richi Vallenz on July 8th. 1975, F H took over more of a position of leadership of CMK members. As you know from snail mail this group origionally came from
