Burst of Light


I have been probing for many years to understand better the confusing mystery and sort through all the false ideas about what really happened and why Jesus died on the cross. I am very familiar with most of the stock cliché's going around in religion about this and have very little use for most of them. They sound pious enough and can often be apparently supported with elaborate arguments and scripture references to tie their assumptions together. But all of them are generally based on very confusing or dark and false ideas about what God is like that I simply find totally unacceptable anymore.


But in spite of years of revising my mental picture of what God is really like and updating most of my religious internal library along those lines, the cross of Jesus has still remained very vague and confusing to me. Since I have completely rejected the notion of the cross being an appeasement for an angry God, pitting Jesus and the Father against each other, I have been left to keep groping around for better light on this subject.


In the past few days, for whatever reasons which I cannot explain yet, much of this seems to be suddenly falling into place. I have been discussing with one or two people who are open to wanting to learn more about this themselves and have been examining many clues and writing down what is emerging. It is a very exciting and compelling picture of what was really going on there. What I am seeing is radically different than what most all churches teach, but that does not surprise me in the least. What I have really been seeking is to discover how God views all of this and what His perspective is, because I know that will be much more congruent with His true character and will be consistent with everything else I have been learning about Him over the past few years than any other explanation.


I have not yet collected all my thoughts on this in enough of an organized way to be able to present it clearly for a skeptical mind. But I have been sharing it with a few who are willing to listen and dialogue with me about it, those who are hungry to know the real truth about God as I am. That has been encouraging for me and I am still open to allowing the Spirit to continue to teach me much more about this or correct my thinking if I am off base.

It Pleased God

Yet it pleased Yahweh to bruise him ; he has put him to grief: when you shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Yahweh shall prosper in his hand. (Isaiah 53:10) Examining this chapter from a larger perspective is like examining a building that has been dramatically remodeled from its original design, with new walls installed, doorways blocked up and new one put in other places to change its entire function and purpose. Yet by examining carefully the nature of all the changes to discover what the original layout was intended to be, one can begin to discern what the intent of the original builder was for the purpose of the building. When the original design begins to be recognized it can be seen that a great deal of effort has been exerted to obscure the original design by all the changes and alterations done to thwart the original purpose from ever being accomplished. This passage is oft...

Ohm's Spiritual Law

I recently began thinking again about how the laws of electricity parallel so closely to some of the principles of God's spiritual realities. I have thought about this for years and many things have opened up to me as a result of realizing that God has incorporated His spiritual laws right into the physical world in which we live. The more a person comes closer to seeing God properly the more clearly the counterpart reflective principles in nature reveal insights into unavoidable spiritual principles. One of the most astounding breakthroughs I have ever had in this area was when God took me quite intently on a two-year journey through the Bible pointing out more and more insights to me about the real truth about hell. I finally dedicated a whole web site to that subject but the underlying principles just keep coming up and revealing more and more things in this area. Finally a couple days ago I decided to go to the internet and refresh my knowledge about the formulas and laws ...

Vengeance

I recently began discovering some exciting things about God's vengeance. I could never have imagined that I would get excited about vengeance, but in the past few days I have done just that, but for reasons quite different than most might imagine. Let me try to share what I am discovering if possible. Your princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves. Everyone loves bribes, and follows after rewards. They don't judge the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them. Therefore the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, the Mighty One of Israel, says: "Ah, I will get relief from my adversaries , and avenge myself of my enemies ; and I will turn my hand on you, thoroughly purge away your dross , and will take away all your tin . I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you shall be called 'The city of righteousness, a faithful town.' Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her converts ...
