Apparent Application

How hard is to talk to someone on meaningful level without first trusting their person is well understood?

At what point do those rules of engagement change in our approach to a God that truly has been made "Lord" over our person?

Many people gauge others by way of their said "Agenda's". This is especially so across genders but that's not my focus. Some might suggest  a persons "Motives", yet what is truly being recognized when we say this?

Are we cross examining what another person wants or expects out their own life when we engage them in conversation or is it more about our similarities in case of our own unseen future need?

Many people fill their lives with other people and for many different reasons.

On paper this might sound like My barber or My mechanic, My friends or even My God.

Two people can have the same barber, the same Mechanic, and tell themselves they share the same friends, yet at what point does the importance of how all of the above also personally treat you stand in contrast to how "They" also treat others while under "your" observation?

That is suggest as if the Same things are on the table of consideration which also defines the "office" each holds?

A person can tell themselves they don't approach the Lord in much the same way, yet in terms of looking for proof or the evidence as something to be trusted, how long before the performance of God then gets catalogued in our minds much the same way?

How much of "You" determines the performance of any of those mentioned? You "Pay" your mechanic and your Barber just like anyone else so naturally because the same medium of exchange (money) is being expressed you also expect there to be no differences in those relationships/transactions, right?

How true is this with your God?

The same God you seem to have such a large difference of opinion about than so many others? So much so that you can't maintain a lengthy and meaningful conversation about Him with someone outside of your "understood"  comfort zone? That is to suggest it won't take long before you discover the vast difference of opinions which concern "Your God"?

Within this context how does the word "Same" interpret? What defines how "My" anything which finds its home in our lives?

Are we looking only to be in agreement with others OR are we diligently seeking the truth in order to be in agreement with the "Truth" and that with or without others being in agreement with us?

How important then does the outward "Demonstration" of one's faith then become?

Are we only considering a persons ability to pass judgement on themselves or are we worried their same inability to judge themselves will be superimposed on our person and how we get interpreted?

Is it only that we're weighing the "Balance sheet" as to how they've ruled their own lives or are we as believers looking for the evidence of the "Same" God that IS a dominate "presence" also in their lives?

To NOT be yoked to unbelievers truly is good counsel, yet it's often hard to distinguish as important in terms of how others allow their lives to governed AND what we try to compare our own lives to at the risk of becoming clouded as the result of being spiritually immature

2 Cor 6:13-14
As a fair exchange — I speak as to my children — open wide your hearts also.

Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
NIV

How clear does the picture of "Imperfection" then become in light of THE God you're trying to 'Re-present" to others? You can even set aside the word "Re-present' and substitute it with the word "Introduce" if you like.

How easy is it to misread the fear of rejection and confuse it with a godly fear of "Compromise"?

How much does the affect(s) the Holy Spirit has on you then become the essence of what You hope is then since seen by others?

How much of "Your God" then reflects on you when the Introduction gets made as if He is your Lord, God and Savior? Where does Appreciation, True Reverence, Gratitude, Honor and the likes of Respect then reflect on the Lord you now claim as "Lord" whom actually has become "LORD" over You?

Especially once you come to understand the word "Lord" to also mean one who dominates?

How easy is it to talk to someone that doesn't have much to say in return? Especially when we clearly understand that "Conversation" is the "exchange" of ideas as compared to the one way "Monologue".

If this were truly understood what is God suggesting below? How often is the occasion discovered in the context of all that defines "Conversation" when God does all the talking (Monologue)?

Have you ever examined the likeness of the word "Convert" and what most people hope takes place through the process of a healthy "Conversation"?

Isa 1:18
"Come now, let us reason together ," says the LORD.
NIV

Have you ever asked yourself or God, "Why is the reading of Job one of the least understood books in the bible"? Could it have anything to do with the element of time? Time as if a divisive distance which separates the understanding of two people?How peculiar is Job thought to be or even God when we read of God addressing Him directly?

Why do most fail to share in Job's understanding and approach to God in order to be able to relate to God as he did however many thousands of years ago?

I specifically chose Job because its widely accepted that the story of Job in the bible is the "Oldest" one revisited through its telling.

Why is God more often seen as a God of "Re-sponse" instead of a "Proactive" God that leads you? Lead you to mean "Lead you away from danger before a fall?

Many enjoy being picked up after they fall, yet how many resist proactive measures taken that look to "Prevent" you from falling again and again?

Sounds like a parent interacting with a small child that's learning to walk doesn't it?

Think about it? If you've prayed very much most at least know the Lords prayer which includes, "Lead me AWAY from temptation and Deliver me from evil", yet how do we then find ourselves once back our knee's asking for forgiveness?

Yes I know "We're all imperfect", but how many are even slower learners or even further rebellious or resistant when it comes to "Order" and our own approach to the way the word "Discipline" has been understood?

At what point does a child make the connection between earthly parents and a sovereign God? Does this suggestion ONLY mean Parents who watch over your physical presence (the physical address of your spirit and soul)?

At what point does the suggestion of a "Parent" interpret as someone who also has vision (one that can see)?

The world today has been caught up in the demonstrative power of "Apps". We use them on our phones and on our computers as if an instrument in order to help us not only interpret the world around us but often to guide us dependent upon the capabilities of the specific "App".

Some might suggest their introduction has made it easier to navigate this life. What is a "Navigator"? What is the operational capacity of someone or something that does navigate?

When something becomes "Apparent" to you what does that suggest? Is it only the matter that you can now see something you didn't before? How important then does the "Opinion" of another person then become as such that weighs in on what you can now see?

The opinion of the world around you would argue that "Religion" is nothing more than what your parents teach you. They taught you what they did because their Parents taught them and so on down the line much like looking down a row of fence post.

What the mind (influence) of the surrounding world is hoping to accomplish is to get as many people as possible to distrust their primary source of "Information". Information to suggest what has been formed within you as if Your "Opinion of the surrounding world" that you now have to try and "Navigate" as you grow up and move about in that world of ever evolving opinions that also cause people to do what they each do.

Just think if there was anything that also interprets as "Power" what if One entity could somehow gain control as if the "Primary" source where everyone is then "Informed" about the said "World" one and the same way or for that matter a billion "Different opinions" about the same thing?

Is it any wonder why the thought of being unique has been so seductive to humanity through his history?

Many people get the thought of being considered unique confused with thoughts of "Freedom". It's true that it's very hard to be unique in a controlling world, but in light of what I hope was conveyed above isn't the primary objective of Christianity about being ONE with God?

And if you resist the thought of being under the influence of any "Singular" (One) informing source, Truly what is the struggle really about in this life? Is it all only about what you do right or wrong? Is more about refusing to grow up in the ways of God? As if One way of life that will also lead you to become One with Him?

Is life and friendship and being unique only about maintaining freedom OR is about maintaining a rift between any two people so they can't compare their "Notes" they've taken through the years having personally observed you and this "World'?

Some might label this as "Power" or "Control" yet what is the difference in the mind of someone that deeply desires to be different than everybody else?

Have you ever seen what these police shows portray when two suspected "Perps" are brought in for questioning? What's the first thing they do to them? They separate them so they can't compare stories, right?

What's the difference in an otherwise good context of that same picture as one might see in a Jury deliberating room where 12 witnesses are sequestered?

Do they separate them or do they put them in on top of each other in order for their corporate mind to weigh the evidence? Do they also get told NOT to discuss what gets shared in that room with anyone outside that room before the judge hears their corporate vote cast in terms of someone else's guilt or innocence?

People are more and more suggesting, "Don't judge me" yet if that is true then don't ever sit in a Jury pool! You can argue your not judging while on jury duty, but you are weighing "Evidence" that speaks aren't you?

How much then does each persons historically formed "Opinion" count in a jury room or does it truly weigh out to be more about about how little each person understands the letter of the "Law" in terms of what is to be considered "Right" vs "Wrong"?

No names of faces being mentioned, but if subject "A" takes something that does not belong to them what is this subject considered to be based on the evidence? Are you judging the person or are you determining if something did NOT belong to subject "A" in order to render his/her actions as theft?

Notice there are No Names or faces mentioned below, only the verdict and the actions of an yet to be named being? Who then determines what "Evil" is?

John 3:19-21
This is the verdict : Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 

Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 

But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."  
NIV

If this process were to get corrupted, can you see why a defense attorney would never want any Two people that share the same views  to be in the jury room? How much more the consideration of any two or more also being devout Christians (firm believers in ONE and the SAME God)?

I only presented the courtroom setting as the venue to express my point because today there are so few venues where people are truly expected to sit in agreement outside of some labeled and presumed biased organization.

Lets review the heart of Christianity and see what's in that heart. This life and the experiential quality of this life has everything to do with "How" certain contributors OR distractions discovered in this life have since become "Apparent".

And what makes them "Apparent" if not the parental oversight of the "Light of  what is the "Truth?

1 Cor 6:17
But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit.
NIV

It's easily understood when talking about spirit at a pep rally where everyone is gathered as if for One cause. The type of cause where the winner gets determined by the Score Board at the end of a game,  yet why is it so difficult when we read about the spirit of Christ?

Does our spirit ever change in these type of venues or have anything to do with the rules of the Game or the Bias of the officiating crew on the field once the final whistle blows?

Everyone Loves their own version of the Top (winning) athlete's enough to where their Numbered Jersey's are worn around the globe, yet what about other winners we know?

Matt 26:64
Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied. "But I say to all of you: In the future you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven."
NIV

If you told someone you were a "Martian" what would be assumed besides the thought that you might be crazy, yet If you told them you were a Christian what gets assumed? Especially when life on Mars and a man named Jesus who walked on water are both doubtful in the mind an otherwise "Obvious" minority?

And truly what is the miraculous unless it's something that comes from the realm of what has NOT been clearly and mutually understood (accepted)?

John 15:21
They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me.
NIV

Eph 5:31-32

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."  This is a profound mystery — but I am talking about Christ and the church 

NIV

As if believers In Christ who ar supposedly One with Him in Spirit, we truly are without excuse in terms of what we say we can't see. 

Especially when we conclude among ourselves there is insufficient evidence to prove us "Right or Wrong" and that being determined by a Judge that has no Bias as it pertains to the performance of anyone One person except Christ.

God has gone to great lengths to put on display ALL that needs to be seen in order to understand Him, yet why does man keep messing with His "Display"?

The truth will be Your Parent, yet only when it becomes "Apparent" to you enough that you "Believe" Him and do as He suggest!

John 15:10-15

If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. 

You are my friends if you do what I command. 

I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. 

Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.

NIV

Opportunity to Make Friends

How hard is it to find a friend in a room full of known "Liars"?

I remember one of many times while lying to myself as if I was supposedly also "Growing Up" in the things of God when I would sing and try to stay in harmony with others, "What a friend I have in Jesus".

Only to "Eventually" discover years later my relationship with Jesus was a One Way relationship. One way to mean Jesus was the only in that relationship that had remained "Faithful".

Some might suggest "Well I'm sorry for you but I have many friends"?

My response would be "Are you completely satisfied with "Your" definition of a friend" or have you settled with the closest thing you can find that resembles what YOU have defined as a "Friend"?

How many of those friend(s) do you allow the absolute freedom to remind you of the faithfulness of Jesus who's also Your God sent "Savior" when "You" do fall short of being "Perfected" as if a representative of a "Good" friend?

And how many of those said "Friends" do you then rip to shreds when they do try to exercise that freedom when they "Try" to represent the Goodness of Christ in a NOT so comfortable set of circumstances?

Since this blog is a Christian blog I have zero expectation for those that have armed themselves with the mind that belongs to this world to then at randomly "Agree" with what I suggest.

Even greater I know Jesus proved while He also walked among men and did what He did while knowing He would NOT be received by His own.

Who are you going to believe when ALL wagers are on the table, "God or man"? Are you only content with what defines a friend as long as everything is headed in the same direction of  your personal "Comfort"?

And exactly whose advice was it that lead you into the comfort zone you now find yourself in? How long will that comfort last until something greater comes along you also DON'T understand which continues the disruption process of your comfort zone?

Did Jesus ever disobey His parents? Not in the context mankind tries to understand. Did Jesus ever shame his parents by saying and doing what was not "favorable" in the town? Your answer would be "Yes" if getting placed in prison and then killed for all the wrong reasons brought shame to your parents...

Is it even the "Right" question to ask "Who is the Only perfect person to have walked this earth"?

Would it be more accurately asked "Who was the MOST "Obedient" person to have walked this earth" which also made that man "Perfect"? And to whom was this perfect person "Obedient" to?

Why is it so hard for many to receive in their "Ledger" of the things they also are willing to "Understand" when God tells man "Your ways are not My ways"?

Is it that God's way is impossible or is He suggesting His ways CAN'T be your ways?

Think on these things this way, If not then why does He tell you to "Know Him" and strongly urge you and suggest that You obey Him? And what is divine "Wisdom" and what is Love in a not so obviously dangerous world?

Does man only think to the things God can do that man obviously can NOT also do? Things such as create universes? Create humans whom mankind will never completely figure out? Make a single kernel (seed) of corn produce more corn?

Why are there physical laws in place such as "WHY" does water that's not under pressure boil at 212 degree's instead of 150 or why does water NOT run Uphill? Do you simply accept such things and move on with your personal search for greater comfort?

Consider this as if an unspoken law at work among men, "Why does mankind Lie"? What does a man hope to hide through the use of words which do NOT "Promote" what is otherwise "TRUE"?

Can a man state a lie against what is so easily Obvious such as those things mentioned above? And that because those things simply are "Undeniable" and easily seen?

2 Cor 4:18
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
NIV

But yet what does that leave for the corrupt nature of men when mankind considers those things that are NOT so easily seen and accepted? How does this corrupt nature then view opportunity?

Jer 9:3-6
"They make ready their tongue like a bow, to shoot lies; it is not by truth that they triumph in the land.

They go from one sin to another; they do not acknowledge me,"declares the LORD. "Beware of your friends; do not trust your brothers. For every brother is a deceiver, and every friend a slanderer.

Friend deceives friend , and no one speaks the truth.They have taught their tongues to lie;
they weary themselves with sinning. You live in the midst of deception; in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me,"declares the LORD.
NIV

Once again why is the perfect example of obedience of Jesus so important in a world where God is otherwise invisible?

Are we only looking for traces of Jesus here in the earth? Much like two kids in the woods who leave bread crumbs so they can find there way OUT?

Matt 26:47-50
While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people. Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: "The one I kiss is the man; arrest him." Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and kissed him.

Jesus replied, "Friend , do what you came for."
NIV

Why won't believers let God show us the bread crumbs He's left when we read God oriented retellings in a book so many refer to as "Holy"?

2 Chron 20:15

He said: "Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the LORD says to you: 'Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's.

NIV

Who is this army and from what great distance have they come? How do you fight an otherwise invisible enemy?

Exactly how much damage gets done on Gods green earth by way of what a man can't see coming?

Eph 6:12-18

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood , but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 

Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 

In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 

Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. 

NIV

There is good reason the not so obviously anointed King David did not put on the Armor Saul tried to get Him to wear. It had nothing to with the "Obvious" fact it did not physically fit.

Why? Because God had already told "Prophesied" that His appointed King would come from the tribe of Judah and Not the tribe of Benjamin as was Saul...

Believing in THE God sent Christ is more than miming empty words you do NOT understand and taking a bath that does not make you clean on the inside. And where do YOU find Christ if NOT in You?

Trust in this saying, "Your God given New Spirit wants to be One with Him" even though the mind of your soul when tempted struggles with the desires to be one with this world.

The bottom Line there is a trial by fire and there is eternal destruction by fire, so choose the "Wisdom" of God and ask yourself in a moment of truth, "What does my faith in Christ Truly accomplish?

1 Peter 1:6-7

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

That the trial of your faith , being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

KJV

The "Time" Is fast approaching!

In terms of "Time" what is a generation? In terms of a generation how significant is the consideration of time in the sight of God?

Humanity has boxed itself in on so many different levels that it's hard to try and make sense of what God has to say on any given day. Especially when what He says gets interpreted as if something that's been fragmented by thousands of years of over exposure to humanity.

What I find alarming is when I hear some suggest that what God has to say needs to be upgraded in order to meet with the contemporary interpretation standards of today.

How significant is it when we hear Jesus say, "I tell you the truth" or whenever He begins sentences which include words such as "Truly" or 'Verily"?

When He does, do listeners hear themselves talking instead of the Lord as if "I'm not kidding on this one" as if to suggest He was or might have been joking about other things He's also said?

How easy is it to pick teams as if the "Us and Them"?

Luke 21:32-33
"I tell you the truth, this generation  will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. 
NIV

Matt 12:42
The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon's wisdom, and now one greater than Solomon is here. 
NIV

Exactly how many years separated the two events Jesus prophesied about as if something to be judged in the future tense? And how many more years separates the death of Zechariah and the timely people standing before Christ to whom He also spoke these words?

Would it be safe to assume that when Jesus is perceived as if ONE who speaks with authority He's also speaking as He does because He CAN see both bookends of time (Alpha/Omega)?

The same people whom Jesus was speaking to in this moment of time captured below were technically NOT alive (physically exist) in earth bound terms during the time period when Abel or Zechariah were murdered, yet He said towards those physically present in that particular moment of time "Whom YOU murdered" as if they were alive?

Was Jesus only looking to pick a fight OR was He truly One that could see the otherwise invisible battle front that is NOT between flesh and blood?

To whom exactly was Jesus speaking to? The enemies of God or to the flesh and bones the enemies of God had taken up residency within?

Residency to mean "Welcomed guest" that inhabit.

Matt 23:35-36
And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. I tell you the truth, all this will come upon this generation .
NIV

Have you ever asked yourself, "How can I (you) be held responsible for the blood of Abel"?

Even further evidence would be when Stephen spoke in the same fashion what he did under the "Inspiration" of the Holy Spirit.

Acts 7:51-53
"You stiff-necked people, with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are just like your fathers : You always resist the Holy Spirit!

Was there ever a prophet your fathers did not persecute? They even killed those who predicted the coming of the Righteous One. And now you have betrayed and murdered him— you who have received the law that was put into effect through angels but have not obeyed it."
NIV

And who is the father of ALL lies which in turn sires even more lies? And what is a birthed from the corrupted seed?

In terms of ones "Faith" how does a person grow and/or build on that "Faith"? As if something that does have value to God and man and that without the God of "Truth" being the author and perfecter of that same faith?

Is it even possible to have your faith increase if that increase does NOT come by way of the Lord? Wouldn't that depend on "Where" you try and redeem that same faith?

And who are those that are being compelled buy the spirit of prophecy that also find themselves made able to speak of what resides in the future if NOT those who tell of the coming of Christ?

Rev 19:10
For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy ."
NIV

When does the building begin and where does it end in the grand scope of humanity to include everything that gets handed to the next generation as if "Understanding"?

Is it even possible to find Faith, Hope and Love communing together under the terms of ALL that "Truth" is unless God is the One teaching?

Where does Line upon Line and precept upon precept come into focus in terms of the increase of ones faith towards God as if something that's being "Built" that also has value in the sight of God?

Many said believers are content with the conclusion that "God Wins" in the "End", yet how many forget who it is that God defeats as His enemies? Even further the seriousness of harboring a fugitive and his ability to influence as if one that has "Already" been sentenced to eternal Hell?

How easy it to sell ourselves on the notion that someone other than ourselves are the enemies of God? Why is always someone else's fault when something is NOT right, yet we find the words of God written to those who are willing to believe?

How hard is it to fight against an unseen enemy? As if something or someone whose defined shape and form outside of the scope of humanity has yet to be realized? Yet why NOT realized?

And who are those enemies and what is it that also defines and frames the enemies of God? Is Hell more than a picture (image) frame only after the fact? What type of frame captures the image of those who will end up in this desolate place?

Is it truly a mystery who does the rendering of such a picture? God paints the image, whereas He allows the image to claim its "Own" author (father).

How reckless of an act is to fund wickedness while on the payroll of mercy? How does that picture look in the eyes of a father that is also "Real" in terms of what believers "Hope" to find?

How long does a child knowingly go and do evil while "Depending" upon the forgiveness of the Father each time that child comes home with blood stained hands?

At what point does it become obvious this child has no respect for the "Hope" that Father has for this child?

Was satan and a third of the angel's simply cast into the realm of damnation the first time they acted without repentance? Wouldn't being able to answer that also require "Knowing" one and the same God that also created them who is "Merciful" and just?

At what point does the good father find the need to protect the other members of His household by getting up and shutting the door which opens towards His goodness?

Is there truly any risk when we know and trust that He "Knows" the true depths of the hearts of all the members of HIS household?

And what does the thought and hope of being "One" exemplify or cause to stand out in contrast so that it's easily recognized so all can see?

Have we mistakenly trusted the Father will never shut the door on his Hope? Does a true Father love one child more than He does the others or does He alone as the master of His house sit as the judge of equality, time and opportunity?

Rom 1:18-20
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
NIV

Once again, "Exactly what is a Generation in the eyes of God who created ALL things? Who are the enemies of God and what shape and form have they assumed?

Why does it appear so easy for the blind to lead the blind in terms of trust and how easy is to see why the blind bump into things they can't see?

Luke 11:51-52
Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held responsible for it all.

"Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering."
NIV

2Thess 1:9-10

They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of his power on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed.
NIV

That is to suggest the enemies of God who will no "Longer" have ANY hope of communing with God and to find enjoyment of the light that allows them to see?

If you were the creator how would you express such a concept to the ones you "Love"? And since you are NOT the creator, how could you show forth what "Love" is and does at ALL times without first being shown the "Way"?

It's easy to deny what your daily activities express otherwise by simply hiding behind, "How can I know because I'm not the creator" yet where does that leave you in terms of "Knowing" your creator and what He desires you to know?

John 17:3-5
Now this is eternal life : that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began. 
NIV

How else could you possibly suggest you don't know Him unless you also deny that He is responsible for the righteous judgement and the eternal sentence handed down to His enemies?

Simply put you can't have it both ways can you and that way for very long? If you were to believe God, what can be seen below in this passage?

Luke 16:26
And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.' 
NIV

What is a dependency upon God? Something that looks, acts and responds like a robot would?

Of course before you could somehow find yourself thinking like God you'd also have to deal with the thought that "God Is Love" wouldn't you?

How does the creator of ALL things have an enemy? Did He create them to be His enemies? Did He trust them to become His enemies or does He hope those enemies will find mercy instead?

How far into the future can a creator see and how far into the past?

Where does the beginning truly "Begin" or the end truly arrive especially when ALL things include the concept of what's being accepted as the limits of "Time"?

Why does man tell himself he's living "His own life"? Instead why doesn't man state it accurately, "I'm living in Time my own way"?

What is the difference between "Life" and "Eternal Life"? Is the latter simply more of or the continuation of the former? As such that is without some sort of "Change"? And at what point is that change defined?

Don't believe the Lie. You may have entered this world with nothing, yet you need to have more than your own "I DEAL" false notion(s) when you leave this world!

Be sure and make a note to yourself everyday that says, "Don't Lie to Me"! Put it everywhere you even remotely think you might forget....

Rom 8:23-25
Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? 

But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. 
NIV

Why does God tell man as if something to "Look" forward to? And how strong and influential is the "Promise" made by God in your mind and heart?

Strong enough to compel you to "Believe"? Will it prove to be such that has been founded upon the Faith, Hope and Love that only God can provide such examples?

And what is Faith in an "Unknown God" while here and how easily is it mislead?
