The Seal of God.

The Seal of God is non-violence.

Anyone who believes in non-violent methods is marked with the Seal of God.

And anyone who believes in love is marked with the Seal of the Lamb.

For God uses non-violent methods to overcome evil.

And God's inmost nature is Love.

And they sing a New Song before the Lord.

A song of Peace and Love.

".....and in their mouth no lie was found; they are blameless."  Revelation 14:5 (NRSV)

The Mark of the Beast.

The Mark of the Beast is violence.

Anyone who believes in the use of violence to win the day is marked with the Beast.

And anyone who believes in hate is marked with the devil.

And this includes religious people who use judgement and damnation as weapons.

"Then I saw another beast that rose out of the earth, it had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon."  Revelation 13:11 (NRSV)

The Republican Party of the United States uses violence, hate, and religion to win.

And the Evangelical Christians who support it are marked with violence and hate.

So do not resort to violence to win.

But cry out to God!

He will hear you.

The Collective Unconscious.

We are all interconnected.

And we are all connected with God.

The collective unconscious is like a huge net with a jewel at each node.

Each jewel reflects all the other jewels in the net.

And God is at the center.*

So we are all constantly affected by the perceptions of others and the perceptions of perceptions to the whole of humanity.

So we are never alone.

And we are never unaccountable.

We are part of a whole.

Just as we are part of our earthly environment.

What we think and what we do affects others.

And what they think and do affects us.

So stereotypes and prejudices matter.

They affect us and they affect everyone.

So do not cease to address people's negative perceptions.

We must change them if we are to be free.

Time.

The things I write about our society and the world are bound by the times that we live in.

The revelations I have received form God are eternal.

The Icehouse.

.....There's no love inside the Icehouse."

A Secret.

It's supposed to be a secret.

But rock musicians, celebrities, and sports men and women have sold their souls to the devil for fame and fortune and a rock star reception.

Their products are full of subtle sabotage.

They tempt you and corrupt you.

And they want your soul in hell.

Hence all the flames.

The death they push is the death to God described by St. Paul. 

But the devil is not real.

Their success is the result of talent and hard work.

But the evil they do remains.

They tell you to do all the wrong things.

From drugs to sin to hedonism.

The result is untold suffering.

Leave them behind!

God's Love.

God's Love is reliable.

Love God and love your neighbor.

Love even your enemies.

"There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, for fear has to do with punishment, and who ever fears has not reached perfection in love."  1 John 4:18 (NRSV)

God does not punish us.

God loves us.

And if we return His Love He will deliver us.

God With Us.

"God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them."

So do not go climbing mountains or delving into the depths.

 

God is on your heart.

And when we love God is with us.

Love God.

Put your trust in God.

The One who is reliable.

He who is true to His promise.

For He will requite your love.

And answer your prayers.

He will protect those who love Him.

And show them His Salvation.

Persecution.

Today Australia brought in sanctions against Iran for its treatment of women and girls.

However no action would appear to have been taken against Uganda and other African countries for their systematic persecution of gays and lesbians.

Gay people in Africa are being attacked in the streets, their house are burnt down, and complaints to the police are ignored or charged with offenses that carry life imprisonment or even the death penalty.

The situation in many African and Islamic countries is extremely serious.  

I call on Western governments to immediately sanction countries who persecute gays and lesbians.

At the very least they could fast-track applications for gay people whose lives are in danger.

We cannot just stand by and watch as gay people are systematically persecuted.

We must act!

The Lamb.

The problem with the Book of Revelation is that it uses violence to defeat evil.

This is in direct contradiction of Jesus who said not to oppose evil but to love our enemies and pray for those who abuse us.

Jesus is The Lamb of God.

A lamb is gentle and tender, even vulnerable.

A lamb is not violent or ferocious like a lion or a tiger.

The message of The Lamb is non-violence.

And so Old Testament vengeance and End Times theology are not in keeping with The Lamb of God.

    

God is non-violent.

Normal.

Strange as it may seem what we think of as normal is not in line with the facts.

Normal thinks that most people are trustworthy and that living is about work and money and real estate.

We worship celebrities and are addicted to sports.

We listen to rock music and watch reality T.V..

But the truth is that rock musicians and celebrities and sports men and women have sold their souls to the devil and do evil in our world.

They distract you and corrupt you.

They push sin and vice.

They addict you and turn you to evil.

And they are in league with corporate plutocrats who own our media and use their influence to control peoples' thinking.

This is a world-wide conspiracy to enslave the human race and create a second class of workers who have no money and no power.

They use methods from George Orwell's 1984.

And they create scapegoats and hatred like the Nazis.

In fact Joseph Goebbels would be proud of the way they have brainwashed humanity and subjugated us to their will. 

  

So when you think that things are normal think again!

Panentheism.

Panentheism says that God is in all things.

God is in everything and everything is in God.

There is no dark side, no death, no devil, no dark powers, no hell.

All exists in the life-force that is God.

And all exists in the Love of God.

God is transcendent - beyond dualism.

God is all Life.

God is all Light.

God is all Good.

God is all Love.

Good News.

God does not punish us.

God does not judge us.

God loves us.

He is our loving Father.

He loves us better than our birth-mother.

There is no devil.

There is no hell.

Sex is good - God-given.

Homosexuality is OK with God.

God is transcendent.

God is sublime.

God is all good.

God is Love.
