The Naive and Unwise

Thursday, July 28, 2022. There is a concept of sin that exists that comes from the Book of Enoch, a concept goes contrary to most religions today. It is that sin was introduced into the world by fallen angels and they are responsible for the misery and destruction of humanity. The Book of Enoch was one of the most preserved and copied (valued) books by Christians at the time of, and shortly after Jesus' death. It is an apocalyptic writing and is the source of the fallen angel story. A few scholars such as Margaret Barke...

Trusting God's Word to *You*

Monday, July 18, 2022. Every time I have been alarmed about not accepting "the 2017 covenant", the words of scripture and Joseph have come to mind formed thoughts which brought me to peace and confidence in trusting God directly. I can't explain it in any way that would prove it to another, but I can offer the scriptures and thoughts that came to me, to do with what you will. Ask God for his word to *you*. I don't want to tempt God to give me a path he doesn't intend for me by repeatedly asking the same thing wh...

Linger

The wicked (who felt themselves righteous) held up those that secretly sought their destruction as heroes, honorable men, even philanthropists. They benefitted personally in their careers, social rank and national security (albeit temporarily) from ...

Gaslighting

Sunday, February 6, 2022. I was interested in obtaining a copy of the Restoration Edition scriptures. So foul was the taste in my mouth how the project was shoved in our face, I never considered it until now. However, I'm interested in having what they contain. I explored the store online and saw pictures of the palettes of scripture. They were beautifully stacked and appeared to be great quality. I saw pictures of the volunteers with someone I expected to be front and center. There were lots of options to choose f...
