Luke 14:27,28
There is a Bible saying from what I remember about before one becomes a Christian first they should could count the cost – as it is not cheap – might be a warning in an oppressive time to protect others that might want to join Christianity but are afraid of oppressive powers. Was confusing to me to hear – Christians don’t want anyone to burn in hell, Christians would prefer everyone to join.
The Bible sometimes use parables and sometimes speaks directly. Always easy to tell the difference between a metaphor and actually is something? Moves Mountains with the smallest amount of Faith – potential for thought of how a child could move The World if they believed. I was thinking more literal Mountains for followers of Christ – Christ loves us, Christ is generous shares generously, hold the miracle wand to Himself? Metaphorically art could be used to stop a war, save a life, design new inventions all of which could be metaphorical mountains.
God didn’t give us super powers but gave us spiritual gifts – what is the difference? I am not exactly sure. Had some words I was about to say taken from me after writing that last statement. Remembered them – Gravity – God created physics, life would be pretty boring if nobody could stay on the ground everyone flew off in all directions – not to be confused with I want people prevented from traveling and seeing new places. I use I there because I am not sure what God exactly wants – I know men have potential to capitalize on what God wants and doesn’t want and that is not all ideal in a world of 8 billion plus with supercomputers that has potential to project where one goes and what one is likely to say.
God is forgiving, people are not always forgiving, Christians are supposed to be forgiving though they are sinful at times too, all built on systemic design that incorporates all three – makes it a bit hard to discern at times God’s plans from man’s. God knows the mix in, I don’t know the mix in, and He likely wants all to be happy I want all to be happy and free – all men might not agree with God’s plans, my interpretation of God’s plan, or even want God’s plan to succeed. Don’t worry have Faith in a world with evil that is full of people that project, misinterpret, miscommunicate, and have anxiety, health problems, other desires, goals, and ambitions. Finding win wins requires Faith yet I have felt like many times in my life I have seen false carrots.
Inspiring Faith leads to trust, potential trust in other men and women, trust in another men and women sometimes falls short in a world with evil in by design. God knows the devil, I can’t say He always protects men from the devil in ideal ways. I know there are LTIs less than ideals IBD in by design in this world and some of that is evil, some of that is other things that while not evil might limit good or help evil, not all of that is evil, God has the potential to turn things for good. People don’t always talk through things in my experience, try to have open dialog and invest in each other in ideal ways does not mean they don’t care.
Someone that doesn’t want to waste your time might not talk to you. Less communication solves some problem and has potential to cause more. Would be nice to live in a world where everyone could speak their mine freely, free of burdens and concerns, free of envy, strife, bitterness, and deceit? We might not ideally comprehend each other does not mean the pursuit of better communication is not a valuable one. Eden to out of it, we tried that didn’t work?
If God told everything about everyone to everyone else would anyone really need a reason to talk? Also might replace God with the word Authority in the last sentence or Leader – yet Authority or Leader required to be God seems less than ideal.
I grow off DA will of God from man’s perspective? True. We are called not to judge but we might say to another man you can’t have that, we use puns and metaphors and expect everyone to hear God’s voice clearly – God’s voice isn’t man’s. If one sets another man’s voice to God’s will trust it? I am not sure that is always wise for all parties or even the man himself as he is not God. Used the acronym DA to refer to district attorney – litigate it, analyze it assess it choose the best route while being apart of a system and design that is not always altruistic is not always ideal knowns.
The Church elders convene and decide how 8 billion plus people should act as God’s will, God’s plan, or men are given freewill, God’s voice is bigger than just what a group of Christians that want to invest in the Golden Rule, want to do right by others are capable of comprehending, analyzing, and addressing in ideal ways? Only the Catholic Church or other Churches, which Churches should be included and not included, God loves all His people, whoever is not against us is for us?
More than one flavor of Christianity has consequences I am not sure they have been ideally addressed as of 2025. The Devil might want to connect you to a plan that God does not want you connected to and men might be the vessels for delivering that plan, or at least that might be what is in the mind of the person trying to decide if they should or should not follow a particular plan. Easy to know God’s voice versus The Devil’s?
I speculate on reasons for mercy. My guess is per Luke 6 mercy will be given to the merciful. This document will reach a certain amount of people, not all people – some are in prisons without access to computers ideally God will factor this into blessing their lives.
James 4:17 be perfect and desire for ideal delivery seems impossible, nothing is impossible with God, God has potential to deliver messages in mysterious ways. I have also been in Jail, know that it is not ideal access to encouragement or support, or even ideal capacity to control one’s own consciousness – would prefer those in jails worldwide to have sufficient capacity to comprehend – nothing is impossible with God? I have Faith He has ways to work in ways I can’t see and I am also pragmatic – kicked us out of Eden won’t build bridges (literal) for us.
If I was Authority and I prayed for a bridge to be built using prayer here to represent the word said, delegated to other men and women and it was built I might think God built it – truth and non truth in that. Stones are God’s material, men and women are God’s material (vessels of clay)? It might offend non-believers. Worthy reminder stones are better for bridges, rocks should not be thrown at each other in the literal sense, metaphorical sense is a bit harder to catch. Stones as bullets or mean words, or no desire to work together and communicate? Allot of range in that.
