Psalm 71
But as for you, teach what is consistent with sound doctrine.
Tell the elder men to be temperate, serious, prudent,
sound in faith, love and in endurance.*
Children are watching
What are you teaching?
Jesus said,
“If you continue in my word, and
are truly my disciples;
you will know the truth,
and the truth will make you free.**
Murmuring continued. Disbelief.
Lack of understanding.
Arrogance of bloodline.
Jesus said,
“I know you are descendants of Abraham,
yet you look for an
opportunity to kill me,
because there is not a place in you for my word...”
“..If God were your father,
you would love me,
for I came from God and now I am here.”
I came from God
and now I am here
her
here
It echos the song of fish
and birds and fish,
flora and fauna
insects and people.
We came from God.
As the prophet Isaiah said,
“Whom will he teach knowledge
and whom will he explain the message?
Those whom are weaned from the milk and
are taken from the breast?”***
I say maybe it is to the breast we must return.
Titus said,
“Older women teach what is good,
so they may encourage the young women ..
..so that the word of God not be discredited.****
Precept after precept
line upon line
The priest and the prophet
reel with strong drink
they are confused
they err in vision
they stumble in giving judgement.*****
Precept after precnt
line upon line , here a little there a little,
in order that they may go backward and fall.
Oh Lord Jesus Christ
If we must reutrn to infancy to be open to the
truth of your ways
Make it so.
For to build on the kingdom of death
kills you;
the proclaimer of love
over and over and over again.
BE BORN OH INFANT CHILD
COVERED IN LIQUID INNOCENCE
STRAIGHT FROM THE WOMB OF GOD!
BE BORN
RIGHTEOUS HOPE
MASTER OF GOODNESS
PROCLAIMER OF SANITY
TAKE HOLD
OF THIS WHAT IS LEFT
REMOVE THE SPIRIT OF IGNORANCE!
EYES TO SEE!
EARS TO HEAR!
THE TRUTH WILL MAKE US FREE!
** John 8:31 Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples; 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." 33 They answered him, "We are descendants of Abraham and have never been slaves to anyone. What do you mean by saying, "You will be made free'?" 34 Jesus answered them, "Very truly, I tell you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin. 35 The slave does not have a permanent place in the household; the son has a place there forever. 36 So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. 37 I know that you are descendants of Abraham; yet you look for an opportunity to kill me, because there is no place in you for my word. 38 I declare what I have seen in the Father's presence; as for you, you should do what you have heard from the Father." 39 They answered him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing what Abraham did, 40 but now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did. 41 You are indeed doing what your father does." They said to him, "We are not illegitimate children; we have one father, God himself." 42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now I am here. I did not come on my own, but he sent me. 43 Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot accept my word.
***/*****Isaiah 28: 5 In that day the Lord of hosts will be a garland of glory, and a diadem of beauty, to the remnant of his people; 6 and a spirit of justice to the one who sits in judgment, and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate. 7 These also reel with wine and stagger with strong drink; the priest and the prophet reel with strong drink, they are confused with wine, they stagger with strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in giving judgment. 8 All tables are covered with filthy vomit; no place is clean. 9 "Whom will he teach knowledge, and to whom will he explain the message? Those who are weaned from milk, those taken from the breast? 10 For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little." 11 Truly, with stammering lip and with alien tongue he will speak to this people, 12 to whom he has said, "This is rest; give rest to the weary; and this is repose"; yet they would not hear. 13 Therefore the word of the Lord will be to them, "Precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little;" in order that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

Monkey, (I don't ever like to put the "foolish" part of your name in there, because you're far from that) I don't know if I'm good, I just can't help they way I feel it is so deep in me and my love for God is so real, that I can't imagine if a person felt the way I felt that they would do any of the things that they do. It hurts so much....
I’m in agreement with you about BP, and I’m also quite concerned about the WAR in the middle east and the fraudulent science supporting global warming. Everywhere you look, you see hardcore dishonesty spewed out by the administration and world governments. So YES, let’s start over. Let’s somehow return to the innocence of old and let something special happen again...
the church is the catalyst, the means by which you find communion. you might consider any other sect that offers you communion with Christ. and by communion I mean community - a community that gives you peace and hope if this one is causing you pain. the catholic church is a corrupt patriarchy. they can't help themselves. they love power too much. and we know... absolutely power corrupts absolutely.
my heart to you.
Monkey: It isn't just the catholic church, many organized places with power tend to get to complicated with themselves and lose their way. I'm not sure what I'm going to do maybe start my own!
The misunderstanding is about all those words -- and interpretations -- we put around them. We clearly haven't understood them, much of the time! (To me, he's speaking as a mystic... Words don't suffice for what He's trying to explain. But starting from there, we can here those words so much more clearly -- in our heart, of course!) Love, Julie
