Jump starting our study on J.R.R. Tolkien, I am honored to present the Elvish voice behind Peter Jackson’s film trilogy of The Lord of the Ring’s, “The Two Towers”. Sheila Chandra, our honored guest, sang in Elvish ( Quenyan ) with Howard Shore’s score for, “The Grace of the Valar” a.k.a. “The Breath of Life” in “The Two Towers”. Sheila’s voice was chosen by the greatest film score artist and filmmaker of our time to convey the world of humans, the immortal elves, the love and bliss of such a union, and the harshest reality that one would age unto death and the other would not.

A short biography

WIth Indian Heritage, Sheila Chandra made her home in the United Kingdom.  Shelia’s talent spanned from singer, author of several books, songwriter and actress. Having been signed with Record Labels such as: Mercury/ Polygram, Peter Gabriel’s- Real World, Shakti/Narada, Phonogram, Indipop Records, etc., Sheila’s experience in the Music and Music Business world has established her as a seasoned veteran.

Top chart songs such as, “Ever so Lonely”, “Third Eye”, found on Peter Gabriel’s supported Real World Label: “Weaving My Ancestor’s Voices, The Zen Kiss, ABoneCroneDrone, etc.

My favorite song by Sheila was “Speaking in Tongues” where Sheila shows her extraordinary ability to exhibit an Indian system called, “Konnokol”. WIth her crystal pure voice, she rapid fires mathematical sequences like no other. One of my biggest accomplishments was to take a year to transcribe Sheila’s “Speaking in Tongues” and perform to her soundtrack with an indigenous Indian drum called, “MRDGM”. When talking to Sheila about this, she thought that was cute… (I blushed).

Epithets for angels, Satan, kings, priests, queens and gods

One of the earliest sentient cultures of great intelligence was the Kartuli culture. The Kartuli culture spoke a language that was shared with Sumerian. Kartuli language, or Kartvelian, is now known as the modern Georgian language. This shows you how old Georgian is!

This highly evolved (in excess of 300,000 years) Kartuli or Kartvelian  linguo-culture gave the Sumerians a meaningful relationship between nature and the heavens. Kartvelian culture made sacrosanct the Sumerian Language, culture and practices. Prior to the Kartvelian influence, the Sumerians, seemingly,  were just an agrarian culture.

One can see an ‘imprint’ from the Kartvelian’s language to the Sumerians when one looks at the etymological origins of Sumerian inherited words.  Such borrowed words are seen later in the vocabulary surrounding the Sumerian agricultural, religious, and political practices. That is, commonly observed objects with associative names from the Kartuli or Kartvelian speaking peoples, most certainly lent their vocabulary to the Sumerians. Suc examples of Kartvelian words loaned to the Sumerian vocabulary are: “xe”-“tree”; “Kakalli”-“walnut”; “Ugula”-“overseer/ “heartless”; etc. —-as we shall see later, are from a narrative —-i.e., a similar story to the “nag” or ‘ugly ones’ who guarded the Paradise or the ‘encamped garden’.

The beautiful language of Sanskrit has also been affected by Kartvelian such as seen in the word, “Angira”-“Angel”  (nasal + gutteral + rotex formula) shows old Indo European ties with the “Angelos” of the Greek language  and the Sanskrit, “Angira” -the  fire keepers/ ‘brazier (hot oven/ thing) watchers’, NG/ naga/ snake people.  The (non-mythological) Oxford Sanskrit Dictionary gives us many word pictures concerning these beings as, “serpents with  human faces”.  Once such being is the “Angarika” (masc.) – “charcoal burner”; “angarasa” – “fire keepers”. Whether placement of the -gn- or -ng- occur in the “anga” or “agni” to create the shape of the meaning of the Sanskrit ‘fire burners’.

I am beyond perplexed as to the Cain culture that travelled east of Eden into the Biblical Nod, if one is used to reading their Scripture as a serious historical and geographical reference. A major city just under 30 miles South-East of the 3 regions of Nod (Noqdi) do we find thriving Ardabil, Iran.

The 3 Noqdi or “NOD”:

1)Naqdi ya Sofla is 29,7 miles North-West of Ardabil

2)Naqdi-Olya is 24 miles N.W of Ardabil and finally

3)Naqdi-Bala is ca. 20 miles N.W of Ardabil.

One can see the Proto Aryan root word, “Nag”, carried through in the Persian. Other archaic Indo Aryan and possible Mongol, Old Japonic-Altaic words could and would retain such names as those of the Khan-ite clans as in Cain-ites. As Cain was given a mark that all men would know who he was and that he would be distinguished from every other man on earth it interests me to who these naga people are. It is of great importance to study the “naga” clans or naga people who keep a cauldron of fire burning day and night. Such a naga/ Cain-ite/ Khanite might represent something of the offspring of Cain as a cursed race. Was he a giant based on the sexual intercourse of a fallen elohiym? Was the Satan and Eve story another account of the ‘fallen sons of God/ fallen angels interbreeding with the Daughters of men (the Huwites/ Eve-its/ Chaiva clan)? Was all of the earth at this time an Eve culture without a Patristic warring leader? Was Cain the offspring of Satan and Eve (the misunderstanding of reproduction during this time of antiquity would have possibly played into the Goddess myths which gave way to the belief in Parthenogenesis {‘self birthing’} at that time, and the “Blessing” from either Satan or YHVH)? I think this is a possibility.

Another reference to the conjugal relation of Satan and Eve resides with the Sumerian text of Inanna and Enki where the Serpent-god imbibes a type of soma libation with Inanna or the Eve (“Life-Bearing”) antagonist of the story. In the story, such drunkenness led to coitus between the Sumerian Inanna and Enki (Eve and Satan)  in the story. Was this the Genesis 3 account? I find the ‘fruit’ of the garden to very well have been shared with not just Adam and Eve but of the Serpent-god and Eve.

I am beyond perplexed concerning the Sanskrit/ Rig Veda collage’ of ‘priest, snake, fire, copper, ugly, outcast, and watcher. All of these branding terms seem to fulfill an archaic-mosaic for me concerning Eden, the Fall, The Garden, The Cherubs, The Most High Angel that Fell, and the borrowing later of these signs, symbols and metaphors.

Similar themes of Enki/Naga are found in the Nachash in the Hebrew, with the name and function of the “Serpent” in the “Pairidaeza (Persian: “park land”)” or technically, the Greek which continues the Farsi: “para” = ‘around’ + “deisos” = ‘garden’/ ‘park’ = *enclosed garden*

As the “Cherub”, “Griffin” or “Kerabou” (gutteral + rotex + labial formula), or Chorobai as mentioned throughout Sumerian, Akaddian, Babylonian and Persian myth mention the “Guardian” as the hired one. He was the Watcher. The “Igigi” (eye + eye {or: ‘intense eyes’; ‘maloik’ or ‘malacchio’ in Italian}) in Sumerian means, “watcher”. Igigi also means, “to watch with rapacious eyes”. One might look to ‘rowb’ in the Hebrew for “the Raven” or “eye of the Witch” “Eye of Odin {Adon/ Adonai/ Atum Ra})” over Eve and Adam. These were the first two protagonists for the narrative in the “enclosed garden”. Norse myths are directly related to Georgian and Sumerian myths. It is a wonder that the Vikings spread such a relatable myth to the Sumerian tales and Biblical accounts. Such a beautiful tapestry of history and language!

Parallel accounts of the Biblical Sons of elohiym (earliest redaction of the Biblical account is found in Job 2 and 3) are the Mesopotamian creation gods-the Anunnaga (Enuma Elish/ An = “heavenly” / Naga – sons of An, i.e., Anunnaki) had their “fall”.

 

Hebrew linguistic cognates:

I find that the high and Lifted Cherub of the Biblical Genesis account became the cursed belly crawling “serpent” of the Garden of Eden after his dialogue and temptation to fruition with Adam and Eve. This very serpent was called in the Hebrew text, a Nachash (Nach-Nag). We see the Nag in India as having Serpent God parents who went into the sea, as their myth goes. We see the Nephilim in the Hebrew as the Fallen Ones to match that of the Giants who terrorized the earth. These Giants are also found in every myth, religion of antiquity, tale, fable that one would like to read about.

From a distant past we still retain a yezdi clan in Zagros Mountain region which would have bordered southern Eden in its day. They worship Melek Taus, the “Peacock King” or “Shaitan”. They say that he only wanted to be close to Elohiym, the I Am. As the I Am kicked Melek Taus off His holy mountain, he took of the angels or gods or elohiym with him. Forever worshipped, Melek Taus’ clothing, headdress, rituals, totem poles (Pole or Tree of wisdom in the Garden where the Shaman witch reclined) is found in the earliest Native American Indians.

Concerning the utmost antiquity of the Naga, Cain-ite, and Steppe culture Khanites

that I have researched, one can reach to the Kartvelian language (reaching back 5 to 6k B.C.) to find the word, *na-qsir.  Na-qsir means, “coal”. “Coal” was the term necessarily used in explaining the function of the ‘coal burners’ or “Angira” or “Angels” of the old world in the Northern plains of ancient India, Pakistan, and Iran.

The earliest Cainites did indeed smelt metals and work to make weapons and musical instruments. We do find his son’s name, Irad (“descended”; “fallen down to earth”), eponymously named in the very first city-state on earth, “ERIDU”. This city-state was generated by a secret guild of metallurgists who began the same production that they started in Nod or Noqdi. The ‘descended’ to an area between the Tigris and Euphrates. One can Google-Earth this area (just type in Eridu, Iraq). It is beyond haunting when the satellite’s view brings you down to a little square no bigger than a few football fields, yet, this is a remnant time immemorial—our very beginnings.

So, in our possible Satanic genes carried from Cain to us, wars Christ against our very urges every minute. Cain might be the generator of all Nations through his Satanic craft, though, practical and burdensome at the same time, his craft is handed to us to forge through this world. Funny how the Garden of Eden was ‘forged’ by God to retain Peace and it is in Cain that we bear the mark to forge those things which are unnatural to make a ‘living’.

Would it surprise you to also know that “Cain” meant, “Forger” (QN -Hebrew root: “to forge”, “to join”, “to smith”), or ‘one who is a Smithy’. I am convinced that the archaic Kartvelian gave root to the word for angel, for there is nearly nothing to be found on ‘angel’ in the Greek or Hebrew Theological works I have read that satisfy me. Such practices were done in secret and held as magical. Only a select few could be revealed this metallurgy for if fallen into the wrong hands, the enemy could learn to make weapons to fight back. Words to form images: “fire, seraph, six wings, flying, sparks, coal, Holy, Temple, God’s *Train*, veil, etc “ are ‘fired’ into my brain as were the ancients who thought in terms of images which carried their innate logic and not the logic of Aristotle’s deductive syllogism.

The all too natural ancient etymologies of God’s “epithets”

 

“Gud God, Holy Cow, What kind of Heavenly Cheese?

3 Main Epithets:

Epithet 1

“God”

Very early influences

With the etymological observance of the very ancient Kartvelian languages, we see Kartvelian languages as being a Caucasus parent language of the Sumerian language. Kartvelian is simply a ‘Proto-Sumerian’ language. This is to be distinguished from a “pre-Sumerian” language which would mean, by linguistic relations, the possibility to have no relation to Sumerian.

We see naturally binding relations between the two cultures and their respective languages in simple bucolic terminologies.  Such an example of this can be found with a pastoral or bucolic (Greek: boukolos = “herdsmen”, from “bous” = “ox”) term found in the Sumerian language for the word for bull, ox or cow. Such a term or terms is as follows:  “Gud, Gur, and gu4”.

With the influence of the already Divinely appointed sense to “guda” from the Kartvelian culture ca. 3,000 B.C., Sumeria was given an astronomical and astrological sense to its agricultural practices. The Kartvelian brings us the heavenly word, “guda”, =  (gud, gur, gu – the divine bull, sun and moon. steer, bullock, ox, “that which pulls the plow”),

We see the same in the Akkadian (MUL (of the heaven) GU (cow/ ox) AN NA (Heaven)= “the Bull of heaven”—therefore, “that which brings/ treads the Day”).

Other epithets that can be seen to hold the same function are found in the names:

UTU in Sumerian or SHAMASH (son of Sin) in Akkadian were Mesopotamian deities that were seen as part of a Trinitarian idea.  These two, UTU and SHAMASH, were seen with the Moon god, Sin (in Akkadian {Sumerian: Nanna}), and the goddess, Ishtar (in Akkadian {Sumerian: Inanna}) which is also the equivalent to the Roman Venus or Greek Madonna. 

Thanks to the Kartvelian world, we see many world  “Bull” myths that led to the first senses of “baptism” that might be related to the “christian baptisms” of today. Walter Dale did a wonderful treatment of the 6 main forms of ‘baptisms’ that the Bible refers to as priestly ritual washings, prophetical pantomiming-analogous acting, Johanine {John the Baptist’s prophetical and fulfillment to the Christ baptism}, ordinance of Jewish law/ Heathen lands/ dirt washing to enter into Jerusalem, ordinance of the land laws, Christian obedience to the Judaistic laws baptism, baptism of fire unto holiness {no water] baptism (plus the extra pagan rite baptism of the Bull’s blood which I believe is syncretic practice between ancient paganism and Israelite cultic practice). Such 6 ‘baptisms’ mentioned in his 4 volume treatment on “Baptisms” start with the ‘pagan-rite-taurobouleum’ or ‘bull’s-blood baptism”.

After Kartvelian influence, many Sumerians observed the horns, the moon, the maiden, the god UTU, etc. as collective symbols by which their culture’s “sense” of well being between farming, God, sex, procreation, birthing, neighbors, etc. began.   

We also see how this very early observance did spread to much of the Asian, Mediterranean and Occidental world. Such divine observance of was seen/ still seen in Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, Egypt, Greece, Israel, Rome and Germany. 

In the ancient rituals of the Kartvels (or ancient Georgians), the “guda” was observed as the divine Bull, Sun and Moon from which we see that the Sumerians associated all 3 together in their ancient religious observances.

The word, “Quat “, or “Kwat “ (such is the gutteral + dental formula akin to ‘gud’, ‘guda’, etc.) is an early Proto-Indo-European word. Its origin shows us the word, “Cheese—the curdled milk of the cow”.  This, in turn, became a morphological division word for the interrogative, “What is this?—-hence, “WHAT?” The skin sack of the bull represents the “DIVINE BULL” coming from HEAVEN and descending into the Skin Carcass or sack. Such an incarnation is very well seen in our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ,  in one sense: Christ is God. Christ came into the ‘form of a man’ to endure as man and God. Jesus Christ is God wearing a human skin sack, to say equivocally to the Kartvelian idea of Guda. So, the words, “what?, cheese, bull, sack for libations which were formed from the skin or carcass of the cow, and God” did originate from the all too natural and mundane terms that were seen everyday.

From now on, you might think of the “heavenly cheese” of the Dutch (“kaas”), or, “Gouda” and all its cognates mentioned here and way beyond, when gormandizing on such a delight! Oh, yeah, did I tell you that the “Kaas” was “Das Got “….Old German, Got = “The Good’ = “ The God”.

————————————————————

Epithet 2 – “The Word”

The LOGOS and his base beginnings.

P.I.E. (Proto-Indo-European) = “lg- as a “classifier” or “organizer” of firebrands or logs.

P.I.E. – *LG*= ‘the logs that were *collected* (Grimm’s law: labial/gutteral) and categorized in orders of sizes and types to burn, build, etc.  The smaller logs were used, obviously, to start the fire while the larger logs were placed later for the greater heat.

The strongest logs were used for possible tools, wheels, carts, weapons, house building material, etc. 

We get our suffix, -ology, as to mean, “classification, category of, study of, words of “. 

Hence, *leg*, *lg*,  (Greek:‘logos’) = “the classification and categorization of things”.

It is not a wonder that Plato looked to the “Driving Force” of the universe as “Logos”.  Plato expounded on Logos as a part of a Divine Trinity consisting of ‘good’, ‘logos’, and ‘world spirit’.  Logos’ attributes, as seen by Plato, were the aspect of Wisdom, Reason, etc..  It is interesting that the very archaic, “LG”, meaning categorizer, organizer, Collocator, etc,….collectively, meant, “Judge”.

The development of “LOGOS” finally came to its fruition in the Johannine Gospel (Gospel of John) as “…and the LOGOS ***became flesh*** “. 

What an astounding sense to the first century Chrestoi who understand the Greek classics, the Ne’evim ( the prophets ) and Messianism as ‘the Fulfillment of the World’s Pain and Cure!!!

————————————————————

Epithet 3 “EL and YAH”

Egyptian and Babylonian scriveners, bards, poets, prophets, historians, and Astrologers all looked to the bull as the strong one.  The Bull, Apis (Egyptian), or the Sinaitic Hebrew pictograph: Aleph* (The bull is the ‘first’, ‘the lead’-hence, the “Aleph”, or “ALPHA”, hence, the first letter in the Hebrew Alphabet {aleph – beyt/ alpha (in Greek) and, the letter “a” in English}).

“AL”, “The “Heavenly-Bull”, or, “UTU”, represents the divine treader or maker of the traces by which the Lead Bull has established. The Taurus, or Bull) , which was and is the vowel carrier for the “A” sound and means, “Bull; Ox”. “AL or EL (Hebrew)” became known as “the God” of the Hebrews. “Elohim” was the ‘congress’ or ‘hierarchs’ of “EL” that did the bidding, expressed the notion, etc. of EL.

The Hebrew took the AL Verb to the morphological EYEH. Eyeh carried the “prosthetic E” or removable “E” (in this case, the prefix) which led to “Yah”, which, in turn, became the hypocoristicon of the more elaborate, “Yehoua”, (YHVH). Once again, the VERB, Yah, denoted “THE ALL POWERFUL ONE”. Yah, in its most simple definition means = “makes to exist”. Yahweh = Yahoua comes from the Mesopotamian relation of man to God and God to man meaning: “Friend of Man”.  “Creator of Man” and, “the God who Warned man before Flood”.  This same YHVH God talked and walked with mankind millenia before Moses!

Agnoia and Gnoia

So strong are words when they are represented in their proper context and so damning when they are misappropriated.  I am a believer and sold out that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. I believe in the inerrancy of the Biblical Text, i.e., the  Antiochus-Textus Receptus-Text.

This is my statement to a dear friend and colleague:

“Dear ….., this is the ‘genius’ of *agnosticism*: It is a term that has been misunderstood by our religious community. Amongst most church goers prevails an “us and them” attitude with “us” being the “believers who are saved” and the “them” as the unbelievers which include atheists and agnostics.

Such a term as ‘agnosticism’ has been disenfranchised from its original and proper usage. Many deemed the term, ‘agnostic’, as in relation to “disreputable, hedonistic, heathen, pagan, non-believing”, etc. Yet, for me to proclaim ‘agnosticism’, in the categories of sensible philology, etymology, linguistics, word usage and not cultural bastardization of words, etc. frees me up to be a REAL believer. I can say, “I don’t know what’s past this veil”, “I don’t know everything that should comfort those who suffer”, etc.

Technically, I most certainly could be called  a “Christian Agnostic” because I am a Christian who doesn’t know it all. If I said, “out of the 2,253 inflectional forms of the Finnish noun, “kauppa” = “shop”, I don’t know the Genitive Singular 2nd person of said noun, I would claim the title of ‘agnoia’ and my rightful throne to honesty for the moment would be instantaneously bestowed to me by heaven and earth.

Well, concerning the Finnish noun, I just didn’t know that factoid—-darnit! I guess I’m an agnostic. Yet, I’m FREE from the anxiety of being a know-it-all. I’m free from keeping such a pretense.

I see the safety in claiming agnosticism within the Christian community because they all want to ‘save’ your soul. In such a social status I’m never in harm’s way of the social Guitiene. I can never ‘become heretical’ when I must already be a heretic. The JOY I have in conversing about ‘salvation’ in the original Biblical Greek to the ‘them’ or ‘believers’ is like, well, almost sinful… sigh..

All I want to do is talk of Christ and what He has done for me.

Title me, label me, label others, judge others, bestow your damnation upon them—- who’s the atheist? Who’s the agnostic now?

But…be careful…pulling this word “agnostic” from your “Wyrd Hoard” can remedy all ills, save anxiety disorders, relieve mental constipation, disinfect puritanical strained faces, save us from pretense, and dissolve depression! But, with a great price, maybe the ultimate price, this kind of Truth will set you and all of those who you TRULY love *Free*. Try saying it out loud: “I don’t know”. Feels good, huh?

I posted on Facebook the other day a passive aggressive cloak and dagger very conflicted response to a person who is so ill in their prejudices that it would probably bother them none if they knew that they were being admonished. I can’t go much further with why I did not directly address them. Suffice it to say it would affect more than just me and this particular person.

So, here’s my altruism posted to Facebook:

“True strength is not displayed by repetition of ignorant blind faith. Rather, true strength is engendered by an ethical and moral impetus. Such impetus carries its own ‘will’ or ‘direction’. Furthermore, this moral impetus with directed will ( with a moral compass ) not only finalizes its motion at its terminal point or target” but expresses an eternal continuum of goodness as the essence of this moral impetus”.

Then, as was expected, a ‘participation reaction statement’ came not too long after.

This was not the person that I was directing the statement at, by the way.

Nonetheless, they said to me:

“Prosperity can come with perseverance of a plan”

(Admittedly, I got cocky and asked about their ‘alliteration’ skills)

So, let’s define what I had really said:

I was making a definitive statement or ‘maxim’  that one could ascertain ‘postulates’ from:

From my maxim: *True strength is not displayed by repetition of ignorant blind faith but engendered by an ethical and moral impetus* I entwined the following postulates:

Postulate 1)  I implied that “strength” comes from ‘that which is good’.

Postulate 2) I implied that ‘ethics’ and ‘morals’ engender the impetus by which ‘strength’ is active, mobile, viable and empowered.

Postulate 3) By implication, I delineated ‘blind faith’ from morals and ethics (the ‘handling’ of morals).

Postulate 4) I implied that sustainability was found in morals

Postulate 5) I implied that by eliminating morals and ethics we could therefore act on ‘blind faith’ because there is no substance upon which to act with and such a ‘freedom’ from morality now allows us to act on blind faith ( In other words, “blind faith” and the activity developed from it, is immoral. This puts the western church into a conundrum). 

Postulate 6) I implied by eliminating morals and ethics that ‘strength’ is illusory and not sustainable and the ‘resolve’ would be ‘blind faith’ or ‘fantastic thinking’ – a.k.a. ‘Fantasy’ or ‘Phantasmagoria’-i.e., bizarre or fantastic combinations, collections or assemblages of ideas, icons, images that are in shifting patterns—-much like the mosaic church windows which actually depict the problem I’m referring to.

Postulate 7) I implied that a ‘strength’ based on illusory blind faith IS AN exercise of the subjective nature without ontological reference. That is, the will of the id or ‘the set of instinctual desires’- when acted out through a ‘mosaic mind’, concludes to delusion and eventual failure of direction, purpose, plan and failure to continue the ‘will’ of TRUTH, not the WILL of limited-myopic self.

After making my “simple” Maxim—-this person said that I was countering him. This person said: “All I was doing was supporting your statement but you keep challenging and dismiss me on this post”.

It’s funny how ‘statements’, when pregnant with meaning (supported by many entwinements, in this case), can “offend” those who have a different, let’s say, world view.

Then, I said to this person:  “I’m definitely not trying to challenge or dismiss you.

Then, I said, “The differences that can be ascertained  in our statements are as follows: Hitler had an idea of prosperity with a plan. He certainly persevered for a time. Hitler’s perseverance was only sustainable for a short time due to a lack of civil morals. Though Hitler had a ‘code of conduct (one could say a ‘type of morals’) it certainly wasn’t a code of conduct that was in continuity with the rest of the human race.

You see, what I’m saying is: Hitler did not act on ‘ethics’ and ‘morals’ befitting the human race. His ‘strength’, by his own life’s definition, failed him because world domination by means of ethnic cleansing and creating the ‘pure’ race was not sustainable. Therefore, that ‘type’ of strength failed him. It’s math, it’s inevitable.

This person continued to act as if I were talking to him; nearly comically to me, not them. That is, something was touching at their soul.

Then, *the catch*. I asked them to stop responding/ reacting. I told them that they were ‘reacting’ to an idea held in their own mind. I told them that apples to oranges is what you’re comparing. Mine is an ethical one…yours is a format to accomplish. I said, in and of itself, yours is not nefarious, but, given into the wrong hands, it is. Mine is governed by itself: goodness, —-ethics and morals are caused by this goodness which gives impetus to the strength and directs the strength with it’s eternal sustainability. Such a sustainability is eternal but can and does perform in our tempo or temporal clause. That is to say, eternal goodness acts upon us until our time is done with this or that. This person STILL continued to ‘challenge’ me because they didn’t understand that their feeling of getting burned was not by me. I said, “warning, don’t continue this conversation—-it’s wasn’t directed at you initially, but, it is becoming by itself more directed at you until one of us, or both, or neither, is filtered with its reason. Finally, I asked: “Are you the one who says, ‘any good n….. is a dead n….. and any good democrat is a dead democrat?! Because if YOU ARE I am totally disgusted with you and a social, moral, spiritual judgement will set itself upon you!!’ Are YOU that person or not!??” They said, “absolutely not”.  I said, “thank you, have a great day”. Didn’t hear from them after.

I want to show the ‘mechanism of failure’ is not necessarily in the ‘sack’, ‘Saeculum’, or ‘secular’ sense. That is, both “christian” and “non-christian” *conundrums* are not necessarily on equal playing grounds when one of the two (or both) are acting with fraudulent representation.

“Blind Faith”, as defined by the modern ‘church’, doesn’t necessarily use the word  “blind”  to connote their ‘belief’ but they most certainly do ‘believe’ in ‘blindness’ as ‘ignorance to something’ and make it the only moral way by which they should operate their “true faith”.  Somehow, this has become a laudable ‘ethic’ in ‘the church at large’. This is also an example of falsely moralizing a term.

The ancient Greek (immoral or amoral) used the term “aletheia (alle’ to wander/ theia {with} the goddess)” as a valid term for “Truth”—whether they practiced it or not. Therefore, to the pagan Greek, they knew what Truth meant. It meant to trust in the goddess and act by her lead. Interestingly, it is a ‘blind term’ to act upon….that is, “to be blind to your will and follow the WILL of the goddess as She guides you through the Forest”. 

Such is one of the conundrums distilled here: the ‘christian’ *believes* that willing to act by willful blindness is a pass to not know, to be lazy, to not exegete, to not parse and apply, ….hence, immoral christian agnosticism.  I have known many agnostics who are not lazy, do believe in Christ, but admit what they DON’T know. Many agnostics, i think, are more ‘moral’ than the ‘christian’ who makes their ‘belief’ *agnoia*. 

Many of the ‘churches’ have created a fantasy of agnoia or ‘agnosticism’ that is immoral, by their terms that they fail to see. There is an apocalyptic ‘christianity’ that is alive now that neither exists in the sack of humanity or the well thought out discourses of the early church fathers. There is a failure to exegete to know where they come from, yet, claim the ‘appellate’, “Christian”.  The modern apocalyptic immoral agnostic christian neither matches in morals or substance of existence  the language which conveyed apogee truths found in the realm of pagan Epic dramas, Pagan poems and Greek philosophies which so used the etymologies of Homeric myths’ vocabulary. Neither does this ‘modern Christian’ regard the Reason by which the martyrs of the Apostolic-First Century Christianity lived and died by.

Therefore, the illogical is not moral. Rather, the illogical is always deviously created in a vacuum to operate in shadows for its own desires. It would take great effort to ‘deviate’ from that which has naturally flowed by it’s own poetry since the dawn of consciousness.

END OF THE WORLD, the APOCALYPSE and ARMAGEDDON

Post Tribulation *rapture* is a coherent doctrine that confirms the ‘harpadzo’ or ‘snatching up’ by Christ in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 at the Last Trump (1 Corinthians 15:52). To qualify this phrase, “snatching up” or “caught up”: “caught up” is an Anglicized and ‘child-buffered’ word which is used *euphemistically*.

The classical Greek term “harpadzo” was employed the same way the Bible used it: ‘overpowering’, especially as in “rape”, “the act of the eagle’s talons which seize, puncture, carry off their prey”, etc..  Hence, this verse verse denotes the violent overtaking of our wills into His where we are no more ourselves but His.

The *signs* are in the suffering through the Tribulation (7 angels, 7 vials, 7 churches,  and 7 plagues.  *Easy believism* and no suffering “doctrines” make the church lulled to sleep. Such doctrines are found in the false doctrine of health, wealth, prosperity, feel good, etc that is being promoted by many popular evangelists of our day. Sadly, these easy-feel good doctrines have found their way into every facet of the Babelized earth. There used to be a Rome to escape from, there used to be a Babylon to escape from- no longer. The entire earth is sick with these infestation doctrines. How is there to be a confirmation of the Holy Spirit if there is no suffering!? 2 Timothy 3:12- “All that shall live Godly shall suffer persecution”.  In Matthew 7:21 Jesus tells us of *a kind of minister* that will be doing, professing, proclaiming certain doctrines. Jesus talks here of these particular people in the last Days saying, “ not everyone that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that do with the will of the father which is in heaven. Verse 22 many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? And in your name have we not cast out devils? And in your name done many wonderful works? Verse 23 and then will I profess unto them depart from me you that work iniquity”. 

It is at the “Last Trumpet ( of the 7 ) that we see Christ’s return (Revelation 8:1-ff).  The “harpadzo”- or “snatching up” is at the end of the Tribulation is mentioned by Jesus in Matthew 24:29:  Jesus says, “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened and the moon shall not give her light and the stars shall fall from heaven and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall appear the sign of the son of man in heaven and then shall all of the tribes of the earth morning and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory and he shall send his angels with a great shout  of a trumpet and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds from one end of heaven to the other the other”. 

We also have another good eschatological reference point in Luke 21:29-ff where Jesus tells us that “When the *fig tree (Israel)* is back in its own land that THIS generation (Jewish term: ca 70-80 years) shall see ALL things come to pass (concerning the end of the world). What so many good Christian eschatologists fail to teach is that Revelation ( John’s Apocalypse ) 1) wasn’t the end of the world until the last trumpet where the elect would THEN see Him 2) the motifs of the judgements of the 7 trumpets are retold in a layering and suturing to express God’s “dimensional” language to us. For example, the 7 trumpets are the 7 vials are the 7 churches are the Seven Angels are the Seven Stars as we see in the “glossary”, if you will, found in Revelation 1:20 and in the Jewish style of writing by going back, repeating, revamping, recapping. Finally, this final act “at the last Trumpet ‘will cause all to changed in the blinking of an eye where this corruptible shall become incorruptible” <—1 Corinthians 15:52 and it is found I. 2 Peter 3:10 —-“the elements ( stocheia—Greek: building blocks of our existence) will melt with a fervent heat at the Day of the Lord as He comes as a thief in the night, coming unexpectedly”.  Interestingly, the Greek reads that Christ, as a ‘Klepto’ or thief will rob the creation of its light, elements, time, space.  Again, careful reading to the original Greek text.

For now, what’s left to look for? Revelation 13 makes it clear of a one world system with a mark. This will be 3 ½ years into the BEGINNING of the 7 Trumpets or 7 years of Apocalypse. 

We will look to Ezekiel 37 and 38 concerning Russia, Iran and China to attack Israel at The Hill of Geddo or Armageddon at the last point of the Apocalypse (last of the 7th year/ 7 trumpets).  

We might very well study Daniel 8 and 9 to see the character of the Anti-Christ. 

Much more will I attempt to fill in from this fist blog. 

Restating part one, addendums, extra mentions and exonerations

Technically, the term,‘belief’, never meant to act in “blindness” until our recent perversion of this term—that is, the ‘moralization’ of this term.  Initially, the term, “belief”, would have carried a primitive ‘scientific’ connotation. I also condemn (Latin: damnus -‘critique’’ {not send to hell}) the scientific community when they condemn the ‘believing’ communities for employing ‘faith’ or ‘belief’. Such ‘science’ such be criticized for not doing their research into their word usage. No word, no act, no energy comes out of a vacuum. There’s always a ‘string’ attached; you Quantum P-braners know what I’m talking about! 🙂

Origin of “belief (noun)” and “faith (verb)”

“Bheidh” is the Proto Indo European/ Kurgan root for “belief”. “Bheidh” carries a collage of meaning. It carries with it the meaning of “abode” or “abide”. As the Holy Spirit ‘abides’ in us; as the Holy Spirit makes His “abode” in us. It is a place of resting, trusting, etc.  King David “trusted” that he could kill the Giant. Not because he “saw” it but because he had been protecting sheep since his youth with his slingshot. David had “FAITH” in his past *accounts*. David had taken a ‘marking’ or ‘talley’ of his kills of predator animals that had the nature to kill his gentle sheep. This *kind* of faith is not to be moralized.

Such a “Faith” as David’s has been perverted by false moralists to say, “David’sthe type of faith was ‘blind’ “. It was not. Moreover, let’s turn it around: today’s moralist could use the ‘modern’ sense of ‘faith’ to say, “one must *act* in blind trust and go forth. This is unsound doctrinally and clashes with David (who was the ultimate example of “Trusting” in God as a mere human), any military action past or present, science, music, art…etc.

Another shade of error:  to act “blind” is separate from acting on the “unseen” from which we know makes sense in the Gestalt fashion. Much like the Holy Spirit is always with us but makes sense to us in the here and now. Yet, while Jesus was only here for a period of time in the flesh, His *Acts* were quantum in their meaning. HE fulfilled the Father’s written book about HIM before HE walked the earth. Therefore, each act fulfilled the next as a tightly woven poem. And, it is only through the Spirit can we “See” this Logos walked the Father’s preordained pathway.

Both the Holy Spirit and Jesus are “blind” to us now, because we don’t physically see them, but their substantial natures solidified one another in our worldviews if we are calibrated to look through these lenses. In this kind of Trust, faith, belief, Jesus, the Father, and Holy Spirit are not ‘blind things’ to us.

Many modern “christianities” have made “Faith” a ‘blind thing’ partly because it is much easier to control the ‘flock’. When there is a *command* to act on the illogical, then, power is given to the leaders. “Faith” became an implemented word for those ministers who would abuse their sheep. Never before have we seen this word, “Faith”, be so abused!  Yet it is greed, power, herding of the masses, etc. by ministers that have allowed it to be so mistranslated. Distilled down to it’s primal meaning: keeping the sheep blind equals money and power.

In the face of so many ministers is the knowledge of the original Greek and Hebrew Bible given, yet, they do nothing to aid the knowledge of this or many other terms. The ministers do not encourage the ‘flock’ to study, to know, to exegete, to exhaust the Scripture. There would be questions then! There would be a need for a Teacher of the Word who could answer and keep in check Biblical error! For God’s sakes, I need it!  There would be a counter balance to power given to the minister.

Sadly, I have been told from the highest level of my former “church” this past couple of years that I was weird for wanting to know the Greek and Hebrew. That I was ‘different’. They told me, “the study of Greek and Hebrew is ‘crazy, too much, too intense, etc.”. From this mindset, and the courses of actions, sociologically, I’m gone from this club. It took my wife, in different ways, to see the selfish side of this minister. As Covid hit in full force during December of 2020, this minister continued to push for *THE FAITHFUL* to ‘fill the pews’. That the “FAITHFUL” would not be deterred. All while, we encountered deaths by COVID in our “church”.  One way or the other, “FAITH”, “Belief”, “Trust”, etc. has been perverted by this man. He is only one of the other high percentages of ministers who do the exact same thing!

1) Federal government = Fader, Pater, Patri, —-labial-dental-rotex. Father-Government

2) Metropolis=Mother, Matri, Mordor, Matron, Matrix, etc. Mother-Government

3) Infantry = infantus, infant, infaunt, ‘in’-not/ ‘fari’-to speak. //P.I.E. root: ‘bha-‘ = “to speak, tell, say”—-plus ‘in (not)’.

4) Villian=Villager/ villa, ‘one who lived outside the ‘house’ of the Father. Sometimes, —and later, the Old English combined the meaning of ‘outside’ the house and bad/ criminal. The Amoral sense would hold, ‘one who lives in the village

5) Heathen=one who lives on the Heath, the uncultivated person living in an uncultivated area, Ie, ‘the heath’.

6) Pagan = “one who is on a different *page* than you. Paganus (Latin)-‘country’, ‘backwards’, —- not necessarily wicked or evil until this word became heavily *christianized (should I say, “moralized” by a select few self appointed nomothetes*.

7) Economy = ‘oikos (Greek-“house”)’ + ‘nomos’(Greek-“rule, name, law, authority, lineage, genetics, genius, joining

8) Doom= domicile, dominion, “Dom (Anglo-Saxon)” = JUDGEMENT = the words of the Master of the Domicile. Free from peasant speak, free to will outside/from peasant speech. Peasants are ‘free’ from obliged Master Speech. They speak ‘freely’ with loose lips, cutting, back biting, judging without frame of reference.

Under the “dome” of the house, ALL receive the gifts of the MASTER, …such as freedom FROM danger, hunger, sickness, weather-cold/sun/rain/snow, etc. Even the peasants children born in the HOUSE, the OIKON, are under the NOMOS of the MASTER.

The Greek, “oikonomos (‘economy’)”, or “house name, house law, house rule, house herald, house genealogy,” is established under the DOM, DOMESTICITY, DOMINION, DOMICILE, DOOM, JUDGEMENT ( all same word) of the MASTER.

Under the Master’s ‘judgment” or “word”, “dominion”, “rule”, “Dom”—-you are “”FREE”” *FROM* being cast out into meaninglessness and wander. Slave, pagan, heathen, peasant, nobility, sons and daughters of the Master, relatives of the Master can ALL receive gifts UNDER HIS GLORY (or LOF and DOM).

LOF- ‘lift’, that which is “lofty”, leof, —-see, ‘leaven’ —(that which ‘rises’).   A pagan’s (a-moral sense) elevated status.

Many profess we’re in a “postmodern” or “post-truth” era. Simply put, this would mean that we are a culture without regard to ‘belief’ in facts, only ‘results’.

Sounds a little complicated? The second I said, “belief”, did I err? I did not, technically. Technically, ‘belief’ has never been “blind”. “Bheidh” is the Proto Indo European root for “belief”. “Bheidh” always meant ‘a nest from which something is launched from’ or ‘a maxim’ to refer to. “Faith” has been perverted by false moralists. “Faith” became a ‘blind thing’. “Faith” became an implemented word for those ministers who would abuse their sheep. Never before have we seen this word, “Faith”, be so abused, yet, greed, power, herding of the masses, etc. by ministers has allowed it to be so mistranslated. Such a bankless meaning holds bankless doctrines. Such an abuse of power necessitates ‘shadow words’, ‘shadow logic’, ‘shadow theologies’.

The ‘flow’ of poetry, archery, meaning, music, etc. is called “rous” in the Classical Greek. We see ‘rous’ mentioned in Plato’s Cratylus as in the archer’s alignment with pure mathematics as we have and will state in this book. That is, the human’s ‘climb’ to the point of perfect reference or the god’s council, a.k.a., ‘The Will (boule)’.

The ‘Boule’ was what was NOT interrupted, whether in the action of an athlete or the verbal usage found in a Logical Dialogue. Hence, “LOGOS”, was Jesus’ other referential NAME. The human side, ‘the rous’ was coming to be as interwoven with LOGOS’.

This contextual flow of naturalism and the correlative word banks used to exemplify their natural contexts did commit the natural man (the uninterrupted a-moral pagan) to be driven to perfection with the god’s council on pagan (a-moral/natural) terms. How much more is this a notion to the God of the Universe in Christian verbiage?! One should see that these beautiful pagan word sources were undisturbed in their naturally used cultural flow. Furthered, these undisturbed rivers of meaning came to a completion and exemplification within our relationship between us Jesus Christ. This would indicate that the Pagan’s Saviour was Jesus in masks. I would make the argument that word exemplification met its apogee at the end of the second century A.D. when the early church thinkers dissolved and a politically charged ‘church’ took over, namely the post-nicene church (ca. 350 A.D. the christian thinkers lost their momentum due to Romanism infused ideas/Mariology/ worshipping of the saints, etc.{all of which I call true immoral paganism}).

It is within the diagrams of natural paganism (opposed to contrived immoral paganism) that I do find honesty within the movement or motion of the verbs of both Plato’s dialogues and the New Testament Text. The Anatomy of these verbs which carry the nominative signs like the plastikos (feathers, tassels, ornamentations attached to the clothing of the dancers to ‘show’ the movement of the deity) of the Elysian dances, does haunt me to the point where I am convicted by the Holy Spirit to feel God over my shoulder. One might think about this ‘kind’ of FAITH…..a substantial, tangible, non-blind FAITH (Bheidh); a FAITH that is a denial of the ‘blind faith’ that is concocted from this horrid Western Hemisphere of pseudo christian thought.

Furthered for all, this linguistic-math is found in the word for, “disciple”—“mathetikon”, or, “mathematician” of the WORDS of Christ. Such a mathetike fulfills their meaning in martyrdom or ‘maturity’ ..hence, ‘maturos’ in Greek.

 

APATHY

Modern Christian-apathy (Greek: “a- (alpha privative {negative particle prefix}”=“not” + “pathos” = ‘‘suffering’’= *no-suffering*, indifference) is what I counter with a commitment to the Words of the Bible. Once you establish the core Hebrew and/or Greek understanding of the original text (Textus Receptus/ Antiochus Text), there is no room for argument. This worldview can only occur if you approach the original Hebrew and Greek Testaments as divinely inspired.

If this seems extremely dogmatic, I accept your charges. The reason being: the words of the original text are committed to the Narrative, the Historicity, the Morphology or coming to be of the fixed usage of the word within the coherent stream or flow of meaning.

The ‘shadow play’ of false ministers creates a false consistent motion via liturgies and social events. These ‘christian-social-necessities (as promoted by the ministers) either directly or indirectly creates the snakes and ladders term, *non-meaning*.

If that which is theologically correct is thrown out for a ‘replacement theology’, then, what ‘kind’ of replacement theology would ‘damnably’ fall in place? Notice I didn’t say, “naturally”? It is a natural thing to act on our God given senses, appeals, inclinations, etc. These instincts are not sin until we replace God’s higher order of conduct. That is to say, to confuse the natural senses with the metaphysical is technically a sin, let alone, a moral one. Such a ‘naturalist religion’ would appeal to the emotions, senses, natural man, etc. In this approach to a new theology, we would be double visioned. We would lack the discernment to say, ‘this is our good sense and this is our instruction’. These two do not compete anymore than a steering wheel and an engine but must be distinguished from one another. Healthily, you would have two good, “single visions” vs. “double vision” – which is what Adam and Eve received. It was called, “wit” or “witchcraft” ( all such ancient and later European and Mediterranean cognates such as: vitea; videre; witch; wit; video; ‘eido; etc. do relate to the word for “seeing” or “to see” as a warlock, witch, god, demon).

 

THE MODERN MINISTER; THE MODERN WITCH

There’s a job for the witch minister when the false doctrine of non suffering is preached. Examples: “God would not bring destruction”; “you have the free will to not choose God”; “you must ‘confess God in water Baptism’ – especially associated with that specific church and the promulgation to continue in the physical church because of such ‘salvational acts’. This is monetary based.

These ‘liturgies’ and ‘social-christian-contracts’ are fatiguing, emotionally based on many levels, cultic, divisional, limited, etc. I have developed a sense of the repugnant when I experience most of ‘contract christianity’. This is a term that Richard Rohr created. I disagree with many of his points but he’s smack on here.

THE ILLUSORY DOCTRINES OF NIHILISM CAN ONLY BE CREATED BY THE ‘CHRISTIAN-WITCH’

 

“Non-meaning”, is a man-made pothole which uses altruisms and functions for parasitic convention. Such conventions support the commercial/economic, mass-number-gathering, “collective” order, efficiency of shearing the wool off the sheep. I despise ‘efficiency herding’. I despise patronizing golf playing ministers who do not know their Bible who make me feel like I’m in a country club as much as I’m in the House of God.

These ministers and their replacement theologies create ‘shadow christianities. These uneducated, slovenly, rich ‘ministers’, relatively extravagant lifestyles, etc. do create the illogical by fear.

Let me explain: you would never need to create the illogical if the ‘logical’ made you money and gave you power. Such a replacement religion is called, “philogria (the love of money)”. By Jesus’ words, “Philogria (the love of money) is the root of all evil”.

 

THE ILLUSION BY THE WITCH MINISTER

I make no bends on this, If God’s Name is a VERB from the earliest of references to GOD, the VERB (EYEH, YAH, JAH, ILLAH, EL, Yahveh, Elohim, EA,) and we are the beings acted upon as though we are the dead NOUN, then this would answer to how witch-ministers have reversed this role. This reversal of roles IS the definitive meaning for, “idol worship’’. That is to say, ‘if God can be pushed away or received by our VERBAL force, then, the “God of the Western church” is a lesser GOD than the Biblical GOD Who is the Verb that causes ALL things to happen. This also makes us God, in the grammatical sense, i.e., the Causative Force. This IS the doctrine of the witch minister: you are a god.

It is funny to me to see all of the resulting contradictions in this view: At best, within ‘Christian paganism’, God is a Genie or Djinn that grants us what we desire, want, entreat for. Is this not religion based on our egoistic wants? I have said what I need to for now. Thoroughly disgusted, elated and content.

JUDGEMENT

 

Let’s address the term ‘‘judgement’. I am obligated as a Jesus follower to exegete the New Testament text in order to dispel undue judgements by which the  error born in misunderstanding the coherency of the New Testament text brings great confusion.

I witness hasty and lusty acts of judgements by “Christians” who are given the divine commission to preach the *GOSPEL*, not the damnation.

The illusory sense of ‘duty’ to ‘call those out of their sin lest they go to hell’ is exposed by the doctrines of Grace and Election. That is, how do we know who is going where, when and how with God? Jesus made it clear to His disciples to not judge others who are doing another work for God:

Luke 9:49: “Master, said John, we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us. *Do not stop him, Jesus said, for whoever is not against you is for you”. Secondly, is it not God who calls us out and not the flesh of another?

(For a germane study of “exorcism” one might find themselves finding only valid examples in the first century Christian era and based on their cultural anomaly. Many doctoral theses have been written on this subject matter such as Dr. Graham Twelvetree’s works on “Jesus, the Exorcist”.  As for me, I believe that the exorcisms were for a time in order to show the power of Christ and His disciples and Apostles in order to confirm the Church. I do NOT believe that this exists today).

Maybe this could work if we just all call out each other all day long. But, I see a much cleaner and more holy approach. That approach is found in the understanding that we are ordained as the elect to be put into sinful bodies and ‘come to be’ as Christ through these mortal senses to a renewed Sense that supervenes the mortal sense. Did Jesus not come to Baptize with fiery trials while the Holy Spirit confirms us in this true Baptism? Are we not coming to our senses through problems overcome in the understanding to simply ‘let it go’. Doesn’t the words, “God has Willed it” bring any peace?

Did not Romans 9:16 make it clear that it is not of anyone who ‘wills’ but of God who shows mercy? How can the ‘church’ see the substance of the infinite Christ when the gates of Heaven are presented shut due to their sin? Is not  the Kingdom of God within us (Luke 17:21 – “The Kingdom of God is within you” – Jesus) ? Then why the ‘kingdom of closed doors’ being preached then? —-because ‘humans’ create a ‘christendom’ that is a failure. They shut out the oppressed, the fatherless, the widow, the poor, the downtrodden. They respect the outward appearance, the rich, etc., but “God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart” 1 Samuel 16:7.  Again, this is ‘judging’ one another based on what the victim would only ‘choose’ not to be if they could. Who would ‘choose’ to be any of the downtrodden of Matthew 5? Yet, Jesus said they are all blessed. Who would ‘choose’ to be successful? — all of us. No one wants to suffer…but that is exactly what God has chosen us to do.

2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance”.

If Jesus is Lord and the Lord Jesus is not willing that any should perish are any going to perish?

The works of the flesh and the flesh will surely suffer unto destruction.

Ontologically ({Greek:ontos=be + -ology = study of} study of ‘being’, ‘being in time’, ‘being over time’, etc.), we are all horrid ( Romans 3:1-ff). If you are of age, would you like to live with your 20 year-younger self? How about your last month’s self? – No! Could you live with yourself now for eternity with all your prejudices and ignorance? No! We change every day. We are predetermined before this world to become more and more like Christ until that Day of redemption (Romans 8:28-31). We are becoming a *different being* every day. We are ‘coming to be’ into the likeness of God’s Son, Jesus. That is, perfection. 

If it is God who is working in us to do His will and to do His work according to HIS good pleasure (Philippians 2:13) then what are you doing judging another? Are you not judging God? What ‘goodness’ did you generate in your naturally fallen state to ‘choose’ a good thing? Romans 3-ff makes it clear that we are naturally damnable.  Ephesians 2:3 makes it clear that ‘we (the Christians) were at one time ‘children of wrath’ *by our nature*. That we, at one time, deserved wrath (Greek:“orge”-‘rage’ {mature context alert: ‘orgasm’, ‘to blow out with fury’}). But, WHO saved us from that according to HIS works and not ours? The bragging rites get smaller and smaller when we find in Ephesians 1:4 and following that God chose us before the foundation of the world, knowing us, predetermining our salvation, etc.  We find the same message in Romans 8:28 and following all through Romans 9. 

What am I saying? I do not believe that the “Gospel” is one of judgment from God upon us. I believe the Good News are the words of Salvation that one can go preach. I do not believe that we render ‘goodness’ by spreading the news of damnation. Would a good husband tell his wife, “if you don’t obey me I’m going to divorce you”?

Would a good marriage be contingent upon the act of the other? Let’s ask it like this: Does we love God in selfish fear that we will be damned if we don’t? Do we love God because we are in Love? Do we love God because we have a true relationship?

Below this paragraph is Jesus talking through the prophet Hosea more than 700 years before His ministry on earth! Keep in mind that ritual observances, laws, festivals and ordinances were the vehicle by which a relationship with God was kept, though, the Spirit was always there:

Hosea 2:16 (ca. 730 B.C.) – “And it shall be in that Day, Saith the Lord, That you will call me ISHI (my beloved Husband) and no longer call ME Ba’al (Owner/ Master)—-“

Is this not the definition of ‘free’ to ‘will’ the Husband’s love? Is this not the chain that is broken from the shackles of law, property ownership (chattel)? Why would anyone return to a “husband” who claimed property ownership over you by the law?! Why would anyone not run into the arms of the most gracious Husband who wants nothing more but a relationship? Read Solomon for the analogues of that kind of relationship.

Finally, the LOGOS, the WORD, the CHRIST who became flesh and dwelt among us in John 1 was TheDiscerner, The Judgement, The Distinguisher. As “Logos” had its humble origins as to mean: “collocate”, “collect”, “categorize” logs, wood branches, etc. Yes, you read it right. It meant to ‘judge the sizes, shapes, weight, etc. of wood in order to distinguish which logs would be best for what purpose (fire, building, dams, weapons, etc.). The Latin gives us the root for ‘discerner’ as in: ‘dis’ = ‘apart’ + ‘cerno’ = ‘sieve’. That is, ‘to discriminate, to set apart. “Distinguish” used ‘dis’ the same plus “stinguere” which meant ‘to prick’.  To stab, tabulate by pricking, etc.  Finally, “judgement” in the Greek has many forms. Diakrino meant “divide asunder” or “set apart”. This ‘divide’ is His pricking the flesh, His eliminating the ego, His tabulating when it is time to act for our sakes a good judgment. Did God not put Job through ‘judgement’? Did Job earn this “judgement”? – NO!.  God loved Job/ Loves Job. This true Love necessitates that the flesh must get out of the way from the Wife and Husband. She and He must draw nearer.
