After waking, it seem as if I was back in my first kitchen that I was born and raised in. I was itching my socks west over to my living room. You can call me Edwards. I was almost wearing pajamas and just socks. I ran into some magical warlock. I do not actually remember him. I am only assuming that he was part of my life. But it was not long until I saw an older man, in his thirties or forties, do several magic tricks. One was right by the counter and couch. Out of nowhere came a sacrifice stand of wood and bronze. It had a passageway, a tunnel, strait down. He must have went in or fell in. There was no bottom, it seem. Later, I found myself doing tricks myself. One is where you close your eyes and wish for some stuff animals to zab off your couch and into the kitchen to hit my mom. I am not even sure if Mom was there. I was just closing my eyes, thinking hard, using my hands, and it worked. I then had to put them back. I was new to these powers but I was ready for some more. My younger sister, or some random girl was on that couch. She must of left or she must of fell in, or she went into that sacrifice portal gateway down to a darker and brighter place. I ended up going after them. I had a partner who was probably female. We traveled for months down there. We went through underground cities and abaddon houses. We traveled down to lost things. People even died down there. We may have been down there for only moment, only hours. But it sure felt like forever. At that moment, I was still imagining what I saw near the bottom to that bottomless pit, before I went into it. I thought I saw lava near the bottom, or fire, or pain. I could barely see what was down there but I was curious but also very scared. We took many cautious steps to avoid falling down this orange light well place. We went down only part way in order to find a sidedoor or another way down to the bottom, if there is one. I still cannot get some of this out of my head. What should I do? I am scared for my life as I observe ancient cities.
I believe in principle. Principle is God. Principles are God. Are the trinity. Is the trinity. God is spirit. Spirit is Jesus. Jesus is spirit (& man). Jesus is word. Jesus is the Word. The Word is for us. The Word was not originally written in English. The Word was written through flesh, through hands, through the Bible author's spirit, their personality, but through God's spirit. The Word was written from and through the spirit. This spirit is the Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost, that dove, that fire, that water, that wind, that breath of life, that mediator, that counsel, that soul, that mojo, that brother in high places. The spirit is Jesus. Jesus is light. Jesus breaths out that spirit. Jesus is the face to God, of God, for God, through God. I believe principles are everlasting truth. Principles are eternal. Principles do not change. Principles are universal. Principles are not one dimensional. Principles cannot change. Principles cannot be added to. Principles cannot be improved. Principles are perfect. Principles are truths. Principles go beyond commandments. Principles are practical. Principles are directly applicable. Principles might be easier to recognized within Proverbs. I believe that we cannot live without principles. I believe that principles are the keys to the doors to our life. Principles are our gateway to how we are to think, live, walk, talk, do things, make things, to how we are to love, to laugh, to learn, to think, to wait, to help out, to reach out, to be holy (or not).
Principles are light. Principles are not sin. Principles are what is best.
Principles giggle the Word. Principles are gold. The Word is that earth. That is why we are to dig. To eat. To discover, not invent, truth.
However, God did not throw just gold at us. He did not just give us principles. I do not think we could handle that. I do not think we could relate, identify, or understand strait truth from Heaven. For example. Jesus is not God's son. Not literally. Not in the way that we understand it. Because God did not have a wife. God probably didn't give birth to Jesus in space. I mean, back before there was space. Instead, there is truth in that statement. That Jesus is like God's son. They have a bond, a relationship. And how else would we relate to that? If we were to take the Bible, without the spirit, then we may miss out. I do not then mean that there was no real world flood. And the list goes on. But I am saying that principles are in the Bible, but within the houses of programs. Principles can help us. They can help us do what we must do. Principles can help us develop commandments. Commandments are not always directly related or derived from pure principle. Some commandments are connected to programs.
I believe that God illustrates principles (which will help us do what we must do) through programs. Programs are specific application to the principles. When Moses wrote the first five books to our Bible, the Torah, God's spirit guided him, as they were in the desert, to bring to life some truth that will help them as they prepare for the war against terrorists. I mean, against Jericho. Moses did not make up the stories about creation and so forth. But it was written directly to those people at that time. It was written to illustrate God's agenda. To show how God does things. To show how we do things in specific circumstances. There were lessons that can be taken from it. At the time, it served it's purpose. However, of course, it still has a purpose. But even Israel didn't take it in directly. When they read God's programs (what He did, what the people did), they applied them. They did not just build an ark.
I was telling Blake, just yesterday, that I don't have a problem with following. Jeff agrees. But I don't think it can be done in a direct way. For example, I think Deuteronomy talks about not shaving your head. You do not want to identify with pagan countries. You want to be separate. You want to be in the world. Not of it, so to speak. If we take that literally, we could refrain from bald heads. That is understandable. I don't think the Bible is directly telling us to do that. That was merely the program at that time. But if we apply that principle to us first, then, through application, then we may find ourselves with hair on our head. But it is not going to be because we are just obeying the Word, directly. I mean, the principle, behind that head thing is the same. But how we do it may not be the same. The program may be different. I must not assume. I will not say that it is ok to shave your head. But I will not say that it is not ok just because they were told not to. We must bring the principle and apply the principle, not the program.
Apply the principle, not the program.
However, if we take the shaving head thing and we do not take the principle out of it and apply it, if we just take the program from it and say that we can't just only do this one thing. Then we may miss out on other things. Say, for example, what about certain clothes. Or piercings. Or somehow getting identified in another way. I mean, if we do not want to be associated with the wrong crowd, then what are we going to do? If I don't want people to think that I'm a nerd then I will just take off my glasses. Ok, that was a joke. It might not be that easy. I may have to change my clothes, how I talk, what I know, what I continue to learn, where I go, who I hang out with. But when I do those things, I do so out of application. I take the program and I dissect the truth, the principles out of it. I am not trying to say that you do not know any of this. I just really enjoy writing. And all of this helps me because I am still learning how to write.
But please dissect the principles from the programs.
