"Back To The Illusions, #7... Condemnation Exists" . . .

A Recap ...

It was a "Perfect" World ...
A "Perfect" Life ...

No Needs... Paradise ... Communion With God ...
Everything provided by God.

THEN . . .

Failure ... God's Test ... Adam Fails ... EveryOne Does Too ...

Disunity ... Separation from God ... Banished from Paradise ...
Separation from Each Other ...

Insufficiency ... Not Enough ...
Of God, His Love and Life Itself...

Requirement ... Laws Are Given ...
The Separation Grows Further...

Judgment ... God Prejudges Us ...
We Judge God and Each Other...
The Separation Grows Even Further ...

"The Wages Of Sin Is Death" . . .

Death is the "consequence" for sinning ...
The "Punishment" for not meeting the Requirement ...

"Condemnation Exists . . . or Does It" ? ? ?

"Everybody" dies ...
Even the "One" who "met" the Requirement died ...
So is Death the Punishment ?
or is it Separation from God ?
or Both ???

We are so "creative" ...
Just like God ...

Not just christians
but "everyone"
who believes in a "afterlife experience".

But take the average christian ...
i believe we're "confused" as to what really
is "our punishment" for Adam "failing" God ...

Life ...
Death ...
Resurrection Life ...
The Judgment ...
Second Death of the Wicked ...
Life given to the Wicked again ...
Only to be "Separated from God and Suffer In Hell" ...
FOR ETERNITY ...

"Are We Confused or Just Plain Crazy" ? ? ?

Using the criteria above ...
Logically, "death" does not exist ...
or ...
"hell" doesn't ...

So . . .

Who Lied ?

GOD ?

the Serpent ?

Moses ? ( it wouldn't be the first time )
Remember Moses being so "pissed off" at the people
that he broke the first set of commandments ?

It's written, No man may "see" God and live.
But Moses gets a "peek" of the LORD's ass ...

He also wrote that God "appeared" to Abraham and Sarah.

In Numbers 20 God told Moses
to speak to the rock and it would give forth water.
But Moses, always known for his impatience and temper
put on a show and beat the rock two times.
This show "misrepresented" God.
God was so angry,
He kept Moses from entering the Promised Land.

i don't know, but it seems to me that
maybe Moses was a "Great Storyteller" ...

Legends becomes Myth ...
Myths becomes Reality ...
Reality contains Illusions ...
Illusions bring Confusion ...

"The Bible ... Tall Tales or Truth" ? ? ?

The more i read the Old Testament
the more i believe
it is the "source of our confusion"
for us to "know" God.

With all of God's appearances
and direct communication with people,
It seems only a "handful" really "knew" God ...

That's not to say the O.T. doesn't contain inspired "Truth".
If, "Truth" is a person,
or a foretelling of that Person.

Before he left the earth, Jesus Himself promised to send
A Comforter ...
God Himself to "dwell" in us ...
To lead us and teach us how to "Know" God ...

i humbly offer ...

Begin to write your own "inspired" text ...
Connect with the "Living Word" and to live a ...
"Life of Love" ...
And . . . Fear Not . . .

Now if you like Archaic Laws and Wild Stories about people
who were barbaric and didn't "know" God ...
Please... Keep Reading, Studying and Wondering...

"Can Anyone ... Really Know God" ? ? ?
