If you haven't already done this, I encourage you to.

Read the Old Testament through the eyes of the New Testament, and suddenly you will have an enlightening moment in your study of the Scriptures. The whole of the Old Testament message was always pointing to the coming of Israel's Messiah, who is fulfilled in Messiah Jesus.

As a matter of record, there are two Covenants in the Old Testament: one with Abraham (Messianic) and one with Moses (Law); both Covenants are fulfilled in the New Covenant in Messiah Jesus.

Messiah Jesus fulfills both these Old Testament Covenants; He does not do away with them, but in Him they are fulfilled. Once we understand this, we see how important it is for us to recognize that God, from the beginning, had designed a way and method to redeem a world gone wrong. Eden wasn't the beginning; it was the first step to the redemption of a world. We know that people were living at the time of Eden, according to the Bible itself, saying she came from Nod. (The Land of Nod is a biblical location mentioned in Genesis as the place where Cain was exiled after murdering his brother Abel, described as being "on the east of Eden.")

There is so much to learn about the Biblical narrative if we truly seek to know. We are missing many historical books in our Canon of Scriptures that are important for understanding the whole of the narrative. I am determined not to let the institutional church interfere with my study of all of God's history with our world. The Book of Enoch is important and was quoted several times by New Testament writers, yet the Canon doesn't include it, and I think that is a mistake. Many scholars believed Jesus quoted from Enoch as well.

We are blessed with much more documentation from the early periods of history than at any other time in human history, and it would be a shame to waste all that knowledge. Let's use our technology for the glory and knowledge of God.

Evil comes from the human soul, not some personalized demon from hell. Evil is in you, don't let it control you.

"Judgment has No Agenda. Judgment comes after warnings are not heeded. Judgment is on Nations whose People do not heed the warnings and repent and turn from their wicked ways, but continue to defy their Creator by acts of grievous disobedience. The unrighteous perish with the righteous, but in the end, the righteous are raised to everlasting life while the unrighteous perish in a place of damnation for an everlasting existence separated from the God of Creation." (These words were spoken on the beach in Biloxi, Mississippi after Hurricane Camille, a Category 5 hurricane that struck the U.S. in 1969, by the Chaplain to the White House.)

I remember because I was there to hear it and witness it for myself.

The explosive intensification of Hurricane Milton continues after the potentially life-threatening system strengthened into a Category 4 storm with winds of 150 mph as Florida braces for a deadly storm surge, destructive winds and flooding rain this week.

The appearance of pandering and catering displayed by The United Methodist Church will be its downfall. It is one thing to promote diversity, but it is very different to encourage diversity by classifying groups within its membership. It appears that equality has suffered by pandering and catering to one segment over other segments within the connections membership. No longer is the diversity of belief celebrated, but conformity to a new reality of diversity of sexual identity has replaced over 2,000 years of Christian teaching to worship at the altar of the modern church.

It is the appearance of a thing that defines that thing. There will come a time when Methodists will realize what has happened and I hope there is still time to convert to a right relationship with the God of Scripture and properly celebrate true diversity.

As a liberal Methodist, I am offended by Progressives who have hijacked the church.

My hope is found in this verse of Scripture: "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose."

Folks, we can push God only as far as God allows us to, and then God pushes back. You may want to believe climate change is causing the intensity of storms around the world, but I am more inclined to think human wickedness and idolatry are the root causes, not climate change. God uses nature to judge nations and peoples, and the sacred history of God's relationship with Creation is well documented.

We can continue to follow this path to destruction and God will not prevent the ultimate decimation of the nations and peoples of the earth. The Prophets, Sages, Apostles, and God (Himself) have warned us throughout history. If we repent and turn away from this dark path, God will forgive and redeem; but if we don't then the judgment will come and it will be just and final.

Now you can say I am an old man and I don't know what I am talking about, that's okay with me if you feel that way. Nathan, Samuel, Elijah, Daniel, Noah, Enoch, Isaiah, and Jeremiah were all old men, who many didn't listen to and the judgment of God came upon the nations and peoples as a result.

God's love does not give us a license to wickedness, it is a call to us to right-relationship and obedience to God's commandments and Christ's beatitudes. Creation belongs to God, we are only temporary and transitory occupants.

There is only one True God and He is revealed in the Person of Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus talked about God's judgment in truth, holiness, and righteousness. The nations and peoples will stand before God the Creator and they will be judged.

It doesn't bother me one way or the other, I just telling you what I have experienced of God throughout my life. God can be love, but God is also just and true to Himself. God is the Creator, and we are the Creatures (made by God) to serve God's Purposes.

Jesus said to him, “Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels?"

God is watching us and He sees how lies are filling our hearts and minds with hate. Hate pushes us away from God Himself and one day God is going to push back.

For Christians, who know the Teachings of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, abortion as a "human right" is problematic: "Chapter 2. The Second Commandment: Grave Sin Forbidden. And the second commandment of the Teaching; You shall not commit murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not commit pederasty, you shall not commit fornication, you shall not steal, you shall not practice magic, you shall not practice witchcraft, you shall not murder a child by abortion nor kill that which is born. ..." It's not what we say, but what God has said.
