In The End

We've been looking at judging this week,
we might even take it a bit further and
deeper next week, but for today I want to
take a little break away from the deep
and dark woods for today. We've been to
the parted path, seen the majestic snow
with absolutely no prints in it, blown
across ground that shows nothing beneath
the clear, crisp, delightfully pure white.

We've been into the depths a little about
what judging is, and is not; and the
personal aspect of it, and that gets deep
so today I thought we'd just lighten up
a bit, if that's O.K. with you?

Somebody told me one time that the way
that sound travels is in waves, and
at about 186,000 feet per minute, light
multiplies that to 186,000 miles per
second; but that distance traveled
at that given rate for one year is
then called a light year.

Here is the mind bending part of that, it isn't
a measure of time but of distance.

So when we say that the universe that we
detect light from is 473 million light
years distant, we are, nevertheless
measuring a passage of time. The
universe is not only very old, very
large
(beyond comprehension, which is,
by the way, what God describes Himself
as, beyond comprehension "Iam that Iam"
literally means, I was, I am now and
I will be Forever" Which is beyond
comprehension), and very beautiful,
the universe, somehow, is balanced.

What I mean by that is, when it all
works out, all the factors necessary
for you to be reading this as you are,
happened, and you are, reading this.

Balanced.

Hope you will ponder; that; in order for
that to take place, Martin Luther,
had to nail his 95 theses on the Wittenberg
castle door? The Guttenburg printing
press people had to get it printed up
and out to the people, as one of their
mass printing efforts?

Hope you'll consider that in order for
that to have happened, the unified body
of worship, the general or "Catholic"
way, had to exist. That they had gotten
off course by claiming to be able to pray
loved ones out of purgatory for contributions
to the rector (called selling indulgences)
; a practice Luther found
without merit in scripture, which was
largely Latin. Few Greek texts survived
Diocletian who approximately 299 to 306 years
after the Ascension of Christ, actively
sought to destroy any Christian writings
or markings of any kind from the Roman Empire.

Hope you'll ponder that the unified church
came about as methods of worship arose out of
the principally synagogue style of gathering
together to share the knowledge gleaned in
the process of revealed God interacting with man?

Hope you'll ponder that; as that; was the style
then, so it is still today- and so, some
things just don't change easily, no matter
how fast light travels!

Ponder that the next time you figure you
need to judge somebody.

That God who created all of this
has declared Himself to be solely capable of
judging sins- and then realize, you may judge
less, but we all sin from time to time.

Then as you are wondering about all of that,
and judging, realize that you were, as you
read it, judging. Life isn't possible
without judging, and so, that really isn't
what God meant when He said we aren't to
be judging, what He likely meant,
(as God who made all of this is hard to fathom,
in my meager brain, I don't know about
you, but God is so far beyond my ability
to comprehend, that I just read his word
and try to take it for what it says,
how about you?) so when God says to me
that I don't need to be judging my brother;
it's generic, it isn't relegated to any
gender, and God means what He says.
I don't think He winks at it, I don't think He
"Aw shucks," it as some would suggest, I
feel in my heart that to God judging is
very, very, important, and when it comes to
your sin, none of my business.

Why do I say that? Because Jesus said this:

Mat 5:22 "But I say unto you,
That whosoever is angry with his brother
without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment:
and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca,
shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever
shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire."
