  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Cant i see both my sin and my redemption at the same time? I struggle to follow the good things we are taught, and i may stumble at times, but i keep trying, even so i see my failures and i am humbled. However, i also see a complete new man in heaven. So i see both the old and the new at the same time.

Just some thoughts.


If our eye is single ...

Being nevertheless (or not by thought obtained), where one is at in the journey in is where one is at, there being only one who leads us into the one with the Father that we are.

The patterns laid out in scripture of the process of one that became two, and then was narrowed back to one again relate to this process of two in us. Jesus made the two one in himself long before he ever made it to a cross, I could go as far as to say he was one from the beginning which Jesus eluded to when he said restore me to the glory we had before the world was, which glory he identified as the Father's own self and is relative to every son or one born of the spirit as to where they came from.

The first perception of duality as it relates self (in the Bible) was when God said Let there be light (where the separation from heaven and earth begins (the dust man is made of (light not being called out of heaven, but out of darkness) all dealing with perception/images/pictures of truth.

When God called the light good night became evil by default (two fruits(sons) of a tree. By the word is knowledge, it's fist image it casts is a duality concerning self when the motive is based upon gain.

We are not learning to war, we are learning to rest, to be in him is to be in the father, in a glory that was before the world was, which is a truth brought down to a single thought, past the thought to be.

The process serves it's purpose, but every wandering must come to an end, both individually, and collectively. (this is a truth down to a single thought, and why the cross, or the feast of Passover, or the commandment not to eat is the wisdom of God, words that one lives by.

I think that our eye is single by keeping it on Christ. We keep our eye on his commands and his teaching, and on his love and his mercy. If not then we have decided to keep our eye on something else besides him.

We reflect what our soul is singularly focused on. Outside of this lies duality, or one tossed to and fro, why the new earth has no more seas (as to what in picture being in the midst of the sea speaks to in all it's forms).

I used to never pay attention to the words of metallica.

creeping death lyrics:
Slaves
Hebrews born to serve, to the pharaoh
Heed
To his every word, live in fear
Faith
Of the unknown one, the deliverer
Wait
Something must be done, four hundred years

So let it be written
So let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written
So let it be done
To kill the first born pharaoh's son
I'm creeping death

Now
Let my people go, land of Goshen
Go
I will be with thee, bush of fire
Blood
Running red and strong down the Nile
Plague
Darkness three days long, hail to fire

So let it be written
So let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written
So let it be done
To kill the first born pharaoh's son
I'm creeping death

Die by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing first-born man
Die by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing first-born man

I
Rule the midnight air, the destroyer
Born
I shall soon be there, deadly mass
I
Creep the steps and floor, final darkness
Blood
Lambs blood painted door, I shall pass

So let it be written
So let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written
So let it be done
To kill the first born pharaoh's son
I'm creeping death

Im not promoting that we listen to Metallica lyrics because they are more of a mans struggle within rather than pure guidance from the spirit. I m not sure he is a good role model, i prefer the apostle Paul as my role model. However i will say that the lyrics are not always easy to understand. The man who wrote them lost his mother when he was young. His parents belonged to a religious group who didn't believe in modern medical care. His mother died because she didnt seek medical help. You can see his frustration in some of his lyrics, in my opinion. I believe his trilogy of songs known as "the unforgiven" may show his internal struggle with God. He is a Christian i think, he is just messed up i think, he has deep rooted spiritual battles. He says that symbolism is important to him and you can see it in his lyrics. He says that he retains a belief in God and has a faith, although im unsure what he believes exactly. He has religious tattoos on his arms that show how important symbolism is to him, according to what he has said in interviews.

THe song "One" is somthing else. The video shows a man who lost his arms and legs in a war, he also lost his hearing and speech. He was completely cut off from the world. Its a disturbing situation. The song Enter Sandman is about child abuse i think.

I hope you won't take this in the wrong way...

outer religion would condemn all that do not conform to some empty law and blind mans pov about what constitutes 'what is spiritual'.

imo, they are deeply spiritual and blessed by God. to me they seem to be above and beyond what most Christians are willing to do and be. you want to compare saint paul to the people in metallica? okay well paul murdered Christians. metallica blessed the world with relevant music and touched the hearts of very many who religion pushed into the mud. if there is no metallica in heaven then just throw me in hell. because I have no more fear when it comes to loving, even though I, just like the people in metallica and most human beings, struggle with the boredom of the world. but thank God that even as a child I was blessed by prophets of God though they themselves may not know it.

imo they are the representation of the new man and God lead them and still leads them in ways that we did not know.

i'm escaping the bondage of the religious mindsets. it is satan that wills that my own brothers be my enemies and enemies of God. it is 'wickedness' that would slander good people, just because they don't conform to social standards and norms of the already dead christian religion. because the only eternal kingdom is Gods kingdom.

I have enemies on all sides of me. everywhere I go I have people lying to me all day long. atheist are my enemies. religious people are my enemies. my only friends are the ones that most reject but God has accepted them and me.

I don't expect anything from anyone anymore, because everyone acts like i'm their enemy. my only consolation is when people stop acting insane and start blessing the Lord in spirit and in truth.

metallica represents true humanity and that is exactly what Jesus Christ represents. there is nothing nonspiritual about true humanity. even 'the flesh' means "spiritual baby". I think their talents go hand in hand with the revelation that man has creativity just like their Father has and pure creativity is true spiritual action and life. it is the revelation of the Holy Spirit, the 8th day of creation.

i'm telling you brother, the rationalistic mindset of todays world are murdering christ so much. most appear to be infected with it. it's like a zombie plague. people would cast away themselves and everything else for the benefit of them thinking they understand reality deeply. it is literally like seeing babies being dashed to pieces by the Lord. it is tragic seeing and experiencing what people are doing to themselves in the name of the Lord.

the other side of the coin is an ignorant and shallow faith in the Lord. those two things are playing hand in hand to keep the world blind and chained down.

day after day I experience both atheist and believer who basically have the exact same frame of mind, with very minor differences. it is like watching the republicans and democrats endlessly destroy my country.

but even azazel, the fallen angel buried for 70 generations and covered over with sharp stones... his name means "God is my strength" and he is a type for Christ. it is God who kills and it is God who keeps alive!

Please don't take me wrong. I have listened to metallica since i was 14 years old. I listened to them when i was going through some very dark times. Im not condemning Metallica and i have listened to them. I learned how to play an acoustic solo arrangement for "nothings else matters" because i love the fingerstyle, its a beautiful song that many, many other people have copied. Im just saying that Paul can help us through our dark times. He helps me. I listen to Metallica though, sometimes.

yeah i was hoping you would not think i'm condemning you. I can see (to some degree) where you are coming from. if you remove the "https://www." then it won't mess up the forums AS much, :p AND you won't be able to type anything past the video ;S.

God has given me much music that has helped me through times of struggle and weakness. the sword of the spirit cuts both ways. we may stumble over Christ or we may walk with him. I have never listened to someone else sing this song, I will check it out.

good song ofc. :)
