  1. There are some interesting threads here concerning Momentus...I think that it's very revealing that Lynn and others involved themselves with this sinister form of psycho toilet training...

    anybody want to get into the lifeboat?

    Okay, I like what you said but I have to remark how very witty it was as well. I have been sitting here laughing.

  2. Hi Cman

    Yes darkness was after the earth became without form and void. It had form and void THEN something happened and it lost it -- then darkness moved upon the face of the waters.

    And the FIRST thing God speaks is LET there be Light. Then he seperates the darkness and the light calling the light good. This is the begining of polar opposites -- and seperation not integration of those things which are of God and those who are not. Remember Time means nothing to God so we do not know how look paradise was the home of Adam and Eve. But I think in his foreknowledge God already started the ball rolling -- with the finale in mind he called "his" into the light. But lets go back to that slice of time when they were still in the garden...

    Adam and Eve were unaware there was anything such as evil - it seems. They did not need to "hide" to protect themselves they were intimate with God. All was well. THEN they eat of the tree of knowledge and that knowledge is described as GOOD and EVIL. Lord know what they saw... Can you imagine? Then came the hiding and the clothes...They lost their "right" living and "right" standing - righteousness with God. Imagine the guilt and sin conscienceness. Now defenseless they seek protection - covering from this new development - evil. It probably came like a violent storm on them... And never having been in a storm they sought protection, covering...they hid. Down the line the next Adam -- Jesus clothes us in righteousness -- he COVERS us with his blood.

    Anyway - that is how I see it.

  3. My take:

    In Genesis 1:4 God already begins to SEPERATE polar opposites when he divided the LIGHT from the darkness. He saw the LIGHT and it was GOOD. He does not say the darkness was good.

    Genesis 1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

    Darkness and light had been separated.

    In the garden Adam and Eve only KNEW good. Once they ate of the TREE of the knowledge of Good and Evil they then KNEW Good and KNEW Evil. Evil is something they never knew before. They also were never disobedient before so after eating they KNEW evil and KNEW they did a bad thing -- perhaps the biggest UT-oh moment in history.

    So, then they found themselves exposed to things they had never been exposed to before -- and they were "naked" defenseless. They now knew evil and they had done a no-no so they were outside of the will of God and were naked to EVERYTHING. The realization they just walked away from GOOD and now sat at the table of BAD.

    Genesis 3:22 (Amplified Bible)

    22And the Lord God said, Behold, the man has become like one of Us [the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit], to know [how to distinguish between] good and evil and blessing and calamity; and now, lest he put forth his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever—

    In Psalms 23

    There is a book written by an actual shepherd who explains all of the things we gloss over. For instance SHEEP are easily led, easily frightened, they cannot rest if there is discourse among them, they only lie down if they can see the shepherd. They are defenseless creatures.

    I think the nakedness was to EVIL without defenses and now feeling alienated from God because they broke some form of covenant they had with him.

    Their nakedness was "without GOD". The symbol for this was trying to protect the FLESH with clothes because up until that point they were not living "carnal" fleshy lives. The

    Bible is loaded with symbols and symbolism -- such as Samson's hair was the external SYMBOL of the covenant he made.

    Then, the rest of the Bible God draws comparisons between good and evil. He does so by telling us there are two fathers - one of lies the other of love. He tells us the Shepherd seperates the Sheep from the goats. He tells us light has no fellowship with darkness, he calls us wheat and warns of tares, he calls us sheep and warns of wolves. HE gives us gift ministries like a prophet and a teacher then warns of false prophets and teachers. From Gen 1:4 on the Bible talks of polar opposites and which side you need to stay on and who and what to avoid. You can have some wine just do not get drunk. You can eat well but avoid gluttony. Etc, etc. Then, because we cannot do it alone he sends us Jesus and we are COVERED in his blood. We are no longer naked but we are now clothed in HIS righteousness... we were naked and Jesus covered us.

  4. Lets' see...

    The Gospels were out. The Book of Revelation was out. Any epistle after Titus was suspect (though there were a few verses that got cherry-picked out of James and I, II, and III John and cleaned up so they were good enough for use.)

    The OT was useful for controlling the masses... but if a NT verse would do it had to be used or emphasized.

    I'd say the phrase, "training in the whole word" was more like a class in "Swiss Cheese 101."

    Dooj - this IS sooooo true!!!!

  5. They have to get a map as well.

    It will be fun!!!

    I am sure we can all do a matinee, a little dinner, breath in the ambiance, talk and play!!!

    We are going for 3 days it will be my vaca.

  6. I need to find a place between Lttle Rock AR and Atl Georgia to meet some people. Both driving half way. I do not have a map. And online they want me to buy one.

    Anyone good at this and can give me some half way places? I thought Chattanooga was but it is good for me and way further for them.

    Thank you

  7. I had a friend HERE run one and they found nothing on him.

    My Dad's lawyer knew the judge in the case and said all would be well as she was reasonable -- so they were not worried. Except, last week, she died. She just died.

    Keep in your prayers. This man said that my Dad kicked him unconscience and continued to kick him and when he came to - he was kicking him. My dad, has a messed up hand from a botched operation where he cannot close his fist, and many other medical problems. The man never went "out" and my Dad hit him once with his hand that does not even make a fist.
