An Introduction

I was raised Christian (Pentecostal). One Sunday, when I was about 15 years old (in the year 1994 or 1995), I was in church with my mother, ...

Tweets - April 27th - Gardening

I was out earlier doing a little gardening. I make my own soil blend for my herbs and vegetables. It really is a bit labor intensive - mixing and shoveling soil, filling grow bags, transplanting seedlings - you have to devote time out of your day to get it all done.

The thing about gardening is that no one in their right mind would ever half-ass it. It's never done lazily. Why go through all the manual, tiring, back-aching labor, with a strong chance of producing nothing.

Sure, there's always the risk of failure (as I can't control what my plants do or how they'll react to changes), but if I see my plants leaning toward death, I'm going ALL IN to ensure that what I started will be completed, and that my harvest is plentiful.

I am human, an animal walking this Earth. God is THE Gardener. If I, a human, an animal, will see the work of my labor through until harvest, then it's safe to assume that God THE Gardener, will also see it through, with far more effort than I could ever give.

So, you have to understand that the concept of hell and eternal torment is extremely offensive to God. If God plants you like a seed, then God will put in extensive labor and work to see that you sprout, grow and produce fruit. When God harvests you, it will be to eternal life.

But if God does not plant you like a seed, then you can still grow as the environment allows (as you know), but you'll undergo decay, like every other plant in this place. Eternal fire does not fit the narrative.

Now, if a plant is a weed in an attempt to consume the Garden and choke the plants of Yahweh's favor, the work and effort of God's hands, then God will grab the Round-Up and kill off the weeds once and for all. Their roots will dry up completely. Watch and see.

I'm getting the idea that tonight may be an interesting night in the skies above Laurel, Maryland. I think I need advice on how to move forward, and who better to give it than those who've walked with God much longer than I, even for thousands of years.
