I think mankind as a whole gains knowledge, but the timing has to be right. No point inventing the internet before electricity, or if you do it is called science fiction.<br /> <br />I have read that Einstein's first wife thought of the theory of relativity or had a big part in the ideas. Then she became schizophrenic (or so it was claimed) and got locked up in an asylum and Einstein remarried (his cousin I believe). Of course back in those days women really weren't taken seriously, but the first wife did go to university at the same time as Einstein and studied with him. <br /><br />I remember WCG said something like - various inventions and discoveries which seemed to come out of the blue were revealed to mankind by spirits, maybe the bad ones. Someone in WCG had an answer for everything.

His was not the most painful death by any means from a physical standpoint. Though I have no idea the pain of death might be for Jesus as God. I simply do not know.<br /><br />But, God never says that it would be the most awful of deaths. Man said that.<br /><br />There simply had to be a sacrifice of blood. We can all speculate on why that makes sense, or for some, why it does not. It was the death and not the pain that removed our sins from us. Yes, His death was not permanent, but the reason for His death was life; His life resurrected and then others later as Christ was the first born of many brethren.<br /><br />Though throughout my life I have speculated on the questions of the article and the comments, I do not have a need to fully understand all these "mysteries". That has not always been the case for me, but now I have joy in knowing the Lord and His peace. It is real and I can only say it comes through accepting Christ's sacrifice and focusing on your walk with the Lord rather than not measuring up.

WCG always was a bit blank about this. First we weren't supposed to go to doctors, then told if we were sick we had sinned somewhere or our parents had sinned by having bad genes, and then if someone dies we will see them again..... really, and how long does that take and will it actually ever happen? Even 'worldly churches' handle this better and are often offer a refuge for the grieving whether they believe or not.<br />When ministers came fresh from AC most were too young to know personally about grief, but we all get our lessons. The Bible itself has some weird insensitive stories, like the story of Job where his 10 children died and then God gives him 10 more, as though that is ok.

My beautiful and sweet young wife die a horribly painful death from cancer at the age of 37. I also lost my dream girl from youth who was looking for a second chance at life at the age of 47. Her parents came to her apartment and beat her 2 hours before she died. The pain is still there and can never fully go away in this life.<br /><br />However, I do find some consolation from 1 Thes. 4 v 13 "But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope". If there is no resurrection, not just for the first fruits, but especially for the vast majority of mankind who had no clue and had no hope, then we are but fools believing a myth. But I choose to believe that a loving Creator will some day wipe away all tears and set things straight. It's just a matter of time.

Now that we have come to realize that there is no magic, no intervening super being, and that all religious books were written by men who had agendas, it is time to move on and apply ethics and fairness to govern. Time to grow up and admit that Santa, Easter Bunny, Satan, Allah, Jehovah, etc., are all make believe. To me it is obvious that there is a source of all creation, but it's not some god spoken of in any religious book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-18896951424625348012017-04-20T04:31:52.185-07:002017-04-20T04:31:52.185-07:00Anon 11:16.

Equality is a fairly simple concept, whereas equilibrium is the state of a system as a function of time.<br /><br />E=mC^2 is the exchange rate between matter and energy, without respect to what might be happening to that matter and energy in any system it might be a part of. In the middle of a supernova explosion, when the system we call a star is in radical disequilibrium, still the conversion factor remains fixed at all times.<br /><br />On the other hand, it is possible to say that in a moment in time on October 2, 1923, the conversion factor between gold and reichsmarks was 1oz = 6,631,749,000 marks, despite the fact that the German currency's value was in radical disequilibrium. By October 9, the exchange rate had fallen to 1oz = 24,868,950,000 marks. The fact that an equal sign is employed here tells you nothing about the equilibrium or disequilibrium of the exchange rate, but is merely an instantaneous observation without respect to changes in time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-41163632152818667622017-04-19T23:23:30.405-07:002017-04-19T23:23:30.405-07:00Entitlement?

You not only drive it in, you twist the blade over and over again. There was a minister in UCg several years prior to the split with COgWA that apologized for all the people he had hurt in not understanding grief and loss. He had just lost his mother. His first major loss.<br /><br />Your comment, "The mother who lost her daughter was ignoring the fact th[at] God's Plan allows for a physical resurrection, something only COG's seem to understand. All hope is not lost." <br /><br />I don't know whether you are that clueless or are just a perfect example of the lack of love in the COg's. That comment is, at the least, an ignorant(unlearned) statement. At most it is, and it comes across this way, without empathy or compassion, cruel, heartless (ungodly) and very self-righteous.<br /><br />Proverbs 25:20. As he that takes away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so he that sings songs to a heavy heart. <br /><br />You have left someone feeling very cold and in danger of death due to taking away their protection from the 'cold' and if you have ever put vinegar on baking soda (nitre) you know what a reaction that causes. It boils up and foams over. If in an enclosed 'vessel' it can explode. <br /><br />People that say things like you have, minimizing or mocking someone's pain and saying they have no understanding or faith is totally out of line. You should be ashamed of yourself. Would you talk to a small child that way who had lost a parent? If you would, I suggest you keep your thoughts to yourself until such time as you find some sense of compassion and empathy because you will cause damage the likes of which you. have.
