We all start out knowing magic. We are born with whirlwinds, forest fires, and comets inside us. We are born able to sing to birds and read the clouds and see our destiny in grains of sand. But then we get the magic educated right out of our souls. We get it churched out, spanked out, washed out, and combed out. We get put on the straight and narrow and told to be responsible. Told to act our age. Told to grow up, for God’s sake. And you know why we were told that? Because the people doing the telling were afraid of our wildness and youth, and because the magic we knew made them ashamed and sad of what they’d allowed to wither in themselves. ~ Robert R. McCammon

WAS JESUS A MAN??? Yes or No??? It seems that every "Christian" out there thinks that Jesus IS the Most High..... And it just makes no sense! Examine these verses! You CANNOT argue that Jesus was not a MAN. He lived as a MAN, He died as a MAN, and He was even the self proclaimed "Son of MAN." But right here in Mathew 24:36 He tells you that "NO MAN KNOWS THE DAY" only the Father knows the day! Jesus is NOT the Most High folks! He is the SON of the most high! He does NOT pray to himself! He prays to HIS FATHER, the Most High! Matthew 24 1599 Geneva Bible 30 And then shall appear the [s]sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the [t]kindreds of the earth [u]mourn, and they shall see the Son of man [v]come in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his Angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect, from the [w]four winds, and from the one end of the heavens unto the other. 32 [x]Now learn the parable of the fig tree: when her bough is yet [y]tender, and it putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near. 33 So likewise ye, when ye see all these things, know that the kingdom of God is near, even at the doors. 34 Verily I say unto you, this [z]generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. 35 [aa]Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 36 [ab]But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no not the Angels of heaven, but my father only. There are many other passages where He says that His words are not His own, but of HE WHO SENT ME. Preachers seem to even need this lesson! While I'm no bible scholar by any means..... I do know that the FATHER is NOT also "The Son" The Father dwells within the Son, He gives the Son messages for the people, and spiritually "they are one" because Jesus is FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT OF THE FATHER! But He is not the father! He is the SON! He's my Lord and Savior, He's the head of the church and He has ALL AUTHORITY on this earth! But those things were given to Him BY THE FATHER! There are so many examples of Jesus Himself denying being the Father! Jesus was baptized by John, and the heavens opened and the Most High said "This is my beloved SON, with whom I'm well pleased" So..... what happened there? Are you claiming that Yahuwah Himself was baptized, and after He left his human body, jumped up into heaven to then speak to John??? You have to be mentally ill to believe this! And I already know 100 people will argue with me about this..... But I also know their arguments make no sense! They turn the entire bible into nonsense! There is the FATHER, and at His Right Hand is the SON! The Father's spirit fills the SON, the SON speaks the Father's words.... But He is NOT the Father! At least not without some SERIOUS MENTAL GYMNASTICS!!!

Ballad of the Unborn My shining feet will never run on early morning lawn; my feet were crushed before they had a chance to greet the dawn. My fingers now will never stretch to touch the winning tape; my race was done before I learned the smallest steps to take. My growing height will never be recorded on the wall; my growth was stopped when I was still unseen, and very small. My lips and tongue will never taste the good fruits of the earth; for I myself was judged to be a fruit of little worth. My eyes will never scan the sky for my high-flying kite; for when still blind, destroyed were they in the black womb of night. I’ll never stand upon a hill, Spring’s winds in my hair; aborted winds of thought closed in on Motherhood’s despair. I’ll never walk the shores of life or know the tides of time; for I was coming but unloved, and that my only crime. Nameless am I, a grain of sand, one of the countless dead; but the deed that made me ashen grey floats on seas of red. Fay Clayton

Matthew 7:1-3 are the most used and abused verses in the Bible https://imgflip.com/i/8s8rsp You need to read it "in context" to understand its' true meaning. 1. Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4. Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5. Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. 6. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. 7. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10. Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11. If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? 12. Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. 13. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 15. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17. Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 24. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. 28. And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: 29. For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
