Well, let's start with what we do know. The Bible does describe a few unusual things, but we should focus on what is revealed to us as people of the earth through Jesus of Nazareth, who is the Son of God, and what He taught us as being vital to knowing God and entering the eternal Kingdom of Heaven--a timeless place. That would be a place removed from the physical laws of creation--described as "uncreated." God is a supreme being, not an alien-being, who became one of us as Jesus. While Jesus is male, divine authority is also revealed through parental authority, which would be both a father and mother figure, where Mary, while she did not share the same divine role as Jesus, she still represents the Holy, female nature of God. John even describes her as the "queen of heaven," in Revelation.
Paul describes as Christians we are given "the mind of Christ." But, since the Lord came to save our hearts and souls above our minds, women in general, tend to be closer to the heart of God, since they are more emotional beings. And they have this thing they do with their eyes, that men can not do, or explain. Doctors say the eyes of men and women are the same, so it must be a spiritual revelation. And they tend to be more telepathic than men. And it's not a cat vs. dog comparison, since dogs are more emotional than cats. But, cats are different beings than dogs, but not higher beings. I'm gonna go way out on the edge here and say that women are slightly higher beings than men, since they are given a higher place in the spiritual realm, even though Jesus, being the Son of God, is higher because He has a divine nature. Proof of this, is how desperately the enemies of God try to demean women--because they perceive them as a threat, even though many men do not, since we tend to see the world through the eyes of physical strength. But, nowadays these stereotypes area more difficult to define, but, the realities are still the same.
But, we are saved through a relationship with the Divine Son of God, and not with Mary, even though she is referred to by the Angel Gabriel as "blessed above all women." But, most pastors wont limit defining God only from a patriarchal point of view (male) and God wanted to express His devotion to women as honored, since as the weaker sex, they can be subjected to more abuses than males. So, if we see God as a Father figure, then He wanted to show men that women are to be honored, just as He honored them as a Father, and Jesus honored his mother as a son. And if we see God as a mother--mother earth; mother of mercy; mother of creation; mother of Jesus-- then God wanted to honor women as one
AND WE JUST HAD AN EARTHQUAKE HERE AT MCDONALD'S IN "SARAH PALIN'S" HOME TOWN (SARAH AND TODD PALIN) AS IF TO EMPHASIZE THE POINT!! FELT LIKE A 6.7 OR GREATER. SUNDAY MORNING HERE AT ABOUT 7:50AM (AKST--4:50PM GMT).
I'll leave it at that...
as one...
So, I need to get to church, but, if God became one of us, then God can not be considered an alien, or foreigner, but, someone so dedicated to saving this world, that He showed how far He would go, and did go to accomplish this act of Divine love, greater than any human being ever could alone. Some people say that God doesn't need us. But, this is not true. We are supposed to be Jesus to the world--we are present now in His place, and so have great power--His power--to make His presence real.
But, the power of God's love--the love of Christ-- is greater than earthquakes.
And, I just heard in my mind--
"Anchorage."
Not sure yet what happened, but, Anchorage is taking quite a bit of shaking up.
This jolt was different than the last one.
This one was quick-- the first one felt like a truck backed into the building.
Then the second one was a violent, quick jolt, which could mean another shallow, close-by epicenter.
Back with a report after church.
But, the Bible does seem to describe a possible "vessel" used by God to possibly traverse time and space--
inter-dimenensional stuff--always revealed from above...mountain tops etc...
But, Jesus is in a heavenly place-- "not of this world," He said.
And, God loves vessels-- Noah's Ark for one, to make a point; A vessel leading to life.
And, sadly, the Titanic is another.
An angelic voice in my mind just revealed:
"darkness."
I believe she is the same angelic voice confirmed by my bible one day in Zechariah--
