Is there really a God ?
A father’s witness to his sons for the Love of them.
My testimony to my sons
Son, I would like to ask you two questions; Do you think that this world (earth) we live on just evolved by chance? If so, then you should toss this in the trash. However, if you think this world (earth) might have been designed, then let me ask you my second question. For what purpose was the earth designed, how and by what? Ok, I used one question to ask three, forgive me please.
There’s been great controversy over “evolution” vs. “intelligent design” I’m not sure why but I suspect because man is involved.
Let me explain; look around the earth all you see is conflict, not peace but the absences of conflict. Why? Man. Man has “never” created a thing but continues to destroy everything in his own lust for more. When is enough, enough? I know I’m full of questions, I’m sure you are also. It’s for this reason I went looking for some answers and here’s what I found.
Now before you open the second letter, take this $20 bill and go to the store and buy the list enclosed.
______________________________________________________________________
OK, now you have whats on the list I would like you to take each item as I cover them below and really, I mean really focus on what is said about each one.
Every whole food has a pattern that resembles a body organ or physiological function and that this pattern acts as a signal or “sign” as to the benefit the food provides the eater.
For instance:
Slice the Carrot it looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye…and YES science now shows that carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.
Cut the Tomato look at it it has four chambers and is red.
The heart is red and has four chambers. All of the research shows tomatoes are indeed pure heart and blood food.
Look at the Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a
blood cell and all of the research today shows that grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.
Look at the Walnut it looks like a little brain. Crack it open look see the left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds are on the nut just like the
neo-cortex. We now know that walnuts help develop over 3 dozen neuro-transmitters for brain function.
See the Kidney Beans whats it look like, Yea and they actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the
human kidneys.
Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don’t have enough sodium in your diet the body pulls it from the bones, making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.
Avocados, Pears and Eggplant, target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today’s research shows that when a woman eats 1 avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight and helps to prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? .. it takes exactly 9 months to grow an Avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).
Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the motility of male sperm and increase the numbers of sperm as well to overcome male sterility.
Sweet Potatoes look like the
pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.
Grapefruits, Oranges, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.
Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries.
Onions look like body cells. Today’s research shows that onions help clear waste materials from all of the
body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes.
Bananas, Cucumber, Zucchini and more target the size and strength of the male sexual organ. It's true!
Peanuts have a profound effect on the testicles and sexual libido. Peanuts were banned as a food for males by the church during the middle ages. Most people don't realize that Argentine, the main component of Viagra, comes from peanuts
Then I remembered that Daniel of the Bible went through a test on food, so I found in the Bible where Daniel challenged his capture’s guardian on what to eat. King Nebuchadnezzar took Jerusalem and moved all the young men to his kingdom putting them under a guardian’s care.
The king also sent to them “from the kings food”. Daniel being a Hebrew believing in the God of his fathers sought the chief eunuch to let him and his friends not be required to eat the kings food. Well the eunuch feared the king would see that Daniel and his friends would become worse than all the other boys under his care.
So what? Well in this time (605 BC) if people did not do as the king said they died, it’s that simple. Hearing this Daniel made the following statement,
“Please, test your servants ten days. And let some of the vegetables be given to us that we may eat, and water that we may drink. And let our face be seen before you, our look and the appearance of the boys who eat of the king’s food. And as you see, do so with your servants.” The king’s guard said ok for ten days. “At the end of ten days he saw their appearance to be better and fatter of flesh than all the boys who were eating the king’s food. And it happened the guardian took away their food and the wine that they were to drink, and he gave them vegetables.” (Dan 1:11-15)
After seeing this I knew that there is more here than just design issues. There must be a purpose and if so what is it? You know we are son’s and grandson’s of God fearing men; I decided to give in to that nagging draw to learn more about our fathers’ God. Now know this son, I have always believed in God but I’ve always had a problem with “man’s religion” because of the way in which it requires people to understand God their way. In short man has never created anything but destruction and yet says this is love. If that’s love then leave me out.
So one day riding my motorcycle a thought came to me, having been trained in Law, I know that in presenting a case before the Trier of FACTS (jury) I have set testimony in an order for a reason. Also I know that TRUTH “requires” each juror to hear this testimony for themselves and not rely on hearsay (what someone says) which in our legal system is not admissible in a Court of Law. So I gave in and said a prayer to God asking Him to give me an answer. I’m not sure why, but He did and much to my surprise.
Here’s the answer, “hear My testimony with your own eyes” and “I will change you mind”.
You can imagine what I thought, with my eyes? Then I remembered that in Law School I was told that reading “case law” is like hearing testimony with our eyes. So I said, “self do it.”
The next thing I did was researched the Testimony of God (the Bible) as we know it today. Why you asked? Because in a court of law we want all evidence to be TRUTH. Therefore, I went in search of TRUTH. What a journey I'm on.
What I found was that the Bible has been divided into two parts (testimonies) not just one. Let me explain. The first (the Old Testament) is the testimony from the witness on behalf of God, what He’s done and what He promises to do. The second testimony (the New Testament) is from His Son and His witness’ about God, what He’s done and what He has promised.
Finding this out I also discovered that each Testimony was penned in it’s own language. The first in Hebrew the second in Hebrew & Greek. Now I don’t speak (or read) either language, yet, so I needed to find a way to translate the testimonies into my language. I set out on another fact finding research mission and so far here is what I found.
I prayed like I had never prayed before, saying,
“Lord, I don’t know what to tell You. I am so dry, so empty. There is nothing in me. It’s all in my head, but there is nothing in my heart. I have been going on week after week, pushing myself. Lord, I read in your Word about this thing called ‘the power of the Holy Spirit.’ I don’t know what I must do, but I ask You, would You please fill me with Your Holy Spirit and give me the power to minister tonight in Your name?”
Whatever your interpretation of Scripture is on this point, please listen: Be filled with the Special Breath (Holy Spirit). The reason for this is because serving God is not like working for a company or a political party. It is not accomplished merely by using our money and our plans. With enough skills, drive and money, anybody can do that kind of work. Here’s what I got!!!
“If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, whatever you desire you will ask, and it will be done to you. In this My Father is glorified, that you should bear much fruit; and you will be disciples to Me. As the Father loved Me, I also loved you; continue in My love. If you keep My commandments (teachings) you will continue in My love, as I have kept My Father’s commandments (teachings) and continue in His love. I have spoken these things to you that My joy may abide in you, and your joy may be made full. This is My commandment (teachings), that you love one another as I loved you. Greater love than this has no one, that someone should lay down his soul (life) for his friends. You are My friends if you do whatever I command (teach) you. I no longer call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master does. But I called you friends, because all things which I heard from My Father I made known to you. You have not chosen Me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and should bear fruit, and your fruit remain, that whatever you may ask the Father in My name, He may give you. These things I command (teach) you, that you love one another.... If I had not come and had not spoken to them, they had no sin. But now they have no excuse as to their sin…… But when the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit (Breath) of Truth who proceeds from the Father, that One will witness concerning Me…… I have spoken these things to you so that you may not be made to stumble… But because I have said these things to you, grief has filled your heart. But I speak the truth to you, it is profitable for you that I should go; for if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you. But if I go, I will send Him to you. And having come, that One will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment; concerning sin, truly, because they do not believe in Me; and concerning righteousness, because I am going to the Father, and you no longer see Me; and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. I have yet many things to teach you, but you are not able to bear them now. But when that One comes, the Spirit (Breath) of Truth, He will guide you into all Truth, for He will not speak from Himself, but as many things as He hears, He will speak; and He will announce the coming things to you. I have spoken these things to you that you may have peace in Me. You have distress in the world; but have courage, I have overcome the world. (John 15,16) And this is never-ending life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Christ, the One whom You sent.” (John 17) Amen
Only by going back to the each and every word of the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts can we ever attempt to have the pure translation that Charles Spurgeon above desires. This is what I am doing. And here's what I found out so far.
