But the terminology they used about 'the essence within', the 'inner spirit' etc etc. I just wanted to shake them and say, 'You're talking about Jesus'. They were also talking about shame and it's effects. You would have thought they were using the soul diagram as their reference. Quite amazing. At the appropriate time however, I was able to share about Jesus as we stood in their 'sacred space', in the midst of some bizarre rituals. The name of Jesus was lifted higher in that place, and I know from comments made later, that the Holy Spirit worked through that to draw some a little closer to the truth. Thanks for being my teacher.

I know I would.”</I> <BR/><BR/>Certainly it's titillating to think about, but is it worth speculating on?<BR/><BR/><I>“John’s silence, with respect to the dead man’s experience, speaks volumes. Personally I don’t think it ever crossed John’s mind to interview Lazarus. Why?”</I> <BR/><BR/>Baxter, you may suspect one thing or another, but if you put aside your notions regarding the state of the dead and consider for a moment that perhaps the most logical explanation is that John and the rest of the gathering had no curiosity regarding Lazarus' activities or thoughts while dead, because they all knew full well that he had had no awareness or consciousness for the past four days until the moment he was brought back to life by Jesus. Possible? <BR/><BR/>And could that be the experience that lay ahead for all of us who place our hope in a resurrection from the dead at the return of our Messiah?The Old Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18440904298603055341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876933803200242837.post-13515893932165588082008-06-03T10:22:00.000-05:002008-06-03T10:22:00.000-05:00thank-you to our Lord Jesus for men like you that ...thank-you to our Lord Jesus for men like you that continue to be revealed The Truth. there is a dissapointing feeling when i realized that we north americans of western culture, are a bunch of spoiled brats that really do not fully understand the Trinity and our responsibilties.

He is constantly working in our lives. maybe one day we will all begin to understand what Jesus really means to the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876933803200242837.post-46142165470817012892008-05-31T21:28:00.000-05:002008-05-31T21:28:00.000-05:00Dear Sir, I just happened upon your blog.

I wonder if when Peter got there before John, Jesus smiled and said, "Told ya" in a joking way. I wonder if Judas was instantly healed of the pain he felt that so drove him to suicide. I wonder what it was like when my own father met him. I can look back now and see so much of the Shared Zoe of the Father, Son, and Spirit in my dad's life that to a large degree he was unaware of but must have experienced hints about. I'll bet you your Spanish land grant they're having a large time and a finely aged Scotch! We can be so sure of our union, acceptance, and adoption into the Father's embrace that we need not fear death one single bit. Passing into the full "weight of glory" will be welcomed. Thank you Jesus- Light of the Kosmos- for fulfilling the Father’s dream to have us in union with the Blessed Trinity!bill winnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04515097337625658100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876933803200242837.post-44324717843590496042008-05-27T09:59:00.000-05:002008-05-27T09:59:00.000-05:00My grandfather passed away just this morning so th...My grandfather passed away just this morning so this post was very significant. thank you for sharing.

It was published in our local newspaper last weekend. The article finished with this statement, "God does not belong to us, nor the Christians, nor does God belong to the Jews. It is we who belong to God."<BR/>Thank God that he included us in Jesus.<BR/>Hope to see you in Oz sometime soon.<BR/>Kevin and Cath HamerDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06601446749824823537noreply@blogger.com
