So That They Are Without Excuse

Sometimes I hear Christians tell people that they believe in God because of what they see in the creation. They will point to a bird flying and say something like "that's why I believe in God, his creation is so wonderful, it would take a wonderful God to create something so beautiful and graceful."

Possibly, they are referencing the verse in Romans 1:20 which tells us "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:"

So, we say we understand the beauty of a bird or a sunset or maybe a high mountain and we look in awe and try our best to give God the glory and praise for it all. Now God does get the glory for these things, as they truly are beautiful and amazing. His creation is remarkable! The problem though is Christians always want to see things with their natural eye and frankly all these things we see are so commonplace to us now that the impact on non-believers is minimal.

This got me to thinking about this verse, if we read it carefully it tells us the "invisible things of him" are clearly seen. We talk about birds, sunsets and mountains but these are all things that we can see and this verse is telling us about invisible things that are "being understood by the things that are made".

This means we have an understanding of these things, as do ALL things that are made. Therefore we don't go to a classroom and learn about these things, we understand them instinctively, along with the rest of creation. So the birds, fish, animals and even the plants and insects have understanding, which basically means that they bear witness to these things naturally, through their actions.

So these invisible things, that we understand, include but are not limited to "even his eternal power and Godhead;" yet we think He is telling us to enjoy looking at his creation. Yet taking in all the natural beauty we totally miss the spiritual aspect, which is where our life is.

In our natural bodies is death, yet that is the first stop we always make when trying to understand the things of God. We want to run down and baptize our flesh, we want to see someone come to the altar, we want to bless physical Israel and on and on. Most look at the effect on the flesh first and many of those never consider the spiritual things, which again is where our life is.

All the things we do in our bodies, in the physical plane of existence, are death and will reap death and will burn. Our life is all about the spiritual. If the body can find a small portion of something that runs over from the spiritual cup then that is not a bad thing but even that will reap death which is the nature of the flesh.

We have it backward, instead of the body reaping a benefit of what the spirit enjoys we let our spirit feed on the crumbs of what our flesh understands and enjoys. That is why we look at the birds and try to make that fulfill this verse.

We are also told "that they are without excuse" so we will not be able to claim that we didn't understand, we will all be "without excuse". So while we can we need to look with our spiritual eye, since the spirit is where our life resides anyway. So let's try to see it from that perspective.

Think of a seed, how it must die before it can achieve its true nature. Unless an acorn falls to the ground and dies it can not sprout into a great tree. This is true of all seeds, they must die. You see their empty husks break open as the life inside sprouts into what it was designed to become. This is the same in our lives as our flesh must also fall away and die before our true self can spout into its fullness.

Again, a caterpillar must be changed before its true nature can be revealed and it becomes a butterfly and more creatures do this before they attain their full adult nature. We see the shadowing of these things in nature and they are "clearly seen" and understood by us and even the lowly caterpillar bears witness.

Further, our natural bodies get dirty. We must shower each day to keep the filth off of us, just as we must wash clean our sins by the blood of Christ. We must eat to nourish our bodies just as we must eat of the Word of God in order to nourish our spirits.

We also see the Godhead, which is the understanding of the trinity in our lives. Most of us have several different titles such as a man who begins as someone's son, he will then usually becomes someone's husband and eventually he will be someone's father. This acknowledges the eternal Godhead of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the same way we are fathers, sons and husbands. These things are natural to us and yet most people never even think about it.

If you see what these examples in nature tell us about the invisible things of God, you can further understand that even in the "non-completion" of these things the Lord is glorified. For we know the path is narrow and few there be that will find it. 

Therefore we see that not everyone attains the titles of father, son and husband. Not every caterpillar turns into a butterfly, nor every acorn into a tree. If you don't take a shower you will stink. If you don't eat you will die. It is clear these things don't have to be completed. In fact we can say that the great majority don't make it to the fulfillment of their true purpose.

Unfortunately, the great majority of people in the world will not find the straight and narrow path either. Yet there is one thing we all must do. We all sleep and we all wake up, there is no getting out of that.

We can only stay away so long then we shut down and nothing can stop it, after we sleep we wake up again, there are no exceptions, the whole creation goes through this. Just as we will all one day, good or bad not withstanding, be resurrected and stand before God. Sleep is a reenacting of death and the resurrection is reenacted by waking again, and not just the resurrection of just but also of the unjust since the whole creation does it. There will be two resurrections and no one gets out, you will go to one or the other, there are no exceptions.

These things are naturally understood yet most of us never think much about it. Imagine standing before God and he explains how you acted out the resurrection every day of your life. He explains that you filled the role of the Godhead in your life, you showered away dirt and filth from your body, you watched butterflies and saw acorns grow into large trees and somehow you never caught on to any of these "invisible things of God".

So, the creation truly does understand these things. They are ingrained in us at our innermost beings, they are natural to us and ultimately we will all be without excuse.

THE CASE OF THE DISAPPEARING EARTHQUAKE

IS IT POSSIBLE A COVER UP IS IN PROGRESS CONCERNING AN 8.4 MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE THAT HIT LIBYA ON MAY 19th **updated**

A few days back I ran a story on the beams of HAARP that had been turned back up. I speculated that a major earthquake was possible due to this evidence. I assumed the target was the New Madrid fault line but now it seems that a large 8.4 earthquake has hit Libya but for some reason it is getting absolutely no coverage.

People are referring to this as "the case of the missing earthquake". As incredible as it sounds it does appear that a very large 8.4 magnitude earthquake has hit Libya, data reported by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre, clearly shows that it was a 8.4 magnitude earthquake. The strange thing is that now most all of the data has been purged from the reporting sites.

According to many researchers on the net, almost every scrap of data that showed the 8.4 magnitude earthquake has been deleted. One researcher that was following the event as it occurred reported that "all the sites that had info are wiped clean now…. why would that be?"

No one is talking about this. There are just a few scraps of data left that I can find and even those appeared to be tampered with. The only offer of explanation was given by an internet reporter who claims the 8.4 earthquake was the result of an equipment error and that the earthquake was really just a 5.2 and also that it had struck in the middle of the Libyan desert where the population is scarce. It appears just as likely that the 5.2 earthquake was an aftershock of the larger 8.4.

People are beginning to suspect HAARP since the beams we reported earlier this week have been turned back down and they came down on the 19th right around the time of this "missing earthquake". It is unthinkable that something like this could be covered up but as of now that seems to be exactly the case.

Either way the silence from the mainstream media is deafening, with all the talk of HAARP you would think someone would cover the story but unfortunately, none of the brain-dead zombies who watch the mainstream media believes in HAARP.

And we can rest well knowing the mainstream media isn’t going to say anything like that to the sheeple.

editors note: While this disappearing earthquake is mysterious, a crucial point was missing about the HAARP story. The beams that were transmitted were not 2.5 earthquake frequency beams but instead the main beam was at 1.7 which is the frequency for severe weather, including tornadoes. It can now be said that the tornado disaster in Joplin MO was HAARP induced.

We are fish in a barrel! The elite have now proven they can do to us as they wish and almost no one suspects a thing.

GET READY. HAARP HAS BEEN TURNED ON AGAIN

THERE IS EVIDENCE THAT HAARP HAS BEEN TURNED ON AGAIN AND ITS TARGET THIS TIME IS THE NEW MADRID FAULT LINE

If you are in the New Madrid fault line area of Indiana, Illinois, Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee be on the look out for glowing clouds, which are a signal of HAARP energy coming through the clouds and being directed into a particular location.

There is now strong evidence coming from the HAARP induction magnetometer that shows several distinct beams which are being transmitted into the region on full blast.

These signals were seen in Haiti, forty hours later a devastating earthquake. In Japan the induction magnetometer again showed a beam, fifty-five hours later another devastating earthquake. Now we are seeing these signals again, only now there are four distinct signals reading off the scale, all going off at once. Whatever, they are doing it should be huge.

If this attempt is successful, we should soon and very soon see a tremendous earthquake, more than likely in the New Madrid fault line area.

You may be interested to know that FEMA is also conducting a large weeklong exercise in the New Madrid region that will simulate a catastrophic earthquake.

A quote pulled from the FEMA blogsite states "The NLE 11 functional exercise, which will simulate a catastrophic earthquake in the New Madrid Seismic Zone, is scheduled to take place at venues in the national capital region and throughout the central U.S. These exercise activities are being carefully balanced with the current flooding and tornado-related disasters that FEMA and its partners are responding to, and adjustments have been made to exercise plans accordingly."

You may remember before 911 the government also just happened to be conducting exercises that simulated a similar attack on the area.

All signs point to an attack on the New Madrid fault sometime in the immediate future.

Be vigilant and pray.

May Day Trigger Pulled

Well, just as I was beginning to believe my "May Day" story from a few weeks ago was not going to pan out this year, what do we see?

Yesterday, May 1st, the trigger to massive riots was pulled. Bin Laden had supposedly been killed.

Now, I don't believe this claptrap news that he has been killed but that will not stop the riots.

This event probably had an element of being a well placed distraction story but rest assured that it fulfills the opportunity to celebrate May Day with riots triggered or beginning on said day.

We will have to see what happens.

A headline from Arutz Sheva IsraelNationalNews.com sums it up nicely:

Arabs Riot in Jerusalem Over Bin Laden's Demise, Hamas Angry

Similarly, Arabs in the village of Silwan, adjacent to the City of David neighborhood in Jerusalem, rioted Monday night in protest over the elimination of Osama Bin Laden.

editors note: I understand the entire middle east is in turmoil right now and riots abound but my understanding is that something of importance will spark riots or they will actually begin in conjunction with May 1st.

I wonder what next year will bring?
