of being old. You get lots of naps. I need lots of naps. I thank all of you, and I do mean all of you for responding to my last post/hub. If you have seen my home hub page there is a picture of Jesus & how he appeared to me in the sky when I was a boy of 10.
I did not learn about Jesus from anyone's Church of Organized Religion, or UnOrganized Religion. I did not learn about Jesus from the Bible, books of the Torah, or any other books. I learned about Jesus directly from Jesus. I do not own Jesus. I do not own any person. No one owns me. In this world I am merely a Bill Payer, and a renderer to Caesar but only until I leave this world so it's only until then.
I do not belong to anyone's Religion at all. I belong to the Kingdom that Jesus taught that is not of the world of man, this world.
In Jesus's hand is a Book when he appeared to me. It is difficult to explain but book like the Bible, the books of Torah, and any other Book are just reference books for me. I do not have anything to do with the Politics of the world of man at all.
My friends & I just meet in one another's home to discuss Jesus's teachings, & prophecy.
It isn't my my job to judge this world, nor any person upon the earth.
A friend invited me to his holiday gathering over the holidays. I walked in & said, The Kingdom of Heaven is not of the world of man, this world, at that particular friend's home.
Sat on the couch & drank coffee. There was another fellow there that I had met a couple years before through the same friend. In between times the friend that invited him played a song I wrote & recorded in the early 80's The fellow said it was one of the greatest songs he ever heard.
Wow, I have a fan. At least I have one.
Most people who have seen me perform either live, or just hacking around the guitar would tell you I remind them of John Lennon musically even thought I can play & write in almost any musical form. I have 1000's of songs stored somewhere in my brain.
Instant memory is going to get you, make you worried & feel afraid, instant credit is going to get you, make you worry & feel afraid, instant cream of wheat is gong to get you, make you worry & feel afraid. No no no no, veggies for me, can't you see, I'd rather have ice cream.
So the guy at my friend's gathering picks up my friend's guitar & plays for awhile. The guitar gets handed off to me, and Bang. My personality is such that I seldom say much or talk to anyone much about anything. I just usually set & drink coffee.
I am not Mr. Conversationalist. At best I just usually make some joke about things unless someone desires to discuss Jesus or prophecy.
So another women comes into the holiday gathering, and every one except myself & the other guy get up & go talk to her in their kitchen. He's talking to me about music. I am doing what would be called a folk riff of folk music on the guitar while singing, Let's twist again like we did last summer, let's twist again like we did last year.
So he thinks I am just doing parody of a twist song to folk music as he likes folk music when I just playing the riff & singing whatever comes into my mind without any parody intended.
So I am playing him a song I wrote last summer that has a Dylan feel to the song. A folk feel to the song because there are only so many musical formats & that particular song fit that format.
It's a really good song, too.
So everyone comes back into the living room. The woman that came in sits down on a chair by the close to couch I am sitting upon. She says to me, I want you to play me a song. I just look at her like, what, that's what I have been doing is playing songs.
I am just kind of looking at her like, what?
And I just stop playing. Everyone starts laughing. They're going, oh, come on play a song. And I say, but now I have to "Think" about a song to play when I was just sitting here playing songs. Just letting things flow like a river.
So eventually I play a song I wrote, and she says, Now I have my Bob Dylan for the night.
I informed her I am not Bob Dylan. I pointed at the friend who invited us, and said, He's Bob Dylan. I am not Bob Dylan.
So in between some work I needed to accomplish I got back outside & did some more walking in the woods before I took nap. The latest song I wrote is called Whore of Babylon about Mystery Babylon in Revelation Chapter's 17 & 18. I haven't completely wrote the song, but so far it drives & smokes.

If Jesus never wrote anything why is the New Testament the basis of Christianity?If Paul wrote 2/3 of the New Testament is Christianity not a Pauline invention since Jesus wrote none of it?

Hypothetical question about editing a friend's writing.Let's say a friend of yours is self publishing their book and they are one more step away from a final product. You know they are going to publish it, and yet they ask you to read it in the hopes of finding some last minute quick fixes. As you...

Before I begin; I want to say, I do believe in GOD and the Messiah. So I'm not disputing the existence of God. Though I do dispute many discriptions of him and where he is. I'm just asking a question that believers (we) should all ponder. How is it that the church...

This is simply for Christians to share and discuss the prophecies they may know well, and/or better than some of the rest of us. It is for edifying and educating each of us further in understanding our God's Word. Though I posted it for prophecies, I think it would do us well to share scriptures in...
