One Last Word ­ On God’s Word and then I will leave

you to rest, Mr. Darwin Bedford.

For a brief moment, can you imagine yourself as being

God?  You create various reflections of yourself, your

greatest reflective "image" being man, as “God created

man in His image.” But why would God want a reflective

image? All images, as mirrors, reflect one self, and

in God’s case, all images were created for the sole

purpose to harmoniously work together in reflecting

God’s glory. His glory contains his attributes and

qualities, some or which are love, kindness,

compassion, joy, peace and long suffering.

Its obvious mankind does not reflect these qualities

or do you think that today’s warfare and bombing,

starvation of undeveloped countries, hatred

destruction of the environment to feed our political

and economic systems that exist today are part of

God’s reflective image?

What happen then? Sin entered into the world. We all

know about Adams choice of independence which brought

sin into the world. But do we know the meaning of free

will? Do you have children? If so, you should love

that they have a free will to decide their own joys

and do on their own what makes you happy. If you could

control them to do what you wanted, would that make

you happy? They would love you only out of your

coercion and munipulation.

Can you imagine, God speaks a “Word.” The “Word”

becomes a human being on earth. God owns His word, its

merely His thought. Yet He turns His very thought into

a man giving it a separate identity and the power of

free will, the very power to say to God, “I don’t need

you, and I don’t want you, or as Darwin Bradford puts

it, "Fuçk you.”  By the way, this “Word” did neither

that and the name of this “Word” that became a human

was Jesus Christ.

I can tell you about Jesus Christ, about sin, about

blood and about sacrifice. But do you really want to

hear this? Instead you violently complain, why such an

elaborate scheme? Why does God have all this hocus

pocus? What is all of this nonsense?  What kind of God

creates all of this hard to understand information and

for what? Or in your case, Darwin, you spit out words

like "fuçk you." If he is God, then he should have the

power to just make things the way they are supposed to

be-end of story.

Now I will speak and please open your ear for a just

minute of your life. Unlike geometry, physics and

chemistry, the bible is not for intellectuals. Nor is

it for theologians, that’s right it’s not for

theologians. It’s not a book to read to learn about

God. It’s a book to learn from God. It’s a book that

the smartest of men fail to understand. Why such an

elaborate scheme? What type of people do you think

will take the time out to read about God’s elaborate

scheme and honestly and openly try to undertand it?

Humble people. People who are humble, who are willing

to admit when they screw up and allow others to take

pot shots at them. They are people who are non

judgmental of others and exercise compassion and

mercy. There are not the majority of religious

leaders, rather they are the nobodies of the world,

the ones who investigate the schemes and the meaning

there of.

Now, get this: the intellectuals who take the time to

investigate this book to obtain mere knowledge, the

ones who like to show off and give fancy speeches,

they never understand the real meaning of the book,

but the poor humble, low intelligent people do. Why?

Are you ready, Mr. Natural man? The answer is the

bible is a supernatural book and God opposes the

prideful and arrogant and religiously pious people,

but loves the humble, poor and outcasts of society.

When a person has both the book to read and the

invisible supernatural Spirit that God gives them,

they can understand the simple truths. Whereas the

wise, prideful and intellectual man who fails to have

this Spirit gets a nice dose of history, geography and

theology but never knows God.

One more thing, it doesn’t matter how religious you

are. You can be the high priest of the largest church

on earth, but if you don’t walk with the Spirit, with

humilty towards others, you never walk with God. You

may learn about Him, but you never will learn from

Him, the difference being from knowing about someone

from a history book or knowing someone who lives right

inside your very body, that’s right your very body.

Lastly. Look around you and what do you see? Streets,

buildings, cars, furniture and so forth. Just as real

as all of this is, there’s an invisible realm

consisting of more life than you can even imagine. It

takes a humble man who seeks this real life with

something called faith to see it. And were not talking

about blind faith. This faith is based on reality, one

of the Spirit. The only tangible thing I can give you

right here and now is this: Men do not represent

anything, neither do any visible religious

organizations on earth. But God’s Word and His Spirit

out side of this Word do. And these two elements both

reveal Jesus Christ, as God’ very thought materialized

in a human form, paying the price for man's sin with

His blood, dying for him, and forgiving all of mankind

on the face of this earth, for all those who put faith

in his resurrection and appointment as God’s King, as

God Himself.

Very truly yours,
