Blast From The Past: January 7, 2020

Tue Jan 7 19:39:37 MST 2020 Let’s talk about today than shall we? I’d like to think it would be a nice moment in time if we could simply get along with everything that happens in this life, yet I doubt it will. It’s a shame if you think about it. A real shame. But what are you going to do with any of it? No one knows exactly. So here we sit waiting for something better to come along, hoping for something to happen and allowing us to actually see what is real and what isn’t.

Religion WTF

Religion and all things relating to it are man made constructs. There is no higher power at play. It all comes from the simple minds of people. That’s the simple truth of it all. There is no middle ground, no shades of grey.

Life happens when we least expect it. There are two extremes in this life. It is either good or it is evil. There isn’t much of a middle ground as far as that is concerned. At the center of it all is some kind of God figure watching the world simply burn.

If there is a God, He doesn’t show much for His children. Sure you can say He is bound by laws, doesn’t mean it’s true.

It could be my psychosis thinking all of this up. I do not know the reason behind it all. If there were a God at the center of it all, would He really make me this way? Why is that? Am I meant to suffer?

Maybe life is meant to be cruel at times. I mean come on now, what would you rather believe? This life is perfect? I think not!

Life has its reasons to be whatever it wants to be. There is no telling how this life will use and manipulate us to do its bidding. That’s life for you. Doesn’t make much sense now does it? Nope! I didn’t think so either.

Life is but a great mystery we don’t quite fully understand or grasp. I don’t think anyone really gets the whole picture. It would be nice to be able to see it all from a different perspective. But, that can’t always be the case.

Such a sad state of affairs to live in such a life. We simply cannot deal with the problems life brings us on our own. Take that as a fact. We need a support group of sorts. That’s all there is to it.

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

Temptation Bible vs Book of Mormon

In the Bible in 1 Corinthians 10:13 we find: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able ; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. But what might seem as a contradiction is found in Alma 13:28 But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear , and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering; So, which is it? Either God tempts you to a point and stops, or you have to actively pray not to be tempted beyond that no return point. Which is it?

An Opposition In All Things

Long has been the story told about how there must be an opposition in all things. From the pre-existence there was Satan, Lucifer the Son of the Morning. In the beginning we were with God in his presence. We learned all we could while there. Until the moment we couldn’t progress any more, we were unable to become like God. So, we were given the opportunity to come to Earth to gain a body. A Savior would be provided to atone for our sins enabling us to come back to the presence of God. The idea that an opposition must be in all things comes from 2nd Nephi: For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither...
