Follow That Man Who Taught A Rainbow

Acting like a clown
I found as I looked around
I had fallen down
Just wanting to be
Someone you’d like to see
When I just should have been
me
A gray sky
the lies
and the mask
And when you can’t put it in words
It’s time to put it to an end
So I took thirty four pills
And lived
don’t know why I’m around
As I carry this grave around
But I’ve left town
I cannot go back down
All I lack is reason
Out of season
Yet I am alive

Though you think I should be ashamed
That I am to blame
I will have no shame
As I follow that man who taught a rainbow
Because there is gold at the end I know
Because I lived

As we gather around that pot of gold
I hope to see you then
see each other as we are
not as we thought
we were back when

My government supports terror groups, Renta soldiers and our military and CIA is all over the world doing things you don’t want to know about.

U.S. corporations are over seas polluting the air of other countries, stealing water from other nations and underpaying workers there so that workers will work longer hours in order to make a living.  They’re cutting forests, taking oil and other minerals at rock bottom prices.

True, I pay taxes, but the fact is, those taxes are taken out of my paycheck before I even get it.  I’m 51 years old and that has been going on all my life.  They don’t ask, they tell you, you want a job, you need a social security number.  You provide a social security and they deduct taxes out of your pay.   I have never been asked if that was ok or how this money should be spent.  You know why, because this is the land of the Brave and the free I am told.  They are brave as they freely take.  It’s not my fault.  Sure I get to vote, and so do you.  We get to vote for their plan A, or their plan B and in other states you get an option to vote for their plan C.

And is it my fault that Coca Cola sucked one of India’s largest wells dry that 100s of thousands of people depended on?  I didn’t even know about it until after it happened.  After I heard about it, I switched to Pepsi, I will never drink another Coca Cola.  Well guess what, Coca Cola owns Pepsi, now doesn’t that figure.

I am not to blame and you are not to blame.  You might be doing this and that and I’m not doing that, but instead I’m doing that and this.  We’re still doing something and yet nothing seems to be working.  But I’m still not to blame and neither are you.  Some people don’t seem to be doing nothing.  Well, nothing we seem to be doing is working.  I’m sure they would all jump right onboard if it looked like we were accomplishing something.

We are accomplishing nothing by blaming ourselves or others and as we accomplish nothing they win.  We need to do a little research and find out who “THEY” are, what is their agenda and why?  And they are not the republicans, liberals, christians or jews.  No they are not the muslims, nor the mexicans or the blacks.  If your research can only go as far as your narrow minded bigotry, then let me ask this?  Lets blame it on the bigots?  Bigotry however like hypocrisy is a human frailty that we all suffer from and then we would all be back to blaming each other.

You have to be willing to do open minded research without prejudice and both share and welcome ideas with others and as we discover who they are, what their agenda is and why, we might, together, find a way to beat them.

Genesis 5:18 And Ja´red lived on for a hundred and sixty-two years. Then he became father to E´noch. 19 And after his fathering E´noch Ja´red continued to live eight hundred years. Meanwhile he became father to sons and daughters. 20 So all the days of Ja´red amounted to nine hundred and sixty-two years and he died. 21 And E´noch lived on for sixty-five years. Then he became father to Me·thu´se·lah. 22 And after his fathering Me·thu´se·lah E´noch went on walking with the [true] God three hundred years. Meanwhile he became father to sons and daughters. 23 So all the days of E´noch amounted to three hundred and sixty-five years. 24 And E´noch kept walking with the [true] God. Then he was no more, for God took him.

I read the bible when I was a teenager and I remember reading this and questioning Christianity then because Enoch was apparently saved and Jesus hadn’t even come yet.  The reply I believe I had gotten when questioning this was, “without the Holy Spirit we cannot understand the bible.”  Sadly I bought that, wasn’t too bright back then.  Now that I’m reading it again, now I’m like like “wait a minute.”

Jesus said that he had to give his life for our redemption and further he explains that only through him can we enter the Kingdom.  I’m not going to say that those things are false, I’m just going to say that maybe these things are misunderstood, Jesus taught not an eye for eye a tooth for a tooth, but should someone strike you, turn the other cheek so that they can strike the other side.  He brought us a higher law, to do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

To understand what Jesus meant by these things he had said, lets look at what he did.    The religious leaders of his time who represented God taught an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth and only by following a strict code could one please God.  Jesus had come with a higher law teaching that if someone strike you on the cheek, turn the other so that they may strike you again, to do unto others as you would have them do unto you.  That the meek should inherit the earth and peacemakers should be called sons and daughters of God and to forgive those who persecute you.  These teaching went strongly against the teachings of the religious leaders of his time and they were angered by this believing that if this man was the messiah he claimed to be, his teachings would go along with theirs.  So they sought at every corner to trip him up and take him out and they succeeded (well maybe).

Jesus healed the sick, raised the dead, cast out demons and taught that if you just had the faith of a mustard seed (which is very, very small seed), you could tell a mountain to move, and it would.  So now he is nailed to a cross to die after being mocked and beaten.   A man who tamed the seas and walked on water, surely he could have called lightning bolts down from the sky and had all his enemies killed, but no.  He practiced just what he taught and said, “father forgive them for they know not what they do.”  If he would have done otherwise he would have been a hypocrite.  So what are you if you practice what you teach, you are a man of your word.  And if what you teach is the truth, then you are the truth you teach.   So if you believe in what Jesus taught then you shall be saved.  But how could you believe in what Jesus did if he did not practice what he taught and rather became a hypocrite.  So this is what Jesus meant that you can only be saved through him.  Through his teachings, as he was what he taught.  You must put away the old teachings of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth and be born again into a new teaching and he gives you example after example of this and his own death would be his last example of that.

You are not saved by just believing that he died for your sins.  You have to believe in what he taught, because that is what he did.  If you believe in what he taught then you will try to follow it and if you fail he will forgive you, just as you forgive others, as he taught you to pray.

He said to them, “When you pray, say:
” ‘Father,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.”

So that is how Enoch was saved.  Enoch must have learned the higher law and followed it.  Just as anyone who learns of this higher law, believes in it and tries to follow it, they too will be saved.

And if anyone teaches anything other than what Jesus taught and says rather, do this or do that, believe this or believe that, confess this or confess that and you will be saved, I would suggest you question it.  By trying to follow the teachings of Jesus you are not going to go to hell, THINK ABOUT IT.

Genesis 1:27 – And God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God’s image he created him; male and female he created them. (The New World Translation- a Jehovah Witness Bible)

The Jehovah Witnesses gave me this bible and I gave them a donation for it, but they said it was free and I said I’ll pay for it anyways.  So far in comparing it to old faithful KJV I’ve not found any errors, and it is very easy to understand.  I’ve been told that the Catholic bible was the most accurate version, but I don’t think the Bible Church who told me that heard of this one.

I was listening to a clip of Coast to Coast and they had some historian expert on (didn’t catch his name) who claimed that Genesis was the oldest religious transcript in the world.  And that the new world order people were working hard to discredit it but were not able to.  I wished I could have heard the whole show so I knew what he was talking about, but I just got into the middle of it. You know how (me) and a few people like me believe that when the bible was talking about the sons of God finding the daughters of men desirable, we think the bible is talking about Alains.  Well this guy claims that there were two races of mankind on the earth at that time.  One followed God and this is why they are called sons and daughters of God and the other fell away and are called son’s and daughters of man.  Now that opens up a whole new train of thought.

Not a subject discussed on coast to coast, but I’m thinking now maybe this might shed some light onto why both Satan and Jesus are called the morning star and Jesus keeps being referred to as the son of man while he is also acknowledged as the son of God, so you know, I got to look into this.

So far I got as far as Genesis 1:27 and I remembered, now that I am a minister, that this is something I need to share whether I’m listened to or not.  Because there is a lot of confusion about this.

I have been told that the bible is sexist and thus the Jewish, Christian and Muslim religions are sexist.  I will not deny that there are religious leaders in all three religions who are sexist and thus lead people to be sexist, but this is a mistake and Genesis 1:27 explains it.  If you come across a Jew, Christian or Muslim who believes that it is taught that man is superior to woman, you can explain to them that man is men and women and here is your little verse that they subscribe to as the ultimate authority, to show them and prove to them that they are wrong.

If further proof is needed, tell them to google, “deborah the prophetess.”  There is no greater person on this earth in any of these three religions than a prophet and if a woman can be a prophet, then how can she be less than a man.  And if that don’t work, explain how Jesus was born of a woman without the help of a man, now that should stop them dead in their tracks right there. They might argue that there are more men prophets than women prophets, and right there, I’d just give up with the realization that some people just aren’t capable of learning.  But it is true that most of the prophets, government leaders and corporate leaders are men, this is by design of woman, not men.  If women wanted it to be different, it would be, it is enough that they be mothers of prophets, government and corporate leaders, this does not make them less but only because they are equal that this is so.  I’m going to try to explain this the way  I understand it and you can disagree and teach me something new, because one thing I am certain of, I can learn, I can be taught.

The spiritual explanation of men and women is:  Woman is the inspiration and man is the creator.  In other words, women inspire men to create.  Men and women are different.  I’m not going to create a list of this is men and this is women because we will argue over it for days, weeks, months, years, forever possibly.  Lets be honest, we kinda lost site of what a woman and a man is.  If you have lived on this earth awhile, you will have seen some men who act more like what you think is a woman than most woman you have known and you will see some woman who act more like a man than most men you have seen.  I think this is partially natural and unnatural.  I think in nature you will find this naturally occurring but our domesticated life style we have created for ourselves and a state of confusion that we seem to be in today is a contributer.

What has caused the confusion we seem to be in today is equality.  This is something that some people just won’t get.  It is believed by some that to be equal to me, you must be just like me, if you are different you are less than me.  This to me is a sign of maturity and some people just won’t grow up.  They will believe, that to be as good as me, you must be just like me.  They will never understand that someone who is different than they can be equal to them, they just can’t get it.  Part of this is the fault of our society where we send our kids to school to learn math, science and proper word structure but fail to teach wisdom and understanding.  Some say that this is by design and I have to agree.  Why would you want someone to question things, wouldn’t it be better if we all just went along.

So, men and women are different, but are both equal having been created in the image of God as it is written in Genesis 1:27, according to an historian, the oldest document in existence. Whether you believe that this writing is a scientific document written in reality or a Parable written in dream language, meant to portray a truth, either way, it means the same thing.  It is possible for two people to be different and yet still be equal and we need to learn this and began treating each other as such, then, there will be peace in the whole world, and it begins with me.

PEACE.

First of all I want to say that the TV is  saying that going around the Internet is a suggestion to nuke the oil spill.  I haven’t come across anywhere on the Internet about a suggestion to nuke the oil spill.  Did the TV lie?  What do you think?

Ok – what I have heard out there on the Internet is that this is a lot worse than the TV is saying it is.  BP drilled down four miles into the earths crust and they might have drilled just a little too far and opened up a can of worms.  Even if they hadn’t ignored all the safety precautions, there still may have been an explosion.  There could be sometime soon an explosion of nuclear proportions that will send large clouds of toxic gases into the atmosphere.  I always thought Oklahoma was a safe place to live, but we may not even be safe here.

So when the TV says that some say we should nuke this thing, when it happens, is it going to be blamed on someone else??  And when BP says they will put up 20 billion without even an argument?   What they are really saying is:  “oops.”  A really big “OOPS!”

If you have friends or relatives that you have not spoken to in a long time, you might want to give them a call, send them a note or email.  Just saying it might be a good idea.

I think we error when we believe the bible is it and there aint no more. There are some strange scriptures that mention creating us in our image, not my image and a few other strange scriptures here and there that make it sound like God is more than one person. But the Gnostic scriptures which were purposely not included in the bible speak of a false god who created us. I hear rumor of a Samarian text that claims that we were created by the Nephilim that came from the planet Nibiru to be their slaves. The planet Nibiru was a part of our solar system and had crashed into another planet in our solar system, can’t remember which one. That is how we got our moon and the asteroid belt around Saturn. A part of Nibiru still exists, it is called planet X or the wormwood asteroid that is due to meet with us late in 2012 or early 2013.

We may have been able to put all the pieces together more quickly if a group of people long ago didn’t decide for us what was scripture and what was not.

I need to try to get to my email more often.  These were sent to me on the the 3rd in time for Mother’s Day and they are very good, so I have still have to post them the day after.   From Del “Abe” Jones. enjoy.

Military Moms

This year on Mother’s Day
We should think of offspring lost
And Mothers of all those Troops
Who paid the ultimate cost.

They’ve watched Sons and Daughters
Sent off to a foreign land
To fight wars and give their all
In some conflicts so ill planned.

But no matter what the reasons
They’ve always stepped up to the line
To give their lives for Freedoms
Enjoyed by all of yours and mine.

We must Honor all those Mothers
Of all those who have Served
And Sacrifices that they made
With our, “Thanks!”, so well deserved.

It takes a very Special Lady
To let Her Child go off to War
Or just to join the Military
With the pride and fear and more.

There’s too many Gold Star Mothers
And if you might know of one
Please send Her a special wish
To praise Her Daughter or Son.

Military Moms are the Greatest
With a strength beyond compare
Who hope and pray their loved one
Comes Home safe, from over there.

So, let’s keep them in our thoughts
And hope their prayers come true
All those Moms and all those Troops
Who stand Strong and Proud, and True.

Del “Abe” Jones

FOR MOMS

She was there at the beginning
When the world was new to you -
She was there to turn to happy times
Those when, you were hurt or blue.

She was there to listen to your thoughts
And when you asked, to give advice -
She was there to tell you, “Those don’t match!”
Or, “Hon, you sure look nice.”

She was there with you at nighttime
To help you say your prayers _
She was there to tell you, “It’s alright.”
When you had a dream that scares.

She was there at morning time
To get you up and out of bed -
She was there when you didn’t feel good (or did)
To say, “You’d best stay home, instead.”

She was there when you were hungry
And when you had those dirty clothes -
She was there when you needed her
(How she knew? Only heaven knows.)

She was there at the beginning
And she’ll be there your whole life through -
She’ll be there in your mind and heart
Just like a mother is supposed to do.

Del “Abe” Jones

Mother’s Day

There were some different beginnings
To what we know as, “Mother’s Day”
One woman, Anna Reeves Jarvis
“Mothers’ Work Day Clubs”, her way.

They focused on sanitary conditions
And provided medicines for the poor
They promised to care for all Soldiers
From both sides in the Civil War.

After that War that had divided
The new-found peace would take her
To healing families and friends
And she became a real peacemaker.

Then, in the Eighteen seventies
Something we could sure use now
“Mothers’ Peace Day” was started
By, Julia Ward Howe.

A famous woman of the time
Reformer, lecturer, and writer of note
“The Battle Hymn Of The Republic”
Is something that she wrote.

A woman’ suffrage association
Voted her their first President
And hers, the first suggestion
To have a Mother’s Day event.

Then there was Frank Hering
In the year Nineteen ought-four
Of the Fraternal Order Of Eagles
Who claimed to open the door.

In Nineteen fourteen Woodrow Wilson
Recommending a Federal Mother’s Day
Signed a joint resolution
That we now observe each year in May.

No matter who takes the credit
It was a long time overdue
To honor all those Ladies
Who gave life to me and you.

So, those who still have theirs
Should remember those times passed
And thank Her now for all those things
She’s done for you in the past.

For those whose Mom is gone
It’s a time to reflect and say,
“Mom, I love and miss you,
On this, and every other day.”

Our Mothers shape our being
And have an endless wealth to give
And She will be a part of us
For as long as we may live.

I am not a Jehovah Witness yet and don’t know if I will be one.  But they come by and visit me and teach me the bible and are welcome in my house.   Some have warned me that the jehovah witness’s believe that only 144 thousand will be saved, so I have asked them about this and they have explained to me that the 144 thousand spoke of in the bible are a specially chosen group of people who will govern over the great crowd that cannot be numbered of people who will be saved.  So the answer is No, they don’t believe that only 144 thousand will be saved.  The number of the people who will be saved is a great crowd that cannot be number and that is straight out of the bible and this is what the Jehovah Witness believe.

So far me and the Jehovah Witness are in agreement,  they do not believe in eternal hell fire or the trinity.

Yes they do believe that some people will not be saved, some people will be destroyed.  This is the same thing that all churches believe.  Lets face it, some people don’t deserve eternal paradise.   In this imperfect world full of  imperfect people we have cops, judges, jails, prison sentences and the death sentence and unfortunatly we even have war where we are allowed to legally kill others or be killed.  If everyone in this world deserved eternal paradise we would not have any of these things.  I was told in a dream that God takes us and makes us unto himself as if we were a ball of clay, but I don’t know if we all will let God do this, as the Mormons and I’m sure the Jehovah Witnesses will agree, we all have free will and some of us will not make the right decisions, this I know all other churches believe so it would be unfair to separate the Jehovah Witnesses out from the rest for this belief and call them falls for this.

What about the 144 thousand.  I don’t think the Jehovah Witnesses will agree with me on this, but this could be the answer.

It took me a long time to find this story I once posted years ago, so I figure I better repost it so that it doesn’t get lost.  Your memory gets worse as you get older, so you never want to loose important stories that may be important to others.  So here it is:

In the Navy I knew a man who claimed to be the son of Satan, he became a christian, I watched him change, it taught me a lot of things.

“A friend” : son o’ satan! LOL. If I was going to make an absurd claim I would claim to be the thing itself and not “his son.”

Okcitykid: This guy had like two personalities and rumor was that he and another sailor raped and murdered a prostitute and he laughed about it, but he never personally admitted it to me, just that, I did not want to know all the things he had done.

In the military you are forced to be close to people and you learn a lot and we used to always stand watch together.

He was scared to death of the dark. He would actually cry if he was left alone in the dark and he always manged to get out of after lookout at night. He would often ask me to pray for him while we stood forward lookout together in the dark. As I would stand into the wind, he would hide behind the wind brake and tell me I was brave. There were things I didn’t know he would say, things he could not explain to me or he would be punished he claimed. He put these strange symbols on the inside of his uniform to protect him and around the birthing compartment. My memory is not so good anymore, but I think it was a half moon and an arrow.

We had a journal on the bridge everyone would right stuff in and I would always quote sayings from Jesus and he would scribble over them with Jesus sucks dicks in hell or similar obscenities. When we stood together on forward lookout, he would ask me to forgive him and pray for him.

One night I refused, I said no, you want forgiveness, you have to ask for it yourself because I’m not going to pray for you.  You have to do that for yourself. He said he didn’t know how, he had never done that before, but I continued to refuse and told him he had to learn. For the rest of the watch he was silent as tears rolled down his face.

So the next day he visited the protestant lay leader who had given him a bible and he began to read it and for awhile it seemed like he changed. With excitement he would tell me what he read, but somehow it just didn’t seem real and when we got back to the states he returned back to his old way. He would have this evil laugh that would send chills down your spine.

Then he got the news that his mother had died. His mother was the last person alive in his immediate family and he was tore up by this so he visited the base Chaplin and that’s when he supposedly became a Christian.

About a month after that he smarted off to a commissioned officer and was court marshaled and sent off to the brig. I met him before he left to the brig and he had this big ole grin on his face so I asked him why he was so happy. I couldn’t understand it. He would get out of work details and watches and it seemed he could do whatever he wanted and never get in trouble, even get away with murder, and now that he has truly changed his life, he receives this big ole punishment for this small little thing and he’s happy about it?

He said he was happy to go to the brig because it meant that Satan had no power over him because he was being punished for doing something wrong.

He once again told me that there are many things he couldn’t tell me because he was afraid. As he was growing up his family was into Satan worship and everyone in his family died and his mother was the last to die and he said he would have been next if he had not visited the Chaplin.

He said that he used to have powers, he could just wish real hard and he could get out of work details or watches or getting in trouble. Or he could wish real hard for a coke or a cup of coffee and someone would bring him one. But there was a price, but he said not anymore, Satan had no control over him and he was just tickled pink to go to the brig.

Everything about him was different. He had a wicked smile that turned into a cute smile and a wicked laugh that turned into a giggle, his voice was softer and the expression on his face seemed almost caring as he warned me to be careful as he left to the brig explaining that there are things I don’t know.

My views about Christianity have changed a lot since then….

One could easily say that this man was simply mental and God had simply intervened with healing. But how do you explain him getting away with so many things and then being sent to the brig for something as small as disrespect? How can you explain everyone in his family dieing?

________________________________________________________________
I’ve since done a search for Satanic symbols to locate the one he had placed everywhere but haven’t found it.   From memory I’ve made a drawing, I’m not an artist and it has been about 30 years ago.  Here it is:
