A request for each of you

To my fellow "Usenet group"ies:

I come before you today with a request for each of you. I ask you to give it an ear and ponder it in your heart. Consider it for a time each day and think about what it means to the baseline fundamental views we hold in our lives.

----- My request is that you consider what this means to your self- image: You were created. You do have a purpose. You were not an accident of random chance in this universe. You were, instead, specifically and purposefully hand-crafted by God, hand-placed into this world where you are, with a purpose to have a real im- pact upon this world. To further realize that within the creation of your existence, the one creating you had a real purpose in do doing. God created you with a goal of certain things He wants you to do in this world, for example.

Think about this idea: That you were created, that you do have a real purpose, and that you will go on after you leave this world, and that you do have a choice today regarding how you will live your life, and that the warning given you by your very creator is that there is a real enemy here in this world, responsible for all that we see wrong here, who seeks to mislead you, trick you, trap you, and ultimately destroy your soul by leading you away from God, but if you will give God an ear, and stop hardening your heart toward Him, that He will guide you not only to safety in this world, but to the fullest, richest prosperity in Him.

Think about this. Read it a few times. Make sure you get a clear understanding: You were created specifically by God. You have a real purpose, and there are two paths before you: one leading to forgiveness for the wrong you've done, to be a part of God's plan for your life, one that keeps you unforgiven in the wrong you've done and is leading away from God and God's plan for your life.

----- God created you for greatness. He loves you. He will lead and guide and protect and save you from all evil. But He also honors you too much to violate His greatest gift to you: your volition. He will not violate your free will to choose. But look into Him and see how He's revealed Himself through His Son. The Bible gives us a view of God that explains things in a way which really resonates on the inside if you're willing to receive it. But if you harden your heart, it will always only be a book of laughable tales and fantasies.

The choice is yours, but the truth speaks to you. You were God's creation. You were made special. You do have a purpose. And you will go on after you leave this world. God has a plan for you and will save you from everything bad, and give you a real and secure future that dwells in fullest, richest prosperity for you, His beloved and held dear, most special creation.

Thank you, Rick C. Hodgin

Additional information. Here you are taught about the two natures, and what is happening to you (to your flesh) in this world.

Last night, I was listening to a sermon from a church in Hawaii, and I heard the most amazing thing I've ever heard regarding Jesus dying on the cross.

It was from the communion part of their service published on YouTube (beginning at 1hr 19m 0s):

The pastor's talking about the bread and the wine, and how Jesus said as often as you eat this bread, or drink this wine, do this in remembrance of me.

He teaches of the two elements which came out of Jesus when he was pierced by a spear at the cross. They were blood and water, which are also the two elements which come forth when a woman gives birth.

He teaches that it was the birth of the bride of Christ, which is the church (believers in Jesus Christ), taken from the side of Christ in His death, just as Adam's bride had been taken from his side when God put Adam into a deep sleep and made Eve from his rib. God made Eve for Adam, just as He made His own bride for Himself.

Jesus literally created His own bride by His death on the cross, birthed at the time of His death, with the seventh wound He received (two in His feet, two in His hands, one on His back from the scourging, one on the head from the crown of thorns, and then one more, the seventh, was the piercing of His side by the Roman soldiers -- seven is the number of Biblical completion. It comes up time and time and time again in Bible scripture, and is significant to God's design).

----- It's the most amazing thing I've ever heard about the full circle from man's original creation to Christ's redemption of man, in the same pattern from pre-fall form, to salvation-from- the-fall form.

I've never heard his piercing explained in that way in my entire life, and even with a tremendous amount of active study of the Bible since 2004, in listening to sermons, thinking about these things, searching the matter out, etc.

God is so beautiful in what He conveys. You just have to be looking for it. You just have to be willing to receive it.

Thank you, Rick C. Hodgin
