I have to believe every word that comes from the mouth of God. I have to make the right choices. Although my body is deteriorating my soul is still free to follow the way, the truth and the life and can do so with hope in my heart.

I am still picking up the details of the Good News but do not have a completely systemized version in my head. There has to be a "my" version  of the Truth for each of us for we are all individual consciousnesses informed by our own experiences and known as such by IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT who is always one but has never been seen as such by any of us.

We all have to use the Scriptures to form "my" version for they are the record of what has been achieved in human time by the those who have followed the "Law", "the way the truth and the light". This also is true for the Apostles for whom not everything that their Rabbi had said or done was easy to contain in their consciousnesses but inspired them when they took on their missions and spoke from their hearts the "Word of God".

St Paul's version of the truth often seems to include the concept that is  "Predestination". It is a very important part of his teaching that he is following a path that has been preordained for him. 

He was blinded into Resurrection Faith by Jesus on the Road to Damascus. There was not much evidence of his free will in that historical event. 

Today in the Acts there is a qualification, to the success of his preaching, "and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed". I have always to ask why it was not all of them "who chose eternal life, believed".

I believe that part of the "image and likeness" of my created being is freedom. 

I am not compelled to commit any sin. The evil Popes of much of European History knew that the persecutions they initiated, the wars that they prolonged and wealth that they acquired were not fulfilling the will of God. There has never been a moment in time that has had an evil outcome that could not have been avoided if the ones perpetrating it had made choices according to the will of God.

We have never lived true to the final revelation. The life, death and resurrection of Jesus has destroyed the power of Satan but we constantly seek him out and thus turn our backs on our crucified Lord.

Please Lord help us to end present Evil in the only way that we can. Let us all believe "That whatever you ask in my name, this I will do. If you ask me for anything in my name  I will do it" and let our world change or come to the end. Maranatha Lord, Jesus come. Amen.
