One Cardinal Sin

-

 There is a parable no one understands.  It is the one about the old cloak and old wine skin found in Like 5:36-39.  You can’t put a patch on an old cloak and make it new just as you can’t put new wine in an old wine skin and make it new.  Scholars agree there is one sin, but there is disagreement about what that one sin is.  I can tell you.  It’s the intentional taking of Human Life.  Murder.  Or suicide.  But specifically murder.  

How do I know?  Same reason I claim to know most anything biblical.  Angels.  But who am I to know this when no one seemingly does?  I can’t explain this.  If I could I’d be an angel myself.  But it is the answer to this riddle as to what Jesus was talking about.  Some believe there is no sin unforgivable.  I say there is one and I know what Jesus is talking about here.

Can I prove it?  No.  So, why bring it up?  Because in this day and age it matters.  There is simply too much murdering in the world and people believe they can get away with it.  The fact is no one does.  But how can I be so sure?  Angels.  That is my answer for everything in my life.  Is it a good answer?  For me it is.  

I can explain sin all I want.  But all sin can lead to death.  So, am I sinless?  It all depends.  To God I am, but to people I could be judged as Satan himself.  Only Satan allows for sin; not God.  The result of sin is death.  If people were sinless they wouldn’t die.  But many live with this hope.  Where does my hope come from?  Myself?  As long as I am alive it’s Angels.  I am my only proof, but only if I live.  

So, if I am alive I do not lie.  That is my only proof.  I say there will be a New Beginning, but only if I am alive to see it happen.  As long as I am alive I speak the truth.  I am my only proof.  Death would be the only proof I have lied.  Is that foolishness?  No.  I say it is faith.  It is my belief.  Where does it come from? Did a person tell me this?  No.  Angels did.  I trust in God believing in what I say He told me via Angels.  What if I’ve lied?  If I lie, I shall die.  So, I relax as I smoke my pipe and trust in my Angels.  My pipe this morning is my “haunted” Gettysburg pipe and my tobacco is my favorite—Old Professor.  My coffee this morning is Mt. Comfort coffee from Guatemala.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.

It's About Balance

 I seem to struggle week after week as to how much football I am going to watch.  There for awhile I was watching all the analysis of the collegiate games and decided I was simply paying too much attention to football.  I cut way back last week and as the season begins to unfold I have to ask myself how much is too much?  I didn't watch one pro game last weekend and hadn't followed the analysis of collegiate games all week.   Then I found myself having a kind of withdrawal and decided I can watch whatever football I want to watch as long as it doesn't interfere with my Spirituality.  But at what point is too much too much?  My wife and I talked about this last week as I cut back on watching and we both decided that I like football and I shouldn't have to be thinking about how much or how little I watch.  I enjoy the games.  College more than the pro's.   I don't have to watch the analysis, but I like College Game Day and I like...

 I can never predict how any of my posts are going to be received but I do get a reaction from my wife quite often, but I'll post about my Spirituality thinking I've said enough and apart from a few other subjects my Spirituality posts do quite well.  I had yesterday's tobacco review done a few days ago and saved it for yesterday and again, it seems my tobacco reviews do quite well.  Then I wrote about my age and it seemed no one cared that much   My wife says that it's my titles for my subjects So, while I have so many subjects to choose from, today it is about how my tobacco choices influence my Spirituality or do they?  Not really.  It's just that I can't smoke my pipes without tobacco.  I could be smoking a lot of things.  Like the question asked when someone thinks you are crazy, " What have I been smoking?"  Well, at least you know.  It's never any "funny" stuff.  You could be asking what I've been drinking.  I have ...

Old Ads

-
 My wife liked my post about old things we remember.  And a lot of what I remembered was good.  But there was some bad things back then that are different today.  Back in the 50's and 60's and even into the 70's advertising in both magazines and TV were incredibly sexist.  I don't have the space in one post to list all the ads, but really they can be summed by saying that a lot of advertising was incredibly sexist. I 've mentioned my wife lit my pipe for me just a few times, but these days she can barely tolerate the aroma of my most flavorful Aromatic tobacco.  She liked everything I said in that post except my mentioning Old Professor pipe tobacco.  Ironically, I like Old Professor the most and she hates it the most.  So, when I mentioned it, she did too.  But back in the day a man smoking a pipe was his lifestyle.  Today, it's a hobby, and not just for men. But too back in the day, no woman could walk down the street without some perv...
