UnAmerican

UnAmerican

I’m jumping on the bandwagon here. I’ve been called un-American so many times it makes my head spin. Why? Not standing for the National Anthem? No. Not picking left OR right? No. I’ve been called un-American because I don’t like chocolate or fatty foods like bacon and enormous amounts of cheese. Well I’ll be!

I don’t think this post is really about being un-American as much as it is going to be about what riles the world, gets under their skin, irks people to no end. If the cause does not fit into the norm, meaning the [supposed] majority, then you are on the outside, the minority. If you’re black you’re in the minority, orange, minority, alien minority. What if you’re Irish or German does that count you as a minority too? Are the majority of Americans Irish and German? I don’t think this day and age they are. 

It makes you think. What does it mean when someone calls you un-American? I respect soldiers who were drafted at a young age and basically forced to fight for this country. I admire the men and women who choose to continue to fight for this country day in and day out. But does it make me un-American because I don’t and won’t conform to what YOU might want me to post on facebook, Instagram, or twitter?

I was and never will be someone who votes because you tell me I HAVE to vote or be called un-American. When the National Anthem is on, STAND, place your hand over your heart! Say the pledge of allegiance daily. Well, we want our kids to pledge allegiance to a flag for twelve years of their life and we get all riled up because some lying meme says it’s going to be taken out of schools? Americans want everything THEIR way and you’re UNAmerican if you disagree with one or two people who don't think like you think.

I think that our founding fathers when writing the Constitution knew back in the day that God (or mere mention of Him), our rights or our liberties would continue to be an issue in the distant future. I don’t think they thought that allowing people from other countries here was going to be such a big issue but here we are being our American selves and not wanting immigrants to share in our wealth and prosperous land. (I say that loosely as I look around at other countries, impoverished nations and their debts.)

You know, I find it quite amazing that individuals are not allowed to think for themselves, speak out about something they don’t believe in or are shamed because the small brained feel it necessary to be louder than the minority of people who just want to be heard. I thought we had rights to protect us but year after year, political figure after political figure wants to change the way things are run.

I blog today because it is my right as an American to say what I want to say but to lump me together with the other billions of Americans is offensive to me because I am not like them or you for that matter. I don’t read the ‘what people are talking about today’news. To be honest, I go to facebook and see what people are griping about, reeling about, who is offending whom on this or any given day. Then as the writer in me takes over, I research and see if it is worth blogging about. More times than not, the answer is no because I won’t conform to what the masses expect from me. I won’t be a part of the hate brigade and if that makes me un-American, then so be it, off with my head!

Yup, I’m all about God and I’m sure that offends the majority of people but I don’t care. I don’t live to serve man and debate about who’s right and who’s wrong; I live to serve God. Not a country, not a flag, not a battalion, not a president, not anything but God, so yes, if serving ONE God makes me un-American, then Hail to the King of Kings! 

God you reign, God you reign!

Forever and ever… God you REIGN!

The Great Debate

Job 20: 3 I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.

Science vs. Faith

I had to find it funny, yes ha ha funny not ironic funny, that this day and age the force of wanting/needing to debate faith and science still holds a strong-arm in society. I know people who state, “I believe in God, I read the bible, I have faith, but I also need ‘PROOF’!”

Isn’t that funny? They have faith but need proof? Faith is believing in things unseen not things that are a proven fact, a proven fact by who, scientist? No wonder it’s a great debate. I bet scientists win hands down!

I’ve had this debate with myself ever since seeing my first shooting star, and that was many, many moons ago. But you know what? As you can tell in my posts, God always won, not some scientist. Why? Because God proves Himself to those who have faith and they don’t need some human defining scientific theory to them to make their belief stick.

You know what, I believe in the Big Bang theory! I believe God was the force behind the push that propelled the universe to take shape and form. When I was about seventeen years old I was really digging into Quantum Physics, reading about science, astrology, astronomy; I was always questioning God, and wouldn’t you know it, in God fashion, He was always answering me, amazing, huh?

I delve into the spiritual world, clashed with the forces, and not one time was I seeking proof, I was acknowledging that it existed. That is what science does for faith to ME, in all their studies trying to PROVE God’s existence, they are solidifying my faith and all that I believe and am shown.

The scientist can define a string theory, they can feed us lies that say there are nine planets, then change that theory through further study and make us tell our kids that Pluto is NOT really a planet. As much as scientist want us to believe that God’s message is confusing, they PROVE His existence daily though all their studies and confusion.

One minute there are nine planets, the next there are eight. One minute a black hole then the next thing you know, scientists claim they don’t exist. Scientist are the ones confused, God has been the same since the beginning of time, yes millions and millions of years ago, God was the same exact SPIRITUAL FORCE that he is today.

Has science proved that energy exists? Yes! Have they proved that atoms, protons, photons and electrons exist? Yes! Do they realize they proved God exists in these findings? No! They need to dig and dig and dig further. To me, the more they dig into the physics of the compilation of the universe, the deeper they are proving God exists.

Ok now lets talk spirit. Define spirit:

: the force within a person that is believed to give the body life, energy, and power
: the inner quality or nature of a person

: a person

:  an animating or vital principle held to give life to physical organisms

Actually I’d like YOU to go to the dictionary, search spirit. That’s all, just spirit.

THIS is what the scientists are looking for! They are not looking to prove the bible, they are not looking to psychology of the mind to define God, they obviously are looking in  all the wrong places for God, OUT THERE! They are in actuality searching for SPIRIT!!!

Here’s a concept: The bible WAS NOT written FOR scientist! It was not written so thousands of years down the line a scientist could dissect it and find dissension. People, humans, told the stories in the bible. Humans err, scientist err, it’s a part of life. I can dissect science and prove where they erred too. Guess what, scientist are humans too!

What a concept!

Another concept: The bible was written BY man FOR man. The driving force behind the writing was the same spiritual force that created the universe. When a scientist defines that spiritual force maybe I’d give them more credit, but as it is, they can’t dissect spirit, they can’t prove the non-existence of spirit, so therefore all their studies and theories hold no weight.

I can prove spirit exists. I know there is a spiritual force inside me causing me to think, to eat, to drink, to love, to hate (wait that’s a different spiritual force) to feel, to BE, to thrive in a natural world, and see beauty in every living organism. THAT my friends is a spiritual force that not even YOU can deny.

So in all this effort in trying to prove in this physical world, through physical human beings that God doesn’t exist, why not try and prove spirit doesn’t exist? It will never happen because WE are a tiny molecule of the whole of God. WE are a part of the same spiritual force that created the world. If you have faith in God, you are believing in yourself. Let me make one thing clear – GOD IS NOT A RELIGION!

Faith is believing without (seeing) proof needed!

Put that in your beaker and burn it!

1 John 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

1 John 4:13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
