Hey, Whammers. Interesting information. Question. Do you know where I can find more information about the following:

Egyptian histories recorded on temple walls from 1,800-1,400 BC show Semitic slaves making bricks just as described in Genesis. Egypt also produced the Merneptah Stele which is a monument erected in 1208 BC that clearly establishes the existence of Israel as a nation of people in Canaan by that date.

I would really like to learn more about it and to confirm from other sources. Never heard of this before but this is fascinating. Do you know of any other reliable sources that mention this? Or where the histories are found? I know Q&A articles can be pretty vague and answer questions quickly but I'd really like to know more when you get a chance.

"A spiritual awakening is when your core spirit aligns with Gods reality."

A spiritual alignment with God is the bases of revelation and truth, it is how the writers of scripture received Gods word, and is the same process which must be used for all interpretation of what is true, regardless of the source you use to seek truth.

The word truth should be defined to include revelation knowledge in my opinion.

Anything that leads a man in his heart to draw nearer to God should also be called truth, and be part of the definition of the word when we say truth.

We are a sense knowledge creature, that is to say we garner information via our five senses and view the knowledge we obtain outwardly as the fullness of what can be real and therefore true, but the spiritual is in fact the greatest portion of reality, and the senses based knowledge only our perceptions of reality.

All of the physical material universe is a manifestation of the spiritual even the substance of our form.

The apostles and prophets who wrote the bible understood this, even the man named Jesus of Nazareth in scripture would have viewed his life in context of the broader spiritual reality, that is he would have held a quantum view of gravity, seeing his life as only a lesser part of a greater reality.

The men and women that write, and have written down things for God, know and knew, that only those individuals who sought enlightenment as they themselves did, would find what they had written useful.

It is God who gives the interpretation, illuminated into the heart of only the individual seeking, in real time, uniquely tailored for that specific individual in a way that it will provide the profit of being doctrine, reproof, and correction, for that individual when applied to that individuals exact circumstances.

This is why only those who see themselves, in the happening of their lives, as God's will expressed and experienced, in and from the reality that they occupy, as the word made flesh, as one with God, or as the apostle Paul who describe all those in whom dwelled the sprit God, abiding in us as we abide in Him, living and real.

God not only exists in reality He constructs the greater reality in which our form resides.

Once again it comes down to the fact that if you claim to be with God then He must be with you, and if He is indeed there, then there should be definable measurable ways to validate His presence in your life.

If God exists in reality, we can't see all truth in any one thing but we can see some truth in everything, therefore everything real must contain within its construct a portion which we should be able to identify clearly as God, that component which God effects in real time.

How many people can point to the part of their life in real time, that is God?

People need desperately to manifest spiritual power, to experience the knowledge of the presence of God, to know and be physically reassured that God is with them and in them, and yet everyone seems so afraid?

This is the ultimate conspiracy. In the end, God will smile and say, "Devil.. come on out!" and this guy will come out, and laugh, and they will shake hands. It will be a lot like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

He was just "acting" like the bad guy to give you an "option". So do you return the "everlasting gobstopper"? or give it to Mr. Slugworth? (aka satan)


That is of course... if you believe in the bible. Which of course, I do not. But think on this:

Evil came from somewhere. I use to be an evangelist, and according to the bible, satan does NOT have the power to create. Which means he did NOT create his own evil. God did. So therefore, God created all wrong. All death. All evil.

Well, while I will say I like your scientific view, I do not completely agree.

True, men did disobey, but they had an evil accomplice to that fall. And Lucifer was the first to demonstrate evil, while in the midst of God's presence.

The problem lies in this: God did create freewill, but in order for that to be truth, He had to also create options in mentality for them to have a choice between right and wrong. So.. God had to place wrong thoughts, in order to demonstrate right thoughts.

So once again, you're back at square one. God was still the ultimate source of creation. And therefore, the ultimate creator of evil.

Regardless of if darkness is the absence of light... He created that darkness to contrast the light. Or else we would all be robots without sin. Because sin would not exist without His assistance in creating this option.

I think you are a very intelligent person, and I love this discussion. Your argument goes beyond what most Christians have even been able to comprehend. And while I use to be one who found myself arguing the points you're making now, I still do not agree.

If God is as He says He is. The Alpha and Omega. The Beginning and The End. Without Him, there is nothing, and through Him, all exists. Nothing was created, or in existence, without His breath of life therein. He was, is, and will always be. According to the bible.

This states, that ALL is created through Him. And that there are no such corners in the existence of life to which one could hide, or create a darkness of such depth that His holiness cannot penetrate.

He created life, and created science. He created hot, and therefore, created the absolute zero. He created an opposite to all things. Man- woman. Dark- light. Hot- Cold. Satan- God. He is all. That is, if you believe in what He has said.

And if you would like proof to such an agreement, just read the book of Job. Satan was already in heaven. He pays attention to the things that are discussed, however... the bible says, "No sin is allowed into heaven" So it is a vast contradiction to what is stated. So if Satan is already in heaven, we have one out of place. Then, to take it further, God allows him to attack his "man, Job, who is unlike any other man in his devotion to God". So Satan is allowed to take out Job's entire family, estate, and even attack his health.

Do those people not matter? Did the wife not have as much say so? The children? Or are there certain people who are truly chosen to do greatness, while others are actually destined for hell? Such as Judas.

God did create darkness. He did create satan.

I'll be eagerly awaiting your response to this. But please know I'm not insulting you, or attacking you. I would like for one person to finally be able to reason out the bible. However, you have a very daunting task before you. Men much older, and wiser than us have argued this out for ages and have went to their eternal rest with it still unanswered. I wish you well...
