Hey, I love shellfish. I know it says back in Leviticus or something that eating that is a sin because it an unclean food. Then someone else said that
this was for the Jew an unclean food but not for the gentile. So I am wondering about it, because I really do love shrimp and crab. I think God made
these and if he made these, why are they not clean foods? I think back in the time of Leviticus then there was not modern refrigeration, so maybe God
was trying to protect his people when he said not to eat certain things. But today our foods can be flash frozen and cleaned and they don't make us
sick.
I would buy my shrimp and crab from a grocery store, but not if it was in a market stall in some third world country, just sitting there without being
refrigerated. The fishy smell alone would probably not be good to smell and I wouldn't want to eat it.
Do you believe there is really unclean food now?
Also, Sometimes I think really deep thoughts and I wonder about God. It isn't like I want to have doubt, but I am very curious about God. I know that
at most, we can only understand a little bit about him, and not everything.
Like the other day I was thinking God is the beginning and the end. Was there ever a time when God himself existed alone, and without any creation and
anything existing other than himself? What would this be like and what would God be thinking about while he is alone? How long was he alone before he
decided to make something? What was the first thing he ever made, an angel? I don't know if the Jewish people have anything in old hebrew that says
anything about what God was doing before he made the world. I wonder even if maybe he made other worlds too, because the universe is huge.
Then sometimes I wonder if there could be another me living in another place, doing something that I decided not to do, or making another decision
that I didn't make.
I am also very interested in the universe and physics and love to read about new discoveries in science. I don't think they disprove God at all, and
just make him more interesting to me.
I guess he knows that I am a curious person already and he must have made me this way. Sometimes I wonder if my curiousity can lead me astray.
I am starting to believe in energy chakras in the body and thinking that maybe people have some powers that maybe they can tap into under certain
circumstances. Maybe this is wrong thinking, but I don't think people today really use all their brain and maybe they could tap into a higher
conciousness through meditation.
I also love to have lucid dreams and I can relax and catch myself going into a dream. I don't know if this is wrong or not. I usually just fly around
in my dream.
Maybe I am getting led astray by my interests in these things.
But I think also that our English bible is a translation of Hebrew and sometimes certain words can be mistranslated and give a different meaning to
the text.
So maybe there are some things that we don't really understand in the traditional way that they were meant to be understood.
I believe that it says some place in Revelations that he who blesses Isreal God will bless, he who curses it will be cursed. When you see Isreal
surrounded and the abomination that causes desolation (sounds like a weapon of mass distruction) set up in a temple, then the time for Christ return
is coming soon.
I believe it says some place that Isreal will be destroyed, not a stone left on another. Then those who live will turn to Christ in the end.
It does seem that Revelations is coming true. Many of the things seem to be happening. The world seems so mad at Isreal now. There are wars and rumors
of wars. North Korea, China, Iran? There are plagues and pestulences and earthquakes in diverse places. It is all as it says in the bible.
