This weekend I am going to Gilroy, which I am way excited because I am going to get a new phone woot woot I am stoked! I've had my phone for three years and its old and outdated, not to mention I broke the charger so it has to be plugged in the wall to work, and I washed it last month, and some of the buttons don't work. But now I can afford to get a new one which is nice because I would like to utilize it more lol.
So Genesis 1-6. God is amazing. I love how this Torah portion talks about Monotheism vs. Polytheism. Not that its some new found knowledge that I couldn't live my life with out it, it is just a new way to look at things. It writes:
If Polytheism were try, it would imply several different gods all creating and manipulation the fabric of reality according to their personal preferences. It would not allow an orderly universe that follows a unified code of physical laws, Polytheism would result in a great deal of disconnected randomness in the universe as different creator-gods sought to impose their will on things. Monotheism, on the other hand results in in a seamless chain if cause and effect behind every single Creator. The modern world of scientific naturalism has proven the latter to be true. Scientifically speaking, polytheism is out of the running, and the smart money is on monotheism.
Ok lets see what has happened since I've been away. Well I've been to Spain and Germany this summer both were amazing. I moved to California. I got a job working for the Salvation Army. I am going to Urabana!!! I designed the Back drop for Youth Councils. I read a bunch of books Which I will list in a another post as an update. My Dad has swine flu so please pray for him. I am going to read all my friends journals. <Not just on live journal> I Started a YA bible study at my church. I am raising money for friends from Germany to come visit. I think that about covers it. Now for Pictures of this amazing LIFE!
( Step into my Summer )
Most Christians say that they have one Bible with two parts – an Old Testament and a New Testament. If you talk to a Christian, most of them will tell you that the Old Testament provides the history and background for the New Testament but the New Testament is what tells them how to behave as Christians. They feel that the Old Testament rules do not apply to people today. They have several reasons for believing this.
( Mosaic Law )
This picture I took in my backyard. The leaves are coming over our fence from the neighbors yard. Our neighbors don't like us, I don't know why. Maybe its because my brother fights with them all the time. He's actually quite rude to them so that is probably the reason. I wonder if they knew that my brother is rude to everyone they would be nicer to the rest of us? Anyways, When I look at this plant, it makes me wonder how something so dead can look so alive.
God does amazing things. He can take something so ordinary, plain, and lifeless, and make it look so extraordinary, abstract, and full of life. It kind of looks like its trying to escape lol. Not only is the plant dead but the wood fence its lying in is rotting. Two things have come together to make something beautiful.
I think God does that with people. He takes nothings and makes them somethings. Kind of like David. Before he was king he was a shepard, he didn't look the part at all. He was nothing in the sight of men. Yet God took David and made him into a great king. Anyways we are ugly before we have Christ. But when we come together with Him we are something beautiful.
