The life of a young man in middle america couldn't really be that interesting could it?..... well.... no, it really can't be..... but if you somewhat misrepresent and slightly skew it... just about anything is possible.

the reason I have these random posts

I know it seems that all my posts have been random weird out of no-where thoughts, but I am currently writing a redefinition of God, meaning God isn't changing, and I am not trying to change God, just better explain who has has always been.

I say "I" because I am physically writing the book/paper, and this is MY blog, but "I" is actually a representation of "Jimmy and Nathan AND God" because we are using inspiration from God and what we know about him and collaborating the thoughts I am using to write. In the book/paper there will be a lot of references to "I want", "I think", etc, but the book will have two author's on the cover, and, as far as I am concerned, Jimmy wrote AT LEAST 50% of the book, without ever touching the typewriter. In a bad comparison to a real world example, God literally wrote none of the bible, but wrote all of the bible at the same time. I am the literal writer and Jimmy... is basically God (See why it's a bad example)

Peace out.

Post Script : All the thoughts posted here about God are incomplete, and are me making notes in a permanent place so that I can remember points to hit on, everything written here is a form of what I am writing, but might not have the same meaning as what I will have written in the end.

God Bless

random notes

God wrote the entire history of the world (I don't mean wrote, i mean actually participated in) at a single moment.

God allows free will to a degree that we can do whatever we want, even in opposition to God (ie. Sin). However, when God wrote the world in the single moment, he already knew every choice being made (since God works outside of time technically the choices were made at the same "time" God made the world). Therefore, God wrote the world the way he wanted to AROUND the choices he ALLOWS us to freely make. Does this mean that we choose God? No, but it does mean that God did not predestine a person for salvation UNLESS he saw the choices that lead up to the person's salvation. God chooses a man who will be missioned to in Kenya because he knew the missionary would go to Kenya. It makes God WILLINGLY dependent on people to determine who he will predestine.... and he does all of this in a single moment that he made/participated in the entire history of the world.

God does not HAVE to be dependent on people, but since we know we have free will, it isn't coincidental that people who get preached to get saved, it's God working his plan tied into our free will.

i'm giving in... maybe... ok only in theory

OK... i'm going to say it...

We choose God because he chooses us...

i am also going to say that i do not believe three things -

NO = We choose God because he CHOSE us (predestination)

NO = God chooses us because we choose him (armineism (SP?))

God Defined... a precurser

God created and destroyed the world at the same moment.

God only exists in that moment (outside that moment)

God actively affects every moment in history as he exists in the moment

God created an eternal time that exists in the moment that is god

God both makes the decision of what has happened and changes his mind for prayer at the same time

God does NOT predestine people, people do NOT choose God... all this happens at the moment of God's existence. (This one needs better definition... as if the others don't lol)

Testing
