It is a divine Mystery - the body of Him Who fills all in all; Who draws all, In love and charis, to Him who is lifted up from the Earth .....

+

... lotta comments on this one .... ha ! .... by me .... 
you probably understand by now, I like Korios .... 
I'm not that interested in formal grouping .... 
especially not with my former group, or the subsequent sub-groups .... i like song and dance times with Korios .... sometimes i think, if i were a rock guitarist, it would be good just to put on spontaneous gatherings for song and dance, and in that joy, be blessed and blissed ..... but only for that .... anyway I'm gonna try to post differently this year .... and, yes, anyone should drop in and see us, I won't even talk about Theoites, unless you want to ! Cheers to you in 2014
+
.... streamlining into a new year;
fbk can be helpful sometimes;
gonna look for more of that ....
+
..... it's not an unfriend,
fbk

it's more.
we don't have much
in common to
communicate ....

ha .... mainly, it's no communication at all ....

.... rather than, 
it's not even empathetic communication ....
+

.. just cos ..
most people do it,
doesn't make it right,
or the truth .....

..... for freedom,
I am set free .....

Thank-you to whoever wrote this lovely review of my book Living in the Miraculous on Amazon. So encouraging:)
Transparent and Inspiring
By ronniepops - December 27, 2013
Katherine Ruonala has opened her heart wide giving the reader a front row seat into her life as she shares her journey of living in the miraculous! Katherine's book is a stand out- It is one of those you cannot put down. Tears poured from my eyes as I read, Chapter 8, Sowing Your Pain and the promise of 'double for your trouble!'
This is a hope filled book, it's not fairy floss and skittles, it's real life and you will not only fall in love with the writer but be catapulted into the supernatural. I am not surprised this book has sold out in Australia! Well done Katherine!

The whole point of what we're urging is simply love–

a life open to God.

I'm not so sure about the axiom: “A family that prays together stays together.” The divorce rate among Christians is higher than the national average. I think a better axiom might be: "A family that is earnest about doing their personal work in addressing their own pathologies and dysfunctional patterns, and who are together committed to learning, cultivating, and practicing healthy relationships with each other... have a real shot at staying together."

Jesus' commitment to non-violence is best illustrated in three of His acts during His life on earth.

His refusal to call down fire upon those who disagreed with Him, and the subsequent rebuking of His own followers telling them they didn't know what spirit they were of to make such a statement.

His telling Peter "put away your sword" in the face of personal danger (or in modern day speak "you have no right to bear arms Peter")

and His final act of non-violence, the refusal to call down an army of angels while dying on the cross.

There are others for certain, but these three instances illustrate the heart of the savior towards violent methods. This same person is the one who spoke "if you've seen me you've seen the Father" with all confidence.

We can then understand that if the Son was committed to non-violence in His delivery of mankind from the lie of separation, the Father would be the same. We can have full assurance that the Father was not "killing" the son in order to appease His own vampiric lusts, and in no way shape or form did He ever turn His back to His Son, whether in disgust or despair.

TAKE OFF YOUR WESTERN GLASSES ... Part 2

God as a consuming fire is good for saved n lost!

The saved and the lost will experience God as a "consuming fire". 

Western religion has brainwashed us into thinking that fire in the bible is a bad thing.

Think again ...

Fire in the bible describes the appearance of God!!

1. "Our God is a consuming fire". Hebrews 12

2. God appears to Moses in a burning bush

3. Daniel 7:9-10 says "his throne was fiery flames; its wheels were burning fire.
10 A stream of fire issued and came out from before him".

4. In the last post I shared how the lost all end up in Gods consuming fire and are restored as a result. Zephaniah 7:8-9

5. Isaiah 33:14-15 says that even the saved experience God as consuming fire.

"14Who among us can dwell with the consuming fire? Who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings?"
15 He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly"

So even the righteous end up meeting God as a consuming fire n live in it!

God is fire. God is love. God is good. Consuming fire is good.
+
TAKE OFF YOUR WESTERN LENSES ... Part 3

Jesus said hell is good!!

In the last two posts we saw that God is a consuming fire for both the saved n lost. The saved enjoy his fire presence and the lost are restored through it. 

This is why Jesus said that even hell is good.

Mark 9
47 And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell,
48 'where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.'
49 For everyone will be salted with fire.
50 Salt is good

Jesus explains hell in terms of fire worms n salt.

These three have one thing in common: they all cleanse.

Hell is salt n salt is good!
+
TAKE OFF YOUR Western lenses ... Part 4

Jesus said that the lost, the goats go off into "eternal punishment n fire"
Matthew 25

Yes western religion has twisted this one too

The Greek phrase is aionios kolasis poorly translated eternal punishment.

Kolasis only ever meant "pruning" to cut off dead wood to promote growth.
Nothing about punishment here!

So the lost after the final judgment go off into a cleansing experience with God!

"10 Myths of Pop Christianity:

1. Church is a place, a location, a building.
2. Christianity happens in services, classes, meetings, events, and programs.
3. What people need most is good information about God.
4. “God’s work” needs organizational or corporate infrastructure.
5. The more control the better; no telling what people will do if left to themselves.
6. It’s best you let us decide how to use and distribute your money.
7. Depend on us for the spiritual formation of your children; we are trained.
8. The bigger the church, the better.
9. People are more valuable and spiritual based on their involvement and giving level.
10. Relationships happen in group meetings."

in the ocean;
I paddled over to a shearwater,
to see if it was ok.
it was preening, it didn't notice me or a small breaking wave coming at it.
the shearwater duckdived beautifully at the last moment and emerged powerfully, close to me, shook water off its feathers, lifted off the chop , flew over me to disappear around the point.
This one's healthy.

God gets even with abusers by healing them - not punishing them

Isaiah 1:23-26
23 Your rulers are REBELS,
partners with THIEVES;
they all love bribes
and chase after gifts.
They do not defend the cause of the fatherless;
the widow’s case does not come before them.
24 Therefore the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
the Mighty One of Israel, declares:
“Ah! I WILL VENT MY WRATH on my foes
and avenge myself ON MY ENEMIES.
25 I will turn my hand against you;
I will thoroughly PURGE away your dross
and REMOVE ALL YOUR IMPURITIES.
26 I will RESTORE

Thats how God gets even with abusers! RESTORATION AND CLEANSING

Sodom the most depraved city that ever existed ...

1. Will fare better in the final judgment than religious people. Matthew 11:23-24

How much better will it fare? 

2. Sodom Will eventually be fully restored. Ezekiel 16:47-55

But hang on ...

Doesn't the bible say that Sodom experienced eternal fire? Yes it does!

But if it did how then can it be restored?

Maybe we misunderstand what the bible means by eternal fire?!

Maybe the results of the fire are eternal (as annihilationists say) and the fire itself is cleansing (as universalists say)

Now that's my God!

Religion says that hell is bad

Jesus said that hell acts like salt fire and worms to cleanse and as such is good. Mark 9:47-50

answer this question:
Does the God who lavishly provides you with his own presence,
His Holy Spirit, working things in your lives you could never do for yourselves,
does He do these things because of your strenuous moral striving
or because you trust Him to do them in you?

1 Thessalonians 1:4 Beloved Friends, you have come to understand that you are God’s idea to begin with! 
( The word ekloge has traditionally been translated and interpreted as election which led to the illusion 
that some are in and some are out, by God’s intent! 
However, the preposition ek, always denotes source or origin 
and lego points to the authentic thought, 
the logos that John refers to in John 1:1,14.)
