God first Like it has not been taught since *.* wrote 03-12-2007 Hi Beloved friends of the world wide wep. God loves us my dear friends. When I was in the Way Ministry Victor Paul Wierwille said God would teach him the word of God like it has not been taught since the first century and that would of been 1942 when the Way Ministry was founded.Then there the Jehovah’s Witnesses who changed their name from Millenarian Movement founded by Charles Taze Russell in 1884 then name Jehovah’s Witnesses by Joseph Franklin Rutherford in 1931 also called the International Bible Students. Now what I am getting at that Charles Taze Russell would of taught that the word of God was lost until his group was founded in 1884 as Victor Paul Wierwille of the Way Ministry claim the word of God was lost until 1942. Then there is the Mormon’s all so called The Latter Day Saints re-founded by Joseph Smith Jr in 1830 and the word of God was lost for some 1400 years after the death of the original Mormons of the fourth century founded by Moroni explain to me by active Mormons in person. (see the Mormon bible) Some its easy to see these three cults got puff up thinking God’s word which is God’s Love for us got lost and only they could bring it back. While the list of man that got puff up is longer than I care to think about. It makes me sad to think that I once believe a man name Victor Paul Wierwille could teach like it has not been taught for years, what a fool I was. The Word of God was never lost God has not changed the way he teaches his people from the beginning nor have the lies changed. Look at the old lie “has God really said anything until me” and me being the founder of each cult listed above. God has all ways spoke to those willing to listen with love. We look for others to show us what God is saying when all we need to do is open up our hearts asking to hear with love. I just wanted to point out how these men were wrong and see what others can add so we never get fooled again. While I believe the words I write are the words of God I believe I receive them as they all ways have been received out of love and trust as you can receive words from God yourself. Thank you, with love and a holy kiss blowing your way Roy

God first What is Preaching? Wrote 03-11-2007 Here I Roy William Perry III known as year2027 liked by many and hated by some reach out to you the world wide web to understand what preaching is with the help of Christ within my heart. While I love to say God loves you and some say God bless you that could be called preaching from the understanding I feel deep down in my heart to be so now. When I was in the Way Ministry I believed preaching was proving what the Way taught was right to others but I no longer believe the lies of the Way Ministry. I have come to see that all the Way Ministry and others cults like the Jehovah's Witnesses cult and the Mormon cult were doing is pushing their cult for worldly power and worldly riches. Then their the so call TV Preacher’s I watch on TV were I witness more begging for money than anything other but who am I to judge. I believe if there be a God and I believe there is we should be reaching to receive heavenly power and heavenly riches. Now with today’s internet it does not cost to share God’s word a lot of money there are many free boards and free spaces to use for sharing the word of God or anything you want to share with others. But if you want worldly glory that cost money but that not for me because I no longer worried about whether what I write is read or not I just share because it blesses me to share. So what is preaching to me today its just about sharing my heart my any given subject but with me because my life is focus on God’s love then God will be in my words because he is in my heart. But what about these people who say I must give a reason for my faith? Yes I give a reason for my faith but that does not mean I have to prove anything to anyone. The reason for me loving God is all ways the same I feel God loving me so I love him back in the best way I can. Now when some asked were I got a ideal I will try to show them if they really want to know but if they just want to play games I have no time for that. So back to preaching its sharing a person heart about a subject without having to prove anything but willing to give a reason to why the subject is dear to their heart. Thank you, with love and a holy kiss blowing your way Roy.

God first wrote 03-05-2007 Here I sat talking to Christ about the three parts of man and what the meaning of three parts are and the understanding of each part in part but first God loves us all my friends. In the beginning God form, made, and created man so he could be born into a man of that could one day grow into God’s children. The part that was form was the body which was formed of three kinds of dust. Dust that was and is dry like sand, dust that was and is hard like a rock, and dust that was and is wet like water. The part that was made was the soul which was and is breath life which was first created in animal life then re-made for mankind this kind is in the blood. This soul life or breath life is of three parts the air that comes in to renew itself, the air the flows through the body to give life to all its many parts, and the air that leaves the body as waste. The part that was created was the image which is known as the spirit the part that was created in the image of God-kind the part that looked like God himself. The spirit was created of three kinds the spirit that is visible to God only the part that words can not picture the spiritual body the part that grows, the part that shines truth like a great light the part that gives spiritual life to the spiritual body the spiritual soul or breath life, and there is the kind that one day knows as he is known that will be only known when Christ comes back for to help us see our new image at his return. But there is more to this great three part of the body, soul, and spirit. The are the three ways each part grows. The body life grows in three ways like a plant as it take in dust in many forms it grows in size, it grows in age, and it grows in decay. The soul life or breath life grows in three ways like a animal its grows in strength, its grows in fleshly wisdom, and it grows closer to its death. The spirit life grows in three ways in three ways like God himself in true awareness, in true wisdom, and to without a end. Now because I can only receive in part of these truths I share with you what I hear and see but I look for what Christ will tell you so we can get a bigger picture of the truth about the many three parts. Thank you, with love and a holy kiss blowing your way Roy.

Decision-making and the will of God
year2027 replied to T-Bone's topic in Doctrinal: Exploring the Bible
God first Beloved T-Bone God loves you my dear friend After reading your first post to begin this great tread I got thinking and here were I went 1 Cor 12:14 For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? 18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now are they many members, yet but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. 24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: 25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. I love this part of the bible because it lets me be me even if I am just the knee were others are the mouth I hope you like this part too thank you with love and a holy kiss blowing your way Roy -
God first Beloved CMan God loves you my dear friend I too having thinking about John 10:10 the Way Cult main bible verse John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. The thief of what? Which kind of life? More than abundantly which kinds of things? The Way taught the thief was Jesus Christ but never taught what will be took the curse of death is what Jesus Christ came to take away as for as I see the Way taught that this life was spiritual and this life more than abundantly would be confort here on earth in the fleshly way - nice home and lots money to live in comfort While I agree the life that we receive is spiritual life but to have spiritual life more than abundantly is to receive comforts in the spiritual form and not the fleshly form like the Way wanted us to think just think rewards in heaven but not just rewards spiritual rewards just been thinking thank you with love and a holy kiss blowing your way Roy

Have you read about the prophet Merlin?

God first Beloved all God loves you all Have you read about the prophet Merlin? there are many sites on Merlin --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Merlin Story http://home.att.net/~thehessians/Merlin.html Merlin was the greatest of the Druid seers. He was born about 415 A.D. He was a magician, a wizard and a prophet. His prophecies range over almost as many centuries as Nostradamus. Merlin prophesied great political struggles leading to an apocalyptic decline in England and throughout the world: "In the twinkling of an eye the seas shall rise up and the arena of the winds shall be opened once again. The winds shall do battle together with a blast of ill-omen, making their din reverberate from one constellation to another." "In these days the oaks shall burn in the forest glades and acorns shall burgeon on the lime trees' boughs." "Roots and branches shall change their places and the oddness of this will pass for a miracle." Both Wales and Scotland figure prominently in English prophecies. Many verses are not considered true prophecies as they do not so much predict future events as expose existing conditions - "the old virtues have passed away, vices are now triumphant, what used to be prized highly is nowadays scorned, and the like." Implications for us: Merlin's predictions are basically only concerned with Great Britain and her history. He predicted the illustrious reign of Queen Victoria by name and he predicted Britian's involvement in the two World Wars. Most of Merlin's prophesies have already been fulfilled. In the coming years he predicts the rule of an honorable king going by the legendary name of Arthur. " And of the Good Queen and the Blameless Prince One son shall be named Arthur. Like the King He shall be true, and brave, and generous In speech and act to all of all degrees, And win the unsought guerdon of men's love. In a far land beneath the setting sun, Now and long hence undreamed of (save by me Who, in my soul's eyes, see the great round world Whirled by the lightning touches of the sun Through time and space),--a land of stately woods, Of swift broad rivers, and of ocean lakes,– The name of Arthur,--him that is to be,– (Son of the Good Queen and the Blameless Prince), Shall shed new glories upon him we loved." The Prophecy of Merlin By John Reade http://www.lib.rochester.edu/camelot/readmerl.htm Sir Bedivere, in silence, watched the barge That bore away King Arthur to the vale Of Avalon, till it was seen no more. Then, on the beach, alone amid the dead, He lifted up his voice and sorely wept. "Alas!" he cried, "gone are the pleasant days At Camelot, and the sweet fellowship Of noble knights and true, and beauteous dames Who have no peers in all the living world, Is quite dissolved for ever, and the King Has gone and left none like him among men. O happy, thrice and fourfold, ye who rest, Both friends and foemen, in one peaceful bed, While I am sick at soul and cannot die! Oh! That the battle might be fought again! Then would I surely seek the way to death, And bleed and sleep like you, and be at peace. But now, ah! whither, whither can I go, Since he is gone who was my light of life, And whom to see was bliss? What can I do Without the voice that gave my arm its strength? Or wherefore bear a sword, since now no more Excalibur points forth to noble deeds?" And then he drew his blade, and threw it far Into the Lake, and as he saw it sink, "Would God," said he, "that so I followed him." But with the strain his wounds began to bleed, And he grew weak, and sank upon the ground, And swooned. And when he woke, he was aware Of Merlin, who stood watching by his side. Then cried Sir Bedivere: "O good and wise, I bid thee welcome, for, in all the world, There is none other I would fainer see. Yet am I sad to see thee, for the King Is gone, and none is left of all his Knights Save me, and I am weary of my life." But Merlin, ere he answered, staunched his wound, And gave him wine out of a golden flask, And, by the healing art which he possessed, Restored him sound and whole. And then he spake: "There is no need to tell me, for I know All thou would'st say, and knew ere thou wast born That all these things should be. But weep no more, Sir Bedivere. The past no man can change, Nor make what has been other than it is. As in the forest of Broceliande, The leaves fall year by year, and give the oaks All bare to wintry blasts, so, swept apace Before the breath of Time, the race of men Passes away, and may be seen no more. And yet the breeze of Spring is no less sweet, Which plays around the tender budding leaves, And calls to life their beauty, that it is As well a requiem as baby-song. So weep not for the days that are no more, But pray, as the King bade thee, for his soul, That to his far-off home no sigh may come From this, his orphan and unhappy realm, To mar the melody of Avalon." Then said Sir Bedivere: "O good and wise, Will he return again to Camelot, After his wound is healed, and Guinevere Has healed that other wound that vexed his soul, By purging her own soul of all offence? And will he not assemble round his board The best and bravest knights of Christendom, And all the fairest ladies of the land, And reign as erst he reigned in Camelot?" Then Merlin: "Hid from eyes of common men Is that which is to be in after days; And only those can see it in whose souls A heavenly brightness has dissolved the mist That darkens mortal sight. And even these Can see but dimly, as a far-off hill Appears at even when the stars surprise The lingering kisses of the parting sun. But I, thou knowest well, Sir Bedivere, Am not of mortal race, nor was I born Of human mother nor of human sire. Mine is the blazonry of prophet souls Whose lineage finds in God its kingly head. To me what was and that which is to come Are ever present, and I grow not old With time, but have the gift of endless youth. As one who stands beside a placid stream, Watching the white sails passing slowly down, And knows a fatal whirlpool waits them all, And yet, the while, is powerless to save,– So watch I all the ages passing by Adown the stream of time into the gulf From which is no return. Alas! Alas! How oft have I, who ever love the good, The pure, the brave and wise, wept bitter tears, As they have passed me, joyous in their course, And we have held sweet converse, as I thought How soon their faces would be seen no more! Sad, sad, Sir Bedivere, the prophet's gift, Who sees the evil which he cannot heal!" And then a gloom o'ershadowed Merlin's face, That caused Sir Bedivere to pity him; And they both wept, as one, amid the dead, Thinking of all the sorrows of the world. But Merlin, when his face grew calm again, Began: "Come, hearken now, Sir Bedivere, and I will give an answer to thy quest: King Arthur sleeps in Avalon, and many a change Must over-pass this land before he wake. The great White Dragon of the stormy North, Rearing his crest above the foaming waves, Shall shake the ground, and level all the hills,– And war shall follow war,--and blood shall flow In every vale,--and smoke of burning towns Shall reach the sky,--and men shall cry for aid Unto the sea, to hide them from the foe– And still shall Arthur sleep in Avalon. And when the Dragon, sated with the blood Of Christian men and women, yields at length To a mild victor, Tigers of the Sea Shall come, from cragy homes, to rend and tear, And brave men's hearts shall quail before their eyes– Yet still shall Arthur sleep in Avalon. The Tigers' wrath appeased, another foe Shall wave a foreign banner o'er the land, And trample down beneath his horses' hoofs Briton, and Dane, and Saxon, till the ground Is rank with blood, as when upon the slopes Of Badon Arthur charged the heathen host– Yet still the King shall sleep in Avalon. But as the ages pass, these foes shall join In friendship, and a nation shall arise, Like a strong oak amid the forest trees, Which, growing slowly, ceases not to grow, But fastens firmly, as it aims aloft, And spreads its branches far on every side, A shelter to the stranger of all lands– While Arthur still sleeps on in Avalon. And many Kings shall rule and win renown For this now saddened and distracted realm; And Britain shall be great by land and sea, And stretch her conquering arms around the world, And gather treasures from all climes, and teach Her tongues to distant nations, and her name Shall be a word of praise to all the earth– While Arthur still sleeps on in Avalon. But though he sleep, he still shall wear the crown As rightful lord of Britain, for on him,– The image of a noble Christian King, The image of a ruler sent of God,– The people still shall look in whoso reigns. And if there be a King of soul impure– Or if there be a King of hand unjust– Or if there be a King who weighs himself Against the nation's weal (such Kings there are And ever shall be until Arthur wake),– It is the real King the people serve, The Blameless Prince that never can do wrong, And not the false usurper of his name." Then, wondering much, broke in Sir Bedivere: "O Merlin, thou art far too wise for me, Though well I love thy speech. But, in good sooth, And plainly, as we speak of common things, Answer me: Will the King come back again In his own fleshly guise, the very same As when he feasted erst in Camelot With all the Table Round? And will he wear The crown, and gird him with Excalibur, And conquer heathen foes, and rid the land Of all that speaketh lies or doeth wrong?– Or, must he sleep for ever, and his face Be hid away from those that love him well? For, if I thought that it were so to be, I never could have comfort in my life." Then answered Merlin: "Let me tell my tale In my own way, and hearken till the close. All these things happen not as we desire, But as the ages need. Such men as he Come not without great travail and sore pain; They are the ripe fruit of the centuries, Who nourish noble thoughts and noble deeds, Give health and vigour to the sickly times, And stir the gross blood of the sleepy world; And when they pass away, their names, endued With life, still head the van of truth and right: So shall the name and spirit of the King, Who ruled in Camelot the Table Round, Guide Britain into ever-growing fame; And all her Kings that reign shall reign in him, The golden type of kingly chivalry. And those three Queens thou sawest, three fair Queens, So sweet and womanly, who, in the barge, Bore, tenderly, away the wounded King, Shall reign in Britain in the after-time,– As, in the old time, Carismandua And brave Bonduca whom the Romans feared Held a firm sceptre in a gentle hand. Of best and purest Queenhood, they, the type, As Arthur is the type of Blameless Kings. And as by three sweet names of holy kin They shall be known, so shall they also shew A triple sisterhood beneath one crown– Britain, and Albyn, and green Innisfail. Now, when the last of three Queens has slept For many years, there shall arise a Fourth– Fair, good and wise, and loved by all the land Of Britain, and by many lands on every sea. And in her days the world shall have much changed From that which now we live in. Mysteries, Save unto me in vision, now unknown, Shall then be clear as day. The earth and air Shall yield strange secrets for the use of men,– The planets, in their courses, shall draw near, And men shall see their marvels, as the flowers That grace the meads of Summer,--time and space Shall know new laws, and history shall walk Abreast with fact o'er all the peopled world:– For words shall flash like light from shore to shore, And light itself shall chronicle men's deeds. Great ships shall plough the ocean without sail, And steedless chariots shoot with arrowy speed O'er hill and dale and river, and beneath The solid floor we tread,--the silent rocks Shall tell the story of the infant world,– The falling leaf shall shew the cause of things Sages have sought in vain--and the whole vast Of sight and sound shall be to men a school Where they may learn strange lessons; and great truths That long have slept in the deep heart of God Shall waken and come forth and dwell with men, As in the elder days the tented lord Of countless herds was taught by angel-guests. And this fair land of Britain then shall be Engrailed with stately cities,--and by streams Where now the greedy wolf roams shall be heard The multitudinous voice of Industry,– And Labour, incense-crowned, shall hold her court Where now the sun scarce touches with his beams The scattered seeds of future argosies, That to the furthest limit of the world Shall bear the glory of the British name. And where a Grecian victor never trod, And where a Roman banner never waved, East, West, and North, and South, and to those Isles, Happy and rich, of which the poets dreamed But never saw, set far in Western seas, Beyond the pillars of the heathen god– Shall Arthur's realm extend, and dusky Kings Shall yield obeisance to his conquering fame. And she, the fourth fair tenant of the throne, Heir to the ripe fruit of long centuries, Shall reign o'er such an empire, and her name, Clasping the trophies of all ages, won By knightly deeds in every land and sea, Shall be VICTORIA. Then shall come a Prince From o'er the sea, of goodly mien and fair, And, winning her, win all that she has won– Wedded to her, be good as she is pure– Reigning with her, be wise as she is great– And, loving her, be loved by all the world." Then spake Sir Bedivere, all eagerly: "He, Merlin, is he not our Blameless King, Returned from his long sleep in Avalon, To crown the glories of the later world?" Then Merlin: "Wait a while, Sir Bedivere, And I will tell thee all. In deeds of war,– The rage of battle, and the clangorous charge Of mailéd knights, and flash of hostile swords, And flying spears, and din of meeting shields, And all the use of man-ennobling might For Christ and for his Cross, to wrest the land From heathen foes--did Arthur win his fame. For this, by marvels, was he born and bred; For this, by marvels, was he chosen King; For this he sent his heralds to all parts Of the divided realm, to summon forth All bravest, truest knights of Christendom From rude and selfish war to Camelot, That they might be one heart around himself To send new life-blood through the sickly land, And purge it of the plague of heathennesse. And had not the foul falsehood of his house Broken athwart the true aim of his life, And set the Table Round against itself, Ere now the heathen Dragon had been crushed, Never again to raise its hideous head O'er the fair land that Christ's apostle blessed. This was the purpose that his soul had formed– Alas! How unaccomplished!--and he hoped That gentle peace would be the meed of war,– That 'neath the laurel fair and wide would bloom The flowers of wisdom, charity and truth,– That holy men and sages, ladies fair And famous knights, and those that from earth's lap Gather God's bounties, and the men whose hands Have skilful touch, and those who tell or sing Of Nature and her marvels, or who fill The scroll with records of the misty past, And others of all arts and all degrees, Should work, each in the place that he had found, With one pure impulse in the heart of all,– That Britain should be called of all the world A blameless people round a Blameless King. This purpose Albert, in the after-time, (So shall the Prince be named of whom I spake,) Shall take from the dim shrine where it has lain, Scarce touched by dreamy reverence, many an age, And hold it in the daylight of his life. But not alone. She whom his heart has won, With loving aid, shall ever at his side (Till death them part) sustain him in his thought. And these two, nobly mated, each to each The sweet and ripe completion, shall be named With loyal love and tenderest respect By knight and lady, poet, sage and priest, In mart and camp, in palace and in cot, By babbling gray-beard and by lisping child, Wherever Britain's banner is unfurled. So shall the land grow strong with bonds of peace, Till men believe that wars have ceased to drench The earth with bloody rain;--and Art shall smile On myriad shapes of beauty and of use,– And Wisdom shall have freer scope, and push The boulders of old folly from her field,– And men shall walk with larger minds across The limits of the superstitious past, And cull the gold out of the dross of things, Flinging the dross aside,--and then shall be New hopes of better changes yet to be, When harmony shall reign through all the world, And interchange of good for common weal Be only law. A palace shall arise Beneath the guidance of the Blameless Prince, The crystal image of his ample mind, The home of what is best in every clime; And thither, from all lands beneath the sun,Shall crowd the patient workers in all arts, Bringing the treasures of their skill. The hands Of many nations with a brother's clasp Shall join together; and the Babel tongues Of Eastern, Western, Northern, Southern lands Shall strive no more in discord, but, as one, Shall make harmonious music, as of yore The sound of four great rivers rose and fell Through fragrant splendours in the Eden-world. And men shall say: 'Now is the reign of peace, Foretold by sacred sages, come at last. And cries of war shall never more be heard Through the fair world, but men shall take their swords And beat them into ploughshares, and their spears And lances they shall turn to pruning-hooks,– Nation with nation shall contend no more, Save as to who may reach the goal of best Before the other, for the common good,– And men shall only vie in virtue, skill And beauty, fruits of hand and head and heart,– And strength shall be in knowledge and its use,-- And right, not might, shall guide men in their acts,– And small and great shall have one common law,– And he, alone, shall be considered just Who, in a doubtful matter, puts himself In his friend's place. So all men shall be friends: For each shall see in other but himself, And love him as himself. This is Christ's rule, Which the base world so long has set at nought, But now restored by our All-blameless Prince, And preached by gentle act to all the world.' So shall men say, rejoicing; but, alas! While yet the words rise from their gladdened hearts, The olive garland shall begin to fade On the sweet brows of peace; and Avarice, Like a gaunt wolf, ever unsatisfied As long as one lamb bleats within the fold, Shall raise the harsh cry that awakens war. In those far lands beyond the Southern Sea, Traversed by knights who seek the Holy Grail, The mountains belch forth fire, and flood the slopes And valleys with the sulphurous tide of hell, Till man and all his works are whelmed beneath. Then, wearied with his rage, the demon sleeps, And o'er the frozen graves of the long dead The hopeful vine grows and the flowers bloom, And children's voices and the song of birds Bid hush the awful memory of the past. But on some doomful night an ominous roar Startles the dreaming villager, who, looking Forth through his shivering casement, sees the sky Alive with fearful forms. The spirits of fire, Unchained from their long bondage, with fierce joy Dance onward, bearing death, while smoky palls Waver around them. With their ghostly hands From wrathful vials they pour blazing streams That lick the earth, from which is no escape But death--and death comes soon. So after peace, Which men had thought eternal, shall come war, And chase, with rumbling horror, the sweet dreams Of gentle harmony throughout the world. Then shall the spirit of the Table Round Enter men's hearts and make their right arms strong For deeds of war,--deeds that shall make the eyes Of those who come thereafter flash with pride. By many a far-off height and river-side Shall fall such men as fought at Badon-hill Warring with heathen foes; and lonely hearths Shall sorrow for the dead who come no more. And, one war over, others shall succeed, And others; and the blaze of burning towns Shall blot the moon out of the midnight sky. And some will say: 'Now is the end at hand Of all things, and the whole fair world is doomed To sink in ashy nothingness. The wrath Of God is kindled for the sins of men.' But when the fiery wave of war has washed The world, as gold from which the dross is burned, The nations shall rise purer, and men's hearts Shall fear the touch of wrong; the slave ashamed And angry once to see the pitiless sun Smile on his chains, shall leap and sing for joy. Free thought shall take the ancient shield of Truth And make it bright, showing the Artist's work, Long hid by stains and rust from longing eyes; And hoary ills shall die, and o'er their graves Shall bloom fair flowers, and trees of goodly fruit To gladden and make strong the heart of man." Then said Sir Bedivere: "O, good and wise, My heart is full of wonder, and I doubt Whether or not I listen in a dream Wrought by thy wizard spells around my soul. But tell me further of the Blameless Prince, The image of King Arthur,--or himself, Albeit thou sayst it not, come back again From his long sleep in Avalon. Shall he die, Or shall he live and teach men how to live Until the coming of our Master, Christ?" Then Merlin, with a cloud upon his face, As thinking of the sorrow that must be, Yet with a silver smile about the cloud, Answered Sir Bedivere: "O, loving well And loyal to the last, the Blameless Prince, The God-sent promise of a better time When all men shall be like him, good and wise, Shall, when his work is finished, pass away; And the dark shade of sorrow's wings shall blot The sky, and all the widowed land shall mourn; And chiefly she, his other self, the Queen, Shall weep long years in lonely palace-halls, Missing the music of a silent voice. But, though his voice be silent, in men's hearts Shall sink the fruitful memory of his life, And take deep root, and grow to glorious deeds. And she will write the story of his life Who loved him, and though tears may blot the page, Even as they fall, the rainbow hues of hope Shall bless them with Christ's promise of the time When they that sow in tears shall reap in joy." Then, sad and sore amazed, Sir Bedivere: "O, Merlin, Merlin, truly didst thou say That hid from eyes of common men like me Is that which is to be in after days; For even now I scarce can comprehend What thou hast spoken with prophetic lips. These things are very far beyond my reach. This only do I know, that I am now An orphan knight, reft of the royal sire That made me knight, giving my soul new birth And heirdom to the Christian fellowship Of the Round Table. Gladly would I give All glory ever won by knightly deed, All honour in the ranks of my compeers, All gentle blandishments of ladies fair, All that I am, or have, or prize the most, And sink into the meanness of the churl That feeds the Saxon's swine, for but one glimpse Of my loved lord, King Arthur. But I know That he will never more to Camelot Bring back the glory of his vanished face, Nor call me his 'true knight, Sir Bedivere.' So I will pray, even as thou badst me pray, And as King Arthur bade me, for his soul, That to his far-off home no sigh may come, From this his orphan and unhappy realm, To mar the melody of Avalon. And though he may not hither come to me, May I not hope that I may go to him, And see him face to face, in that fair land, Whose beauty mortal eye has never seen, Whose music mortal ear has never heard, Whose glory mortal heart has not conceived. But, Merlin, I would ask thee one thing more, If thou have patience with my blunter sense (For I am but a knight, and thou, a sage, And knowest all things)--prithee, tell me, Merlin, If, in the far-off after-time, shall come A Prince who shall be known by Arthur's name, And bear it blamelessly as he did his." Then, Merlin, with a wise smile on his face, Such as a mother wears who gently tries To answer the hard question of her child, Answered Sir Bedivere: "Thou askest well, And fain am I to answer. That good Prince Of whom I spake -- Albert, the Blameless Prince– Shall be the head of many dynasties. His blood, in after years, shall wear the crown Of many kingdoms. She who loved him well Shall reign for many years when he is gone, And round her widowed diadem shall gleam The richer halo of a nation's love, For her own sake and for the sainted dead. And she will shed the brightness of her soul On Britain's future Kings, and they shall learn, Not only from her lips, but from her life, That who rules well must make Christ's law his rule. And of the Good Queen and the Blameless Prince One son shall be named Arthur. Like the King For whom thy heart is sad, Sir Bedivere, He shall be true, and brave, and generous In speech and act to all of all degrees, And win the unsought guerdon of men's love. In a far land beneath the setting sun, Now and long hence undreamed of (save by me Who, in my soul's eyes, see the great round world Whirled by the lightning touches of the sun Through time and space),--a land of stately woods, Of swift broad rivers, and of ocean lakes,– The name of Arthur,--him that is to be,– (Son of the Good Queen and the Blameless Prince), Shall shed new glories upon him we loved." Then, by the memories of his lord, the King, Sir Bedivere was quickened into tears, But, like a boy ashamed to shew wet eyes Before a boy, he passed his mailéd hand Athwart his face, and frightened back his grief. And seeing Merlin made no sign to speak More of the Arthur of the after-time, He took the word: 'Thanks, Merlin, thou art kind Beyond the limit of my gratitude, I fear me. Sorrow is a selfish thing, And much exacts from friendship. Still, I thank thee That thou hast not gainsayed my utmost quest. And, now, I pray God bless him when he comes, That other Arthur. May he keep his name As pure as his who ruled in Camelot; May he, in every wise, be like to him, Save in the pain that comes of love deceived And trampled faith; and may his far-off land Be great by noble deeds of noble men." Then came a sound of music from the Lake, Like the soft sighing of the summer winds Among the pine-trees, and Sir Bedivere Turned toward the sound. But as he turned again To ask of Merlin what the music meant, Merlin was gone, and he was all alone– Alone upon the beach amid the dead! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- thank you with love and a holy kiss blowing your way Roy

God first Beloved all God loves us all here is a book that blessed me and got me to see The Holy Spirit bigger I hope you enjoy ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Gnostic Society Library The Nag Hammadi Library The Thunder, Perfect Mind Translated by George W. MacRae Chapter 1 1. I was sent forth from the power, and I have come to those who reflect upon me, and I have been found among those who seek after me. Look upon me, you who reflect upon me, and you hearers, hear me. You who are waiting for me, take me to yourselves. And do not banish me from your sight. And do not make your voice hate me, nor your hearing. Do not be ignorant of me anywhere or any time. Be on your guard! Do not be ignorant of me. 2. For I am the first and the last. I am the honored one and the scorned one. I am the whore and the holy one. I am the wife and the virgin. I am <the mother> and the daughter. I am the members of my mother. I am the barren one and many are her sons. I am she whose wedding is great, and I have not taken a husband. I am the midwife and she who does not bear. I am the solace of my labor pains. I am the bride and the bridegroom, and it is my husband who begot me. I am the mother of my father and the sister of my husband and he is my offspring. I am the slave of him who prepared me. I am the ruler of my offspring. But he is the one who begot me before the time on a birthday. And he is my offspring in (due) time, and my power is from him. I am the staff of his power in his youth, and he is the rod of my old age. And whatever he wills happens to me. I am the silence that is incomprehensible and the idea whose remembrance is frequent. I am the voice whose sound is manifold and the word whose appearance is multiple. I am the utterance of my name. 3. Why, you who hate me, do you love me, and hate those who love me? You who deny me, confess me, and you who confess me, deny me. You who tell the truth about me, lie about me, and you who have lied about me, tell the truth about me. You who know me, be ignorant of me, and those who have not known me, let them know me. 4. For I am knowledge and ignorance. I am shame and boldness. I am shameless; I am ashamed. I am strength and I am fear. I am war and peace. Give heed to me. I am the one who is disgraced and the great one. 5. Give heed to my poverty and my wealth. Do not be arrogant to me when I am cast out upon the earth, and you will find me in those that are to come. And do not look upon me on the dung-heap nor go and leave me cast out, and you will find me in the kingdoms. And do not look upon me when I am cast out among those who are disgraced and in the least places, nor laugh at me. And do not cast me out among those who are slain in violence. But I, I am compassionate and I am cruel. 6. Be on your guard! Do not hate my obedience and do not love my self-control. In my weakness, do not forsake me, and do not be afraid of my power. For why do you despise my fear and curse my pride? But I am she who exists in all fears and strength in trembling. I am she who is weak, and I am well in a pleasant place. I am senseless and I am wise. 7. Why have you hated me in your counsels? For I shall be silent among those who are silent, and I shall appear and speak, Why then have you hated me, you Greeks? Because I am a barbarian among the barbarians? For I am the wisdom of the Greeks and the knowledge of the barbarians. I am the judgement of the Greeks and of the barbarians. I am the one whose image is great in Egypt and the one who has no image among the barbarians. I am the one who has been hated everywhere and who has been loved everywhere. I am the one whom they call Life, and you have called Death. I am the one whom they call Law, and you have called Lawlessness. I am the one whom you have pursued, and I am the one whom you have seized. I am the one whom you have scattered, and you have gathered me together. I am the one before whom you have been ashamed, and you have been shameless to me. I am she who does not keep festival, and I am she whose festivals are many. I, I am godless, and I am the one whose God is great. I am the one whom you have reflected upon, and you have scorned me. I am unlearned, and they learn from me. I am the one that you have despised, and you reflect upon me. I am the one whom you have hidden from, and you appear to me. But whenever you hide yourselves, I myself will appear. For whenever you appear, I myself will hide from you. Those who have [...] to it [...] senselessly [...]. 8. Take me [... understanding] from grief. and take me to yourselves from understanding and grief. And take me to yourselves from places that are ugly and in ruin, and rob from those which are good even though in ugliness. Out of shame, take me to yourselves shamelessly; and out of shamelessness and shame, upbraid my members in yourselves. And come forward to me, you who know me and you who know my members, and establish the great ones among the small first creatures. Come forward to childhood, and do not despise it because it is small and it is little. And do not turn away greatnesses in some parts from the smallnesses, for the smallnesses are known from the greatnesses. 9. Why do you curse me and honor me? You have wounded and you have had mercy. Do not separate me from the first ones whom you have known. And do not cast anyone out nor turn anyone away [...] turn you away and [... know] him not. [...]. What is mine [...]. I know the first ones and those after them know me. 10. But I am the mind of [...] and the rest of [...].

I am the one who is honored, and who is praised, and who is despised scornfully. I am peace, and war has come because of me. And I am an alien and a citizen. I am the substance and the one who has no substance. 11. Those who are without association with me are ignorant of me, and those who are in my substance are the ones who know me. Those who are close to me have been ignorant of me, and those who are far away from me are the ones who have known me. On the day when I am close to you, you are far away from me, and on the day when I am far away from you, I am close to you. 12. within. of the natures. I am [...] of the creation of the spirits.

I am the judgment and the acquittal. I, I am sinless, and the root of sin derives from me. I am lust in (outward) appearance, and interior self-control exists within me. I am the hearing which is attainable to everyone and the speech which cannot be grasped. I am a mute who does not speak, and great is my multitude of words. 13. Hear me in gentleness, and learn of me in roughness. I am she who cries out, and I am cast forth upon the face of the earth. I prepare the bread and my mind within. I am the knowledge of my name. I am the one who cries out, and I listen. I appear and [...] walk in [...] seal of my [...]. I am [...] the defense [...]. I am the one who is called Truth and iniquity [...]. 14.

For what is inside of you is what is outside of you, and the one who fashions you on the outside is the one who shaped the inside of you. And what you see outside of you, you see inside of you; it is visible and it is your garment. 15. Hear me, you hearers and learn of my words, you who know me.

For I am the one who alone exists, and I have no one who will judge me. 18. For many are the pleasant forms which exist in numerous sins, and incontinencies, and disgraceful passions, and fleeting pleasures, which (men) embrace until they become sober and go up to their resting place. And they will find me there, and they will live, and they will not die again. ------------------------------------------------------------------ thank you with love and a holy kiss blowing your way Roy

Can someone explain to me Forgiveness?
year2027 replied to RottieGrrrl's topic in Doctrinal: Exploring the Bible
God first Beloved RottieGrrrl God loves you my dear friend you question "Can someone explain to me Forgiveness?" I can only tell you the part I see right now there is a differ from forgiving and forgeting while forgiving helps us deal with things other did we do not have to forget what changes is how we deal with that person while we learn not to push that in the person face we know to watch out for that person and be careful the saying sin is sin I believe to be true but all sin most be paid for in two ways while Jesus Christ die for all sins paying for them by giving up his life -- Christ only paid the spiritual payment but there is still fleshly payment to pay fear of going to jail, guilt and so on just because we forgive a person that does not make things the same trust must be rebuilt in the two-three-four and so on people who did the sin at times must come out in the open Jesus Christ does not hide a person who did a crime but he helps them changed so it will not be done again if they ask in love and truth I have forgiven the devil, even the Way Ministry cult but I still warn others about the Way Ministry cult and the devil I hope this helps it were I see it this second thank you with love and a holy kiss blowing your way Roy -

God first No Building manmade Church 02-17-2007 Here I sat talking with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who directs my path by the will of God the Father the one who was there before the beginning as we know it. For it is a sure thing in my heart that God and his son love us and only want the best for us as we walk in the flesh. While God because of Christ’s gift of love to us as set up a spiritual place for us to enter in due time if we just live love. You may asked why another manmade church because that is what Christ has told me to begin because of the evil in so many other manmade churches that the world has to pick from to learn about truth and love. So I Roy William Perry III begin a new kind of church, one that has no building, nor any headquarters to rule from. The is only one doctrine to this church and that is live love the best you can in your personal life, nor is there any membership list. The way this church works is you and your friends met to fellowship together with each other in your homes, schools, work places, restaurants, other manmade churches, or wherever you choice to meet. Each meeting is self governing by the people that go to the meeting and no money is took from anyone but each person gives to the places they believe will best help the movement of God’s love. No can be cast out of this church but if some one hurts another and their action is against the law they will be turn in to the law but if not put in jail they will be watch by all that go to the meeting and never given any changed to hurt another. If its found out that they were lie about and they had never hurt anyone watching them will not hurt because it must be done with love and the person who lied will be watch to make sure they do not lie again. It makes me sad that this must be done but we must look over our weak no matter who they may be or what weakness they may have. Whether this looking over it to make sure no one is hurt or to help some one over come a bad habit in their life. How this is done will is up is each personal small group, but if they need more help as what to do they may E-mail me or another group of this church. Now there will be some people who will try to use our name to miss lead others because this group is self governing and all we will be able to do is point them out to the law if their reason is to break a law. Otherwise each group is mostly on their own but there will be teaching from me on the net to find but for the most part each group sets their own things to study. Whether it be the bible, science, books of any other group, or whatever as long as their goal is to build true love of all things and sex is not love. Now I did not want to begin this church but its about time we have a manmade church that does not ask for money, nor rules by fear of being cast out. Now will this church work and build groups? It was not matter but what needs to grow is that our money is not to get a few rich but to help the few we can in need. Nor are we to be slaves to man made rules of any manmade church but we are to be slaves to living love the best way we can. A dog that is made to sat and take orders is a dog doing things out of fear but a dog doing things because the dogs wants our blessing is a dog doing things out of love. We go to churches to be love and to learn how to live love and not to be set under rules that we will not be able to follower. So think on my words and if we need a church like this begin your personal group even if your group meets on the inter net because it not the meeting place but the love in the group. Ok I will end here, thank you, with love and a holy kiss blowing your way Roy
