![]() ![]() I appreciate and respect most people on this planet, but beliefs are open for discussion. While from this perch, I might not fully understand what took me so long to get here, but I'm here now. I just grew tired and needed firm ground beneath me. I want evidence and proof and something I can grasp with mind and body. I want to honor, for the current time, that which is real. We all spend our time in the Great and Spacious Building. Lutherans of the Right-side Synod ridicule Lutherans of the Left-side Synod. There are some things that people believe that are ridiculous. I just mention this because, while the imagery is good, the premise is flawed. They wanted something that was real, concrete, consistent. At some point, they just couldn't anymore. The name 'Great And Spacious' can seem be a bit threatening if youre not aware of the context its used in on this site. Now, maybe their paths were different but they also were once believers. Most had been there and had struggled with the same things I did. I asked those that were knowledgeable in diverse things, "Why are you laughing at those over there, eating?". The interior and exterior restoration of the buildings has been carried out in. You can also ask those you know, love and respect in other things, why they hold different views about life, love, family, etc. Meanwhile, the smaller building houses two characterful country cottages. I think a lot can be learned by questioning your own beliefs. One of the greatest thing people can do is ask, "Why?" I had come to the point of asking "Why?", not only of those that were educating me on my chosen beliefs, but also to swim across that river of water and ask of those in the building, "Why?" building a home and breaking sod claiming the privilege of worshipping the Almighty God. I learn by reading, asking questions and being convinced of particular stances. ![]() I didn't want to feel shame over my beliefs or how I had chosen to live my life. I mention this because I found that these verses had exerted a good deal of control over my search for, if I can call it this, reality. In this case, it is laughing at those that chose to follow Jesus.Ģ6 And I also cast my eyes round about, and beheld, on the other side of the river of water, a great and spacious building and it stood as it were in the air, high above the earth.Ģ7 And it was filled with people, both old and young, both male and female and their manner of dress was exceedingly fine and they were in the attitude of mocking and pointing their fingers towards those who had come at and were partaking of the fruit.Ģ8 And after they had tasted of the fruit they were ashamed, because of those that were scoffing at them and they fell away into forbidden paths and were lost. In it are people that are mocking those that have chosen a particular path in life. ![]() In the religion of my youth-middle age, there's a parable, story, or tale about a vision that involves a large building. "Let go of what you know and honor what exists." ![]()
