Freedom Journey


This blog was created on Saturday March 22, 2014, and is geared to folks whose steadfast aim is freedom through learning, teaching and DOING truth. Incorrect beliefs can prevent constructive forward motions. We cannot afford to allow ignorance, pride and stubbornness to keep us deceived.

Refuse to be prisoners of your perceptions. Cast away nonsense traditions. Freedom resides in authentic and proven truths.

REAL truth is freedom!

***
Only GOD is perfect. It's vital to seek the Lord to expose errors. Please ask Him to expose any areas of darkness and for what is necessary to DO to dispossess what's NOT of truth.

Wake up to More Awareness

Hi -

- Many people are existing on recycled, repetitive, insufficient and often deceptive information.

- Many people are dumbed down and have become "comfortable" in states of ignorance. We all have areas of ignorance -- key is to be receptive to becoming better informed . . .

- Many folks have poor diets and don't consume enough brain foods.

- Many folks are afraid of change.

- Many folks have become prisoners of their perceptions.

- Many folks aren't TRULY AWAKENED to who they are.

- Many folks FALSELY believe that they are adequately awakened to who they are -- and awakened to the vitals relative to life -- and living it to the fullest . . . But they are woefully wrong in lots of aspects . . .

- Plainly "speaking" -- some folks are just addicted to stupid.

There are, however, MORE folks who are AWAKENING and thereby seeking more about love, truth, peace -- and what "ingredients" add up to TRUE POWER AND FREEDOM.

Yep, more folks are coming out of "dead," stale, recycled, repetitive and insufficient/false teachings . . . And awakening to FREEDOM -- indeed!

Cheers to that positive, liberating truth.

Say Yes to Freedom

Hi -

Some folks are mentally and spiritually:

- on life support.

- on "junk food" diets.

- semi-conscious.

- largely unconscious

- comatose.

- dead on arrival -- DOA . . .

There is hope, though -- more folks are coming up out of "graves, . . ." and learning how to TRULY live FREE.

Tribute to Marion Barry, former mayor of Washington, D.C.

Hi -

I live in D.C. and am a native of this city. Yes, Marion Barry faltered, as do we all.

This I know -- Barry was a lionhearted man of courage in areas that mattered hugely.

He was a people person and that's why many folks continued to love him. They supported and voted for Barry because -- TRULY -- he made a considerable positive difference in the lives of D.C.'s citizens. He's the founder of the youth jobs program here. That beneficial program is still in action helping youth who need employment to aid in providing their needs and desires. Barry consistently helped the senior citizens here in essential ways. He spoke up and pressed for assistance for the downtrodden, the ex-offenders, the homeless and the disenfranchised. He was instrumental in making things happen that benefited folks -- indeed.

Yes, in his many years as a politician, Marion Barry made a significant positive impact on this city and likely even beyond this jurisdiction.

Did I always agree with Marion Barry? No. In fact, a few years ago, I publicly disagreed with him at a city council hearing. A reporter there overheard . . . She approached me to learn more about my disagreement with Barry. I refused to give her a story. I told her that Barry has enough problems. On a different occasion/day, in the Wilson Building, Barry and I encountered one another again. I told him, "I love you." He responded, "Thank you."

Of course, we all have our detractors. Barry had more than a few. Folks can express what they're inclined to mention about his crimes and shortcomings but those who supported him voted with their feet -- straight to the polls -- NUMEROUS times to re-elect him. Barry's legacy will be recorded in the annals of history as one of the greatest political success stories in the WORLD.

Whatever his flaws, NO ONE in the history of THE WORLD was voted into public office as many times as Marion Barry. He was indeed a MASTER politician with "lion blood" running in his heart and veins.

Yes, Barry was a true lover of the people, and for that and other meaningful reasons -- many folks loved, supported and voted for him, regardless.

I'm pleased to go on public record to express that I'm of that number who loved me some Marion Barry.

Matthew from the Gospel of Matthew

Hi -

There are some who doubt that the Bible gospels were written by the men who they're named after -- Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

Matthew 9:9 - KJV says, "And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him."
###

IF Matthew had written the book of Matthew would he say as is mentioned in Matthew 9:9 - KJV, " . . . he saw a man, named Matthew . . ." ?

IF Matthew wrote the book of Matthew, wouldn't he have said, "And as Jesus passed forth from thence, HE SAW ME . . . and he saith UNTO ME, Follow me . . .?"

###

I doubt that Matthew wrote the book of Matthew. I also doubt that men named Mark, Luke and John wrote the books named after them. In that region, European names weren't the names . . . Aren't Matthew, Mark, Luke and John European and NOT Middle Eastern names?

In the book of Acts we read names like Ananias and Sapphira, etc. Throughout the Bible we read names like Isaiah, Jeremiah, Zephaniah, Malachi, Ezekiel, Habakkuk, etc. Then Luke, Mark, Matthew, and John -- European names? Huh?

Announcement

Hi -

Is it possible that Christians are wrong about long held and long taught beliefs?  Recently, I had a dream in which I asked a Christian teacher/counselor these words, "What if you're wrong?"  And in the subject dream, she conceded that she could be wrong . . .

There's much to learn, but unfortunately -- for numerous people -- so many folks refuse to dig deeper to test, examine, research, consider, discern, etc.  For a long time, I was of such posture, but now I seek PROOFS .  . .

Posted for review purposes, excerpt from book, Gospel Fictions :

How do we know that the Gospel story is true? Because it confirms the prophecies of the Old Testament. But how do we know that the Old Testament prophecies are true? Because they are confirmed by the Gospel story. Evidence, so called, is bounced back and forth between the testaments like a tennis ball; and no other evidence is given us.The two testaments form a double mirror, each reflecting the other but neither the world outside."
