I will never leave you, nor forsake you. JSG

I will never leave you, nor forsake you. I will never leave you nor forsake you wherever you are or whatever you are – Hindu, Jew, Christian, Muslim, atheist. It is My nature to be the very heart and soul of your being. Neither your stupidities nor your sins can come between you and Me.

You may temporarily separate yourself from Me, that is, you may think you have separated yourself from Me, and you certainly can separate yourself from the benefit of my Presence, but that does not mean that I have left you. You will find that at any moment, night or day, whether you make your bed in hell or in heaven, whether you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, at any time you like, you may turn and you will find that I am walking beside you. I am the everlasting arms underneath you. I am the cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night. I am that which sets a table before you in the wilderness. If you are hungry, I am the ravens that come bringing you food I am the widow sharing a little cake and a cruse of oil.

I will never leave you. I will be manna to you in your desert experience. I will be that which opens the Red Sea for you, if no other way opens. I AM THAT which I AM forever and forever. I have been That unto eternity and will be That, for I am in the midst of you. Whithersoever thou goest, I will go.

Problems with O.T. law -Dr. Laura! CC

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance.

The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, penned by a US resident, which was posted on the Internet. It’s funny, as well as informative:

Dear Dr. Laura:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination … End of debate.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God’s Laws and how to follow them.

  1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations.
    A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can’t I own Canadians?
  2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
  3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of Menstrual uncleanliness – Lev.15: 19-24.
    The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offence.
  4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odour for the Lord – Lev.1:9.
    The problem is my neighbours. They claim the odour is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
  5. I have a neighbour who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death.
    Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
  6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination, Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don’t agree. Can you settle this? Are there ‘degrees’ of abomination?
  7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?
  8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
  9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
  10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn’t we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14) I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I’m confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God’s word is eternal and unchanging. Your adoring fan. James M. Kauffman, Ed.D. Professor Emeritus, Dept.

Ans to Q:Why was your human mind illusion created?

Your consciousness is the real you. World mind is illusion. Once we know better we don’t ever want to be subject to the hypnotic pull of the world mind any more. It’s then that spiritual consciousness becomes clearer and clearer. It’s then that we really begin to see that God in fact is all in all.

Person as Christ? JSG

“To call a human being the Christ is an indication that we either have been endowed with interior vision and are able to see the person as he really is, or that we are lying to him and to ourselves. No human can look upon physicality and with his mentality detect anything Christlike. All the human mind can be aware of is a physical body, and with it probably a personality, a personality that he may or may not like, or one that he may like today and not tomorrow. Only inner discernment, inner light, only an inner vision that beholds something the eye does not see and the ear does not hear can discern the Christ in any person.” ~Joel S Goldsmith

God, not human beings JSG

   God does not impart Itself to human beings. If God did, there would not be a sick or a sinful person; there would not be an accident; there would not be a war. Humanhood is something separate and apart from God, or it would not be in trouble. God appearing as man is not in trouble, is not dying, is not poor, or is not on a battlefield. You are that spiritual man only when you have learned to stop thinking in terms of good and evil. That is when you are God Itself in expression. When you are labeling nobody and no condition as either good or evil, you are the child of God; and you have dominion over everything.
