![]() This approach has MUCH Less Blood, Guts, Weeping, Wailing, and Gnashing of Teeth - but does it reflect the reality of our predicament? My background is SDA - but I no longer attend services. I guess I'm sort of a "softy." Anyway, consider reading Job through Jude - and The Desire of Ages by Ellen White - side by side - over and over again - regardless of any historical or authorship issues - as a mental and spiritual exercise. I made it clear that my preference was to incarcerate the bad guys and gals - without cruel and unusual punishment - for all eternity (if necessary) - rather than torturing and exterminating them. I once asked someone "who decides who is saved and who is lost?" - and they replied "I do." I was afraid to ask any follow-up questions - and I'm not sure if they understood my initial question - but this reply absolutely floored me. What if they are all one? That wouldn't surprise me. That goes for several individuals I have conversed with over the past several years (online and in-person). The eighteen might've been necessary historically - but should they guide our lives in modernity? I am very wary of Sherry Shriner. Researchers Beware.Ĭonsider reading the first seventeen books of the Bible (plus Revelation) - and then comparing these eighteen books with the other forty-eight books. ![]() Remember, I am attempting a strange sort of Religious and Political Science-Fiction. I've suggested Reading The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times along with Exercising in Nature as a Pragmatic Middle-Way. But I suspect this is too-little, too-late, at this late-date. I am trying to make at least some of us THINK. Think of it as being attempted by a Beautiful Mind at Princeton!! I am NOT trying to convert anyone. Think of it in the context of an Ivy-League University in the 1950's. Still that above study is quite interesting if one has the time, talent, and inclination. This seems to be an Exercise in Futility. But really, are Politics, Religion, and History ultimately Mental and Spiritual Quicksand? Will we fight over this stuff for All Eternity? I might do a Truncated Review of my ten United States of the Solar System threads. Here is a Clue from a Rebel Without a Clue: Consider reading Volumes 3,4,6,7 of the SDA Bible Commentary (1 Chronicles to Malachi and Acts to Revelation). I am truly a battered and bruised Completely Ignorant Fool. This is sort of a trick proposition and I am NOT a scholar. Consider reading I Chronicles to Malachi and Acts to Revelation regarding the Life and Teachings of Jesus as Found in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John AND regarding the Old Testament Historical Books as Found in Genesis to 2 Kings. I've covered this territory repeatedly, but here we go again. I've improvised some sort of a Stupid-Fugue - and perhaps that's the end of it. I have resisted doing anything with it myself - simply because I don't know what's what - and I don't know what I'm doing. I have made repeated informal requests for some sort of non-nefarious assistance regarding doing something with my tripe. Don't be frightened - the Solar System Governance Canon has essentially closed (for now). ![]() But who knows what the correct numbers should be? Eight Billion just sounded a lot better than Five-Hundred Million - if you know what I mean. Sub-Surface Living would seem to facilitate both objectives. I also wish for the human race to survive any threats. I simply wish for Earth, the Moon, and Mars (for starters) to remain pristine (for all eternity). The population figures were simply a place of beginning - and an effort to get some sort of a discussion going. I sometimes talk BIG - but I am NOT an Insider (in any way, shape, or form - that I know of). My online activities have really been a process of discovery. I have no idea what's really going on in this solar system. But this presently makes me very nervous. I have suggested the possibility of four billion people on Earth (with two billion on the surface - and two billion subsurface) - with four billion people throughout the rest of the solar system (mostly subsurface). What Do YOU Want? Right off the bat - I must say that I don't know enough about the colonization of the solar system to know what to desire.
