Is Partial Plausibility the Same Thing as Impossible?

My friend Bee,

I hope that you are beginning to see that this entire enterprise truly is all about you.  Is it evident to you that I am not trying to glorify myself?  This is all a pretty strange way of going about things, if that was my intent.

Please understand that I have never wanted to cause you stress, anxiety, fear, anger, or any other unpleasant feelings or emotions.  I know that many of the things that I have written to you have caused you grief, sorrow, and pain.  There are certain things that I knew at the time that I wrote them would be a discomfort to you, but there are other things that I have written where I did not foresee tears in your eyes.  However, I have always been careful to be as truthful with you as I could possibly ever be to anyone.  I have leaned very heavily upon God to lead me as I write to you, to be certain that I really am being truthful with you.

This is the problem.  Often times, the truth can be painful, but it is only by facing up to the truth that we can understand what is wrong and where the deception, the lies, and the subtlety exists in our lives.  The truth is a light that reveals the darkness.  Without the truth, we are unable to see the darkness in our lives.

In all soberness and sincerity, I have never knowingly allowed myself to say anything to you that I thought would cause you pain unless it was for the specific purpose to help you understand the truth.  It is out of love that I have thought to cause you to suffer, so that you might know the truth and to be able to see the darkness and to be free from that darkness.  Is it not better that you suffer sorrow and pain for a season in order to discover and to take hold of eternal joy and light, than it is to live in an undisturbed darkness until you finally realize that you will never ever be free from that darkness – a adarkness that continually becomes ever more dark?  I have only ever wanted you to be happy and filled with joy, but you will never be able to find true happiness and to live in untethered joy as long as you are living in darkness.

When I first began this blog, I did not anticipate that my struggles with my health and my diet were going to be quite as extreme as they have been.  Neither did I expect the Bible Study effort to be so all-consuming.  Do not get me wrong. I fully anticipated that both of these aspects were going to be exceedingly difficult to handle, yet they both turned out to be far greater challenges than I expected.

I knew that the battle with my gastrointestinal affliction was going to be exceedingly difficult.  After all, I have been battling with this affliction for 20 years.  I knew that it was going to be insanely difficult, but I had no clue that, in the process, I would be uncovering this long-standing body-fluid balance issue.  The whole situation has been a huge surprise to me. It is an incredibly complex problem, and it is not a situation that can be resolved quickly by any means.

With the Bible study, it just never occurred to me that the beginning of the Scofield Bible would contain so many comments to grapple with, as well as comments of such complexity and depth.  With the Scofield Study Bible, well over 10% of all the comments in the entire Bible are contained in the book of Genesis.  Moreover, some of the most complex and comprehensive comments that Dr. Scofield includes in his Bible are situated in the first half of the book of Genesis.  Therefore, the effort to produce these Bible studies, here at the beginning, has been about three times as great as what I anticipated.

As a result, I have had no choice but to completely neglect the care and feeding of my blog, and, more importantly, I have not been able to focus my attention on you as I feel that I should.  As I stated in my most recent blog post, “The Waiting Drives Me Crazy,” God has let me face these difficulties for very definite purposes.  There are reasons why these difficulties have come about, and they are very good reasons.  Furthermore, they are all reasons that need to be explained; however, I cannot explain them to you until you understand more about the quest itself.

My dear friend,

Yesterday I published a blog post (titled, “Sleepy Head …”) where I was going to begin discussing the preparations required for the conquest proper.  However, before I was able to get to that subject, the Spirit of God diverted me into a much greater and more urgent subject.  I am sorry if it seemed a bit strong.  Please do not think that I get any satisfaction out of delivering tough messages or preaching judgment … or that I am trying to belittle you.  Nevertheless, I do it out of obedience to my Lord and God, but also out of the love that I have for you.

It is all important that you understand that none of this is for my own glory.  It is no mystery to me that very few people think that this endeavor is anything other than pure foolishness.  I do not expect that sentiment to change anytime soon.  I am nothing more than a spectacle in the eyes of most that see these posts or stumble into the Website.  That is perfectly fine with me.  I am more than willing to bear the shame and reproach for your sake and the sake of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  I am nothing more than a vessel … a messenger.

It is not important if you take me for a fool or not, because I am not the one that is important here.  God, the creator of the Earth, the cosmos, and everything beyond our cosmos is giving specific place and attention to you.  He is using me to send that message to you, but that is my end.  I am only the messenger, and the message to you from God is that He loves you.  Listen to Him, not to me.

I do not know why God wants me to give you these verses at this moment, but for some reason He wants you to have them:

“1The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth; 2For the truth’s sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. 3Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.”

2nd John 1:1-3 KJV

The Difficulty of my Errand

My dear friend,

    You may have noticed that I added a second position to my LinkedIn profile today.  If you click on the company logo and read through the LinkedIn Company Profile for UNIT Materials and Science, I believe that the company summary will seem a bit familiar to you.

“We develop ultra-lightweight materials engineered to provide exceptional structural strength and remarkable thermal insulation characteristics in concurrence. We provide solutions for applications where any combination of two or more of these significant attributes of high-tech engineering are a design factor: High strength, Ultra-lightweight, Minimal material profile, and Extremely low thermal energy transfer.”

    You may recall when I told you about this invention that I was working on.  It was a revelation that God gave to me about three years ago.  At the time, I did not understand the full significance of the revelation.  I simply thought that it was a great way to make a living and to branch out on my own.  Little did I know that God had given me the idea for this very purpose.

    What purpose is that? … for the purpose of my quest.  Aside from God himself, these materials are the foundation for making a global circumnavigation a reality.  Without these materials the quest truly would be impossible.  With these materials, the quest becomes technically plausible.
