Immortality and Longevity

Image: Prozac1/FreeDigitalPhotos.net


It is really difficult to grasp the concept of immortal and eternal life, other than to believe that it exists in a place called heaven.

We live daily amidst so much disease and death. We watch people die, never to see them return.

Our comfort therefore, lies in the invisible realm of heaven, where immortality and eternal life does exist, where we go to one day,if we are fortunate, when we leave this physical existence. This realm. This is how most of us see things. For, even amongst the most sterile and healthy conditions, people die well before they are even 100, and some die very young indeed.

One would think that with all the technology and the research we have today, answers would exist on how to sustain life.

We can however, believe that 'longevity' does exist in our world today for some people. This is not beyond our current thinking. Outside the west, it is reported and recorded that Li Chuen Yuen was born in May 1677 and died in 1933, aged 256, and elsewhere around the world people are living to the 120 - 130 mark. Evidence of this physically exists in documents.

But, to go further; in the bible, it is recorded Methuselah was 969 years old, and Enoch 365 years old, when he 'disappeared'. A question that comes to me is was this down to healthy eating, smoke free zones, a santized environment, or something other than environmental factors and chance? Do we believe people lived to be those ages? I think they did. So whats changed today, to make human beings just have three scores years and ten afforded to them?

Was the lesson of the rise of Lazarus, from a tomb where he had lay, decomposing for some time, whilst his spirit was in heaven, a sign of Gods power, or/and a sign of immortality, that like Christ, some people can overcome death, and live right now? I dont know.

It is such an interesting thought though to take into account, whilst living our life today.

I think Charlie Veitch in the video below said an interesting thing. Live each day like its your first, and not your last. I like that. It removes attachment to the past. A subtle shift in consciousness also evolves around this concept. That life does not end.

To me, this also means be born new, and let the past go. Start each day afresh.

I definately know our lives, and the quality of our lives are determined by how much anger and resentment we have let go. How clear, how clean, is our 'connection' to the Creator today. And how much do we love Truth. Immortality and Eternal Life, is therefore a spiritual answer


Interesting thoughts, the answers to which I dont fully know. There are things that I thought were true once, which have turned out to be lies, and lies have turned out to be true. There are also many things too big and wonderful for me to fully grasp, for my mind has been programmed to see things a certain way. But I am greatly encouraged by the words in Revelation, which do indeed indicate the death itself will one day not occur.

Revelation 21:4
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
Revelation 21:3-5 (in Context) Revelation 21 (Whole Chapter)

Charlie from The Love Police is Arrested.

I really love Charlie. He's a man with guts. He's doing nothing wrong other than alerting people and getting them to wake up to the madness going on in our world. This he does legally, and very pleasantly, I might add. He's not venement, just slightly puzzled I think why we cannot see the abuse of our freedoms being taken away from us.
He unfortunately got arrested in Toronto. His crime was using his megaphone, and not giving his name.
He understands that the police have a job to be done, but similarly he is also exposing laws which are being abused against ordinary people. So his demeanour is always very calm and pleasant, never aggresive or antagonistic. He does however use sattire and irony in 'the right way'

The police do not have a right to demand someones name unless they are arresting them for a criminal offence. In which case they then do tell offenders that they have 'a right to remain silent' Puzzling!

The police seem to be using the law of the 'Terrorism Act 2000' a lot to demand that they can stop and search people, and although our police have an awful lot to deal with, it seems though that the time when you were considered innocent unless proven to be guilty have been turned upside down.

For every evil act, there are people around who look the other way, or do not intervene in some way. To remain neutral, is actually to side with the evil-doers. This is why the mistaken belief that peace and love alone can save this world is wrong; that way of thinking is precisely the kind of docile and lazy one-sided thinking that evil men LOVE the masses to believe, for it means they stand aside as the agenda is pushed through. Quote from Charlie Veitch

Official Opening - Headley Court

It is really nice to know that recognition and specialist rehabilitation is being given to injured servicemen who are coming back from war injured and maimed. Headley Court has been built on funds raised from the public who have really got behind supporting Help for Heroes, and its founders.

Just ordinary people helping ordinary men and women doing their job.

Extract from the speech pf Prince William on opening of Headley Court .....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v2A-IkV18s

“Very occasionally – perhaps once or twice in a generation – something or someone pops up to change the entire landscape. Help 4 Heroes, under the magnificent and brilliantly quirky leadership of the mad cartoonist, Bryn, and his equally inspirational wife, Emma, is one such phenomenon. What it has achieved here at Headley Court is, in truth, but the tip of the iceberg. Help for Heroes has galvanised the entire British people. Always supportive of its men and women in uniform, this Country has been elevated by Help for Heroes to a state of realisation and proactive support for our military that has made me, personally, very, very proud to be British, and a member of our Armed Forces.”

------

The message from H4H website.

The message is simple: H4H does not seek to criticise or be political, we simply want to help and to do so by asking everyone to do their bit to raise money. Once that money is raised, we go to the experts in the Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force for guidance as to how best to spend it. It is our intention to spend all we raise on the practical, direct support of those wounded in the service of our country since 9/11.

------

My own view is that we should help our servicemen. But how much longer must we see them bought home in coffins each week, or maimed for life. If this war is about defending our country, it makes sense of sacrifice, and courage. If there is another agenda. Shame on those sending our troops. The support for H4H from the ordinary britsh man and women on the streets of Britain is what makes Britain decent, and testifies that the spirit of goodness still reigns. Its times when I see the ordinary men and women doing whats right, that I know true decency has not been extinguished.

Happy Fathers Day

I never fully appreciated my husband until he wasn't around, and I'm not quite sure my children did to., until they were older. But one things for sure, the absence of a father leaves one great big gap in someone's life, and can have devasting effects on children growing up in homes with a single parent.

Women tend to make a bit more fuss on these special 'Mothers' Day events, in my mind, and it seems that only recently, has a bit more attention been paid to the Dads.

I'm not quite sure if its a commercial thing to make more money, or a social awareness, but men are becoming more recognised, and rightly so. The consequences of young men getting into trouble, comitting suicide, having drug and drink problems, is much higher in single parent homes, particularly when the father is not around. People are becoming more aware of that reality, now the damage is done.

We all seem to know what the perfect father would be like, and although many of us grow up with or without one, we have fathers who of course sometimes fall short of what that ideal would be like. Many have a secret contempt for their fathers.

Nonetheless, although I didnt appreciate my father when I was a child, I can apperciate him now. Although he is gone.

I think the nicest thing I remember, although I hated it then, was my father standing on the doorstep looking at his watch, when I was late home. It makes me smile to think of it now.

Similarly, my late husband always waited up for me, if I had to go out at night. It very much felt like he was looking out for me. It was something I missed for many years after.

Women and children, if they are sensible, like that protectiveness, and it is a different strength and protectiveness to what mothers give, which is sometimes too suffocating, and very needy.

So Happy Father Days to anyone reading. And thank you to my late father and husband, and most importantly God, my heavenly father. For always waiting on the doorstep for my late return.

A great article above by Chuck Baldwin about Masculinity

and a link to

Michael Glatze. http://michaelglatze.blogspot.com/ A man with an awful lot of courage.

His article addressed to Christians on Love, highlights us not leaning on our own understanding about what Love is, and the power that God (the father) has in fighting sin. So very uplifting and inspiring.

Good News

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=127883891

Women who are seeking to get an abortion in Louisiana, will now be required to have an unltrasound, under a new bill that received its final legislative passage this week.

This is really good news, and may save the life of many babies, and also the mental well-being of many women in the future. Some, who, after having had an abortion, spend years with regert over the wrong decision they have made. Rarely do we hear of the trauma, or the ill health, they experience.

Ultrasounds, and photographs of the baby in the womb, before going through with an abortion, may bring a touch of reality to some women, dispelling the myth that an unborn baby is a mere embryo, even at a few weeks old.

Everyone deserves a chance to live
