Welcome
Introduction
I like to use computers for work and for hobby. I like living in Japan with my family. I'm a Christian.
Why the 🌈 rainbow?
Some might be wondering, especially in today's day and age, "Why do you use a rainbow in your pictures?"
The answer is in the other drawing of a dove holding an olive branch. The dove represents something, and the olive branch represents something, can you guess what it means? So does the rainbow, and in this context, it has a truth. What is the truth? It's what God says about it, not what we say about it. I believe God said the rainbow was a promise to us as his creation. The promise was that He would not destroy the world again with water. He sent a dove with a piece of new life, new land, new beginnings to offer hope to Noah's family, to get off the ark, the boat, and to live a new life, without general human evil and wickedness. It is this meaning why I used the rainbow.
There are other meanings for rainbow as you know.
The rainbow is something you see when it rains. Sometimes you see a double-rainbow.
The rainbow represents many beautiful colors, doesn't it? Yes it does.
The rainbow also has a color you don't see, but scientists can. It's the color of white. When you start to burn something, white is the first color, then all other colors proceed from it. I saw this in a Japanese science glass, the white, then the other colors of the rainbows followed after that. Did you know it?
So if you see a rainbow, your eye doesn't see the "white" color, and also contradictory, the "black" color. The black color isn't seen but it's there just on the opposite end.
There is meaning to this. I think God wants us to meditate on His Word and find the truth behind it. Don't you?
Now, one of the issues, I see in human greed and thievery is this, they (meaning you and me, we, us, them, him, her, that guy over in that country, you get it?) we all, myself included, want something else. What is that? To really test if "God is telling us the truth" so we "search" with sometimes pure and sometimes hidden motives, and sometimes with "morbid curiosity" to get "knowledge of good and evil", don't' we. In the name of science and religion, many have errored and created their own "paths", "wisdom", "philosophies", and "rules" and "gods/Gods" and you get the point. Some even deny the very existence of God, claiming all people of faith to be mad, foolish, evil, harmful, control freaks, etc. Now some on the "religious" group also are just as bad, if not worse, blinded by their own arrogance, self-righteousness and hypocrisy. Both sides accusing the other. Some want complete anarchy, where they intend to bring down all "rulers" and preach a message of "we the people" and make groups, factions, uprisings, while under the name of "justice" and "peace" and "democracy" or "republic" wants to be the "rulers" yet someone rises, others protest and we get a non-stop cycle of madness, where we are afraid to talk about our true heart, our mind, fearing the face, facing a possible lost of revenue, fearing the opinions of others. Don't we? Thus we are all lead into a people-pleasing society void of truth, claiming to be so smart.
God has sent Jesus to give us truth. If we would only listen, if we would only try to understand what He meant. If we would only use that as a light to look into our own souls, and see what darkness lies inside us all, and see how it compares to the pure, white, holy light of God's truth, with God's nature who is unconditionally loving us all, if we did that, we would see our errors, and thus be presented to make a choice of the will and intellect and emotions that God is really there, God is love, God is for the sinner, that is, the humans of me and you and even those we are currently hating, and holding a grudge against. Jesus died on the cross for our sins to take this punishment upon Himself. Like a military member would save a platoon, like a mom who would rescue her children from a fire, God became a human and did this very thing in many historical miracles and also taking our punishment.
The rainbow represents God's power, God's beauty, God's creation, God's wisdom, many things good about God and from God. The rainbow represents the traits of God, his love, his mercy, his freedom, his servant hood nature to you and me, his divine wrath, and his divine justice, and his divinity. You and I can't see God but we can't 100% see his works. That is not debatable. It's up to us to interpret properly.
Some people hate Jesus. Jesus said why they hated him. So I will tell you what Jesus about Himself and not what I say. He said that the world can't hate you (me and you) but the world (others/self included) hate Me (Jesus) because I tell it's ways (the world, humans, me and you) are wrong.
Reason 1 - the world hates Jesus simply because Jesus tells us that we are wrong.
Reason 2 - is....
Jesus said that the world hate me because it "looks the darkness rather than the light"
We have looked at darkness haven't we? Not really, we focused on the rainbow, but you know we have darkness just as well as our neighbor across the street, as a co-worker we work with and others we see and meet online. We have what we accuse others of. We accuse other of cheating, lying, stealing, having sick intentions, having morbid interests, don't we? Now, why did we do that? Some say "it takes one to know one" and "don't kid and kidder", the reason why we "know" that we "know" is by our thoughts, and interpretations of these thoughts, with our own biases and prejudices and we have projected onto others. For example, the man who has committed many gross lustful sins, will say things like "all men are just the me, if not worse" and also not say but think "I'm the most holiest of men on the planet, it's not me, it's them". The problem is that the other men in the world also think the same way and you both and I will both cancel each other out. Women and not are not so different in this respect. How many of us can admit to crimes we secretly committed inside our own dark mind, with our dark imaginations, with our dark fantasies, but kind of like watching others committed the same dark things, or even worse, saying you hate the dark things, but secretly don't hate your own darkness. It's that a huge lie. Yet, that is the state we are in.
Jesus was nothing like us. He was perfect. He never one lusted after any women. He always was harsh to the self-righteous religious hypocrites of his day, called the Pharisees and Sadducees. He saved a women caught in adultery. Why? Because he was God, who rightly interpreted the law of "You can't commit adultery" while preaching "if a man who looks at a women has secretly desired her in his heart, he has already committed adultery" Jesus gave us the law of God, Jesus rightly interpreted the law of God, Jesus gave the law to those proud people, those proud religious men, and also saved the women caught in adultery.
Jesus said "Women, where are your accusers?" and she replied "there is no one here Lord" and Jesus said "Then neither do I condemn you, now go and sin no more"
Question: Do you know any men like Jesus?
Answer: No, I'm not like that, and I know you are not either.
What we are men like? We say "She tempted me, she is the temptress, she lied, and manipulated and controlled me, if she would only listen to me"
Bingo!!!!
and we say "we love God, we follow Jesus"
We make God sick when we act this way. Jesus would rather vomit us out of his mouth according to what Jesus says in the last book of the Bible in revelations.
For women? What can I say? I'm not a women, I don't know what women think about men, I know what my wrong, biases, predudice brains thinks, I know the bad mental health mindsets that plague me say about women. God knows. That is good enough for me. My work is to pray for myself, to change, to repent, to belief, to pray for men and women like me, unlike me, it doesn't matter. If the hate me, or not, love me, or avoid me or whatever, my faith in Jesus matters to me.
I will have to give an account for everything I said or did. Every thought, every motive and everything. So will you.
I will not have others to "vote" or "encourage" or "plead to God on my behalf". It will just be God and me. He is the judge. If I trust in God's mercy, I have to also trust and believe in God's wrath. Either God put Himself on the cross for me, and I believe it, I lived by that truth, or I only professed it, living a double-life, and thus might hear "I never knew you, depart from me, you worker of iniquity"
Forget about me casting stones and judging other people. God is after me and wants me and wants you, but if we choose now today to ignore His calling, His voice, His still small voice, then we are actually choosing death, and a life of hell on earth, here and now, and it will end in our doom, and being separated from God, from beauty, from love, and into darkness, into gloom, into shame, into weeping and endless pain and suffering.
Many men seek to understand this.
Question: How do I stop (insert some lust/sin/s-x/adultery/p-rn/affair/etc)?
If you are a man reading this, you might have asked this. No wait, let's get the first information straight. Shall we?
Let's answer that questions by asking more in-depth questions just in general?
Why did serial killers and rapists do what they did?
Why did someone in the family get molested?
Why did children do things to one another that they really don't want to talk about?
Why do parent shy away from talking about this?
Accusations from angry people: They say "you have no right to teach my children your religion".
To the women, you might be cheating on your husband, or you might be cheated on and blame your looks, your skills, your (something). What your cheating husband had nothing to do with your pretty looks or your cooking or your attitude, even though, you will hear your own inner critic blaming you, your husband telling you that "it's your fault" and "if you were only more intimate with me then I would not have (something bad)"
Now to get the men. Men, why did we cheat? why did we lust? You think "God made us horny, visual, and made women for our pleasure?" You are stupid. You think wrong!!!. Read the Bible, you don't find the verses of such beliefs but we find that God made a help mate for Adam, that was Eve.
She was not his play thing nor his slave. God said, that it was not good for man to be alone. God knew that every creation had a male and a female, and Adam was without. So God made Eve for Adam. Now, you interpret that verse as "she is my physical pleasure object" don't you. Well, your s-xual acting out, your inner lust, and your secret motives are telling you that, and if you follow your flesh, and natural ways, you are doomed and also ruining a women's life, and she doesn't want a dog and a pig for a husband, the same that you want a faithful wife, she is looking for the same. Someone to love, and be loved by. You are both looking for the same thing.
Don't be fooled by the modern or classic love novels and movies. Don't be fooled by a temptress either.
Man, you might think "but why do women dress that way?" or "she is really secretly like me, a s-xual pervert or worse" and you believe in lies. No one is born a pervert but made into one and made into one by their own lusts, and listening to the voices in their head, voices in society the peer pressure, seduced by love of money, following a dream of self-sufficiency, and false god and religions of self and idols. That is what is really going on spiritually. The same devil tempting the immoral women is also tempting the immoral men. The way out of this hell, is to confess your love of the sins to God. To admit that you loved the evil and dark ways, and beg God for a change of heart. Beg God for a new heart and a new mind. Turn away from hating God, Turn away from hating your wife, forgive the women who hurt you in your past. That is the way out of the living hell, you are living in, and into the paradise of God here and now. Get into prayer. Get off the internet, and whatever your temptation is, and hate, hate, hate evil. Specifically, your own evil more than the evil you perceive in others. Because the evil you accuse your family, friends, and acquaintances of, is found in you and much worse. I guarantee it. You hate cheaters, but you did it more and worse. How many times have you looked with lust at another human. Let me ask you. It doesn't matter what age, what person, who, why, when, how many times did you lust after a person in real life, in virtual, in the chats, on the internet, while driving, while thinking, what were your thoughts and desires? God saw it and knows it all, even you deny and will never admit to your "accountability" circle. You are doomed, unless Jesus Christ sets you free. Doomed.
Jesus Christ is for the sinner. Believe it. Fall in love with God and know His love for you. Jesus died on the cross for you. He hurt for you. Don't turn away from His love and step on His grace for a mere pleasure or habit or wrong way of viewing the world, others and self. Get cleaned, and get right. You're not here for much longer anyways. Where will you spend in 1,000,000 years from now? In heaven? or in hell? You choose.
