GOD was/is/will be moving… ALWAYS
Silhouette by THRICE
Your eyes, followed me here.
Your eyes, seamless and sure.
They leave me broken and, in need of a cure.
Your eyes, followed me here.
Your eyes, sifting my soul.
They leave me broken and forge diamonds from the coal.
They race me along
the infinite synapse of white lines.
and then while chasing the dawn
with storybook syntax
Your eyes slit the throat, of all I know.
About myself and this life.
This silhouette lie.
And your eyes, speaking in tongues.
Vigilant still, filling my lungs.
Testing my will.
They leave me broken and, bruised and bleeding.
Your eyes, resting in flame,
Leave me breathless again
Like hydrogen
Split on faultlines
or ten years living with
exposure to radon
Your eyes slit the throat, of all I know.
About myself and this life.
This silhouette lie.
Your eyes, Your eyes.
Speaking in tongues.
Vigilant still, lead our way.
Filling my lungs.
Testing my will.
You slit the throat, of I know.
About myself and this life.
This silhouette lie.
You slit my throat.
Because I know,
That this life, is a lie.
So slit my throat.
sometimes, i have to admit that God really is too much to handle.
God has revealed more to me in the past couple of weeks than i thought could ever happen.
i have learned more about the Holy Spirit in the past two weeks than i thought i could.
more than i thought i already knew… at least i thought i already knew a lot.
how humbling. 
and sometimes… pretty frightening.
but i honestly should not be afraid, but so very thankful.
that God cares enough for me to reveal more and more of Himself to me.
i have been a christian now for about 11 years,
and the past couple weeks could really sum up the past 7 years of my christian life.
all i know is that the bible is truer to me now that it ever has been.
more alive to me now than i could ever hope for… and for that i am truly grateful.
prophecy is a big part of the bible.
prophecy offers proof of God’s providence.
the way God shows His people that He really does care for them.
that He wants so badly to provide.
if we didn’t have prophecy, we would really have to rethink this thing of faith.
it would be a million times harder i think to live a life as a christian if there was no prophecy.
you have to read the whole bible and understand each and every word of it, as well as live it out perfectly, in order to disprove it… and i haven’t really ever met anyone who has “arrived”.
so, yeah… my point.
for someone to ever say that “that is not for this time” when talking about the bible really heats me up.
and i never quite understood why. i just knew that in my gut it never set well.
and i thank God for that… because i believe it’s blasphemous to even think of such a thing.
God is past, present and future… God is all the time.
now, i do believe that we live by the new testament because the prophecy from the old testament was fulfilled through Jesus Christ the Savior.
i don’t think the old testament law should be taken literally, but that it is still a good measurement for conduct depending on who you are and what situation we are in.
but… to say that “those things weren’t meant for our time” or “that isn’t meant for everyone” especially after Jesus has died for everyone of this time… i dunno, sounds like a buncha baloney!!!
Jesus died for “everyone” “of this time”… hmm… not coincidence.
who are you to tell me that the Holy Spirit isn’t able???
i know who you better be… and that is THE BIG MAN UPSTAIRS.
now, if you wanna read I Corinthians 12 and Acts 2 and tell me that those things died long ago,
that pretty much sounds like you’re telling me the Holy Spirit is dead.
my very own birth is proof that prophecy still exists. God knew me before i was in the womb. (Jeremiah 1:5a)
also, Jesus speaks of this kind of thing in Luke 12:1-11.
the Holy Spirit is only as dead as you let it be.
i pray that every christian wants the fullness of what God wants to be in his/her life.
but the Holy Spirit can only act as much as a person will allow it to.
i am not saying that people who don’t speak prophetic word or speak in tongues don’t have the Holy Spirit and therefore have salvation.
i am saying that there is much more to what the Holy Spirit can do, if you allow it to lead you and FILL you and every aspect of your life.
and that is definitely something to pray for and be so very thankful for.

It’s blasphemous to even think about questioning the old testament? Have you done any scholarly secular study into the origins of the OT, especially when they were written, by whom, who pick and chose what was “biblical” and what wasn’t and how they went about that, the crazy differences between different manuscripts, the borrowing from other, older, religions? God gave you intelligence and reason, saying it’s blasphemous to question an ancient text poorly written (and passed down by word-of-mouth) by humans is pretty ridic. There’s some of those things in the NT, too – read up on which of the pauline letters were actually by him and which are questioned and which passages were added in later by editors – but the OT is so rife with problems that it’s pretty hard to separate the wheat from the chafe. I was raised (read: brainwashed) to believe that every word of the bible was straight from God’s mouth to some nebulous english-speaker in the middle ages, and if I didn’t believe that then I hated God and would burn in hell, but it’s simply not true.
I do lots of questioning, and have a lot of unanswered questions, but one thing I’m sure of – God didn’t give us minds and intelligence and then forbid us to use them, no matter what the eden myth says.
i want to first of all thank you for commenting.
but i think you missed my point.
i don’t think that it is blasphemous to question God.
i think God wants christians to question even more than people who don’t believe in His Word.
i never said that the people that wrote the bible were perfect.
i believe that these people, like myself, are far from perfect.
but i do believe that God is perfect. and find no fault in what God allows… especially when it comes to the bible.
“I was raised (read: brainwashed) to believe that every word of the bible was straight from God’s mouth to some nebulous english-speaker in the middle ages, and if I didn’t believe that then I hated God and would burn in hell, but it’s simply not true.”
do you hate God???
listen, i don’t know who offended you and i don’t know who wronged you, but your argument isn’t even really that clear to me.
and i want to understand you, but you just seem to be contradicting yourself.
knowledge is something to be obtained.
wisdom comes from doing and action.
ecclesiastes is a prime book about the whole questioning thing.
i just want to encourage you to be more open.
and not open-minded.
but more open-hearted.
i am sorry that people are sacks of crap.
i am sorry that we tend to do more harm than good when we tend to find everyone’s faults and without first dealing our own.
i am sooooo sorry that you have been offended.
it makes my heart break.
all that is not of God. God never meant for this to happen.
somehow, we always miss the mark and sometimes that can really mess people up.
i hope this passage encourages you:
1 Timothy 1 (New Living Translation)
Greetings from Paul
1 This letter is from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, appointed by the command of God our Savior and Christ Jesus, who gives us hope.
2 I am writing to Timothy, my true son in the faith.
May God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord give you grace, mercy, and peace.
Warnings against False Teachings
3 When I left for Macedonia, I urged you to stay there in Ephesus and stop those whose teaching is contrary to the truth. 4 Don’t let them waste their time in endless discussion of myths and spiritual pedigrees. These things only lead to meaningless speculations,[a] which don’t help people live a life of faith in God.[b]
5 The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith. 6 But some people have missed this whole point. They have turned away from these things and spend their time in meaningless discussions. 7 They want to be known as teachers of the law of Moses, but they don’t know what they are talking about, even though they speak so confidently.
8 We know that the law is good when used correctly. 9 For the law was not intended for people who do what is right. It is for people who are lawless and rebellious, who are ungodly and sinful, who consider nothing sacred and defile what is holy, who kill their father or mother or commit other murders. 10 The law is for people who are sexually immoral, or who practice homosexuality, or are slave traders,[c] liars, promise breakers, or who do anything else that contradicts the wholesome teaching 11 that comes from the glorious Good News entrusted to me by our blessed God.
Paul’s Gratitude for God’s Mercy
12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength to do his work. He considered me trustworthy and appointed me to serve him, 13 even though I used to blaspheme the name of Christ. In my insolence, I persecuted his people. But God had mercy on me because I did it in ignorance and unbelief. 14 Oh, how generous and gracious our Lord was! He filled me with the faith and love that come from Christ Jesus.
15 This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”—and I am the worst of them all. 16 But God had mercy on me so that Christ Jesus could use me as a prime example of his great patience with even the worst sinners. Then others will realize that they, too, can believe in him and receive eternal life. 17 All honor and glory to God forever and ever! He is the eternal King, the unseen one who never dies; he alone is God. Amen.
Timothy’s Responsibility
18 Timothy, my son, here are my instructions for you, based on the prophetic words spoken about you earlier. May they help you fight well in the Lord’s battles. 19 Cling to your faith in Christ, and keep your conscience clear. For some people have deliberately violated their consciences; as a result, their faith has been shipwrecked. 20 Hymenaeus and Alexander are two examples. I threw them out and handed them over to Satan so they might learn not to blaspheme God.
