Preface: Love Everybody

Rolf Auer

21 September 2012

This accounting is of my voyage of discovery with regards to Christianity. It was written fromapproximately beginning of April 2012 to end of September 2012. It resembles both a diary and astream-of-consciousness narrative, this latter unlike any Ive seen before. That would probably

account for the often repetitious quality of the book.

Its a short book, only 123 pages long. However, I must give fair warning: It has many, manyBiblical quotations, and some readers would undoubtedly rather avoidwhat they might perceive as

tediousreading these passages. However, the book isnt entirely that: There are also poems,anecdotes, etc. For example, on p.81, there is a short bio piece about me. If you, dear reader, dont

want to wend your way through the entire book, might I suggest skipping around to see what mightplease you.

As per {Mark 12:30-31 Jesus:}, I first of all wrote this for The Lord God Jesus, and The Lord our

God JEHOVAH. Lastly, I wrote this for my family and friends, and for all the social justice groupswith which I have worked.

Jesus, JEHOVAH, I do love thee with all my heart, and all my soul, and all my mind, and all my

strength, for ever.

I Peter 5:14Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity: Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

John 15:12 Jesus:

This is my Commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.

... in the entire world.

John 3:16-17 16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son: that

whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17: For God sent nothis Son into the world to condemn the world: but that the world through him might be saved.

Galatians 5:6 For in Jesus Christ, neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision,but faith which worketh by love. I Timothie 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on

eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before manywitnesses. Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord, shall be

saved. Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shaltbelieve in thine heart, that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Much earlier...Deuteronomie 5:6-7 6: I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt,from the house of bondage. 7: Thou shalt have none other gods before me.

And much later...

Romans 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not your selves, but rather give place unto wrath: for itis written, Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord.

What is Gods Vengeance? Ever hear of the ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, which were

rife with evil?Genesis 18:17,20-21 17: And the LORD said, shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I

do; 20: And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and becausetheir sin is very grievous: 21: I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether

according to the cry of it, which is come unto me: and if not, I will know.

The LORD God Jehovah demonstrates His great compassion and mercy (and perhaps humour?)by allowing Abraham to haggle with Him about terms for leaving the cities alone.Genesis 18:23-33 23: And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous

with the wicked? 24: Peradventure there be fifty righteous men within the city; wilt thou alsodestroy, and not spare the place for the fifty righteous, that are therein? 25: That be far from

thee, to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, and that the righteous shouldbe as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all earth do right? 26: And the

LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous, within the city, then I will spare all the place fortheir sakes. 27: And Abraham answered; and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to

speak unto the LORD, which am but dust and ashes. [Face to face! Brave, brave man!]28: Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for

lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it. 29: And he spakeunto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there: and he said, I will

not do it for fortys sake. 30: And he said unto him, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I willspeak: Peradventure there shall be thirty found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty


6/128

there. 31: And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD:Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twentys

sake. 32: And he said, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak but this once:Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for tens sake.

[Abraham had guts, thats for sure! Please forgive my egregiously inappropriate lack of respect

for presuming to know the Mind of God, but by this time the LORD God must have been sorelytried even with His infinite patience.] 33: And the LORD went his way, as soon as he hadleft communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned to his place.

Not even ten righteous men could be found.

Genesis 19:24-25 24: Then the LORD rained upon Sodom & upon Gomorrah, brimstone andfire, from the LORD out of heaven. 25: And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and

all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

I used to have a recurring dream of this until I prayed that it be taken away. On a verdant plainwere sprawling cities; overhead, ominous black cloudsso large that these blotted out the

Sunwere amassing, swelling, and swirling. Oblivious to their impending doom, the cityinhabitants carried on with their evil. Vivid red fire and brilliant yellow masses of burning sulfur

started streaking diagonally down from the terrifying dark thunderclouds, engulfing theenvirons. The air was so thick with the stench of sulfur that it was impossible to breath. People,

trying desperately to escape their calamity, were either vaporized as they ran, or else they caughton fire from the intense heat and fell, burning to death. The acrid smell of burnt flesh coated

ones tongue as with a rancid grease. All of the surrounding vegetation was blackened to a crisp.Finally, there was nothing left but a stinking pool of sulfurous, molten, melted blackness, tens of

kilometres across. The utter devastation of Sodom and Gomorrah was total and complete.Behold the righteous Wrath of the LORD God! Could it happen today? Why would it happen?

I dont want your pity,but I thank you

Despite the accidentwhich left mea quadriplegic and more,

small consolationthat may be,

at least in some waysI am still fortunate.

If you only knew

how I yearnfor things to be

as they were,to be set free

as I once was.

But you cant hear me;you wont look at me;

you wonderif you should befriend me.

Equality has alwaysbeen a contentious issue

LeAnna, please forgive me

for expropriating your voice,particularly without even asking

for your permission.

Im not trying to excuse that behaviour:However, I, too, am disabled

Type I rapid-cycle bipolar disorder(an invisible disability)

to the point where I cannothold down a steady job

and I have alsooften experienced forms

of the discriminationdescribed.

That the disabled

are nearly always extremely pooris concrete, visible evidence

of that type of discrimination.

Ephesians 3:16-21 16: That he would grant according to the riches of his glory, to bestrengthened with might, by his Spirit in the inner man, 17: That Christ may dwell in your

hearts by faith, that ye being rooted and grounded in love, 18: May be able to comprehendwith all Saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height: 19: And to know the

love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.20: Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think,

according to the power that worketh within us, 21: Unto him be glory in the Church by ChristJesus, throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Lets review for a while the topic written about before the previous poem. Im singling out this

one example of the types of wickedness: Genesis 19:1-5 1: And there came two Angels toSodom in evening, and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them, rose up to meet them,

and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground. 2: And he said, Behold now, my


9/128

LORDS, turn in, I pray you, into your servants house, and rest all night, and wash your feet, andye shall rise up early and go on your ways. And they said, Nay: but we will abide in the street all

night. 3: And he pressed upon them greatly, and they turned in unto him, and entered into hishouse: and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat. 4: But

before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round,

all the people from every quarter. 5: And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where arethe men which came into thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. Letus suppose the two Angels were Michael and Gabriel, Gods Archangelsamong all the Angels

of Heaven, the highest of the high. Do you think they would be less than supremely offended atwhat these men demanded? Im not saying, Be careful who you hit on. (Although thats a

good idea.) Actually, it occurs to me that these evil men might have been possessed by thedevils called Legion. Mark 5:5-9 Jesus: 5: And always night and day, he was in the mountains,

and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. 6: But when he saw Jesus far off, hecame and worshipped him. 7: And cried with a loud voice, and said, what have I to do with

thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I abjure thee by God that thou torment me not.8: (For he said unto him, come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.) 9: And he asked him,

What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion, for we are many. Jesusdestroyed Legion. Please note: I am notrepeat, nottrying to imply that sexual orientation is

somehow related to demonic possession. Please take another look at Genesis 19:1-5. What wasabout to happen was nothing less than rape: the rape of Angels by devils. That the Archangels

immediate response was merely... Genesis 19:10-11 10: But the men put forth their hand, andpulled Lot into the house to them, and shut the door. 11: And they smote the men that were at

the door of the house, with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves tofind the door. ...showed their restraint. God is not mocked, however. Galatians 6:7 Be not

deceived, God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.; also,II Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the Angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and

delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment: Thus, Gods destruction

of Sodom and Gomorrah, Genesis 19:24-25 (please see above).

I would like to write for a while about the goodness of The Archangels Micheal and Gabriel.

Disclaimer: I am aware of Colossians 2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward, in avoluntary humility, and worshipping of Angels, intruding into those things which he has not

seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind:. My intent is certainly not to elicit the worship ofAngels. As the Angel which showed John the vision of Revelation said, Revelation 22:8-9

8: And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down, toworship before the feet of the Angel, which showed me these things. 9: Then saith he unto

me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the Prophets, and of them

which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. I only wish to dispel any mistakenimpression I may have given that Angels are agents of doom.

Michael and Gabriel: The Archangels Of God

A poem by Rolf Auer

April 5, 2012

Angels walk among us,

undetected.

As they are ambassadors ofthe good LORD God,

that can only beto do what is right,

according to Gods Will.

Consider Matthew 6:9-109: After this manner therefore pray ye: Our father

which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.10: Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, in earth,

as it is in heaven.

As God is love,so also His Will

must be love.Here, love refers to

ethereal love

which perfectsearthly love,so that His Will, as in Heaven,

is done on earth.

We have at leasttwo examples of prima facie evidence of Angels

dominant characteristic goodness.First, Gods Archangel Gabriel

was sent to earth by Himto announce the birth

of The CHRIST,the Messiah

the Saviour of all mankind.Second, Gods Archangel Michael,

ultimate soldier of The Lord God Jesus,will marshal Heavens armies

to fight Satan and his minionsin the coming final battle in Heaven, Armageddon,


11/128

where good decisively emergestriumphant over evil.

(If one looks carefully,one can see evidence

of earthly brushfire conflicts

between good and eviloccurring now on earth,the presence of Michael

is indicated bythe continual triumphal nature

of good over evil,in my opinion.)

A third famous example

is the announcementof the Resurrection of The LORD Jesus.

Luke 24:23 And when they found nothis body, they came, saying,

that they had also seena vision of Angels,

which said that he was alive.

Careful investigation ofThe Holy Bible

turns up numerousother examples of Angels

being agents of good,

serving God, who is love.

One doesnt owe love; one just loves. Fealty one can owe; love one doesnt. Love is

unconditional.

God: Do. Or, sometimes, Just do.

Jesus: Theres a difference between those who appearto be doing something and those whoare actually doing something. Never forget that.

What might one do? One can always pray, for a start. Why pray? Matthew 21:22 Jesus: And allthings whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Ten prayers follow. (I wasinformed by a reliable source that one of these, once a day, is sufficient.)

Matthew 6:9-13 [The Lords Prayer.] Jesus:

9: After this manner therefore pray ye: Our father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.10: Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, in earth, as it is in heaven.

11: Give us this day our daily bread.


12/128

12: And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.13: And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the

power, and the glory, for ever, Amen.Matthew 5:44 [The most important verse in The Bible.-Jesus and God.] Jesus:

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate

you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you:I Peter 5:14Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity: Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus.

Amen.II Corinthians 13:14

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the holy Ghost,be with you all. Amen.

I Thessalonians 5:28The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you, Amen.

I Timothie 1:17Now unto the king eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for

ever & ever. Amen.Hebrews 13:21

Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasingin his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

I Peter 5:10-1110: But the God of all grace who hath called us into his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that

ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.11: To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

I Peter 4:11If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God: if any man minister, let him do it as of

the ability which God giveth, that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to

whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.Ephesians 3:16-2116: That he would grant you according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might,

by his Spirit in the inner man,17: That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith, that ye being rooted and grounded in love,

18: May be able to comprehend with all Saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, andheight:

19: And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with allthe fullness of God.

20: Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think,according to the power that worketh within us,

21: Unto him be glory in the Church by Christ Jesus, throughout all ages, world without end.Amen.

What might one ask for? May I suggest help for others, more love, more patience, more

understanding, peace on earth, and so on; in other words, whatever is in keeping withI John 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that if we ask anything according to

his will, he heareth us. However, please note John 9:31 Jesus: Now we know that God hearethnot sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doth his will, him he heareth.

Jesus is God. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, & the Word was with God, and the

Word was God.; John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us (& we beheldhis glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father) full of grace and truth.;

I John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the holy

Ghost: and these three are one.; I John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, andhath given us an understanding that we may know him that is true: and we are in him that istrue, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

Jesus Saves. Hebrews 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified, through the offering of the

body of Jesus Christ once and for all.; Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouththe Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart, that God hath raised him from the dead, thou

shalt be saved.; I John 4:15-16 15: Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, Goddwelleth in him, and he in God. 16: And we have known and believed the love that God hath

to us. God is love, and he that dwelleth in love, dwelleth in God, and God in him.

Jesus and God love unconditionally, and want us to do the same. John 15:12 Jesus: This is myCommandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.; I John 4:7-8 7: Beloved, let us

love one another; for love is of God: and every one that loveth, is born of God and knowethGod. 8: He that loveth not, knoweth not God: for God is love.

Dont give up in trying to worship The LORD God.

From The NIV Life Application Study Bible, 2005, p.1544, footnote 7:7-8:

Jesus tells us to persist in pursuing God. People often give up after a few halfhearted effortsand conclude that God cannot be found. But knowing God takes faith, focus, and follow-

through, and Jesus assures us that we will be rewarded. Dont give up in your efforts to seekGod. Continue to ask him for more knowledge, patience, wisdom, love, and understanding. He

will give them to you.

Gods love is foreverybody.

From The NIV Life Application Study Bible, 2005, p.1565, footnote 15:23:...Be open to the beauty of Gods message forallpeople, and make an effort not to shut out

those who are different than you.

From The NIV Life Application Study Bible, 2005, p.868, footnote 41:13:

[This book of Psalms] teaches us much about Gods eternal love and care for us and how weshould trust him even in the day-to-day experiences of life.

Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called inone body: and be ye thankful.

Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew, nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither

male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.


14/128

Here are nine Christian virtues:

Galatians 5:22-23 22: But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness,goodness, faith, 23: Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Matthew 6:24 Jesus: No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one and love

the other, or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God andMammon.

Mammon is defined as wealth considered as a false object of worship.

It seems to me that one must beware of hating and despising, or else one might fall into the trap

of serving two masters. Checking The Bible,

Romans 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation: abhor that which is evil, cleave to that which

is good.

Abhor is the most diminutive form of dislike. Its sort of equivalent to mildly dislike.

Another definition is dislike that makes one shudder. It generally equates to avoid.

I Timothie 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil, which while some coveted after,they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

The foremost example of this that I can think of is the betrayal of Jesus by one of his disciples,

Judas Iscariot:

Matthew 26:14-1514: Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief Priests,

15: And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? and theycovenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

Its worth noting here that before he betrayed Jesus, Judas was possessed by Satan, at the feast

of Passover attended by Jesus and his disciples.

Luke 22:3-53: Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve,

4: And he went his way, and communed with the chief Priests and captains, how he might

betray him unto them.5: And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

As A Child, I Dreamt Of The Crucifixion

A confession by Rolf Auer

April 8, 2012; Easter

I was about seven or eight years old. One of my parents took a photo of me around that time

proudly wearing my favourite baseball cap to bed, intending to fall asleep with it on. I dontknow if it was a waking dream I had. I was at the outer edge of a kind of grassy, muddy field.

Off in the distance were crosses, altogether three, I think. I could barely see the man on thecentre cross, he was so far away. There was no blood on him evident from where I was. I could

tell by his position that he was in great pain. There was something on his headI couldnt makeit out. He wore a purple robe, I think. Did I ask to look at this? I cant rememberI might have.

Suddenly, my Mother appeared between the man on the cross and menearer to the cross.Filth! she yelled. I woke up, or came to, abruptly. It took me a long, long time to figure out

why my Mother shouted that particular expression. It was because Satan had planned andexecuted the Crucifixion. I dont know if other people did what I did, too, or how we appeared

to The CHRIST, The Messiah, The good LORD God Jesus. Were it happening to me, theirmawkish gawking maybe would have made me feel like I was in some kind of transdimensional

three-ring circus at the crossroads of time. In itself, the Crucifixion would have beenexcruciatingly unbearable, but to also have that type of dreamworld rubbernecking going on at

the same time, as if some kind of mind/time-traveling paparazzi were collecting material for acheap sensationalist expos, was nothing less than spiritual violation, I Corinthians 2:13 Which

things also we speak, not in the words which mans wisdom teacheth, but which the holy Ghostteacheth, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.; John 15:26 Jesus: But when the Comforter

is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth

from the Father, he shall testify of me. I should not have been viewing this. Children can becruel. At least they have the excuse of not knowing any better. Too often, adults can likewise beunmerciful. They, however, should know better. Schadenfreude?

The Resurrection Of Jesus

April 8, 2012; Easter

Three days after being crucified, Jesus, Son of God, was resurrected by His Heavenly Father,

The LORD God Jehovah. Two Angels (The Archangels Michael and Gabriel?) gave the joyful

news:

Luke 24:4-7,23 4: And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two

men stood by them in shining garments. 5: And as they were afraid, and bowed down theirfaces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? 6: He is not

here, but is risen: Remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, 7: Saying,The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third


16/128

12

day rise again. 23: And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had alsoseen a vision of Angels, which said that he was alive.

Jesus appeared before His disciples:

Luke 24:36-39, 46-47, 51-53 36: And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst ofthem, and sayeth unto them, Peace be unto you. 37: But they were terrified, and affrighted,and supposed that they had seen a spirit. 38: And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled, and

why do thoughts arise in your hearts? 39: Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I my self:handle me, and see, for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. 46: And said unto

them, Thus it is written, & thus it behooved Christ to suffer, & to rise from the dead the thirdday: 47: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his Name, among all

nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 51: And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he wasparted from them, and carried up into heaven. 52: And they worshipped him, and returned to

Jerusalem, with great joy: 53: And were continually in the Temple, praising and blessing God.Amen.

Jesussin freedied for us, taking all of our sins upon Himself, so that we might have

salvation, if we have faith in Him, which works by love.

I Peter 2:21-22 21: For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us,leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps. 22: Who did no sin, neither was guile

found in his mouth. Hebrews 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified, through the offeringof the body of Jesus Christ once for all. I John 2:1-2 1: My little children, these things write I

unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christthe righteous: 2: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the

sins of the whole world. Romans 5:1-2 1: Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace

with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2: By whom also we have access by faith, into thisgrace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Romans 10:9,13 9: That ifthou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart, that God hath

raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 13: For whosoever shall call upon the Name ofthe Lord, shall be saved. Galatians 5:6 For in Jesus Christ, neither circumcision availeth

anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith which worketh by love.

Galatians 5:22-2322: But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23: Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

I Timothie 6:11But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith,

love, patience, meekness.

Temperance, patience equate to self-control, self-denial.

these things, God will bring thee into judgment.

10: Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood &youth are vanity.

Matthew 16:24-26 Jesus:24: Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself,

and take up his cross, and follow me.25: For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake,

shall find it.26: For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or

what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Matthew 18:18 Jesus:Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven: and

whatsoever ye shall loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.

churchs decisions should be God-guided and based on the discernment of his Word. ...

Matthew 18:15-17 Jesus:15: Moreover, if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee

and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

16: But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of twoor three witnesses, every word may be established.17: And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the Church: But if he neglect to hear the

Church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man, and a Publican.

NIV Application Study Bible, 2005, p.1951Chart

Sometimes rebuke is necessary, but it must be used with caution. The purpose of any rebuke,confrontation, or discipline is to help people, not hurt them.

Luke 17:3

Take heed to your selves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him, and if he repent,forgive him.

We are meant to forgive each other, before rebuking each other. We are meant to love each

other, before forgiving each other.

Luke 4:18 Jesus:

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me, to preach the Gospel to thepoor, he hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and

recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

One of the first things Jesus did with His ministry was to teach in Galilee. (This took place justafter His temptation by the devil (please see above).) Jesus was always extremely conscious of

prioritizing his words, sayings, parableshe was extremely conscious of timing. As oneexample of this please consider:

Mark 12:28-31 Jesus:

28: And one of the Scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceivingthat he had answered them well, asked him which is the first commandment of all.

29: And Jesus answered him, The first of all commandments is, Hear, O Israel, the Lord ourGod is one Lord:

30: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with allthy mind, and with all thy strength: This is the first commandment.

31: And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy self: there is noneother commandment greater than these.

(Im not sure that the opening involvement of the Scribe is necessary; maybe Mark felt some

sort of cleansing of the reputation of the Scribes was in order.)

Note that Jesus first emphasized, Love the Lord thy God, and second, Thou shalt love thyneighbour as thy self. He did that on purpose, as in:

Ephesians 6:7With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men,

Im only pointing out that Jesus was very careful prioritizing his teachings. Now pleasereconsider Luke 4:18. Please note that the first idea mentioned was to look after the poor. This

theme occurs again and again, both in the Old Testament, and in the New Testament. Pleaseconsider:

Luke 14:12-15 Jesus:

12: Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or supper, call not thyfriends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours, lest they also bid thee

again, and a recompense be made thee.13: But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind,

14: And thou shall be blessed, for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shall be recompensedat the resurrection of the just.

15: And when one of them that sat at meat with him, heard these things, he said unto him,Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.


20/128

16

Please note Luke 14:13 (above). Metaphorically (and Jesus was fond of using these, i.e.,parables, for example), a feast might refer to relatively well-off economic well-being in the

world, such as is found in developed countries, particularly in the West. In other words, thetremendous rise there of economic inequality, wage stagnation, the disappearance of the middle

class, the inappropriate high taxation of the population while giving corporations a free ride,

along with other indications of class warfare, are antithetical to Jesus teachings. (The economicrape of the third world countries by the developed countries is yet another example of thisethically twisted thinking, also known as neoliberalismwhich is nothing more than hyper

capitalism, i.e., a stripped down version of capitalism stressing greed as its uppermost tenet.Carried out to its logical conclusion, corporatism and neofascism will be the ultimate result,

such that governments will primarily be subject to economic whimsy instead of the people forwhom they are working, and will culminate in totalitarianism, in some fashion or another; the

signs of this happening are already presente.g., rigged elections, faked economic crises (inorder to facilitate unwanted social program changes), globalization to the detriment and

destruction of the earths environment, ongoing and rising neglect of the most vulnerablesegments of countries populations (the poor, seniors, the disabled, to name a few),

contemptuous treatment of public monies, adequately illustrate how the seeds of this areincipienthow soon these will sprout and take a stranglehold is unclear, but if allowed to

continue, it will happen. Please remember: I Timothie 6:10 For the love of money is the root ofall evil, which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves

through with many sorrows. Harkening back to the title of this book, more love, please!)

Upon Yet Again Awakening

I wonder how I woke again,The good LORD must be watching me.

James 1:17

Every good gift, and every perfect gift is from above, & commeth down from the Father oflights, with whom there is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Our souls he does both refresh and renewour regaining consciousness is His gift to us.

As dew, which commeth as blessings from Heavencollects each morning as earthly evidence

of the intervention of the good LORD God:His wanting to save as many souls as possible for eternal life.

Matthew 18:14 Jesus:

Even so, it is not the will of your father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones shouldperish.

The most plentiful compound on earth is water

as if the physical manifestation of Heavens interventionhas collected on earth over eons:

evidence of divine intervention.

Matthew 5:6 Jesus:Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Those who thirst after perfect and pure love shall be quenched.

Revelation 22:1And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as Crystal, proceeding out of the throneof God, and of the Lamb.

A crystal clearas from The CHRISTriver of water,

a river of eternal life awaits those who keeptheir faith, who keep the words of God close

to their hearts, and souls, and minds, and strength.

I John 1:5,75: This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is

light, and in him is no darkness at all.7: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the

blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

Light enables us to see our reflections in mirrors.What are we looking at, as we are thus enabled

at the discretion of the good LORD God?


22/128

18

Is it our souls refracted from a different angleon this earthly plane of existence?

Light, passing through droplets of water in the air,

can also be refracted.

What exactly does its result, the rainbow, signify?Does it harken back to one of the earliestCovenants of the good LORD God?

Genesis 9:13-16 The Lord thy God:

13: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant, between me and theearth.

14: And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen inthe cloud.

15: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you, and every living creatureof all flesh: and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16: And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember theeverlasting covenant between God and every living creature, of all flesh that is upon the earth.

To keep the words of the good LORD God close:

John 8:47 Jesus:

He that is of God, heareth Gods words: ye therefore hear them not, because you are not ofGod.

John 14:23 Jesus:

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father

will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

Luke 11:28 Jesus:

But he said, Yea, rather blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

As the dew, one sign of Heaven, arrives everyday,

Matthew 6:10 Jesus:Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, in earth, as it is in heaven.

So might we thus celebrate this with our meals by saying grace:

John 6:51,54

51: I am the living bread, which came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shalllive for ever: and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, which I will give for the life of this

world.54: Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life, and I will raise him up at

the last day.


23/128

19

Remember,

John 3:16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son: that whosoever believeth in

him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.

I John 5:11And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

Therefore,

I Timothie 6:12

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hastprofessed a good profession before many witnesses.

Galatians 5:6

For in Jesus Christ, neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith whichworketh by love.

And,

Ephesians 4:23

And be renewed in the spirit of your mind:

And,

John 14:6 Jesus:

Jesus said unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man commeth unto the Fatherbut by me.

John 12:46 Jesus:I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me, should not abide in

darkness.

Love Starts As An Unseen Beauty

On a sunny day, white clouds making their way

across a light blue sky, to where?

An orchid about to receive

a needed shower of rain.

What is the first flower or blossom

you picture when you thinkof love?

Friendships dont automaticallybecome love, as seeds dont

necessarily germinate, sowhy does love develop?

Is it a kind of yearning for

fulfillment of discovery of identityto be found reflected in anothers

eyes and thoughts?

Does ones yearningheighten perception

thus intensifying realityso that its beauty is more apparent?

Do you love

when you firstpicture a flower or blossom?

What about a rain showerto an orchid in need of water?

Did the rain come from cloudscoming out of nowhere across a light blue sky?

What was that artwork

and who painted it?

Would you look at it again?

Perfect Love

A verse poem by Rolf Auer

April 11-12, 2012

I John 4:16-19

16: And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love, and he thatdwelleth in love, dwelleth in God, and God in him.

17: Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of Judgment,because as he is, so are we in this world.

18: There is no fear in love, butperfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment: he thatfeareth, is not made perfect in love.

19: We love him: because he first loved us.

Proverbs 10:12Hatred stirs up strifes: but love covereth all sins.

Romans 5:1-5

1: Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ.2: By whom also we have access by faith, into this grace wherein we stand, rejoice in hope of

the glory of God.3: And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also, knowing that tribulation worketh

patience:4: And patience, experience: and experience, hope:

5: And hope maketh not ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts, by the

holy Ghost, which is given unto us.

I Corinthians 12:3-4

3: Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the spirit of God, calleth Jesusaccursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the holy Ghost.

4: Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same spirit.

Ephesians 4:30And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day redemption.

John 14:26 Jesus:

But the Comforter, which is the holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shallteach you all things, & bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to you.

John 15:26 Jesus:

But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit oftruth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me.

Galatians 5:13-1413: For brethren, ye have been called unto liberty, only use not liberty for an occasion to the

flesh, but by love serve one another.14: For all the Law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy

self.

Ephesians 3:19And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the

fullness of God.

With Respect To Faith In Jesus and God



I Peter 1:3-53: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant

mercy, hath begotten us again unto a lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the

dead,4: To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heavenfor you,

5: Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in thelast time.

Romans 10:13

For whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord, shall be saved.

Romans 10:17

So then, faith commeth by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Galatians 5:5-6

5: For we through the spirit wait for the hope of righteousness through faith.6: For in Jesus Christ, neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faithwhich worketh by love.

Hebrews 11:6

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that commeth to God, must believe thathe is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

I Peter 5:9-11

9: Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished inyour brethren that are in the world.

10: But the God of all grace who hath called us into his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after thatye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

11: To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Romans 3:28Therefore we conclude, that a man is justified by faith, with the deeds of the Law.

Galatians 3:11

But that no man is justified by the Law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall liveby faith.

Romans 5:1-21: Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ.2: By whom also we have access by faith, into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope

of the glory of God.

John 12:44-5044: Jesus cried, and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent

me.45: And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.

46: I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me, should not abide indarkness.

47: And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not; For I came not to judgethe world, but to save the world.

48: He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word thatI have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

49: For I have not spoken of my self; the the Father which sent me, he gave me acommandment what I should say, and what I should speak.

50: And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, evenas the Father said unto me, so I speak.

A poem for God, my friend

By Rolf Auer

April 18, 2012

We know that God is love.We know that the Spirit of God

is in us until the last day.

I John 2:5But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected:

hereby know we that we are in him.

We who believe in Godbelieve that we dwell in God;

that is, that we dwell in love.

We who believe in Godare therefore friends of God.

The stars testify as to His existence.

The earth testifies as to His existence.Earthly love testifies as to His existence.

Pristine Nature avows His existence.

How life begins and grows avows to His existence.

That light is composed of coloursavows to His existence.

That I see in colours avows to His existence.Colours: what I like are

the gray criss-cross straws all aroundthe fields of rural greens and

the grounds of rustic browns.

God is everywhereand He is unfailingly with me

wherever I am.

I am but ashes and dustbut He will be with me

at the end forHe is my friend.

Matthew 5:7 Jesus:Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Matthew 5:3 Jesus:

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5:10 Jesus:Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake: for theirs is the kingdom of

heaven.

The above versesare three of the very first

statements byJesus in his Sermon

on the Mount.

These are very nearlyat the core of Christianity;

Christians are supposedto strive to have mercy,

they canif not in themselvesfind others who are poor in spirit

and help them; andthey can be persecuted

for righteousness sake:this last is spoken from

firsthand experience.

I am a Christian.I do the works

of Jesus.I try to save as many people

as possible for eternal life.

John 15:12-14 Jesus:12: This is my Commandment: that ye love one another, as I have loved you.

13: No greater love hath a man then this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.14: Ye are my friends, if you do whatsoever I command you.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man commeth unto the Fatherbut by me.

From theNIV Life Application Study Bible, 2005, p.1769, footnote 14:5,6

This is one of the most basic and important passages in Scripture. How can we know the wayto God? Only through Jesus. Jesus is the way because he is both God and man. By uniting our

lives with his, we are united with God. Trust Jesus to take you to the Father, and all the benefits

of being Gods child will be yours.

Isaiah 12:2

Behold, God is my salvation: I will trust, and not be afraid; for the LORD JEHOVAH is mystrength and my song, he is also become my salvation.

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hateyou, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you:

Ephesians 5:2And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us, an offering and a

sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour,

From theNIV Life Application Study Bible, 2005, p.1961, footnote 1:3-5Gods plan all along was to save us by Jesus death. We have been rescued from the power of

this present evil agea world ruled by Satan and full of cruelty, tragedy, temptation, anddeception. Being rescued from this evil age doesnt mean that awe are taken out of it, but that

we are no longer enslaved to it. You were saved to live for God. Does your life reflect yourgratitude for being rescued? Have you transferred your loyalty from this world to Christ?


For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake,shall find it.

From theNIV Life Application Study Bible, 2005, p.1568, footnote 16:25

... If we try to save our physical life from death, pain, or discomfort, we may risk losing ourtrue eternal life. If we protect ourselves from pain, we begin to die spiritually and emotionally.

Our lives turn inward, and we lose our intended purpose. When we give our lives in service toChrist, however, we discover the real purpose of living.

Romans 12:6-196: Having then gifts, differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let

us prophecy according to the proportion of faith.7: Or ministry, let us wait, on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching:

8: Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity: he thatruleth, with diligence: he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness.

9: Let love be without dissimulation: abhor that which is evil, cleave to that which is good.

10: Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love, in honour preferring oneanother.

11: Not slothful in business: fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.12: Rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing instant in prayer.

13: Distributing to the necessity of Saints; given to hospitality.

14: Bless them which persecute you, bless, and curse not.15: Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.16: Be of same mind towards another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low

estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.17: Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

18: If it be possible, as much as lyeth in you, live peaceably with all men.19: Dearly beloved, avenge not your selves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written,

Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord.

Jewish laws that favored the Jews and excluded the Gentiles. Christ died to abolish that wholesystem of Jewish laws. Then he took the two groups that had been opposed to each other andmade them parts of himself. [one new man] means that Christ made a single entity or person

out of the two. Thus he fused all believers together to become one in himself.

Ephesians 3:6That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in

Christ, by the Gospel:

From theNIV Life Application Study Bible, 2005, p.1980, footnote 3:5,6

Gods plan was hidden from previous generations, not because God wanted to keep somethinghidden from his people, but because he would reveal it to everyone in his perfect timing. Godplanned to have Jews and Gentiles comprise one body, the church. It was known in the Old

Testament that Gentiles would receive salvation. (Isaiah 49:6 And he said, It is a light thing thatthou should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I

will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou may be my salvation, unto the end of theearth.); but it was never revealed in the Old Testament that all Gentile and Jewish believers

would become equal in the body of Christ. Yet this equality was accomplished when Jesusdestroyed the dividing wall and created the [one new man].

Ephesians 2:18

For through him we both have an access by one Spirit unto the Father.

From theNIV Life Application Study Bible, 2005, p.1979, footnote 2:18... Both Jews and Gentiles are now free to come to God through Christ. ...

Romans 6:14

For sin shall not have dominion on over you, for ye are not under the Law, but under Grace.

Ephesians 2:4-84: But God who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5: Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are

saved)6: And hath raised us up together, and made us fit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:7: That in the ages to come, he might show the exceeding riches of his grace, in his kindness

towards us, through Christ Jesus.8: For by grace are ye saved, through faith, and that not of your selves: it is the gift of God:

John 1:1

Love And Friendship

April 21, 2012

John 15:12-14 Jesus:

12: This is my Commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.13: Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

14: Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

From theNIV Life Application Study Bible, 2005, p.1772, footnote 15:12,13,15

We are to love each other as Jesus loved us, and he loved us enough to give his life for us. Wemay not have to die for someone, but there are other ways to practice sacrificial love: listening,helping, encouraging, giving. Think of someone in particular who needs this kind of love today.

Give all the love you can, and then try to give a little more.

Because Jesus Christ is Lord and Master, he should call us servants; instead he calls us friends.How comforting and reassuring to be chosen as Christs friends. Because he is Lord and Master,

we owe him our unqualified obedience, but most of all, Jesus asks us to obey him because welove him.

John 13:14 Jesus:

If I then your Lord and Master have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one anothers feet.

Revelation 21:1-4

1: And I saw a new heaven, and a new earth: for the first heaven, and the first earth werepassed away, and there was no more sea.

2: And I John saw the holy City, new Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven,prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3: And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying, Behold, the Tabernacle of God is with men,and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them,

and be their God.

4: And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes: and there shall be no more death, neithershall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Speak in my heart, with truth, for you alone speak thus. I will leave them outside, blowing into

And was the holy Lamb of GodOn Englands pleasant pastures seen?

And did the countenance divineShine forth upon our clouded hills?

And was Jerusalem builded thereAmong those dark satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold!

Bring me my arrows of desire!Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!

Bring me my chariot of fire!I will not cease from mental fight,

Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,Till we have built Jerusalem

In Englands green and pleasant land.

Gods Will Is Love For Ever For All

A poem by Rolf Auer

May 4-5, 2012

We are oneof the few

species on this planetthat can see in colour.

That in itself

is proof of Gods lovefor us.

God is love

and He is above usand through us

and in us all.

Sightless fishwere found in pools

of water at the bottomof caves.

That they had no sightdidnt make them any

less able to swim

although they couldnt seewhere they were.

Even thoughwe have eyes

that see in colour,we cannot see

visible evidence ofGod, Who is love.

Sightless fish

swimming in Gods love,can we say absolutely

He is not there?


46/128

42

Isnt being aliveproof enough that He exists?

We cannot see

past our deaths does that meanthere is

nothing beyond?

God is love.Do you think

He created usmerely to live and merely to die?

Open your eyes,

open your heart:God wants us to live for ever.

By The Spirit Which He Hath Given Us

I John 3:20-24

22: And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandment, and dothings that are pleasing in his sight.

23: And this is his commandment, that we should believe on the Name of his Son Jesus Christ,and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

24: And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him: and hereby weknow that he abideth in us, by the spirit which he hath given us.

all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, he shall testify of me.

I Corinthians 2:12-14

12: Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God, that we might know the things that arefreely given to us of God.

13: Which things also we speak, not in the words which mans wisdom teacheth, but which the holy Ghost teacheth, comparing

spiritual things with spiritual.

14: But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know

them, because they are spiritually discerned.

I John 5:14

And this is the confidence we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us.

John 9:31 Jesus:

Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doth his will, him he heareth.

A poem by Rolf Auer

May 9, 2012

My fatherwas a good man.

He was a kind person.He loved his family dearly.

He liked to work with his hands.

He liked to build patios, gardens:

he loved the environment.

He liked to design

and build thingsas out of wood.

Though an extremely strong man,

he was a pacifist.

He always liked toplease forgive the usage of this word

spoil his children.On Christmas and Birthdays,

he was wonderfully generous.

He had a subtle,understated sense of humour.

He wouldnt permit the usageof a word unless it was in the dictionary.

I once used chintzy to describe something.Is that a word? he asked.

I looked it up. Sure enough, it was.As if to belabor the point,

the next opportunity he had

to use it, he did.I never used it again.

He was well versed in the classics.He had learned Latin and Greek

when he was in school.Im not sure who his favourite

philosopher was.It could have been Schopenhauer,

it could have been Nietzsche.

I remember one timehe tried to use reverse psychology

to entice me to readThe Critique Of Pure Reason

by Immanuel Kant.I wasnt having any part of it.

He gave me an appreciation

for etymologyby quoting from memory

Latin and Greek roots

of words.

He taught me how to read

at a very early age.He would regularly read

bedtime stories to us children,often translating them

from German to English.He also taught me how to write.

And, he drilled me onthe multiplication tables

until I had them down pat.

He worked himselfso much I often

wondered wherehe got all his energy.

One time, when he threw outhis back, I received a call
