It is most important to remember that ALL PEOPLE are Gods offspring. (Acts 17:23-31) The Prophet saw that clearly as did his left hand man/sidekick/dupe (at least for a brief moment.)


Surely the Word of God admits of no monopoly, surely it can be written on the fleshy tablets of our heart, or indeed as the Psalmist said it "has gone out into all the world."..........there is no where it is not, it is far more than little blobs of ink, indeed by it creation rose, for it was "in the beginning,"

So not only are all, but so are all people God's offspring, but so are all spiritual writings God's word.. Gods word has value only to the extent it ddoes not make itself an end in itself. God abhorrs idolatry, and man has so made God's word a graven image of ink. Such words bring death not life. A true Prophet sees the living word, while the blind see the dead letter. A true Prophet knows there is only One Power in this Universe, One Being, One Substance.

Sometimes a prophet has to follow his own truth, even if it at times it seems contary to Scripture. There is nobody here brought up as such a dyed in the wool fundamenatlist christian I believe, than I was. I carried a Bible around at School preached on Street Corners from the age of 12. I was a real ranter and raver.:b_hot.gif

Just as truth appears folly to man's reason, so does man's reason appear folly before the truth. Truth ultimately puts all the reasonings of man to shame. Never can one single thought of man bring freedom or truth only bondage and dogma.Not until the thinker comes to an end, can freedom or Truth reign.

How wise to discover this the death of time before one's time of death.
