[ I’m afraid of rationalizing myself into insanity (or out of insanity, whichever the case may be) ]

Really.. interesting attitude..
On the otherhand; what do you know for sure?,
and how sure are you that you know it?...

For, science fiction Must be very logical.... but..
Reality need not be logical at all.. you know... to a human brain..

I Cor 2;9 has a secret and wonderful meme and promise..
I'd tell you what it is but then I 'd be stealing the surprise..

[[On the otherhand; what do you know for sure?,]]

Had a spell way back when when I was into drugs where I didn’t know (Before then, Id gotten Saved, got real sick, came very close to dying [NDE- high fever- peritinitis- convulsions], and when on drugs, thought I’d actually died and this ‘life’ was actually that I’d slipped into hell, and I was just deluding myself into thinking I was still alive- long ugly story)

[[and how sure are you that you know it?...]]

I’ve been saved at a fairly young age- have doubted my sincerity, reconfirmed, but do still really struggle- the Evil One really knows how to sift, and just where to hit- and God’s silence in the whole matter really compounds the whole issue too (God has been silent for many many years now, and life is throwing me some real curve balls health-wise- Salt i nthe wound and all that) How sure? Beleive me, I don’t know- I measn, I know at young age I was a sinner in need of Christ’s forgiveness, and asked Him for Salvation- but through hte years, things like McCarther’s ‘total surrender salvation’ theology really caused me to doubt, and God’s silence is very concenring to me (as is the fact that I seem to lack the compassion and understadning for others that other Christians have- My temper doesn’t seem to be a reflection of Christ, which just makes me doubt more at times)

[[Reality need not be logical at all.. you know... to a human brain..]]

Oh beleive me, I know this all too well- That’s why I don’t contemplate soem deeper things that challenge what we know to be real, too indepth- like tryign to conceptualize eternity, parallell universes, etc- when logic is challenged, the result is illogic- When illogic becoems the new logic, we might as well hang it up. There’s a fien line between sanity and insanity

[[1Co 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.]]

This is what keeps me going- acceptign that hte glass through which we now look is dark, and knowing that one day it won’t be

From the show Millenium:

God doesn’t move us by telling us all the facts- God rather moves us along by pains and contradictions- He doesn’t give us all the answers, but rather a lack of understanding, that we may marvel
