God is an unchanging god

 So there's this idea that  God never changes right?

but if we read the Bible, multiple times people have been able to 'change' God's mind when they pleaded with Him. Think of Moses, Abraham and many other old testament prophets.

God was like, "I'm not gonna let the Isrealites into the promise land because they keep complaning and don't trust me, even after all I've brought them through" 

and Moses: "aww common, You did so much for us already! what would people say if you left us to die? They'll say You weren't powerful enough to defeat the Amalakites and deliver on Your promise. That'll make You look bad aye?"

God: "Yeah okay you know what, only the kids get to go into the land, and the two guys that saw what was good instead of the bad..."

If God was an all knowing god, already knowing what's going to happen in the future (predestined),

why does He still want to create anything in the first place? especially if it's gonna turn on Him or hurt Him? i.e Adam and Eve was gonna disobey Him, why put the tree of knowledge and give them a command that they could disobey? Humanity was going to sin, He would have to sacrifice His Son Jesus to save us, why make humans at all?

See, I think certain aspects of God is unchanging. His reason for doing things. His promises, His character, His personality. Those things don't change.  

but humans.. humans do change

see, slavery used to be bad aye?

blacks used to be lower class that whites...

actually almost everything in the past repeats a cycle over and over again.

from good, to bad to good again

and then bad

will God accept homosexuals? hmm well in the bible He did smite Sodom and Gomorrah, but was it because of their deviant behaviours? or was it because they were just wicked

God is love right? what is the most loving thing to do?

what would love do?

Progressive Christianity accepts gays and lesbians into their church

well, some churches still dont accept electric guitars and drums

hmm, its really really hard to put a finger on whom is right and whom is wrong

but i think its not so much about saying that the other is bad or not acceptable or not

gee...

how do we all live peacefully

hedgehog's dilemma

 heh the post on upgrading to win10 was actually my 1000th post.

what a way for it to have taken the spot eh...

to think that it would have been something mind blowing or substantial to be written out for such an 'iconic' post number. i guess not everything is glitters

today is 23rd August, Crystal's brithday btw, i didn't plan anything much.

we wanted to go to rainbows end, but i guess that cant happen now with the lockdowns

sigh NZ went back into lockdowns, COvid manage to sneak in from australia

watcching Neon Genesis Evangelion EP4

Shinji reminds me so much of myself.... "doing something" just for the thought of others.

so that other's wont need to 'suffer' or hurt themselves,

i'll be the one to sacrifice myself for the 'greater good'

heh, this messiah complex,

i wonder why i've still no gotten over it

he just.. ran away

just resigned

just... went on with being his own self

do the things that he wanted to do,

not because other people wanted it of him

the Hedgehog's Dilemma

he speaks out like that (in a un nice way)

because he doesn't know how else to express himself

finally upgraded to windows 10

     So it's about time eh

finally made the jump from windows 7 to windows 10

why?

because windows 7 couldn't run blizzards Diablo 2 

and i wanted to play with Wythe

but even after installing it,

i can't play it because the graphics of this Acer Aspire v3-471G laptop is only a Geforce GT 630M 2GB

talk about ancient tech eh. i still love this laptop so much

owh well

life is quite good without being able to play games anyway. haha

self knowledge

 i dont really know myself nowadays

i wish i did.

i think my life is being too fragmented by all the things that are going on in the world.

do i really need to know?

do i really need to care?

God's wisdom

All wisdom is God's, 

Whether written in His Word or not.

 "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters"​ - Colossians 3:23

I like to ask questions if I'm unsure of something. I believe that consistent communication is vital to prevent simple misunderstandings which may lead to bigger consequences. Hence, we should avoid assumptions as much as possible by getting as clear a picture obtainable. More important than money, interest and desire to learn are the main components of taking up a task. However if the need arises, servant hood is chosen above leadership.

podcast n thoughts

Podcast

Are good

Makes me think

Wish i had time to pause and 

Wrote down thoughts to look back at later

habits

Habits and loops,

Ques, Rutines and Rewards

The small little wins, 

The freed mental space. 

Discipline and will power, 

Mental conditions and states of mind,

The brain physically changes, 

Biology is based on chemistry. 

Dopamine, cortisol and hormones, 

Feelings of euphoria in rewards, 

Cravings.... 

Get into a safe environment, 

Have people around.

Not in a room by yourself, 

With the door held open with a stopper

loss of contentment

You dont need to know everything

lost and found

Monday morning so foggy,

Tuesday wind blew strong, 

Lost my redmi casing, 

Found on a Wednesday morning.
