There is way that seems Right to Man, "But"......!!!

 Bloggers, in the Book of Proverbs the great Preacher King Solomon said through the inspiration of God Almighty, "There is a way that seems right to a man, but the way thereof is Death." And I continue to argue politely that this biblical claim is a statement of fact and continues to be very applicable today because this saying is based on facts. King Solomon saw the same thing you and I are seeing play out in real life every day and we cannot deny that all people are misguided at some point in a person's life, either intentionally or by some other factors of life. Therefore, I continue to ask the concerned people, doesn't it appear that all of humanity is a walking contradiction here on earth? And I still say that from the time of our birth as a human being, we are a messed up human being... regardless of whether a baby is born handsome or intelligent or not. Give that baby time and it will prove the fact that all humans are dynamically dysfunctional at all levels of behavioral growth, and even at physical levels as well. This type of observable truth about personal, mental, or physical growth does not require Ph.D.'s in Science or Psychologies' to clearly see our capacity towards being selfish and narcissistic and manipulative, and therefore sinners. Heck, as a kid I knew that this world and all the people in it were screwed up royally. As I got older; and after having done so much evil and wrong personally myself, I realized that what I was reading in the Bible proved that my observations had been right all along. And not only did it prove that I was a sinner from the day that I was born, but that I had no remedy to fix myself up through any other means outside the direct help of Christ Jesus. And even after having accepted Jesus into my life and repented of my sins, was not enough to enjoy the benefits of serving Him. Because keep in mind that I had too many personal opinions about how I could perceive God's Bible and what the words in it meant. I gave my own definitions to what I believed that God meant with each of His Commandments. And I also based my knowledge of the Bible on many theologians and Preachers from so many denominations, and I felt comfortable with that knowledge. And so, I believed that what I was doing in living out my Christian life every day was right. I believed that God had given me so much freedom to live out my consecrated life any which way that I wanted without any divinely negative consequences for it. For example, I was once told by Christian friends that "The Marriage Bed is Undefiled" and therefore, as Christian married couples, the sex that we practiced in the privacy of our own home was without limits especially since the marriage bed had been sanctified by God Himself. Well, I found out that that Statute or Law, doesn't give the married couple the Right to enjoy Kinky perverted sex or prohibited unbridled sex acts. But if one believes one's own opinions and views about how they view God and His Commandment, go ahead and knock yourself out and do what you think is right in your own eyes. However, the moral law breaker will soon find out that whoever is married and practices sexual abominations, even in their own private bedroom, will be sorry for taking such actions. And that is the worst part about sin, because it will haunt your psyche forever, and for us to have to be living like that is a sad state of affairs. Sin always scars your conscience and vexes it as it reminds us of our failings and frailties. That is why so many of us live with so many regrets. We are weak and at times fools for believing our own faulty opinions and opinions of others. I understand how it is so easy to deceive ourselves, and to be deceived by what appears to be Light. What I stress to readers is beware of just any light because that is the deceiver's m.o. For example, I watch Preachers today also, and what do I see, Liars masquerading in speaking the sound Biblical Truth to people, but their actions (Fruits) speak louder than words to the contrary. They stand behind the pulpit dressed in Black and preach into a congregation pitched in the dark chapel and play worthless ungodly music that is no different than the Heavy Metalist or Punk Rockers love and play. How is that Glorifying God? When I study my own self here now days even at 75 years old, I wonder, Am I right with God myself right now? Am I going to make it to Heaven? Why do you ask yourself that Ruben? Because I am still a sinner. I am not out knowingly or willingly seeking to sin, but how am I any better than these lost people out there who are walking blind believing that they are on the right path because that is what they were told and believe. I have shared dream stories to you readers that are supernaturally powerful and that speak to all the issues and questions that are relatable to this fact that we are all dynamically dysfunctional to the core and to the roots of our being. And therefore, we need daily Bible reading and prayer and seeking God to guide us and strengthen our resolve to serve Him faithfully because we are a frail weak species of sinners. I remember a very close Black friend of mine from San Marcos whose name was Percy Reed. And Percy never failed to stop and visit with me on every Thanksgiving and Christmas. We grew up in school together and in the neighborhood too. Well, a couple of years before he died circa 2008, he came over for Christmas and he was shocked to see the way my house was now decorated. And since he knew that I was a Christian then, he asked me, "Ruben, have you completely gone Indian?" And I said, "Yes Percy, I have, but I am still a Christian." Then he says to me because we are best friends, "Ruben, are you sure you want to go that way!?" At the time I didn't answer him because I knew what he meant by that question. Percy was living in San Antonio for many years, but we stayed in touch because we had been through many of the same Institutions in our lifetime and suffered much of the same sufferings of life. So, in closing let me remind the reader once again that only those God Seals with His Mark of Salvation will make it to Heaven. Who makes it to heaven is not determined by us the sinners or what we think or believe about our goodness or righteousness, or who we know or serve. Therefore, seek sound great solid God-fearing Teachers of His Word and test everything with the scriptures and by God the Holy spirit before you buy what anyone says about God and Salvation. Let me close with retelling this dream again for more clarity to the importance of being guided by the right Spirit or Holy Angels. Here is the short dream. As the dream opens, I see that I am walking in some wooded area from the South and I am heading home towards the North in the direction of San Marcos, Texas. It is a sunny beautiful late morning day and there is no one out there as far as I can see at all. Then as I come close to what seems an incline of a hill in front of me, I see a pretty good size river running east and west in front of me. Note: Please notice the Symbols here. The waters of the river are crystal clear blue waters, and its depth is about 10 feet deep and about thirty feet wide. At first glance I want to just swim across but since in many other dreams of swimming in strange rivers result with me having to fight devil monsters in them, I hesitate and just stare undecided for a few moments. Then suddenly out of nowhere to my left, a White middle-aged man walks out of the woods and asked me, " Ruben, where are you heading?" And I look at him startled for several reasons, and one is... how does he know my name. Then I answer him and say, "Home." Then he bends down to the ground and picks up a dead dried stick about two feet long and straightens upright again and tells me to watch him. Then he throws the stick as hard as he can over the river and the stick lands at the base of the hill on the North side of the river. Then a few seconds passed as I watched the stick on the other side land and settled there, and then the earth began to shake and tremble hard and then as I looked at the hill before me, I saw rocks and dirt and debris begin to roll off the top of the hill. Then as I kept looking, I saw the head and face of a sleeping giant angry Dragon staring at me as its head and long neck rose higher and higher exposing its huge tan body that was once the hill. And it was angry that it had been disturbed from its sleep. Then the White man asked me, "Ruben, are you sure you want to go that Way!?" Again, King Solomon said, "There is a way that seems right to man..., But? Yes! There is always a big but on the road! So Let Us Sleep On That for now until next time. Thanks again and do not think that I am oblivious to our current World Events. Study for yourselves what is True and what is not; or what is Good and what is not. Take care.                                      Respectfully,                                                                                                                                               Ruben N.
