More about Mary

I realize that what I am saying about Mary is in conflict with all you have been taught.  I am doing this not to upset you but to give you what the Bible teaches about Mary. I believe it is vitally important to get our beliefs from the Bible and nowhere else.  I want you to know these truths and most of all to know that only Jesus can make you acceptable to God. So let's look at the next point, the one of Mary's virginity.  This I believe wholeheartedly and would turn you to Luke chapter one to read about this.  But Mary's virginity is limited in time until some time after the birth of her firstborn son.  Take a look at (от Матфея) Matthew chapter 1 verses 19 -25 Here we find out Joseph's part in the story.  He was betrothed to Mary but they had not come together, that is they had not had sex.  Joseph is very upset to find she is pregnant but it is then that an angel explains to him that Mary is with child by the Holy Spirit and he is told to marry her.  In verses 24 and 25 Joseph marries her but they do not have sex until after her firstborn son is born. It says "until" not "never".  It says "firstborn son" not "only son".
I have several more Bible passages to confirm that Mary had other children but I do not want to load you down with too much to think about on one day. We do know that Mary was a very special young woman who trusted God even when it meant being despised by her neighbours.  I do not want you to think that I do not give her credit for being a true believer in God and having a faithful heart.

Denial Over Corona Virus

When something very nasty comes our way we can only take in some much of the horror of the situation and then our minds protect us by putting us into a state of denial.  It's all very well sitting cozy in the middle of a storm, but by doing that you can put others at risk.  It is tempting to think that the corona virus situation is not real and won't touch you and your family, to think that somehow the heads of state who appeared so lately to be at loggerheads are in fact manufacturing the whole thing for their own purposes.  Just see how the mind wants to divert us from the awful truth. Do you realize we could be on the point of the total collapse of civilization? That's why people panic buy because inside they realize food production and distribution could break down.  Of course the little store they have been able to stash away will not last long. Deny us our food and we turn into much nastier human beings, well no that's the way we always were but this brings out...

What has Lockdown taught us? Will we listen?

  It was time for me to stop chattering on, thinking I knew so much and could teach the World how to believe.  Just like everyone else I have had a time of thinking things through. Suddenly the world changed over night and we were left alone with our own thoughts.  What IS the meaning of life? What really matters to me? How important is family? How important are friends and those people who are more than acquaintances? Can I live without them?   I'm beginning to realize how isolated I had become.  Most of my meals were alone, that is before Covid. We crazily live our lives in isolation and find that this means throwing away so much good food because you can't eat a whole cauliflower on your own before it's too far gone.  A tin of baked beans is too much for one and you don't fancy sardines on toast two days running. Life is built around being together, even if it's only two of you.  You don't have to live in the same house, you can share with a neighbo...

The Cull

The gamekeeper looked over the moorland with a keen eye at the herd of deer grazing happily.   Of course he was not their owner, he had gone on a long journey, but he had been gone so long that the gamekeeper, whose name was Godred   Selfishman, had for some time come to see himself as the owner of the deer and as the best person to fashion the herd according to his own desire. He had forgotten that the owner had a special affinity with each individual deer.   He knew them all by name and they would come to him when he called. They were precious each one and woe betide anyone who would hurt any of his deer. Once Godred had known all this but over the years he had forgotten. He looked at the herd in the valley eating grass and flicking their ears.   They were content, unsuspecting. He had told the neighbouring farmers, “There are too many deer; they are eating your crops.” Unlike most farmers these did not think for themselves, they did not remember that the...
