Ok, for me it started like this:
Once, as I was on tour with my band, a girl from my past has called the other guitarplayer to try to reach me, she did we met and so…
I found myself on the countryside married with a pastors daghter, her mom was a pastorsdaughter aswell, no end to it.
At first I was a bit forgivingly to my wife bout her belives. (I'm not shure I put that right,I hope you understand?)
Naturally there was much christian information both to read, hear and watch around the house.
After sometime I was a bit pissed of with a creationist from fla. He was kind of arogant and folish I thought.
So, I spent quiet some time tryin to prove him wrong…
After two years I gave up. It didn't matter how much I disliked him. I couldn't prove him wrong.
During this two years I'd been reading the Bible alot cause he referd to the scriptures all the time.
There are several scientific statements in there that is absolutely correct
the earth is round, Thermodynamics, and so on.
Most of all there is no scientific statement in the Bible thats incorrect!!
By that I mean scientific statement. The wonders thats described you must use your own free will to accept or not.
In the kooran and other religios scripts there are lots of inaccurate statements
like where the sun sets.
filosofical maybe but thats not my cup of tea. I like facts.
Both in the old testament and in the gospels there are tons of historical facts that
is proven to be accurate by sience bit by bit.
Archeologists do find more and more of the citys and places described in the bible.
Do you know that the bible consists of 66 different books written down by 44 authors in a timespan of 2000years and still they all relate to eachother in ways thats are unbelivable.
Its just as hard to create these books seperatly over this timespan with so many writers in so many places that interact so precisly as it is to create the dna,rna system.
So whats your guess? chans?
I chose God. Thats easy for me to say, cause I have experienced this through.
I am baptised, I belive in Jesus christ, I'm saved, I know my God and I also know my enemy. I know what the world is coming to. Our time is described and prophesised in the bible. I will be here as long as God wants me to, I lay my life in his hands.
It was exciting this thing, living in two worlds, Playin in the band, going to different churches and meetings with my wife, who is a nightclubsinger. She was soon to join the band and I was soon to join God, I just didn't know it.
As I kept on traveling with the band I spent alot of time with my wife meeting all kinds of christian people in all kinds of places all over the country.
I've met a woman whos been healed from lungcancer. I've heard about her before, not knowing who she was, I was amazed. She actually didn't have a clue.
One of her daughters drove away with her to a christian meeting where they prayed for her.It was a desperate action from her daughter who was sure her mother would die. The next day she went to the hospital for surgery. They did the preop x-rays of her lungs and all cancer was gone… not even a scar to find.
Seven different doctors looked at the plates,comparing them to the earlier plates, totaly confused.
I asked her if she realised at all how big this is, and she said , laughing
- yeah its big! I even stopped smoking! I'm not swearing either.
I asked her about her belifes and she said: -well, I guess I belive in God and I belive in Jesus but I don't know much of this cause I don't go to church.
Another time we were at a train station and one of our christian friends asked a girl
on a bench where she was sittin with some friends of hers, if she was in pain.
The girl said yes, -I nearly always have headache cause I've got legs of different length and that makes tention to my back and neck.
Ok, said the woman -may I pray for you? Yes says the girl.
-Ok, I pray that the father our god and creator heal you from this pain…
While she was praying we were about ten people in a trainstation, the girls three friends, the four of us and three or four bypassers stopping to watch, looking at this girls leg groving in front of our eyes.
The girl was crazy happy afterwards, runnin round the bench. Her friends was kind of in a schock. It all happened so fast. I wasn't ready myself, I guess.
Well, facts. I do not know what you would be able take in
Ever thought about the flood? Do you see the evidence in nature for this worldwide catastrophy? Do you know about clams? Do you know that when they die they open up. Do you know there are thousands of clams in closed position on our highest mountains?
Do you know about fossils? Do you know that there would not be any fossils if there have not been for a worldwide catastrophy like the flood of Noah.
Do you know there are more than 280 floodlegends around the world that matches
the story of Noah
Do you know about the layers that evelutionists claims represent different ages millions of years from eachother? Do you know there are petrified trees goin through all these layers? The trees are going through the layers in total disorder
somtimes upsidedown.
As a musician my economy always been a rollercoaster, as I started to give away
money and things in the name of God, I all the time was blessed with more.
Every month I didn't give, I was struck poor, the car brook down, or something.
Every month I gave, my money, gas and food always was there for me.
Why do I say this? cause in the bible it says: Try me, fill my warehouse and
yours will be blessed,
I did, the bible was right
So now you think, so thats what its about, squeesin money to the church.
No, not just for churches or congregations, I've givin most to people who have not asked for it, not always money. It can be a guitar or a bible or a car or your time to sombody who needs it.
Do you know sometimes I loose something and I search for hours until I finnaly
pray to God to find it, and then, I always do!
When should I ever learn to sit down and pray first?
As I wrote before this Trasher, give me a question instead, otherwise it will turn out like this
Remember, by human thoughts, they who wrote the books that today is part of the bible never thought or knew that what they wrote would connect with other books to be called the Bible.
Although they all work toghether as a whole.
And if someone tells you they contradict, they better read more carfully.
Oops, its four in the morning here I'm going to see my daughter three hours drive from here so I'm done here.
