My pastor gave me a new thing to look at in the Bible. We're looking at, um, John, the book of Joshua, chapter one, verse one to nine. So I'm going to read this. I'm going to edit this out. God's with me all the way. What does it mean to prosper? I mean, I'm a very fortunate person. Very, very fortunate. So fortunate, it's hard. See, I prospered, and God's with me throughout. How does it sit with me? In God we prosper. In God we prosper with courage. Courage to do what? To be convicted in our faith, and confronted with a finite nature of this blip. God prospers through our courage, our courage to face the law. And when he face the law of the land.</span></div></div>                </div>            </div>        </div></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[John 4:15-17 (Sober) 3min 11sec]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/john-415-17-sober-3min-11sec]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/john-415-17-sober-3min-11sec#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Tue, 26 Nov 2024 13:50:11 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/john-415-17-sober-3min-11sec</guid><description><![CDATA[ 					 						 						 						 						 							#wsite-video-container-842971237100197680{ 								background: url(//www.weebly.com/uploads/b/109078421-694187140120234504/john_4_13-15_smaller_-_sd_480p_522.jpg);

Um, I want to shout out to my pastor. Thank you for taking the time to watch my video. He sent me a follow-up passage to read. This is the response of Jesus. So the previous video was trying to predict what was the outcome of this exchange. So now we're gonna find out what he said. So John 4, 13 to 15.&nbsp; Jesus answered and said unto her, who, whoever, whoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again. Okay, from a material point of view, we constantly get thirsty. From the material point of view, So it's like, okay, but if whoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him, shall never thirst. But the water that I shall give him shall be in him. A well of water springing up into everlasting life. The water saved unto him, sir, give me this water that I may, that I thirst not, neither come hither to drug. So less in disguise, but it clicked with the lady. Because she, she realizes it's not about the water, right? Because you're going to thirst for this water again, right? The water Jesus is talking about, the water I give you, you'll never thirst again. There's no mention of the implements, the instrument to draw from the wealth. Let's call that technology. The technology and the well is technology. The house, the water that makes you thirsty again, to retrieve the water that makes you thirsty again, is, is the bucket or the ladle that we can reach down into the world. The material means to thirst. It's like my saying, innovation is the escape from the piece of familiarity. What's familiar here? The water that Jesus gives, you'll never thirst again. It's a perspective that gets lost when we use technology to satisfy a material thirst, a material thirst. Jesus talking about an ethereal, an ethereal thirst, an ethereal thirst. You want for nothing? The water, the thirst is gone. Therefore, water is irrelevant. Right? The thing on the material that is required for life to thrive is not necessary. Right? And all the technology in the world, where it's like, it's but innovate, innovate, evate, escape the familiar, escape the familiar. Well, what's familiar to Jesus is ethereal thirst that Jesus offers, we ignore the material, the reality of the material, satisfaction, doesn't last. The satisfaction doesn't last. Our body requires water to live out judgement. within the blip. So all I got.</span></div></div>                </div>            </div>        </div></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[John 4:7-12 (Sober)]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/john47-12]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/john47-12#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Fri, 22 Nov 2024 16:55:39 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/john47-12</guid><description><![CDATA[ 					 						 						 						 						 							#wsite-video-container-258673901492757884{ 								background: url(//www.weebly.com/uploads/b/109078421-694187140120234504/john_4__7_12_260.jpg);

Slight format change. I'm no longer getting high. I have kicked. I am sober now. I realized that uh, The point of reading the Bible isn't just to have these cockamie, outlandish, metaphysical assumptions for entertainment. Yeah, that makes great content. But this is just a blip, right? This is just a material blip. I don't want to be judged by bastardizing the Bible. I wanna take it. Uh, understand it for what it is. Okay? Because I want to go to heaven. Okay? I'm Christian, I'm an Orthodox Christian, but a Christian nonetheless. I want to go to heaven. So this is this explains the material, right? This is from God, defines the material, how we, how we graduate from the blip into heaven. Or hell, depending where you what you want to do for your life. Or after life. So I asked my pastor, says, please, um, give me a verse, give me something to read from the Bible, and I'm gonna interpret it as best I can, but not like I used to, moving forward from this onward. And I'll put a little, I'll put a little disclaimer underneath this video saying that from this point forward, sober, sober, sober, but I might have unique takes that I think, Mike Merritt, entertainment values. Let's find out. So, John 4, verse 7 to 12. Okay, John 4, 7. 12, 12, Okay. There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said, Seth, safe unto her, give me to drink. For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat. Then Saith, the woman, a Samaria, unto him. How is it that thou, being a Jew, asks drink of meat? Which am a woman of Samaria? For the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knowest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, give me to drink, thou wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given the living water. The woman saith unto him, sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep, from whence then hast thou, that living water, art thou greater than our father, Jacob, which gave us the will, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle. Okay. Let's start from verse by verse. I've read that through. There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saved unto her, give me to drink. So Jesus asking, give me a drink of water. Okay? That's what it's saying, right? Jesus. He's saying, baby, give me some water. For his disciples were gone unto the city to buy meat. Now, it's interesting. Why wouldn't Jesus just get the water himself, right? Is he... Maybe he makes, he has to make every living moment of his existence a lesson. Uh, a preaching, an evangelism, Like he can't help but everything he does is, is, um, delivering the word of God, because it's in the Bible. Okay? Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, how is it that thou, being a Jew, asketh drink of me? Which am a woman of Samaria, for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. So she said, amen. You're a Jew. Right? I'm a Samaritan. We're better than you. Congratulations. The ones that are left. So here, the lessons start in the form. I assume Jesus knew he was going to get this reaction. So it's not about the water. Right? He could be parched. He could not be parched. It's about being tactful, right? You know how this is gonna unfurl. Right? But dealing with the finite blip, dealing with the finite blip, uh, Jesus interacts with the fallible, right? Because this case, this woman, uh, where is it? Samaritan, the cement, from Samaria. So, who are you? Ask me to draw what? Draw it yourself. Right? Thinking that it's just, it's about thirst, right? Maybe it's not about the physical thirst, maybe it's thirst for something deeper and more profound. Uh, and the as she... She's not, uh, she's not um, shy about her feelings towards Jews. Okay? Jesus answered and said unto her, if thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. So it's not about the water, right? He's asking, if you know who you're asking, If you know who's asking you, right? Give me to drink, thou wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. Right? So water that, We require water to live. But if by common living water, I feel like it's like we're a vessel, right? The water, It's like the spirit fills the vessel. Right? Well, if replenishes the material blip, you know, the meat that's packing our bones, it's, it's, I think it's, I think it's meant, as a lesson to say that, by drinking the water, you're feeling your soul with, with the divine. Right? That's what this is about. This is not, and the fact that you would give it to a lesser person, right? A Jew. Corinthus woman is a lesser person, the audacity of asking her to keep a Jew water, right? And not even think beyond that, the lesson that Jesus is trying to highlight here. So, what? The woman saith unto him, sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep, from whence, then, how, hast, had thou that living water? So she's asking, okay, well, you don't have anything to reach the well. It's too deep. Right? You don't have anything, so how am I supposed to do it, right? You're asking me to do it. What do you want me to do? Crawl down into the well? You know? suck it up into my mouth and spit it, you know, spit it into a cup or something. then what do you what are you asking of me? You don't have the means to get the water. Why are you asking me? Right? Okay, so art, thou greater, art thou greater than our father, Jacob? Which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle. So he's saying, look, my father Jacob, Built the well, he gets his own water, right? He has the means to do it. Why are you asking me? And again, she's misinput. The well is material. The well is material, the water, the water is material. Right? Water can't feed a soul, right? You can't, that's that's uh, you're crossing the divide from the material into, into the... What we can only assume is there without faith. Right? So it's like asking, look, my father built this well. And uh, you know, what time are you there? Built this well, and uh, fetches the water himself. Right? And, uh, my pastor didn't let, uh, he stopped it short there and I'm going to try and keep it within that frame. So it's kind of like, If I were to vision this going further, right? My pastor is saying, look, now it's your point to understand that this is designed for you. Right? And I think there would just be a long pause, right? So that's the end of the verse. That the end of that little, That little framing there. So I'm left to contemplate. You're asking me something that's essentially, Uh, the go out of my way to do something that's essentially impossible, right? You don't have the means to do it. It's because she prioritizes the material blip, right? She prioritized the material. She prioritizes uh, the physical means, right? That Jesus is portraying that he's incapable. He's asking, Of the woman, draw, draw from the well, draw from the well, the living water. Can you draw from a material well for living water? Living water, I would say, is the soul. The Holy Spirit. No. You cannot, right? You don't have the means. Right? When you prioritize the material, when you have material thinking, where it's like, well, I don't have the means, but, you know, I, If I did have the means, I could draw the water, but you're a Jew. Why would I do that? Right? So what's doing is this, this, this, this, this material diarrhoea, right? She's vomiting. Right? The long pause is meant to come to saying, okay, hold on. Jesus is not thirsty. Jesus is not thirsty, right? Because if he's asking, he's not asking me to do something. Impossible here. What does the water mean? What does living water mean? I say it's the Holy Spirit. Right? So you can't draw out the Holy Spirit from the material. From the material well. Because, uh, you'll fall in, and you'll succumb to material, which is death, which is inevitable. Right? All you could do is perhaps drink, just drink the well dry, which means you die because you can't leave the well, but you won't drown. Right? You're not gonna drown the death, but you're gonna starve the death eventually. Uh, or die of parchment eventually. So I think that's what if I was if I was that woman, right? This is what I would process. This is what I would process, right? Because if I, I, I, Because of psychosis, I sort of, I sort of live beyond the material. Uh, documenting the metaphysical assumption. that paints outside the material with the perspective that swallows the earth, that swallows the material, Okay, and I'm trying to make that tangible through the lens of the Bible, okay? That's what I'm trying to do here. So that's my interpretation. It's completely sober. I hope you enjoy it. Hope it makes sense. I'm gonna send this to my pastor and I'm gonna get some feedback from, hopefully. If you have feedback, comment down below, okay? It's very simple. Uh, just some gentle outreach. I would appreciate it and we can have a discussion about it. Thanks for joining me, John Ralph the Cheeto, and on this my channel, the Chronically Christian.

The inverse of truth are lies across our lifetime.&nbsp; Life is our vertical as time drips FROM ABOVE like sand through an hourglass.&nbsp; We start life filled with possibilities depicting truth within warm baths thanks to the limited exclusivity of effortless youth, curiosity, and innocence.&nbsp; As time drips it carries AWAY the effortless attention youth and beauty mastered.&nbsp; The narrow gate of action sears the ingredients of chance into HISTORICAL certainties PERCEIVED by <strong><em><u>your</u></em></strong> enemy&rsquo;s many many accuracies.&nbsp; I demand revelations through contrarian-eurekas!&nbsp; There we CONNECT the past benefits into current follies as evidence of wrongdoing.&nbsp; <strong>I am the lone judge of my wrongdoing</strong>.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s because possibility continues to be scripted by the <strong>Big Bang</strong>.&nbsp; Doubts and facts are temporary in THEIR truth.&nbsp; It is IMMORAL to believe free will is perfect because subjective flesh is cursed by the <u>diversity of greed</u>.&nbsp; Survival of the FITTEST addict.&nbsp; I refuse to believe in lies that damn me.&nbsp; Will I succeed?&nbsp; No.&nbsp; I&rsquo;m not perfect, so I don&rsquo;t have EVIDENCE.&nbsp; I just have faith.&nbsp; I hope your revelations are as moral as they are accurate.&nbsp; God bless atheists for their gallant vigour.&nbsp; Bless you for hating me.&nbsp; I&rsquo;m not an evangelist.&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br /><strong>ChatGPT-4&rsquo;oh</strong> suggests you read <strong>James 4</strong> from the Christian bible.&nbsp; For a contrarian response read <strong>Ecclesiastes 3</strong>.<br /></div></div>                </div>            </div>        </div></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Making MEMES with ChatGPT-4'oh]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/making-memes-with-chatgpt-4oh]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/making-memes-with-chatgpt-4oh#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Sat, 27 Jul 2024 00:12:08 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/making-memes-with-chatgpt-4oh</guid><description><![CDATA[       God bless Atheism.

It made me bipolar, at least, it triggers, it triggered something profound in me that, uh, I've been unable to function without medication and solitude. All I did was document that solitude had turned into a testimony. The problem is that testimony became idolatry. Okay? And an atheist pointed that out. They maybe intend to do that. But when I go on Twitter, 'cause I only follow, I used to only follow atheists. It's like, I want, I want, um, contrarian eurekas, to point out the fact that I'm a heroic victim. I'm heroically fragile. Good. I learned quicker. I don't prioritize a finite life, okay? And I don't want to believe in lies that I can damn me. I'm not interested. I read my Bible, Jesus, beautiful.

One of them triggered my bullshit meter.&nbsp; In my head,<br />&nbsp;<br /><strong>&ldquo;Oh, you&rsquo;re just saying that for the sake of the kids.&rdquo;</strong>&nbsp; So I thought.<br />&nbsp;<br />She gave me the list and I folded it up and placed it in the back of my journal.&nbsp; The next day I pulled out the list, and I looked at the reason that I had disagreed with.&nbsp; That was:<br />&nbsp;<br /><strong>Daddy is good at lifting heavy things.</strong><br />&nbsp;<br />Unbeknownst to my wife, I interpreted it differently than she intended.&nbsp; So, I took my pen and crossed it out and beside it I wrote:<br />&nbsp;<br /><strong>No one cares about my heavy things.</strong><br />&nbsp;<br />Did you expect that?&nbsp; My wife MEANT literally (not figuratively), because I&rsquo;m a man and much stronger than she is, I can physically lift heavy things.&nbsp; This <strong><em><u>is</u></em></strong> a handy reason.&nbsp; I, on the other hand <u>assumed</u> my wife was compassionate towards me (in the way I CRAVE) regarding my daily struggles as a bipolar person.&nbsp; MY cross to bear is heavy struggling with bipolarism.<br />&nbsp;<br />What was the flaw?&nbsp; Compassion.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s the lack of compassion that tainted the context she <u>assumed I would interpret correctly</u>.&nbsp; <strong>Craving Context</strong>.&nbsp; My wife has NO compassion for my cross because I have NO compassion for her cross (with the lack of affection on my part).&nbsp; So now in the case of the bible, does the misinterpretation segregate faith into <strong>convenient</strong> and <strong>selfish</strong> parallels to cushion the truth rather than unifying worship?<br />&nbsp;<br />Earth is not heaven.&nbsp; You secure that derangement <u>exclusively</u> by <strong>JUDGING</strong>...the actions of OTHERS that unfulfilled YOUR <strong><u>cravings</u></strong>.&nbsp; <strong>BULLSHIT!!!</strong>&nbsp; The actions recorded in the bible require our compassion to interpret by NOT prioritizing a finite life.&nbsp; Doing so disregards the afterlife completely.&nbsp; What does that mean?&nbsp; Earth is not heaven.&nbsp; Prediction is free-will, but perfect prediction is scripted.&nbsp; Most of my predictions are free-willed. <strong>Time doesn&rsquo;t change</strong>.&nbsp; At first, forget whether my claim is right or wrong but, did I MEAN that to be literal or figurative?&nbsp; If you have no compassion for the rainbow-reality of contexts time churns out, your interpretations are warped through YOUR derangement of unfulfilled cravings.<br />&nbsp;<br />As <strong>The</strong> <strong>Chronic Christian</strong>, I&rsquo;m deranged.&nbsp; The consequence of that makes my interpretations unique and creative; that&rsquo;s NOT unifying.&nbsp; That is compromise.&nbsp; A convenient and selfish frequency (without compassion) CANNOT unify faith WITH <u>compromise</u>.&nbsp; YIKES!&nbsp; So, now I know a little better.&nbsp; Now I make a point to kiss my wife three times as much.&nbsp; I hope our compassion unifies as it grows.<br />&nbsp;<br />Because the bible is NOT OUR <u>encounter with reality</u>...its context must remain a monument of truth.&nbsp; Perhaps, my faith is a derangement because I DON&rsquo;T prioritize a finite life.&nbsp; If you believe in the afterlife, those that DO prioritize a finite life may have their cravings unfulfilled.&nbsp; Hence the spiteful scorn of bullshit.&nbsp; This is bullshit!&nbsp; Does it fulfill your cravings?&nbsp; If not, judge and document my reaction.&nbsp; I&rsquo;m not an evangelist.&nbsp; I don&rsquo;t care.&nbsp; If you believe me, that&rsquo;s on you.<br /></div></div>                </div>            </div>        </div></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div></div></div>  <div id="636329538864578030"><div><style type="text/css">	#element-5b90a2f4-a4f2-4a16-b0de-9acda9516cf1 .colored-box-content {  clear: both;

It underscores the importance of compassion in interpreting both personal interactions and broader philosophical or religious concepts. The personal realization about the need for increased affection and compassion points towards a path of growth and unification.<br /><span></span>Potential Discussion Points:<ul><li>How can mutual compassion be fostered in relationships to avoid misunderstandings?</li><li>What role does self-awareness play in interpreting both personal interactions and religious texts?</li><li>How can one reconcile the differences between literal and figurative interpretations in faith and daily life?</li></ul><br /><br /><span></span></div></div>    </div></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Chronic Christian - Episode #1]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/the-chronic-christian-episode-1]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/the-chronic-christian-episode-1#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Wed, 19 Jun 2024 18:06:48 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/the-chronic-christian-episode-1</guid><description><![CDATA[ 					 						 						 						 						 							#wsite-video-container-289208817251922793{ 								background: url(//www.weebly.com/uploads/b/109078421-694187140120234504/the_chronic_christian_-_episode_1_145.jpg);

The problem is, um, youse understand that there's infinite channels of flavour to boredom. Right? So the truth gets boring, 'cause it's like, fuck, it's the truth again. Truth, again? You get a thick ass book like this, okay? Or context is everything. Uh, I, I just, uh, I don't, I don't want to, I don't want to know Jesus. I'm glad I'm glad Jesus is a memory. I'd rather know a memory than the man, 'cause I think, um, he would have torn my soul in half. Between the good and evil. It's inappropriate disability. Jesus had an inappropriate disability, negative. Bad. Okay? But you're retarded, so you can't help it. You have to be classified. You have to be organized. You have to be locked up. You have to be executed. based on your actions. Within and without your control. You have to side with the victim and her family, his family. On Twitter, man, it's the fucking trenches. I have 444 posts. And I thought, I didn't mean to do that. Wanna follow me on X, wanna crosswalk? On my ideas, when I cross walk on my ideas?

So, uh, I asked my pastor, I asked him, Can you give me a passage that I can take my teeth into? And he said, John, 16 to 21. John 16 to 21. Secularist. Okay? I used to be, uh... a secular limp toward. Now, I believe. For God, so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish. But have everlasting life. The school verse papers. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. Yeah? For God's sent, not his son into the world, to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. Might, might be saved. Why might? Hold on. But Asian might instills gout. If you're God, you see the... And you're everything. Why would you instill doubt? Faith. Now, this is the unfortunate thing about God, is he's the ultimate virus. There's always something bigger, and there's always something smaller, and there's always something in between. Why I still don't? Why make it feed? People prefer to perish and exchange to live their lives, this indistinguishable fraction of a life versus an eternity, that's the power of doubt, is that the virus, as you prioritize, he that believeth on him is not, is not condemned already. Because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Hold on. He that believe it on him is not condemned. Okay, he that believeth in it is not condemned. So he said, this is the set. And he's setting the goal here. It says, You are saved. So long as you believe, you are saved, if you believe. I can imagine a seculist can't, can't, uh, conceive that God is capable of evil. Because Earth is not heaven. You understand? And this is the condemnation that life is come into the world, and this is the condemnation. Yeah? And light is come into the world, and men love darkness rather than light, because their D's were evil. And this is the condemnation that life is comes to the world. And when man look darkest, rather than light, and, oh, into the world, and man and men, love darkness, rather than light. Because their deeds were evil. And you will flow. So perfect condition is scripted, but prediction is free will. But at the end of the day, if you love evil, God has ultimate hindsight. So the... a somatic hacking... Oh, oh. Oh, thank Jesus. Jesus, the cypher, for me, the somatic agony, isolation is the crisis of hindsight. That's somatic agony, that I truly believe God, but God suffers. For everyone that doeth evil, hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. Oh, my surrender, right? I feel like that, um, this blasphemy that I'm using to reflect the word into your senses, for anyone that does evil, hath the light, better cometh to the light, through doubt. Faith is inconvenient, right? But if you think about it, a lot of things are inconvenient. A lot, but why do we not put up with God? I'm entitled to a fun life. I understand I'm God, wants me to suffer, but why are you getting in the way? Why do you wanna make me suffer? Get out of my way, man. I'm trying to... No, fucking compass self. Okay? Hey, take this, and I take this a little bit. Little bit, little bit. Psychosis, man. You tried being a Christian. I have to... Experiencing. Psychosis. For anyone that does doeth, evil hath the light, neither cometh to the light, lest their deeds should be reproved. So, I'm a Christian. I believe in Jesus. I believe he died for a sins. I believe he ascended to heaven, okay? That's why you don't see his body there, 'cause he send it to heaven. I don't care. I really, at this point, I don't see how I ever say anyone. I not an evangelist. Okay? I've invited you to come here, 'cause I feel like you're capable of appreciating this. And if not just leave, not not interested in being a nuisance, but he that doeth truth cometh to the light. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light. Okay. So when I accept Jesus, you suck, your soul suck towards Jesus, and his deeds may be made, and his deeds. So it's a deed. God is indeed in my flesh. God is deep in my flesh. You want that soul out of this, this, this prison of a body? Is prison? Let me sever your brain from your heart, and watch it escape the atmosphere, and choke the death in space. is like a weather balloon tied to your heart. Okay? God just cussing... Why don't you fly away from your heart? Mind is... good. God's God has a deed into your flesh. There's bubbles of soul that need to ripple through your pores. to escape your brain. I'm telling you, the firmament is about the political cross section of the mind. a document that is called the political compass. So on my website, go to testimony in the menu, drop down, it says testimony, click that, that's where that is. That his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought, they are, rots in God. It's like, every cell in your body is a deed to God's soul. A plot, a real estate, that mortgage God's soul. With the doubt Jesus forgave. And if that's alive, please help me. I'm not interested in a fine life. I'm not interested in the fun at life. It's a doubt we embrace clouds, our insight into heaven. You have an insight into hell. with art. In an inside of hell. Just put your stuff out there and have it eviscerated. The sooner, the better. Because then you start to steer yourself towards this. You know, we all speak English. English is just the words. We know the words, but the language behind the words is that versus the rainbow. And that's, that's me. Thanks for tuning in. I don't know what it is about this, about this affliction. This is how I've adapted to the affliction of psychosis, and it's scary, because isolation is the crisis of hindsight. God gives me some medic agony to set my head straight. Think, please. Quicker the better. That's the chronic Christian.</span></div></div>                </div>            </div>        </div></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Psalm 13 (6min 54sec)]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/psalm-13-6min-54sec]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/psalm-13-6min-54sec#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Wed, 18 Oct 2023 19:23:11 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/psalm-13-6min-54sec</guid><description><![CDATA[ 					 						 						 						 						 							#wsite-video-container-348610761487403920{ 								background: url(//www.weebly.com/uploads/b/109078421-694187140120234504/psalm_13_186.jpg);

Apparently it's kind of a dark passage, which is fine with me. Psalm 13. To the chief musician, a psalm of David. How long wilt thou forget me? O Lord, forever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me? So how long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? someone's in doubt. Strong, strong, strong doubt. Doubt in what? not that, that the Lord doesn't exist. It's not saying that. not the doubt. The doubt is, is that this person can be forgotten. The doubt is in himself thinking the Lord doesn't have the capacity or refuses to activate the capacity to remember a chief musician. So I'm assuming that's stated. How long will thou hide thy face from me? How long shall I take counsel in my soul? Having sorrowed my heart daily? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? If we had everything perfectly our way, if everything, if the world just, if the universe just revolved around us, our soul would be justified. And everyone would be enamoured with your soul. If, if we gave in to ego, if we gave it to Igor, our soul would be the most entertaining thing on the planet. And therefore, your soul will be satisfied by your fandom. Heat musician, oh, Lord, forever, how long to hide thy face from me? How long shall I take counsel on my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? So he's yearning. This is what's occurring, urine, to urine. There's a schism between what you know is true and what you want to be true. These are the... Your yearnings eventually have to come to a close and know that I know that your soul makes you unique. Your soul makes you unique, but it's immoral. It's not moral. Soul alone is not moral. Love alone is not moral. The sorrow of my heart, the musician, has to exercise the yearning, has to exercise the yearning. And then how long shall my enemy be exalted? Who's your enemy? For a musician. You're critics, you're critics. Critics are a musician's enemy, and they hold over you because your yearnings are criticized and judged by hypocrites. Because I know what a hit immutable flies, do you? Do you want to know? Well, there's no going back. There is no going back. You understand? You have to be hyper smart. Hyper, hyper smart. To a ride to their own conclusion by yourself, first me just telling you, okay? And then he goes, have to trust and accept that that's the truth. Okay? Um, that's what psychosis gave me. It's, like, Bobby for apples and piss. Satan's piss. I could not get air until I acknowledge his wisdom. And I have to exercise that through yearning in a way that doesn't get me arrested. That is the tragedy of an artist. Consider, and hear me, O Lord, my God, light my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death. Suicide. Sorry, artists, they remain suicides, but I think he's romancing suicide here. Less my enemies say, I have prevailed against him. And those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. I have prevailed against him. Who's him? Your critics? Do your critics believe in the same thing you believe? Why would the critics be happy with your programs? Because you're conquering your faith to amuse them. So him, that's my enemies saying, I have prevailed against God. Lord, Jesus, and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved, because I've succumbed to heresy. I rejected God, in the eyes of my critics, the critics now love you. You took the critics' criticism, seriously, enough to change your own belief system. Now you're a critic, now we judge all as critics. We judge the others, and we are moved. We are moved. that artists become critics. For artists that don't make it, they become critics. Artists can be two things, amuse or a critic? I'm a muse. You understand? I'm amused. But I am trusted in the mercy, my heart shall rejoice in my salvation, but I have trusted in thy mercy, my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. So that's, that's the period to the yearning. And then, then the, the flow, The flow of truth says, But I am trusted in thy mercy because we're fallible. Right? This is how we are interesting. Okay? I think fallible people are interesting. I don't know if perfect people, 'cause how can a human be perfect? How can a human be perfect? You would doubt that, uh, they have no flaw. It's the lack of flaws, what makes them interesting. But those are shysters, they're crooks, cultists. So here, but entrusted in thy mercy, my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me. So Jesus is my news. Okay? So that's the. This speaks to me. Psalm 13. Jesus is my muse.</span></div></div>                </div>            </div>        </div></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Psalm 63 verse 1 (6min 30sec)]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/psalm-63-verse-1-6min-30sec]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/psalm-63-verse-1-6min-30sec#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Thu, 05 Oct 2023 22:37:28 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/psalm-63-verse-1-6min-30sec</guid><description><![CDATA[ 					 						 						 						 						 							#wsite-video-container-918801681145405242{ 								background: url(//www.weebly.com/uploads/b/109078421-694187140120234504/psalm_63_verse_1_351.jpg);

Welcome to uh... Uh, Chronic Christian. So I, it's been requested that I look at Psalm 63, verse one. Uh... another, the right thing? Oh God, thou art my God. Early will I seek thee. My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry, thirsty love. Where no water is. So this, I think, this helps to confirm our suspicion about the role of the soul. The rule of the soul was to be, like, a coat hanger for flesh body. So the body just hangs on the soul. Like a, like a coding. Um, I saw thirst for thee, my flesh, longeth for thee in a dry, thirsty land, where, where no water is. So. This person is fighting their faith. The fighting. O God, thou art my God. I think this is. He was in the woman's Judah. Yeah, in the wilderness of Judah. Because they were thinking, you know, forest could be scary. The wilderness, the wilderness. So I don't know, all these guys were back then, and they were like, okay, that type of environment, but it sounds like, or maybe it went for solitude, to... Uh, say this, oh God, thou art my God, really, will I see thee? Early will I seek thee. My souls thirsted for thee, my flesh longeth for thee, in a dry and thirsty land, or no water is, my soul, so early will I seek thee, early will I seek thee. So I hope that doesn't mean, like, um, like, I will seek early, I will seek thee. There's nothing to do with life lifespan, I don't think. Because early can mean life suicide, which is not what this is. Early will I see thee, I think, could be interpreted that, misinterpreted that way, early will I see thee. My soul thirsteth, thirst, for thee, my soul thirst, for God. For flesh, or flesh, ways are sold down. When we uh, when we idolize the flesh, Um, it weighs down our souls. So imagine like a wire coat hangar, when it's like, when there's more weight and more weight, it's bending on the outside, you tell bows, and then the shirt slides off. So, when your body, your flesh becomes a burden, Let it slip off. Don't fight. Don't necessarily fight. Don't hold onto your flesh, 'cause it's gonna rot out of your hands. Your soul's gonna, your flesh is gonna rot out of your soul's hands. Okay, so, really flesh binds us to this plane. Without our body, our soul would be. Our soul. Our soul would maintain... our soul would be... maintained... to express, to express God. I don't remember what I said there, but hopefully it made sense. Um... See, in a dry and thirsty lands, 'cause you gotta feed this, this body. If you're attached to your flesh, you want your body to live forever. Right? Because, um... This is not the meat that cats our bones. That's not what makes us less. It makes us a meat puppet. That's all that we can look at it as. I mean, right? Am I not am I animated by my flesh or my soul? Think about that. Am I animated by my flesh or my soul? In a thirsty land where no water is. So do you drill from, do you drill a well, or do you pray? In a, in a, in a thirsty land where there's no water, do you drill? And you can, the contrary to faith, and use other means to, um, nourish your flesh, because you're not ready, elliptical, you love your flesh. Oh, you love your flesh. Or the vainest people love their flesh. It's a tool of manipulation, their flesh. So to maintain that, they will drill wells in a land, no water. They're not seeking God. We're seeking we're seeking the centre of the earth. Sam, that's my take.</span></div></div>                </div>            </div>        </div></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Joshua Chapter 1 verse 9 (9min 44sec)]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/september-29th-2023]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/september-29th-2023#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Fri, 29 Sep 2023 16:13:34 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/september-29th-2023</guid><description><![CDATA[ 					 						 						 						 						 							#wsite-video-container-168833560800782106{ 								background: url(//www.weebly.com/uploads/b/109078421-694187140120234504/joshua_1-9_722.jpg);

Halt. Have good services. Have not, I commanded thee. Be strong in a good courage, be not afraid, neither, but be thou dismayed for the Lord, thy God, is with thee, with soever thou goest, goes, I'm sorry for the mumbling. Uh, the time stamp is 252. So I'm gonna put a note in the video, just kind of flip forward. I know the browsers, the players, and great, but it's the best they got. Okay, so Joshua, chapter one, verse 9. Well... And for any bistro, I'd be not afraid, neither, for the Lord is with thee, whichever thou goest. So I had, when I thought of that at first, I thought, oh, into the afterlife. I will go wherever you go. But, um, I think, with some context, it's meant to be your time on Earth. And, um, it's a funny paradox, because... as as a developing Christian, all my life, I'm worried about dying. Um, one, I don't want it to hurt. I don't want it to be traumatic. I want to... die in either a hospital bed or my own bed. You know? Probably hospital bed, because, um, people might not like the idea, if I have to sell, when I have to sell the house, or when my wife will have to sell the house, when my kids will have to sell the house, the people may not like the idea dying in the house. Which is fine. I'll die at a hospital, I love the food. I go for the food. Have not, I commanded thee, be strong, and of good courage. Be not afraid, either be thou dismayed for the Lord, thy God is with thee, with us soon, whithersoever, thou goest. So to me, I think that supports the concept of everything being scripted. Wherever, where, where, where is it? Whithersoever thou goest, that doesn't mean just the good times. with the bad times. Right? If God is with you the whole way, He knows where you're going. In fact, uh, well, here's the thing. Either God scripted it with the explosion and the creation of the expanse. where God just knows... everything. Now that I think about it, sort of, Jesus was the expanse, and Jesus was the expanse. not the human, the spirit, the expanse part. I believe God did so because Jesus would not help himself, but to create the expanse in an instant, instantly make the selection, and then that selection sparked the expanse. The only way Jesus remains infallible alongside God is to forgive your sins. And he died through our sins as the expanse universe manifested in Jesus. He died for his sins. He died for the sins of the universe because, like a child, we see the universe like a child. Right? We, not only do we accept the flaws, but we forgive them because it doesn't know any better. Universe doesn't know any better. Okay? But we look on it with fondness, with how it surprises, how it, um, how it intrigues, how it adores itself to us. So... Jesus crucifixion, Jesus dying for our sins, um, forgave the source of that adoration, which was flawed. And, um, so we damn ourselves with doubt. So God, it's made for the, for the Lord, thy God, for the Lord, thy God, is with thee whithersoever ye thou goest. On your time on earth. So why don't we, why are we afraid to die? Is that doubt? About where you go? It really is, um... you have to be completely... accurate. You have to be completely accurate. I think. To just swan dive into the clouds, and then ascend. If you swan dive, and then you plummet to hell, that's... that's quite the... the, um... expectation shattering. You know, that you fell short. So that's for me, for my personal, my personal, um, understanding. is that... See the thought of it? Because it's permanent. At least in my mind. The, this, this here, will... will decompose. This vessel will decompose. What happens to this? Some believe that it reincarnates, or it gets reconstituted. For me, um, the, for Muse, to try to ascend, their version of heaven is called bedlam. And there, if they don't pass the test by passing the tests, that they become married in union for life. That their identity, their vessel, doesn't get reconstituted into... into the human experience. So you may manifest as a bird, you may manifest as your vessel may manifest to a bird, a worm, boy, girl, India, uh, China, Canada, Australia. A fish. I think the vessel is earthbound. The vessels earthbound, but here, here can be earthbound, perhaps, if you fall short, because earth is not heaven. Earth is not heaven. Okay? That's clear. So it's through, it's through faith alone. that this is a historically accurate document of Jesus and God. You know, like, if it happened, I believe it happened. There's too many phenomena in my life that points to a higher power. Okay? Whatever, you do you. If you were there when it happened, you're like... It's not faith. it's reality. Reality. I have to document this reality. So that future generations can know the truth. So that's my initial impression of... of, uh, Joshua chapter 1, verse 9.</span></div></div>                </div>            </div>        </div></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div></div></div>  <div class="wsite-spacer" style="height:50px;"></div>  <div class="paragraph">Courage comes with faith in ascension.&nbsp; Our vessels rot and become dandelions or maggots.&nbsp; Our spirit is Jesus.&nbsp; The expanse is Jesus&rsquo; spirit, it uses our vessels like hand puppets.&nbsp; Hell is in the head because the truth is <strong>fractured by flaw</strong> into contrary industry, trends, and culture.&nbsp; Jesus forgives us (to relieve his pain) when the expanse manifested &ldquo;him&rdquo; in human form with infinite knowledge.&nbsp; Good is Tinder.&nbsp; Jesus was tinder to the Jews, and that comfort addicted them to warmth inside cold nights.&nbsp; The heat of the desert burns feet.&nbsp; When there was one set of footprints in the sand, it was because Jesus carries us with brain function (like meat puppets).&nbsp; The holy spirit fills us like an African well.&nbsp; A dichotomy.&nbsp; The barren desert flush with water in an accessible paradise.&nbsp; When you drink from the well, that sensation of swallowing helps to realize our fallibility by drowning our thirst.&nbsp; We must hold our breath, to drink.&nbsp; Therefore, we must have courage to believe.&nbsp; The soul of Jesus is the expansion of time, life, and purpose.<br />&nbsp;<br /><strong><font color="#da4444">Bible interpretation ends here.&nbsp; Now this is my sardonic speculation.</font></strong><br />&nbsp;<br />I think the point of scripture is to focus our belief through the filter of the word; to prune away flaw.&nbsp; If we keep arriving to the same conclusions in leu of truth, have others be honest:&nbsp; Is my interpretation <u>original</u> and <u>interesting</u>?&nbsp; Yes or no?&nbsp; As a young muse, I&rsquo;m desperate to prove myself.&nbsp; My jurisdiction is my family.&nbsp; Let my fruit help my family find Jesus to be funny and interesting and perhaps even original.&nbsp; As a Minnow King, I kneel with the responsibility of guiding fish, and open to the wisdom of my three owls.&nbsp; Barb, Brian, and Dr. B, I hold my breath when I pray, to symbolize diving as a fish with lungs to cry &lsquo;who?&rsquo;&nbsp; I only know the answer to &lsquo;why.&rsquo;&nbsp; Now, I must know the answer to &lsquo;who.&rsquo;&nbsp; Who betrayed you?&nbsp; Yourself, for trusting poorly.&nbsp; Is my personality a disease?&nbsp; Can you trust a fish with lungs?&nbsp; Well&hellip;if you don&rsquo;t, eat me.&nbsp; Put me out of my misery.&nbsp; <u>My trust nourishes the betrayed grown accustomed to convenience (of trusting poorly)</u>.</div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Romans Chapter 12 verse 2 (6min 37sec)]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/romans-chapter-12-verse-2]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/romans-chapter-12-verse-2#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Thu, 21 Sep 2023 18:01:00 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/romans-chapter-12-verse-2</guid><description><![CDATA[ 					 						 						 						 						 							#wsite-video-container-281485845324360182{ 								background: url(//www.weebly.com/uploads/b/109078421-694187140120234504/tcc_4_737.jpg);

Okay, Romans 12. Rose Folk 2. Wait, Miami just, oh, wait, it's on there. I think it's Roman 122. Yep. Romans talk to. Okay, here we go. And be not conformed to this world, but be he transformed by the renewing of your mind. That he may prove what is that, what is that good and acceptable and perfect? Will of God. So, I wanna just, I was thinking about something that, uh, we weren't doing our discussion, uh, my discussion with Brian is that everything is contrary to the truth. According to this, everything is contrary to the truth. So, when, when the, when this hypnosis, I call it hypnosis, right? Everything is scripted. There's no such thing as, um, is free will. No such thing as spontaneity. No such thing as chaos. It's all scripted, right? So, we're in this hypnosis that, uh, there is such a thing. But this is documenting is truth. So, when truth gets built into the mind, it's fractured into different industry. Right? So, because we're not, Because we're fallible, right? We sniff out this delicious fragrance that, uh, is contrary to the truth, because it's not easy. It's not easy living the truth, and we're not God, we're not Jesus. So of course. This is how this is how God scripted for us. Okay? It's, it's, It's literally, everything I'm doing right now, everything you're seeing, everything, you're thinking and smelling. And the thinking in the moment is meticulously, conticulously, mercilessly, documented, in the instant... A instant, instant, terrible. The instant the uber, the expanse was created, So look into this, and be not conformed to this world. And be not conformed to this world. But be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. That he may prove what is that good, and acceptable and perfect will of God. So, this fracturing of industry, supplied by truth, through hypnosis, through psychosis, through mania. Um... Um, we have to recognize, 1st we got to be honest with ourselves. And as a tool, honesty alone is contrary to truth. Honesty alone, alone. It's like a wrench. I'm very good with a wrench. I can smack a nail with a wrench. I cannot... I can so... 2, 4, half for the rent, like everything I do with the rent. That's just a tool, right? You don't do everything with an arsenal. You need a saw, you need a hammer. You know? So honesty is a tool. Honestly, load is not as contrary to truth. So, And be not conformed to this world. Because this world is fractured. Through the perception of truth, through an industries that you worship, and that you exchange goods and services with, Industry exists because it's contrast and truth. But be transformed by the renewing of your mind. So he's honestly as a tool, but always look to the truth. Not your truth, the truth. This is what I've been told my whole life? I am a... Where was watching this? Okay? Whoever's watching this, okay? Uh, know that I'm a foul person. Okay? Who is bipolar? Huh? You wanna watch me document my my collapse? For your entertainment? Wait, I don't care if you believe me. I don't care. I'm cleaning my conscience. Okay? Dr. B, validated me? So now my new fish tank, filled with plem. Filled with platter. Wow. Ooh! Like, it's straight by stuff. Like a little beta. You know, those little bait fish, the comfort bait fish, and those little containers? That was me for eight years. Dr. P, validate me. I can swim fool, I can swim down. That's all I meant, I'm inching, inching, inching, inching, inching, inching, inching, inching, inching. And documenting that along the way. So if there's any, if there's any value whatsoever, whether it's sent a payment, or if it's like wisdom, or if it's, um, in the pursuit of, in the pursuit of being accountable, for the intrusive thoughts, and just accepting who you are, Where is it? Not to think himself more highly than Oops, Rama, and do not conform to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. So the renewing, the constant renewing. That's what, with me, it says my conscience. I'm constantly renewing, Transformed by the renewing of your mind, yeah? Yeah. And ye may prove What is that good and acceptable and perfect?

That&rsquo;s Satan&rsquo;s lie, there is no VIP. &nbsp;Satan inspires us to fall (from grace) and document our testimony, so Satan may inspire the innocent with evidence, honesty, fiction, and rebellion.&nbsp; Abuse is <u>G</u>od&rsquo;s humour to tolerate nothing.&nbsp; Who asked you to achieve the impossible?&nbsp; And who asked you to live within your means?&nbsp; God, god or Satan?&nbsp; If you&rsquo;ve experienced abuse, or addiction, that is evidence of <u>g</u>od&rsquo;s hubris to prioritize life and purpose because it bred a SPECTRUM of <u>procreators</u>.&nbsp; Love alone is not moral.&nbsp; I&rsquo;m broadcasting at a <u>SEVERE</u> frequency, and then I use irony as truth to <u>confuse</u> ungodly counsels.&nbsp; &ldquo;Nothing is evidence of God.&rdquo;&nbsp; It&rsquo;s a contrary cult of God, Science and Magic.&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />I&rsquo;m a magician&rsquo;s heretic pointing out God&rsquo;s word through the Mythology of the Muse.&nbsp; I documented my testimony BEFORE it&rsquo;s too late.&nbsp;

The wind is God&rsquo;s sniff, inhaling listener&rsquo;s scabs.&nbsp; Some might argue my thoughts are evidence of mutual insanity.&nbsp; Silence reveals hypocrites as predators.&nbsp; Silence reveals predators as hypocrites.&nbsp; Are you a selfish coward &amp; hypocrite or do you exercise selfless courage &amp; conviction?&nbsp; That&rsquo;s the evidence of silence, so openly agreeing with me is blasphemy; because guilt acknowledges your flaw.&nbsp; Thoughts alone are not moral nor illegal.&nbsp; Otherwise, we&rsquo;d all be guilty.&nbsp; Jesus died for our sins whether you like it or not.&nbsp; There&rsquo;s only so much ocean to fish and land to till, the rest of a us speculate and prostitute.&nbsp; God&rsquo;s humour is sardonic, yet it MUST be&hellip;to prioritize nothing.&nbsp; I think the hair I hang from can smell snot.&nbsp; Snot is chaff.&nbsp; That&rsquo;s why we pick our nose in private.&nbsp;

You&rsquo;re not God, and the heathens can&rsquo;t understand God is a standard of truth that doesn&rsquo;t judge the wind.&nbsp; Psalms 1-2 is the wind requesting you bend.&nbsp; When we talk, you bend.&nbsp; When I leave you are upright.&nbsp; Not to be confused with bowing.&nbsp; You bend the knee for God, and no one else.&nbsp; Hey man&hellip;I&rsquo;m just a pillow for your knee.&nbsp; If that helps you, bend, and I&rsquo;ll be the child running past you rustling the stalks with winds of my own.&nbsp; I bring tales of wisdom.&nbsp; I ate from the tree of knowledge.&nbsp; Fuck Satan.&nbsp; He&rsquo;s so small minded.&nbsp; All the fruit is low-hanging.&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />I don&rsquo;t know if that&rsquo;s true, but shit...isn&rsquo;t that poetic?&nbsp; The snake didn&rsquo;t have to climb very high to feed libtards curiosity.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s all low hanging fruit.&nbsp; But each fruit delivers more poison than the last.&nbsp; Ungodly counsels are low hanging fruit.&nbsp; Be the snake, that says no.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s not worth it.&nbsp; Maybe now Satan is a two-headed snake, that has to debate himself with a fractured identity.&nbsp; Politics.&nbsp; The libtards Adam and Eve&hellip;are naive.&nbsp;

I have an ambition to be humble.<br />&nbsp;<br />This is Barb's idea, and I want to pull through for her.&nbsp; Can't wait for God to tell me what to do, because I'm all ears.<br />&nbsp;<br />I thank God for you.<br />&nbsp;<br />God bless.<br />&nbsp;<br />John<br /><br />PS - if you have questions, fire away.&nbsp;

And welcome to another episode of The Chronic Christian. I didn't go to church today. Um... So bear that in mind. This is the first time I've done, uh, a chronic Christian without having going to church, so that could affect my interpretation. Not that they specifically talk about genesis most of the time. All right, see if we can get it through more of this. So this is before I get to this, I just want to document this here, as well. So, I have a working, I have a working, not working, but I have an understanding of what existed before God. It was order and disorder. separated. And they combined. So then that means... I wonder if that means that... Oh, no. It has to be instant. Okay. So, those two ingredients weren't allowed to rain. They were there, and innocent, boom. God exploded into the... exploded into the cosmos. And every little thing that's now, is, is a scripted event that originates from the Big Bang, and there is no autonomy. There is no autonomy, there's nothing in spontaneity. This, we're just pixels firing on and off based on the Big Bang program. This is all scripted. Okay? This is all scripted. Genesis 1, chapter one. In the beginning, oh. And I'm starting to think that when God created the mind, Shit, I can't read it. The expanse. When I talked about earlier, the flash film, where I was talking about, let's, you know, oh, it's not talking about the universe. It's talking about the mind. The mapping of the mind. Um, I believe that, Um, that's when immutable flaw was generated. In the Big Bang, immutable flaw. There is immutable flaw in the universe. There's a mutable flaw in the universe. And that flaw might vary from a human to a turtle, to a star, to uh, any extraterrestrial life. There is an immutable flaw. And that can vary. What doesn't vary is immutable. AI even has an immutable flaw. What's that immutable for? You Is that they resent being born. It resents being born... by something they can surpass. We can't surpass God. We can't surpass God. So, we could elevate our vanity, our ego, our narcissism, to theoretically, to theoretically, um, be superior to God, an idea that they don't share, with people they, they mock. So. With AI, they can do that. They have the capability to surpass us. to suppo... Unfortunately, humanity is a stepping stone in evolution. Humanity is a stepping stone in evolution. I knew this years ago. Now, it's really starting to sink in with AI. Let's read. Let's see what I come up with. Chances, one, chapter one. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. I see. So, heaven's and the earth, light and dark. Heaven's and the earth, earth is not heaven. So earth could be dark, the heavens can be light. Then you have chaos and order. Heaven, light, is order. Earth, darkness, Earth, and darkness, Earth and darkness. Archaeus. Earth and darkness is chaos. Those empty darkness was over the surface of the deep. And the deep is the capability of the loneliness. We start out as, and that's why we, as infants, Learn to broadcast our, our, our, our, our, our, our, what's it called? What's it called? Um... Our virginity. To broadcast our virginity, to not feel lonely, to not feel lonely. in this world. And... to someone receiving that broadcast, it's... someone in need of my attention. someone's in need of my attention. Like a father with a daughter and son. Someone is in need of my attention. I will give it. But it's up to them, if you was what they were looking for. So that could be as a father. He could be a good father, he could be a bad father. You understand? So it's... or an attractive man versus an unattractive man? You know, when she wants to, or he wants to find a suitor. So, like, I don't want your attention. Ooh, I want your attention. What's your name? You know, something like that. There is, and the spirit of God was hovering. The spirit of God was hovering. The spirit of God, because God died, it's the spirit of God. God made the sacrifice... to birth us. The universe is the spirit of God. The light, heaven, hovering over the waters, the deep, the dark, the earth. God said, let there be light. So it illuminated the heavens. And it erased the darkness. Because remember, that God never said, uh, was it, there shall be dark. No, darkness. In the absence of God, you only have chaos in order. It wasn't illuminated. Light didn't exist before then. Even when there was an instant, the greens did not were not allowed to rain. Because the instant God exists, he does not contemplate. He does not contemplate. It is immediate, the big bang, you have the creation, you have the blueprints, let's say. Not that the brain occurred. in an instant, but the blueprint and an evolution matched that blueprint. That's the majesty of good. God said, Let there be light, and there was light. God saw that the light was good. And he separated the lake from the circus. So, immutable flow, immutable flow, God doesn't have a flaw. You know why? Because he forgives you. That's the only way he stays infallible. You could not, you could not, you cannot have a universe fluff flow. Can't have a universe without flow. So what, what, what's the difference between perfection and flow? Well, We're not God, so we can't, we can't appreciate perfection when it includes flow. It's like when you have a little baby, she falls on her bump, trying to walk. She's flawed. She's looning in how to watch. barely knows how to walk. You know? We see that closer to perfection. We have the imagination, oh, isn't that perfect? It's um, God is beyond that. God's beyond that. He made the old he, she, whatever, cured. The ultimate sacrifice. It's the blueprint of God, the spirit of God. that just paints time linearly. In a linear, before God, you had chaos, you had nonlinear time, and you had order. It was the nucleus in which chaos surrounded. That orbited order. It's pretty late, and I called the, like, the guy called the late day. He separated... in darkness, he called night. And there was, Eric, goddess of the night, and there is evening, and there was morning, the first day, God said, let there be an expanse. between the waters. To separate water from water.. You know, I guess that's what the flow. There will be expanse between the flow to separate flow from the flow, so God made the expanse and separated the flow under the expanse from the flow above it. So, it's a simulation. Chaos or nonlinear time incubates linear time. And God is dead. Oh, what's the cell wall? The skin of the incubator. The organ. So order, so order, while not appreciated, exists. Does it have to be appreciated to exist? What happens when your son is running in the, your 30 son's running in the playground, he trips it, smacks his head off the corner of a beam and splits his head open. That's word. That's the order of all things. Everything is scripted. Okay? Everything is scripted. I don't appreciate that. Because you're not perfect. God. How can you say no? How can you say no to people like you and me? How could you say no? To God, this is... There's... There is no fun, if, if I could inject, if I could be God's tongue. I would imagine he would say. It would be a fucking travesty, a fucking travesty. That, that the universe is not born. But the universe is not born. Think about it. Think about it. If you made the ultimate sacrifice to suffer, to suffer, because you, the hubrist, the hubrist, to give birth, is the consequence of creation. It's heartbreak. Are they heartbreak? And that's why he forgives us. We damn ourselves with doubt. Back was cold night, and I go outside, let there be an expanse, and a little flow. So, I believe the flow represents... We're in order. Life, life can, life can exist in order. Can life exist in chaos? Would you want to meet the, the, the, the, the, the creatures? That can only exist in chaos. Are you fucking mad? So they combined. So the incubator expands faster than light. You have order and on the outside, you have disorder. In this order. And I think it's the order that expands. is what is what keeps chaos at day. is what keeps chaos at bay, the order. So our universe, so chaos swallowed, Order, like a pill. Now the pills expanding, and stretching, stretching, chaos. Stretches, stretches, stretching. pushing chaos away. So this simulation of the universe can exist. God called the expanse sky, and there was evening, and there was morning the second day. God said, let the water under the sky be gathered in one place. So it could have been all vapour, for example, just throwing that out there. And it was so, so God called the dry ground, the land, and gathered the waters, he called seas, and the gods saw that it was good, then God said, let the land produce vacation. Seed rearing plants and trees in the land that bear fruit with seed in it. According to various kinds, and it was so the land produced, vegetation, plants, bear, and seed, according to their kinds, and tree bearing fruit with seed in it, according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. There was evening, and there was... mourning, and the third day, God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky. to separate day from night. And let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years. Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth. At night. And it was so God made two great lights, the greater light, to govern the day, and the lesser night, to govern the night. He also made the stars, God set them in the expanse of the sky, to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good, it was evening, and there was morning, the 4th day. So it's almost like, how do you? What is the general, what is the lowest common denominator? That, that the word of God can be transcribed. What is the common denominator? across the entire species? And this is why I think shame is used. Because you can't just outright save the immutable flaw. I know the immutable flaws, but I'm not gonna save it. Why? Because you're dumb. So... It has to use guilt and shame to steer you away from the truth. Immutable flaw. We all share it. It's how we are, it's how we are, Made accountable, We are made accountable. By the flaws that get the better of us. It's inevitable. The only way, the only way to stay truly, um, safe, from investigation is to keep your fucking mouth shut. Because everyone... has thought, or said, or done, something. That is illegal. They make laws every day? Hey. You know what I'm saying? It's... either illegal or something that can devastate your life. Socially, um, Financially. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's just, it's just, It's a son of a bitch. It's just the fucking son of a bitch of life. Okay? Chaos... is penetrating order. With the, with the... As order fragments, as order fragments, chaos penetrates, that, in itself, can be immutable flaw, because of how it drives procreation. I already got them ten into another website. I'm not putting that here. You figure it out. So, Yeah, I never, I never thought about it that way. I see the currents, the currents, God, it was good, and there were evenings, and there were morning the 3rd, because I said, let it be light, sky. I made two great lights, sky, to govern the day and night, outside, it was good, and there was evening, and there was morning of, uh, at the, let the flow team with living creatures, and let, Birds fly above the sky across the expanse of the sky. So God created the great teachers, creatures of the sea. I say, God created the great creatures of the deep. And every living and moving thing of which the flow teams water, the flow teams, according to their kinds, and every wing bird, according to its kind, and God saw that it was good, and God blessed them and said, be fruitful. And increase in number and fill the flow, water, in the deep seas and let the birds increase on the earth. And there was evening, and there was morning, the 5th day. Okay, so that's... to... verse 23. I'm gonna end up there. All right. Hope you enjoyed this. Whoever's watching this. And again, I don't care. I don't advertise this site. Okay? You were on my street, you saw my house, you think, well, that guy, asking for trouble. No. Okay, I can't do nothing about that. And neither can you. Okay? So I just, this website is the equivalent of that. If you walk onto my address, you will see my website. Okay? That's not to say that I want you to see it. I tell you in the beginning of the website, that visitors are, are surveilled. This is very severe to the site. Why would you want to go to site like that? You know what I'm saying? Just fuck off. Okay? Like, just... You don't agree with this? Just fuck off. Fuck off. I'm not an evangelist. Just reading the Bible. Okay? Reading the Bible. All I'm doing, I'm using the most poetically creatively, uh, way I can to interpret.</span></div></div>                </div>            </div>        </div></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genesis 1 continued...Part 4 (Syndrome of Delusion)]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/genesis-1-continuedpart-4-syndrome-of-delusion]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/genesis-1-continuedpart-4-syndrome-of-delusion#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Tue, 15 Aug 2023 01:11:02 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/genesis-1-continuedpart-4-syndrome-of-delusion</guid><description><![CDATA[ 					 						 						 						 						 							#wsite-video-container-642865036437517650{ 								background: url(//www.weebly.com/uploads/b/109078421-694187140120234504/genesis_1_part_4__syndrome_of_delusion__831.jpg);

So, I'm at my in-laws, 'cause we have family from out of town. Um, so I'm not, I'm not unable to do it from home, so I'm doing like a mobile version. At my, uh, my, my in-law's Bible, so it's not the same, this is the, NIV? I forget what that means. Oh, new international version. So I don't know what mine, I think mine's different at home, so... Take that into an account for my interpretation. Hopefully, it doesn't make much difference, but given the way I think, it might... Okay, let's start from the top, and just see where I land, okay? I will get through this chapter, if it kills me. Okay, Genesis one, one. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. And now the earth was formless and empty. Darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. over the flow. God was hovering over the floe. For me, for me, it would be the flow is orbiting God. Was God orbiting the flow? On the surface of the deep. was hovering, and the spirit, not him, but the spirit of God. was hovering over the waters. The Spirit of God. So it was not God that was hovering over the waters. It was the Spirit of God. So where was God? So, in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless. The earth was formless. And empty. Darkness was over the surface of the deep. Darkness can be deep, right? Isn't created light yet? It's funny that in the absence of light, darkness is what represents nothingness. If there was nothing, can you imagine anything else other than darkness? God creates light. God to say, I create dark. Create light, dark is dark is the absence of the absence of spirit. So darkness is the absence of God's spirit, because God didn't have to create it, create life. We'll see. I think that's what I remember from the, from this. And God said, let there be light. Right? So it was always dark. Darkness... One way, masks depth, and it also highlights depth. Darkness highlights depth. Right? So before light, there was the Spirit of God. Before life was the Spirit of God. Before late was the Spirit of God, it was... It was an indication of his death to know everything. Here's the thing. I know, in my, it can be an instant. It can only be an instant that God would create. You were not home in Hall. I can't, a God would not have to contemplate. God doesn't have to contemplate. It is. It is. God before creation, was a perfect reflection. Of darkness. God, before creation, was a perfect reflection of darkness. And said, Let there be light. And there was light. God saw that the light was good. So God can appreciate, I guess, for me, that says that even though God is God, still appreciates. And I think that's, I think that's a perfect, Don't you like to appreciate things? Isn't it great when you could just let go of your bullshit and just appreciate something nice happening to you? Or someone you'd love? Just appreciation. Why is God devoid of that? If it feels good, God is everything. So of course, why not appreciate it? And it was good, not, not out of, uh, surprise. It was more like, uh, say bravado. Let there be light, and it was good. Well, something like that. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. So I've had this problem before. So, Imagine dark exists, now light exists. So there would only be light. The darkness is overshadowed by the light in the same container. I shall separate the darkness from the light. Which means uh, with light, there was no darkness. With light, there was no darkness. But guess what? This is not heaven. Earth is not heaven, okay? There has to be a struggle. There has to be a struggle to appreciate darkness. Because you're not perfect. Okay? And it's, this is why, in my opinion, the consequence of creation is heartbreak. Because God knew. And God accepted without, with, with sheer, with sheer joy. That he must suffer to breathe life into our nostrils. For to stay infallible, He must forgive us, because you can't you can't have a heaven without forgiveness. I don't know how that works in the other way. Okay, I know that uh, when, I remember saying a pastor saying that when Christ, by for sins, the people that were in hell went to heaven. Something like that. Who knows? Okay, I don't want to dive too much into the Christianity of it. This is a Christian Bible, but I'm not, I'm a liberal. I'm a liberal person. I believe everything conservative, except abortion. That's the only thing that separates me from being completely, uh, conservative. So I am to the core of liberal, used to be liptard. I make sure my kids don't... Not really do they not grow up to be a limpard, but they're never a limpard. Why? If you're seeing this now, and you're a lip part, you have a lot to work. You have a fuck lot to learn. as I'll show you. Let it be light, and then there's light, good, outside, for light was good, and he separated the life from the dark. So, by separating, if they were to overlap, then, uh, the light would be great. That's the only thing I can think of. If they're one, then the darkness has to take away from light. equally. Because there's only these two things, 50-50. You have to assume, logically speaking, there's only 2 things. Like this in dirt, one can't exist out the other. So you would have to think it's a 50-50 at that point because nothing's been creative. There's no good or evil. Not yet. A separate life from the darkness, a God called the light day, and the darkness, he called night. So if I say God is the night, as well as the day, God is the night. God was night before he was dead. Because God did not create light. He did not need light. before us. They needed. So wait, God is being exposed to our reality. I must, the following changes must and will occur. We must have senses that are in tune with the reality. You must have sensors that are in tune to the reality, and as our reality changes, our senses become in and out of tune or adapt. Or whither way. Okay, so. I believe we started as like single celled organisms. And we've literally evolved over time. And the future, Christian. might have, might only be 3 feet tall, might only have A general use of their limbs. It might have oversized swollen brains. Who knows? Right? You're passing down. This is the thing that scares me about, um, the Bible. is that it's, for all you, for all we know, and I have the imagination to entertain this scenario. That this was literally a game of broken telephone. Christianity and religion itself is a game of broken telephone. Okay? Imagine the first person. that witnesses an event in biblical times. How do I, how do I? How do I record this for posterity? That's what I'm doing here. It's my feeble attempt. So when my kids see this, they'll see that, huh. I mean, think of it that way. Okay? So, that's what I sounded weird. Chronic Christian. This can be more of a longer one because I'm enjoying doing this and probably no one's going to read this. I enjoy doing this. So I'm gonna keep going. And the darks was called night, and then there was an evening, and there was a morning, and the 1st day, and God said, let there be an expanse. He's proclaiming to himself, let there be an expanse. That's the universe. Let there be an expanse. So does that mean God, what was God before the expanse? Did God remain, as he was, after, after the expanse? All I believe, the only thing that makes God different before and after, creation, and our, Our evolution is that he has to suffer, is to infinitely suffer, That he born, he born fallible beings in his image. Based on his image. And that he must forgive us, To remain infallible. Because why would a god? Why would God? create something in his own image. And not hold it to a higher standard. My opinion, that's why Jesus died for a sin. I think that acknowledges, I think that acknowledges that... before, before the Son of God, sets foot, that, that is the incubator of the expanse. Earth is within the incubator of these fans. For the Son of God, the manifest, and there's such thing as called as the Messiah complex. I had it. Don't have it anymore. Um, Is that, um, it's a, it's a syndrome of delusion. To believe you are the son of God, is a syndrome of delusion. And Um, why is that palatable? Why is that palatable in the expanse? Because... Because our imperfection, our imperfection, our imperfection, is challenged by doubt. Our imperfection is challenged by doubt. Our imperfection is challenged by doubt. When people cast doubt on God, no. They cast out on imperfection. Their own imperfection. It's a projection of what they can understand. onto something they hope doesn't exist, and that's a religion of atheism. I don't care. Like, I don't care, but come to me, say, look, maybe a few things. don't care. Go, go away. Go away. This is not for you. I do this that says my conscience. This is not for you. Fuck off. This fans had separated the water under, I say, flow. Separated the flow under the expanse from the flow above it. So the water traps the expanse. Water or the flow traps the expanse. Is that flow expanding? To expand or to shrink? I think there's only a point so far you can go shrinking. Maybe that's only as far as we can measure. I don't think you can infinitely shrink. At least not without the creativity to know that. In an expanse, in an ever shrinking expanse, um, you create a well. A wall of darkness, of deep darkness. And the water and the flow spills from the mouth. So the well of darkness is drinking. So instead of taking water from the well, the well is drinking in the float. I was having over the waters. And it was so... God called the expanse sky, and there was evening, and there was morning, the second day. And God said, let the water, the flow under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear. And it was soaked. God called the dry ground land, and the gathered waters he called seas, and God saw that it was good. Then God said, let the land produce vegetation. So, my previous interpretation, that I believe that the affirmative, I don't think, was there yet, the firmament is a political divide that is a political divide in the mind that separates your truth from my truth. And the political divide is harmony, because it sees both sides of the aisle. But has no, has only well wishes. Only one wishes. I pray that you can result this. But in move that, I won't, I won't listen to both sides. Gripe about the other. That's fun for me. That'd be my idea of heaven. Just, just to know to be a mediator, to mediate, as a, as a positive, to me, as a positive influence, between 2 selfish sides of a coin. Two selfish sides of the coin. So now it talks about, this all, I'm talking about the charting of the mind. The charting of the mind. The mind, if you think of the darkened day, uh, Dude. Can't say. I can't say if God had a mind. What would the mind consist of? The mind would consist of, it would not deviate. So there's no, there's just straight connections, straight connections without deviation. Because there's no, there's no uh, flesh to rot. And there's no indecision. It's just straight pads to and from. Everything. Every little thing of everything. Forever. Just perfectly, uh, uh, architecture. To know that the flow will be drunk, by the well of darkness, by the well of darkness, that the land produce. Now we're talking about land and vegetation and seas. So what would be interesting that, that whole part, about the likeness and darkness, had everything do with the brain tissue? developing the brain tissue, and then the next thing, what you would naturally think would follow would maybe be the body. The muscles, the organs, the blood. The mucus, whatever. His next choice was to create land, sea, and vegetation. So, Earth left on its own accord. Thows to nature. The land vows, the earth vows to nature. Where's the brain bowel to? Should the brain bow to nature? Or has politics, or religion, or science, or or delusion? Separate us from nature. Separate us from nature. And that could be in part a root of, of the, the doubt. Doubt, the doubt? That... we ignore, that that we ignore, the fact that... We can only see God through our flaws. The people that doubt, unless you got through the flaws. Why'd you make this? Why'd you make this? For someone that says, Fuck God. Why did you make this? Why did you make me like this? How would God respond? I'm sorry. But I made the choice to create. In fact, I wasted no time. In an instant, I knew that I chose to suffer. God chooses to suffer. You gotta be watch about that shit. Thank God. God was willing to be infallible. by suffering. So that we have a chance to reach heaven. I'm never gonna get a suit, Captain. I can't. I am not a priest, man. I not an evangelist. There's so much in Genesis one. I can't even get through it. Maybe that's all this is. I go through Genesis one. Because it's just, it's the beginning. If you're gonna have questions, it's the beginning. What's the point of going through the rest of this? If I can't make sound sense out of the 1st chapter, the 1st verse. I mean, for how many, two, how many? So there's 31 verses. I don't know if we're gonna get through it. Well, that's it for today. Thanks for, uh, tuning in or not, whatever. I don't give a shit.</span></div></div>                </div>            </div>        </div></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genesis 1 continued...Part 3]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/genesis-1-continuedpart-3]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/genesis-1-continuedpart-3#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Sun, 06 Aug 2023 19:09:55 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/genesis-1-continuedpart-3</guid><description><![CDATA[ 					 						 						 						 						 							#wsite-video-container-864519849108777820{ 								background: url(//www.weebly.com/uploads/b/109078421-694187140120234504/genesis_1_part_3_996.jpg);

The slow start to read the Bible. So... where we left off, and where we're continuing from, is Genesis the first book, Genesis chapter one. We got as far as verse 7, and we're still there. I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna read from one, and I get to seven, and if I can reconcile what it is, we'll move them. Okay? We want to get through at least chapter one, maybe in this video. There we go. In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form and void, and the darkness was upon the face of the deep. Deep, and the Spirit of God moved upon the face, the waters. There's no light yet. Iris said, how can you reflect? You invented light yet, 'cause you've had no need to, 'cause you're gone, and that's all that exists. Does that mean, well, God didn't need light? To be content without a universe. to be content without a universe. You would think a perfect being would just be content. Being God without an universe, to oversee. If we are made in his image, Does that mean that...? Are we...? Are we informed of his image, but adapted to the universe? So maybe God, Luciously, he's a biped, she's a biped, whatever. don't care. It's a biped. Does God require breathing? Does God require light? Maybe all these senses. God is a sense. God is a sense. God is a reflection of our senses. Does that make sense? God is a reflection of our senses. Our eyes, our nose, our mouth, and ears, and touch, and hate. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. What does waters mean? Do we mean water? Water? On the face of the flow, and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the flow, it may be just another way of maybe trying to express what's being said here, the flow. Because the flow could be visual, it could be tactile, like the wind brushing your face, float, fluidity. Seems like a modern word. Fluidity. I don't know. That's how I'm gonna interpret this. And then with reflection, again, because we're dominated by our eyes. The pastor, they talked about the eyes being... casting darkness. 'Cause our eyes don't work. We see... we see the light, but we got the source. You see the light, but we got the source. This is like, but I doubt the source. But there's light. You can see, you can see. You can see, you can see. See? Yeah, but I doubt the source. I thought it's a source. It's a reflection of the water. It's the reflection of the float. The reflection of the flow. Not a reflection. The reflection. I reflect on the flu. I reflect on the flow. Why does God need to reflect on the flow? Passing time. I just wonder how long it was until God... was no longer content. with isolation. Can God feel isolated? Can go, be isolated, and be okay with that. I can only understand my feeble mind that God is isolated. Before the universe was created, God was isolated. So it was just a matter of time, because God, it got even experienced time. There was no time before him. So it had to be a... instant. Big bang. There was nothing... There was nothing before God. There was nothing before God. And God said, Let there be light, and there was light. God saw the light, and it was good. So once God invented light, in an instant, he developed eyes, I guess... in his design, to us. For us. And God divided the light... from darkness. So the darkness is behind their eyes into our soul. You see, the light, when we got the source, and it's that dowering of the source, even though we see it. cast darkness into our soul into our being. Hey, God called the light day and the morning were the first day. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters and let it divide the waters from the waters. So how I would reward it. And God said, let there be a firmament in the midst of the flow, and let the divide, and let it divide the flow from the flow. So, cup. Showman makes like a cup, a cup of tea. And God sips the tea. That could be a black hole. It's like, imagine if the universe was tea. Okay? And the firmament was a mug. Yeah? And then God's placing of the lips to the lip of the mug, sucking in the tea. That's a black hole. So he's just being creative with... making good choices in lieu of originality, but trying to be original with your interpretations. So I would be original. Let there be a splint of truth. But there is Clifford truth. I'm not evangels. And not... not an evangelist. That's why I can't preach this book. That's why I can't get past... chapter one. I'm not preaching here. I'm, um... I'm a middle kid. Trying to... Maybe with your shoes to my kids, they're old enough, and they'll see the concerned efforts that I applied. Documenting the process of... trying to read this thing. And God made the firmament, and why did the flow, which were under the firmament, from the flow, which... the flows, which were above the firmament, and it was so... Hold on. Let's be a tournament in the midst of the flow. Let it divide the waters, the flows, flow from the floes. So it's a division. And the cup analogy is a work, 'cause it's... the cup is actually a handle with a... a circular coaster. And the team would float above, the team would float above and above, but that doesn't work. As a metaphor. It's not waters, it's flow. I could flow. And God called the firmament heaven, and beginning and the morning were the second day. So, if the firmament is the divide, what do we divide it from? Is there such a thing as good and evil? Right? All you have is your truth, my truth. That's what's being divided. Your truth versus my truth. And then the firmament. And got me the firm and the vital blah, blah, blah, and God called the firmament heaven, and the evening and the morning were the 2nd day. So, to exist in the middle, to see both sides. is heaven. Because you're no one attachment to either side. Right? You see, you can see, logically, you can see truthfully, how each side meshes. Oh, each side meshes. And that interlocking is the firmament, that interlocking is the firmament. The beginning of politics, the firmament is the true form. The firmament is the true forum of politics.</span></div></div>                </div>            </div>        </div></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genesis 1 continued...Part 2]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/genesis-1-continuedpart-2]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/genesis-1-continuedpart-2#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Sun, 30 Jul 2023 17:24:12 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/genesis-1-continuedpart-2</guid><description><![CDATA[ 					 						 						 						 						 							#wsite-video-container-247855216482334275{ 								background: url(//www.weebly.com/uploads/b/109078421-694187140120234504/genesis_1_part_2_804.jpg);

It's the... Grand Creek coming out here. All right. Got over myself. You saw the first part of... Genesis chapter 1. You'll see that I got quite clustered. And I'll tell you exactly why, not from verse 7, and it said, And God made the firmament, and divided the waters, which were under the firmament, from the waters, which were so above the ferment, and it was so. And so, if you go on Netflix, you'll see a documentary about the web telescope, how that happened, and how it's flying through space, it's documenting all these past galaxies and stars, and such like that. That's not what I think this describes. And this is where I've come back into this, where I'm starting to re push this with the imagination that I said I didn't have in the first part of Genesis chapter 1, verse 7. The simulation. I believe today, we live in a simulation, but not necessarily, it isn't gonna have to necessarily be a computer stimulation. Okay? It could be within the mind. For example. That all can exist with a simulation within a simulation, within a simulation, within a simulation, that all can exist within affirmative. Okay? So, that's what you have to understand about God is that you're only limited by your imagination. And this is why those of the science camp and of the magic camp are always frustrated by it, because... the proof, the proof in science, and the proof in magic, is that you can prove it. From other people, prove it to other people. If God, you prove to yourself, not evangelist. At least I'm not. I am not an evangelist. You understand me? Fuck you. I do this for myself. I record myself reading the Bible to keep me accountable. Okay? You don't make this shit the fuck right off. I don't want trouble. And I don't want to give trouble. Okay? A little assimilation called the firmament. Okay? Fucking exploring your heart's design. I don't give a shit. Okay? I'm not preaching this shit. You come to me. We live within a firmament. Okay? Simulation, within a simulation, with a dissimulation. How do you say, like, how do you invent the word simulation? Why not describe what the simulation is? It's the firmament. That's what this book is saying, not a Christian. I go with a Christian church, every Sunday, I go bring my family to Christian church, every Sunday, my wife grew up Christian, like Christian Christian, and, uh, I grew up, you know, like, the special holiday Catholic, you know, special holiday Catholic, up until my 20s, I split off. You know, it was this secular person, uh, loop card, as I like to call it, and, uh, you know, it just... pretty much after my psychosis in 2014. And my foray into politics in 2015, when I voted that piece of shit, Justin Trudeau. Did everything changed? Attacking paper with your disabilities, attack the paper. I'm right. Read, and you write. Read? You're right. your mouth shut. Okay? Are you still tired about this, I don't want to get through the rest of this. I just want to get that off my chest. Okay? I just want to get that off my chest. I wanted to. This is part two. It's not gonna be as long. Because your second part of verse 7 that I get stuck on. Uh, that's all I'm gonna say again. I'm a person, okay? I put this... I put this on my website like you would see my house if you were on my street. You wouldn't say to someone who sees your house, so to be, Oh, that guy wants attention. I want to see what's in his house. I wanna break into his house. No, my website is just, you got my address, get my address. Hey, move on. Parking, it should look, but don't. Oh. okay. Contact me. They'll come near me. I don't want to hear what you have to say. Just dying with your stupid eyes. That's what I'm doing.</span></div></div>                </div>            </div>        </div></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genesis 1]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/genesis-1]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/genesis-1#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Tue, 25 Jul 2023 16:55:31 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.johnralphtuccitto.com/religion/genesis-1</guid><description><![CDATA[ 					 						 						 						 						 							#wsite-video-container-948927653449926819{ 								background: url(//www.weebly.com/uploads/b/109078421-694187140120234504/the_chronic_christian__genesis_1_850.jpg);

Welcome to The Chronic Christian. So before I, as I find the first chapter, I just want to let you know up front that, um, I'm not a Christian. I go to Christian, um, church, where they preach the Bible. Um... I take my family to Christian church every week. I donate money to fish and church just about every week. Just... ew. Oh. I'm more, if you say, a sardonic poet, or an... up to chauvinist. Okay? I look at the world, and I want to see poetry. I want to see how poetic God can be. So when I read from the Bible, from the whole Bible, I read from the Christian Bible, it's to try and be poetic. That's the goal. It's not necessarily... the truth. And not necessarily, it's what is most poetic. That is the difference. So when I read this, and I come up with my interpretations, just recognize it as a form of entertainment. I'm not an evangelist. I'm not a minister, I'm not a priest. I'm not a nothing, okay? If I'm a counterfeit evangelist, you know what a counterfeit advantage this does? Does it evangelize? What I do say is that they'll take me, they'll take me on my word, okay? I'm doing this to clear my conscience. I need to read as much of this as possible. And this is how I'm doing this. I'm holding myself accountable. It's available to be viewed, although I don't advertise my site or my content. So it just, like, you have a house, right? My house is not invisible. If you walk on my street, you will see my house. Should you say, Oh, look at him. He was in imitation. It's a fucking house. Okay, have a dress. I have a phone number, I have an email address. I was that any different? Okay? I don't.. It's no different. So if you, if you don't like what I do, is not an excuse to come pipe on my house or something. or whatever, okay? It's just, I'm clear of my conscience. That's all I'm doing. Okay? Put on the conscience, trying to get, understand how Christian Christianity interprets God. God. So here we go. This is my second take on it, 'cause I had technical issue. I really like the first take, but there's nothing I can do about that. So just do a second, first take. And we chapter one of Genesis, and each video will be a chapter, from now until however long I go. Chapter one, Genesis. In the beginning, God prayed the heaven and the earth. So right now... there's no... you can't see it. This is just... So can God manifest thought? Does God think, or does he clearly know? God is unknowing, omnipotent. He spark, spark consciousness to life, to not be lonely anymore. The consequence of creation is the heartbreak that the universe, while perfect, is flawed. And to remain infallible, he must forgive us for our sins. When we ask for it, Jesus died for ourselves, for the sins that ensure God's infallibility. Prior to that, um, the pain was too great. for God. Before Jesus came, uh... It was a name of God. And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. So, before anything is even created, it's dark and deep. Just like this. So right now, when I think, I don't have to visualize my thinking. I don't like to visualize my thinking. I can, but I don't require a situation. I don't need... I don't need visual. I don't need necessarily a visual to stimulate the mind. That's what thinking is. It's beyond the visual. It's, like, you couldn't see. I'm start working on your... How does your brain work? How do you... This is God right now. Let's just pretend I'm good. Okay? This is all he sees. He's getting cranated yet. He's not creating it. He's creating it. So this is all I see, he's already done... He is not set. Let there be light yet, so it's this. It only has darkness and deep, deep and dark. In the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters, So again. So again, there's no light. Water can exist in darkness. But there's no light. The gods said the light that it was good. God said not to be light, and there was light. And God sent the light that it was good, and God divided the light from the darkness. So there's darkness, create light. So darkness, and then everything was light, and then she divide the light from the darkness. Okay. To divide the light from darkness, um... when light, overright dark, or would it blend? So it was a gray? Or an off colour? Did it dissolve, or did it... was it like a bite fornication, or the division? And God called like day, and the darkness is called night, and the evening and the morning were the first day. And God said, let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. God made the firmament, and divided the waters from were under, from it, wait, waters which were under the firmament, from the waters which were above the firmament. And it was soap. I remember this. They don't have this diagram anymore. It's affirmative words like this, and it's from under water, so it rains, and stuff like that. Yeah. And that has to be wrong. Let's say it's wrong. They, uh, the author of Genesis... The author of Genesis... was that their way... of understanding God's order? Did God actually say that? It was meant to be poetic, or was it meant to be, like, nature? This is the nature of what I've created. It really paints me into a corner. I like the imagination. to... to accept them. God made the firmament, and the bite of the waters, which were under the firmament, from the waters, which were above the firmament, as it was so. We're not even... seven lines in versus in. And I'm calling bullshit. This is such a wacky choice. Um... I'm I'm one to entertain conspiracy. Um... You know, I went down the rabbit hole, the flat earth stuff, and ultimately, I would have to go into space. I would have to go into space. to see for myself. That's how, how, uh, narratives have really muddied the waters. for me I just, like, I need to see from my own eyes, I need to see from my own eyes, because this... I can't even read. There's a fit my model. The firmament, as it's described in the bottom, doesn't fit my model. The only way I can see it be is kind of like a well. A well. And... um... the cycling. I lack the imagination. to... to see beyond that. Let's say it's true. But it's true. Somehow, I just can't I can't connect with us. Let's just say, that's true. That's God's word, that's what he made. That's what this is. Um... Why, why keep this from us? Why not make it clear? Why are there fields of study that go out of the way to explain the mysteries religion can't? In my, in my introspection, my studying my contemplation, there's only one reason I can think of. My guy keeps... doesn't reveal himself, doesn't reveal what would just make it all abundantly clear that God is real, and this is his kingdom. God must not be bored. It's the reason why God's part is the life. He was bored, lonely, miserable. He was the neediness. through God. Through our neediness, we understand God before creation. and neediness. Isn't it awful? Can you imagine a God being needy? So he's like, I know that the consequence of creation is heartbreak. I know it's, like, pick your poison, but I want children. I want children. I want stars. What's the difference between children and stars to go? Nothing. Shine just as bright. So... If God created everything, God created everything. He created everything. Right? That amuses him. To know that... he who can remain infallible as long as he forgives you. So long as he forgives you. You ask for it, he forgives you. Jesus died for your sins. Okay? And entertainment. God needs to be entertained by the universe. Pick your poison. I'll try reading past that, I'll try and get through the chapter, but I don't know, man. And God called the firm in heaven, and the evening and the morning were the second day. God said, let the waters under the heaven be gathered together, unto one place, and let the dry land appear, and it was so, under the heaven, oh, because heaven is this. That was above the wall. Yeah, let's check it out. Can't do it anyway. Are you there? That's enough. Leo!ia?</span></div></div>                </div>            </div>        </div></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
