Stubbornness

Stubbornness could be a quality I would give if someone asked me to describe the pharaoh. However, what is stubbornness? Is the quality or state of being stubbornly inflexible. He made his people suffer, because he did not want to let Israeli people leave, he was being inflexible. “Pharaoh’s hearts, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land.” (Exodus chap. 9) Why not, the Pharaoh does not like them anyway, what is the problem. Is it he wants for his people to suffer the ten plagues of Egypt, well it looks like it. This reminds of a movie we saw last year, with the religion teacher the reaping, but instead of analyzing the movie as we are in class, we analyzed it different about faith and religion. What I would I hate most if were alive during the plagues, would be lice. Lice is a horrible animal that sticks in your head, if you think about it I would not like any of the plagues, maybe the last one, but no I would miss allot my brother.
How can a person be so selfish and let people suffer, I would never wish to anyone what those poor people had to go through, and if it did happen to me I would be a rebel against the Pharaoh. Now days, People would kill for pride I could say it is important in my life but I would not kill for it.

Wo, Is Who? Confused, So Am I...

The LORD and God, are two different people no matter what said about them being the same, we have discussed this in class, their difference. However, as I read exodus I found something that was very interesting, as LORD appeared to Moses “I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.”(Exodus chapter 4, 6)
You can see, during Moses talking to the lord sometimes they change Lord to god, which proves exactly my point. They are to different people, and as they changed, you notice that the change was due to the words that they were saying. Therefore, god did not speak to Moses but was the one, that gave him the power and, LORD did to speak to Moses. I found this quite curious, for the fact that there is more to the bible than what meets the eye, which is what we have been studying but I had never paid attention. Exodus being, somewhat different than Genesis, I find it that is more profound, it looked to me that Genesis was a list of events as for Exodus, being an epic.

“And God spake unto Moses, and he said unto him, I am the LORD.” (Exodus, chapter 6, 2) what? Came to my mind as I read this part, how is this possible, I had already identified that LORD and god were different people. Then I remembered what priests say that, god and the Holy Spirit, and Jesus are the same person. Can this be possible? We have a god with multiple personalities. I now realize that god has different sides, viewed by different people, like Christians see god as the messiah, but the Muslims see him as a prophet. He did the same things but we take the things as we want to, as it suits our lifestyle

Live His Way

After Noah’s arc God decided not punish anymore, well Noah’ arc was a fresh start were God learned from his what so called “mistakes” he decided to give people a chance and let them start growing. “And the LORD said, behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.” He could not let us be animals for the rest of life, he had to lets us grow, but his way. “Now the lord had said unto Abraham, get thee out if thy country, and from they kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee.”
This is the part of the bible were we comprehend that God is the ultimate power, and that the earth is his world and we have to live it as he wishes, in order for us to know he uses messengers as Abraham, were he would show us the promised land.
As I understood it, God realized we are a superior race, but need guidance and god is our guidance, that is why we have the Ten Commandments the set of rules.

Poem

The Sistine chapel there it is
Up above in the sky,
It has a certain mist,
That makes all cry.

Nobody knows what Michangelo did
But it sits on the wall
It made some persons lid
And now it makes us crawl

Why?

Wisdom is the ability to discern or judge what is true, right, or wrong, a wise outlook, plan, or course of action. If this is so, Adam and Eve found what is called wisdom they out looked and saw what more than what they could see, “And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. “ Why is it wisdom punished? Now days we admire wisdom, when you have it people look upon you. Why was it punished, what were LORD GOD’s intentions? Why did he cursed us all “And the LORD GOD said unto the serpent, because hast done this thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life.”
If wisdom is admired why, did god did not admire it too. It looks like if, we had never eaten of the tree, we would be no different from animals. Did God want us to be animals? Was he afraid we would gain more power than what he has?
Wisdom is what divides us from animals, should we see God as the humans’ god or the world’s god? If we see it as the human’s god, we are mistaken because according to the bible he did not want us to be any different from animals. What would have happened, if an animal eat of the tree?

i am a symbol of what?

“Blackness as well established as a mark of vice.” What does this mean? A color, is a symbol for a feeling a situation, is it weird? I can sometimes associate my life with, a situation, color, or someone, to express myself better. In the past when they said, “The plot and plotters were black foul accursed locus from the nethermost” they meant that, someone or something was so bad that they could not be expressed with words they had to be a mark, now days when we see someone as a bad person we call them a dark person we call them a dark person. This kind of things are the things we keep from the past the ability to separate people. In other words if we see through history there is a proof of division, not necessarily racism but division. Like a school, my friends are the ones that look most like me, mostly everybody’s friend look like them (not physically but mentally) that is division, it is an ability to distinguish those difference and the likeness on other people. If I see the color dark, it causes me a sad feeling or anger so people that are like that can be a symbol for that color.

Differences can be seen as good but when we separate we can get to the point of racisms where if was asked I could say that racism started form this ability. Someone just could not stand the idea of difference in the world. For me to live well we need to difference because I would not like a world were everybody thought the same way looked the same way it would just end the fun of life.

my way is not the right

I can sometimes be dim sighted, I have my eyes open but I do not use them. It is as if I only see what is wanted to see. When I think something is right even if I am wrong, it is right for me until something I later suffer consequences. I am focused on my believes and it is a mistake because we have to be open minded like as said in gods secretaries “A new king meant a new world” it means that sometimes if we open our minds the world can change and be easier. To stop myself from doing this mistake y often ask people what to they think about my way, and if they give any suggestions I consider on taking them. That way i can change my rigidness. I am very stubborn too because sometimes I do not want to hear the suggestions so I just blow them off which is also a mistake because my way is not always right. I am not the only one to make this mistake, many people make it but what happens when you correct it? “More then we can perhaps realize now, a change in monarch in an age of personal rule meant not only a change of government and policy, but a change of culture, attitude and belief.”
We change our way of seeing life we open our eyes and use them. We do not stay half-neither awake nor half-sleep we are how we should be. At least I learn something every day to see that I have to stop evaluate myself and correct mistakes.
