The Purpose of Life
The Catholic purpose of life is to know God, love God and obey God. However,
Pope Francis, wrongly said it was, "to serve the other." I am High Priest of
God's official temple and I say the purpose of life is to do continual offerings
to God like Cain and Abel and enjoy God's response. Francis has a charity; I
have a church. Jesus said loving God was more important than loving neighbor.
Matthew,22:35-40 And, He did not say with half your brain behind your back.
You don't know God. 1 Chronicles,28:9-9, Matthew,11:27-27, Luke,13:25-27,
1 Samuel,3:6-8 You must talk with God to know Him. With Samuel, supposedly,
God took the initiative, but I think that is the exception. Seek the Lord by
taking the initiative. Luke,11:9-10
There's something obviously different about people in the Bible compared to
people today – God talked! Also, the people in the Bible were obsessed with
doing offerings all the time. It is required that you do offerings before God
will talk. Did the people in the Bible hear voices? Maybe. More likely, they
used occult techniques such as an oracle. 1 Kings,6:21 Have you heard of
"tongues?" 1 Corinthians,14:1-40 The idea is, you let yourself be puppeted by
a spirit, so you say things. You try to get a spirit – the Holy Spirit – to
talk. You might as well use a Ouija board. However, it turns-out that a Ouija
board is bad for technical reasons. A really good technique is just randomly
opening a book. God told me in an oracle that it is a covenant that you hold-up
your end of the conversation.
You can't tell if God's talking unless you have a context of conversation, but,
more importantly, you are commanded to do an offering of love, like communion
preparation. 1 Corinthians,11:27 When you pick a greeting card for someone,
that is love effort. If you expect God to put effort toward you, you must put
effort toward Him. God said, "honest measures" applies between your offering of
love and His response, like a fair barter. You get out of prayer what you put
into it. God wants praise, hymns, or whatever you think He might want. Try and
see, like Cain and Abel. Genesis,4:1-10, Ephesians,5:10 God told Cain his
offering was not good and told him to try again. Cain really loved God! Can
you imagine being so heart-broken?
Do a text search for "new song" in the Bible. It's mentioned nine times. When
I hear a NEW awesome rock song, it is ecstasy for the first five times I hear
it. Soon, it brings little-to-no pleasure. I did hymns for God. I also did
Moses comics for God. When you get to the gates of Heaven, St. Peter will ask
how many times you gave blood. That shows you loved neighbor. You better also
be able to count the ways you loved God with all heart, mind and soul. I
praised God for sand castles, popcorn, snowmen, bubbles… You try putting
effort into praise! Matthew,11:25, Matthew,6:28-29 Solomon wrote a thousand
songs. 1 Kings,4:30-32
This is funny – Acts,2:1-13 – they didn't bother to record anything the Holy
Spirit said. The Holy Spirit is supposed to be a really good gift.
Luke,11:11-13 Just remember, "Boys are made of snakes and snails and puppy-dog
tails."
The technique I use to consult the Holy Spirit is reading a microsecond-range
stop-watch each button press for random numbers. Then, I pick words with <F7>
or passages with <SHIFT-F7>.
Since seeking the word of the Holy Spirit, I have come to know God much better
than I've heard others explain. For example, God said to me in an oracle that
war was, "servicemen competing." That sounds more like the immutable God of our
planet than what you hear from most religious people. God is not Venus (god of
love) and not Mars (god of war), He's our dearly beloved God of Earth. If
Mammon is a false god of money, Mars or Venus might be useful words to describe
other false gods. I figure the greatest challenge for the Creator is boredom,
ours and His. What would teen-age male video games be like if war had never
happened? Christ said live by the sword, die by the sword, which is loving
neighbor as self. Matthew,26:52
I asked God if the World was perfectly just. God asked if I was calling Him
lazy. God could make A.I., right? God could make bots as smart as Himself, or,
in fact, part of Himself. What if God made a bot to manipulate every person's
life so that perfect justice happened?
I think highs and lows balance. Luke,6:20-26 If you laugh, you will cry. If
you cry, you will laugh. Not one person has had great joy and not great sorrow.
I think this claim is falsifyable if you atheists want to find a
counter-example to disprove it – find a single person who had great joy and not
great sorrow. In Sirach, it says things happen in pairs. You might be
surprised examining your own life to see great joy was in proximity to great
sorrow. Pleasures and pains seem designed to balance. Man must do manual labor
and have pain. Women must do child birth. Pride and humility also balance –
pride before a fall and humility before honors. Palm Sunday is juxtaposed to
Good Friday. Perhaps, being loved balances with being hated. Job,1:1-22, in
the Bible, had highs and lows that balanced. Joseph, in the Old Testament, had
highs and lows that balanced. Genesis,39:17-22
Jesus said, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who tresspass against
us." If you think about it, the only way you get forgiven is for it to be done
to you. That is a Jedi mind trick because it is nothing but simple eye-for-eye
tooth-for-tooth justice. Live by the sword; die by the sword. The Bible is
filled with justice pairs. St. Paul persecuted Christians and gained
forgiveness by getting persecuted. King David almost got killed by Saul,
1 Samuel,18:20-21 then he killed a guy and took his wife. 2 Samuel,11:15
Abraham almost killed his unloved son, Ishmael. Genesis,21:16 That is why God
asked Abraham to kill Isaac. God's favorite thing on TV is soap operas.

God hates complaining. Numbers,11:1-35 Food and clothing is all we're to ask
for or demand, in fact – daily bread. 1 Timothy,6:8 Just think about man in
the last 50,000 years mostly living like Native Americans and how God must see
us. You need food, clothing and entertainment, money is to get those. Man does
not live on bread alone. Luke,4:4, Amos,8:11-12
God's favorite animals are bears and elephants. They are funny shaped – I
think God must have seen too much starvation over the years. If the purpose of
life is to know and love God, then a priest's job is to make everybody know and
love God. By saying God likes bears and elephants, I did more toward that end
than all priests in history. Hosea,6:6 "It is love that I desire, not
sacrifice; knowledge of God, not holocaust." As a former Catholic, that blew my
mind. I actually thought love was sacrifice! I was so dumb-founded reading,
"it is love that I desire, not sacrifice," that I actually looked-up the word,
"love". It means to take delight in. I realized it is demonic pride if you
think love means hurting yourself for others. In the Philippians, they got the
notion crucifying yourself was a good idea. Similarly, a child thinking about
Lent, might conclude, "if it's bad, it must be good." That is, if you think God
wants you to hurt yourself to please Him, you are worshiping a demon, not God!
God wants you to take delight in His company, get to know Him and praise Him.
It is best to separate justice – sin and punishment – from relationship with
God. Never ask God to change justice into injustice by not punishing. God said
to me in an oracle, "Excessive contrician wearisome." He doesn't want to hear
confessions. When you pray, be witty and charming and rarely earnest. Enjoy
God's company without imposing on Him and don't expect secrets of the Universe.
Earnestness in prayer is the root of much evil. Be entertaining. Don't remind
Him of sin, LOL.
God's ways are far above man's ways. Mom said Heaven was a never-ending family
reunion. Yikes! A friend said, "Most guy's idea of Heaven would be running
around doing things they'd get locked up for on Earth." I wonder how long kids
play Grand Theft Auto before getting board. Perhaps, it takes ten years, but
they will get bored. Most people are like King Midas. When you realize how
silly most notions of Heaven are, you come to appreciate that Earth is not that
bad. This is the first step in loving God, the Creator – praising Creation.
My parents spend their retired days watching TV and going to casinos. That's
not a good argument for getting extended-play!
Imagine a billionare. Everyone around him can't forget his money for even a
moment. The truth is, most people are after God's "money" – they fear for
their salvation. Here's a test – would you pray to and praise God even if
there were no salvation? Love God and don't be a "user". Asking for stuff is
annoying. Luke,11:5-7 Don't SPAM God.
All those sophisticated theological "infinity" things – omniscience,
omnipotence, omnipresence, omnivorous – will mess you up. Trust me that
anthropomorphic is far better, in practice. Christ suggested thinking of God as
"Abba" which is Aramaic for "Daddy" and said the childlike had an advantage.
Matthew,11:25 Pray out-loud because God doesn't want the hastle of reading your
brain. The best way to stop people from testing God is to suggest He can't do
everything.
Jesus said, "I am meek and humble of heart." Matthew,11:29 What does "humble
of head" mean? Humble of heart means you look around and say, "I don't care as
much as they do." A proud of heart person says, "I am superior because I have
more compassion then everybody else." If you are proud of heart, you don't
accept a gift. God gives birthrights. Esau, in the Bible, scorned his
birthright and God hated him. Malachi,1:2-3 Jesus even accepted $30,000 worth
of perfume (300 day's wages) and caused Judas to betray him. Mark,14:5 If you
express false outrage at wars, you are proud of heart. If you fight to go in
the door last, e.g. "No, you first…" then you are proud of heart. If you ask
God to save starving Africans as though you care more than God, you are proud of
heart.
I connected being humble of heart with animal sacrifices. The animal sacrifices
in the Bible really seem off-the-mark from what we modern people imagine truth
to be! I asked God and He said the people were, "primitive." Well, obviously,
a sacrifice represents giving-up something of value, but is there more to it?
It would be tramatic to see a goat's throat being slit and it dying for your
sins. I'm not an expert, but sometimes they killed animals to make-up for sins.
Perhaps, starting at age eight and every year thereafter, they kill a goat for
your sins? (I'm just speculating.) In a couple years, it is not tramatic and
you yawn and say to the goat, "bummer for you, Mr. Goat, that you gotta die for
my sins." When a high school football team beats their rivals, nobody thinks
twice that the winning team really hurts the feelings – devastates – the
losing team member's feelings. The heart of being masculine is being
competetive and not caring about the necessity to slit the throat of the goat.
As a Catholic, saying Jesus died for our sins and that we cannot earn salvation,
never sat well. I clung to the heretical notion that you earn salvation.
Animal sacrifices were the heart of Biblical Judaism and although it seems
satanic, you really do have to slit the throat of the goat and accept grace, a
term for something you did not earn. Heck, every time you eat beef, a cow had
to die for you. God said to me in an oracle that having pets was, "homo." I
think God's idea of pets is farm animals you eat.
If you feel guilty for being American and want Mexicans to share your
birthright, you are proud of heart. Would it be right for rich Arabs to have to
share their oil money with Indian slaves? Jesus was a racist and called
Canaanites "dogs". Matthew,15:22-28 In an oracle, God told me He was against
immigration. The Chinese intellectuals felt bad about not being laborers.
Don't feel guilty about not being a laborer because God made it a Brave New
World. 1 Corinthians,12:1-31
In an ant colony, the workers have one set of marching orders, the soldiers have
another set of marching orders, the queen and drones have marching orders and
the diggers have marching orders. The Bible gives conflicting orders –
conservatives pay attention to one set of passages and liberals pay attention to
others. Everybody has selective hearing, but that's good because we are
different members of the body of Christ.
Jesus repeats the phrase, "for those who have ears to hear" many times. (But,
not actually at the times that matter.) Jesus says several Jedi mind tricks –
He asks, what father gives a scorpion to his son? Luke,11:11-13 Jesus says,
when you ask God for things, it is as annoying as like a neighbor in the night!
Luke,11:5-7 He said, "I came to serve" but Jesus' three years of service were
more like being a rockstar than a janitor. John,13:5-15
There are sheep and there are shepherds. You would be silly to take other
shepherds seriously when they are only caring for their sheep. Sheep are very
hard to communicate to, as Jesus learned. He used parables. Seed on a path
gets eaten by birds; weeds choke; and the one percent is rich soil.
Just as ego causes most to love neighbor, not God, people skip knowing and
loving God and cowardly get stuck on obeying Him. A desire to obey God, doesn't
have to be encouraged, since it comes so naturally. Don't worry, God does not
want pawns to push around. God will talk, but won't tell you what to do, even
if you want Him to. Also, you'll quickly learn that when God talks to you
seemingly prophetic, it does not come true and should smack yourself for wanting
more than just enjoying God's company.
