It was pretty compelling. A lot of the dialogue is as good as Shakespeare. He tells Peter he will deny him three times before the cock crows. Peter denies him three times and right after the third one he hears the rooster.
Lol i said "fuckin LOVE IT"
Then when Jesus came back he asked him three times if he loved him and told him three times to take care of his flock. It's shakespeare.
Focused a lot on the words of Jesus, trying to figure out why a God would say these things. I did get a sense of frustration that the Creator would have with the limitations of language.
We possibly think too much of a Reward, and we think God wants Glory, which is also a reward.
I do want to glorify God more in my music but I do not believe anything requires the glory. I do think the Creator wants us to know how good everything is and to celebrate it. But that is for us. I had visions of a god who would never think of Glory but would however come here to help us. And while I do think this place filters bad Souls away from the source, I do not think Love has much to do with it. And as for the reward we experience the Reward every second. I don't need promises of anything else. Yes I would like to be in touch with the source forever. So I will try not to fall away
I was raised Baptist. When you are God's child, you suffer when you sin. Sometimes we can manage to gloss over sin's suffering with distractions, but ultimately, they will have to be faced. And cry bitterly we do.
Without Jesus' intercession, you won't be able to stand before the atom-exploding presence of God. That's pretty alien to us of limited capabilities. Jesus translates God's expectations of us and wants of us what any Parent wants from His child. Obedience. Not because He wants the glory or He is a control freak, but because He loves His creation and knows what will happen if we do the stupid things. We lie even to ourselves. I don't want to sin because I honestly don't want to displease Him, dishonor Him. I'm just so glad I lived long enough to understand the little I do.
