deep thoughts

was readin a bit of "mere Christianity" by CS Lewis a bit about the personality of God and the phrase "God is Love" The Father and Son are in a constantly moving developing loving relationship like a wild beautiful dance and the Spirit is the spirit of this love, and that is what is inside us as Christians!! and all we have to do is chill submit and let the Spirit transform us. it might not be much written down by in my head its very exciting.



i always thought of God and Jesus as fixed and kind of sparate in heaven, umoving, but this idea of thier reality is amazing, and it makes sense cause think of two people who love each other passionately, (can be parental love, friendship love or man woman love) they dont just sit there they are always chasing after a deeper relationship changing moving sweeping things up along the way.



it also makes be think on Neo and Trintiy in the new Matrix they are totally dependant on the love they share each of them draws strenght from their love and will do anything for it, although it is expressed in a particularly sexual way, it appear to have echo's of Jesus and God's relationship,
particularly, when they arrive back to Zion, they come out of a lift and Neo stops to heal the sick and basically minister to the people who await him, later when he sees trintiy again,
Trinity - "They need you Neo"

Neo- "I need you Trinity"

The policeman got out of his car and the lad who was stopped for speeding rolled down his window. "I've been waiting for you all day," the policeman said.

The lad replied, "Yeah, well I got here as fast as I could." When the policeman finally stopped laughing, he sent the lad on his way without a ticket.

A lorry driver was driving along. A sign comes up that reads "low bridge ahead." Before he knows it the bridge is right ahead of him and he gets stuck under the bridge. Cars are backed up for miles. Finally, a police car comes up. The policeman gets out of his car and walks around to the lorry driver, puts his hands on his hips and says, "Got stuck?"

The lorry driver says, "No mate, I was delivering this bridge and ran out of petrol."

here i the bit i mean, nehemiah 13v15 >
15During those days, while back in Judah, I also noticed that people treaded wine presses, brought in sacks of grain, and loaded up their donkeys on the Sabbath. They brought wine, grapes, figs, and all kinds of stuff to sell on the Sabbath. So I spoke up and warned them about selling food on that day. 16Tyrians living there brought in fish and whatever else, selling it to Judeans--in Jerusalem, mind you!-on the Sabbath.
17I confronted the leaders of Judah: "What's going on here? This evil! Profaning the Sabbath! 18Isn't this exactly what your ancestors did? And because of it didn't God bring down on us and this city all this misery? And here you are adding to it--accumulating more wrath on Jerusalem by profaning the Sabbath."
19As the gates of Jerusalem were darkened by the shadows of the approaching Sabbath, I ordered the doors shut and not to be opened until the Sabbath was over. I placed some of my servants at the gates to make sure that nothing to be sold would get in on the Sabbath day.
20Traders and dealers in various goods camped outside the gates once or twice. 21But I took them to task. I said, "You have no business camping out here by the wall. If I find you here again, I'll use force to drive you off."
And that did it; they didn't come back on the Sabbath.
22Then I directed the Levites to ceremonially cleanse themselves and take over as guards at the gates to keep the sanctity of the Sabbath day.
Remember me also for this, my God. Treat me with mercy according to your great and steadfast love.
