[Note: To Bible passages, I apply Genesis-1 perspective. I think Genesis 1:28, in the-metaphysical-Jesus perspective (JESUS), given each 1) mysterious-God, offering appreciation to human being (verb) and 2) JESUS, offering “my peace”, suggests that: Male unites-to female human-being (noun) and their spouse-hood pursues comprehensive-safety& security to the living species and to the earth (SECURITY). Every person can& may accept personal duty to SECURITY. Some persons neglect, partially or wholly, God-appreciation, JESUS-my-peace& SECURITY.
I call
Genesis-1’s message, “responsible-human-independence” or RHI. A few
human-beings throughout history seemed to practice, facilitate, and encourage
RHI; for example, Albert Einstein. The RHI-individuals from the past are our
friends and the others, not so much. I think the authentic-Jesus practiced,
facilitated, and encouraged RHI. But I don’t know the-ineluctable-truth.
“Ineluctable” means: not to be avoided, changed, escaped, neglected, or
resisted.
Persons
appreciating contemporary human being (verb), during each generation, develop
the-metaphysical-Jesus I advocate. In other words, I attribute to JESUS the
civic-appreciation that human being (verb) applied “before Abraham was born”
and since then. “Civic” means reliable-in human connections& transactions
more than compliant-to municipal rules. Given the question, “Was Jesus a man?”,
my response, “I don’t know, yet value JESUS”, seems sufficient& complete to
my person. There’s joy in accepting that I don’t know, seeking
ineluctable-evidence, and reserving humility.
It
seems the-laws-of-physics (PHYSICS) constrains the consequences of each
person’s choices. I choose to accept God’s appreciation
and pursue JESUS’ “my-peace”, in order to commit-to and
trust-in PHYSICS. For example, I work for food& shelter
rather than accept what a bureaucrat might provide. I work to aid SECURITY rather
than pray for
human-duty usurpation.]
1 I cried out to God [not “the Lord God” of Genesis
2?] for help;
I cried out to God to hear me.
2 When I was in distress, I sought the Lord;
at night I stretched out untiring hands,
and I would not be comforted.
3 I remembered [I doubt the-God responds with
favor to lapses in appreciation. In other words, the Psalmist offers bad
influence, including the “groan”. If a person views consequences of
the-laws-of-physics as the object of choice& action, all the while
accepting the-God’s appreciation of human being (verb), they may find appreciation
in their self-interest.] you, God, and I groaned;
I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.
4 You
kept my eyes from closing [It’s up to the-God-psychology to open them?];
I was too troubled to speak.
5 I thought about the former days,
the years of long ago;
6 I remembered my songs in the night.
My heart meditated and my spirit asked:
7 “Will the Lord reject forever?
Will he never show his favor again?
8 Has his unfailing love vanished forever?
Has his promise failed for all time?
9 Has God forgotten to be merciful?
Has he in anger withheld his compassion?”
10 Then I thought, “To this I will appeal:
the years when the Most High stretched out his
right hand.
11 I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
yes, I will remember your miracles of long
ago.
12 I will consider all your works
and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”
13 Your ways, God, are holy.
What god is
as great as our God? [This seems an argument in the transition from
polytheism to atheism. However, the tribal competitiveness leads to chaos
within monotheism. There’s further chaos due to factions within each monotheistic
culture.]
14 You are the God who performs miracles;
you display your power among the peoples.
15 With your mighty arm you redeemed your people,
the descendants of Jacob and
Joseph [The divisiveness is counter to the laws of
physics.].
16 The waters saw you, God,
the waters saw you and writhed;
the very depths were convulsed.
17 The clouds poured down water,
the heavens resounded with thunder;
your arrows flashed back and forth.
18 Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind,
your lightning lit up the world;
the earth trembled and quaked.
19 Your path led through the sea,
your way through the mighty waters,
though your footprints were not seen.
20 You led your people like a flock
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
[I won’t
try to refute miracle claims, except to say that, for example, rather than pray
for relief from the U.S. west’s many fires, citizens would do well to manage
dead-wood fuel and tree-density within the forests.]
