There are two other misconstructions in the bible that need brought to our attention for the purpose of this writing. It is important to recognize these misconstructions so that they don't silently creep in when we hear Truth and contaminate our perception of what is being said or conveyed to us when we receive Guidance and Direction from the Father.

The first misconstruction is in the concept of a garden.

The first time we are introduced to a garden is in genesis 2. Western civilization is very familiar with this garden. It is the garden of eden, a garden that was created by a "lord god" and upon which man was placed as a servant. A garden in which trickery and deception existed and from which man was cast out after falling for the very trickery this "lord god" created in the first place.

The next garden of interest is introduced in the New Testament. It is the garden of Gethsemane. As Linda pointed out to me, this is a garden of sorrow, the garden where Jesus goes to pray before he allows himself to be sold to the world and sacrificed according to his "father's will".

You may have noticed the common theme in these gardens: deception and death. In the first garden Adam and Eve accept death when they eat of the fruit. In the second garden Jesus accepts death because he thinks the Father wants him sacrificed.

This leads to the second misconstruction in the Bible. The understanding of the Father Which Is in Heaven with whom Jesus is said to have been of one a-chord.

Linda and I have written extensively regarding the Father Which Is in Heaven and His Way. It is with this Father she and I seek to commune and be of one a-chord each and every day. It is this Father Who Shares the Knowledge of which we speak and it is from this Knowledge and perhaps limited experience of Him and His Way, that we Know free of any doubt, that Father would never have anyone sacrificed in any way, whether for His own Glory or for the benefit of anyone else. Pain, sorrow, famine, flagellation, torture, sacrifice, death... they all lead to darkness, death, decay, and destruction. One will never find the Father through such experiences. It wouldn't surprise me if this is why Jesus felt abandoned at the cross. Perhaps this is the real moral of the crucifixion: sacrifice leads to failure and death.

Many People have left the church and religion because they recognize that something is wrong with this idea of a Father that would sacrifice his own son and spill his blood to save so called sinners. Yet they fail to recognize that this deception is still clouding their Vision because it does not allow them to accept the very basic Reality of the Father Which Is in Heaven. Yes, the Father is Real, but He is not as depicted in the bible. You can't reconcile Truth with deception. You can't hold on to some parts of the deception that are closer to Truth while tossing the others and hope to see Clearly. Thus the need to toss both the dirty water and the baby.

This slight shift in perception allows us to see the Reality of the Father anew and with Clarity. The Reality of the Father is Life. It is Joy, Peace, Harmony, Love of Self, Health, Strength, Abundance, and Nourishment that lead to the Father, His Presence, and His Blessings.
