Chapter 12
Truth going forth
Cindy picks up the Bible again and start looking for her
place in Psalm 139. She finds it and starts reading again, "Yea,
the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the
day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee." She is
thinking, "Yea, Lord you see me and watch over me and I am so
thankful!" Then she looks down to read the rest of the Psalm.
"Verse 13 says, 'For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast
covered me in my mother's womb.' Joe walks back in with his big
glass of tea. "Want some, honey?" She glances up at Joe and says,
"No thanks!" and turns back to the Bible. Joe says, "Oh!, I am
sorry, I told you that you are going to finish that since I am
here to make sure of it." She looks back and smiles. "For thou
hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's
womb." Cindy is thinking, 'I wonder what that is saying?' "Thou
hast possessed my reins? I don't understand!"
Joe jumps in again. "What Cindy?" "Oh, I was just thinking out loud
Joe. I am wondering what this is saying." Joe says, "Read it to me!"
Cindy reads it again, out loud this time. "For thou hast possessed my
reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb." Joe is
thinking, "Well, Cindy let's get a dictionary and see what we
have for reins" as Joe walks over to the bookshelf. He grabs a
dictionary and looks up the word, "reins". "It says, 'a.the
kidneys b.the lower part of the back c.the feelings.' Hey
Cindy, there is a Bible verse in here too. It says, 'The
righteous God trieth the hearts and reins (Psalm 7:9)' Since the
heart has to do with the real you, the inner man and it is
normally not talking about a beating heart in the Bible so
feeling would make the most sense in the verse in the dictionary.
What about the verse in the Psalm that you are reading, Cindy?
Also see what the KJV says in that Psalm. 7:9 so we can be sure
that this dictionary is quoting from the 'correct' Bible. You remember
what Clyde told us about all the new bible versions that
are coming out, that are from the two most corrupt manuscripts,
the Siniaticus and the Vaticanus and money is the main objective
for pushing the new versions. The Christian bookstores are in it
for the money just as Planned Parenthood is into selling sex for
the money."
Cindy looks up at Joe, startled. "Why did you use Planned Parenthood?"
Joe says, "I don't know, honey! I guess when I think of money,
they are the first ones to come to mind. They are a multi-million dollar
corporation from selling sex and lies. Clyde has been telling me about
that organization and how they are selling weak birth control pills that
don't keep a woman from getting pregnant so they can abort their baby,
that's where the money is really at." Cindy says, "Okay Joe, enough of that, let's
go back to the Bible." Joe says, "Yea, you're right there. It is
super important."
Cindy tries to forget what Joe just told her and she looks up Psalm 7:9
and reads it, "Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but
establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins."
Joe is reading it in the dictionary at the same time and he says, "Well,
it is the same, they just put in the last part of the verse that talks
about the reins. Speaking of reins how is it used in the Psalm
that you are reading honey?" Cindy reads Psalm 139:13 again but
keeps going. "It says, '13 For thou hast possessed my reins:
thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in
secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in
thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were
fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great
is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the
sand: when I awake, I am still with thee." Cindy stops reading
and starts crying.
Joe jumps over the couch and sits beside her, "Cindy, what is wrong
with you?" "Joe, didn't you hear what I just read?" "Yes, honey but
why are you crying?" "Joe, listen to this again. 'I will praise thee; for
I am fearfully and wonderfully made:', do you hear that Joe?" Joe is
confused. "Yes, honey, I hear you." She keeps reading, "marvellous
are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well." By now, she is
weeping big time. Joe doesn't know what to think. "Honey, what is wrong?"
She asks Joe to keep reading it. Joe picks up the Bible and continues
to read the words of the Almighty God. "My substance was not hid
from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in
the lowest parts of the earth" Joe stops and says, "Honey, that
says to me that since we were created out of the dust of the
earth then to be created in the lowest parts of the earth, that
would be about the center of the woman's body where the baby is
being created, it is very poetic to me." Cindy is crying and Joe
keeps reading. "Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being
unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in
continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them."
Honey, it is like he is saying that God is the one who forms that
baby in the womb and he does it a step at a time. He sees us
totally complete as he is fashioning us yet we are life from the
very beginning. He has a purpose for each of us whether or not we
fulfill that purpose, he still has one. We might not look like we
do now but we are life nonetheless. Life worthly of living,
created by the God of the universe.
Joe's eyes are getting a little misty now, maybe he is beginning
to see why Cindy is crying. Joe continues to read. "How precious
also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
"If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand:
when I awake, I am still with thee." Joe stops and thinks out
loud. "It is like when Jesus hung on the cross and God's Love
(Jesus) died there but he has an undying love for us. His
thoughts are good towards us but our thoughts are negative, evil
towards him. We need him so much Cindy, we don't realize how
much, maybe we never will." Cindy throws her arms around Joe, "I
am so confused, so tired!" She just holds him and holds him and
holds him. Minutes pass like hours and Joe is wondering, "What is
going on? I like her hugging me but what is going on? What?"
