Silver and gold

Yesterday, and today as well, Im feeling a bit depressed due to hormones. So in have been online a bit more. And a bit more than usual in the past couple of weeks. It has made me write more.

Online yesterday I discovered things that were new to me. And it has had me engaged in new thoughts. I saw that the ancients had seven metals assigned to seven planets and that was pretty enlightening because then I thought about their having no idea what a planet was, amd how the sun and moon were as planet like as Mars. At the end there I thought, "can I capitalize Mars? And look moon and sun are small..."

That was an interesting thought. Then with the progression of things I wandered back into religion, starting to think of evil and good as I found a verse in the Bible which struck on a certain premise, which I have been examining lately. The 10 Commandments is on and since I have been with my mother lately, she has reminded me that the commandment to photo your parents promises long life 

So I read about wisdom and good and evil in the last lines of Hosea and that was sitting atop all the piles of thoughts. 

It says that sinners stumble when they walk in goodness.

I have been arguing with people for years about modern philosophy. What has been interesting and I can say I challenged even old theology on this one this morning, is that there is no such thing as good. It would be theologically aound in Genesis. It is no longer sound after Christ.

My misunderstanding is not that people do not have the blood of Christ to cover them or the spirit to guide them. I was concerned with the work we have to do. Like caring for the poor.

It was a lot of what I gleaned from parables, and even prophets, that these things are first things. So along with original sin was toil. And I even spoke with a Christian, a non catholic, who said something about his spirit being complete through God's Grace. But I found it to be lacking in love.

Well, what we have is a dilemma. But all the pieces are there. I'll be thinking on these things.
