OnePassenger Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Moin, how we say in Hamburg, Germany. One might get the meaning of what I wanna say. God is the Almighty, and what can I say more? I've tried to improve my English, and I hope I haven't wasted my time. I hopefully guess I haven't. Is there any way to deny God's almightyness - yes there is - to deny the way HE cares for us? Be aware, be aware. The Fallen Angel never sleeps. Amen.

anatess2 Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Welcome OnPassenger! I work for a German corporation but I can't speak German... to the frustration of my workmates. They put up with me because the first time Euro Cup happened after I joined their workplace, my team - Spain - beat the heck out of the Germans and I didn't rub it in their faces... I consoled them in their time of grief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not screwed up, it's just German, like English "welcome" zil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Spanish!!! Welcome! Spanish is a great language. In Hamburg we usually speak Spanish in the morning, French for dinner, and the propeths' or celestial language, as Brigham Young once was confirmed to speak by Joseph Smith, in the evening. Between all that we speak German, quite a primitive language - just not to be unmentioned. 🤨 Edited September 19, 2018 by OnePassenger zil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what means doing? Jesus once said that if your thoughts were bad (you certainly know that citation) , you practise adultery only by this, for example. It starts with your thoughts. When your thoughts are good, in harmony with God, and you were too weak to bring your ideas into practice, nevertheless, wouldn't that be good? We should take a further view of that what we call reality. Thoughts are real. Reality might be thoughts. Our dreams seem to be irrational, but within our dreams we sometimes are close to God - sometimes close to HIS fallen son - and in the last case those dreams are the best ones to wake up from as early as you can. Amen. Edited September 19, 2018 by OnePassenger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speak in German, the celestial language. doing = tätigen...? Too much of an honor. Maybe the clever language, as far as a language can be clever... 😀 What I mean is that behind a seemingly good deed there can be a bad intention. By the way, reduced to the fundamental level of this universe, which is the quantum world, thoughts are not so different from deeds. Both are meaningless constellations, maybe swinging patterns that have no particular significance in that hidden world of events.
