Kiddo,
Thank you for your observation that there are things that I am saying that are also in the bible.
But , you see, I had no scholarly knowledge of the bible when I went on the Road. Neither did those with me. I am telling here what I remember what was said to me, as I remember it. I am not quoting the bible.
One does not have to be a bible scholar to walk the Road. If you had to be a bible scholar to do so, then God would not be a just God for then only people that were bible scholars could go on the Road. And some people can not read. Befor the printing press in 1500, few could read and there were few bibles.
I had a rudimentery knowlege of what most had of some of the psalms and prophets and the well-known storys of Noah, Adam and Eve, Jonah and David and Samson and such. I had never read beyond the psalms and the prophets.
But when I was on the Road, the Rider told us, "Come into Me ,all you that labor....and I will give you rest." All that labor could include those that can not read. And I found out that God communicates with people besides by the written word.
When I was in the City of Peace, the Rider said to me, "Behold, I stand at the Gate and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the Gate, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne."
