I Am the Decisions That I’Ve Made: Controversial

By Ritchie Mcphee

In writing this book, I was imagining myself living in a free World. This book was not written for anyone to subscribe to. The thoughts and expressions are just that, my thoughts and expressions, yes they belong to me. Ive always thought out of the box, and I mean out of the box without any confinements. Ive heard the expression out of the box on many occasions, but how far individuals are willing to venture out, is almost always limited.
We should all have the freedom to think, we should all have the freedom to express ourselves, and we should all have the freedom to be free. How is it that we dont want to know who are enemies are, and how is it that we want others to think for us? I am right, but Im not afraid to be wrong. In essence everything is a matter of opinion. There is no right, and there is no wrong, for we are all right, and we are all wrong. It is just our interpretation of the truth, and for a lot of us, its what we want the truth to be.

Ritchie Mcphee

My name is Ritchie C. Mcphee, born to the proud parents of Mrs. Edell Mcphee and Mr. Livingston Mcphee. I was born on the March 6th, 1966. I started writing this book about 5 years ago, and it has been a struggle because I was not prepared to write about what it was I found myself writing about. I am not really trying to be controversial, but I am first true to myself. I know that there are going to be people out there that won't understand my points of view, but I won't worry about that because our opinions vary on what it is that we want to believe.

CHAPTER 1

Father, Son and Holy Ghost

Father God/The World

This world is one big ball of confusion; nobody truly knows what to believe, or what to believe in. I wish that was not the case, but it truly is. Life is unpredictable, full of uncertainties, and most theory about who we are and where we came from is unreliable and unsubstantiated at best. I’ve chalked it up to everything being a matter of opinion. These theories are waging some of the biggest wars amongst the believers of Christ today, do we believe in evolution or should we believe in religion, or does religion and science go hand in hand? But in my unassuming opinion, as much as religion is blamed for most wars, the greatest persuader of wars is science. The more technologically advanced we become, militarily, the more we want to demonstrate our weaponry.

Now I titled this chapter Father, Son and Holy Ghost, because that is how I view the whole World and the Universe. This Earth is very small to me, even though traveling the whole Earth has not been afforded to me as yet, but I can get there, and that is what makes it so very small to me. That being said, I can only imagine how small the universe is to the almighty God. We could never comprehend there being a spirit that powerful. We often forget that God is not someone, but an all mighty, and all powerful spirit. As human beings we tend to limit God to our own limitations. I believe in my heart that as I have read in the Holy Bible, that the World is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the Universe and they that dwell therein.

Now before the Universe there was always space, full of void, and what man is gathering is that, the universe is continuously growing, which means that the Universe had to have had a beginning. We continuously here about the big bang theory, who recorded the big bang, and why is it so hard to believe the possibility of the supernatural?

Now I am trying to understand what kind of force it would have taken for all of this to have happened? How that one explosion, could have made all this? Everything just fell right into place, better yet what the hell did that explosion open up? That would have suggested that the universe was always there in inner space, and the big explosion opened up the flood gate, which would still mean that the Universe indeed had a beginning. My thing is this you will never get something out of nothing. You could never get an explosion or heat, without fuel or energy. That defies the laws of physics.

Now I’m not trying to convince myself that the big bang did, or did not happen, it’s a theory with circumstantial evidence at best. There are times, I must admit that I would put myself in the position of the non-believers, believe me it’s not too hard. I really believe that not believing is the easiest thing in the world to do. How hard is it to do whatever you want to do without any feeling of remorse, or feeling that there is no consequence for your actions, and no I’m talking about morality, or immorality, because it seems like morality is now a matter of opinion, it’s not about doing wrong and knowing that what you are doing is wrong, it’s about not having a conscience.

Now I must admit that I am fascinated with the planets, and the galaxies, the universe, and all that dwell therein. I am fascinated by the conjectures man has been coming up with about the beginning of the universe. I am so fascinated that I came up with a conjecture of my own. Why is the moon so strategically placed in relations to the earth and the sun, and why is the earth in perfect distance from the moon and the sun? The whole world the universe is just perfect to me. How could anyone disdain that? I know that the universe is of God, I know that the universe belongs to God. Now seeing that the universe is God, and that would make the earth God. We are a part of him, for we were made in his image, he molded us out of the dearth, which is a part of him, and breathe his breath into us.

Food for thought: if we were to examine the history books, according to scientists, human beings are the infants on the planet earth, and if you were to read your Bible, in the book of Genesis, which means the beginning, on the sixth day God made man and woman, and on the seventh day he rested, so according to the Bible man and woman were the last things that God created. How could the Bible scholars have known this? But you see when God breathe life into mankind, he breathe more than just life, but he also breath knowledge and understanding into our minds, and that is why from day one we were able to communicate with God, and we are still able to do it today.

Like I said if the universe is God, then that would make the Earth God, God is also mother earth, and father time. All the animals, the birds, the bees, the fishes, the flowers and the trees, the air we breathe, to the water we drink, belongs to the earth, and they are what sustains us. Take away any one of those things or elements, and the earth would not exist as we now know it, I know for sure the earth would be uninhabitable. All creatures, all animals, and all the trees, have to give back to the earth, in other words they have to replenish the earth in order for the earth to sustain them and us. They give to the earth and the earth gives back to them, and us. That is truly amazing. Now the earth doesn’t need us, but the animals, the birds, the flowers and the trees, they do, we are the organizers of them all, and we put things in their proper place. We were put here for a reason. We were truly put here to be rulers of this world.

Now for some reason in spite of what a lot of people may think, we are succeeding, and everything is going according to God’s plans. I do have a lot of commiseration for those that just don’t believe or obey God’s words, and yes, most of the casualties of this world are caused by man, I am talking about from famine, to natural disasters, to unnecessary wars, and how can we forget about global warming, which really does exists. But at the end of the day, man cannot destroy this world no matter how hard he tries. Man can only destroy Man. God is not going to allow man to destroy him.

Let us get back to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. God is the Earth and everything on and in the Earth, every creature, every plant replenishes the Earth, and the Earth in kind replenishes and sustains them and us. Praise go out blessings come in, basic explanation.

Jesus The Son/The Sun

Jesus Christ who is the Son, I liken him to the Sun. Now as most Christians should know, Jesus was here from the beginning of the world. In the book of John, in the Bible (King James version), it reads," In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. I believe that even though Jesus was not created, like man or the devil, he had to have had a beginning, now I don’t mean in the conventional sense, because he was always in the Heavenly Father, but Jesus was born out of the essence of God. In the book of Genesis chapter 1 verses’ 1-3 it talks about God creating the Heaven and the Earth, and how the earth was without form, and void, and about how the darkness was upon the face of the deep, and God moved upon the face of the water and said let there be light, and there was light. Now as we all know that without the Earth there would be no Sun, for the Sun is here because of the Earth, and if there is no Earth then there would not be a need for the Sun.

We as human being view the earth along with the galaxies as being very vast, but to God, the earth is very minute, right now time seems to be flying, there is not enough time in the day. I started writing this book two years ago, I am still on the first chapter, and I feel as though I’ve just started. The dials on the clock aren’t going any faster, but yet it feels as if time is going so fast. We are getting older, and now looking at our own mortality. Let’s face the fact, the older we get the closer we come to death, and we want to slow down the hands of time, and in trying to slow down the hands of time, we subconsciously in our minds speed up the time. Yes people, the days are getting shorter, that is because we have so many things on our plate, that when we look back, the time has already passed us by.

I can imagine God laughing at us trying to figure out how old the world is, or how many days it took him to create the heaven and the earth. How relevant is that? We can’t imagine that there is no time with God. The calendar year was put in place for man, not God. We spend too much time trying to imagine the unimaginable.Getting back to the son/ sun, we know that without the sun, there would be no moon light. Amazing isn’t it. How come everything just fell into place, the sun sustains the whole planet and everything that dwells therein. Now all through the Old Testament it was prophesied about the coming of the savior, Jesus Christ, which means that Jesus Christ was also always watching over us, and that God had already revealed to his prophets, that Jesus Christ was coming.

That being said, God had to have been tired of what was going on in the world, all the corruption, all the blasphemy, all the sin that was consuming the earth. God saw the trend, and knew that the earth was headed for total destruction, so he sent his only begotten son to die for our sins. Jesus coming was two folds, first to fulfill the Old Testament, and to be a mediator between us and the father, which means that he would have to take on our sins by suffering and dying. He cleansed our sins away with his own blood. You see we can go to the father ourselves through Jesus Christ. God is our destination, and Jesus Christ is the path in which we go through to get to our destination, not through another man, but through the Savior.

There are still some people today that live by the Old Testament, which seems to be the root of most of the evil today. Jesus came that we would do away with the Old Testament, which does not mean that we can’t reference the Old Testament from time to time, but rather learn from all of the decisions that God had made. The Old Testament was about the beginning of mankind, it was about building a new kingdom here on earth, and the Old Testament was about the human race in its infancy. This is what made all the killings, the famines, and the destruction of evil nations justified, which even meant the killing of infants, and livestock. This may not seem right to you, but it doesn’t have to, God doesn’t owe man any explanation. All of the destruction that took place in the Old Testament had to be done in order to save mankind. Man was going to destroy himself with his own evil. God had to restore order and balance back to man, and where ever evil is taking over, God will destroy it, and he would leave no stones unturned.

Now when Jesus came to earth, like I’ve said earlier, he came to fulfill the Old Testament, he came to bring the word of the gospel of heaven, his message was about peace, love, forgiveness, and God’s saving and redeeming grace. Jesus came to make our journey to the father easier. If God did not love us he would have destroyed us a long time ago, it was because of his love for us, that he sent his only begotten son to shed his blood, to suffer, to be humiliated, and die for our sins. Jesus died that we should be sustained spiritually, his words is our daily bread. So as we all can see, the sun/son sustains us. The sun supplies our every need here on earth, and the son supplied our every need for us getting into heaven.

I’ve read my bible on numerous occasions, and I’ve realized that the journey for Jesus Christ could not have been an easy one, yet we take it for granted. We wake up every morning to the rising sun, and I wonder, how much of us give thanks? How many of us really understand the significance the sun plays in our daily lives? The sun gives us light, it gives us breath, it gives us hope, and it gives us joy, so yes why would I not believe.

The Holy Spirit/the Moon

But now I am going back to the Father who sent Me, and none of you asks Me where I am going. You are very sad from hearing all of this. But I
