Scorpios, Talking Snakes and One Way or the Highway to Hades type Spirituality

Why does my Higher Power do this to me. He has such a wicked sense of humor He hooks me up with a Conservative Scorpio Man with Black and White One Way or the Highway Type Spirituality.

The Bible is absolutely literally the truth and anyone who see that truth differently is destined for Hades. I have a very different view of the Higher Power. I call him Grandfather Creator and sometimes Mother Ga ia if I am ticked off at the male gender. If I am really confused I make God a Drag Queen.

Sometimes I don't feel like even talking to God when he's not doing it my way. God knows I eventually get over it and talk to him anyway. He is God not Santa Claus. He never promised that love or riches would come into my life. He only gives me the strength to go through life on life's terms - sometimes good and sometimes bad.

My Scorpio Friend believes that everything in the Bible happened literally as it is written. I question the possibility of talking snakes, talking donkeys, voices coming out of burning bushes, the sea parting to let the good guys through and closing in on the bad guys. The River turns into blood. A stick turns into a snake and eats other snakes that used to be sticks. Can a man really blast down a wall simply by blowing a horn.

Is there really a ship big enough to carry two of every kind of animal in the world? Virgin births! Yeah Sure! I was told that these things happened in ancient times but not modern times. Why Not? Does this mean the magical tales of Camelot and King Author are true. Perhaps Apollo and Zeus really did get all those maidens pregnant.

Perhaps in other dimensions there are fairies,dragons and angels. Jonah lived in the Belly of a Whale for three days. Personally I don't think it matter if Christ was miraculous conceived from a Virgin, by Artificial insemination or with the assistant of a Roman Soldier. The Truths that he taught validate the message that he carried.

The Story of Jonah and the Whale has a message that can be pertain ant of modern times regardless of rather it happened or not. God sent Jonah on a mission with a specific destination. Jonah decided to run his own program and went another direction. The Storm arrived and the sailors tossed some of the cargo including Jonah into the Ocean. A Whale swallowed him and spit him out where he was suppose to be. Jonah completed his mission and lives were saved.

How often in my own life have I been tossed into dangerous waters by unscrupulous employers, lovers, family members, and husbands. I had to swim in another direction. I am not sure if I am going in the right direction. I am looking for that Whale to tell me where to go but I live closer to a river than I do an ocean.

Star, they have already found the ark that carried two of everything in Turkey near the top of the Mt. Yes God who created the earth and everything in it is that powerful. Just think. How great the creation, means how great the creator. So no doubt He could do all that he has done including making you, Star. It is literal.
