I am not particularly fascinated by Albert Einstein but as I have in past blogs noted that blog traffic has stopped by those posts the most, there by receiving the most hits.
I got to wondering why others found him so fascinating as he was NOT very favorable to Scripture and had such a disdain for our Christian beliefs.
So I decided to delve into why some people find him so fascinating. I did not have to go far into it to decide I will not elaborate or go into great detail as I found his life so despicable in his regards to beliefs I hold dear.
So I set Google to work.
And found this most ridiculous trivia and it was so far out I don't know who would even have the imagination to make this up.
Here is an excerpt:
"Through spiritual research, we found that prior to his life on Earth
Albert Einstein was at a spiritual level of 50%. Due to this, he was in
the subtle-region of Heaven (Swarga) for a few months as a
reward for his high merits in his previous life. Heaven is the beginning
of the subtle positive regions in the Universe. When in Heaven, he
ridiculed the divine play of some heavenly beings. For this reason, as
punishment, his stay in the subtle-region of Heaven was cut short and he
had to be reborn on Earth. Thus even though he ultimately attained
great fame on Earth; due to his folly in Heaven, he had to give up an
existence of superlative pleasures and no unhappiness whatsoever in
Heaven. Compared to experiencing Heaven, the roller coaster ride of
happiness and unhappiness that life on Earth provides is in itself a
punishment."
According to Wikepedia Einstein's religious views . He said he believed in the "pantheistic" God of Baruch Spinoza, but not in a personal god, a belief he criticized. He also called himself an agnostic, while disassociating himself from the label atheist,
preferring, he said, "an attitude of humility corresponding to the
weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own
being."
He had a Jewish childhood history & observed its traditions until the age of twelve even though his parents sent him to Catholic school.
"Through the reading of popular scientific books I soon reached the conviction that much in the stories of the Bible could not be true." He stated.
In a letter he wrote:
"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a
lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a
personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly.
If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the
unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our
science can reveal it."
""The idea of a personal God is quite alien to me and seems even naïve." ( his book "Choose Life: The Biblical Call To Revolt"[ Einstein in 1954. sent a letter and
wrote, "The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and
product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but
still primitive legends. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for
me) change this. "
Eternity is a long time to be wrong.
It is my hope and prayer as you read this blog that a 180 turn will set your lives on a course with Heaven in view as God's Word is true and that it will encourage you to read it and find the personal God.

Where Seldom Is Heard A DISCOURAGING WORD...
Today’s ENCOURAGING words came by attending our Alzheimer’s support meeting.
In spite of the unpredictable events that pop up in our lives, God has a plan for our care and comfort.
Scripture says that “David ENCOURAGED himself in the Lord his God.”
Why is ENCOURAGEMENT so important?
It is important because Scripture thinks it IS important.
I Thess.5:11 “…ENCOURAGE one another…”
Without ENCOURAGEMENT , hardships will become meaningless and our will to go on wanes.
ENCOURAGEMENT makes it a little easier to live in our fallen world.
ENCOURAGEMENT makes it easier to love Jesus.
ENCOURAGEMENT gives hope.
Rom. 15:4 “For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the ENCOURAGEMENT of the Scriptures we might have hope.”
ENCOURAGEMENT carries us through times of trials and burdens.
ENCOURAGEMENT nurtures patience and compassion.
ENCOURAGEMENT makes it easier for the advancement of God’s kingdom
Let’s face it ENCOURAGEMENT just makes life easier!
Today we were ENCOURAGED to look at how God uses his attributes to ENCOURAGE and comfort us.
We took a tour of Isaiah 39 & 40. What is our source of comfort and where do we go to get it? Isa.51:12 “I am he who comforts you.”
We get our comfort from God and his Word.
So what are these attributes of God that he displays to add to our ENCOURAGEMENT?
God ENCOURAGES us with the comfort of redemption
Isa. 40:5 God ENCOURAGES us by revealing his glory.
ENCOURAGES us by the promise of God’s Word standing forever. Vs.8
We are ENCOURAGED by his power. Vs. 10
We are ENCOURAGED just by the fact that God will tend to His flock like a shepherd. Vs.11
God has the knowledge and understanding to know what ENCOURAGES and comforts the weary even though there is no way out.
So to sum things up we should be very grateful and ENCOURAGED just by the knowledge that we are redeemed, we can have confidence in the Word,God cares for us as a loving shepherd, God is far wiser and understanding of the whole picture so that His glory will be revealed.
WHY IS ENCOURAGEMENT SO IMPORTANT?
BECAUSE IT IS SOMETHING IMPORTANT IN THE SCRIPTURES.
IT MAKES LIFE EASIER. GOD WANTS US TO TAKE COMFORT BY ENCOURAGEMENT.
Our Alzheimer’s support meetings are meant to ENCOURAGE those who are care giving a loved one as well as to ENCOURAGE others to come along side for the support, prayer partners, or to provide respite care.
A special thanks to Ryan who ENCOURAGED and
led us on this tour today. Looking forward to more adventures on ENCOURAGEMENT.
