May.25.2017 -- A plea for help

[Rick C. Hodgin]

This world is run by evil madmen being guided by an insane evil spirit
named Satan. The purpose of all of Satan's actions are to do the
opposite of that which God established, and to teach contrary things
to that which God established.

I would like to request help in changing that.

The Lord Jesus Christ came to this Earth to restore that which was
lost because of sin. He did that at the cross, having fulfilled all
He was tasked to do completely, and faithfully, even though it was a
most bitter cup He was forced to drink from.

We now in this world have a choice. We can continue on in the way and
ways of the world, or we can recognize them for what they are (evil),
and choose to go another way.

I am asking each of you to consider the direction you want this world
to go in, and make a conscious choice to put your talents and skills
where your mouth is, and step up in this world and serve the Lord Jesus
Christ directly with your life's focus. Together, we can achieve that
which none of us can achieve on our own.

I offer my talents and skills and knowledge and resources unto the
Lord, and I'm asking you to join with me in moving forward with projects
that seek to honor Him in this world. Consciously. Purposefully. By
a concerted, focused effort desiring to turn our backs on the evil ways
of this world, and embrace the holy, right, and true ways taught by the
Lord Jesus Christ.

Everything He has taught us and done for us is right, pure, holy, and
that very and exact thing we all need in our lives. I choose to embrace
fully His presence in my life, and to bring Him out front ahead of the
things I do, so that I am not doing them for myself, for money, for some
kind of fame or glory, but I am instead doing it because I recognize He
first made me, and gave me my skills, and gave me every opportunity I've
had to move in this world. And I want to give back to Him that which He
first gave me, as an offering of my free will because of who He is.

I invite each of you to step up and come and join this project I am
working on. It has been a monumental undertaking, and I have been
diminished in my ability to continue working on it over time. I am not
sure the cause of that diminishment, but I know that together we can
achieve that which He first placed upon my heart:

A full hardware and software stack, with our own protocols and
specifications that are unencumbered by existing patents and IP
constraints:

(1) CPU
(2) Mainboard components
(3) Memory
(4) Networking, video, sound
(5) Operating system
(6) Drivers
(7) Tools (editors, compilers, debuggers, script engines)
(8) Applications
(9) Physical manufacturing of all of these things

We have the skills. We have the talent. We can tear down and rebuild
that which the enemy constructed on false foundations. We can make
ours fully secure upon eternal foundations.

I am asking you to come forth with your life's offering and serve the
Lord. I'm asking you to come to His Son and ask forgiveness of your
sin and then begin your life anew in service to Him.

The enemy won't like this, and he will come and attack from all sides.
But God is far greater, and if you stay the course, God Himself will
ensure your success ... because of who He is, and because of who you
are in Him.

Thank you for considering this proposal. Feel free to email me if
you would like. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you,
Rick C. Hodgin

They're all works in progress at various stages of completion.

And I have other ideas and projects mapped out, including a non-linear
on-the-fly video / audio editor called Whitebox, the purpose of which
is to apply user edits to raw content decoded from a DVD, so you pop
in a DVD which is an R-rated movie due to profanity and/or violence,
but one which otherwise has a good message and good scenes, and by
applying on-the-fly edits, you wind up with a G-rated version suitable
for the family. And I have ideas for how to create a Blender-like
app, a GIMP-like app, as well as a full office suite, etc.

[Rick C. Hodgin]

I came across this song today (in Russian).

Плачет мой народ, кто залечит раны
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlP4mAOtpFY

It was a beautiful song and I listened to it solely on music merits
at first. But, I began to wonder what the lyrics were saying. I
did a Google search and found this page:

http://fon-ki.com/load/16-1-0-787

And if you run the lyrics through Google Translate, you'll see a
message very similar to what I've been teaching here and other
places these many years. It is basically summed up in this small
portion:

"A lot of roads, everywhere they offer
Only people would believe to stop
With lies at the same time, they deny the truth
The Truth and Grace of Christ"

Our lives have been given us for a purpose. We have a future that
is written in eternity. And we have been guidance here on this
Earth for how to be and live.

All of nature speaks of it aloud in public places, in our hearts,
in our minds, in truth.

I urge each of you to dig deep and examine these things at their
core. The enemy has lot of layers atop that which is true and
foundational. Press through those layers and seek the true core
and see if the layers built atop are not the problem, and not
that which is at the core.

I love you all and I ask you only to dig deep and press in for
the absolute truth. It is a right and proper request for all
people living upon this Earth, and please know that I am here to
encourage you. Inbox me if you'd like.

I love you, but Jesus loves you more.

You are COMPLETELY mad. Why don't you move to Afghanistan?

[Rick C. Hodgin]

There are evil spirits at work in this world temping us to pursue
the excitements and rigors of our flesh for fulfillment, and in a
way that is directly against the guidance of God.

We can have full and rich lives engaging in the full range of our
creation and senses, but without dipping down into sin.

It is only sin I am desiring to remove from my life, and not the
regular daily goings on of friendship, having companions, the
camaraderie amongst peers and co-workers, and the like. I just
don't want to hear profanity, see nudity, even see people giving
their bodily appearance to an inappropriate audience, for such
things should be reserved only for their spouse because then it
is kept in its proper place, and there is a great inner reward
which comes with maintaining that.

It's an appropriate thing to do in this world, to seek to live a
full and rich life with the full range of faculties given to us,
but to do so without going into sin.

You should try it, bit-naughty. You'll be amazed at the change
within. You could start by changing your name to bit-pure, or
bit-lovely, or bit-helping.

I have to say, you've got a point.

Can I have a HAREM then? i.e. multiple spouses? What's your take on that?

[Rick C. Hodgin]

My take doesn't matter. My opinion is just my thinking. I cannot
rely upon my thinking because of sin's corruption in this world.

If you want to know the truth, then seek the truth from the One who
is truth. He will teach you rightly.

You have evidenced that you have no interest in the truth, however.
Until you are willing to seek the truth, it will remain forever and
completely hidden from you. It will only be the enemy of God, and
the enemy of you, who is leading you, by your sin nature, to your
very destruction.

If that matters at all to you ... then change direction, and seek
the truth.

I am not a troll, Wolfgang. And I have great fear that one day you
will realize that fact too late. It breaks my heart.

I have binned Rick already, gave up eventually...
