Have you ever heard one of those conversations where the participants take it too far and they get bumped off-track by missing the forest for all the trees?
Sometimes that happens with me for math. You know how it goes, right? There we are, for instance, talking about the Bible and somebody may say something like "God is good," and my inner analyst breaks it down into tiny parts for examination, digesting the data-bits, if you will, to the result of something like, 'Hmmmm... yes. Agreed.'
My inner thought says, 'When talking about God, it is TRUE that he us good.'
Now, all that happens in a nano-second. I might only perceive the results as general agreement but if we're focused on what others are saying, we hear it, take it in, chew it a bit and accept or reject. Either we are with the speaker or not, right?
I mean, you're with me so far.
When it comes to math, what i find is that i'm rather distractable. One may rightly say, for instance, "One of us can turn 1,000, two of us 10,000,' and I'm okay with that, of course. It's the Word of Truth, afterall. Agreed. Actually, there is an 'auto-agreement' that we've been trained to use. It first verifies the quote and in me, compares it with my recollection of the KJV, then rubber-stamps it as true.
But something else may happen as well. I call it the, "Whatsoever things are good, whatsoever things are pure...' thing where we think on these things that are known good and pure. We ruminate on them. This may kick in and there I am, thinking aboyt the rate of increase again.
The Scripture, and my process goes like this: If one can turn 1,000 that establishes a ratio of 1:1,000 (read 'one to one thousand). cf. 2:10,000 we see the result as bigger or more. But what about the rate of increase? How much more?
How much more, exactly? Given that the rate of growth stays the same, or that the rate of increase remains constant, right? How many can 3 of us turn?
Those of us that are in the front of the class, hands raised, saying, 'ask me, i know, I know,'' are focused. Others? Not so much.
Hence, mr title comes to mind. Math, bah-humbug. Who needs it? We know what our Father said. He said, "Do not forsake the joining of youtselves together," right? He went on to say something like, "especially as you see the end drawing near."
So here we are. Fellowshipping. Joining ourselves. Talking about things we have in common and things we don't. Forming bonds of friendship, allowing and encouraging them to strengthen, and that too is good. If we are ever to have LOVE BANNERS flying over us so much that even the heathen will see and notice? Well, it has to start somewhere.
Somewhere like here. Let those who have an ear to hear, let them hear, said one man to all of creation, angels (his servants) included. We are able to speak the Word, the Truth, in the manner in which we gave been taught.
We can put on our big-boy pants and become more and more like our Savior as fellowship simply takes its natural course. We may wax bold and preach. Our friends applaud even the tiny steps.
But u diverge. Or I do.
Back to the titled subject, maths.
Those of us who answered, Trhee (3) can turn 10 x 10,000 = 100,000 may be right, mathmagicality.
But what about four (4) of us believers? Hiw much spirit-potential with four? If it worked like horse-power, there would be a direct, one-to-one relationship. Add one horse and get 1 HP more as a result.
Some may recall hearing about exponential rate of increase. That would go more like, 2, 4, 16, 64... QUITE-A-BIT faster. Cell growth can attain this rate. But what about the Blessing rate for joining together in His NAME?
Yes. As one might expect, this would be faster still. 10 times faster? Let's see, shall we?
IF 1 IS TO 1,000 AS 2 IS TO 10,000, HOW MANY IS 3?
Half the problem is solved by forming the right question, right? 3 would yield (at that rate of increase) something like this: 10 x 10,000 = 100,000. Three (3) can turn one hundred thousand (100,000). Now THAT'S a favorable rate. How much would you like it if the bank offered those rates? And our treasure is kept for us where no thief may break in, so it is secure AND it is paid out throughout eternitr. In ither words, we shall see Him, shall know Him even as we are known for we do not yet know what we shall be, but we do know who wr're gonna be like, do we not?
Blessed rate = 1:000, 2:10,000, 3:100,000, 4:1,000,000.
Exponential rate = 1x1=1, 2x2=4, 3x3=9, 4x4=16.
Direct rate, 1=1, 2=2, 3=3, 4=4.
Again, 1, 2, 3, 4 (us alone).
1, 4, 9, 16 (us in collaboration with each other)
And when we add the 'whereever two or more of you agree as touching... blessing': 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, 1,000,000.
Whatsoever things are good... whatsoever things are pure. Math? Maybe, but no so much. To God goes the glory. It's the WAY and the Truth and the light if the Word in us.
Hallelujah
