TROUBLE BEYOND THE NATURAL

The Atheist called out, “Hey! Shepherd boy or should I call you Shepherd Man, do you know where the Man on White hood disappeared to or has he sent you to lead us to the One who will answer all our questions?”

The Shepherd Man answered, “I am He”

The Old Philosopher started to LOL ‘laugh out loud’ and said” what kind of self appraisal is that?”

He replied softly “I changeth not”

They all laughed, especially the Scientist.

He said “If time changes how much more you, mere mortal? When you walk, you change positions and posture, so how come you claim not to have experienced any change, even the dead change by decomposing. More so you look 30 or 35 by age and that makes common sense common that atleast 30 years ago you were just a baby!”

The Old Philosopher agreed according to the opinion of the Scientist
“Honestly have heard funny and weird things today but this, never! When the constant thing in life is change”

The Atheist kept awfully quiet because he felt like the whole event had made him believe something that is against his will more so the journey to their answer was becoming much farther and complicated.

“Whether you are he or you are them, it’s none of my business, state your mission here and let’s get on with it” said the Lady Lawyer.

So the Shepherd Man asked, “What are you doing here? Who brought you here? Where are you going? Who are you looking for? And what answers do you seek?

“Now that is great, the 5 ‘W’ of certain theory” said the Lawyer.

The Scientist thought in his heart that when they saw a throne room why didn’t they see the Father seated on His throne

Immediately the Shepherd Man replied the Scientist “No one, no not one, no man can go to the Father except through me!”

“…because you are the way, the truth and the life?”The Lady Lawyer spoke out.

Her fellow colleagues were shocked and the Old Philosopher asked “I thought we were on the same side?”

Why do you ask? Replied the Lady Lawyer

The Atheist intercepts, “off course, for obvious reasons, except you want to back out now”

The Scientist reminded the so called Shepherd Man about the empty throne and asked how they would find their way back to the location. Then the Shepherd Man asked a question with emphasis on the Scientist.

“Is it possible for man, mere mortal to walk on water?”

He looked up, his eyes started rolling as thoughts came rushing through his mind, and he wanted to be careful to answer the question because the One who asked him had proven a certain fact that mere mortal couldn’t walk on water but…

“What’s taking you so much time to answer a simple question like that?”asked the Lady Lawyer as she interrupted his thoughts then the Scientist asked “What part of your legal law supports that human should walk on water when they are stranded?”

“Well, I don’t think that’s any of my business since I don’t deal with the theory of Cause and Event scientifically, if my client commits murder and he can pay me heavily, I’ll only need to do my best so that he doesn’t spend a long time in jail!”She so said.

“What’s the essence of this argument, after everything we had experienced, should we any further contemplate our next adventure, My dear Scientist, remember our brother Newton who proved this Law that ‘ what ever goes up must come down’…”

So…??? The Atheist was inpatient…

Therefore, let’s answer him based on what we know about what is true and what can be proven, simple! The Old Philosopher continued…”Or except you think science can prove walking on water?”

While they yet argued, the Shepherd soon turned around to face the sea, intending to walk away from them. The Lady Lawyer called their attention to him. The Scientist asked if the Shepherd Man had a boat or ship or something that could make all of them journey together on the sea, the Lady Lawyer didn’t like the idea because she disliked travelling by sea cause of the fear of drowning so she requested for a life jacket.

The Shepherd Man replied “so be it according to your faith, o ye of little faith”

The Atheist protested “Hey! Young man, I have no faith or form of believe in any of your magic nether is we as dumb like Christians to believe that you are God!”

After he had spoken, he lost his peace but wouldn’t share his troubled thoughts with anybody except the Shepherd who was able to perceive the thoughts of his heart.

Just then, a medium sized Ferry ride came up, out of the ocean close to the shore and they were all amazed. While their amazement spanned through the moment, the Shepherd Man started walking as a fore-time on the sea.

The Scientist soon concluded that everything that is happening and that had happened had been a big dream.
