#126214 — [Jesus Loves You] Seek the truth

Until a person seeks the truth with a solid seeking, pressing in and 
truly wanting to know the truth, it will forever elude them.  That 
person will think they know something, but it is of deception from 
the enemy who seeks to provide people with an alternate path from the 
true path of God.  The enemy provides many such paths, tailored to 
suit your personal propensity toward believing a lie.

But for the one who seeks the truth honestly, sincerely, diligently,
God sees you so seeking.  He Himself enters in to your life and lifts 
you toward the truth, drawing you from within out of falseness.  He 
gives you supernatural knowledge, things your flesh can't know.  He 
draws you in a way that compels you from within to move toward those 
things which lead you to Christ.

This movement remains a mystery, and unattainable to everyone who will 
not seek the truth.  But for those who truly seek the truth, this 
transformation I describe manifests in a person's life, so they are 
drawn to Jesus.  And once they ask forgiveness, the old man dies, and 
the new man is born.

This born again nature is spirit, and it is eternal life.

No longer flesh-only, now an augmented existence enabling one to hear 
the call of God continually, and to place value on that calling.

It's free for all who will receive it.  No one who comes truly seeking 
is turned away, and Jesus will raise them up on the last day.

Please investigate this claim personally.  You can do so be resolving 
within yourself that you truly do want to know if what I teach is true 
or not.

If you would like help, please contact me.  I will pray for you, and 
teach you the truth, guiding you to Biblical passages, guiding you to 
established and grounded teachers like Steve Lawson, Charles Spurgeon,
DL Moody, and others.

God wants to save you.  He asks you to come to Him asking forgiveness.
All who do are saved that day.  But stay close to established Christians 
because the enemy will still seek to deceive you even after salvation.
This won't affect your salvation, but it will diminsh your witness and 
walk in this world, causing more sin, and less reward in Heaven.

God loves you.  It's why He offers you salvation for free.  I love you.
It's why I teach you these things.

Imvho, it would be nice to see Rick write a C program. On a side note, 
heck, I love fractals and posted some programs here in C that create 
standard text based images (PPM). Rick can also promote his love of 
religion though some actual programs. Afaict, it would be interesting.

Fwiw, here is an example of me trying to promote fractals on this group 
in the from of a program in C99:

https://groups.google.com/d/topic/comp.lang.c/YnEcpH-vRxw/discussion

It creates a PPM called (ct_cipher_rifc.ppm) that should look like:

https://o18i.imgup.net/ct_cipher_b95e.jpg

;^)

All hail the almighty fractal! Ah %^*^**^ Sorry for that non-sense. ;^o

I have, for the past 5.5 years, been working on several projects, all of
which are written in C using a C++ compiler, and all of which are being
written expressly as an offering to Jesus Christ.  It's the whole purpose
of my personal endeavors, and has been since July, 2012.  It's the logo I
use.  It ties back to the Liberty Software Foundation (LibSF), a purposeful
creation for God-fearing/Christ-seeking people, an alternative to the unholy
Free Software Foundation (FSF).

It's the whole movement I've been moving toward.  It's me writing my own
compiler, creating my own OS, designing my own hardware, and everything
else that's related to it.  I'm creating a ground-up offering given over
to the Lord in holiness from the inception.  Not for money, not using
existing software bases that were written by people who use profanity
and choose project names like "ncurses," "gimp," and the like.  CAlive
was given that name because Jesus Christ is alive!

You know nothing about me, Chris.  You sit back and assume and conclude
and make judgments about me, about who I am, what I believe, how I am
some particular thing that is wrong in your view, and you are simply
wrong about me.  You are also wrong about Christianity, and about the
need you have to repent of your sin, but you will find that out soon
enough one way or the other.

Yes. I remember trying to compile some code of yours using a C compiler.

Keep in mind that you are the one telling others how they, and their 
children, are going to hell "unless...", and you say I am some sort of 
judge because I want you to write some C in your subsequent posts? Pot 
Kettle syndrome again, perhaps? Jesus.

Indeed.  Christianity (as practiced by nutjobs like Ricky) is terrorism,
pure and simple.  Do what I say or suffer the consequences.  Sound familiar?

Chris, since you don't post with a valid e-mail address I'll
respond here.

Most posts I see from you are off-topic.  If that doesn't change,
I'll configure my newsreader so that it never shows me anything
you post, topical or not.  I'm not trying to change your behavior,
nor am I expecting a response.  I'm just letting you know.

Fair enough. Fwiw, to let me start making some more C code, can you 
point me to a good C based HMAC lib? I a looking for a lib that allows 
me to take a digest as a series of bytes. I want to convert the 
following Python code of mine to C:

https://groups.google.com/d/topic/sci.crypt/3FqFtipS8ik/discussion
(if interested, please read all...)

here is my code in question:

https://pastebin.com/raw/8kFwcSLU

I can create my own HMAC impl in C, but wanted to know if you know of a 
good established one.

Fwiw, here is one I found:

https://github.com/Yubico/yubico-c-client/blob/master/hmac.c

or: 
https://github.com/cantora/avr-crypto-lib/blob/master/hmac-sha256/hmac-sha256.c

The digest should be at least around 16 bytes or preferably little larger.

The only thing I need is a nice bug free HMAC that allows me to get at 
the digests, for C in order to implement my experimental cipher in C.

Not me, I just had to look up what HMAC means.

Actually, I can code the HMAC part, I am looking for some bug free 
cryptographic hash functions to go along with the MAC part. SHA-2 with 
its suite of hash algorithms with different digest sizes is a nice target.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2

I found some interesting code, do not know if it is bug free yet, so it 
goes into my examples folder for now... ;^) :

https://github.com/B-Con/crypto-algorithms/blob/master/sha256.c

That is only one 32-byte digest. I also need bug free sha-512 and 384 at 
least.

I can code these myself, but it would be nice to use something that is 
verified bug free and already existing.

Thanks for even taking the time to look up HMAC Keith, and sorry for not 
giving you a quick link.

Fwiw, here my most recent Python 3 cipher code I need to port to C:

https://pastebin.com/raw/WF3a87Ap

Fwiw, the cipher itself, best discussed over on sci.crypt is fairly 
secure...

Actually, Chris is 100% spot on accurate.  He knows everything about you,
and that's what bothers you so.  Your kind only thrives when people
*don't* know what you're really like.

Oh, thanks muchly for the chuckles about your being offended by the names
of things.  You can't buy entertainment like that.

I have an old classmate that had exactly done that. He used write BASIC 
programs in an Apple computer to print brochures for his church in an 
Asian language, in the time when Apple didn't have fonts for his mother 
language. He later went studying theology in USA.
