zzZZZ is a coward... he hides his faith, candidate preference, and is scared to find the law. but he attacks everyone else that takes a position.
on the aclu thread zzzz spewed the following bile: 1. Yall klanish crack me up...angry white males, angry fearful Christians who have a history of burning witches, inquisitions, killing American Indians, etc. ....all in the name of God, of course. and this : 2. Only Right Wing Fundamentalist Christians walk around with pork on their feet...snorting, belching like the pigs they are... ---
All are Christ, holding out illusionary concepts of Self not compatible with reality. Illusions clash. Truth does not clash. In Christ's sight there is another world. You live in that world just as much as this. For both are concepts of yourself, which can be interchanged but never jointly held. The contrast is far greater than you think. You will love the other concept of yourself. Have faith in him who walks with you - ZZZzzz - so that your fearful image of yourself may change. Look upon the good in him, that you may not be frightened by your "evil" thoughts because they do not cloud your view of him. All this shift in sight requires is that you be willing that this happy change occur. The concept of yourself that now you hold would guarantee your function here remain forever unaccomplished and undone. And thus it dooms you to a bitter sense of deep depression and futility...and visa versa. The concept of self stands like a shield...a silent barricade before the truth, and hides it from your sight. All things you see are images, because you look on them as through a barrier that dims your sight and warps your vision, so that you behold nothing with clarity. What you see is hell, for fear is hell. What is temptation but the wish to stay in hell and misery? And what can this give rise to but an image of yourself that can be miserable, and remain in hell and torment? Whoever has learned to see his brother as not in hell has saved himself. And thus, you become a savior to the rest. To everyone has God entrusted all. There are no partially saved partial saviors. It is up to you - jem - to save the Son of God. For God has given you His Son to save from every illusionary concept he ever held. Yet, while you wish to stay in hell, how could you be the savior of the Son of God? How could you know ZZZzzz'z holiness while you see him apart from yours? For holiness is seen through holy eyes that look upon the innocence within, and thus expect to see it everywhere. And in this way, the saviors of the world call holiness forth in everyone they look upon, that he may be what they expect of him. This is the saviors vision; that he see his innocence in all he looks upon, and see his own salvation everywhere. Whatever form temptation seems to take, it always but reflects a wish to be a self that you are not...such as, for example, some kind of rat. And from that wish a concept rises, teaching that you are the thing you wish to be. And it will remain your concept of yourself until the wish that fathered it no longer is held dear. But while you cherish it, you will behold your brother in the likeness of the self whose image has the wish begot of you. Thus, if you had wished to be an elf, you would see ZZZzzz as an elf - and a mischievous elf to boot. And because you wished to be a "human", so does ZZZzzz appear to be to you. You think, "I am no angel". So ZZZzzz is no angel either. Be vigilant against temptation, then, remembering that it is but a wish, insane and meaningless, to make yourself a thing that you are not. A body? A human body? Ha! It is a thing of madness, pain and death; a thing of treachery and black despair, of failing dreams and no remaining hope except to die and end the dream of fear. This is temptation! Nothing more than this. Can this be difficult for you to choose against? Consider what temptation is, and see the real alternatives you choose between. There are but two. Be not deceived by what appears as many choices. There is hell or Heaven, and of these you choose but one. Jesus
I have no idea where you got the idea I am judging zzz's holiness or my own. I do not judge his holiness. That is between him and God. Nor do I think I am holy. On this board I am pointing out that by human standards zzz spews hatred, something that should be an anathema to the liberal non judgmental cultural relativistic positions he almost always pretends to have.
On this board I am pointing out that by Christ's standards jem spews intolerance, judgment and hatred of gays, Muslims liberals and others...something that should be an anathema to the real followers of Master Jesus the Christ.
