Faith Does Nothing N-O-T-H-I-N-G but Ease One's Mind During the Suffering

That sounds like the beginning of a long, philosophical discussion (long because it 'demands' evidence of faith's 'nothingness.')

There is a lot of Scripture that proudly promotes the goodness of faith ... just like there's plenty of Scripture that proudly promotes racism, slavery, self-mutilation, divorce and all kinds of presently-destructive behavior.

But the Bible Isn't an Instruction Book

You've heard it referred-to as "Life's Little Instruction Book," but that's not the entire story. It's 'life's instruction book' in the same way a twelve-year grammar-textbook series is "human-language's complete dictionary."

That is to say that--though you can extrapolate philosophy-for-today from the Bible--it only "instructs" you in a few practices: most-importantly, "honoring thy father and mother" and "reading."

...But we'll discuss that later. For now, I want to point out a site that reminded me how I need you.

See,

I Can't Go and Meet You to Do Stuff!

I can only go with you (if you don't come pick me up) 'by heart.' That is when 'faith' delivers: when reality cannot.

But 'faith' fails when reality can deliver. Such as, when I know you are going somewhere I cannot, and yet I know you can choose to capture and share moments that matter.

When you don't share the moments, I know it is because you "bear a lack of love," which convinces you that it's better to forget me than to share your moments' memories with me.

(I was going to say 'because you "hate",' but all 'hate' is is a 'lack of love'—a lack that haunts you like a grudge.)

Mars Hill Communion: Lip-Service Via Metaphor

This season especially, I'm reminded of the dual nature of 'Christianity' (or of 'the young church-planters' lip-service paid to Catholic sacraments').

Two Types of Church-Members: The Ignorant and the Stupid (Tamer: the Unschooled and the Educated)

The Ignorant are they whom Santa Claus serves. Nothing wrong with being ignorant, as long as your are '-gnorant' enough to live the way you want to.

The message that I want to give to they who do not dig for the truth--they for whom I am willing to dig up the truth (as so many other MythMen are willing)--is this: the very words you hear about supernatural things are not to be repeated (except maybe in church).

I know that the Bible says Jesus 'commanded his disciples to go out and make disciples of all men,' but as he lived he constantly told people 'to NOT report his miracles to others'—because 'one does not "test" one's God,' (which 'reporting him to others' would have done, as the people would begin to think of him as a miracle-machine).

Failure to correctly apply those two teachings ('Secrecy' and 'Mission') is what causes me to call "the Educated" (i.e. the grown-ups) 'The Stupid.'

Oh! Turn On the Light AFTER You Put In the Bulb!...

Telling new minds of 'the supernatural' without implying the secrecy is like handing them all loaded guns and then--without any warning--telling them to 'go and play.' (Well, not such severe consequences, but sort of the same effect on the bodies of their souls.)

But it turns out that the common Catholic church isn't that much better. I'm thinking specifically of two of its sacraments: Communion and Confirmation.

Catholic Confirmation is the ritual one goes through to become a 'certified' Catholic. It's said to be 'when you learn the truth behind The Truth,' but I don't see it.

The misunderstanding that sparked the flame (on the pile of firewood that Mars Hill has been building) was 'the reason for Christmas' which the priest gave the children at a Christmas-mass this year. I'm not angry about it; I just feel that its focus is slightly-misplaced: the priest said that 'Christmas is celebrating the gift of Jesus from God,' as if Jesus were sent UPS-International to the manger from Hank-Williams-Jr.-in-the-Sky.

God Sends Nothing Direct

God didn't 'deliver sin unto Adam and Eve'; Adam and Eve reached beyond limits God set, and so were flushed like the refuse they were willing to ingest—just as you end up flushing Christmas dinner (though some of that undigested stuffing might still be good!)

But some of that 'undigested stuffing,' becoming cognizant of its creation-status, built itself up and provided us with a good example of "staying true to yourself despite more-powerful falsifying-factors" and "letting the powerful do what's right-by-them."

That's what Christmas celebrates: the birth of 'soon-to-be-cognizant dumpster-stuff' ... a celebration of the idea that divine masterpieces can start small.

But divine masterpieces are a lot of work—both for their constructors and their future-owners. That brings me back to Communion and Mars Hill's lip-service.

Reliving the Sacrifice, Renewing the Covenant

In Jesus's day, meals were the only real "contracts"—words spoken over salt were parts of a pledge signed by ingestion.

So, many "Bible Christians" take Communion's "do this in memory of me" as sort of a 'think about me while you eat this and drink this'; but it's more than that, as we can see reviewing its actual meaning.

Reading the above link, you can see that it's not 'remember me when you do this,' it's "offer yourself as I do"—contract renewed.

We Are All the Children of God! Amen!

This morning, I awoke to see (Reverend/Pastor) Kenneth Copeland praising the glory of Christ.

He spoke of The Visitation of the Angel of the Lord--when the boss-angel came to the shepherds of Bethlehem--when the angel said, "I bring you glad tidings ('good news') of great joy" ...

'I Give You The Gospel!

"That--this day, in the city of David--is born ..." I would've written 'The Christ,' but I'm not sure you know who 'The Christ' is. (Kenneth Copeland's style is such that--having heard the message from him--one feels that the message is one's own to pass-on—I'm hoping that was one of Kenneth's aims; if not, oh well! [lol])

'The Christ' is the featured son of the Holy Family. Jesus came to show us how we are each "Christ" (only The Christ when we recognize that The Holy Family isn't restricted by blood).

I'll explain with the New International Version of the Scripture Kenneth quoted today (though I think he used the King James Version), from Ephesians 3 (the third chapter of Apostle Paul's letter to the church of Ephesus):

The Law and the Promise
^15b... Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case. ¹⁶The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say "and to seeds," meaning many people, but "and to your seed," meaning one person, who is Christ. ¹⁷What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise. ¹⁸For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on a promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise.

¹⁹What, then, was the purpose of the law? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was put into effect through angels by a mediator. ²⁰A mediator, however, does not represent just one party; but God is one.

²¹Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. ²²But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.

²³Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. ²⁴So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. ²⁵Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law.

If I remember 'the law' correctly, the content of its rules could be summed-up, "Don't do anything (except your traditional job)!" That's probably an okay rule, except 'breaking it' meant shameful sinfulness.

God wants us to (you'll recall from his instructions to his first son) "Be fruitful and multiply." That sounds like two jobs, 'Go to work to get the money, then come home and ... like bunny-rabbits,' but no; it's only one job (and no, that doesn't mean '"bunny-rabbit"-izing at the office).

Some say "you are what you do." I agree with that, for the most part—so long as it does not limit anybody to being only what you see. I guess I want to remember that 'You Are before you Do anything.' Maybe You are sinful-in-part, but You are redeemed by your subconscious conscience (which catches you imagining a sinful choice and redirects your consciousness to the path of sinlessness).

Many Christian writers would have there said, '--You are redeemed by "the Blood of Jesus" or "the Mercy of God",' and I can naught but agree ("They does what's right by them"); but the next quote shows how that Blood/Mercy flows into our lives:

Sons of God
²⁶You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, ²⁷for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. ²⁸There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. ²⁹If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

True Creation is the Baptism. When you were 'baptized' (or maybe 'confirmed' as actually recognizing the Way, Truth and Light), your old spirit (the spirit of Law) died as the true Spirit was created in You!

And--as this sort of confirmation happened several times throughout the Bible (Adam in Eden, Abram becoming Abraham, David in Israel, Joseph in Pharoah's Court, Moses on The Mountain, Jesus in Gethsemane)--it happens several times in the Christian's life (birth, Baptism, grade-school progress, graduation, Confirmation, Marriage).

Where Human Logic Stands with God

This reminded me of something I talked about with Marcia this last Sunday.

A science professor begins his school year with a lecture to the students, "Let me explain the problem science has with religion." The atheist professor of physics pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand.

"You're a Christian, aren't you, son?"

"Yes sir," the student says.

"So you believe in God?"

"Absolutely."

"Is God good?"

"Sure! God's good."

"Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?"

"Yes."

"Are you good or evil?"

"The Bible says I'm evil."

The professor grins knowingly. "Aha! The Bible!" He considers for a moment. "Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you can cure him. You can do it. Would you help him? Would you try?"

"Yes sir, I would."

"So you're good...!"

"I wouldn't say that."

"But why not say that? You'd help a sick and maimed person if you could. Most of us would if we could. But God doesn't."

The student does not answer, so the professor continues. "He doesn't, does he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer, even though he prayed to Jesus to heal him. How is this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can you answer that one?"

The student remains silent.

"No, you can't, can you?" the professor says. He takes a sip of water from a glass on his desk to give the student time to relax.

"Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?"

"Er...yes," the student says.

"Is Satan good?"

The student doesn't hesitate on this one. "No."

"Then where does Satan come from?"

The student falters. "From God"

"That's right. God made Satan, didn't he? Tell me, son. Is there evil in this world?"

"Yes, sir."

"Evil's everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything, correct?"

"Yes."

"So who created evil?" The professor continued, "If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works define who we are, then God is evil."

Again, the student has no answer. "Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things, do they exist in this world?"

The student squirms on his feet. "Yes."

"So who created them?"

The student does not answer again, so the professor repeats his question. "Who created them?" There is still no answer. Suddenly the lecturer breaks away to pace in front of the classroom. The class is mesmerized. "Tell me," he continues onto another student. "Do you believe in Jesus Christ, son?"

The student's voice betrays him and cracks. "Yes, professor, I do."

The old man stops pacing. "Science says you have five senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Have you ever seen Jesus?"

"No sir. I've never seen Him."

"Then tell us if you've ever heard your Jesus?"

"No, sir, I have not."

"Have you ever felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or smelt your Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception of Jesus Christ, or God for that matter?"

"No, sir, I'm afraid I haven't."

"Yet you still believe in him?"

"Yes."

"According to the rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your God doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?"

"Nothing," the student replies. "I only have my faith."

"Yes, faith," the professor repeats. "And that is the problem science has with God. There is no evidence, only faith."

---

And if I didn't believe, I would stop there ... but here I go!

---

The student stands quietly for a moment, before asking a question of His own. "Professor, is there such thing as heat?"

"Yes," the professor replies. "There's heat."

"And is there such a thing as cold?"

"Yes, son, there's cold too."

"No sir, there isn't."

The professor turns to face the student, obviously interested. The room suddenly becomes very quiet. The student begins to explain. "You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-heat, unlimited heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat, but we don't have anything called 'cold'. We can hit up to 458 degrees below zero, which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold; otherwise we would be able to go colder than the lowest -458 degrees."

"Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-458 F) is the total absence of heat. You see, sir, cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat we can measure in thermal units because heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it."

Silence across the room, a pen drops somewhere in the classroom, sounding like a hammer.

"What about darkness, professor. Is there such a thing as darkness?"

"Yes," the professor replies without hesitation. "What is night if it isn't darkness?"

"You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something; it is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light, but if you have no light constantly you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? That's the meaning we use to define the word."

"In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?"

The professor begins to smile at the student in front of him. This will be a good semester. "So what point are you making, young man?"

"Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is flawed to start with, and so your conclusion must also be flawed."

The professor's face cannot hide his surprise this time. "Flawed? Can you explain how?"

"You are working on the premise of duality," the student explains. "You argue that there is life and then there's death; a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought."

"It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it."

"Now tell me, professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?"

"If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young man, yes, of course I do."

"Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?"

The professor begins to shake his head, still smiling, as he realizes where the argument is going, a very good semester indeed.

"Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you now not a scientist, but a preacher?"

The class is in uproar. The student remains silent until the commotion has subsided.

"To continue the point you were making earlier to the other student, let me give you an example of what I mean."

The student looks around the room. "Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the professor's brain?" The class breaks out into laughter.

"Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor's brain, felt the professor's brain, touched or smelt the professor's brain? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, with all due respect, sir."

"So if science says you have no brain, how can we trust your lectures, sir?"

Now the room is silent, the professor just stares at the student, his face unreadable.

Finally, after what seems an eternity, the old man answers. "I guess you'll have to take them on faith."

"Now, you accept that there is faith, and, in fact, faith exists with life," the student continues. "Now, sir, is there such a thing as evil?"

Now uncertain, the professor responds, "Of course, there is. We see it everyday. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil."

To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light."

The professor sat down.

Re-Re-Focusing (Again for the Next Time)

I'm remembering the one education that "free schooling" gives its students.

No Matter What You "Learn," It's Worth Nothing without an Education in ...

FOCUS

And that's not just "paying attention to what you're trying to do," though doing that is part of FOCUS. And it's not just "doing one thing at a time," although that's another way of seeing FOCUS.

It's knowing that 'a singular (absolute) "master"' is more-efficient for one person than 'mulitudinous 'masters'.'

And notice there that I'm not directly referring to Our Father, as it is your choice that decides who/what the 'absolute-master' is.

And you don't decide by saying, "This is what I choose to serve."; you decide your master by FOCUS.

A Single Name for Your Master Degrades

My master is known by many names--some of which paint my master as too great to deserve the curse of my service, some of which paint my master as too unworthy to deserve the blessing of my service--so I don't name my master with a word, as that would limit the naming to "having been rehd of."

Your master (who-/what-ever you serve) probably has many names as well--I don't ask for specifics--so almost-all absolute masters opporate under the pronoun "God." (Again, I'm not here naming 'Our Father' with that pronoun; but that's the pronoun in which the United States trusts!)

But My FOCUS(es) Shows You My Master

"Take you to him I will, yehhhhs ... mm-hmm-hmm-hmmmm ... yehhhhs ..." Yes, you could say my purpose (the currently-usual part of my FOCUS) is to take you to "my master"—that many named entity which is only 'God' in part.

And public schooling--if it 'educates' you at all (rather than just "teaching you the right buttons to push")--shows you how/why to follow only one master.

My purpose is "helping you follow your master better." As you follow your master better, your master will unconsciously/inescapably follow my master better!

Oddity of Historical Commonality

Just last Sunday I learned that a leading member of Mars Hill was an alumnus of a high school here in Oklahoma City.

Not a 'Man from a Distant Land,' but a 'Prodigal Son Returning Home'

That's strange at first because I had imagined that 'he' was born-and-raised in ... his recent home-state, and perhaps had gone to a private school there (before coming to Oklahoma City to take advantage of the low-cost real estate here ... and excuu-u-uuuz meee for not writing 'he/she' there, but I was raised using the common American English pronounage).

Then again, the actual high-school he went to isn't too far removed from the 'private school'-stereotype my (rival) high-school used to 'diss' its members.

Yup-yup-yup, I was a "Pirate." And--though there was a partial de-sensatization during middle-school (where one-third to one-fifth of the students of Kenneth Cooper MS came from elementary-schools in the "Panther"-district)--the 'Panthers' still ended up regarded as the "rich kids" (in our fantasized sibling-rivalry).

Well, Not Siblings-by-Blood so much as -by-Location

There wasn't actually any rivalry, as there wasn't really any 'father' or 'mother' of which to be the "favorite." (And--if there were--it was some old retiree whose opinions would only matter to those who know him.)

No, the actual lineage there is actually closer to the "I'm My Own Grandpa"-story: the school-district started out as just 'Pirates,' and was like that until there got to be too many for one principal-staff to handle; then they added a new school, the "Patriots"; when there got to be 'too many' of them, the 'Panthers' were sent off to their school.

But that's all ancient history ... well, as far back as the late-70's/early-80's ... and 'we`re all in this together now!'

BE CAREFUL READING THE NEXT PARAGRAPH(S)!!

I felt like I had to say that,
because the following is dangerous to
think about. You might think of it as
a 'test of your faith.'

My recent realization is similar to the realization many people have about Jesus: Sure, He comes from His Father in Heaven; but He was born to a lowly carpenter's young wife in the smallest town in 'Israel' (Rome, Egypt, Judah, AdamAbramDavidville, whatever-you-want-to-call-it).

And sure, the lowly carpenter was the next-of-kin of the greatest-known-in-history king, making his wife the mother of the holiest-of-holy children, making the small town the holiest-of-holy birthplaces; but the delivery the stork made was--rather the usual kingly delivery (a superclean palace bath)--a rundown old stable behind a shabby-shabby inn.

I suppose that's saying that the "Son of Man" was not the "King of the Jews" until he acted like it (based on the fact that He actually was) and was then heralded as such. If I recall my Old Testament correctly, that is actually the way the original 'King of the Jews' became so—the Big Ugly was standing between his people and their freedom, he eliminated the Big Ugly, and the people fell in line behind him on his/their way to Paradise!

Spit on Me in the Unseen Shadows

I recently wrote a small 'op-ed' here about God's Existence being present-tense.

But I Am Not the "Introducer" and "Concluder"

You might notice the comment I wrote beneath it ... something like, 'and I would like to bring this up again at a Sunday meeting ...' (I thought there was a sort of understood "if the meeting's administrator 'appropriates it' (or whatever)" there, but I don't always read people's minds verbatim ... one of the many bad results of a time-warp).

One of the members of Mars Hill emailed me a note about the post ... something like 'your insight there is appreciated.'

That's just fine-and-dandy, but why was the comment not made there? I wonder, but only for a second. My mind then jumps to the most-logical conclusion:

At least That Member Is Ashamed of Me in front of Non-Members

But Isn't "Being Ashamed of Someone" a Sin?

Yes, and no ... one shold be ashamed of familiarity with someone known for doing most of the many things listed as "sins" ("ashamed" here meaning 'feeling as if markéd with an unremoveable, unconcealable stain'), but that feeling (the true sin) is simply a sign that you're unenlightened (whether that's because no one has shown you the light or because you don't know how to see it).

So, in other words, 'being ashamed of someone' is okay, as long as you don't act ashamed (making a public announcement of all the sins involved [in case someone hasn't heard them] and publicly cutting any connections from them to you, to your actions and to your goals).

Another example: Say you're am unrepentant homosexual who feels ashamed of the common media for their negative blur of Britney Spears' trials-and-tribuations. The sinless course of action is to use that media's own force as your guide in reparation.

You can see a first step in the process HERE.


Of course, there's the possibility that first complaint above is actually a blind plunge—one of the major dangers of Web 2.0. The member in question might have left a comment on the past post, a comment that I haven't seen or heard-of. It's also possible for the member to go back and write a comment now (only making me look bad to readers too hurried to pay attention to post-times).

The First Key to a Heavenly Life: Wear Cozy Underwear!

... oh, I know that the most-fundamental facet of Heavenly Life is ... ... something that doesn't directly involve any clothing at all; but the closest thing to it that I can 'legally' show you the way to (here) is cozy underwear!

Good Message, but Wrong Relation

Through BlogRush, I learned God's Message on the Web's interpretation of of Communion. It gives us two messages, "God invests All His Love in human life ... so should we!"

Is Your God's Name "I Was"?

But their reasoning behind that message was faulty. Maybe God did the stuff before, maybe He didn't; maybe it's 'blasphemous' of me to say this, but NOBODY SHOULD CARE WHAT GOD DID!

I mean, the Christian story is a really-good example of the power of persistence; and it's a good explanation as to the extent of the kind of love God has for us ... but it is happening now!

That is one of the ways of the afterlife: Every moment is eternal! Jesus Christ is betrayed, eternally; Judas Iscariot is regretful and hanged, eternally; Jesus Christ is crucified, eternally; Simon Peter disavows Him, eternally; Jesus Christ is resurrected and ascended, eternally ...

The use of past-tense (by godsmessageontheweb and others) is what seperates the "People of the Church" from the "Reality of Yahweh."

The True Faith Is the PostScript (P.S.) of the Church's Gathering

As every successful employment-agent knows, the P.S. of a resumé's cover-letter is the piece that wins an applicant the job sought. That's because the P.S. is the 'flame' of action that employers see will 'light the wick' of the fireworks your employment in a company will display.

The P.S. clearly connects You to the company's goals. In religious terms, your faith connects the Church's gathering to "Life, Life to the Full."

'Life, and Life to the Full' is the goal of every person alive. A church--being a 'united group of people'--is more-optimized when each of its member have 'Life, and Life to the Full.'

So that is the P.S. binding every action to a religion. For example; as a member of the Christian church, "surfing my 'friends'' pages I attach-above and -at the side" helps to optimize the Christian church; as a member/minister of the Spiritual Humanist church, "surfing my 'friends'' pages I attach-above and -at the side" helps to optimize the Spiritual Humanist church; and so on and so on, with any additional church I join.

In Need of Your 'UnDigg': "Death Clock"

They say, "Welcome to the Death Clock, the Internet's friendly reminder that life is slipping away... second by second. Like the hourglass of the Net, the Death Clock will remind you just how short life is."I would correct them, renaming it 'Sleep Clock, the Internet's friendly reminder that you can only work so much longer. Life is eternal, but you can only help us out with it while your body's still in its continually-waking cycle!'As they probably will not accept 'correction,' I need you to undigg the site (on its digg-page, scroll down and select 'undigg'). If you do not undigg the 'Death Clock,' you enlist in the Death's Army.

The Church Helps Pave the Road to Hell

A note I added to my Digg-Shout of some of my discussion of the "Golden-Compass"-scandal reminded me of one of the problems I have with Bible-religion.

That problem is, that the Bible was written to train followers to follow. It was written to serve the purposes of a king ... and not a king as he should be (the lowest servant of the people, only widely known for his dependability as a life-worker), but rather a king as 'one who is served by the people.'

I think of Jesus' words in the garden of Gethsemane just before Judas identified him to the Roman guard. What were Jesus' words? WE WILL NEVER KNOW.

The words 'Thy will, not mine, be done,' were put in His mouth! by the disciples who--though they knew He was serving the right power long-term--were "gentlemen." As 'gentlemen,' they knew that they had to communicate their philosophy (Quid pro Quo) with respect to the power of earthly kings who immediately applicable power (even though the philosophy even renders kings into useless wastes-of-space); thus was God a "King."

But "God" is NOW no such thing! That's not to say He cannot be as great or -small as a 'King'; but rather that He is not trapped in any one type of "Entity."

He is not a manifest being; He's more like a Power, or a Magnetic-Alignment (i.e. Positive, Negative, Gravitational, Perpetual, etc.... and I mean all those "adjectives" as 'nouns,' sort of like "positivity, et al." but purer). Thus we do not serve God by giving our goodness to Him, but rather in His name.

That's where the Dollar-Bill's "In God We Trust" comes in to play. See, 'God' is just a word ... a word assigned to who-/what-/when-/where-/why-/how-/to what extent-ever we assign it ... a word like "star," "priest," "daddy," "mommy" etc.

'God' may be Jah. 'God' may be Asmanahibbathet. Whatever you call 'Him' (my name for 'God,' leftover entrainment from 18 years of English Grammar), He is the eventual resting-place of the purest effects of your power.

We, The People, trust in our power's eventual purity. In God We Trust.

So you can see that I 'agree' that "God" wrote the Bible! But it rightfully be put in a 'non-monarchal context' (that's not exactly a 'democratic' context, unless you're thinking of "demo-" in terms of 'people' of the final evolution of human progeny).

GOLDEN COMPASS: The Road to Hell Paved by "His Dark Materials"

"The Golden Compass" isn't an out-and-out propoganda-piece for 'Satan and the Minions,' but it surely sets a random spin-cycle on the carefully aimed cannons into which good parents load the children (& the parents know the cannons are 'carefully aimed' for the betterment of ALL MANKIND, which "freedom of choice" only helps when choosers are wise.)

CATHOLICISM TARRED BY CHRISTIAN FILM

On December 7, Gener8Xion Entertainment, a prominent Protestant film company, will release “Noëlle.” Catholic League president Bill Donohue disputes the claim that the movie is merely “a parable of forgiveness and grace”:

“We’ve seen the movie and it’s a gem. In the synopsis provided by Gener8Xion, it accurately describes Jonathan Keene as ‘a young Catholic priest seemingly devoid of genuine human emotion’; his job is ‘to do what he does best: shut down a failing parish.’ Then there is ‘the child-like Fr. Simeon Joyce, a faithful but disillusioned priest who blatantly disregards church regulations, uses church monies to pay an old fisherman’s medical bills and spends most of his time drinking at the local pub.’ Both priests are portrayed as losers.

“Viewers learn that the only reason Fr. Keene became a priest is because he felt guilty about getting a girl pregnant when he was in college; to top things off, he pressured her to have an abortion. Fr. Joyce, the alcoholic, has serious reservations about celibacy and his idea of heaven is a jolly good Christmas party. Fr. Joyce tells Fr. Keene he wants to marry a woman named Marjorie so he can help raise her illegitimate kid, saying he ‘made a vow to God not to the Church.’ But Fr. Keene, a first-class klutz, is also in love with the same woman: he is shown bolting in the middle of Midnight Mass to be with her, knocking over a filled chalice and ripping off his vestments.

“Throughout the film, confession is trivialized, celibacy is ridiculed, the Virgin Mary is disrespected, nuns are belittled, last rites are mocked, and priestly vocations are caricatured. In short, that which is uniquely Catholic is trashed. However, the plot and the acting are so deliriously absurd that it is impossible for us to get too worked up about this flick.

“It means nothing that the movie has a pro-life message. Stereotypes about Protestant ministers abound, raising the question, Why didn’t Gener8Xion choose to mock one of their own clergy? Similarly, given that the film’s writer, David Hall, has said that his primary interest was in ‘dealing with hypocrisy,’ why didn’t he consult with Sen. Charles Grassley about all those ‘prosperity church’ pastors being investigated for ripping off their flock? We know why, and that’s why the Catholic League exists.”

What I think "tarred" Catholicism the most was the usury that seperated the church from its Freemason roots! Whine about that!
