Manstural rags! : D The lord will see what the "sh-t" he pleases! lol I'm not sure why you want to post in the thread of a man who, like I, you said you'd refuse to respond to. The subject is important to you? If being a man of your word is more important to you than being a man, then of course you can deny your brothers who 'in here' have words in common. It's not a problem for me. If it's a problem for you if I speak at you rather than with you then you can always take it up with God. ;D The will to life is not bound by law, as you will admit, and yet you think the spirited don't speak on their own authority, but in obeyance to the spirit! You do not know command. You do not know your self, as proven by your thinking you sin. I can lie for the truth. I prefer to speak plainly. ---Reason is the sole thing you do not stand by in your actions. You did not understand thedope or I? Very well. Or at least it would be if you could articulate why it is you imagine you can't.
Too bad pride is not on the list of christ teaching for I am sure that particularly insidious form of self loathing has been thoroughly explored by yourself. Honor is personal integrity and you cannot dishonor or disrupt personal integrity. Everyone has their pets and no one really cares about yours. It is not their job to feed them for you.
Neither sin nor righteousness are acts. To sin is to miss the sign of god, an error in perception. Our acts arise spontaneously from our premises or our model of good. It is a false precept regarding sin that creates the perception of a battle between good and evil and this battle's only function is to destroy meaning. There is only one function we have, to create the good, the beautiful, and the holy. Everyone is devoted to this cause. We all come into the world thinking there is good and we ought to have it, no matter the outward appearance of their actions. The motive is always the same. If you perceive your good as absent, you will behave quite spontaneously according to that premise and being that good is the most important thing in everyone's life, the reactions can be desperate. If you are assured of your good, then your actions will arise quite spontaneously from that premise as well. Righteousness is being in concert with real things and cannot be had unless we share it with our brother.
[Shivaya wrote].....They know the model of good, and they know they are going against it, [S-word's Response].....And they all know the model of what is bad, for they have written that law themselves, "My children shall honour and obey me." Thou shalt not jump into the cot with my spouce." "Thou shalt not steal from me or mine." "Thou shalt not kill me or mine, etc, etc, etc." What sort of person is it, who would break the very laws that they impose on all of those around them?
It is not the model of good, but theirs. Yes they may know that it is not acceptable, but their good outweighs that consideration.
Yea, I had a mate, and everytime he went into this pub the barman would catch him. he;d say something like, "Hey Bob was just here looking for you" and me mate would answer, "Bob who?" To which the barman would say,"Bob down and kiss my bum." Time after time he'd catch me poor mate. So I says to him, "Next time you go in there, say something about Eileen, and when he say, "Eileen who?" You say, "I'll lean over and you can kiss mine." Well in he goes and says to the barman, "Hey, have you seen Eileen? and the barman answers, "Yea, She just went out with Bob," and he says, "Bob who?"
