| Hi again redryder I don't know if I've always "loved" God, but as far as I can remember I have always wanted Him, I have always desired to know Him. I don't mean that to sound self-righteous. I can only remember back to the age of 4 when I consciously asked Jesus into my heart... I don't k... |

Thanks! This has been most enlightening.
Every now and then on this sea of mortal existence we need regular course corrections, some minor, some major but all necessary. I appreciate the input! |

| Well...social and political activism and advocacy are important forms of service I think. Opposing fascism, racism, tyranny, greed, profiteering, and the repression of human rights by vicious minorities is a duty and a social and ethical expression of our morality and religious experience I believe... |

| We are the Architects of our reality, personally and collectively. To tolerate the imposition and evil of false liberty (unrighteous dominion) is to deny and delay true liberty and human destiny. 103:5.5 (1134.3) Human happiness is achieved only when the ego desire of the self and the altruistic ur... |

| Apparently, Jesus did teach us to "push back against evil"!!! That push back is to be an active response that mitigates and redirects such error as false liberty, license, and unrighteous dominion . He did also teach us to not take it personally or act out of personal insult or injury. And... |

| This poem by Edgar Guest sums it up pretty well I think. Sermons We See by Edgar Guest Next I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day; I'd rather one should walk with me than merely tell the way. The eye's a better pupil and more willing than the ear, Fine counsel is confusing, but example's alw... |

"It is the fruits of the Spirit that must be expressed, not sloganisms and doctrines or creeds or beliefs sanctimoniously imposed on others."

| But is the author suggesting public exposure of Luciferian B.S.? Debate and dissension are perhaps inevitable in any social situation, but unkind and cutting remarks and snide criticisms are unloving behavior aren't they?
