Emile,
Perhaps you should question what spirit you are filled with, or not filled with. Look at your Jesus himself. In being spirit filled, he did not find himself separated from his brothers, but connected to them. He was the one who would stop to help the beaten stranger. Someone of your viewpoint would be happy he was beaten, because he was a deserving Jew. The separation is not a separation of you from the world, but the separation of the good in you from the 'not' good in you, that is keeping you separate from the world, and perpetuating the separation of all God's children. You appear to me to set yourself upon the mountain to identify those below who should wash your feet. Isn't this backwards from what 'your' Jesus taught?
My view is a God of love, life, and inclusion. 'Your' God, a different God than probably anyone elses on this board, is based solely upon separation, not within yourself, but in the world. The Bible is not based upon 'anti' or 'not', it is based on I AM. Your views as presented recently consist almost exclusively of 'anti' this, and 'anti' that. There is no 'anti' as in anti-Christ but that which you seek to create.
Perception of 'anti', is only a response of fear to difference, and lack of understanding. I wish you healing.
Peace,
Darrin |
