Yep; interesting. I remember discussions a while back, here, that were trying to tie Billy Graham to the trafficking networks, and Nixon, by proxy, to all that as well. If Nixon was clean, then that makes sense as an attack, here, and his vilification throughout history was a successful wrap-up smear to cover up the rela crimes that Nixon may have been trying to get into public view.
People have some MAJOR reconciliation to do with regards to religion; ESPECIALLY Christianity. When I tell people to focus on the texts in red, it seems to go mostly ignored.
The entirety of the Bible is a pretty interesting compilation of thought. Jesus was literally red-texting the important shit.
"Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her."
For all have sinned, and fall short of the Glory of God. The Pharisees didn't have an out for this because since the beginning of time, God has ALWAYS been merciful.
“Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
The Pharisees were frightened of Jesus because he spoke the Truth to their lies. What was he writing in the ground?
“Then neither do I condemn you,”Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”
Jesus acknowledged she had committed sin. Jesus did NOT condemn her. He had already forgiven her.
The Pharisees used the law to bound people into servitude of their false religion. That religion had all the followers of God doing everything the Pharisees desired, not what God wanted. Jesus usurped the power structure; the control over the masses.
The Devil loves to bring up the past, and it was a lesson I learned hard with some of the folks I've remained highly suspicious of throughout this entire journey. I'm not going to go through the long list of names, but Q saying "There are more good than bad" is tying DIRECTLY into this very lesson in scripture. Do you need more evidence?
Watch this again, and think long/hard about it:
The law serves the purpose of the diagnosis of your condition (sin). The grace from God is the cure. The instruction Jesus provides is the way to the cure (The Way, Truth, and Life).
I'm quite aware of how legalism has destroyed the faith-based way of life. I'm absolutely familiar with the oppressive restraint that the doctrine of penance has wrought on believers. Praying for forgiveness, then moving on, gives the false impression that the slate needed cleaning so as to reset for the next time you fall. The faith-based walk presumes the stumbles ahead, and focuses on the strength to endure those shortcomings, and yourself, in the process. The "power of positive thinking", as it were, is the death knell to the doctrine of DEFEATISM.
The Pharisees' constant ruling over the people seeking direct fellowship with God was why Jesus went directly after them, and showed Grace to everyone else. Jesus even brought Himself to hear the pleas of a woman who descended from the line of Canaan to heal her daughter because she exhibited great faith.
Under OT leadership, she, and her entire family, should've been stoned for simply being Canaanite. You do remember what they were doing that angered God so much, right? Jesus hearing this woman's pleas is God grace demonstrated PERFECTLY.
Sounds a lot like today, doesn't it? Are patriots not literally helping with the plan to round up these monsters? Is the real purpose of the plan to remind us all who we really are? God lead Joshua (Israel) to the land of Canaan. Today, we're being led to learn about how Canaan still operates to this day. Are we going to fulfill the mission this time?
