Youre right, semantics is everything. The words themselves are just images of the truth we are trying to convey, and I suppose in the end reflects on how we choose to "see" the world we live in.
I believe all of us are more or less in agreement as to the who and what, and all that when it comes to judgment.
I choose to express my belief on judgement in this way for a reason.
I really like the idea of living with "Fear" of God.
To me, the highest ideal is to live as a God fearing man.
Not because I am scared of a white man in the sky that will fire and brimstone me until kingdom come if I give you a dirty look, no.
It is not God's punishment I fear, but his Judgement.
They say God is always watching. Of course God is watching, his name is I AM.
And I fear my own judgement.
I know that I am all and don't want to let all of us down.
Nobody else knows about the cookie I stole, but I sure do, and you bet your ass I am judging myself, for better or for worse. For I AM.
I want the cookie, and it would be so easy, but it would be betraying our divine heritage.
Act like God or fear Gods judgement as unworthy.
Ultimately, when you act in a way that is "ungodly" you are just letting yourself down.
This is why I say I am a God fearing man. The Ego is just me, and wants to steal a cookie. God is All, God is Love, and God is always watching.
I guess it helps keep me in check. I fear letting down God more than I fear letting down my Ego.
Usually..
But again, its just semantic.
