Doing God's work

Good at thinking your more deserving of heaven then others? Have you had the right conditions to pull off a morally easy life, thinking God favors you because your more righteous then others?

Naturally people water down the good news. The religious people try to perfect it's opposite, the others either don't want to do it's opposite or just don't want to believe it's opposite. The "good news" school of thought may be the worlds most fascinating subject, but certainly doesn't seem to be known by many. Not everyone sees a light when they look at the hill, indeed, most see an oppressive system of freedom.

Shore the good news is that the righteousness needed for salvation can't be manufactured by us on earth. So what if it can only be made by God and come from heaven. It doesn't matter that receivers of righteousness get into heaven, producers don't. That certainly doesn't stop 99.9% of preaching about God being about how to produce righteousness.

What a funny little belief system. Producers are always busy trying to show God how amazing they are. But God prefers the company of receivers, who believe in him being all powerful, merciful, graceful, loving. Unlike the producers they truly believe they are nothing without Him, that is, they are not God without Him. He is the potter and they are the receiving end. And receive they do, playing with Jesus in the fields while the others are outside in an interview with there false god's.

Those playful life-enjoying receivers have lot's of wonderful respect for God too. The producers want him to be a runny nosed little child who needs to hold your hand for re-assurance of your strength whenever it gets frightened.

Still doing God's work?

People naturally snigger at the light, like Eve in the garden with her bitchy friend. They don't want to believe in an all powerful God who chases the humble God-righteous heart and keeps the self-righteous producing snides out. I suppose He just doesn't want heaven filled with people who are good at following rules but love criticising, finger pointing, judging, manipulating, whispering and sniggering at the light they don't want to believe in.

Holy Father O'Keeth

I said father O'Keef is a good man. She said he was also a very holy man but doesn't take it to far. Naturally i had to do what most people don't and politely move on with positive responses. I could of said holiness was one of those things like righteousness and salvation that can only be manufactured in heaven by God, and received as a free gift by the humble who pray Luke 18:9-14.

But that would have been ostentatious.

Letting Him be Him

We really have no trouble believing that no matter how good the ground is, it still can't produce a plant without a seed. However we also believe we can produce Godly righteousness without a seed. Takes all sorts i suppose.

The dirt should stop trying to clean itself and just receive the seed and let it grow.

Realy good news

Ask a pharisee, "in a nutshell, what's the good news? They say "We come to you with the good news. Not the really good news though, don't believe what those "born-agains" say. God is not that kind and generous and powerful. But if you devote your life to spreading our belief system" they say "you might make it to paradise."

Sometimes i wish they would be a little more honest.

More light

Are you trying to show God your worthy? which by the way is exulting self. Human beings can't produce the kind of righteousness needed for entry into heaven. You actually need to have God's own righteousness inside you. Since "only God is righteous" and "all our righteous works are as filthy rags" and "all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God" righteousness can't be manufactured by us down here on earth, it can only be received. The only way God can look at you and see righteousness is for Him to give it to you, therefore our righteousness is based on receiving not producing. It can't be worked off because that makes humans boast before God. The only way to get into heaven is to believe that Jesus died for your ability to get in; God sent His righteous son to die for what keeps you out, and offers you the free gift of salvation to received as the only way.

Some say "no tanks, god, you wait till i show you what i have done." And the righteous live by faith and the sinners keep producing death.

Twotie fruities from that tree

"Two tootie fruities of that big bountiful tree that is "pleasing to the eyes and desirable to make one wise" Gen 3:6

1. Kevin's Communist Manifesto. When asked how he can assure that business won't be harmed he replied:- "we are in the business of getting every detail right. This is what we'll do." An answer both weak and awful. At another time he grumbled in true left style that "business has to much power, government should manage the economy more." At least Kevin Rudd is honest. He's a leftist pin up boy. He is Max's "intellectual elite" appealing to there ignorant working class about the fairness and equality of electing an Ossy dictator.

2. The Watchtower's gentle grip. "Brooding over the watch tower" waters is a good source of fun. There language is smooth and cunning. Jehovah's witnesses work the hardest to spread their version of the gospel of good news, yet their numbers pale in comparison to others. That these people are trying to show God and there organisation and there neighbour that they should be allowed into paradise is a no brainer. The slavery, manipulation and fear by the organisation played on those poor little sheep is awful.

Light

Can you seriously walk into an empty room at night with a light on and say that out of all the 1 centre meter squares of space in the room, yours, somewhere down in that dark corner, say 15J, is closer to representing the light in the darkness the then 1 centimeter square that contains the 1cm wire lit up by 240 volts?

It sounds silly but that's what religions are doing.
