Mass confusion...and yet everyone is right in their own right. The component of emotions that run contradictory to our beliefs can give the impression of a person being at war with himself. The significant benefits one can monitor and achieve with the disciplines of self-control, versus giving way to every urge and desire of the human body's pleasure, is tremendous. The great division of religions into sects of individualism and social acceptance makes this process erode.
Confusion...it exists as evident as evil and it's devilish origin or good and it's reverential fruit of righteousness. Where the masses may grow in confusion there is the ever excellent truth of matters. The reasoning behind it all. The root of the cause. Though the waters of truth may get murky to some along their path of enlightenment. One thing has been evident to me. That is that I'm first a believer in Jesus Christ of Nazareth as the embodiment of the Everlasting Father full of grace and truth. The sole incarnation of God as man. Question ethnicities, study geneologies and theologies as I have done over the years and still... I conclude without reserve that he is who he said he was...and is...and is to come! Secondly, that I'm an American that for the greater part of his citizenship has been lied to in a traditional fashion.
There are many who disagree with my belief. Yet, share my citizenship as an American. Can two walk together lest they agree? No! My values are different. If we value different things, we can't equally barter or make good business between us. Where will the peace be established with people who believe contrary to me? Well one of the beautiful things about the God I serve is that he requires the same distribution of Love toward my enemies as toward my brothers and sisters. The Love between my neighbor as my children, mother or father. I am who I am based on my principles and lifestyle so as much that rests in me there will be peace. However, any blatant offense to my belief will not muzzle my right to freely express it. The traditions of journalistic reporting allow me to give unbiased facts regarding my history as an American. My right to seek and establish a truth I can accurately pass down to my children, community and nation.
In light of this tradition I'll read a few quotes from the 28th president of the United States Woodrow Wilson. (1913-1921)
"I have unwittingly ruined my country." (After signing the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 presented by Edward Mandell House, Chief Advisor and Illuminist)
"...there is a power so organized, so subtle, so complete, so persuasive, that they had no speak above their breath when they speak condemnation of it." --President Woodrow Wilson
If that quote is accurate, I wonder who that persuasive power is? Ah, History...his-story...whose story?
I am quite humble before such a strong feelings of one believes. I do respect your point and yet I cannot agree completely. I though respect the writer to stand of it. and most of all to express it so eloquently.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading! I'm glad that I have readers who disagree with me. That's the beauty of America! We can't Love our neighbor without knowing our neighbor. I know overall everybody universally believes in love or some form of it. Peace and love to you!
