Truth

As I see it God is not a Dictator, Does not judge -- Judgment is the negative truth residing in His All Knowing being -- As forgiveness, the faultless depth of His Ever Present Mercy -- ------------------------------- Penitence leads to Sacred Balance ------------------------------- We judge ourselves, the cause and effect of Mental duality -- --------------------------------- Sin the eventual personification of good -- illness, pain and suffering, leads to the resurrection of purity -- ------------------------------ No ultimate defeat can come from Divine Love! --------------------- Lighten the duration of burden~ Forgive yourself and all others -- Do then as your Father does in Heaven....

I am not an ordained minister -- just took it on my own to serve humanity, best I can. The farthest think from my mind is attempting to bring others to Christ though fear of damnation -- Love is a much larger Ark.

Just another thought came to me, in regards to judgement. When we tell our children to do as we say, but not as we do...how far has that gotten us?

If anyone wants to hear the Perfect Story, of Perfect Love, God's love expressed perfectly, read the story of Desmond Doss. We bit the apple, we wanted to know everything as God does -- present, violent humanity is part of the journey. Free Will is as horrible as the eventual greatness. Go it alone, keep misinterpreting God's substance and our relationship, and earth will remain a living hell for many. Again, just my opinion. I know nothing emphatically I admit. Soup gives you great opportunity to enlighten others.

Well, we differ on this one. In the end, God does, indeed, judge. It is on us not to judge each other, because that's (one of) His job(s). (And if we refrain from judging our fellows, God will credit it to us for righteousness). God judges us with fairness and with love. But judge He must, and judge He does. ~ Just sayin,' Gershon

Thank you, Gershon, for bravely engaging with others...no truth will men ever come to, without sincere, civil conversations. May I ask you a question? -- you say God judges with Love (I am not disagreeing with you) -- but then explain to me, how can a perfect loving God create a flawed being, that could live a life of evil, and then send His flawed man (those who blow it) to an eternity in Hell Fires? Or do you not believe in Hell Punishment? And if you do not believe in hell punishment...then what is Judgement to you? My poem is not about there being no Judgement. My poem is about, our behavior judges us -- and God redeems us through his love despite. Pure love cannot be judgement. It is mercy and forgiveness. So, if you do not believe in a hell of punishment, but in a merciful purification place perhaps, the degree of washing depending on the amount of personal dirt...then you agree with me. Our behavior, or self judges us -- and God redeems us through gentle loving agitation.
