When someone who professes to be Christian thinks that they not only are not just an instrument of God but actually are to carry out his will and are all-knowing of that will...

Run, do not walk, to the nearest exit.
They probably also believe that the planets orbit around the earth in a perfect circle cause that's "perfect", and may decide that they can deny gravity next.

In the old days, it was known as the sin of "Vainglory"

When someone who professes to be Christian thinks that they not only are not just an instrument of God but actually are to carry out his will and are all-knowing of that will...

Then they more than likely REPRESENT the Government I had described earlier .....

...and every way they regard others is totally 'Righteous' - true and just.

THANK YOU !!! Silverbird for demonstating a TRUTH that no one can stand against.

IF someone professes to be a 'Christian' -- does NOT Wholly identify with the GRACE and LOVE of GOD through Jesus Christ -- and are not basking in that SPIRIT -- and striving to empty themselves so that GOD may take greater and greater control.....

...then there is NO WAY they can carry out the Will of GOD -- for that WILL is filled with the Greatest and most wonderful GRACE and demonstates HIS GLORY alone -- all would be done to make that GLORY known!!!!

WE - all of us - or any of us -- carry out HIS WILL by acknowledging HIM more and more in everything we do. It has to be a constant 'surrendering to GOD and striving to let HIM fill - and control - and take charge of all we can possibly offer -- and that is giving GOD everything .....

NO ONE can possibly be 'all knowing of HIS WILL' - for GOD is GOD alone and the very best any of us can do --- is strive each and every day to let our LIFE flourish in HIM -- and make HIM everything we strive to know and rejoice in HIS Power and Strength ...

...and Praise HIM for the LOVE and GRACE we find and keep finding

...REJOICE in knowing HIS GLORY IS REAL !!!

Run, do not walk, to the nearest exit.
They probably also believe that the planets orbit around the earth in a perfect circle cause that's "perfect", and may decide that they can deny gravity next.

In the old days, it was known as the sin of "Vainglory"

TODAY -- Those who are convinced they are all 'knowing of that will' will protest at others funerals.... will openly burn the Koran.... and all the more will go throughout the world taking whatever they want and killing whoever they want ... and serving only the interests of the few with all the wealth and power

I have no argument with you at all.

The caps -- my sweet darling friend -- and the dresses she has chosen are entirely her 'independent decision' and there is NO WAY she would ever in any manner try to push that on others.

The only issue I have, Steady, is when someone thinks they must dress a certain way to be thought "spiritual". some sects require certain dress codes for women to dress a certain way all the time, no matter what the circumstances. I have no problem with simple inexpensive clothing a person enjoys wearing routinely, nor with wearing what's culturally appropriate to the situation.

If "blue" is doing it strictly for herself given that "she's" temporarily on Mars, why would she hope others would start dressing the same way? would it make them more spiritual if they do? doesn't spirituality start on the inside?:blink:

And as you say, she's the only female there on Mars, so who is she hoping will start dressing like her and why? [/QUOTE]

OooH thank you sooo very much for this Alevie -- cause I didn't want to leave with any friction -- I mean I don't have many friends but the ones I do have -- mean everything to me.

Darling, she doesn't feel that way at all. Not in the least. The most central POINT she strove to bring out ---

---is that she felt a huge need to wear clothing that is highly attached to who and what she is - and THAT has to be to the people regarded as the lowest and least important. She picked material that would 'support' the ones that count for nothing ....

...in this Story -- there is no pushing of dress style -- please know I would NEVER ALLOW -- some BS (as you rightfully point out) to be a part of our story.

So --- whew !!! -- we are one -- I totally agree with you. It is part of the 'garbage doctrines' I mentioned earlier.

Thanks Alevie !!


If "blue" is doing it strictly for herself given that "she's" temporarily on Mars, why would she hope others would start dressing the same way?

Baby, she is not remotely thinking about people dressing like a woman. Her point is 100% -- if I am here -- then let everything I do be done in such a way to bring recognition to those who have no status and yearn to be 'recognized'.

And to wear clothes that are not only 'modest' -- but are totally practical --- and can be uses in other ways when they wear out.

Alevie -- when I turn the story over to Blue -- I put all my FAITH in her and trust her -- and I believe she totally merits that.

I found her response -- very in the Spirit of God's Grace and Glory

would it make them more spiritual if they do? doesn't spirituality start on the inside?:blink:

Oooh Alevie -- Please give her some credit. In the story - at this moment Blue is very Spiritual -- and only because she had reached a place in GOD'S HEART - and SHE has honestly found GOD on such an enormous level --- that is the only reason why she arrived on Mars. Is was NOT her choosing -- but GOD who made it happen.

She had only what she arrived in -- no other clothes... OK ... so I felt it was 'unfair' to her ... to not have other clothes

Spirituality totally starts on the INSIDE -- Please go back and read her expressions -- they are deeply spiritual -- wholly in tune with all I could have hoped for

Baby, read the story now -- the way it's been more recently and you will see LOVE and LIFE are very much flourishing -- and LOVE and LIFE come from GOD -- 100%


And as you say, she's the only female there on Mars, so who is she hoping will start dressing like her and why?

[/QUOTE]

As the ONLY Female -- she is totally confident that how she dresses is hugely 'important' -- because all will see the beauty of GOD in her; and all the more they will have to recognize that 'clothing' made and used only by 'the Untouchables' -- BRING them the recognition they deserve.

I hope we're good --- I am an hour late for a sunday school potluck dinner tonight ---

But I didn't want to go -- feeling things were messed up

 

[alevin]

I know what you're trying to communicate Steady, it wasn't necessarily completely clear to all. I think it's much clearer now. Now get home to that potluck. We're good.

Thank You !!!!!

I am very 'contented' and filled with PEACE.


You're wonderful !!!
