@Frank Apisa,
Going to talk in a different way and lets hope you guys see the example it not my way but still understand of the law
I am going to use a real world example to get my point across about the difference of our two approaches. I am going to use the example of the war on drugs. Because I am going to use that example.
I was watching a series about the war on drugs the other day narrated by Samuel L. Jackson. It made the point about how people don't take drugs out of some moral failure. They take drugs in order to try to get, or replace, something they need. They didn't necessarily get too far into that, but I say it is the love that I have been trying to tell you about. They made a specific example of cannabis, saying it was better at imitating the natural chemicals present in the brain, when people feel loved enough that their brains are orchestrated accordingly, than other substances, like alcohol.
Well, in country after country drugs are illegal. People go to jail. People have their lives messed up with compliance sentencing. People get addicted. The program went into the extreme lack of success in dealing with this sort of thing that programs like AA have had. They only help a small percentage. They make you confess you are a sinner every time you stand up in a meeting. They are your people. They come with lots of promises, but are not really any help.
This only gets worse as whole economic regions succumb to poverty, or strictures implemented by people like you. That's when people are really oppressed in their souls and need more help. That's when they need love more. That's when you judge them more!
Seems like there is an answer. Portugal had a terrible problem with drugs, until they decided to legalize all drugs. I mean all drugs. Guess what, the country did not descend into a drug induced coma. They found they had trouble with the same small group of people that you might expect, about 5 percent of the population, but that trouble with the rest of the people went away. You see, they got what they needed, without having to go to some illegal source for it. It didn't mushroom into the fantasy that the right wing imagined in their need to judge others. It did not indulge the right wing's panic. It' just get worse and worse each day. People decided that not us.
I have been telling you that the root problem we are dealing with has to do with the knowledge of good and evil. We are not judged by God for indulging in it, we are judged by ourselves. God put the tree in the garden so that we could learn not to use the knowledge of good and evil. It was not as you say, that it was a test that we failed. We are not polluted by sin. We are polluted by our need for love, if you will. We will commit all sorts of atrocities to get it. We will abuse. We will hurt and kill. It happens every day. It isn't that we need to end our need for love. It is that we need to find out how to actually get it. Many of us think we have it, but we are deluding ourselves because what we do to others to gain that confidence can be appalling.
Don't you realize what you are saying when you say these things about judgment? You know, that we have to satisfy some arcane arrangement before God before He will love us. Before He will save us. That just tells us how unloved we are. What you are really talking about, and should be happy about, is what it is like to spend time with God rather than without Him. That's admirable, but the wall you put up toward others isn't. Stop puttin wals that are against God put walls for humans but not for God.
The concept of right of way is the answer. It does not indulge in the knowledge of good and evil. It respects all persons equally. I have talked about this before. It's too much to get into now, on the end of such a post as this, but it is capable of distributing resources as people act to need them without limiting others who may want the same. It is the opposite of the legal approach that all of mankind is currently taking. Because there is no such thing as good and evil, not as you and your ilk profess. As I said in a previous post, He does want to stop us from how we seek the wrong ways of getting love, that distort and misshape us. He does not want that contorted reality for us, the one of conforming to legality. Good and evil is giving to us but we can do good isntead of evil and that is what he wants we are not Gods, only God is God. And only God judges God !
Humans have fallacy that is not true and grows and grows because we do not like to admit our errors but say God is wrong for giving our life. Really he asked us ebfore he sent us here for a mission you ahven't found what God sent you for this an example only.
