Re: been there- Ok I'll bite

Only when a person seeks martydom and wants to have a crowd pat them on the back and cheer them on as a hero, will they have the attitude that it is easier to post instead of join a grassroots organization. I'm not saying that grassroots organizations cannot be of any benefit to society, but the very subtle tendency of them to be militant and competitive is a very strong distraction from discovering OBJECTIVE truth and exposing the fallacies that have led us all to believe the imagined and proverbial SUBJECTIVE truth. The pen is mightier than the sword.

I am anonymous, I will never have anyone pat me on the back. I would consider it condescending and patronizing, but also a shameful betrayal of "the truth" if I accepted such a gesture,...this is why it can be considered an act of kindness and decency not to offer some people praise or ask them to acknowledge their accomplishments, for they are lovers of "the truth", not lovers of 'self' and you will damage their humility. My Lord is the only one who is able to reward me and is doing so now on this earth (everlasting life is NOT a reward, it is a GIFT of His is graciousness).

The Zealots were a grassroots organization (freedom fighters for the Israelites), but Jesus went to the cross instead of Barabbas because of the people's preference for a murderer to be set free. The politics of The Zealots illustrates that they each exhibited a kind of 'miltary complex' of their own because society in general (human nature) is [necessarily] competitive and aggressive against each other, we just don't realize that fact because, in human nature, our habit is not to call or think of evil as "EVIL", we call it "naughty" or "sneaky" or a "necessary evil" and rationalize many reasons to justify our aggressiveness/offense towards each other. We choose to see "the log" as being in the other person's eye, not in ours. In short, people resist the bible, God and Christianity because the bible is a 'spiritual mirror' and shows us what is really in our hearts. It will show us the ugliness of an ugly soul. The sincere will not just accept Jesus as their Savior, but will learn from God's spirit, but not all become good students of the Spirit and become lovers of "...the truth...", John 14:6). Tweet
