hi, Peter.
the stand i've taken with respect to the Teaching of Jesus is as i've
described it.
believe it or not my Faith is actually very private. i prefer to just
be 'alone' with God. has to do with my self-knowledge.
it's just that, through my own experience, i became, i'm sure, in
only a small way, familiar with what the Human 'side' of what Jesus
experienced, and decided to take a stand on His behalf, because i
understood the take-your-breath-away Sorrow inherent.
it's as i've said - Ethics.
when i saw that all the important stuff within NDT was just stuff
that Jesus so gently reached-out to 'humanity' with, i'd've been a
Plagerist and a Selfish-Coward if i'd not acknowledged Jesus'
Priority.
Jesus poured Himself out.
and 'science' is 'two' uppity to acknowledge what's in-there - even
though the need for exactly what's in-there is great?
doesn't compute, especially when everyone in Science is expected to
be honorably-vigilant with respect to Priority.
i understand the knee-jerk 'don't-talk-about-religion' stuff, but
what i'm doing is =just= simple Ethics. one doesn't 'deny', 'usurp',
'distort', etc., the work of others. one finds one's own problem on
which to work. and if one finds that someone else did-it before him,
then, one acknowledges Priority.
besides, if i understand how much hurts, then, to the degree of such
understanding, it'd be a pathetic statement with respect to myself if
i didn't take such a stand.
so i do.
i understand that it's 'Hard', and i don't expect anyone else to
understand. and do expect folks to 'have-a-field-day' with such,
especially those who want to see me 'committed', anyway.
it's just that i understand, understand?
i take-seriously that which i understand.
explore it.
hammer-on-it.
discard what's extraneous.
leaving only that which is 'immovable'.
solid-foundation stuff.
makes all the difference with respect to understanding-more, because
it 'outlaws' 'wisful-thinging-fantasy' stuff.
"born-again"?
i just 'went-along-for-the-ride' until it 'knocked-me-off-my-horse'
:-)
seems to me it was always in-there.
'dormant'.
just needed to be Awakened.
Cheers, Peter, and Thank You for what you do, and for how long you've
done-it. i still hope to make it to Austrailia before i'm through
with Living. just can't see my way there, yet. if i make it, i'll buy
you a Faawstaas.
