      XPost: alt.philosophy.taoism, alt.magick, alt.buddha.short.fat.guy       XPost: alt.religion.christian.roman-catholic       From: a202010@mail.com              God is Breathing eternally God.              when the breathing Spirit moves forward       in some utterance, this Word brings       the Spirit in to a 'new place'              a 'new place' that comes in to being       simultaneously with the utterance.              before this beginning, God knows God       as the private inspiration of God.              before this beginning, Love is a       private matter known only in God.              one can suggest that The Word which is       always present in Spirit and with Spirit       summarily formulates an encapsulation       of God's own Spirit, and,        as God speaks       this unseen Word, that which was not seen,       becomes seen, and God is beginning to show       that which God has always known.              in this beginning, of material and       non-material structures, is seen the       evidence of the unseen Word        and, as       the unseen Word is made manifest,       so also, the Spirit is realized       in this 'new place'                                   strange is the singular declaration       made by God and conceived in       the human Mary,        is       different from the multiple       declarations made by God which       resulted in the material universe.              which is to say: the material universe       is brought forth in discrete stages,        whereas        Jesus,       that ultimate manifestation of The Word,       came about in one complete declaration.              if we say that each declaration made by God       carries an exacting image of God's own presence,       then, the multiple declarations made in bringing       forth the material universe, each resemble       particular manifestations of Theistic attribution,              whereas, that singular declaration which       conceives Christ, is the Spirit made Word        made material.                     God has taken hold of this 'new place' and              the multiple manifestations all reside as One.                            The Word made manifest is God,              but, a summed duplication of God is not God,              this drama serves first to demonstrate       with crystal clarity that God is God       and there can be no other God.              while God knew that God's own Spirit       would be presented with undeniable       clarity in God's own Word,              God can also be aware that any summation       of all Theistic attribution would remain       short of the Fullness of Deity in Love,              but, any lack of recognition of God's       Ultimate Preeminence in All        found in any summed       duplication of God's attributes must       be met with the strictest Judgement       until such time as God's own Mercy       is to be correspondingly bestowed.              to be 'not God' is not a crime.              to be 'not God' and not comprehend,        must be treated as a crime.              such chastizement is unutterably profound              subsequently, the removal of all blot is              Joy unspeakable and full of Glory.                                          God acts according to God's own Will       founded in that Love which human beings       aspire to comprehend.                                   God spins out a governing authority        as independant Beings.                     before we examine the purpose to which       these independant Beings were spun out,              we would consider that in spinning out       these structural elements as independant       characteristics, these elements first take       on the attribute of 'not God' inasmuch as       they become as creations, and therefore,       God must redeem these structural elements,       themselves, in to full unity with God.              what could be considered strange, is that       any of these God breathed characteristics       could turn around, and view God as subject       to -it's- authority.              so, now, looking at this view, we can       easily see a potential for God's own       creation to turn on God and convince       itself that God belongs in       -its- dominion.                     the Creator being ruled by a creation.                     such authority as God already possesses       in God's own Perfect Will in Love.                      God acts according to God's        own Will founded in Love.                     such a turnaround could found a Selfish       elevation which would nullify ·that·       creation's claim to Love, the defining       characteristic of God.                     should such a turnaround occur, its reckoning       as a potential hazzard would already have been       recognized, but still, it will remain as a       controversy in any creation that would desire       to subjugate that perfect Will of God.                     in so doing,              ·that· creation stymies its own freedom.              in so doing,              ·that· creation distorts it's       view of Self to deny that       perfect Will of God.              in so doing,              ·that· creation captures itself in a snare.                            to aspire to God by denying that to which it aspires       it must deny it's own God breathed characteristics       and distort it's own view of it's own authority.                            meanwhile, God is still God and only Loves.                            but, ·that· unruly ruler has fallen headlong       in to a morass of irrational justifications.                            whereas, ideally it would have it's       independant will in submission to       the unity of God's perfect       Will in Love,                     it now has two ·competing· wills                     it has birthed an indecisive       competition with it·self which       it also translates into an       adversarial position against       God, its Creator.                     Self destruction is immenent                     freeze it there for a while...                                    > God acts according to God's own Will        > founded in that Love which human beings        > aspire to comprehend.                     we could call this True autonomy.               behaving independantly according to personal will,        coupled with designs only to carry those admirable,        harmless and benevolent actions borne out of Love.                     as God grants autonomy to its creations, we would       not consider it harmless and benevolent to allow       any creation to fixate on its own attributes       to the point of self destructive idolatry.              and so, should such a situation arise, during the       subsequent course of extracting such a creation       from it's self induced strugglings, if God appears       to 'smite' that creation with harsh criticisms,       we may still conclude that these criticisms are       borne out of an admirable Love.              even if that criticism involves removal       of autonomy and exacting demonstrations       of shortfall.              so, we should conclude that God's meting       out Justice is itself borne out of Love       and alone accomplishes the most Merciful ends.              it is not that God's work is purposefully 'booby-trapped'       but it is as if, in spinning out autonomous figures,       God stands at the door when those autonomous figures       seek an immediate return to the domain of God,              and now, God at the door represents a stumbling stone.              there is no way around God at the door,       because God is the door, and the desire       towards True autonomy is all pervasive.              there is this fine line tripwire which       is simply inherent in the situation.              in God as perfect Unity in Love the good              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you
