  • The scripture is a perfect mirror of the human heart.

    One with a heart in alignment with God will use the scripture for goodness. One with a heart out of alignment with God will use the scripture for evil.

    It was written by mortals, who are intrinsically flawed. The message it strives to convey is absolute and incorruptible.

    Errors in scripture are inevitable, the Bible is a literary device, but the essence of the teaching is incorruptible.

    All humans strive for perfection, but the concept of perfection is illusory. Anything truly perfect is inconceivable to the limited human mind.

    The history of those that have used the scripture for evil is long. The history of those who have used the scripture for good is equally long.

    Christ commanded us to love one another, do we not fulfill the commandment when we are in love?


  • Hatred begets hatred.

    I spoke to inform both the believer and the non-believer.

    There are Christians in this world who have taken Christ’s words to heart and strive to live in His image daily. This way of living inevitably leads to compassion.

    There is the Church of Peter, and the Church of John.

    The Church of Peter is the Earthly institution that instructs the faithful and leads to a life filled with Love.

    The Church of John is the Church of the Beloved disciple who put his head on Christ’s chest and listened to the heartbeat of the One who Created Love.

    These two Churches are present in all people, at all times, throughout history. They shall never fail, as long as there is suffering in the world. This is why the faithful call them eternal.

    When these two Churches are in harmony in the soul of the individual, and in the soul of the World, there is harmony. When they are in disharmony in the soul of the individual and the soul of the world, there is chaos.

    Christ has Illuminated the soul of this individual, and there is only harmony.

    This harmony is available to all, whether Jew or Greek, male or female, believer or non-believer.

    Forgive me for being unclear in my communication, and I pray your soul knows this peace.


  • I think I responded to the wrong poster. I meant to say that to the person saying (falsely) that the Bible condemns queerness.

    Have they never heard of David and Johnathan? Does Jesus taking twelve men and washing their feet mean nothing? Was John not the Beloved disciple?

    I am a queer Catholic, and it deeply angers me when people believe that the two are mutually exclusive. The current wave of LGBT hatred (in the USA, at least) started with the Evangelical church in the 1940’s. It is not some ancient and infallible dogma.

    Forgive me for causing you anger, I spoke only to gently admonish and correct the sinner.

    Personally, I don’t know ANYONE who experienced the “peak of life satisfaction” at 23.

    Most people that age are still confused about what they want to do with their lives and sweating off some leftover hormones from the teen years. It’s more chaotic than satisfying, I think.

    Edit: also, having a child at 26 sounds like hell.
