Of Pride, of prejudice, of love…revisited
You dissect every word, yet fail to understand.
You call yourself a friend, but turn your back and speak every evil thing about another.
You speak of the bible all too often like it has become food to you, but alas you are no different from the ones you criticize harshly.
or any different from those who might not know the bible.
You cite all the biblical verses you can impress on people but ironically, if they are meant to be a response, I say they are rather off tangent from the reflection points of this page’s two recent posts.
You speak of hypocrisy, but do not see your own.
You say a blessing to this author, but the words are devoid of sincerity.
Your words are empty. Your heart is empty.
You call yourself a friend; but you annihilate the author like you have not known her.
I may not fully know the pilgrim church you are so often despicable about.
It is a gift I cherish. It is a gift I honor in the same way I honor and respect those of others.
While it is good to be logical, perhaps philosophical about others’ faith and conviction, it is surprising you miss using the same to study your own.
While you came up with something lengthy, your annotations are rather incongruous to the basic questions this author’s two recent posts point to.
You charge the points as inappropriate and defensively say you were being attacked or your conviction that is.
Nothing in my annotations in either post was meant to attack. Why do you suggest that? You are frequently the attacker. Stop labeling people for your own sake.
If you were listening with your mind and heart, you would have approached this author’s reflections quite differently.
In a nutshell, my annotations were really meant to simply mirror where people are at. In fact, this author’s reflections simply flow from the heart.
You were reading from the mind. It is one thing to engage in an intellectual ascent; it is another to leave your God something to inspirit the heart too.
What good are your bible verses; if you use them to appeal and point to the evil of others, but cannot point to your own. How is that for a feel good?
You are very good at piquing on Catholic doctrines; mock and loathe those doctrines as if you know what they stand for; including the ones who embrace the same.
Perhaps, you should consider studying yours first.
Just walk the talk. I believe you will be more convincing that way.
Do not point to this author’s inappropriateness when you cannot even adhere to the basics and essentials.
What about kindness and respect?
You are still missing the point do you?
Do not project your loathe on the author. You might have forgotten the goodness of her heart. But she gave herself in friendship in sheer honesty.
A friendship that destroyed her. In ruins she is learning a very ugly truth.
The truth that she was alone in the friendship.
Believing she found a friend. No, a best friend on the other side of the fence.
It is my fault that I trust.
It is my fault that I was a friend. May not be the best. But a friend who remains despite the betrayal of another.
It is my fault that I believe. I believe in the goodness of the other I consider almost like a sister.
But like a Judas cloak in holiness showed no mercy to this author at a time she believed in her heart she found a John.
You talk biblical; but you are proud.
You talk God; but you exercise prejudice.
You talk love; but your writings are filled with loathe and hatred.
You talk holiness; but your face is one of contempt.
You use this author’s words like mockery and repugnance and twist the truth behind them.
You always see the evil in others; in fact you make that the focus of your convocation.
Something is amiss though.
“But by their fruits you will know them.”
If your faith and convictions are simply an act of the mind,
something is amiss.
If your faith and convictions simply bring the logical, philosophical and the critical,
something is amiss.
If your faith and convictions are simply a matter of what to wear, what to eat, what to say, and a whole lot of what to,
something is amiss.
Like I said, do not insult your God with so many trappings and specious arguments you are so well trained to do.
You speak of glory attached to hairs and almost covering the entire body.
But are no different from others who commit evil in the dark. or even worst.
Why are you so focused on the outside? It is superficial. In fact it can be packaged beautifully to appear spotless. “There are wolves dressed in sheep’s clothing” (from Weeds today. Wheat tomorrow)
Do not insult yourself anymore. Do not shame others by hiding behind their faults and forget your own rot or unmindful that your fate could have been worst or could be worst.
God works in each one.
If you fail to recognize that,
something really is amiss.
