Reverse engineer psychology = the ends justifies the means. But, How you define the problem dictates how you define the solution. Thus, cultural elitists tend to come from city folk who consider themselves a part of the crowd, and sympathize with the problem. As sociologists they see culture as a cause and effect of spiritual satisfaction. The problem with cities, is that culture is lost. The reason for culteral practices are givens, without definition. They are taken for granted. Thus, in a mix and match culture, people tend to do what is easy for them. They cross out the cultural practices that take work, and then don’t compensate for the void.
Sanity is a question of your perception of reality. Cultural elitists don’t have a healthy perspective.
Einstein’s, “knowing what you don’t know,” philosophy, means understanding the possibilities of the facts, and not trying to make the facts fit a model. Especially when science cannot perceive facts past the mediocre technology & limited perspective that we have. To have a preconception is to blind yourself to the possibilities.
I see it all the time, The paranoid people reverse engineer government by the motto, “the end justifies the means.” Thus paranoid individuals want to make laws where the ends justifies the means. Yet, I prefer that nieveness and good intentions have gotten us this far.
Is it true though? By justifying the means, we teach character. But that is exactly what God is worried about,… our hearts. Perfect our core, and everything that stems from the core will also be pure of heart. The rest depends on how you sharpen your tool. Iron Sharpens Iron. Yet when you start with agendas or preconceptions, Iron dulls Iron. A wise man becomes a fool when he argues with a fool. So look for ideas that contradict your philosophy. Understand them. Don’t fear them.
The heart is more important then the mind. A sensitive heart knows Gods will ever so deeply. But for deep ideas to surface, you have to debate it out. Start from many perspectives trying to reach the same conclusion.
Here is where the proof lies… When a church divides, it is over significantly altering definitions. Now the answer isn’t church A or Church B. But C, all of the above,… but with a deeper then the perspective we have. Somewhere in metaphysics, spiritual pschology, and beyond.
Truth is relavant (not a matter of perspective). For many things are taken for granteed. Yet, when we define a missing variable, the variable becomes the rule. Thus we miss the core factors Christ has set out. And we need truth to contradict what we assume as full truth. Is your philosophy a variable, or factor, and not the full truth?
God wants out culture to be loving to one another. Not a beaurocrocy to do it for us. Do you expect the worse in people? Well beurocracies do. You jump through hoops to prove your not a liar, because your guilty till proven innocent. Kindness is a weekness that makes you taken advantage of. Yet if you yourself practice kindness, then you will find a respect.
1 Corinthians 13: 4-7 (New International Version)Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
The thing is, in Bible times, love was an action verb. Like acts of love. Matthew 5:43-48 (New International Version)"You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Matthew 23:1-4 (New International Version)Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy loads and put them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
It takes a loving individual, who has been there before, to life up an ex-felon. But since that cannot be taught in universities (and cannot be taught without God’s renewal of the soul) it is largely ignored, and circumvented with clumsy, and lofty reasoning.
is unchanging,… only we have changed. For God first showed mankind the “law” to show us we cannot do it by our own will. Then Muslims are an example of the biasness (perversion of God’s intentions) by extreme law. But first Jesus convicted us, and then he showed TRUE HOPE. Christ introduced out Mighty Counselor, the Holy Spirit.
To meet this person,… all you have to do is read the Living Word, witch is the first form of God’s presence. And then God exists in the praises of his people. To just incite these will add perspective. But to contradict a lifetime of bad learned behavior, you must take devotions. Prophets and teachers merely add to the areas you may neglect. And a walk with Christ is never ending. To just take a vow isn’t it. To walk with Christ is devotion. To be set apart from those who do what is cheap and easy. Yet to learn what our spirits need to break free and have Heaven on earth. Just look for guidance from a counselor. A Mighty Counselor.
