Again, sorry my being openly Christian bothers you.

You will remain in my prayers, dear Dimitri, whom I love, in Christ's
name.

May you accept Him as your personal Lord and Savior, someday, so that
you too will have eternal life and the limitlessly interesting riches of
His everlasting kingdom.

Here's how:

Please note that God truly made this special link describing that He is
the great "I am" and that His message is as simple as the number 2 which
is a number between 1 to 9 and reminds us of His 2 commandments, the 2
arms of the cross, the 2nd part of the Trinity, the 2 finger sign of the
Prince of Peace [who remains *V*ictorious over death and satan], and the
2PD Approach. Let it not ever be written that Christ did not make His
presence known here on Usenet :-)

Also, note that Exodus 16:16 continues to remind us that 16 oz plus 16
oz makes 2 pounds, which is "a certain measure of weight," which is what
"omer" literally means in Hebrew.

I think you need to look inside your self. I hope you have heard of the 7
deadly sins.

Here's one you should examine carefully:

Pride is excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the
individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin
from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity.

Pride

The Reservoir of All Sin

"The Devil, the proud spirit, cannot endure to be mocked." - St. Thomas
More, 16th Century
"God is stern in dealing with the arrogant, but to the humble He shows
kindness." - Proverbs 3:34
"Hatred of God comes from pride. It is contrary to the love of God ..." -
The Catechism of the Catholic Church, #2094
Overweening pride, arrogance, haughtiness: these have been the stuff of
tragedy. Vanity, fussiness, delicacy: the stuff of comedy. These are all
forms of self-delusion, and paper-thin masks over rotting features. Pride
and vanity refuse the truth about who we are and substitute illusions for
reality. While vanity is mostly concerned with appearance, pride is based in
a real desire to be God, at least in one's own circle.
The first requirement of pride is spiritual blindness. Any glimpse of God
reveals our frailty and sinfulness, just as a well-lit bathroom mirror shows
the flaws in our complexion. Like Oedipus, we are driven to gouge out our
eyes at the sight of our wretchedness and wander away from our heavenly
home, with no purpose or direction. Unlike Oedipus, we build up myriad
illusions about who we are and what we are about. We can busy ourselves with
career, family and even church work, thinking we are being driven by a
strong work ethic, moral values or the fire of the Holy Spirit. In reality,
we may be running away from God by running away from ourselves. Nearly
everyone else can see that we are putting on a show, but not us. Our
coworkers may hate us (they are just jealous), our children may
self-destruct or leave us (they are ungrateful), and we may never truly pray
but merely stand in the presence of a god we have created, but we still
refuse to see.
A second requirement of pride, indeed a symptom, is that each challenge to
our pride drives us harder to improve our illusion of productivity, sanctity
or compassion. It has been said that the definition of a zealot is "one who
has lost sight of his goal, and so redoubles his efforts." We might say the
zealot works twice as hard to keep up appearances.
When we hear sermons about pride, or read this text, we may be tempted to
think of all the people we know who really need to read it. We need to read
it. Pride is about us, and we would love to retain our illusions by pointing
to others, saying: "But they are very proud. I really don't think I'm that
great, but they do."
The best pride detector is this: how much are we bothered by the pride of
others? And if we feel attacked, is our response: "other people are worse."
A strong indicator of pride is competitiveness. There is nothing wrong with
playing to win, provided the joy is in the playing. If our happiness depends
on defeating others or knowing our child is the star of the team, we are
building a world of illusion.
At death, all illusions are stripped away. God's judgment will not take into
account our bank balance, how much we own, how smart our children are or how
much self-esteem we have. All that will matter is whether He recognizes us
(Matthew 25:12).
There are three ways to destroy Pride, and they must all be taken together:
1) Be grateful to anyone and everyone. Treat even the things people are
expected to do as great gifts. Be grateful for your food, your change at
Burger King, rain, life itself. Thank everyone.
2) Beg forgiveness of God for the sin of Pride. Go before Him in prayer
every day or every few hours and implore His mercy. The more this offends
you, the more Pride you have.
3) Ask God for a spirit of Humility and Gratitude. Read Philippians 2:3-11
and imitate it. Understand that without God's Grace, we will never cast away
our illusions. Ask God to break your pride and vanity using whatever it
takes: illness, loss of friends, loss of family, public humiliation. This is
unbelievably difficult to request, and every fiber of our being fights it.
We protest it is not fair, or "God doesn't work that way." My friend, what
good is health, friends, family, a good reputation, if you have no real love
for God, but only a hollow illusion? In the end, all but true love for God
is lost, so count all else but God as loss now.
For continued reading, the following are a few good books:
"Mere Christianity," by C.S. Lewis
"New Seeds of Contemplation," by Thomas Merton
"The Cost of Discipleship," by Dietrich Bonhoeffer

It seems that you are obsessed with that which compells you to
automatically judge what you observe.

It remains my choice to refrain from judging others based on what I
observe.

Lord Christ can teach you how if you choose to walk with Him:

Step 2 - Forgive
Another aspect of drawing closer to God involves forgiveness. Failure to
forgive our enemies will result in our not being forgiven; "Forgive us our
trespasses (sins) as we forgive those who trespass (sin) against us". In the
Lords Prayer, we are asking God to be as forgiving to us as we are to
others. If we do not forgive our brothers, how can we expect God to forgive
us? "If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will
forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not
forgive your sins." (Matthew 6:14,15). And again in Mark 11:25, "But when
you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so
that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too". And once more in
Luke 6:37, "Stop judging others, and you will not be judged. Stop
criticizing others, or it will all come back on you. If you forgive others,
you will be forgiven".

Remember, without Christ, there can be no forgiveness:

Dear Dimitri,

We all have a reservoir of sin of varying degree, but that degree is
insignificant against the greater glory of the Father. If it weren't we
would be very, very close to His glory. Who would this be who is so
near to God amongst any of us? Is it for us to know ?

The love is as unconditional as His forgiveness is, but it is up to
each of us to have a good conscience toward God. We stumble, it's our
nature to be that way. We can be all the things which belong to human
nature, including proud.

It's why Jesus is who He is and we are who we are. With forgiveness we
can find the strength in Him to keep in good conscience toward God.

Better to stumble forwards in His strength than to stumble backwards
by the pull of evil.

In Christ's love
Carol T

Dear Tech27

If you give testament to one mind in Christ then you give witness to
His presence near yourself. The hand that drives in the nails can be
the nearest of all and yet so far away in their sin.

"Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded
toward one another, according to Christ Jesus, that you may with one
mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ." NKJ Rome 15:5-6

In Christ's love

Dear Tech27,

Satan can throw tantrums you know, he can expose the spirit in the
heart of an unforgiven man. Anger is a destructive force on your heart,
there is no question about this, ask a cardiologist.
