oH GOOD GRIEF. rOHR POPPED UP AGAIN, OF COURSE, AND i STARTED LISTENING. a TALK CALLED tHE sECOND hALF OF lIFE. aND OF COURSE i KNOW THAT ANYTHING HE SAYS ABOUT DEATH IS GOING TO BE A HORRENDOUS DECEPTION BECAUSE HE THINKS EVERYBODY HAS THE hOLY sPIRIT AND IS SAVED DESPITE BELIEVING NOTHING HE NEEDS TO BELIEVE TO BE SAVED. sO i CRINGE AT THE VERY TOPIC HE IS ADDRESSING.
THEN HE SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT AW, HOW SUPPOSEDLY jESUS AHND tAUL BOTH DESPISED IT. dIDN'T HAVE MUCH GOOD TO SAY ABOUT IT. aS IF THERE'S SOMETHING INHERENTLY WRONG WITH THE LAW, RATHER THAN, OF COURSE WHAT pAUL SAID, THAT THE lAW IS hOLY, AND WHAT jESUS SAID, THAT hE DIDN'T COME TO ABOLISH THE lAW BUT TO FULFILL IT. bUT rOHR MANAGES TO IMPLY THAT THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH lAW THAT MUST BE TRANSCENDED. wELL, NO, IT'S JUST THAT pAUL AND jESUS BOTH KNOW THAT WE COULD NEVER OBEY THE lAW BECAUSE WE ARE BORN FALLEN, UNABLE TO OBEY, AND IN FACT BORN IN SIN ALREADY ANYWAY SO ALREADY UNDER THE lAW'S CONDEMNATION. tHAT IS WHAT JESUS HASD TO SAVE US FROM, AND THAT IS WHAT pAUL IS ALWAYS TEACHING ABOUT.
hE WANTS TO RIB tEXAS FOR HAVING THE tEN cOMMANDMENTS IN FRONT OF THEIR COURT BUILDINGS. oH GROAN. hAVE YOU EVER SEEN A COURTHOUSE WITH THE EIGHT BEATIUDES IN FRONT OF THEM, HE ASKS? oH GROAN. tHIS GUY COULD GIVE ME AN ULCER WITH HIS UTTER CRAZINESS AND STUPIDITY.
tHEN HE SAYS THE BEATITUDES ARE MANY LEVELS ABOVE THE lAW IN MATURITY. oH GROAN. yOU CAN FIND THE BEATITUTDES IN THE oLD TESTAMENT AS WELL AS THE nEW, THEY JUST GOT CONDENSED IN THE nEW. mAYBE i'M EXAGGERATING A BIT, BUT THE lAW STILL JUDGES US, IT'S WHY WE ARE ALL GOING TO hELL. tHE lAW DIDN'T STOP JUDGING US WHEN jESUS CAME. tHE lAW WAS REVEALED IN THEoLD tESTAMENT AS THE LAW THAT RUNS THE UNIVERSE ESSENTIALLY. iT STILL RUNS THE UNIVERSE. jESUS HAD TO die TO SAVE US FROM ITS CONDEMNATION, IT NEVER STOPPED OPERATING. hE CAME TO FULFILL IT BECAUSE WE HAVE NO HOPE AGAINST IT. iT JUDGES US INEXORABL;U
tHE BEATUTIDUES COULD PERHAPS BE UNDERSTOOD AS THE POSITIVE COMMANDMENTS WHILE THE lAW OR THE tEN cOMMANDMENTS TELL US WHAT WE ARE JUDGED FOR, THE BEATITUDES GIVE US A ROLE MODEL FOR BLESSING RATHER THAN JUDGMENT. i KNOW i'
BEING A BIT SIMPLISTIC HERE BUT WHAT rOHR IS SAYING IS JUST DEMENTED.
aaGAIN, jESUS died TO SAVE US FROM THE lAW. THE lAW NEVER STOPPED OPERATING, IT IS STILL OPERATING. iF YOU DO THOSE THINGS YOU WILL BE PUNISHED. yOU WILL DIE WITH THEM ON YOUR CONSCIENCE IF YOU DO NOT REPENT AND BELIEVE IN cHRIST. oF COURSE THEY BELONG IN FRONT OF A COURTHOUSE. iF YOU DON'T STEAL, LIE, COVET, MURDER OR COMMITADULTERY YOU WILL NOT END UP A CRIMINAL.
lATER: ok NOW HE JUST SAID NONDUAL THINKING IS BEING ABLE TO TWO TWO OPPOSING IDEAS IN MIND AT THE SAME TIME, OR TO BE ABLE TO TOLERTE A CONTRADICTION. wHAT ABOUT THAT IS ANYTHING BUT ORDINARY GOOD INTELLIGENT THINKING? hOW IS IT ANY KIND OF SPECIAL FORM OF THINKING? sO AL HE MEANS IS HE WANTS EVERYBODY TO BE LESS DOGMATIC ABOUT OUR OPINIONS AND TRY TO GET ALONG BETTER WITH PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT VIEWS. gEE, WHAT A CONCEPT. hE'S NOT ADDRESING SOME CONCEPTS SO FAR THAT ARE SIMPLY IRRECONCILABLE THOUGH. tHERE ARE CERTAINLY THOSE. yOU CAN'T BE BOTH FOR AND AGAINST GAY MARRIAGE. iT'S EITHER A GOO THING OR A BACK THING. yOU EITHER HAVE IT OR YOU DON'T. aND AGAIN HE'S CLEARLY A LIBERAL, THINKS cHE gUEVARA AND nELSON mANDELA WERE IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTORS TO THE WORLD. yIKES.
sO WHAT HE IS SAYING IS TRIVIAL AND OBVIOUS IN THE END. bUT THEN HE SAYS HOW IT IS NECESSARY TO START DUALISTICALLY AND HAVE THAT CLARITY AND THEN TRY TO FIND THE NEUTRAL POSITION OR WHATEVER IT IS TO BE CALLED. bUT THEN HE GOES ON THE CHARACTERIZE WHAT tRUMP SAID AT cHARLOTTESVILLE AS AN EXAMPKLE OF THE WRONG KIND OF NONDUALISM, OBVIOUSLY NEVER GRASPING THAT HE ID nd\ot SAY THAT THE NEO nAZIES WERE GOOD PEOPLE. gOOD grief i'M SO SICK OF THAT ONE WHEN ALL IT WAS WAS A MEDIA SUBTERFUGE IN WITHHOLDING THE WHOLE SPEECH SO NOBODY KNEW HE ACTUALLY CONDEMEND THE NEONAZIS. good grief.
nOW i'M AFRAID i'M RANDING IN A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE KIND OF DUALISTICN G THINKG HE HATES BUT i'M NOT SURE i CARE.
