In light of my overall goals, I am constrained to defend my acts of commenting on the video condemning Joel Osteen
First let me state that no matter what may happen I ALWAYS want to make certain I will NEVER be qualified to be some sort of "prophet of God". I see my inability to keep from cursing when I get angry as the closest things to a guarantee I have that if there truly is a God He will NEVER EVEN CONSIDER using me as his "Holy Prophet". I am unqualified and intend to remain so for the rest of my life. So, as you periodically see me curse and (((SPIT))) know the reasoning behind my actions.
ON THE INTERNET I APPRECIATE BEING STRAIGHT FORWARD AND HONEST IN HOW I FEEL
PROVERBIAL "WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING" ARE JUST THE OPPOSITE
THEY ACT ALL SWEET AND NICE IN ORDER TO LURE AND TRICK THE GULLIBLY IGNORANT
And that is what a number of Christian preachers are apparently saying about this Joel Osteen guy. They are risking being judged even as they judge him and yet they continue to pass judgment against Mr Osteen because he doesn't preach exactly as they do!! To me this is crazy insane!
From what I have seen, Mr Osteen refuses to negatively judge ANYONE. He doesn't seem to feel it is his place to do so and I see this as wisdom on his part.
As for myself, I'm always looking to improve my CURRENT belief system and that means testing my belief system in the hopes that someone can point out flaws that need correcting. So I share my opinions and tend to get conflict from blind faith skeptics, on the one hand, and blind faith Bible believers on the other. It takes real clarity, on my part, and ruthless determination to be detached from all I currently believe and to always be ready to alter my current beliefs in favor of better and more correct ones.
So, I do not feel I am wasting my time sharing my views by commenting on YouTube videos and in forums such as this one. I put my CURRENT beliefs to the test always ready to casually toss out any current belief that no longer serves me and my needs.
HOWEVER
I NEVER intend to toss out my cursing when I get angry as I see that as my greatest guarantee that I will not be used by God as some sort of "holy prophet". So as people comment calling me "childish" for my cursing I don't care at all!!
((( AMEN )))
