The Spirit of Christian Love

1 The elder, to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not I only, but also all those who know the truth; 2 for the truth's sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us forever: 3 Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

4 I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father. 5 And now I ask you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. 6 This is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.

7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist. 8 Watch yourselves, that you do not lose the things which we have accomplished, but that you receive a full reward. 9 Whoever goes on and does not remain in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. He who remains in the teaching, the same has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you, and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not welcome him, 11 for he who welcomes him participates in his evil works.

12 Having many things to write to you, I do not want to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made full.

13 The children of your chosen sister greet you. — 2 John 1 | New Heart English Bible (NHEB) The New Heart English Bible is in the public domain.

Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.

Although His Word tells us that we will "not inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Corinthians 6:9-11; Galatians 5:19-21; Revelation 21:8) if we embrace sin, Scripture does not call for you to "be put to death" (Exodus 22:19; Leviticus 20:10; Leviticus 20:13; Leviticus 20:27; etc.) for embracing certain sins. Someone’s sin might be greater than yours, but they’re both unholy before a most holy God. You may think you’re doing great if you don’t sin as much as someone else, but you’re still sinning against God. I like how J.C. Ryle put it: “Let us never measure our religion by that of others, and think we are doing enough if we have gone beyond our neighbors. This is another snare of the devil... Let us follow on, making Christ's life and character our only pattern and example.” Christ, who led a perfect and sinless life, is our example to be followed in life. Even though we’ll obviously not live a perfect and sinless life (1 John 1:8), we must aim to imitate Him, and get back up when we fail to do so (Proverbs 24:16). One’s “little sin” might not have earthly consequences as a “big sin” but you’ll answer to God for all your “small” and “big” sins you have committed on this earth, all the same. The moment you start to think some sins are not as bad as others, you open yourself to think that some sins are unimportant.

We’re mimetic creatures. We learn by imitating what excellent others have done before us...

The worst advice you can give to people trying to find themselves is to look within. That presumes a person is like an onion, with layers of social selves to peel off to get closer and closer to the inner core, the true self. The idea is that if you sit in a room with yourself and focus on yourself, you will get in touch with the “real you” or self-actualize the “real you.”

People who try this sometimes find there is no “real you,” or they just make up a bunch of stories and poses about who they think themselves to be.

That’s because a person is not a closed system that can be studied in isolation. A self exists only in relation to something else, while perceiving something and interacting with the world.

It’s more useful to conceive of a person as an artist. On the journey toward becoming themselves, artists often begin by copying some predecessor whose work they admire. Early on, the Beatles copied Buddy Holly and other artists. Countless writers started out by trying to copy George Orwell or Toni Morrison.

We’re mimetic creatures. We learn by imitating what excellent others have done before us...

Everybody is like that in a way. Everybody is grabbing from the world bits and pieces of thought and fashion that they can mishmash into their own personal way of being. The more sources you borrow from, the more interesting your self is likely to be...

“A man with few friends is only half-developed,” Randolph Bourne observed. “There are whole sides of his nature which are locked up and have never been expressed. He cannot unlock them himself, he cannot even discover them; friends alone can stimulate him and open them.”

Gradually, out of these interactions a self emerges. This is the hardest phase. You can pile up myriad influences. You can pile up performances. But eventually it all has to cohere into a distinct way of perceiving the world, a distinct way of expressing yourself in the world.

This simplifying process can make a person’s voice more powerful and focused. Zora Neale Hurston went back to her hometown Eatonville, Fla., as a setting from which she could express what she wanted to say about life. For his second Inaugural Address, Lincoln went back to the Bible to get the cadences and truths he needed to express his point of view.

Everybody who is writing a book or making a presentation or being a person in the world has to eventually wrestle with that cohering question: What’s the core here? Or as Miles Davis put it, “Sometimes you have to play a long time to be able to play like yourself.”

I like cats,But... (poetry)

looking at tumblr.

I often come across images and videos of cats.

A rough calculation shows that

About 65% of the animals that come out

It was about cats.

I like cats too.

But I think it's abnormal that there are so many cat lovers.

So why are there so many pictures of cats?

For women, for example, human babies

I guess it means that a cat can be imitated.

But many men also take cats.

"Cat's carefreeness, laziness

They overwhelm themselves and baselessly

They affirm themselves. ” Both men and women.

――If so, cat images and videos are harmful.

The situation of our youth is not mysterious. Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them. They must, they have no other models. That is exactly what our children are doing. They are imitating our immorality, our disrespect for the pain of others.

Edification through Reaction and Response

There have been a number of reactions, comments, and statements made from this post. I thought I’d post these for some reading and contemplation. I trust my replies will provide a suitable dispensational interpretation and correction on the doctrinal confusions or inconsistencies that come from mixing or blended dispensational content together.

An excerpt from a comic I made a couple years ago about fishing in video games. Full comic is on my ko-fi for free (or a couple bucks if you’d like). Happy fishing!
