Ethics

God said “Be Holy” and He qualified it (defined it) by saying “as I am Holy” – “just for those who might have a deep heart felt need to know what ‘Holy’ is, God said, study Me. Get to know what I am like and you will know what Holy is”.

The First major proposition under the AUN (Absolute Universal Norm) is –

No one can be Holy.

Every one who has been born is living on borrowed time, from the time of our birth we are God’s enemies. God gave A&E one rule which they broke and the punishment for that is death (Death is essentially cutting off communication. God did create people to exist for ever). No one can by their own effort or the effort of others be Holy. People are condemned by their nature and by their own thoughts and attitudes and actions.

The Second major proposition under the AUN is –

1. Everyone who is born will die, because we belong to Adam’s family.
2. Every one who breaks God’s law will die. Without a punishment equal to the crime a law is not a law (even God Himself can not bypass our death). Disobeying God is a major crime.

The Third major proposition under the AUN is –


God Himself made a way for people individually to be reconciled to Him.

Carl said that there is no hint of help for us as people. That is not true.

The Fourth major proposition under the AUN is –

Even God can not do anything for us until we
Believe that He is there.
Agree that God is perfectly just in condemning everyone to death.
Agree that we as an individual deserve nothing but death and hell (eternal death).
Beg Him for Mercy.

Each of us individually.

The Fifth major proposition under the AUN is –

Jesus, who is God, was hung on a cross but He did not die in His own name. He died in the name of the penitent person, that is the law has been executed to the fullest extent for that person. You sin you die - But Jesus died as a substitute for the individual who does agree to the Fourth major proposition.

The Sixth major proposition under the AUN is –

To not accept death and the death of Jesus as one’s own is The Major crime that a person can commit. That alone will sentence any one to eternal incarceration.

The Seventh major proposition under the AUN is –

Having died Jesus came back to life.

The Eight major proposition under the AUN is –

He does take the person who agrees to the fourth major proposition back to life with Him. This is the ‘New Birth’. By this the individual is adopted into the family of God. God guarantees Holiness because He died for each and every sin that the penitent person ever committed or ever will commit.

The truly phenomenal thing about being a child of God is that one is not obliged to keep the law. In Jesus Christ we are dead. Try telling a dead man ‘you shall not murder or steal or lust’ and make it stick !

You say I say

-“Earlier this week, a woman in Umlazi township, near Durban, South Africa, was stripped naked and her shack burnt down.
Men in the township are demanding that all women wear skirts or dresses.
South Africa's Gender and Equality Commission told the BBC that this was the first time something like this had happened in the country.
Correspondents say men in conservative rural communities in southern Africa sometimes harass women for wearing trousers and short skirts.
"It is extreme …””
Isn’t it funny. The men thought that women wearing trousers or short skirts is extreme. And I am sure that it is not just about what the women wear.
-“The incident happened in an area of Umlazi called T section which is a hostelry for men.
"Only men are supposed to stay there - emanating from the apartheid era when people were segregated in terms of areas.
"It's a place where men live from the rural areas so that they can be nearer their work environment."
According to South Africa's Mercury paper, after this a community meeting decided to ban women in the area wearing trousers.”
There was an article just the other day about men’s garages in Russia. The men in the community, it seems, build garages at quite some distance from their apartments and use them as their get away. The women said it was almost like a secret society. The ‘mystified’ women couldn’t seem to understand. People do segregate all the time – kids are quite thoroughly segregated from each other at school – everyone in the city builds a tall fence around “their” yard – and so on and on ……..
- “Social anthropologist Prof Anand Singh told the paper the incident was a conflict of values.
"If one looks at South African societies, they are all patriarchal and it is difficult for people who assume authoritative roles in homes to adjust to women assuming their own roles and status within society," he said.”
What is a woman’s role and status ? They ARE equal to and able to do any job that a man can do, does that therefore mean that they should they wear the same clothing ? ? Wonder of wonders men and women ARE different.

-“Earlier this week, a woman in Umlazi township, near Durban, South Africa, was stripped naked and her shack burnt down.”

Pop goes the media. The men did not mean to strip her naked … they assumed that she was sane and rational and therefore wore underpants. It is soooo easy to direct what people think by ‘creative’ ways of saying things. See what I mean. Now people want to take exception with me. Do only insane and irrational people not wear underpants ?

-“Men in the township are demanding that all women wear skirts or dresses.
Describing the incident on Sunday, he said the men tore off a woman's trousers.
"Unfortunately she did not wear any underpants; and they also burnt the woman's shack where she was living, just because she was wearing trousers," he said.””

We doubts that it was “just because”. There is a whole lot more to the incident than the media wants to say and I am suggesting that is because they have their agenda of proving their biased point of view …

The Secular Church

One among many …
“About half of Norway's first-born children are born to single mothers, and polls show that most Norwegians do not care that Miss Hoiby is a single mother or that the couple chose to live together in an Oslo flat before marrying.
This is despite the fact that when Crown Prince Haakon succeeds King Harald, he will become head of the state Lutheran church, which opposes cohabitation outside matrimony.”
I often wonder how it is that so many people assume that the rules of a church are so flexible. The prevailing attitude among secular people is, “since we do not like the rules the way they are, we will disregard them and if we do it long enough they will change.” Actually I saw that happen at Bible College, and more and more people are taking that same attitude into church with them. Custom and mores are always right even if they were made up on the spot. Tradition is always to be questioned.
Church should be different. By attending church, every church that I know of, one is saying that one believes in absolutes. I know that is news to a lot of church folk but there it is. God is Holy. He said “be holy, as I am !” That is The Absolute Universal Norm and all the laws and rules and ethics and customs and mores of church flow from there.
How could Prince Haakon become the head of a church? How could Prince Charles? Wasn’t it the Kaiser who said “I know Germans and I know Americans but I do not know German-American”. Something like that. For real there is no such thing as a secular church. That is no oxymoron. It is just plain moron.

Two Years

Spain's High Court has ordered the seizure of all copies of a magazine that carried a cartoon of Crown Prince Felipe and his wife having sex.
The cartoon on the front page of the weekly satirical magazine El Jueves depicted Prince Felipe saying sex was the closest he would come to working.
It was published after the government announced it would pay couples nearly $3,500 for each new baby born.
The high court judge ruled that the cartoon insulted the royal family.
Judge Juan del Olmo ruled that the cartoon "struck at the honour and dignity of the people represented".
He also ordered the magazine to identify the author of the cartoon.
Slandering or defaming the Spanish royal family carries a two-year prison sentence.
Now Spain has really put their foot in it ! !
IF the royal family of spain is really worth a two year prison sentence then how is it that people can’t see that ridiculing God is serious. In the west any one can ridicule christianity with total impunity . . . ? ? ?

No Help

Carl was Much smarter than I ever imagined !
When he was looking at a picture of earth from Voyager, just a tiny blue dot, he said “there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves”. He knew that we needed to be saved from ourselves ! Very impressive ! ActuallyI thought that he did not believe in absolutes but here he is declaring rather absolutely that there is no hint of help . . .

I bet that he at least heard of the Bible.

I told you so

Now I get to say "I told you so !"

"This is the second document issued by the Pope in recent days which re-evaluates the work of the Second Vatican Council, the reforming council held in Rome during the 1960s. Pope Benedict is, in effect, attacking what he regards as later erroneous interpretations of what the council actually decided.

That document set off a storm of criticism from Protestant and Anglican leaders who felt that the Vatican was failing to take into account progress made towards re-establishing Christian unity in talks with Rome over a period of many years.

It states that Christ established only one Church here on earth. Other Christian denominations, it argues, cannot be called Churches in the proper sense because they cannot trace their bishops back to Christ's original apostles."

All these Protestant and Anglican "leaders" have obviously been deluding themselves for all these years. There has been No "progress" toward "re-establishing Christian unity" ! ! !

Vatican two did NOT change anything in the Catholic Institution. Not One Thing.
