For what it's worth
  
I've never done blogs and don't know what all I should post here. I have been visiting other people's pages to see what- and how things get done. Some things I've been finding are worth reposting so I may end up doing some of that, with proper credit given to the owner of the postings I link to and/or copy. I don't know if that is actually proper, but here we go!

Which is better- reality- or ... .... ..... ....... Aug 17, 2008 6:29 am

aslan17 made a post a while back titled as "What is Worse, Lying or Being Abusive?"
Kind of strikes me that when one weighs that question in TRUTH- we get a clear view of what aslan17 has for a mindset. Since posting it, he's been showing us that false faith and false "holiness" is a sight to see indeed.

So what if we turn the tables and ask a different question about the reality of the hypocrisy aslan17 is so fully engaged in and so massively proud of? What if we examine how well and truly the temptation to "play holy" can astoundingly unmask the black hearts we do indeed discover in such "holiness" killers as pride, grace misused, false faith in our own judgment and understanding and even the false sense of SECURITY that sinners have while mocking God with their own ideas of what right and wrong actually are.

Is HONESTY even important anymore?

If it IS- then why would folks KNOW EVERYONE IS A SINNER BY CHOICE- and yet ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO REMAIN IN SIN- and even try to pretend they are in CONTROL of their ability to do better somehow? Why would folks try SOOOOOOoooooooo hard to claim that THEY ARE DOING BETTER when they aren't? Why would folks DENY the fact that they LIKE SIN- so they CHOOSE IT PURPOSELY when they think it's ok and then try to REPENT and make themselves so very much stronger AGAINST what they know is gunna happen again no matter WHAT they do to resist.

Jesus said HONESTY IS UTMOST if you want to get past the sin you will not deny and quit doing. He said you MUST BE HONEST if you ever wish to become sin free and remain that way. Jesus taught us that TRUTH is extremely important in the life of a follower of HIS. He said a PURE HEART will get you back to God for REAL instead of your false notion of "being there" in God's presence while NOT BEING PURE IN HEART.
Truth is- you are not there and will never BE- unless your heart is PERFECTLY PURE. There are no short cuts and no exceptions. Reality- from Jesus own mouth. TRUTH. Straight from The Son of God.

Doesn't take FAITH to know what Jesus said and understand it. Doesn't take working and struggling and all of that stuff trying so hard to "do better" and change into something God would approve of and still fall short of your stated goal of "whatever" inside a religion that literally FORCES YOU TO BELIEVE YOU ARE GOING TO FAIL ANYWAY NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO.

So which is BETTER. Pretending YOU CAN DO BETTER and still harbor sin and it's consequences while claiming to REEEEEAAAAALLLLYYYY WAAAAAANT to be what your RELIGION DANGLES IN FRONT OF YOU- or the pure honesty of never pretending you are something you are not and LIKELY NEVER WILL BE?
Reality? or remain a hypocrite. Might wish to understand- If you are telling God that you REALLY WANT HIM- but never DO stop sinning- He knows yer lying through your teeth to begin with.
Is that a PURE HEART?
Reality says lying to God is a rather big "no no". Reality says you are going to pay big time for your lies.
TRUTH says you can quit if you really wanted to- by following ONLY JESUS and no one else. TRUTH. Or all of your other stuff. Ya already made your choice- but you can always change yer mind. At least while God lets ya.

Which is better? God's way- or yours? decide. Both TRUTH and REALTY say God's way is best- not just "better". Not a hard choice at all- if yer not a hypocrite. Think about it.
