Questions to Christians

[Fairy]

Well, the stairway to heaven involves the ladies we all know, if you know what a lady is.

The knowing awareness of what a lady is, results in behaving like a lady, if you're a woman. That is the nature of awareness. Otherwise become distasteful.

If you're a man, awareness of what a gentleman is, results in behaving like a gentleman for the same reasons.


What you will eventually learn with attachment to word games is that it's not the words, it's the meaning behind the words that counts, and abandonment of meaning in a misconstrued act of non-duality is never-the-less, still duality.

If you say so.

But all that dribble is just irrelevant to my life.

I make my own heaven. No one else need to be involved in my life to make what I can make myself.


And if God is a He, then the devil is a She.

And for your information..hell is empty right now, all the devil’s are here in the kingdom of heaven.

I’m personally too cool for hell, and too hot for heaven. So I’m kinda just a neutral kind of girl really.

lol lol lol

And you of all people know all about attachment to word games. Have you ever re read anything you’ve ever said?

I guess it takes one to know one.

I wonder if Har-Har will return to the forum. I'd like to get his side of the story (cuz I don't *Believe Women).

Well I’m pretty sure you of all people know very well there’s always two sides to every story, there’s my side and his side, and then there’s the truth.

That’s non dual perfection right there.

But I hardly think someone as intelligently dumb as you would ever grasp that truth.

Why don’t you PM him if you are genuinely interested in his side of the story? Isn’t that what genuine caring loving best inseparable friends do for each other? Be sure to report back the truth so we can all stop being suspicious and stop looking for ways to be against each other.

Maybe you have already PM’d him since broadcasting your desire to know the truth back in the days when it was being written. If so, I hope some clarity has been shed on your curiosity.

He's a proven gentleman already.

Well, I don't know about all that. Right now, though, I'm thinkin' he ain't the dog he's been described as.

No one fucking cares about what you think.

Walker thinks a gentleman is a dog.

“Harbal, you dog.”


See what I mean.

And then he has the audacity to assume I don’t know what Lady means.

Children by no fault of their own are needy and totally dependent of the selfless care of their respective parents.

I’m talking more about adult children and their unnecessary need to continue to be needy.

Everyone of every age and status needs other people. We need to talk about equality and justice.

"Needy" is a word that implies disapproval of the behaviour;
it seems that you may want to discuss the educational strategy of how to teach children to be self sufficient.

Yes we need other people. We need doctors and dentists and lawyers and shopkeepers and bin men etc…

Let’s not stray too far from the actual point.

The main reasons for men and women relationships, that are well past the usual conditioned desire to procreate, is a whole different dynamic. It’s a move towards selfish reasons, where there are consequences and emotions and feelings involved. I’m talking from experience. I was a great shag, but I wasn’t allowed to be opinionated,confrontational, argumentative, or moody. If I was ever just being my true self, I was told that was not something acceptable by my partner. I guess it would have been ideal had I just been the perfect woman without negative drama, even though it always takes two to make an unwanted negative atmosphere.

On my own, my life is stress free, when I’m alone with just myself, my life is compared to nirvana. But as soon as I’m in relationship with someone, that nirvana life changes, it changes to walking on eggshells, a stress that’s unavoidable when two unique people choose to be together as one, for reasons only known to them…and that’s the risk I am willing to take, and the risk others take taking me on me. Mutual physical and sexual attraction is maybe a trick evolution played on us to get us to continue the species. But the reality beyond initial attraction is a completely different ball game it’s not for the faint of heart that’s for sure, and is why there are so many hearts being broken every minute of the day. Life is messy and people are just in denial of that, preferring to be sold the dream of everlasting love between a prince and his princess living happily ever after, but never comes true because reality is always truer than expectations.

But is "the actual point" that you want to talk about anything that Christians in particular can answer? You have a point to be sure however there seems to be a failure of communication between yourself and someone else.
Most people would be bored by a partner who was unable or disinclined to be "argumentative,confrontational, moody, or opinionated" to some degree and in appropriate circumstances.
In any case, in a public forum don't name names not even pen names!

What does…. “thou shalt not have other gods” mean?

Note: Ummm...I think you meant "Christians," without the apostrophe, did you not? I'll straighten that out in my response. You might be able to fix that on page one, too...I don't know.

What the statement makes is fairly obvious, is it not? The ancient world was generally populated by polytheists, which means that they believed in multiple gods: Zeus, Baal, Asherah, Molech, Hermes, Set, Isis, Chemosh...gods of valleys and mountains, of water and love...all kinds of gods. Judaism appeared amid these, as a belief uniquely dedicated to the proposition that all these gods are false gods, and there is only one true God.

A more modern sense of the term "gods" has appeared recently. It understands "gods" not only as literal fictive objects of human reverence, but of a "god" referring to anything one makes the number 1 orientation point of their value system. In that more metaphorical sense, your money or your car could be your "god," or your house could be, or your relationship, or your own physical health and longevity, or travel, or security...or anything else that becomes the ultimate object of your reverence and attention.

So take the ancient sense, or take the modern one, and it's very clear what the passage means: don't have false gods, and don't make for yourself a god out of anything.

Well said! Let's try not to idolise anything including our own ideas!

I have to admit I’m totally illiterate when it comes to grammar.

I missed a lot of school because of tragic childhood situations. Honestly I was also a daydreamer because I already knew the truth at age 5 years.

I’ve struggled to live in this hell ever since.

Thanks for telling me what I already know.

But the point was… who the Jesus Christ is me?

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Apologies for missing out the before me bit. Who ever me is.

It seems odd that you asked the question...since you say you already knew the answer.

who the Jesus Christ is me?

Jesus Christ is not mentioned in that commandment. There would be no way anybody could interpret that as your question...even if it were in Standard English, and so possible to be sure we could understand.

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

The "before" is the Hebrew word "עַל," meaning, "upon, above, or over" The choice of translation depends on the context. So perhaps a better translations would be, "You shall have no other gods above/over Me." And to answer your question, the "Me" there is clearly the Speaker/Writer, who is God.

But now I suppose you'll tell me you knew all that, too...and again, I'm left to wonder why you keep asking questions to which you later say you already knew the answer...
