There can be no discipline of integrity and honor without justice.

Therefore, seek not revenge, but justice in atonement.

🕊

Connections with the Holy Spirit are unrelated to unholy practices.

Consequently, abusive acts are incompatible with the enlightenment derived from positive inspiration.

For instance, when one slaps another in the face, the recipient predominantly experiences pain, rather than inspiration or the inclination to speak, aside from perhaps using expletives.

Torture is ineffective for all individuals. Inflicting torture to obtain information that has not yet been acquired constitutes a crime against humanity, an excessive exertion of force, and a form of cruel and unusual treatment, driven by extreme ignorance and foolishness.

Furthermore, have you ever participated in a sport while injured? Merely enduring pain to achieve a score does not imply that the injury contributed to the success.

In truth, an injury impedes performance and acts as an obstacle rather than an aid. Often, injuries become so severe that participation in the sport becomes impossible.

Inflicting pain and suffering through injuries is entirely unhelpful and constitutes a crime against humanity.

 

The Art of War was written over 2,500 years ago by Sun Tzu. Since then, modern warfare and strategies have advanced significantly, especially with the advent of the digital age.  

Though some of the strategic concepts remain timeless, such as 

Subdue Without Combat: The highest form of victory is overcoming the enemy without direct fighting.

Know Yourself and Your Enemy: Understanding both sides ensures safety in battle.

Adaptability: Be flexible and fluid like water, adjusting to the enemy's weaknesses.

Deception: "Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak".

Speed and Efficiency: Swift, decisive action prevents long, costly conflicts.

However, what if any action including swift and decisive actions, is wrong?

Aggression for any reason whatsoever that leads to harm, especially of the innocent, is wrong and will lead to retribution and mutual annihilation catastrophes. 

Deception, though effective for short periods of time should not be a primary strategy for deception, also deceives the deceiver over time into believing that fraud and lies much like Ponzi schemes are any kind of truth and foundational intelligence. Because people have a tendency to believe what they want instead of believing what is needed or real. Deception will lead to credibility and reliability issues.

Though adaptability is key, adapting just to perceived weaknesses of an enemy is not enough. Adaptation is required for all situations, especially current technological changes. Adaptation is also required for self-enlightenment and not just blind focus on opponents' perceived weaknesses, neglecting strengths. An enemy is only as weak as their weakest friend; therefore, looking solely at an enemy's weaknesses is not enough.

Knowing thyself and thy enemy is definitely a key strategy. But how well do you really know yourself? Existing in the constructs of Caesar, neglecting and ignoring spiritual aspects of self with delusions of ruthlessness through any means necessary for victory is the destruction of self and humanity within.  

How well do you know your enemy? Knowing just the enemy is not enough. You must also know their friends, the ones that will rise to the aid of the perceived enemy, and also those that will fight for justice and freedom, and against aggressors and bullies that will murder innocent people for political or selfish gains.

Subduing without combat is a lofty goal. However resorting to brainwashing, gaslighting, and terrorism is not any kind of anything, but crimes against humanity, and brainwashing yourself into believing that doing harm will result in anything worthwhile is grandiose and unholy.

Finally, once mired in the war games and power struggles, you are chained to the process of mutual annihilation and lose-lose situations, not mutual understanding and interests, and peace and prosperity.

Sun Tzu's treatise, The Art of War, encompasses numerous enduring strategic principles, including insights into leadership and conflict resolution. 

These principles aim to secure swift, efficient, and strategic victory, often embodying the 'ends justify the means” philosophy, whereby any method—immoral or harmful—may be deemed acceptable if it leads to a desirable outcome, such as victory.

Unintentionally, the author appears to endorse perpetual warfare and incessant conflict, for once an individual adopts an aggressive mindset, peace becomes unattainable.

For example, Sun Tzu asserts, “Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win."

Consequently, a warrior committed to winning through conflict may employ deceptive and nefarious strategies to prepare for war, thereby initiating a state of undeclared, ongoing warfare and continuous conflict.

The text does not predict the duration of conflicts once warfare commences. Historically, Imperial Japan anticipated conquering China within three months to a year of the 1937 invasion. Similarly, Russia expected to conquer Ukraine within three to ten days following the 2022 invasion.

None of these projections materialized.

The reason lies in the fact that deception and subterfuge, whether directed at adversaries or oneself, undermine the credibility of the aggressor who believes that victory can be secured through deceptive superiority, moral compromise, and the sacrifice of innocent lives, leading to a loss of moral standing and international reputation.

Engaging in aggression results in a loss of legitimate standing in the global community, owing to the human cost and violations against humanity.

Such aggression ultimately leads to a lose-lose scenario concerning human lives and ethical integrity.

While Sun Tzu acknowledges the economic ramifications of prolonged warfare, historical contexts differ from current global markets, where even short-term conflicts can precipitate significant and enduring economic repercussions.

Finally, the adage, "The wise warrior avoids the battle," underscores the importance of eschewing warfare and conflict altogether to maintain moral standing, economic stability, and to foster enduring peace and prosperity.

Heaven on Earth

 

✝️

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”  

                                             - Matthew 6:21

What is your most valued treasure?

Remove all mundane temporal things, the things you cannot take with you when you die, and what is left?  

What happens when you live your whole life focused on the “treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal” (Matthew 6:19)?  

Your heart, soul, and mind become neglected and poor.

Therefore, what is your most valued treasure? 

Obviously not any treasures of the mundane, "but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal" (Matthew 6:20).

Where are these treasures in heaven found?  

These treasures in heaven can be easily found in heaven on earth (Matthew 6:10), stored within the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), within the deepest parts of your purity of heart and soul.

Thus your most valued treasure besides your deepest connections to the Lord, loved ones, and Holy Spirit, is the most authentic you, the you the Lord created you to be, stored and expressed in the fruit of the Spirit within you.

If you care only for the treasures of the mundane, neglecting the treasures of heaven, then how would you ever live a spiritual life and defend yourself against sin and the temptations of Satan?

Moreover, would it have any effect to wear the Armor of the Lord without ever connecting to it or activating its protective holy light?

By keeping in step with the Spirit, we can live by the Spirit and have a heaven on earth (Galatians 5:25).

Do you really think that cockroaches, devoid of honor, decency, and purity of heart, could have conquered anyone through the desecration of the temple of the Holy Spirit? 

Or were the cockroaches conquered by Satan and the sins of lust, perpetrating crimes against humanity? 

Where is purity of heart, where is honor, and where is love in conquest?  

Nowhere.

Because the abusers, delighting in abuse, damnation, and the abuse of power, are in delusions of grandeur, being conquered by Satan as their purity of heart, honor, decency, and love are destroyed. 

Sinful practices result in damnation, not salvation. 

Do you think cockroaches would be forgiven for them, especially without redemption, confession, repentance, and atonement for sins?

 

💭

There are individuals who would go to any lengths to attain their Caesar objectives and missions, even at the expense of innocent lives and their souls, neglecting or overriding the objectives and missions of the Holy Spirit.

What are the ramifications of disregarding or disobeying spiritual laws and the commands of the Holy Spirit?

Throughout history, those who have defied the Lord have expedited their own destruction and demise.

Although there are records of successful conquest, such acts are never equivalent to governance. Territories are seldom held together for long periods. What is the purpose of these conquests a century later? Merely legacies of senseless deaths and crimes against humanity.

At the onset of World War II, Hitler and the Axis powers conducted numerous conquests rooted in fear and hatred.

Fear and hatred are not innovations in economics nor healing lights; only the destruction wrought by war which accelerates greater devastation.

By the end of World War II, Germany, under Hitler's rule, was in ruins, and its people faced starvation.

Why then adopt similar destructive practices as those of Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan?

Is it necessary to possess psychic abilities to foresee the eventual outcome of such destructive harm?

How does one fund an army, navy, or air force in the absence of a robust economy?

Regardless of justifications, what becomes of your soul when you commit atrocities and murder innocent individuals, particularly children, for personal gain?

Conquering material possessions or worldly domains that belong to the Lord, at the expense of your soul or innocent lives, does not constitute true conquest but rather signifies the condemnation to be conquered by greed, abuse of power, and Satan’s temptations.

This represents nothing but a failure of character and a lapse in resisting Satan’s temptations.

When Jesus Christ was tempted by Satan after forty days and nights in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13), to worship Satan in exchange for worldly power and kingdoms, He responded, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve.’”

Who do you serve if not the Lord or humanity?

Thank you for your sound judgment.  

Thank you to our European friends for their patience and mercy.

Meekness: Strength Under Fire

 

✝️

Meekness is just one aspect of strength under fire.  

An individual can encompass all the colors of the wind, including the multiple areas of inner strength in the fruit of the Spirit and attributes from the armor of the Lord.

According to the biblical definition, meekness means maintaining strength and calm under fire, characterized by composure, bravery, resilience, humility, gentleness, patience, and obedience to the Lord's will, even in the face of extreme danger.

The Key Characteristics of meekness are:

Maintaining Composure Under Fire: Bravery, resilience, humility, gentleness, patience, and obedience to the Lord's will, even in the face of extreme danger and the threat of death.

No desire to belittle or dominate others, and no need for control, because one is at peace with oneself and the Lord.

Humility: Not being overly impressed with oneself or one's own importance. 

Gentleness: A mild and kind disposition, not easily angered.*

Self-Control (under fire): Restraining one's spirit, mind, and emotions.*

Obedience to the Lord: Obeying the Lord's will.* 

Patience & Forbearance: The capacity to remain calm and endure delays, difficulties, or suffering without getting angry, focusing on long-term endurance; and having the self-control, tolerance, and restraint when dealing with difficult people, not easily provoked.  

What Meekness Is NOT*

Weakness or Cowardice: It's the opposite of being timid or unable to act. 

Self-Seeking: It involves putting others before oneself. 

Passivity: A meek person can be strong and passionate; encompassing all the colors of the wind.

Biblical Examples:

Jesus Christ: The ultimate example, showing meekness by enduring suffering and teaching truth instead of arguing. 

Moses: Described as the meekest man, he patiently endured much. 

Matthew 5:5: "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth".

What are the consequences when the heavenly purpose is intentionally distorted, particularly through self-aggrandizing illusions and ambitions for power that completely disregard humanity and divine principles?

Where is your place (according to your calling and purpose as assigned by the Lord, which is not based upon your own ambitions or desires) in the tapestry of heaven's way?

Should reincarnation exist as a possibility, then one must consider how an individual who commits atrocities in crimes against humanity could potentially escape damnation to even have the opportunity for reincarnation.

Furthermore, if such unholy acts cause the sinner's soul to decay and fragment, how might that individual ever reincarnate as a human being?

Ultimately, if a person chooses harm, abuse, and violence over non-maleficence, healing, and peace, then the path to heaven will remain inaccessible to them in their chosen trajectory of hell.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall, “Who in history is the wisest of them all?”

Christians would most likely answer Jesus Christ.  

Why then do some Christians disregard Christ's teachings whenever inconvenient or disagreeable to their selfish desires?

Why believe that whatever grand schemes that go against the teachings of Christ will have a good end, especially if sinful, destructive, and cause harm?

What good is conquest if it means losing your soul and costing innocent lives in crimes against humanity?

Why assume that by destroying, subtracting assets from the world means conquering, especially when there will come a tipping point where nothing is left and economies become unsustainable where no one wants anything to do with them, thus no buyers or supporters?

Why would Jesus Christ state that “the meek shall inherit the earth” (Matthew 5:5), why not conquerors, aggressors, shepherds, or kings? 

In as short or long as it takes, define what it means to be meek?  

How could meekness ever help to inherit the earth?

⚠️

When it directly involves an individual's life, you need that person's consent; otherwise, it's harassment, a violation of that person's privacy, and the individual's right to self-determination.

And if that individual does not like selfish, me-me-me types, then remove them. 

Otherwise, you will also be guilty of harassment and other violations, including crimes against humanity, and will also face damnation.

So says the Lord, 

So be it.

🤔

If you have a choice, would you choose salvation or damnation?

The good news is that you have a choice every second of every day to choose salvation and walk in all the ways of the Lord.

Each day is an opportunity to cultivate the fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).

On the other hand, when you choose to forsake love and peace, along with the fruits of the Spirit, and to cause harm through sins of hate, fear, and aggression, it becomes a choice of damnation and delighting in wrongdoing (1 Corinthians 13:6, Isaiah 5:20) against humanity and the Lord.

The excuses are numerous in covering up sins.

Those who believe selectively cling to false notions that sins can be forgiven without first confessing and repenting of them, that all sins, including blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, would be forgiven; and that forgiveness by victims or the Lord equates to or affects the character of the guilty sinner, which it does not. 

Only through the process of redemption can the guilty sinner clean themselves up and receive salvation.

Those who do not believe think that spiritual laws would not apply to them, even when committing a crime against humanity, which it does, because when unholy, their souls would be completely incompatible with heaven.

You can choose to destroy the lights of healing, innovation, prosperity, and love in peace, to live in the lies of grandiose delusions and power trips.

That is your choice.

However, know that in the end, whether you receive salvation or damnation is the Lord's choice and decision.  

Note:

What are the requirements for entry into heaven?

"Unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

What is your purpose in life, as assigned originally the Lord?

What is your mission?

We are all called to be stewards of the earth, which includes caring for each person in humanity.

So what is your specific purpose in the tapestry of life?

Your purpose must match the talent the Lord gave you at creation.

What gives your life meaning?

What must you uphold and defend to keep your covenant with the Lord?

If you stray from your purpose or fail in your mission, what kind of meaning would your life serve?

If you do not know your purpose, mission, or what gives your life meaning, "Ask (with a sincere and pure heart) and it will be given to you; seek (with a clear conscience, unbiased and open mind) and you will find; knock (respectfully with integrity and honor) and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened" (Matthew 7:7-8).

Take the time to reaffirm your purpose. Remember that life is a spiritual journey, and the way home is your connection to the Holy Spirit, serving humanity and the Lord.

Before we continue the conversation about the Christian code of conduct, let's discuss the difference between moral authority and holy authority.

What is moral authority?

Moral authority is the power to lead based on high ethical standards, such as respect, honesty, integrity, and humility, earned through trust and a strong reputation.

Without moral authority, there is no legitimacy, as a lack of ethical standards often leads to a bad reputation, illicit activities, and crimes against humanity; thus, there is no standing, no prestige, and no legitimacy.

When we talk about a Christian code of conduct, we are also talking about holy authority, the highest level of ethical standards that make up moral authority, the ability to commune with the Holy Spirit, to live a spiritual life, and to receive salvation.  

Without holy authority, there is no communion with the Lord through the power of the Holy Spirit and no church (Matthew 18:20), especially when those gathered are unable to truly receive communion due to unrepentant sins.

It is important to note that holy authority requires higher standards than moral authority because it's rooted in the deepest principles of love and peace, and sacred trust.  

🤔 Answer the following questions: 

Why is moral authority so important for legitimacy and standing in humanity?  

And why is holy authority so vital to salvation and spiritual enlightenment?  

🕊

 

🤔

Is there such a thing as a Christian code of conduct?

If so, what is it? Is it the same as a code of honor, a set of principles designed to ensure integrity, trust, and respect?

Let us begin where prophecies pass away and tongues cease, and consider what we will have in the end that is eternal and transformative.

“For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”

                       - 1 Corinthians 13:12-13

What is love? 

“Love is patient and kind; 

love does not envy or boast; 

It is not arrogant or rude. 

It does not insist on its own way; 

It is not irritable or resentful; 

it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, 

but rejoices with the truth. 

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 

Love never ends. 

As for prophecies, they will pass away; 

As for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.”         

                                               - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

If you haven't already guessed, the first command in the Christian code of conduct is to love one another with respect and regard.  

"My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you".

                                              - John 15: 8-12

        

"Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love".

💭

Whether to believe or not remains solely at your discretion.

Doubt is not inherently detrimental.

Continual interrogation and challenge of established beliefs are beneficial pursuits.

If a belief withstands the test of time, overcomes societal prejudices, dispels fears, and eradicates ignorance, it warrants thorough investigation, study, and critical evaluation of various belief systems.

What is there to fear?

Is it the possibility that ancient methods may not prove valid?

Old practices would not endure if they lacked sustainability, validity, and resilience.

Science and scholarly inquiry are expected to ultimately refute outdated superstitions.

Test these beliefs as you would test your character, as the Lord does, and the truth will reveal itself.

Nonetheless, it is essential to recognize that human-created catastrophes are the responsibility of humanity, not of the Lord or the victims.

Your spiritual journey and development influence your comprehension and future decisions within your belief framework.

It is hoped that, ultimately, you will pass your tests of character and be worthy of the Lord's grace.

Furthermore, if we wish to assess the so-called superiority of a religion or individual, such evaluations should be based on character and actions, with the emphasis on tangible results.
