I think that book was published as an aid to help people,
like Southeast Asians, understand the Bible's content from
Genesis to Revelation.

You really DON'T KNOW LOVE at all
by Terry inlove is spoken of as though it were an actual.....thing.. the discourse surrounding "love" is a dishonest framing of an argument based on a non-context.. .
love is an emotion.
it is the strongest possible positive emotion.. where does it come from?.

Life itself is the source of all other values. Without life their can be no value.
So, if "love" enhances my life, makes me happy- promotes my life- do I then
"know" love? Might be true but it seems like a cold calculation, a cold ruler
to measure with.

"Finally, by locating the divine in the "voice" and "hearing" of the text, it leads its hearers or readers to find the divine within the text and within themselves, and so to discover themselves within the divine. In such an interpretive movement of letting go and finding, of becoming sober and being found, the text's final words suggest, the reader "goes up" to the salvific "place of rest," "finds" the divine persona revealed in the text, and "enters into" a state of living and not dying again. "
Recovering, this quote is what prompted me to believe it might be the "reader",
but I admit, I can't understand what the writer had in mind when he wrote it. that
said, I don't yet know what Terry has in mind and why he thinks what he thinks. Terry?

From what I've read, I gather that it is the reader
and the listener who end up being the speaker in
this riddle (poem).

Could it be that "truth" is just a property, a property of a system (an object). Just as length
or momentum, diameter or circumference are just properties of a system. Could we not ask
"what is length?" Or "what is length made of?"
Maybe truth, like length, changes according to the system of which it is a part of. And like length,
"truth" would change as the system changed and still be "true."

Black and White Thinking: the ENEMY of Intelligent Thought
by Terry insomething is true if it matches reality.. a true statement cannot contradict reality.. but, the mind can interpret anything into its opposite.
all it takes is black and white thinking and a belief things should be otherwise.. if jeffrey dahmer's mother thought he was a good son, then, he could not possibly be the guy who is eating people.. if o.j.simpson was a fine, upstanding fella with a great personality, then, he couldn't possibly have brutally murdered two people with a large serrated knife.
a ton of proof means nothing when belief is everything.. black and white thinking won't permit any facts to slip by the core belief and become refuted.. are you guilty of black and white thinking?.

Terry, very good post.
"WHEN was the last time you were wrong.....and CHANGED your opinion, belief or actions???"
It's often that I tell myself, "if I knew then what I know now." I just wish I knew now what
I'm bound to learn in the future, wrong ideas or actions, or inactions, that I,m guilty of now.
My consolation is that I'm trying now to reason and be logical in my thoughts and actions.
Of course, I realize my reason and logic may not conform to others reason and logic, but
I'll gladly and quietly listen to what they have to say and hopefully enjoy it.

MIN: lal, that would be correct.
So, JC will have destroyed all the evildoers, abyssed Satan and the demons, maybe even
started ressurecting the dead but because some of the anointed are still alive here on Earth
He, JC ........ His bus has not arrived yet. Ooooookay!
