Saw this on my FB feed today and this is a comment I made about the Gospel of Grace and why it is actually a toxic concept.
God doesn’t need any more glory. How much more must He take away from man to make himself look better?
But mankind sure could use a bit of that. We suffer from the cancer of low self esteem (toxic unworthiness), and that has produced an Ego in us that misbehaves like a psychologically damaged child… and we call it “sin”.
Yes, it is “sin” to live separate and in Self denial from all that is good and worthy, not being permitted to clothe ourselves in the reputation / glory of the Divine. Grace takes that away from man, that’s right. And this is why Grace is toxic.
People have a real problem with blaming God for their troubles.
I am all for blaming God. And we should not feel guilty for doing so. Why? Because “He” (just using that because of the common vernacular) has the biggest shoulders, and he created this mess.
I wish to refrain from blaming human beings who have been virtually blind folded and are expected to guide themselves and others through this confusing life without running into things. π€¦
People don’t like me talking like this, because “God” or our concept of Him is the only means for self soothing that is not tainted by this world. I get it. But, maybe we need to look at the reasons for our need to spiritually ’self soothe’? Why do we need a blameless Daddy?
Maybe our problems remain, because we constantly self blame and make ourselves responsible for failing. Maybe it isn’t our fault? And we carry around this false guilt that does not belong to us. Put it on God’s shoulders, literally for that is where it belongs.
Perhaps this is the meaning the Gospel should have had. Instead of finding Himself an innocent lamb (human sacrifice), He should have been the scapegoat for what He created.
Something I wrote as a FB comment… When will deconstruction be over?
What we are actually “deconstructing” isn’t the Bible or Christianity, although these are pieces in this megalithic mosaic… but really it’s all of our “ego” constructs. And those involve so much more than just the religious aspects.
We are deconstructing the illusions of Ego. And yes that will be ongoing for the rest of our 3D existence. We constantly have to weigh and re-level the balance of Consciousness and Ego. And each time we deconstruct another piece, we go through another grief cycle.
Reminds me of the Bible verse attributed to Paul when he wrote “I die daily”… I die daily to yet another piece of my Ego constructed “reality”.
And when we are done deconstructing Religion, lets move on to deconstructing Politics.
An entry from 2 years ago, but I feel it is still relevant! This is just an off the cuff talk, I don’t know if it will make a lot of sense as I am bumbling around quite a bit… if nothing else, just enjoy the energy. π
