The Red Door

Others,

There was a red door. It was the cry for war. War however, was just a distraction for genocide.

Genocide is not an acceptable tool for government. The western coalition needs to look for who will be recognized to replace Assad when his regime falls.

The Syrian National Congress represents the Sunni majority. They will have to negotiate representation for the minority Christians and Alawites. This is where freedom of religion plays a part. This is where the other freedoms and rights of the constitution factor into play. Representation has to include minorities without making a minority interest the rule of law.

The following re-write celebrates the movement away from destruction as the basis for leadership.

Destruction
Ps24 Ps85 2Sam6  Eph1 Amos7

Our beloved had gathered
all the chosen from the competition.
They set out from the station
with the leaders of praise
to bring up the ark of the promise
with the wings of passage to life.
The workers of the earth
brought it from the house
on the hill of nobility.

The earth is our foundation;
the world and all who dwell therein
belong to the love for creation.
We are the workers of the earth.

It is the CREATOR who raised the land above the seas
and made it firm between the currents of the deep.

Who can ascend the hill of nobility
and dance before the ark of promise?
Those who have not pledged themselves
to destruction nor devoted themselves
to falsehood may rejoice with love.

Our beloved brought out the ark
to the city of peace with rejoicing.
Christ danced before the fulfillment of the promise
and made contributions to celebrate community
with dancing and sounds of joy.

Lift up your heads, O people;
lift them high as though you were raising gates.
You are the doors; the passage for truth.
You will become part of the fulfillment.

There is a plumb line
for constructing competition;
the location for derision
will be left desolate;
the sanctuaries for contempt
will be brought down.

Condemnation
by accusation
will be stopped.
Justice will be achieved
by scientific investigation
with due process of law.
We will win liberty
by respecting
our rights together.

I will listen to what the LORD God is saying.
Words of peace are being spoken to the faithful;
to those who turn their hearts to faith.

Salvation is near those who fear
the deception of perception;
Mercy and truth have met.
Righteousness and peace have kissed.

Integrity will spring up from the earth;
Glory will shine down from heaven.

Free will was pre-destined from before the beginning.
We were designed for adoption as children of God.
When you heard the word of truth, the gospel of salvation,
you were marked by the zeal of the seal with promise
in the Holy Spirit. This is the pledge of our inheritance:
we are being redeemed from destruction as God’s own people
to the praise of the greater glory.

The LORD will grant prosperity.
Our land will yield its increase.
Righteousness will go before us.
The uncreated light will be a pathway
for our feet.

The UN is managing intervention with fact finding missions in Syria.

The invasion of Afghanistan had circumvented the FBI investigation of suspected terrorist acts and UN investigation of claims regarding terrorist camps.

There was a red door. It was the cry for war. It was the claim that we were under attack by “terrorists” from training camps in Afghanistan. The claim was not investigated. The invasion was an act of aggession.

Like the destruction of the WTC towers, it was assumed that the officials who constructed the official story knew what had happened. The trouble is that they knew that they were moving the US around pre-cautions against military invasion. They knew that they had made the red door. They also knew that they were blaming it on “Arab terrorists” so they could force regime change in a neighbor to China and Iran.

The escalation of military action in Viet Nam had been justified by the claim that US vessels had been attacked. They failed to mention that the vessels were in North Vietnamese waters.

I see a red door.

Others,

The first "Christ" in the bible was Cyrus, an Achaemenid (Persian/Iranian) emperor. Cyrus II liberated the Jews and other captives from Babylon. There is archaeological evidence however that the Achaemenids had a policy for destroying the enemy. If making a god out of stone was bad, making God into a tyrant by destruction is worse.

The whole apocalyptic battle between Christ and the anti-Christ is about this policy of destruction. Empire changed hands based upon a different method for killing the "terrorists" who threatened the empire. The Bush administration had resurrected the beast with their "official story." We are charged with the task of restoring constitutional democracy with the bill of rights.

This said, the US is not the only country that struggles with authoritarian elitism. Syria has had a dictatorship under the minority Alawite control for over forty years. They are on record as promoters of torture. More than 200 Syrians have defected.
http://edition.cnn.com/2012/07/03/world/meast/syria-unrest/

Alawites are associated with the Shiites (Iran). Assad's father imposed cronies on the government after his rise to power (1970).
http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/02/us-syria-alawites-sect-idUSTRE8110Q720120202

Paul had been using the law to punish Christians. He believed that the power of destruction was the path to power. He was on the road to Damascus to report more Christians to Roman authorities when he encountered Christ. It was there that he found that power is made perfect in weakness.

The situation in Syria shows that sectarian motives often underlie tyranny. This is the reason that freedom of religion is so important as a principle for civil government. It prohibits establishment and allows for the free exercise of religion.

Weakness

2Corinth12 Mk6 Ps123 Ps48

I know someone
who was on the road
to Damascus.
He was using the law
to persecute and punish.
He was devoted to destruction.

I know someone
who was caught up
in the experience of Christ
on that imperial road.
The person felt paradise.
The feeling transcended
perception without leaving it.
It expanded perspective
without destroying it.

The experience was so wonderful
that the person felt all experience
prior to Christ was wrong.

Pain was gone.
Competition had no meaning.
Joy in life made sense.
The request was made
to dwell in paradise indefinitely.

The LORD said,
“Grace is sufficient for you.
Power is perfected in weakness.”

Whenever I feel weak in Christ,
then I am strong in the call
to increase strength in leadership.
Love your enemy.
Do not destroy opposition.

Walk with Jesus as he teaches.
The law is for liberty.
It is not for destruction.
Your authority will cast out
false or harmful precedents.
You will promote truth for
liberty with justice and equity.
Happiness will meet your success.

If you are not welcomed
remember that devotion to destruction
has been attempting to control the world
from before the beginning of civilization.
Shake the dust from your sleeves
against those who support those
that are so devoted.

I lift my eyes to the light in the skies.
As hunger looks for satisfaction;
as thirst seeks refreshment;
we look to God as our provider.

Have mercy on us, O LORD.
Have mercy. We have had
more than enough contempt.

We have suffered unfair treatment
from the advantage given to the elite.
There has been too much derision
handed down from indolent pride.

Safety and health are guidelines
for godliness. God is our guide
forever.

Praise the LORD!

===================

The statement, “Power is made perfect in weakness” has strong implications for education. When someone works on improving areas of performance that are regarded as weak, he or she has a lifelong relationship with personal and social development.

What happens though when someone else is defined as the weakness?

The Wanted - My Weakness
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWbAuAsRZNY&feature=related

Socrates argued for choosing the lover rather than the non-lover in the dialog called “Phaedrus.” He felt that while choosing the non-lover contributes to dispassion in social relations, it is also the basis for slavery. The property owner will choose a non-lover because that person can be controlled. When a provider chooses someone whom he loves however, shared passion is the basis for managing the relationship.

The argument has merit, but if the chooser chooses someone who doesn’t want to be controlled or doesn’t share passion, then both options are undermined. Slavery has been outlawed but de facto enslavement still happens in abusive relations. People who share passion are in such a hurry to consummate their sexual relations legally that they don’t give enough thought to how they will work together to manage a household.

The entanglement of romantic love is not easy to untangle, nevertheless it factors into the consideration of long term relations, whether one is for or against passion. It is possible that a couple who doesn’t feel passion can discuss fairness in management issues, while a passionate couple needs to slow down the mad rush of hormones long enough to decide if they can manage a household together. If so, what’s the plan?

Power is made perfect in weakness,

Old man had written (Sun.Jun.24,2012 2:01pm):

 Who wrote the Bible? A God or men?

Did a God ever declare "He" (God) "inspired" its content or did men claim "He" did?

 If both answers are "men," then why should we believe the Bible?

===============

Old man, others,

There were female authors.

People were inspired to write about God by virtue of religious experience.

Reading the bible helps develop historical perspective, when historical perspective is valued as the frame of reference. Believing the bible requires prioritizing passages in relation to the commandment to love. Part of prioritization is de-prioritizing those parts that are offensive and outdated.

There are biblical passages that were included in concession to imperial success. "Herem" or the advocacy of 'devotion to destruction' is an extremely offensive biblical concept. This advocacy amounts to a justification for genocide. It is without question, the most objectionable part of the bible record.

There are other parts that promote forms of punishment that are clearly outdated, but the immature reader may interpret them as a call to societal regression in cruelty. These passages qualify as markers of where some people in society had been in terms of using cruelty and inequity in leadership as counterpoints to the promotion of justice and equity in the economy.

These counterpoints are still objectionable, yet there are those who use them to relentlessly oppose any opposition; the basis for tyranny.

People of faith promote love, providence, liberty and justice. These are the parts of the bible that we prioritize as values for society.

Direction Ps30

Corruption has been cast from power.
Integrity is being lifted to lead.

Direction.
Selection.
Election.
As the sun proclaims the brilliance of creation,
the leader is to shine with the radiance of the LORD.

We were not created to destroy each other.
We have the power to lead with others.
We have the ability to improve past performance.
We have the capacity to balance abundance with need.

Liberty is the thing that makes us sing!

The politics for providence
has to replace power without principles.

When “defense” is the only function
for the state upon which different parties agree,
defense becomes offense;
war becomes a goal;
and spending becomes oppressive.

Utter dependence upon poor precedent
is enslavement to regression.
When war wins everyone loses.
When violence dictates policy
there is no respect for liberty.

When genocide imposes control with fear
there is no justice that is fair.
When slavery is inflicted
by the credit crunch of debt
there is no equity in the economy.

If we are only to condemn any wrong
who could stand? Each has error.
Any can be condemned.

The politics of providence for people
becomes power without principles.

The goodness of God never ends.
Divine blessings never cease.

I have called to you
from out of the depths LORD.
Please listen to my voice.
Hear that which needs
to be fulfilled.
Feed our need.

Christ, my youth is near death.
Heal her with the light of your love.
Others said, “Your daughter is dead.
Don’t trouble the teacher.”
Christ said, “Do not fear.
Believe in her life.
She will live.”

He said, “Rise and shine little one.”
She woke from the death of sleep.
Talitha rose to shine like the sun.

My soul will magnify you.
My spirit will rejoice in your salvation.
You lifted me up.
You did not let death
triumph over me.

I cried to you.
You restored my health.

You brought me up from the dead
to shine in the light of the living.

Sing to the LORD, dear friends.
Give thanks for the remembrance of love.

The wrath of storm lasts for a time.
Divine favor lasts in time. It provides deliverance
from the bad of the past.

Weeping had spent the night,
but joy came with the morning.

You turned my wailing into dance.
You put off my rags and clothed me
with happiness.

My heart will sing to you without ceasing.
O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever.

Deliverance

Others,

Feed the good.

Love your enemy. Train evil to restrain. Limit the evil one to defense.

Deliverance
1Sam17 Job38 2Corinth6 Mk4 Ps9 Ps107

Let no one’s heart fail because of the enemy.
Deliverance will be a refuge in times of trouble.
We have won liberty against the odds.
We have gone to sea in ships
and found deliverance from waves
that climbed to the heavens.

Who limits the power of the sea
when it bursts from this womb of land?
Who clothes the sky with clouds
and blankets it with darkness?
God, the CREATOR, is our Christ.
Christ is our REDEEMER.

We cry to the REDEEMER in distress.
We have been delivered from destruction.
The storm has been reduced to a whisper.
The waves of the sea were made quiet.

Now is the acceptable time.
Now is the day of salvation.
Christ says,
“I have heard you.
I am helping.”

“Don’t worry. Everything will be fine.
The anxiety of storm has passed.”

“Let us leave the crowd behind.
Cross over to the other side.
We will find peace.
The storm climaxed.
Now it will fade.
Have faith.”

When you are working
you shine the most.
You are not thinking about
your troubles.
It is good when people live
together in the unity of community.

It is like the feeling of a job well done;
when sweat christens your face
with the glistening light
of accomplishment.

Sing praise to the LEADER
who leads you in living life;
the transcendence of the CREATOR is infused
throughout creation. Remember the good things
that have been done for you. Remember
those things that you have done well.
We will do better together.

The blessing has been ordained.
It is life with happiness.
Feed the good.
Enjoy life!
We win!

Providence

Mk.4:26-29

Jesus said, "The kingdom of God is as if someone would scatter seed on the ground, and would sleep and rise night and day, and the seed would sprout and grow, he does not know how. The earth produces of itself, first the stalk, then the head, then the full grain in the head. But when the grain is ripe, at once he goes in with his sickle, because the harvest has come."

=========================

Others,

The community of God is like a dream sown into reality. The seeds are scattered on the ground; not so much planted as thrown around. Night falls. Sleep overcomes awareness. Consciousness seeps into dreams. Seeds sprout and grow without being watched.

The earth, moisture, heat and light do the work. First comes the sprout that reaches upward to support a head; then the plant grows to produce grain, fruit or flower. We harvest that which is beneficial for us.

A couple establishes a household. Households make a community. Communities make a state. States united by agreement form alliance. Alliances make the international community. The politics of providence makes the difference between international harmony and strife.

When politics are defined by the mechanics of destruction, the debate is over who does less damage. When politics are defined by the industry of providence, the debate is over what provides the best representation for human rights.

We had to walk by faith alone for centuries. Cruelty in punishment and expansion by military aggression were the mechanics for destruction. It was called civilization, but it made larger criminals into leaders of the state; the state of destruction. Now faith has found ground in the governance of society for civilization with the provision against cruel and unusual punishment and the provisions for human rights. The state is for creation with the design of providence.

Voting is an essential operation in democracy. Republicans manipulated the vote in Florida with re-districting to obtain a “representation” that is close to a two to one ratio. There are nearly two Republicans for every Democrat in the Florida legislature. The ratio has been in effect for nearly ten years.

The current attempt to purge the voting rolls was orchestrated to counter the correction of the re-districting plan by the Florida Supreme Court.  The SCOFL judged that the current proposal for re-districting did not qualify as a correction. A US judge overturned the decision.

The right to vote has been compromised again. If the decision is not overruled by a higher office, there will be another Republican majority in Florida. It will simply not be as large. That is what they regard as a correction. It “favors” democracy only insofar as the disadvantage to the people is not as large.

Senator Nelson – Right to Vote
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_2B9HXXSow&feature=context-gfa

Governor Scott’s purge only adds insult to injury. This re-districting plan plus the purge affects Florida’s participation in national elections. Once again, leading Republicans are turning democracy “upside down” to promote the unfair advantage.

Politics of Providence
for the People

Leadership is to be elected
for concept and character.
What is the plan
for the economy?
What is the stand
for education?
What is the strategy
for defense?
What are the programs
for the people?
How will the rights
of the people
be represented
by the rule of law?

May the LEADER guide
and direct us in election.
Let providence with liberty
and justice serve as guide.
Let the glistening light
christen our leadership
with the oil of anointment.

Let safety and health
be granted with power.
Let resources be shared
for prosperity.

Let the offerings
of education and experience
be shown respect
Let power for the people
grow into a large tree
that provides shade and shelter
for residents of every kind.
Righteousness will flourish with fertility.
It will spread outward with mighty branches
for peace.

Let those who lay claim
to absolute power
be limited by law.

It is good to give thanks;
to sing praises for providence
from the Most High.

We will sing of your love in the morning.
Your faithfulness will be remembered at night.

We will celebrate creativity
with music and art.

We have been made glad by acts
that were made in accord with divine design.
We shout for joy for what has been established
with the will of God for the people!

Let those who are planted firmly in truth
with liberty for justice flourish like plants
afforded soil, water, heat and light.

We will produce good works
with the seniority of citizenship.
We will be youthful and vibrant
to the end of our days.

Let the fullness of life
through the length of years
show the benefits of faith
in the LEADER;
the Rock in whom
there is no fault.

The law was recorded to protest injustice; to liberate us from the bonds to slavery; to rejoice in healthy relationship. Representation for minorities was introduced with stories in opposition to the stories told by the “leadership” of society.

Today, drama still plays a role in the improvement of society through political representation. The musical “HairSpray” is an American testimonial for improvement. It shows us that working together as people is a social value of the highest order.

Lyrics

HairSpray – You Can’t Stop the Beat

 “Ever since we first saw the light
A man and woman liked to shake it
On a saturday night
And so i'm gonna shake and shimmy it
With all my might today…”

“'Cause you can't stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the rain from above
They can try to stop this paradise
We're dreaming of
But you cannot stop the rhythm
Of two hearts in love to stay!

“You can't stop the beat!”

====================

The battle with oppression is far from over. Many within the largest group of the “majority rule” are manipulated by the unfair advantage for the elite. Together with the minorities who are also oppressed by the advantage, there are a large number of people who stand to profit from making the correction.

Voting is an important form of participation. We need to get out and vote even in situations where it is obvious that the vote has been manipulated in the past. The harder they have to work to manipulate the vote, the better it is for us. Campaign contributions are important. Some media expression seeks to depict the larger fundraiser as the greater candidate. They want us to believe that the election is determined by fundraising.

Contributions from grass roots organization mean more in effort justification than the contributions that come from those who are exploiting the unfair advantage. If we have to work harder for victory, our win means more for everybody.

Vote for the correction. Rock on with Obama. Roll with the politics of providence.

Limitation

Others,

The bill of rights has not eliminated tyranny in the world. It hasn't even ended it in western society. Why bother? It is a catalyst for improvement. While much attention is focused on the oppression of the Syrian government, the closing of a hospital in Gaza may not seem like much. The funding cut is however another abuse of the call for austerity.

The international oligarchy wants to have people fight for independence with guns, not politics.  A bill of rights for each country in the Middle East will reduce oppression and violence. A hospital in Gaza helps to repair the damage caused by the promotion of oppression with violence. Control with violence is inherent to the elitist policy.

Power and Limitation
Gen3  2Corinth4 1Sam8 Mk3 Ps138 Ps130

The couple heard the sound
of LEADERSHIP walking
through the trees
at the time
of the evening breeze.

We believe.
So we speak.
We know that the one
who raised Jesus from the dead
will raise us also with Christ.
We will be brought into his presence
with thanksgiving.

The LEADER does not give leadership
over others. Leadership is given authority
with informed consent by the people.

We will give thanks with our whole heart.
Our praises will be sung before authorities.

We will sing of your majesty
wherever we are.
We will praise your Name
for providence, liberty, justice
and equity.

-------------------

I call to you
from out of the depths.
You listen.
Please hear the voice
of my supplication.

If you were to punish for the guilt
of being human, who could stand?

There is forgiveness with you.
You forgive the forgivable.

My soul waits for JUDGEMENT;
more than the morning waits for dawn;
more than dawn before morning.

When I called, you answered me.
You increased my strength.

Your name has been glorified.
Your word is the law.

You keep me safe
though I walk in the midst of trouble.
You provide protection from condemnation
and the fury of destruction.

The design of nature
has made my purpose.
Love endures.
Intelligence will not
be taken from me.

You who suffer pain from conflict,
wait for the LEADER.
There is mercy.

LEADERSHIP cares for the poor,
the disabled and the afflicted.
The haughty are brought
down by the arrogance
of pride.
Power is limited
by proportion.

A house divided by violence does not stand united.
A nation torn by war falls into the agony of defeat.

When the power of Satan is limited by proportion,
it lacks destructiveness.

Forgiveness will be given for many things.
Some things however are not to be forgiven.
Genocide is not forgivable.

Murder has to be corrected.
Restitution has to be made
for the life that was taken.
Other crimes have
to be corrected
with proportion.

Forgiveness can be given
for offenses that are forgivable.
It can be given when requested.
It can be given with restitution.

Who is my partner?
Who is my spouse?
Who is my family?
Whoever does the will of God is.
We are with LEADERSHIP.

We are one.

Others,

Thomas Jefferson cut the miracle stories out of the bible. He did so to emphasize the moral teachings of Jesus. The end result is called the Jefferson Bible. It was a form of modernization since the miracle stories were included to imply the healing strength of the Son of God title as applied to Jesus. The stories were created at a time when the freedoms of speech, religion and media expression were not included in a bill of rights for empire.

Jefferson’s product can be called a “Cut and Paste” bible. The "Cut and Paste" bible offers satirical commentary on what many do with scripture despite the ascription of "holiness."

History is as it was. It is as it was whether we acknowledge it or not. History cannot be changed. Knowledge however can be organized thematically to improve upon past performance.

History has to be acknowledged objectively for improvement, but we have to avoid the trap of enslavement to status quo objectivity as the absolute. When we cut out the “bad” parts of history for personal gratification, we lose the baseline for improving on the past.

The bad parts have to be identified as such. Otherwise, the ground for improvement by contrast is lost. Granted, Jefferson and the other political leaders were dedicated to using liberty to form a better union. Slavery however was tolerated. Jefferson was a slave owner. However “enlightened” he may have been, he was still enslaved to slave ownership. 

The English bill of rights had been documented in 1689. Yet the colonies in the US were subjugated to the crown of King George. They had no representation in parliament. They were taxed without representation. They were forced to provide quarters for the troops who were acting as agents for a tyrant. King George was using Christianity as the state religion to solicit uninformed consent. Americans were punished as a group for the rebellion promoted by the sons of liberty.

If leadership in politics is to be accepted based on the status quo for the wealthiest members of the majority (or minority) group, then improvement for society will not be achieved. The people have to be represented by the government in order to achieve progress. The consequence for representation however, is participation. 

We have to have opinions that are based on facts. We have to allow our opinions to change in relation to the discernment of facts in the state of affairs for society. This is the art of political science. Morality is scientific without enslavement to the objectivity of the status quo as an absolute.

We have the right to express opinions; to vote; to religion; to media expression; to due process of law; to freedom from cruel and unusual punishment; to education; to work; to food and water; to shelter; to health care; to term limits for elected officials; to representation for our taxes.

We don’t have the right to promote single party rights as the singular concern for society. The Nazis believed that they had the right to use genocide as a tool for victory. They promoted eugenics as a way for “weeding out” the weak. 

Empires before the Nazis used torture, excessive force, cruelty and genocide as well. Tyrants in general believe that they have the right to use damage and death as instruments for political success. The belief that the metaphysics for destruction has to be used to control people is unacceptable.

The metaphysics for destruction has been associated with the claim to absolute power. Thus, constitutional government with a bill of rights is seen as a way to empower citizens by limiting claims to absolute power. Limiting power then, is an objective in western society.

The international oligarchy has replaced non-constitutional monarchy and dictatorship as the institution that claims absolute power. Their consortium negotiates an unfair advantage, then exploits the advantage for industry profit. Their power needs limitation.

The following re-write celebrates the good of neighborhood in relation to the divine community. The limitation of power will come from grass roots organization.

===================

Monogamy is the basic form for marriage in our society. It is the norm for the household order in the economy. There is an expectation for sex in marriage. What happens when the expectation for sexual relations becomes the problem?

Expectation is a part of agreement. The expectation for sexual relations is reasonable, but disagreement regarding degree of intensity, frequency and speech in relation to sex contributes to complication. When sex fails in marriage, the couple can default to household management. Compatibility is pushed as a basis for forming marital relations in our society should such a default become necessary.
