Entangled in words

Language and semantics it seems confront each other when matters of understanding the truth is concerned for when the truth is expressed, its meaning is promptly manipulated and distorted so that it remains hidden behind the benefits of denying it.

Christ was very clear in His predicating of the truth. If you want to safe yourself you must deny yourself take your cross and follow Him.
Under this premise, denying oneself is not denying one’s humanity, dignity, individuality or identity, but to transform deeds from serving the self onto serving others, loving God above anything and everything and our neighbors as ourselves, transforming selfishness onto selflessness.
The truth however clear it might present before us, when we refuse to deny ourselves and chose instead to confront it and reject it in favor of serving our egotistical goals and objectives, we are only allowing ourselves to sink in destruction, denying our humanity.
When we address the alternatives or choices we have and try to describe an ideal of society we tend to fall into the depth of a pit full of controversies and soon become exposed to confrontation, because the main issue, the point and focus of the address is purposely or not, to be diluted into the uncertainty of a sense of a conclusion relative to the subject and not inspired in the absolute truth.
We are all individuals, thinking and breathing and eating and bound by all the weaknesses and limitations each and every human being carries but we also have the same virtues, gifts, dignity, identity and individuality that while maintaining us unique to each other, also make us all equal before and under God our creator and His Holy Trinity; Father, Son and Holy Spirit because from Him we come and before Him will have to be for eternal justice.
Social nature is in humans because of our relationship with God, because we are created to love. It is in our nature to care for our neighbor and to respect each other and to dutifully fight for the dignity and freedom of everyone.
This social nature is tightly attached to our individuality as it must be grown from each and everyone and not imposed upon anyone. This is the difference between society and slavery. As social gathering contain several interpretations and forms, so does slavery being the worst one that of the soul.
The soul is what establishes and defines the distinction between us and the rest of the creation.
Any form of slavery that simply and exclusively implies physical bonding cannot be comparable against any apparent freedom exercised when the soul is kept hostage slave of our own desires, tastes, pleasures, styles, materialism, hate, revenge, and the list goes long. Clearly, slavery of the body can most definitively and will tend to the slavery of the soul because it will deny that requisite of humanity that makes us unique in creation.
Freedom is undoubtedly relative to the freedom other have whatever is our social scheme and that implies a level of responsibility for our actions and thereby accountability.
Society therefore establishes rules and controls that help people on identifying those boundaries that will assist them on keeping them on stepping on each other freedoms and the only parameter available to achieve that goal is to look at what God has already set for us as His Ten Commandments, which Jesus compressed onto two huge ones; to love God over and above everything and anything and to our neighbors as ourselves.
Any law that deviates form that premise trying to serve other god purposely manufactured for the benefit of one or some, is not only worshiping false death gods but it is also fostering the slavery of the soul of the people under its government.
The main reason behind the law on any society is to protect life and freedom, life because it is God’s creation and it is our duty to take good care of it and freedom because is a gift of God from creation and it is in our nature.
Any other objective of the law that dismisses or ignores the protection of life and freedom, becomes then a vehicle of slavery as it attempts to impose upon many the weaknesses of the few trying to profit from their position.
Kings, presidents, members of parliaments, congressmen and women, senators, etc. and for that matter, the smallest of the smaller, whatever it might be the role played, everyone is bound by the same accountability to God our creator.

Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples

Gospel text ( L uke 11,1-4): One day Jesus was praying in a certain place and when He had finished, one of his disciples said to him, «Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples». And Jesus said to them, «When you pray, say this: Father, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come, give us each day the kind of bread we need, and forgive us our sins, for we also for-give all who do us wrong, and do not bring us to the test»

Money

Is money the ultimate goal, the end of all means? Nowadays, it seems, everything is not just measured in terms of money, but everything needs to be, has to be, in terms of money. Money is set as the goal, over anything. Money is meant to be just a media for exchange of goods and services, not a goal on itself, yet our society has corrupted onto making of money a statement beyond life, family, marriage and most definitively above love and truth. Such a philosophy has degraded our souls to the point of denying everything that is in conflict with the value of money. Even when charity is concerned, it seems mercy can only be measured in monetary terms, as if charity could be measured by anyone except God alone. If there is crusade or cause to be enrolled, the only acceptable way has been institutionalized as the amount of money it can be contributed, regardless of the individual efforts that could be applied or spent.

A matter of life or death

Maybe I am the only one in Ontario, ‘experiencing’ a confrontation with the 407ETR corporation, or maybe not. So far it seems the fact is that I am not, that many out there are subjected to billing from the corporation. No, I am not saying unfair, discriminatory or any of the kind, but I am going to say, unsupported and unsubstantiated. The issue of the matter is that the corporation, for some presumably important reason, is blessed by the province of Ontario to have the ability to stop the licensing of any individual who fail to pay the corporation anything they ask for even if they apparently, are not able to support with facts what they claim.
