Despite bringing up 说文 as the oldest source to debunk many "Christianization of" Chinese characters, some would say, well doesn't matter where it comes from but it seems to work with the Christianization of those characters, but that's just Uzzah's ministry once again isn't it? Some would even want to say, well, you might never know, that 说文 "could" be wrong! But that's only begging the question. I could easily say, oh I know...get this, Do you know that God's name, YHWH, was actually planted in everyone's lips? When most of us got shocked or accidentally bumped into, we are likely to exclaim...YAWWAH!! It's actually God name we're calling!!!
Woke up today, thought about back when I was in Arkansas, some are truly caring (usually the older generation) some merely have the appearance of loving.
I think the bad Western Christian influence is, treating pity as love. The line is blurred.
Pity would not last; love does.
Pity is not truly self-sacrificial; love is.
Pity is always looking down ultimately; love never.
There are more pity confused as love than there are love mistaken as pity.
I also thought about my wife and her brother. I think there was a case where love may have been treated as pity, love I say, because is more prominent within a family than pity, but if it truly was love, then the only excuse to treat it as pity is pride. The pride so great that one does not even truly see the love of a family member, or worst, does not see one as a family member.
How to distinguish love from pity, especially one that is outside of family bound? One way, the best way, against Ameristians (or Western influenced Christians) is when you see the initiative care is given where there's no need for such care. The stronger the insistence of such care, the better to stay away from such. True, they may use excuses that this is "FOR THE LORD", but that can easily be discerned. If it is truly for the Lord, it is for the church, not for friendship or some other non-church related matter. If it is truly for the church, then it is a little better, but perhaps discernment of true motive in that one would take more time, but it is minor, so I wouldn't bother about it too much, because in the end, no matter it was done in pity or not, God be praised.
Back to the topic of Uzzah, it is rather interesting. I came to an irrefutable conclusion of Laura Lin's servitude being similar to that of Bill Gothard, which is the Uzzah's servitude. Now, they may say, knowing Lin, I bet she would say: "But the ark was supported because of Uzzah, regardless, wasn't it?" My best response would be: "Therefore, we must never replace that ark, let Uzzah be replaced, let the same ark be carried by proper means, but never stand beside Uzzah."
