My Journal

Be it command or by volunteer, (unfortunately the pastor is very unclear about this, as it was perhaps the way she wants it), I have fulfilled both. And am valid to claim I do not go to CCCNY retreats, in general.

I have not conflicted myself, for I have obeyed, if it was commanded; and if it was by volunteer, I've done it out of grace.

What I would deny is fellowship. For there is no fellowship between men and dogs.

If it is by volunteer, surely, I have full right to choose and not be held against any code of conduct.

Saying you are not God, or you are not my father, in reaction to denial of certain instruction from a regular human being, is a prove of rebellion.

Yes, the validity of the statement is undeniably true. However, it is from the terminology used, that a judgment against the person is valid.

If one had responded...why would you want me to do this or that? How is it so? etc. One could have been seeking after the truth earnestly.

If however, one challenges the authority by exclaiming the obvious truth, that the object is neither God nor one's father, one is logically concluding that one's father or even God, has the right to order unreasonably. Ergo, one is saying that God or one's father is unreasonable!

So psychologically,  it can be concluded, that such one has no respect for one's father and even God. The veil has become transparent.

Of course, this argument is has interest only in the speaker of the statement "You are not God", and is not sufficient to judge or be accused of representing the other parties involved.

One does not become a Christian by knowing how to be a Christian; But by believing what one does is according to Christ's teaching, not according to a sinner's way.

As I look into this currency trading business, I learned much of the why of this and that regulations.

Foreign brokers are not allowed to trade with U.S.. Like banks, brokers used to be very localized. But with the global expansion of information communication, a threat has come to nations that cannot share benefit with the rest of the world.

This is not limited to America. When a country and its development are small, the threat is infinitesimally insignificant. But when it has become the hot pot of global attension, humanity is calling that nation to stand trial. After all, with greater power, comes greater responsibility. A country doesn't get big from within itself. America becomes big, because it imports talent.

Therefore, one does not just take, but must give as well. Regardless of regulations and rules and contracts that could legally circumvent the aforesaid problem.

If a country however, only takes and not gives (share benefits), in order just to have all the benefits to itself, to protect the social security of its citizens, an imbalance will irrevocably occur. At which point, social injustice must be committed under legal title.

Therefore, it is no wonder, business owners revoking their citizenship titles in America, just so they could avoid taxation legally. More offshore accounts, emigrations, outsourcing are happening to this nation. In the end, I could only predict, that its Social Security structure, which some have said is a sort of pyramid scheme, will collapse.

Sure, there are those who are proving themselves living in the States unaffected by the aforesaid problems, but has one could easily forecast a bad weather, the greatest harm that could have been done to them, would be non-association from resources they have been importing their benefits from. So they have to wake up, not to cowardly solutions, but to make an impact in history, that by God's will, they are still the salt and light of the world for God, judging social injustice, maintaining a profitable balance not at a national but a global scale. This is not the time to be disconnected and living ignorantly from the rest of the world.
