A Clear Choice.

There is a clear choice between the mentality of the Beast and the mentality of the Kingdom of God.

The mentality of the Beast endorses violence, intimidation, force, lies, hate, hell, and evil.

The mentality of the Kingdom of God endorses non-violence, tolerance, respect, truth, love, heaven, and good.

The Beast represents ego and brutality.

The Kingdom of God represents humility and harmlessness.

The way of the Beast is the way of excess.

The way of the Kingdom of God is the way of moderation.

The Beast encourages vice and sin.

The Kingdom of God encourages the Beatitudes. (Matthew 5:3-12)

So there is a clear choice.

Make your choice.

Fear of Homosexuality.

What is behind the persecution of gay and lesbian people is fear.

People are still in the grip of an irrational fear of homosexuality.

Despite the fact that AIDS is virtually cured and the fear that AIDS is punishment from God for homosexuality is disproved, people still cling to their fears.

So look at your attitude to homosexuality and ask yourself: What am I afraid of? 

Because there is nothing to fear from homosexuality.

And there is nothing to fear from God.

After the Beast.

The Beast is materialistic, self-seeking, and shallow.

But it is also obsessed with power and control.

And it uses violence, intimidation, and force to achieve its ends.

But the Beast is not a thing or a being.

It is people.

People who embrace the mentality of the Beast.

But the time of the Beast is limited.

And there will come a time that is after the Beast.

This is a time when society returns to ideals and principles - to mercy, tolerance, and justice.

So we must endure the excesses of the Beast and look forward to a time when sanity returns.

Winners and Losers.

Winners and losers.

Rich and poor.

Success and failure.

Power and slave.

These things dominate our world.

And people will use violence, hatred, and evil to win.

But at the root of this is fear.

Fear of losing and being humiliated, fear of poverty and starvation, fear of being called a loser.

But God is with the least and the last.   

He is not with the winners of this world.

He is with the poor, the meek, the failures, the powerless, the slaves.

So do not think you have to win to gain God's blessing.

God loves all His children.

And do not think you have to be tough and hard to survive in this world.

God loves a tender heart.

A heart full of compassion. mercy, and love.

AIDS.

AIDS was caused by a virus.

It was not punishment from God.

The only guilt of the Gay Community was that promiscuity is a health risk.

And promiscuity was the result of Satanism in the popular culture.

Satanism sells sex and drugs and rock and roll.

And this is the source of promiscuity.

So Moderation is the solution to these problems.

If we practise Moderation there should be no further problems in relation to homosexuality.

Because AIDS was caused by a virus.

It was not punishment from God.

Evil.

Evil is an idea.

It is the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

If Adam and Eve had not eaten the fruit they would never have thought that evil existed.

Because there is only one supernatural power and that is God.

And God is wholly good.

Ideas of evil based on Dualism have no substance in reality.

Satanism is based on a lie.

And those who worship Satan are sorely mistaken.

But that does not mean that there is no evil in our world.

There is sin caused by error and fear.

And there is evil caused by blaming God for suffering and turning out of hatred to an assumed opposite - Evil.

But if we didn't have the knowledge of good and evil we could not turn to evil.

So the knowledge of good and evil is the original sin.

Because evil only exists in the minds of humans.

There is no evil in Reality.

Because there is no evil in God.

Gay Church.

I am an openly gay man and I go to church.

Not because church is perfect but because I want to show church people that gay men can be spiritual people and that gay men are OK with God.

I am a member of the Uniting Church in Australia.

And their policy is that gay people can be ordained as minsters and gay couples can be married in their churches.

So officially I am OK.

But I still encounter pockets of entrenched prejudice and a general apathy towards gay rights.

I don't get much sympathy from the parishioners.

There is more resonance with some ministers.

But not all.

And so the fight goes on.

My spirit is undaunted.

And my prayers will be answered.
