Luke 6:35-36 … Glorifying LOVE (02/10/17)
“All gods glorify insanity” ~ Latin Saying
(Deis omnes insanium laudent)
As far as the elohimic “gods” are concerned (i.e. all incomplete spiritual entities – known by some as “fallen angels”, by others as “demons”, and by the authors of Genesis as “the Elohim;” entities who encourage conflict, demand subservience, and tempt humanity with promises of political power &/or sexual potency), the more typical dysfunctions of aggression-based chaos, tribal warfare, the domination of the weak by the strong, procreating like rabbits, and becoming violent with enemy & sacrifice alike was the “insanity” they glorified – an “insanity” that has bled over into almost every modern day religion and almost every modern day nation-state – an “insanity” that has led to war & oppression & torture & overpopulation & poverty & famine & animal abuse & imminent global mass extinction …
On the other hand, as far as GOD is concerned (Jesus’ “heavenly Father” in the Scriptures – “YHWH” or “Adonai” in the Old Testament), the “insanity” that is lauded is the intentional “lunacy” that is grateful despite tragedy, that Gives when deep in poverty, and that is openly Kind to deadliest of enemies. It is the “lunacy” that believes in the power of reminding others of our common bond – it is the “lunacy” that knows that pure Love never fails.
“But love your enemies, do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Your reward will be great, and you will be Children of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked. Be merciful, then, just as your heavenly Father is merciful.” ~ Jesus (Luke 6:35-36)
Amen … Let it be so.
