"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth... And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily… Watch ye, stand fast...be strong."
II Timothy 2:15 / Colossians 3:23 / I Corinthians 16:13
Thus at end of this post the second line and mantra if you will, appended to the first. And so went this morning's writing session (draft/unedited) for my next book...
"The sole counter and corrective action for both the religious and nonreligious alike; to bolster one’s moral fortitude by the empirical, logical and ethical studying then understanding towards consistently regarding the Singular Human Right to Consent or Dissent on all matters, inseparably of course, constantly respecting the Peculiar Human Ability to Reason. By such understanding, Covetousness is not forever slain but starved (that is say, Covetousness ever-present, merely varying in strength at any given moment)...
This poet is not suggesting a substitute to historically contended theology regarding confession, redemption and perpetuation thereafter, rather the common grace and good upon 'rightly dividing' therefore empirically, logically and ethically understanding. With that said, it is noteworthy to recognize the common struggle and strain to discern and determine it, even the common reluctance and resistance to accept and apply it. It is also noteworthy to plainly compare the religious with the nonreligious, either seemingly struggle as well resist as much as the other, for both covet and lust their favored outcomes, mustering conjured justification for their preferred form and use of political fraud and force."
Peace is always a Choice. Peace is always a Choice.
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.
Saint Jerome Writing by Caravaggio (1571-1610)
