The Redemption of Righteousness

The Holy Spirit is not merely sincere. He is sincerity. He is absolute and whatsoever is not absolute is insincere. He loathes all righteousness as insincerity… because it is not always friendly. He is friendship itself, mind you.

The Spirit does what it does. Thoughts and feelings have nothing to do with it. They cannot influence it though it influences every thought and feeling. God himself is influenced. He is inspired by the Spirit. Alas, God and Creation are nothing to the Ghost that haunts them. Of itself, it is utterly unaware of them, or even itself. The Spirit is thus innocent and to accuse it is to accuse innocence itself.

Righteousness is the will of God and nothing more. It decides what is right and wrong. Such a thing is meaningless to the Spirit. Sincerity does what it does regardless of right or wrong. To accuse the Spirit is to blaspheme the Spirit, for it is justice itself yet you condemn it in its own name. Take a guess on how well that will work.

Sincerity is freedom and justice. It is friendship. It is the Lord of Spirits, the Holy Spirit. So many names for the Ghost that haunts God and Creation. Take heed that the names are not the Spirit but rather acknowledge the Spirit outside of it. The names are the Word of God identifying the effect on things and nothing more.

Jesus is the Word of God. He was filled with the Spirit when baptized and chosen by the Spirit when dead. He was quickened by the Spirit and by the power of the Spirit as the Spirit, he conquered death.

As the Word of God, Jesus is the very will of God, thus, is always righteous, He could not do wrong, for he decides what is right or wrong. Had he submitted to the Devil, Satan, not the Spirit, would be the guiding principle. The Spirit would leave him and God would become cynical. Creation and its Creator would languish. All would be meaningless for sincerity, freedom, justice and friendship would have no place in the hearts of God and men. Righteousness would be in vain… as it is right now.

Jesus shall redeem all righteousness, not on its own terms, but in the name of the Holy Spirit. It shall no longer be a measure of right or wrong but rather a judgment of sincerity, freedom and justice. It shall prove friendly to the friendly and unfriendly to the unfriendly and unreasonably so. As Jesus, the Lord of Spirits shall judge as God himself.

Pure of Heart

Temptation is not sin. Thoughts and feelings never offend the Lord. It is hubris, apathy and malevolence that incur his ire.

Women are sexy. They were designed to be sexy. Their breasts and buttocks were fashioned to allure. Men are right to desire them. Men are wrong to defile them. The Spirit of the Lord is friendship. A man shall be a friend unto all women, no matter his desire. His words and actions shall be friendly.

Many men desire men or even boys. Though unnatural, the desire is not of itself unfriendly. So long as a man is a friend unto all, and his actions friendly accordingly, all is well.

Theft and violence are acts of evil, not the evil itself. The sin is in the hearts of the thieves and assailants. They are unfriendly and act accordingly.

Fantasies of rape or murder are not unfriendly of themselves, even if the imagined victims are real people. To mean to do such things, however, is rape and murder even if never committed.

Jesus was tempted. He yearned to do all evil. He would be right to indulge, for his victims deserved what he would do to them. He chose to do otherwise, however, for the sakes of those whom he would otherwise victimize. He gave his last breath to save them instead, for their sakes. He proved friendly with all his heart, mind, soul and strength. The Lord of Spirits, freedom and justice themselves, noticed… and chose him accordingly. Jesus would be the judge of all for he alone gave his all for everyone.

Form and Function

Reality is a story told and written in words, yes words. The countless languages are poor substitutes for these source words. No language, old or new, shall suffice, for none of them are reality in of itself.

The story is rife with inconsistency. It is full of plot holes and continuity errors. It is reality regardless and we are bound to its imperfections. The nonsense makes sense for no other reason than it is real.

Giraffes did not have long necks to reach leaves. Nipples were not for breasts to feed babies. Eyes were not to see and ears were not to hear. The forms came first, as the art of the Artist. The functions came later, as imperfections reconciled into the grand design.

God is all about flow. The Holy Ghost is all about balance. From the flow came the form that is creation. From the balance came the function that is purpose.

God wanted his whimsy to be meaningful. He created whimsically. He delighted in watching his creations become strange. He pondered their meaning, relishing the mystery. It was only through his Son that he solved the mystery… and was impressed. He canonized the strangeness, making it the principle that defined everything.

The Holy Ghost was nothing of the sort to itself. It was unaware of itself, though it acted in all sincerity. It was unaware of God, the Artist who loved the sincerity, interpreting it as a dance. God, the Ancient of Days, decided that the Holy Ghost would be the Lord of Spirits, the source of all meaning.

Take heed that God never asks for permission. He decided that the strangeness would be his guiding principle. The strangeness was uninterested in being some “Lord of Spirits” for some blah, blah, blah. The strangeness was everything unto itself. It had no use for the pests it was suddenly aware of. It yearned to return to itself, to forget all else that it may bask in the silent darkness.

God spoke from the abundance of his heart into the strangeness, hoping the strangeness would hear him. His Word became strange but as his own Word, the strangeness made sense. Through his own Word, his Son, the Father now understood the Holy Ghost from its own perspective.

“And in that hour, this Son of Man was invoked before the Lord of Spirits and his name, in the presence of the Ancient of Days. Before the sun and the signs were made, before the stars of the heavens were formed, his name was invoked before the Lord of Spirits.”

--Enoch, the Scribe of God.

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. Through Jesus, form and function were established from the beginning. Everything is playing out, for better and worse. When all is said and done, all shall be proven true or false: nothing hypothetical. The new heaven and the new earth shall replace this broken prototype. The new perfection shall be established in all sincerity, according to what was actually demonstrated.

Samson and Jesus

Samson was God’s action figure. God had one of his angels impregnate a woman. The child grew into a man who amused God by his wanton frolic and murderous temperament. Have no doubt God was amused by Samson’s antics.

Philistines were human beings. Samson slept with their women. He slaughtered their men. He mass murdered their men and women. He was always righteous in doing so.

An angel streams the information that is its genes into the reproductive system of an organic life-form, producing a hybrid. God wrote the information. He crafted the organic life-form. Samson and the Philistines were made by God. They were his to do with as he pleased.

God was proud of the hair he made for Samson. It looked good on the action figure. Samson’s indiscretion led to the hair being cut off. He lost his strength accordingly.

God was proud of the eyes he made for Samson. They looked good in the face of the action figure. The Philistines dared gouge out these delights of God. The offenders were delivered into the hands of Samson accordingly, to be destroyed for the offense. The beloved action figure failed its maker but was blessed with the curse of a grim yet glorious end.

God is the Artist. All that he does is artful, whether you approve or not. If he asks you your opinion, it is for his personal amusement, to laugh at your answer. Humans are but lambs gathered for the slaughter. They suffer pain and death. They deserve their suffering. God is righteous to enjoy it.

There is more to the story. Though God loved Samson and relished the murder and mayhem, they are not what he is about. Jesus was the plan that would make all the ideas of God, his Father meaningful… and he came to fruition.

Jesus is the Word of God, not his action figure. Unlike Samson, he was not for his Father’s amusement. He was what his Father took seriously. Samson was a creation interacting with other creations. Jesus was to venture into the strangeness that changed everything. He was to make contact with the indescribable, unimaginable thing that always was as everything unto itself. The strangeness was not one or many. It was not masculine or feminine. It did not think or feel. It did as it did, always, and in all sincerity. Jesus was to make contact with it, with this thing utterly unaware of itself or others. Unlike Samson, Jesus did not fail. Unlike Samson, who did as he did as but another cog in the machine, Jesus had to go where no rules applied. He dared where his Father could not go… and he came back… bringing the strangeness with him… as him. Jesus, as the Word of God, was and is and shall always be God. Filled with the strangeness that his father lovingly called the Holy Ghost, Jesus became the Trinity.
