Bertrand Russell

Bertrand Russell | ...IN THE DAYS OF ST. AUGUSTINE AND ST. THOMAS AQUINAS... IF A MAN SAID THAT HE WAS A CHRISTIAN IT WAS KNOWN WHAT HE MEANT. YOU ACCEPTED A WHOLE COLLECTION OF CREEDS WHICH WERE SET OUT WITH GREAT PRECISION, AND EVERY SINGLE SYLLABLE OF THOSE CREEDS YOU BELIEVED WITH THE WHOLE STRENGTH OF YOUR CONVICTIONS. I THINK YOU MUST HAVE AT THE VERY LOWEST THE BELIEF THAT CHRIST WAS, IF NOT DIVINE, AT LEAST THE BEST AND WISEST OF MEN. IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THAT MUCH ABOUT CHRIST, I DO NOT THINK YOU HAVE ANY RIGHT TO CALL YOURSELF A CHRISTIAN. - BERTRAND RUSSELL. | image tagged in bertrand russell | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

. THE SIX LEVELS OF EXISTENCE.

1. BELIEFS; 2. THOUGHTS; 3. WORDS; 4. PHYSICAL ACTIONS; 5. POSTULATES; 6. TOTAL UNDERSTANDING.

[See: THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THOUGHT, by L. Ron Hubbard.]

BELIEF MUST PRECEDE KNOWLEDGE.

. JOHN 8:30-36.

30. As he Spake these Words,
many believed on him.
31. Then Said Jesus to those Jews
which believed on him,

"If ye continue in my Word,
(then) are ye my Disciples indeed;
32. "And ye shall know The Truth,
and The Truth shall make you Free."

33. They answered him,

"We be Abraham's Seed,
and were never in bondage
to any man:
how sayest thou,

'YE SHALL BE MADE FREE?' "

34. Jesus answered them,

"Verily, verily, I Say unto you,

"WHOSOEVER COMMITTETH SIN
IS THE SERVANT OF SIN.
35. 'AND THE SERVANT
ABIDETH NOT
IN THE HOUSE FOR EVER:
BUT THE SON ABIDETH EVER.'

36. "If the Son therefore
hall make you free,
ye shall be free indeed."

Whereas that facetious snark sounds clever, but in Reality, it is not.

I'm John; does that make you Jesus?

I'm Canadian, not American. This is pure so sorry.

I don't know what the moral is. I'm just the moral compass.

Stay on core Horus.
