As the treasurer in your Church you may have forgotten the words of
Isaiah the Prophet:
"""...and all our righteousness--our best deeds of rightness and
justice--are as filthy rags or a polluted garment..."""___Amplified
Bible, Isaiah 64.6. ----
"""and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags;..."""___NIV, Isaiah
64.6.
I know -- some lack a profession of belief here -- but TRUTH does
Not depend upon Belief to be True!!!!!!!
The word translated into *Rags* is *Menstrual__Rags* in the original
Hebrew -- so the *Righteousness* of *ALL* individuals is like the
Refuse of the Body -- That is:::::::
Absolutely Everyone who HAS lived on the face of the
earth,
Absolutely Everyone who IS living on the face of the
earth,
Absolutely Everyone who SHALL live on the face of the
earth --
Regardless of Where on the Face of this earth --
Europe, Asia, North America, South America,
Australia, North, South, East, West --
Save___One
Has Righteousness only as good as Filthy Menstrual-Rags
This includes Absolutely Everyone on this email list
-- Without Exception. This is true of the World, of the Universe,
of ALL creation -- it is hardly unique to Pittsburgh. The
Reality Is that it is Natural To Perform Evil -- it takes real work to
do good -- an horrendous amount of work to do good.
Another Reality from the above quote is that this Applies to the
*Individual* and the *Individual* carries the Filthy Rags forward
into the Profession and Title that is somehow attached to the name
-- we don't need that title to have righteousness of filthy rags.
It is the *Individual* that makes the Title // Profession Dirty --
NOT the other way around. '''Why do you look at the speck of
sawdust in your brother's eye and pay not attention to the plank in your
own eye?'''___MT-7.3__NIV The inference here is that there is far
more garbage in the life of the individual than what the individual will
ever see in the lives of others!
Maybe the original post was from utter astonishment at what was
happening but the thread has taken on a negative tone since. In
the quote above, ALL of us as individuals stand on the same plane in
the cesspool of life. Recognizing weaknesses in someone else
doesn't change our standing on this plane (although that Is the
Inference -- elevation of self) -- it just pushes someone else's
face further into the cesspool -- and our own as well for to
disparage someone else is to disparage self. So much for human
helping human in this world -- window dressing!
Edification -- Big Biblical Theme -- doing things to build others
UP -- regardless of who the others are. Each of us is the same
as the next person -- standing on The Very Same Plane in a cesspool
-- That Is A Given -- We Don't Need To Point That Out!!!!!!!
Now that the playing field is leveled, why not turn this around and work
hard on the email list to avoid this type of finger pointing -- each
and every one of us? While off topic happens on occasion, the list
is primarily about TrolleyCars of JTC, PRCo, and West Penn // Mon-West
Penn and other small companies in the vicinity. And while these
companies were made up of individuals who are in the same cess pool as
us and capable of evil, and while many may have disliked the railways,
the Railways and TrolleyCars NeverTheLess Existed and I wish to
celebrate that Existence through photos, info about the equipment,
infrastructure, stories, etc.
Outside the list -- get another job, part time job, volunteer --
each of us have Gift(s) of some sort that can be invested in others
for their encouragement. Idle hands are the Devil's Workshop.
We are not to compare ourselves one to another since each of us is on
the same playing field and as low as we can ever go on the plane of the
cesspool of life, B--U--T We Compare *Ourselves* To Who
*Self* Could Be and work toward that end.
With ThanksGiving this week here in the U.S.A. why not remember and
Give Thanks for the Blessings we Enjoy ---- and as we look forward
to ChristMass, Which Can Be Summed Up In The One Word
''''GIVING,'''' why not take these Thankful Blessings and turn them
into a Gift invested in someone else????!!!!
