The above scripture shows without doubt that the Bible was written by MAN , but what we sometimes doubt is its Intention.
It is my understanding that Christ was adamant that the message was far more important than the messenger. When the Dragon spoke to Hermes it was not turned into an idol of worship for the many but rather made into an instrument of fear , the Dragon is now interpreted in lore as a being of great power.
In the Old Testament God was vengeful... was he not ? Ezekiel 25:17 made famous by the movie Pulp Fiction , an amazingly beautiful interpretation. This was written to show that when one is evil towards the sheppard that god will ultimately seek vengance unless one seeks an eye for an eye which is also in the old testament.
my interpretation of this is that there must be an instrument of law to watch over those who stray from the good path.
While some of us feel that love is the most powerful force in the universe , I believe that forgiveness is far more powerful and ultimately most selfless.
In my experiences when one forgives they hand over the handling of karma for that event, up to the god's.
when one holds the grudge they anchor it down into this realm and god cannot act until the event is forgiven. Why do you think our rulers flaunt evil every day ?
Because they have found the loop , or in the way of the Universal Architect the swing of the pendulum.
this does not say not to act , but if you hold a grudge either enact the karma or let it go and forgive. Evil is the embodyment of limbo and evil is good at keeping us in there. Whatever you think should be done with a pure heart , then do it. Or forever hold your peace.
It is not that we dont listen or know , ... every being in the universe knows good from evil , its the interpretation of these that is confused. And when we confuse black and white ... everything becomes gray ...
Be who you are
Let it Be
Do what you want but know there is always without fail, Judgement.
