Our perception of our loving, Heavenly Father being some great, fiery dragon, or angry pharaoh “in heaven” (thus, "separate from us") has been projected into our hearts (or minds) by our hearing of the Law, or the dead letter of scripture. But The Gospel is not the preaching of the dead letter of scripture; neither is it, “living by what the Bible says,” or “doing what the Bible says”. Yet, if we think these things are synonymous with “The Gospel”; then by default, they will give rise unto a pretentious, condescending, narcissistic ego (the Beast); an ego which demands to be soothed, comforted, consoled, coddled, placated or pacified over its disappointment of not achieving some expected reward or affirmation from men, for a vain, outward or external performance (or obedience) in the eyes of men… an ego which also happens to feel that it deserves to be praised, recognized, validated, affirmed, approved, “honored” by those same men for its vain, outward or external performance (or obedience) in the eyes of those men! Have we not learned, yet, that a little leaven… just a little bit of the Law… leavens (or puffs up) the whole lump? Turns us into proud, arrogant, conceited assholes?? Why? “Well, God has said so… has said this, that, and the other thing… and I have done it, am doing it! Therefore, I will be rewarded and everyone else who hasn’t done, as I have done or I’m doing, shall be punished…” Ah, wounded ego… is what most of us are suffering from today. It is a deadly wound, because it sucks all of the life, peace, joy and fun, out of everything and everyone; reducing this life, and our quality of life to nothing more than some endless, vainglorious competition between adversaries (satanists)…
