***I’m dropping discussion of my personal beliefs on this thread. I consider myself a Christian and care little or nothing what you consider me. This thread is about something else.***

You made this personal in post http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/2373410/posts?page=400#400 when you posted (among others):

I have found this week to be a huge shift in all things about and around me in all relationships. Evil ones no longer have the will to go on. I have a renewal of energy and influx of spirit.

I have made great insights at a class in Divinity School where how I would solve problems by internalizing them and making them my own is an amazing way to heal the mind body and spirit. I used this in cmy career in computers but in retirement have found that the same can be applied but DO NOT TRY TO INTERNALIZE EVIL TO UNDERSTAND IT!

...

I take this forum seriously and consider it part of my teaching ministry. Mocking behavior will be rebuked with a crack over the knuckles, if that’s what you are used to. The Lord has shown me that I can make mincemeat out of a fool and his words. And here, I get to ponder where and when to strike. Shoot your mouth off, expect a nuke.

...

Believe me, if you are acting the fool, best be prepared for humiliation. ***

You made a personal challenge to everyone on this board with these and other words. I suppose that you might consider your last sentence rather prophetic.

Busy day -- just fired my spiritual director who offered no help with a family issue. She accused me of bearing false witness about my seeming irrational behavior. My wife is now my spiritual director. I dislike pastors who tear families apart for control of the soul.

This was my morning meditation: Job 31:7 if my steps have turned from the path, if my heart has been led by my eyes, or if my hands have been defiled, 8 then may others eat what I have sown, and may my crops be uprooted.
