you know nothing of me, nor of my journey.

You have posted several long posts describing much of what you deny that I know.

Did you read your posts, I did?

Me: "Our own works (and rituals etc etc) are nothing but filthy rags to God."

You: I shall never believe that.

It's in the Bible, but maybe Tradition trumps the Bible in this area.

King James Bible, Isaiah 64:6
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
Again my quote: "Our own works (and rituals etc etc) are nothing but filthy rags to God."

Mat 23:27, 28

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

Very similar to what is happening today.

That last comment is an aspersion on my integrity, which you have neither reason nor right to make. I resent it, and will not tolerate it further: please be advised; I will report it as abuse if you do so again.

As for the remainder, you're entitled to your opinion. Think of me as you will, my friend. My relationship with my God is between Him and me- and He knows my soul much better than I do. In the final analysis, It is He Who makes the decision.

What is shared of my spiritual life, in forum, or my homepage is what I choose to disclose. It is but a tip of the iceberg. Do you have the courage to speak of your own journey, or are you simply here to point a finger at others?

In answer to your question, yes, I do read my own posts.
Do you read the Letter of St. James?

Whatever your opinion,
G-d ♡ bless you!
