God v.05

This the core of contention or the beef between people, discord, the deception that God is not Harmonious and Just, the deception that sprung forth a sense of justice that is wrong. God is what is described by harmony and Justice.

In the story of the garden of eden, the snake made eve believe that God was not acting in the best interest of humans. That was the deception.

See if we perceive the world, right and left, high and low, big small, hot cold, light dark, we know that they are orderly and universal. There is harmony in the order of existence, and there's only one Truthful past, harmony in time/interactions. If we perceive fractal patterns, we could comprehend that differences have roots, purposeful variations that are grounded in an alghoritm.

So when we see the world, stop seeing it or try your best not to see it through the glasses of the enemy/satan, but through the glasses of logic and reason, faith, which is that there's a harmony to the persevation of inclinations. There's God. The point of view of zero entropy of things (and it is not even an indication that there's only one perfect way, there could be multiple).

This is what the frustration of the prophets and Jesus was, that we are not faithful enough. If you see the world to be chaotic and pointless. That's the manifestation of evil, that's depression, and you should stop propagating it in reality

I've been there multiple times, but I would want the help of somebody who is not in that mindset. I want more of those people, not less.

Sometimes, the answer to our depression were in expressing it in beauty, even in expressing it. Because there is order in expressions, the Word in letters. Sorry I didn't mean to undermine... Hope you get the point

Proverb 22: 1, Good name is preferred over great riches v.04

I specifically searched for other comparisons about this verse in other parts of the bible. It is what it is, good name is good name, being esteemed is being perceived as nice, preferable. There was something important not to overlook though, that it is Truthful, because it is not just about good name in the eyes of men, but also in the eyes of God. 

So when it comes to God, what can you do on reputation management? He sees everything, just be really good. But when it comes to man I'll give an illustration:

Lets say that there is a community that hates long hairs. You like to wear hats, and you always tucked in your long hair. Everyday you deal with this community to trade and stuff, they didn't know that you have long hair. One day its hot and you took off the hat, then everybody felt betrayed by you and refused to do business with you, even tried to destroy your assets. 

In my opinion there's nothing wrong about wearing a hat, its their fault to assume short hair out of you. But its also like building house on sand rather than on rocks. (To each their own but, each situation is different, temporal things could be translated to long term for a cost or even not). 

-----------------------------

Good names in my opinion is about the sustainability of a business or the legitimacy of a property, maybe more for other people I won't go too far. Its like political stability and not always have to live in a fight or flight mode. Truthful, Objective, Holistic reputation is something other than Subjective reputation, there is such a thing.

So here is my suggestion to that guy, find other people with long hairs but hidden, or even other things that they hate... and reveal them simultaneously. Measure their attention span relative to our numbers, you'd want to evenly distribute the rage so that the least among us could afford at their replenishable parts of their assets. If the least is too small then he/she should be put in a different batch.

Further into Rome 12:2 (lanjutan v.05)

Romans 12:2, KJV: "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." ... Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect."

From bibleref featured in google search (June, 2021)

It is often preached that its about not living like non Christians live. But I just realized that there's the mechanism part in there, "transformed by the renewing of your mind", "prove", "you will learn". OMG! Its exactly the opposite of what was suggested or what I believed was suggested all this time... Its about thinking for yourself.

Basically dia bilang, jangan ikut ikutan. 

(Jangan ikut ikutan cuma karena populer harusnya, tapi pikir sendiri dan perbarui pikiran)

The point of view of the powerful, and the formula of the esteemed, is not superior to the Truth of your daily matters.

Of course don't cross the line beyond your reach, but just being a "sheep" as the way people mocked us to be, is actually not any different.

Following Jesus is about picking up our own cross, not the standardized cross people who couldn't possibly know about us imposed upon us. Why would you be a muscle cell while God made you to be a lipid cell? Why insult lipid cells for not being muscle-like while all have their own purpose.

We would never be a part of the body of Christ if we were not who we are. 

So be who you are, you're not a machine for some pride of a race, or a group who don't even care about who you are individually. When you are who you really are as an individual, then you'll naturally fit with the rest of the body of God... Truthfully, in Christ
