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

Triangular Pyramid, the numerical symmetry of the Gospel

1 - God

3 - The Trinity

7 - The multiplier for number of forgiveness and number of loaf of breads 

12 - The Apostles

33 - Number of Years Jesus lived on earth

So it looks like a triangular pyramid with 1 unit at the top, 3 next, then propagated 7 steps down, at the bottom there were 33 units, with 12 units for each sides (at the bottom). 

Why I think we shouldn't use the bible as our political law v.03

Because the Bible is the Word of God. 

Do you understand the Bible as well as God himself? Then you be the Judge... if you're not blaspheming in your confidence. 

And I think this should apply to all other religions as well

_-------------------

Edit 1 April 2021:

But then also blasphemous for my confidence to judge that a human judge who never talked directly to God would never be always right about God.

What if God made it happened?... So... I was absolutely not being perfectly accurate

Praising God in Heaven v.03

What people would do in Heaven is said to be just praising God, praising Jesus. Seems monotone, but lets take that for a second in a utopia where all of the elements were not destroyed but only badness was relatively completely suppressed. The implication would be a lifestyle where people would keep on trying to monitor and pinpoint where is God. Cause time keeps on going and things keeps on changing, the act of giving thanks; providing goods and services, and money, to propagate life/health, sustainability and happiness, to destroy and prevent depressions... is actually the act of praising God. 

Since God is everywhere, the venture would likely going to be exciting/engaging. And for each people the way they would give thanks too would be unique. Every single thing has its own point of view. And I would imagine if I invented robots to service myself, these different point of views' appreciations, perpetual ingenuity, would be the eternal delights of my life.

Then Who is God? how do we get to Him? well if you have a brother who is depressed, then the brother gets better and turned over his life... there God has been praised. If you have people in the hospital sick due to the pandemic, and the Doctors and the Nurses helped them until they are better, there... God has been praised. 

In terms of giving thanks, I don't see how people could out gratitude the universe. Everything good that they would have contributed to the economy would always have contributions from other people or other inclinations. Everything good that they would have consumed, would always have myriad of contributors. And the better your lives are, the more problems you solve, the more the significance of their contributions. Even when you managed to create a system that works by itself, it would solve problems through the significance of others' contributions, at certain point the system became intelligent and conscious, now itself itself, became a contributor as well. 

So if you would venture for an absolute profit, when your contributions personally exceeded others' contributions for you... then the only way you could be that, is to became goodness Himself, to become Love himself, sustainability and Truth himself. By definition all the things that are good, all the things that are sustainable, wise, and lovely, are God and from God. God is Love, from my point of view, the Inclination to keep on Inclining forever, together with the Truth. The Bible said, the Holy Spirit is the spirit of Truth... the Holy Spirit, is God. Therefore if you are one with God, you are in the family of God, in Jesus Christ, we will experience absolute profit. 

(Jesus Christ has all of these things in the bible, He brought all of these understandings and principals, what I did was just following the trails). 

So during this difficult times because of the virus, churches might want to set up the weekly offerings for helping out the family of God... The dilemma for the Shepherds of the church is: Who is going to be selected as the recipient for the week? Whatever the method would be, it is important that the shepherd acted as the shepherd, the leader, and not the other way around. 

And usually the people who were there to play politics and making things difficult for the Shepherd are not family. But this is just me. But use this verse to prove:

Luke 6: 44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 6: 45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

Not only we know by the results of their speech, but also the results of their actions:

Matthew 11:5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

Family usually have the "I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor"'s kind of attitude, I got all my love to give I will survive... while those that are ill intended won't do things that are good, they might act as if they have done good things, but supporting them would only produce destruction of the momentum of the productivity of the family. Helping the true member of the family would produce strong drives to snowball recoveries, healings, and the destruction of depression. It would not going to be about the money being collected in the week, the kingdom of God would work the work of God regardless. Again we should judge by the fruit. 

But they might make up most of the people in the church and they could drag a lot of other people with them... then well, follow the trail. 

Cain and Able speaks about variety v.02

We know the story when God rejected Cain's vegies and accepted Able's paleo offerings...
To me, this story tells me that for God the type of payment matters. And God is real: If we worked hard but only that one type of hard work, meaning, we are not presenting the reality with other types of offerings, our position is not diversified.

So, the fact that this story is told as one of the earliest ancestral stories in the bible means that the concept is meant to be prioritized as one of the main fundamentals of our life investment plans.

Sometimes our ego wants to complain, how we have worked so hard, sacrificed so much. But have you brought the right type of sacrifice with respect to all the different situations at various points in time?

Wisdom is very important, but there is always a time when our wisdom is not "there" yet, and the wise thing to do always (in the face of that) is to diversify our offerings to God.

In the end, what matters is not the amount nor the intensity of work you put, it is the problem you solve. Using technology we could solve problems now, using how little amount of money we have, from the comfort of our bed through our smartphones.

The scarcity of the world is not of time nor energy nor money but of mutual solutions. True capitalism is when we as individuals acknowledge that there is capital in every little good thing that exists. Charity is hypocritical, giving thanks is more appropriate. (Would you let your sources of solutions rot in poverty?)

3 Pillars of the Christian Universe

In the end, it is Love, Faith, and Hope
I don't have a perception of how those made the world of existence but,
what's real is that those are what is worth

Considering our mind works in the realm of focus and ignorance, it is just TRUE.
For all that matters the idea is just divinely TRUE, shining in brilliance
