Re: [TruthTalk] Fw: CLUELESS IN D.C.

don't kid anybody, you're trackin' fine--but like others, inc my extended/family, you're having a hard time dealing with the implications of my political critiques   it's ok, i'm used to it--at least you asked an intelligent question, made an intelligent observation, below   so, I'll tell you: the kingdom of God is a unique spiritual state, Iz--as JC taught, it's present in him, emerging unseen, unnoticed, like a 1000 year oak tree from a tiny seed   it's like a small amount of leaven placed in the dough of the world--pretty soon the dough will rise to bakable (tasty:) proportions   however, the KoG is also future--radically; it will come apocalyptically as promised   though it is present in the ministry, message, person, and works, partic in the miracles of JC, the KoG is yet to come, when he returns   JCs followers live betw these times--already saved from the fate of the world in the present age yet to be saved from destruction like Noah in the age to come   this means the KoG is real acc to the NT, but rejected for its value, partic given its terms of trade, in most of the world   followers of JC are not devout common sense republicans, or 'idiot' democrats:) but those who dwell in KoG now--by choice/committment; in fact, like in one of the stories JC told, a guy like me, who, lookin' for a real new deal finds a diamond in the rough, would be wise to sell off all his holdings/investments to generate the cash to buy that 'rough' open field overlooked by the 'developers':)   if i see what this means in the context of JCs teaching, this is what i should do   the fact that i'd own this field is very costly now, but very wise in biblical terms in the long (ultimate) run   it's not the same as buyin' stock in Israel <rof>  or in Deseret Corp. <x666!>   it's bein' in committed possession of a unique, conflicting spiritual reality that i buy into myself at any cost, that few else inc even many of my family care about....yet:)   the reason/s they don't care are evident in the NT where many people JC encountered were preoccupied with (e.g.) trivial politics of kingdoms based in systems of thought which the KoG will consume, destroy as he and the Prophets foretell, eg.:   'I will destroy this temple (which was constructed of, e.g., 20 ton squares of granite over a 40 year period) and rebuild it 3 days', JC communicates   Interestingly, this is the main piece of 'evidence' supplied hatefully by his political accusers at his 'trial' in Jerusalem--the City of David   If that's what Jerusalem (still) thinks, what makes you think Denver New York or Washington is gonna do different? Which of GWBs advisors is gonna counsell him to sell off everything it takes to buy a field no one wants, then lead his party to victory acc to the NT? I suspect Condolleeza Rice would get laughed right offa 'Face the Nation'...e.g., check out Prov 23:1-9   On Sun, 15 Jun 2003 16:36:56 -0500 "ShieldsFamily" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: gary, I’m having a hard time following you…are you saying that Jesus, Paul and the NT teach against my politics?
