I have always shocked people. They think because I follow Christ that I will be all high and mighty when in fact, because I follow the true Christ,
HIS Words not yours or my version, all is not as it seems.
As a G-D fearing dude I could easily marry a woman who had been even a crack-head or prostitute, even for twenty years or more. I could marry a woman
thay may have done a really bad thing. It is Christ who taught me this. There is one condition only...
Yes, it is CONDITIONAL love. Would it surprise you if I sai that all love is conditional, that unconditional love is a lie and illusion?
G-D has conditions for love. Christ has conditions of love. He said,
"Don't cast your pearls before swine".
Why did He say that? What was He trying to teach? What was He trying to tell us when He stopped them stoning the adulterous woman; when He made a
Samaritan woman His equal and even bended the rules of His instructions for her; when He let the woman who was a prostitute wash His feet with her
tears and dry them with her hair; when He appeared to Mary when resurrected even before Peter and the others?
I know what he is telling me. He is telling me don't be like the judgmental hypocrites who judge when they are told not to. They preach fire sermons
in His name then add their own dysfunctional rules to cancel out what they quoted from Scripture. If you are like those kind of money grabbing
evangelists I will be an avengelist to you indeed.
Yes, I could marry a former prostitute and the only condition would be loyalty and true love. Her past is not mine to own. In my heart and mind I have
given women the freedom I give to myself. I make only one condition that I also apply to myself.
G-D forgives me for all the mess of my life day to day. I am Laurel and Hardy to HIM; another fine mess. As He forgives me I will always allow people
their freedom to grow and change, to go from error to strength and confidence. Sometimes you just gotta tan a hide or two though to make your
point.
That point is made clear. I will tell you why Jesus appeared to Mary before all the others:
The Serpent of Promethean poisonous fruit came first to Eve. Women started civilization, not men. As we have fallen by that the restored and forgiven
Eve is represented by Mary M. It had to be that way. All had to be accounted for with complete accuracy.
One positive thing is that women are allowed to be themselves now. It is going to be a bit messy for a while, obviously, as they must learn the hard
way by hard won experince, action and consequences to become a free woman, not the chained women of the past. That is what men have to do too. I have
freed you. I am glad. I would hate to be anyone's jailer. That would keep me in a psychological jail too. It did do and now I am free too. I can marry
anyone I like as a follower of Christ. He will even let me marry a Muslim. Cool eh!
The condition is love. Any past path can be wiped clean by it. Any diversity of identity is welcomed by it. It is as universal as the Universe that
G-D made.
