Gopi:
But what if a saint boarded your bus and was offering out tickets to a different heavenly chariot-ride?
JJ:
Then he's not a saint but a man with a screw loose.
Gopi:
What if the Christ boarded the bus and indicated the correct train station where the express train leaving for a one-way trip to paradise was about to disembark?
JJ:
Then he is barging in on other peoples space and should be thrown off.
Christ said "behold, I stand at the door and knock." He didn't say he was going to burst through the door and force his views on us.
Gopi:
Would you judge him also in favour of your idea of sovereignty?
JJ:
Yes. To go by any outward authority over the spirit within is to receive the mark of the beast.
Gopi:
Would you discard all man made rules and regulations for a higher cause, or would you cleave to them because they were familiar and safe and even effective in the past in riding the bus from A to B and back again?
JJ:
Of course, I would stay with man made rules while riding a bus. Do you think God is going to come create them for us? There is nothing wrong with man made rules as long as they are fair.
You point out the main problem we have with the Nothingness People. They feel that their one way trip to paradise message is so much more important than the mental drivel we have here that it justifies infringing on free will, rules and majority will.
When you have no basis of argument, abuse the plaintiff. Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC)
