Character Assassination "N" a roman catholic












Character Assassination


It's easy to find a Bone Head.. who is a Roman Catholic



and Ya can't tell an dummy anything.. (that's why they are called a dummy)


when i worked at the-mo-ron with the church goes there


the manager and johnson bragged that it dosn't matter what U say about anyone.. so long as U get away with it..

dean tripp said that thomas ban "really did not" have the character to be a manager.. and that he was dishonest and deceite full with he worked for him.






this is actually what Alvin Glombowski and Maureen Barledge.. does.. behind my back ..and other people

any way..

now because


Alvin and maureen .. are Back stabbers.. and.... swindler's and thieves

they did rob me of my Gold and Silver..

and had yet to return it..

according to scripture they now owe.. me about 24,000 in gold and silver or the high of 42,000

but i guess it's better to believe the lies of a roman catholic.. management

then obey scripture..


because most roman catholic's are "Idolator's



i·dol·a·ter or i·dol·a·tor (-dl-tr)
n.
1. One who worships idols.
2. One who blindly or excessively admires or adores another.

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

[Middle English idolatre, from Old French, from Latin dlolatrs, from Greek eidlolatrs : eidlon, idol; see idol + -latrs, worshiper.]




As Alvin Glombowski and Maureen Barledge ..

are soon going to die and go the the place of

"nashing of teeth.. and the "Outer darkness"




i would think you might be concerned of their "Eternal soul"..

. they haven't had a "Good Confession" in 40 years..

and are.. convinced that the lies they believe are scripturely based..



as you may know.. more than 50% of Roman catholics go to Hell anyway..


what's is IN--side of alvin and maureen.. you can not see..



because you are "Spiritually "DEAD"






but if you haven't figured out that BOYSville of Michigan was a Crummy.. education facillity... and a poorly run religious organization..


The "Born-againer's " don't even view the Roman Catholics as being "saved" but that is something else..


but is suppose if one believe's the "Doctrune " that you get the Holy Spirit" as a baby when sprinkled with water.. doctrune of man

but as is the case.. Roman Catholics are operating.. with a "tutorial Program"

and they run after .. mary manafestations... to try to experience.. something..

IT it easy to see why ... "FORMER " rOMAN CATHOLICS"

don't have anything to do with the church.. and it is easy to find former roman catholics..



but it seem's that you haven't been able to comprehend.. why some one would choose to be a former catholic..

Gee.. in Deu.. chaper 6:6-7

it tells to teach the followers all the Satuates and Laws.. of YAWEH..

not the CRAP.. THAT THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH DISHES OUT..


Alvin Glombowski is "Right " and correct about "ONE" thing..


the Leadership and managers.. in the R-C-church.. have.. chosen to ..

"DUMB --DOWN-- THE BELIEVERS

II. The Penalty For Character Assassination. One of the ways we understand the severity of an offence is by the penalty imposed for the transgression. By including character assassination in the ten commandments, God put it on a par with murder, adultery and stealing. God gave a specific and a general penalty for character assassination.

1. The specific penalty is to be equal to the charge a malicious witness makes in a court of law. "If a malicious witness takes the stand to accuse a man of a crime, the two men involved in the dispute must stand in the presence of the LORD before the priests and the judges who are in office at the time. The judges must make a thorough investigation, and if the witness proves to be a liar, giving false testimony against his brother, then do to him as he intended to do to his brother. You must purge the evil from among you." (Deuteronomy 19:16­19 NIV)

If the penalty for charge you brought against me was a three year jail sentence, if I was found to be innocent, then you would spend the three years in jail. If we did that today, it would put an end to frivolous lawsuits.

2. The general penalty is loss of fellowship with God. The writer of Psalm 15 asks God the following question. "LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill? (Psalm 15:1) Dwelling is God's presence, enjoying the blessing of God was important to King David.

God identifies for King David those who will enjoy the God's blessing. "He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his fellowman." (Ps 15:1­3 NIV) If you insist on slandering the character of other people you'll lose the goodness and love that comes from dwelling in God's presence.



Character Assassination-Bloodless Murder
This will give you a clear understanding of the evil of character assassination and why God imposes still penalties on those who engage in this cowardly act.

This is the last day that our airways will be filled with election lies, half-truths, scare tactics-character assassination. I have a special dislike for one ad that says, "A vote for Mr. Politician will be a vote to dismantle health care, education and all things Canadian." You can hear desperation in some of the adds. Many of these ads are a direct violation of the ninth commandment which says, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour." (Exodus. 20:16)

When was the last time that you were slandered? Can you remember when someone spread a vicious lie about you? Do you remember how powerless you felt? Can you recall the anger that welled up with-in you, that urge to get even. Do you remember how you wanted to buy a full page ad in the local paper that would proclaim you innocence. Do you remember how some friends believed the lie and turned their backs on you.

Perhaps you can recollect how the lie was wrapped in a half-truth. Your enemy took part of a sentence that you spoke and put a twist on it that you never intended it to have. That twist cast you in a negative light. Welcome to the world of bloodless murder.

This morning my message will give you a clear understanding of what constitutes character assassination. Second, we'll look at the penalties God imposes for character assassination. Third, a positive word about how we break the destructive habit of character assassination.

I. Character Assassination Is The Cold Blooded Destruction Of Our Most Valuable Personal Asset You character is one of your most prized possession. Character is what defines you as a person. There was a day when a dollar bill was worth a certain amount of gold. For every dollar that was printed, there was gold to give value to the printed money.

Character is the gold that backs up the paper money which is personality, which is your public image. I can develop a positive mental attitude and read books on human and public relations which will lubricate the processes of human interaction. But that doesn't mean that I have character.

Character grows like rings on a tree, slowly and deliberately. Character is what I am when no one is looking. It is what I think about in the still darkness of the night. Character is the most important ingredient I can bring to any relationship. Character is the gold of my life. When you mis-represent and slander me, you are stealing my gold.

Sometimes in the public eye that gold is never replaced. I know a married Christian man whom I'll call Mike. About eight years ago Mike seduced a Christian woman. I also heard that Mike's wife accused him of sexually molesting his children.

Every time I see Mike in the store, I think about his adultery and about the molesting accusation against him. When I see him I say to myself, "There goes the man whose wife reportedly accused him of molesting his little children." There are some things we never forget. Only Heaven will erase them from our minds. Character assassination does lasting, long-term damage.

I am told that Mike confessed his adultery and is a healed person. The other accusation is still out there floating around. Let's assume that it's not true. Every time I see that man I think of that accusation and I look at him and say to myself, "Could Mike have done what was alleged against him?" Because of that accusation I would never leave young children alone with Mike. An accusation has robbed Mike of gold in his character account.

Many of you have shared with me details of your past. You are likely asking yourself, "Does Eugene always think of me in light of what I confessed to him?"

When you confess something, you freely acknowledge what you were. Paul said to the Ephesian believers, "For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light" (Ephesians 5:8 NIV)

Paul is saying, "Our relationship is based on the new reality of what we are today in Jesus Christ. The old reality has passed away, the new reality is what counts. I take delight in your new reality and praise God for the new character He is building in your lives.

Character assassination is the act of painting a false picture of a person and presenting it as that person's reality. God declares that to be an abominable act of cowardice. It was an abuse of free speech that angered God.

One practice God hated was when rich people would falsely accuse poor people and gain an unjust conviction against them. One day Sonia discovered $20.00 missing from her purse. Through a process of elimination, we narrowed the list of suspects to a young boy whom I'll call Jerry.

The more we thought about the reasons why Jerry was guilty, the more we convinced ourselves that Jerry was the culprit. One day Sonia said to me, "When Jerry looked at me today he sure looked guilty." I responded, "Yea, I noticed Jerry slinking around me. Guilt was oozing from him.

Guess what! We found the $20.00. Jerry was innocent, yet we were positive of his guilt. In Jesus' day Jerry may have been a poor man and we may have been rich people. Suppose someone had robbed and killed our friend and in our minds it seemed like Jerry was the killer.

With our influence we could get him convicted and in our minds we could justify skipping the due process of law. God says, "You shall not lie about another person, do not bring false accusations against him, do not deny him justice." "Do not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits. Have nothing to do with a false charge and do not put an innocent or honest person to death, for I will not acquit the guilty." (Exodus 23:6­7 NIV) Charging a person on speculation is character assassination.

We are also guilty of character assassination when we plant seeds of doubt about a person's integrity. We do this by asking questions with a malicious inflection. "Are you sure that's what he meant?" "Where do you think he was between 7:00 and 11:00?" "I'm not saying he did it, but if I know him he sure is capable of doing it." "If you were the Mayor and your friend bid on the project, why of course you would give your friend the inside track." "If he wasn't power hungry, why would he run for the office?" "If you knew what I knew" Or, "Not her, she's the last person that I would trust."

We assassinate character by putting our own interpretation on the words the another person speaks. Sometimes speakers choose poor illustrations and in-accurate word pictures. A critic could take those sloppy expressions and broadcast across North America a charge of heresy against the speaker. One phone call to the speaker would clarify what he meant. Words and phrases mean different things to different people.

It's sad that church people are just as guilty of character assassination as unchurched people. Paul said to the Corinthians, "I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder." (2 Corinthians 12:20)

My dear Brother in Christ,

Hi Paul,

A very intringing list! What is its origin?

I took none of it personally, and feel sure that is what you intended.

If nouthing else, I bear witness to The Truth. Speaking of which, I heard a quote this morning on EWTN from Archbishop Fulton Scheen. Perhaps you remember him from the sixties and seventies?

He is quoted as saying: "A Lie is still a lie, even if everybody believes it, and the TRUTH is still The TRUTH even if nobody believes it." Pretty concise and profound.

Paul, I'm curious why line of work are you in? Al tells me you travel a bit? I did do at one time.

I'd love to discuss our different views on Faith and Morals if you have the time and interest?

What I share is not personal opinion, it's all proveable, if one accepts the "tripod"-foundation for sharing our faith.

Holy Scripture, Sacred Tradition (1 Thess 4: 1-2) and Common Sense.

Example: "Mary is the Mother of God"

Jesus is God,
Mary is the Mother of Jesus
THEREFORE = Mary is the Mother of God.
(Luke Chapter 1)

Paul, I do hope we can enter into a discussion. I'm always open to new ideas and thoughts.

Love and prayers,

Pat

16 There are six things the LORD hates,
seven that are detestable to him:

17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,

18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,

19 a false witness who pours out lies
and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.

30 Men do not despise a thief if he steals
to satisfy his hunger when he is starving.

31 Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold,
though it costs him all the wealth of his house.

In the Ten Commandments, Exodus 20:5, Yahweh is described as "a jealous God



'Awon -- hidden sin ‐ a misunderstood keyword in the Torah?


Praised be Yahweh whose worship is based on exploring truth!


""Cursed be any person who strikes his neighbor in secret", and all the people will respond: AMEN!" Deuteronomy 27:24

Alice Miller in her book "For Your Own Good" established that Adolph Hitler was severely physically abused over a long period of time by his father Alois, and not at all protected by his mother.

Her book is subtitled "Hidden cruelty in child-rearing and the roots of violence." Before continuing in this study, please read the entire chapter called "Adolph Hitler's Childhood: from Hidden to Manifest Horror." It is important to know why the Bible is so deeply concerned with this word "hidden sin" and why our translations don't do justice to this essence of the revelation of Yahweh.


If we assume this connection to be only with Adolph Hitler we are making a grave error. The SS itself was drawn from men and women from abusing families!

The plot only thickens with our knowledge of that which we naturally want to avoid.

This Torah keyword is so vital because this issue is the basis for fascist theology and its political manifestations.


Amalek, in the Torah, is not just a ruthless tribe which happened to attack the Israelites.

Amalek thrives on institutionalized abuse in order to create a safe place for abuse to fester and to further its control of societies established on the principles of Moses.

The Torah is not prejudiced but rather is trying to help both the lambs and the wolves towards salvation. Amalek's goal is to destroy the Torah and all the universal values based on Moses' revelation (see Exodus 17:8-13).

Moses' goal and Jesus's goal is to protect the children.


Also, if you are not a professional in one of the healing arts and therefore not familiar with the mechanisms of abuse, please consider purchasing the book "Trying to Get some Dignity - Stories of Triumph over Childhood Abuse" by Ginger Rhodes and Richard Rhodes and reading it in its entirety before going to the Biblical verses. I want you to become convinced beyond any doubt of the enormous depth and relevance of the Mosaic and Miriamic revelation and their relationship to the Priestly cult (as you have studied in the Introduction to Twelve Tribe Torah CDs).


In the Holy Bible, first read the whole of Matthew chapter 18.

This amazing chapter is concerned with the innocence of children, the inherent humility of being small and powerless, the warning to not harm these innocents in any way, and the power of forgiveness/release/dismissal as regards even this most grave sin.


Jesus is in fact receiving the mantle from Moshe the great Prophet of Yahweh by restating the essence of this relationship. He also received the mantle from Elijah who is the last prophet to include the protection of the children in his theology of Yahweh.

In Exodus 34:1-9, the core prayer of Moshe: "Oh Yahweh, Yahweh!" A God who is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abundant in love and truth! Who stores lovingkindness even unto thousands of generations, transforming hidden sin, transgression, and unconscious sin! But who does not fully absolve!

Who visits the hidden sin of the parents onto the children onto the grandchildren, onto the third generation and onto the fourth generation.

Then Moshe made haste and bowed down to the ground and made prostration of his entire body onto the earth."


So there we have this most amazing revelation, perhaps misunderstood by the rabbinic teachers who omitted the second half of this verse in the synagogue liturgy.

Ignoring the second half of the verse is a direct cause for forgetting the Name of Yahweh, for denial of child abuse, earth abuse and its direct negative consequences on public health and moral integrity.


The moral protection aspect, that is the "Notser," is in fact the root word for the sect that Jesus was transmitting, namely the "Notserim" - poorly transliterated as Nazareans. They are the "protectors" and their original text, written 100 years according to R. H. Charles and James Charlesworth, was in my humble opinion "The Testament of the Twelve Patriarchs." They may have written others but this is what we have as an inheritance. The moral Torah is the superior Torah and it is based on not denying the reality of child abuse and its pernicious effects on all of society.


The key to fully appreciating the Hebrew backdrop to Matthew 18 is found in Hosea chapter 14...

. I believe that it is the foundation text for Matthew chapter 18... all the elements in the Hebrew behind the Koine Greek are there: turn/return, stumbling,

'Awon (the hidden secret sin),

compassion on the abandoned orphan child, and God's healing our rebelliousness, God loving us for no justifiable reason, and derision of our reliance on power to save us, where only Yahweh can save us.

The sentence where CaSheL (stumble) and 'Awon (hidden sin - also transliterated as "Avon") are combined is verse 14:2 - "Return, Oh Israel, for you have stumbled in your hidden sin." "Stumbled" is a poor English translation for it really means more like stumbling into a baited trap and not being able to get loose without intervention.


I want to offer that the Hebrew words, Shuv, meaning return or repent is based in the process of transformation. It is a gift, grace from the Creator, enabled by our prophets, mystics, priests and sages. There is room for all and in the transformation of sin lies our very salvation. It takes work, truth gazing, making changes, lifting others up along the way, giving praise to Yah the hidden side of God. See Psalm 51 for the basics of this process of Teshuvah.


As this 14th chapter of Hosea prophesizes the eventual downfall of Samaria-Israel, it has a very serious tone as does Matthew 18. Therefore the word "stumble" carries the most grave connotations of sinning, not the casual tripping over oneself that the word may carry in English. The Greek "skandalizei" carries that close correlation of both "stumbling/ falling into scandal" and therefore was chosen carefully by the Gospel writers.


And here is the clincher.... the only Torah verse quoted in Matthew 18 is Deuteronomy 19:15 where it explains that whether for hidden sins ('Awon is specified here) or for subconscious sins (Het specified here too) however committed, one must require two or three witnesses for prosecutorial purposes.


In Matthew 18:16 this then continues into the confirmation of the evidence of "two or three witnesses."

Deuteronomy 19:17 says that the two or three witnesses stand must before Yahweh. The contexts change but the message is similar.

Jesus is teaching that we can effect good if we take action and join together as harmonious disciples and that this will obviate the grave consequences of revenge (by going beyond an "eye for an eye" into the eternal justice of forgiveness).


Also in Hosea chapter five, the key verse where stumbling is in the hidden sin ('Awon) is verse 5, and it is preceded by verses 3 & 4 which both have an emphasis on sexual sins! As anyone familiar with the prophet Hosea already knows, his prophecy is a protest against any society that is lax in sexual license.


In the Ten Commandments, Exodus 20:5, Yahweh is described as "a jealous God, visiting the hidden sin ('Awon) of the parents on the children, even unto the 3rd or 4th generation for those who hate Me but doing loving deeds for thousands of generations for those who love Me and who observe My Mitzvot."

Ezekiel (in chapter 18) challenges this approach of Moses saying that it is impossible that God transmits the guilt of the sins of the fathers on the children.


What Ezekiel means is that the children cannot be legally guilty when the parents sin. That is correct; but what Moses means is that the children will be so deeply wounded by the sin of abuse that they in turn will either harm themselves, others or their relationships. We now know that Moses is more correct than Ezekiel in this matter.


Again, it is not the children's responsibility (that sense of the word "guilt") that Moses is addressing but the real effects of the sin and its consequences which are in fact transferred to the children.

In addition, when we abuse the earth, our children must face our neglect, our hidden sin. Also the earth will be abused when we do not address the hidden child abuse.


So in the end analysis, perhaps the judgment will be that Moses is correct in that sexual and physical and verbal abuse of children (and by extension of the earth) is in fact transmitted to the next generations and that this consequence is written into the moral laws of family and politics that Yahweh has created on our Earth. Even for a child who is aware of the reality of, and the effects of abuse, turning the curse into a blessing indeed takes three or four generations of forgiveness and transformation.


Every aware clergy deals with families trapped in the maelstrom of abuse and we know how long it takes and how much effort it takes to effect healing and salvation. Healing is what we can effect as therapists, friends, clergy.

Salvation is only from the Lord, from YHWH. Although our society does the right thing with protecting children on the State governmental level, it is just not enough. It is a core disease stemming from a lack of faith in the Eternal Judge.


By the way, also know that the Priestly laws in the Torah surrounding the proscription of not eating fruits before their fullest maturity are in fact a ritualization of the consciousness against the abuse of children.

See Ezekiel 18:2 concerning the folk wisdom of the saying "the parents eat raw fruit and the teeth of the children grind!" Sure, prosecutorial guilt is not transferred, but Moses' view is that the effects of evil are in fact transferable if it weren't for the forgiving, loving presence of Yahweh that can lead to transformation.


The first step to the process of forgiveness and transformation into salvation and blessing is the awareness and acknowledgement of the enormity of the consequences of 'Awon.


The last section of Matthew 18 concerns the forgiving King who will take revenge on those ungrateful for the gift of forgiveness and absolution - and this sounds like a midrash on this verse which describes two faces of Yahweh, comparing the wrath of the millstone punishment with the forgiving transformational absolution of God.


The next verse is so important in establishing that 'Awon is different from the other nouns in Hebrew signifying sin or guilt, as it establishes that it is all about "hidden sin."

Check out Psalm 90:8 - "You (the Lord God) have placed our 'Awons within Your view, our hidden matters in Your presence!"

This verse is found in a Psalm which is specifically attributed to Moses (who brought us out of our "bondage to sinfulness and patterns ever unchanging" through the Torah and through the loving God Yahweh who has established the laws of family and nature = "Huqim").


At the end of the Torah verses section of this article comes a suggested paradigm to understand the "Theology of the Legacy of Abuse" and a suggested reading list in order for the seeker of God's Word to fully understand the ramifications based on our knowledge today, with many thanks to our psychotherapeutic communities who have brought the light into darkness.

That is in a separate pdf file for easier downloading. To really get the enormous impact of the Mosaic revelation, start to read those books to enter into the daily consciousness of the transforming power of Yahweh.


Exodus 28:42,43 connects 'Awon, the hidden sin, with the flesh of nakedness.


Exodus 34:7 in Moses' great prayer of repentance, he states that Yahweh will forgive our 'Awon (purposely committed sins in private) and our Het (sins committed subconsciously).

This is verse is the core of the most important revelation in the history of religious inspiration.

The verse starts off with "Oh Yahweh, Yahweh!" A God who is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abundant in love and truth! Who stores lovingkindness even unto thousands of generations, transforming hidden sin, transgression, and unconscious sin!

But who does not fully absolve!

Who visits the hidden sin of the parents onto the children onto the grandchildren, onto the third generation and onto the fourth generation.

Then Moshe made haste and bowed down to the ground and made prostration of his entire body onto the earth.


Leviticus 5:1 'Awon is carried privately with no one else knowing about it.


Genesis 4:13 Cain's killing of his brother Abel in secret in the field where no one else could see so that Cain exclaims "great is my 'Awon, too much to bear"


Leviticus 16:21, 22 Priestly confession avails for hidden sins and is atoned for by the Scapegoat (something fascists capitalize on when we don't confront).


Leviticus 18:25 "and the earth will become polluted, and I will visit her 'Awon hidden sin on her, and she will vomit out her inhabitants" (one link to "Earth Abuse")


In the entire Leviticus chapter 20, which is about illicit sexual relationships, the word 'Awon is repeated in verses 17 and 19.


In Leviticus 26:39-43 it again stresses


In Leviticus 26:39-43 it again stresses the intergenerational characteristic of 'Awon, the possibility of confession availing, the connection of the Earth, that she will take back her Sabbaths.


Numbers 15:31 where it is explained that when sin is committed with "a high hand" (i.e. in defiance of conscience) the very soul of the human being is ripped away through the sin of 'Awon as one cannot keep ones word (for trust is deeply torn)


Numbers 18:1 even the Sanctuary itself can contract the cumulative collective hidden sins of the people and of the priests!!


1 Samuel 25:24 Scripture lauds the character of Abigail who takes responsibility for any possible sin committed unknowingly.


Isaiah 1:4 Woe, oh sinning nation, a people heavily laden with 'Awon (hidden sin) - and please note the connection in verse 1:9 to Sodom and 'Amorah!!


Isaiah 5:18 Woe to those who drag the guilt of 'Awon along with ropes of duplicity, unconscious sin (Het), like the reins of a cart. And in verse 20, the ultimate cover-up strategy for those in denial of 'Awon - "Woe to those who call evil good, and good, evil."


Isaiah 6:7 the prophet must first have his or her 'Awon removed, that is, transformed!


Isaiah 13:11 here 'Awon is connected with humbling, that God will cause the humbling that we don't ourselves cause through the consciousness of repentance and forgiveness


Isaiah 22:14 In some circumstances, only death will atone for 'Awon guilt.


Isaian 26:21 it will take the intercession of Yahweh to uncover, reveal the sins of 'Awon and the Earth takes up the guilt until it can be contained no longer (one of the basic moral laws of our world and one of the major causes of Earth Abuse!)


Isaiah 30:13 'Awon guilt can cause a sudden breach in our security


Isaiah 33:22-24 The four characteristics of Yahweh (Judge, Lawgiver, King, Saviour) are distorted in our Constitution by the establishment of only three branches of Government (this verse was in fact quoted by our Founding Fathers to establish the Judiciary, Legislative, and Executive branches of government). However, the fourth, the belief in God's salvationary power was omitted, this is the branch executed by the citizenry, the practice of the Word which inspired the Constitution and to keep all elected officials in line with Holy Spirit. The last phrase in verse 24 talks about the ultimate atonement of 'Awon guilt.


Isaiah 50:1 "Behold, you have been sold off for your hidden sins" - the ultimate price for not dealing with accumulated 'Awon.


Isaiah 53:5 the heaviest part of the burden born by the Suffering Servant of Yahweh is that "He is wounded by our hidden sin-guilt" - and in the next verse, "Because we all strayed like lost sheep and each of us turned and went our own way, therefore Yahweh inflicted Him with our Collective Hidden Sin" -- and in verse 11, "and He suffers their hidden sin-guilt." Please note the connection between this process and the projection of collective hatred onto the Jewish and Christian peoples by the fascists.


And finally, I want to repeat the Great Prayer of Moses who first reveals this conciousness, that simultaneously entering into transformative forgiveness and simultaneously holding the awareness of our legacy is the ultimate essence of Yahweh:


Exodus 34:1-9 (please go read it in its entirety) but here is the prayer - "Yahweh, Yahweh, a compassionate and grace-filled God, long forebearing, abundant in loving kindness and truth; preserving love for thousands of generations, transforming (literally "lifting up") hidden sin and trespass and unconscious sin; however, not completely absolving sin when visiting the hidden sins of the parents on their children and children's children unto the third or fourth generations." So Yahweh, our Creator, gave us the basic rules of human moral dynamic consciousness through Moshe Rabenu. Blessed be Yahweh's Name!


Additional resources and comprehension:

To set forth a "Theology of the Legacy of Abuse" paradigm, to begin to understand the many active connections between these manifestations of abuse requires thinking that comes out of realizing that all the following components arise from the same source. Here follows an outline of the components that together help us better define and fully understand the Legacy of Abuse that we as a society inherit, are in turn victims of, create, and ultimately have to address and atone:


physical abuse,

violentization (witnessing someone else physically or verbally abusing another victim),

wifebeating,

sexual violence,

incest,

sexual love between unequal partners,

pedophilia,

sadism-masochism,

fascism,

racism,

holocaust/genocide,

scapegoating,

disempowering,

submissioning,

humiliation,

shaming,

blaming,

intimidation,

bullying,

splitting, projecting

unlawful discrimination (against designated victim groups),

trauma (as from war and other forms of violence, justified by law or not),

verbal abuse (manifests also in the control and manipulation of relationships and in devaluing the other),

emotional abuse,

emotional incest (sometimes also called "covert incest"),

addictions (to alcohol, drugs, sex, money, power, and powerlessness)

self-abuse,

earth-abuse

seeking out destructive relationships,

divorce,

relationship abuse (includes teen dating issues),

abandonment,

homelessness,

emotional illness,

chronic illness patterns,

sexually addictive behavior patterns (includes homosexuals acting out of an abusive childhood),

pornography (many forms of pornography are directly connected to abuse),

enabling of abuse via denial, minimizing, apologetics, projecting, the spin, guilt trips, propaganda, dramatic maneuvers, manipulation of reality, and political distractions.


Below is a bibliography of suggested books for further reading and studying. These suggested books come from a range of wonderful people (psychotherapists, teachers, leaders, friends, colleagues) from my larger community here in Austin Texas who have over the years suggested one or more of these books as an important source of information on various facets of abuse. Please add to it and create your own list. My gratitude is deep for all those living in the consciousness of triumph over abuse.


In the long run, only conscious transformation, offered and nurtured by our sacred traditions, will help us triumph over evil. Psychotherapy is not only a secular science but also a religious consciousness. We secularists are not better than our religious heritage but better because of our religious heritage. This is because Moses did not give us the Ten Commandments. He gave us the Ten Principles ('Aseret ha Devarim). The principled life is the highest moral order of Yahweh's Will for us as a nation of priests.

Forgive us of our trepass.. what does it mean?

And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. (hail mary full of grace)

For Roman Catholics think that they will be heard for their many words.


8 “Therefore do not be like them.

For your Father YAWAH knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.

9 In this manner, therefore, pray:

Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
10 Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
13 And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.[c]








Q: What is a tresspass?

A: it is an unintentional sin !!


It is not the same thing as the 10 commanments.. which have different penalties !!





14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.




Leviticus 5 (New King James Version)

Leviticus 5


The Trespass Offering


1 ‘If a person sins in hearing the utterance of an oath, and is a witness,

whether he has seen or known of the matter—if he does not tell it, he bears guilt.



Leviticus 5 (Amplified Bible)

Leviticus 5


1 IF ANYONE sins in that he is sworn to testify and has knowledge of the matter, either by seeing or hearing of it, but fails to report it, then he shall bear his iniquity and willfulness.


2 Or if anyone touches an unclean thing, whether the carcass of an unclean wild beast or of an unclean domestic animal or of unclean creeping things that multiply prolifically,
even if he is unaware of it
, and he has become unclean, he is guilty.

3 Or if he touches human uncleanness, of whatever kind the uncleanness may be with which he becomes defiled, and he is unaware of it, when he does know it, then he shall be guilty.

4 Or if anyone unthinkingly swears he will do something, whether to do evil or good, whatever it may be that a man shall pronounce rashly taking an oath, then, when he becomes aware of it, he shall be guilty in either of these.(A)

5 When a man is guilty in one of these, he shall confess the sin he has committed.

6 He shall bring his guilt or trespass offering to the Lord for the sin which he has committed, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for his sin.

7 But if he cannot afford a lamb, then he shall bring for his guilt offering to the Lord two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering.

8 He shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer the one for the sin offering first, and wring its head from its neck, but shall not sever it;

9 And he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar, and the rest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar; it is a sin offering.

10 And he shall prepare the second bird for a burnt offering, according to the ordinance; and the priest shall make atonement for him for his sin which he has committed, and he shall be forgiven.

11 But if the offender cannot afford to bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, then he shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil or frankincense on it,

for it is a sin offering.
