• To Tell The Truth

    From Lee Lofaso@2:203/2 to All on Tuesday, April 16, 2024 07:49:14
    Hello Everybody,

    Pontius Pilate asked Jesus one question.
    What was Jesus' response?
    Silence. Total silence.
    But we already know the answer.
    As did Pilate, and his wife.

    “WHAT IS TRUTH?”

    “Truth is the Voice of Nature and of Time—
    Truth is the startling monitor within us—
    Nought is without it, it comes from the stars,
    The golden sun, and every breeze that blows....”
    —W. Thompson Bacon.

    “... Fair Truth’s immortal sun
    Is sometimes hid in clouds; not that her light
    Is in itself defective, but obscured
    By my weak prejudice, imperfect faith
    And all the thousand causes which obstruct
    The growth of goodness....”
    —Hannah More.

    “What is Truth?” asked Pilate of one who, if the claims of the
    Christian Church are even approximately correct, must have known it.
    But He kept silent. And the truth which He did not divulge, remained unrevealed, for his later followers as much as for the Roman Governor.
    The silence of Jesus, however, on this and other occasions, does not
    prevent his present followers from acting as though they had received
    the ultimate and absolute Truth itself; and from ignoring the fact that
    only such Words of Wisdom had been given to them as contained a share
    of the truth, itself concealed in parables and dark, though beautiful,
    sayings.
    -Lucifer

    "The mystery of the kingdom of God has been granted to you. But to
    those outside everything comes in parables ...", etc.
    -Jesus [Mk 4:11-12]

    Mark chapter 3, verses 6-22 explains background.

    Lucifer had the wrong chapter and verse in his rant. For those who
    would like to read his treatise, it is in the public domain and can
    be found on many sites for free -

    Lucifer: A Theosophical Magazine. Volume 1.
    September 1887 - February 1888.

    Yes, the author/publisher does refer to himself as Lucifer.
    And only Lucifer. I am sure I can find more volumes ...

    On the other hand, Donald Trump will be speaking on all four nights
    of the Republican National Convention (Monday through Thursday). Trump
    and only Trump. Music to our ears. Let the sound of Trump begin!

    70 minutes of it the last day. The second longest acceptance speech in history, only his 2016 speech was longer.

    But "I profoundly accept..."? Is he really a native speaker? Has anyone seen his birth certificate?

    Hello Björn,

    On the other hand, Donald Trump will be speaking on all four nights
    of the Republican National Convention (Monday through Thursday). Trump
    and only Trump. Music to our ears. Let the sound of Trump begin!

    70 minutes of it the last day. The second longest acceptance speech in history, only his 2016 speech was longer.

    He was not president last time, his speech being 76 minutes.
    So that makes his latest speech the longest RNC acceptance speech
    by a president. But hey. Not to worry. On January 20, 2021 he will
    be sure to make the longest speech by any president in history.
    I mean, we are talking serious business here. Fidel Castro
    territory ...

    But "I profoundly accept..."? Is he really a native speaker? Has anyone seen
    his birth certificate?

    Of course.

    His girlfriend. A poor, communist, woman from Yugoslavia. Reads
    German like a native. From the Whore House to the White House.
    What a gal. Quite a find by Epstein. Gave her to Trump as a gift.

    It's the drowning part that nearly did me in.
    Not so much the showers and breezes.
    You see, dem waters are dangerous.
    Especially with all dem alligators swimming around.
