Mark as Junk?
Women's Rites?
John Paul II affirmed the Church's position against female ordination, but wisely abstained from formalizing this sacred tradition in an ex ecclesia statement (which no pope ever will being as it is not a matter of 'faith or morals'). Nevertheless, it is incumbent upon all faithful to heed this instruction.
But just as Jacob wrestled with the Angel, it is equally incumbent on all faithful to work to overturn this precedent from within the Church hierarchy and without schism. Remember that the LORD anointed David after having first determined Saul to be king.
It is the express desire of the Blessed Virgin Mary that women be treated as equals, fully vested with an identical spirit to that of men, though they are physically complementary; and that women be ordained as priests, bishops, archbishops -- all the way up! But it is not necessary to the gospel for this to happen, though it would be more expedient for it not to happen according to the Spirit.
I am personally outraged at the ban on female ordination as is the BVM; But before we express this disappointment, we must first acknowledge the outrageousness of the Church's own existence. After all, God does remember a time when there was no Church, and if original sin made a necessity out of Roman Catholicism, then why wouldn't its all-male episcopate serve as nothing more than a horrendous indictment of the male sex? And besides, what woman wants to wear white all the time?
Of course, as a man, I am particularly ashamed of the historic misogyny. I understand that Peter the Roman is a man solely because of original sin, but at the same time, I am grateful because in another world, I would be a White man. But c'est la vie, I live in a world that is ready to receive a Black prophet, but not a female one (and my mother always wanted a girl!) So I guess my younger brother owes his existence to original sin, but my Blackness must be a gift from the many pioneers (both Black and White) who worked to eradicate the scourge of ethnic intolerance.
Sex is not the same as race because a horse of another color is still a horse! -- and some of us are zebras, too! But while men and women have a special relationship -- the masculine desiring the feminine and vice versa -- we understand that there is no thought that a man can think, which a woman couldn't either. Where we differ is not in intellect, but in experience. Women experience life fundamentally different than we do and that experience can be a valuable asset in the workplace. Ever heard of women's intuition? Women in particular can be very wise to subtle cues and hints that often elude us men who (let's face it...) can't take a hint! The ability of a woman to size up a situation and read between the lines can also offer a pivotal advantage in a delicate negotiation -- not to mention the ability to fake-cry! But then again, you would likely have also an increased social sensibility, were you to navigate your way through life's straits in so un-sturdy a vessel...
Now, women are the fairer sex precisely because they are the weaker sex. When Justin Timberlake sang about bringing sexy back, the artist formerly known as Prince countered that sexy never left. Nevertheless, just because men belong on top in the bedroom, doesn't necessarily mean that they should always be on top in the boardroom! After all, women do have great assets... (and the longer you hold onto them, the greater their liquidity!;)
Busecon Man
Meltdown
Corporate greed
Underwriting private need
As the world hangs in the balance sheet
On a stock agent's screen on the floor of Wall Street
Scandal
Dow-Jones ticker
Above an Obama-Biden sticker
As televised images of jobless figures flicker
And toxic hedge fund dividends grow increasingly thicker
Crisis
In God We Trust?
As the housing market boom turns bust
And the rich kids' silver spoons begin to rust
Big government takeovers help to make the world more just
Bailout
Fannie and Freddie
Spending projects shovel-ready
Republican attacks sound increasingly petty
As requests for TARP funds by major corporations grow steady
TARP
Stimulus package
Troubled assets -- hard to manage
Democrats vowing to repair the damage
While at the same time attempting to redefine marriage
We Speak As One
I asked Mary, How did I come to faith?
Did I believe after seeing the cross?
Or did I see the cross after believing?
Did the cross bring me to faith?
Or did faith bring me to the cross?
Did I choose Jesus?
Or did Jesus choose me?
Later, Mary spoke to me,
Speak for me.
Why me? Why cannot you speak for me?
Because I don't speak of my own,
but that which I hear, I speak.
Then how do you know what to tell me?
I know what to tell you
because you have already told me
what to tell you.
But when did I tell you?
I cannot speak to you if you did not hear me.
I can only speak to you after you have heard me.
He that hath an ear to hear,
let him hear what the Spirit saith.
But how can I hear you before you have spoken?
Before and after are the same with me.
Now I understand how I came to faith.
I came to faith after seeing the cross
before I saw it.
The Desert
I drilled for oil. But in order to get to the oil, I first had to cross a desert. Once I had crossed the desert, I had to penetrate it. I had to bring what was underneath the desert up to the surface. There are winds in the desert, and mirages. It is easy to become lost.
I came across a man in the desert -- a camel trader. He told me where I could find oil. He said that oil could be found in the desert. That is why I came to the desert -- to drill for oil.
Rosemary
Mary is dumb as a doornail. She can't think of any thought other than "Yahweh." The Virgin Mary is like a stupid farm girl (Rose) from St. Olaf who thinks that the reason why dead fish float is because, just as sailors bury their dead at sea, the fish bury theirs above water! -- (or at least that's what old man Engeljenkle used to always say!) The Blessed Virgin is naïve, gullible, helpless, unsophisticated, pathetic -- an absolute Virgin!! I once asked her to write a song for me and she played middle C over and over until I begged her to stop. She's a one-note composer and she constructed the Universe on that one verse "Yahweh." Her spirit moved upon the face of the deep but she cannot speak. For that she needs a prophet, a saint, an angel -- someone with a corporeal brain. In other words, Rose needs a Sophia.
Later, as I lay in my bed, the Blessed Virgin Mary opened my ears to hear some strange and wonderful music. It was the most beautiful music I had ever heard. It came in two 10-second excerpts.
The first excerpt was what sounded like a quadruple clarinet concerto in the style of Mozart. It was sheer genius! The four simultaneous melodies were as divergent from one another as they were complimentary. It seemed to display the genius intellect of a composer who had mastered the art of balancing both the complexity of four-part counterpoint with the sophisticated splendor of the classical era melodic phrase. It was as harmonically simple as it was texturally grotesque!
The second excerpt was also quite impressive. It was Frederic Chopin's Prelude Op. 28, No. 7 arranged for symphony orchestra in the style of Arnold Schoenberg. The melody, which was given to the strings, was chromatically altered along with what appeared to be some sort of polytonal counterpoint in the winds. It was eerie and dreamlike -- as dramatic and expressive as the first excerpt was technically engaging. It seemed to display the genius of a composer who was gifted at the art of creating and sustaining an emotion -- very filmic!
The Blessed Virgin Mary sees a Mozart concerto and a Schoenberg orchestration as being equally beautiful to each other, as well as to her one-note sonata for that matter. She's a stupid farm girl who can't tell the aesthetic difference between a Brahms symphony and a banjo strumming "Turkey in the Straw."
Nevertheless, possessing a musical preference is not a mark of impurity. Everyone has a different voice, a different taste, a different artistic bent. As long as we recognize that one composer's music is not intrinsically "better" than another's, we may prefer one musical style over another. Rap is not better than Rock, which is not better than Country, which is not better than Reggae. But if we prefer Reggae, then this is who we are. It's our culture, our heritage, our true identity. We may assert our tradition in heaven without detracting from anyone else's. We are free to be who we are now and forever, but we must know who we are in Christ. We shouldn't pretend to be what we're not. Likewise, we should not fear to explore or be inspired by other cultural traditions while recognizing that all cultures are equally legitimate. Mary is not a cultural elitist. Neither should the exploration of a foreign culture be imperialistic. Shekhinah is not only a Jewish God, nor is the Blessed Virgin a Gentile God only. She is a Lady of All Nations.
Human culture is inspired by Yahweh and brings glory to his Name. Therefore, cultural expressions are neither arbitrary nor subjective. Rather, they proceed from the Divine Name and are an integral facet of the Divine Thought Process. In essence, Shekhinah is the Semitic Wife of a Hamitic Husband, both of whom make love as their Japhetic Concubine observes in ecstasy. It is the Black Inception, the Asian Reception and the White Perception, which completes the Divine Sex Act. Without the Ethnic Trinity, the Marriage Supper of the Lamb is incomplete:
(Rev 7:9) After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
Just as we may have cultural preferences without being elitist, we also may have ethnic preferences without being racist. There is no such thing as a biracial person. Everyone has a race, an ethnicity, a heritage. There are three races (Blacks, Asians, and Whites) and everyone leans toward one or the other, as well as 47 subdivisions within the three main branches, all of which may be derived from the 10th chapter of Genesis, the so-called 'Table of Nations'.
The color of our skin may not be a true indicator of our ethnic identity, which is personal. A Black may have a White person's mentality and vice versa. In paradise, we will be given new bodies that will reflect who we are on the inside. If you are White now, you will be White in heaven; If you are Black now, you will be Black in heaven; If you are Korean now, you will be Korean in heaven; If you are Jewish now, you will be Jewish in heaven -- "Who knew?"
In heaven (just as it is now), there will be interaction and intermarriage among the races. We need each other; we define each other; we inspire each other. However, there will also be a New Africa, a New Asia, and a New Europe:
(Jer 12:15) And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.)
Within each division, there are various subdivisions as outlined in Genesis 10. So for instance, Black Heaven will be subdivided into such as Bantu Heaven, Zulu Heaven and Ashanti Heaven among others. Asian Heaven will be subdivided into such as Jewish Heaven, Japanese and Chinese Heaven, Cherokee, Inca, and Apache Heaven among others. White Heaven will be subdivided into such as Dutch Heaven, Czech Heaven, British Heaven and Spanish Heaven among others.
Además, these ethnic subdivisions will be further divided along cultural lines. So for instance, British Heaven will be subdivided into such as French, American, and Aussie Heaven. Bantu and Ashanti Heavens will be subdivided into such as African-American and Caribbean Heaven. Indian Heaven will be subdivided into such as Modern Indian and Ancient Punjabi Heaven. There is no Aryan race, and therefore, no Aryan Heaven. The presumption of an ethnic link between Northern India and Europe based solely on linguistic similarities is not only un-Biblical, it is un-scientific and in light of recent historical events, dangerously un-ethical -- the Indians are Semites; so are the Iranians.
Of course, it is possible to exchange your race for a new one, but this is like knocking down an already-constructed mansion in order to erect a new one from scratch -- easier in childhood; very difficult later on...
(Jer 13:23) Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots?
However, while it is conceivable to adopt a new race (and most ethnic minorities do throughout the day in order to get by), it is absolutely inconceivable to adopt a new gender. Unlike knocking down an already-built mansion, sexual identity is the foundation upon which the mansion sits -- remove that, and you die! We have already seen how exposure to radiation can mutate genes, but nothing can mutate a Y chromosome so that it becomes an X chromosome or vice versa. Therefore, all men will go to Man Heaven and all women will go to Woman Heaven unequivocally. It is because our genetic information will be altered in order to create our new bodies, but not our chromosomes. It is impossible. It would kill us!
People die because of heart failure and kidney failure, but nobody dies because of brain failure. The organ was clearly designed to live forever. However, as the body ages, it must be replaced at certain intervals. This is done at the genetic level. We simply grow the new body, or rather, we mutate into it. Before the Flood, people lived to be hundreds of years old, but they were killing each other and summoning demons and practicing witchcrafts, which brought down the Great Flood and fixed the years of a man at threescore and ten. But in eternity, Shekhinah will return us to a pre-flood state.
The night that the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to me in apparition, she genetically altered my right arm from the elbow to the fingers. She aged it and it became wrinkled and withered. For a moment, I thought I would have to go through the rest of my life with a wrinkled hand. How would I explain this to everyone? How would I play the piano again? Then God changed my hand back to normal. The entire process was absolutely painless. It doesn't hurt to undergo the procedure of genetic alteration the way God performs it. There is no magic to this procedure. It is within the realm of human science to develop this sort of gene therapy. However, I doubt that the medical science establishment could guarantee a 0% failure rate on this procedure for all eternity. God can!
