Luke 18: 9-14. 3-17-2007. |
The Parable Of The Pharisee And The Tax Collector.
He then addressed this parable to those who were convinced of their
own righteousness and despised everyone else. "Two people went up to
the temple area to pray; one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax
collector. The Pharisee took up his position and spoke this prayer to
himself, 'O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity
-- greedy, dishonest, adulterous -- or even like this tax
collector. I fast twice a week, and I pay tithes on my whole
income.' But the tax collector stood off at a distance and would not
even raise his eyes to heaven but beat his breast and prayed, 'O God,
be merciful to me a sinner.' I tell you, the latter went home
justified, not the former; for everyone who exalts himself will be
humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted."

The trick is to hate the sinner while pretending to hate their
sin.
"Two people went up to
the temple area to pray; one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax
collector. The Pharisee took up his position and spoke this prayer to
himself, 'O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity
-- greedy, dishonest, adulterous -- or even like this tax
collector. I fast twice a week, and I pay tithes on my whole
income.'
It is easy to find reasons to dislike people. It is even easier to
invent those reasons.
But the tax collector stood off at a distance and would not
even raise his eyes to heaven but beat his breast and prayed, 'O God,
be merciful to me a sinner.'
You can even use humility to prove how "superior" you are.
I tell you, the latter went home
justified, not the former; for everyone who exalts himself will be
humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted."
Who is the greater sinner: the one who exalts himself by showing
humility, or the one who simply exalts himself?
Regards,
Josef
The vanity of the selfless, even those who practice utmost
humility, is boundless.

Dear padre Pio, what is the use of putting Bible verses isto BoM
verses on a Mormon discussion site.
Because 1 Nephi 18:23 states that Lehi arrived in the promissed land,
he left Jerusalem to the south and came back from the west, the BoM is
situated in Isra=EBl and the diaspora.
(Does your Bible say that the promissed land was in America ?
The stuggle between the Sudducean and the Faricean, you will fin in
Alma, where they are called freemen and kingmen.
Taxcollection you will find in Mosiah 11, where the taxsystem of the
Jewish Khazars in Russia are discribed.

Joe smith had quite an active imagination, huh? And you have to look
all over his rambling writings to find "stuff" that seems to agree
with the Bible, don't you?
The FACT is that no, the Bible doesn't mention America, neither does
the bom, and ANOTHER FACT is that NO PLACE, PERSON, OR EVENT in the
bom ever existed anywhere except in the imaginations of joe smith.
NOT ONE person can "testify" as to WHAT WAS ON those plates joe smith
supposedly presented to his "witnesses" except smitty himself. NOBODY
has ever checked to see if his "story" matched the plates, and he made
them conveniently "disappear" before he could be checked.
Of course his claims about the funeral papyrus was PROVED to be
completely FALSE and the text of the "book of abraham" never came from
it at all!
That makes joey smith a liar and a false prophet, doesn't it?
in the Name of Jesus (the REAL One, not the imaginary one of smith's),
