Christ never promised you Stuff. He said, blessed are the meek, the persecuted, the hungry, the thirsty, the poor of spirit, the mournful. The rest is in your imagination—which is powerful.

Stuff is the things which you can compress into a night out. Or a day of shopping. Or a common-interest blog. Or political actions. You are capable of getting whatever you want; such is the power of your general cognition, your consciousness, shared even by demons and atheists.

Do you think that atheists don't get things they want? And do you think that 'belief' is some kind of super-power (even the demons believe, and shudder [ja/2\19])? Do you think that political power means someone is ordained by God—which means anytime your opponent has this, it is holy?

Blessed is the poor of spirit. What does this mean? Spirit, pneuma, is wind, or gusto, or the exercise of 'the daemon'. It means a given individual is utilizing their faith (per heb/11\1) as a super-poer (faith, substance, evidence)—God-will. Willpower. Will-to-power. A skill.

Christ promised, rather, a state-of-being, a recognition%^&...a way of going about one's experience, which is free from taking, or having, or want. Or power from ego.

What is ego, so far as it concerns metaphysical definition? It is the 'I-me-my'. When thine eye be single (lu/11\34)...which denounces dualism. There is no evil: only so far as it exists within you. There is no desire any longer, because the faith is subsequent to the things hoped for, that which remains unseen (heb/11\1). It is surrender of the ego, the I-me-my. It is total subsistence from the bondage of the will, one's subordination to God, which becomes the only living entity within the substratum of the identity. As We.

God's love be with you. Not because One can give it to you, but because you are non-different from that love.

What evolves is a materialistic desire to become separate from that ultimate necessity.

Discussion about Christianity by Christians and those who are curious.

Rule #1. Anti-Christian and anti-Bible statements will not be tolerated. Constructive criticism of Christianity is OK, however.

Rule #1.1. The measure for what is considered Christian, as has been the case in the faith since the earliest days, will be the faith proclaimed in the Nicene Creed.
