%CHILDREN OF LOVE LAW GOOD EVIL ORDER DISORDER+970501
%DISCIPLINE CHAOS GRACE DEGENERATION 970501
The Children-of-Love & the Children-of-Law perceive
many of the same contrasts in life --- but understand the
contrasts of life in contentious ways which mix up the
correlations between the contrasts of life --- in
paradoxical ways which are beyond the understanding of
many participants in the weaving & nitting of the garments
of life.
Whereas the Children-of-Law often see correlations
between {Good Laws & Goodness} --- the Children-of-Love
often see correlations between {Abused Laws & Evil
Alienation}.
Whereas the Children-of-Love often see correlations
between {Being free to be in Love} & {Wondrous Redemption}
the Children-of-Law often see correlations between being
{Undisciplined} & {The Degeneration of Communities}.
Whereas the Children-of-Law often see correlations
between {Clear Boundaries & Freedom to be Creative} the
Children-of-Love often see correlations between
{Artificial Boundaries & Resentful Alienations}.
Whereas the Children-of-Love often see correlations
between {Gracious Forgiveness & Healing} the Children-of-
Law often see correlations between {Lack of Firm
Discipline & Disorderly Conduct}.
Whereas the Children-of-Law often see correlations
between {Discipline & Overcoming Chaos} the Children-of-
Love often see correlations between {Arrogant Controllers
& Alienative Rebellion}.
Whereas the Children-of-Love often see correlations
between {True Love & Healthy Intimacy} the Children-of-Law
often see correlations between {Unrestrained Desires &
Degenerate Living}.
Whereas the Children-of-Law often see correlations
between the {Evils of Sex & Communal Degeneration} the
Children-of-Love see the correlations between {Healthy
Sexuality & Communal Integrity}.
Whereas the Children-of-Love often see correlations
between {Condemnations and Evil Alienations} the Children-
of-Law often see correlations between {Firm Discipline &
Communal Law-and-Order}.
Whereas the Children-of-Law often see correlations
between {Contending for their Faith & Maintaining Healthy
Tensions} the Children-of-Love often see correlations
between {Contentious Conflicts & Alienative Relationships
which are Evil}.
Whereas the Children-of-Love often see correlations
between the {Perfections of Love & Healthy Creative
Living} the Children-of-Law often see correlations between
{Undisciplined Freedom & Disorderly Conduct}.
Whereas the Children-of-Law question intimacy when it
is not clearly motivated, called for, and permitted by
Law---in conformity to The Good Formulas of Law; Children-
of-Love question prescriptions, proscriptions and The
Formulas of Law when they are not clearly motivated,
guided and graciously used by Love in fulfillment of God's
reconciling desire that Gracious Forgiveness loosen the
bonds of unhealthy guilt and shame.
Whereas the Children-of-Law often see correlations
between {Healthy Guilt/Shame & Repentant Obedience} the
Children-of-Love often often see correlations between
{Unhealthy Guilt/Shame & Alienated Disobedience}.
The Children-of-Love and the Children-of-Law often
see each other as the enemies of what each regards as
God's Will---and so they are often in "Holy Conflict" with
each other in alienative ways which are contrary to God's
Reconciling Will.
Each Child of God is often so sure that their chosen
way is the One and Only Way to Righteousness --- that they
cannot see that each Other's Way is a Complementary Way to
Righteousness as Right Relationships which are
integrative.
Each Child of God is often so preoccupied with
keeping life simple --- that they do not want to deal
openly and honestly with the complexity implied in what
other Children are so painfully aware of.
Each Child of God is often so exclusively focused
upon their own chosen way --- that they cannot see that
God has Chosen Other Children to live in Complementary
Ways of Integrity in Righteous Relationships.
Each Child of God is often so sure of their own Self-
Righteousness --- that they cannot lower themselves to the
level of those Un-Righteous other children whom they see
as not on the One Right Path of Righteousness. They
choose instead to sit high upon the Throne of
Righteousness of their own vain imaginations.
Each Child of God so often regards themself as among
God's Few Properly Chosen Ones --- that they cannot see
that God's Family Graciously Includes many quite different
children who are all kept in God's Love in keeping with
God's Gracious Will.
We are all children of dichotomous-contrasts and of
paradoxical-correlations.
We are all prone to feel, think and live in binary
terms --- within a world of continuous spectrums of
gracious alternatives.
We often see rectangular patterns in relationships --
even when the nitted strands of yarn which make up the
fabric of life are neither parallel nor perpendicular to
each other.
Many people who have only woven cloth and stitched
cloth---cannot hear and understand people who have only
nitted garments; and vice versa, for they all feel, think
and live in terms which each other: has not experienced,
have not been familiar with, do not understand, and do not
appreciate.
