           Christians have often been given the image of  having
      to renounce all that has been central to their lives; e.g,
      family,  work,  friends, community, holdings, etc. ---  in
      order  to  be faithful to their  religious  faith.     How
      reliable is that image?  Perhaps that misleading-image has
      been created by domineering people ---   in  order to help
      themselves  be  better  able  to dominate  all  vulnerable
      people  ---   to  the advantage  of  isolated  domineering
      people?
      
           How are vulnerable people to Know-With-Confidence the
      Origin-of-The-Image?   Was The-Image  created  by  men  to
      serve  as a idol which is in their service?   Consider how
      many  powerful  and  domineering religious leaders  there
      have been!    How is anyone  to  sort  out the domineering
      untrustworthy-leaders,    from   those  leaders  who   are
      trustworthy?
      
           Are the  most-powerful  leaders The Most-Trustworthy?
      Are the religious-leaders who have concentrated into their
      own  hands  Much-Wealth-And-Power ---  to  be  trusted and
      granted reverence?  If so, why so?
      
           Perhaps  it  is  only  SOME  powerful-and-domineering
      religious and political leaders  who  should  be abandoned
      --- in order to be faithful to God-Who-IS-Love.
      
           Perhaps  it  is  only  SOME  powerful-and-domineering
      family-dominators who should be abandoned ---  in order to
      be faithful to God-Who-IS-Love.
      
           Perhaps  it  is  only  SOME  powerful-and-domineering
      employers  who  should  be abandoned ---  in order  to  be
      faithful to God-Who-IS-Love.
      
           Vulnerable-People   are  qualified  to  be  able   to
      recognize    Powerful-AND-Domineering:     family-members,
      religious-leaders, masters, bosses, employers,  political-
      leaders,  military-leaders,  technocrats,  etc.
      
           All  that vulnerable-people need to do,  is to notice
      WHO is:
      
       1.  Benefiting most from the work of the poor/vulnerable.
       2.  Systematically concentrating Power-And-Wealth.
       3.  Most Reluctant-to-Share their Concentrated-Stuff.
       4.  Most insecure/defensive Inside-of-Their-Fortresses.
       5.  Selfishly-Consuming the Most-Natural-Resources.
       6.  Pretending To-Be Other-Than what they Truly-Are.
       7.  Most tragically misguided into Arrogant-Ways.
       8.  Unable to see/acknowledge Truths-About-Themselves.
       9.  Unable to Hear-And-Respond to Calls-For-Repentance.
      10.  Unable to Respect, Honor and Reverence True-Lovers.
      
                                    Shalom!
