NOTE: I split this discussion off "The Science of the Dogon" thread.
Immediately before Mt. 6:24, Jesus states "The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light". If you have not been properly taught what non-duality is, you will not get that "thine eye be single" means to see the world as non-dual, as One.
Even more relevant, consider what Jesus says in the rest of the Sermon on the Mount about "Blessed are the peacemakers" [Mt 5:8], "resist not evil" [Mt 5:39], and "love your enemies" [Mt. 5:44].
The God of Jesus is not the angry, adversarial, vengeful, wrathful, jealous god of the Old Testament. The God of Jesus [keeping in mind that Jesus _is_ Ausar and Heru] is all about love, peace, and unity -- not vengeance, punishment, and wrath.
It is those who hunger and thirst for righteous, not those who think they already are righteous, who will be filled.
Is it polytheism vs. monotheism, or is it that adherents of all religions tend to assume that their religion has the only "real" truth?Music Producer said:Well, I am a long time study and know for a fact you can not mix a monotheistic ideology and a polytheistic ideology because the polytheistic side eventually tries to replace the Supreme Being / Amma.
God, as the Creator of All, has to be the source of both Heru and Seth, of both Jesus and Satan, of both good and bad.How does GOD become a representation of evil (Seth) in later Egyptian ideology?
God is the the Force from which all other forces/energies/matter are manifest. For him to be against any thing would be the same as him being against himself. Which is not possible because, unlike Bobby Brown, God ain't bipolar. Unfortunately, most religions are hopelessly dual and, hence, teach that God will punish the evil doers. And, of course, the evil doers are always the Other, not the Us.You don’t seem to understand that GOD created forces / energies to act adversarial in the game. The job of these adversarial forces is to separate humans between those that serve the Supreme Being only and those that do not.
Mt. 6:24 is a concise, elegant, statement of the inevitable result of rejecting the non-dual nature of the universe. We are, all of us, not two, but one. We are not whites and blacks. We are, all, indivisible children of the One God. If we insist of seeing the world as dual, as blacks vs. whites, as us vs. them, we will end up hating them and them will end up despising us.Mt:6:24: No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.

No, vengeance is a false idol which man has engraved in his own image.Vengeance is the LORDs
It is _ALWAYS_ a mistake to shut off your brain, content in your own ignorance of what you do not know.The real Jesus is an adversarial force. Jesus works for GOD to prove us in our Love for GOD. That’s all I need to understand.
It is those who hunger and thirst for righteous, not those who think they already are righteous, who will be filled.
