Also, I am not warring with Bradly, just debating his attempt to dominate his thoughts over mine, when it comes to an individuals personal understanding of the context within the UB. Yes, I do find many of the things he presents, repeatedly, as part of his character trait, but in the same sense, repetition does not make it so, or true. He has many times indicated that he is only attempting to protect the students coming to these forums, from me, where I cannot express the many expressions he has used to describe me or my contributions, and even saying that they were Satanic in nature. Okay, that is his opinion, but based on this type of attitude towards or against me, it has become evident that he has a different definition of friendship or being friendly, so even if there was an attempt or invitation to friendship, it seems to be not mutual. So, I leave it at a debate, which he once told me that he will not debate me, and has told me as much here as well here recently.
Well Midi….an interesting conflagration of half truths and falsehood indeed! Indeed, over the past 5+ years on multiple forums, many students of the UB (including me) have sought to “…protect the students coming to these forums…” – not from you but from the misstatements, misrepresentations, twisting, and tormenting of the Papers. Actually, it is my opinion that I and all other serious students who have been privileged to read your many, many posts over the years have benefited by the obvious contrast, conflict, and endless contradictions to the Papers that you have endlessly posted….and then defended. And it is true that in your many attacks against my person (rather than my presentments), there has been a definite lack of “friendship” or friendliness offered.
You not only chose to post as Calagastia but have proven yourself lacking in understanding of the text as well as defiant to any and all who point out the obvious. You do not appear to be sharing or learning but demonstrate an agenda of distortion and doubt….hardly a friendly position or posture. An attitude and rhetoric that was rewarded with the boot by the mods at TB.
Some of your more notable declarations, claims, and “debate” propositions regarding the Kingdom of Heaven:
1. You have declared that the Satania rebellion began on Urantia (it did not).
2. You have stated that the rebellion was begun by Life Carriers (it was not) and Adam and Eve were sent purposely to fail by the intent of System/Universe rulers.
3. You have said that the story of the rebellion and its termination proves there is no free will (not true).
4. More lately, you have declared that the Supreme is contaminated by and corrupted with sin and evil by mortals and celestials. (oh dear)
5. And that the TA’s are also so corrupted and may make people do sinful and evil things by such corruption.
6. And that there are “alternative” universes and realities created by either God or by the Michael Sons where darkness, danger, and sin rule.
There are far more examples Midi/Cali that demonstrate your dark views of reality. As the UB was given to inspire, guide, and reduce confusion and error, you seem hell bent to scare, alarm, create doubts, cast suspicions, and insert fear and anxiety you feel personally onto all others.
It’s not just your lack of friendliness Midi/Cali, but it is your whole perspective of reality that requires the response of the student body to protest and correct such negativity. You might ask yourself what the purpose of the Papers actually is and what the overarching message is and why some believers are happy, and confident, and trusting, and positive about their religious experience while others are so dark and gloomy….all the time.
It would help if a student were curious as to the contents rather than so intent on unreasonably injecting mortal fears and doubts about our Creator and the Michaels, etc. If you were a new student sincerely exploring the text and personal preconceptions, that’s one thing. But I have endured, as have so many others, your pointless tormenting of the Papers we are here to study together. It matters not to me who believes what the UB says, but it matters to many students that the Papers speak for themselves and not be dismembered by those with an agenda to disrupt, confuse, and confound the rest of us.
It seems you seek an audience rather than a study group. People to perform your psychobabble to which never seems to change in content or in flavor or by aroma. But please make yourself welcome….for error is designed to be that contrast to truth, beauty, and goodness for all of us to learn thereby. May we all learn by and benefit from your perspective….if not be swayed by it.
