chapter 01

Paul starts another letter the same. This time using mostly the word: God. God is a nice word. In English it is close to Gold. This isn't what Paul is preaching any more. He is more Christian than Jewish by now. And this is a step in a better direction. Moses is for morons. No offence. Morons need Law.

Christianity, though not what Jesus Christ wanted or taught, is closer.

I'm not clear about what it matters that Christ is first born. It may have to do with the first born often being a bastard child of a king.

Kings like to take the first child. Take, meaning the virginity of the mother.

In my case, my Dad was my father. And I'm really only the bastard child on a technicality call.

But it was something else for my mother. And that has forced me to move away from such paranoia.

vs. 27: God's plan is to make known his secret to his people, this rich and glorious secret which he has for all people. And the secret is that Christ is in you, which means that you will share in the glory of God. EQ

Well look at the brain on Paul. Christ is in us. All. It is a way of being. Not a thing.

chapter 02

A salute to Ray Anderson. One of my heroes of today. A business man for the future.

Paul must have heard me bitching about his tediousness. He lays it on the line for the Colossians.

vs. 8: See to it, then, that no one enslaves you by means of the worthless deceit of human wisdom which comes from the teachings handed down by men and from the ruling... EQ

vs. 9: For the full content of divine nature lives in Christ, in his humanity. EQ

My man, Paul.

vs. 14: he cancelled the unfavourable record of our debts with its binding rules and did away with it completely by nailing it to the cross. 15. And on that cross Christ freed himself from the power of the spiritual rulers and authorities; he made a public spectacle of them by leading them as captives in his victory procession. 16. So let no one make rules about what you eat or drink or about holy days or the New Moon Festival or the Sabbath.

vs. 20: ... Why, then, do you live as though you belonged to this world? Why do you obey such rules as 21. "Don't handle this," "Don't taste that," "Don't touch the other"?

Paul. Is that you. Rock on.

chapter 03

Paul goes back to his foggy self. Mostly telling the Christians how to be. Most of it not to out of control except for sex.

And this is a major problem. Every hollywood film says the same thing. Because Hollywood is a Jewish company. And they make it clear that sex outside an official couple is wrong.

And this is a lie.

If one chooses to have no sex or sex with one partner. Whatever. It's cool.

But it ain't normal.

Normal is without ownership.

vs. 18: Wives, submit to your husbands, for that is what you should do as Christians. EQ

No. It is not. Woman is not below man. Eve did not sin when she took from the tree of knowledge. She was the animal that wanted to become a goddess. And she had the goddess in her. End to the Men's Club.
