Theos-Talk Archives (November 2006 Message tt01164)

Friends, 
 
Kindness must be in one?s heart, much more than in one?s outer shell or visible personality. 
 
I would like to extend an invitation to those who believe that ?nobody can judge or evaluate anyone else?, and also to those who use this popular but wrong  saying as a shield to justify the absence of moral or ethical choices. 
 
Would these friends  tell us whether they think the New Testament Jesus is wrong, or if that Master is arrogant, or he behaves like a bigot, as he says the words below? 
 
In the New Testament, Jesus confronts the process of façade-building and make-believe with these words:  
 
?How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You clean the outside of your cup and plate, while the inside is full of  what you have obtained by violence and selfishness. Blind Pharisee! Clean what is inside the cup first, and then the outside will be clean too!?(Mt, 23: 25-26) 
 
And also: 
 
?How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look fine on the outside but are full of bones and decaying corpses on the inside. In the same
way, on the outside you appear good to everybody, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and sins.?(Mt, 23:
27-28)
 
In that departament, there is no need to quote H. P. Blavatsky,  as she most often used a similar language with regard to whitewashed appearances. 
 
 
Best regards,   Carlos.
