They say they know the difference between them--claiming that they don't declare the specks in their neighbors' eyes while there are planks in their own--but then they don't notice that 'what they claim to be All-Truth' is actually just 'another plank with fancy decorations on it' (a.k.a. 'propaganda').

This is one of the crucial place where Christianity often breaks away from 'reality': they claim that the Holy Spirit 'leads us into All-Truth, for he only speaks what he hears,' but some think that means he only tells us what Jesus' instructions are (as he's the only one who hears Him)---and that WE are the ones who hear the noise of the world.

I disagree ... well, I think it works in a different order. Whether Jesus or the world speaks first, both voices are present at the same time. Naturally, the world's voice is louder; but as we get closer & closer to the Holy Spirit (study, meditation, etc.), we naturally hear it more-&-more better ... the principle behind the British army's practice of assigning 'sleeping dictionaries' to sleep with military officials ('a native-speaker,' as in The Sleeping Dictionary with Jessica Alba  ;) & Bob Hoskins; possibly not in actual reality ::) ).

If you don't accept the assignment of your 'sleeping Holy Spirit dictionary,' you don't learn to discern the holy prophecy from the worldly propaganda.

The difference? I think it's that the one 'gives glory to God' while the other 'gives glory to the self' (and I mean more than 'jus` sayin` "Yayy God!"'; I mean actually, physically doing something that makes OTHERS say "Yayy God!"  :angel11: )

Does that sound right & righteous?  ???
