*whew!* the past few posts have been pretty intense and severe, for my standards. Its hard getting into the nitty gritty of a problem.
But I do want to put out a disclaimer. I was writing about the bad sides of people and how I believe it comes into play in various situations. But before anyone tries to use this blog as validation for hate, here is my disclaimer.
Firstly, I would like to recall a previous post about inner and outer. Briefly, there are two ways of looking at the Heb. Bible, the inner (which corresponds to feminine, understanding, modesty, moon, etc) and the outer (corresponding to masculine, wisdom, sun, etc). You can read more on this Here.
Just as in the case of women, its very hard to find much in the Heb. Bible about them. However, one can find hints and extrapolate things. But on the surface it seems women are cursed, doomed, dumb. I mean, didn't they just ruin it all for all mankind?
Working on the premise that God is truly loving and if there is something that shows otherwise, its my own misunderstanding of His ways, His words or some guy did some doctoring up (lol).
Working on that premise, it seems odd to me that a group, the Edomites can be so bad without redeemable values!
Please remember that in the previous posts, the focus was on those who allowed their greed to take over. However, once God-fear is in place, ego is in check, humanity is important, they and anyone else have good and wonderful values to share to the world.
Certain wrongs are regarded pretty severely. Some even claim that there is no salvation after that. But hearing these harsh words or thinking these thoughts of possibly no redemption BUT repenting anyway is exactly the repentance that is needed for such a wrong.
At times I suspect that this is the case for Edom as well. Reading all these supposed horrid, prophetic words as written in Ovadia /Obadiah and thinking "can I be that bad?!" but ending their greed, egotistic (or whatever wrong that is leading them down a bad path) ways, and helping humanity instead is precisely the remedy for that way of thinking.
Finished with that topic. I think I'm going to reserve these topics for the activitsts blog comments. I really want this blog to be a place of relaxation and rejuvenation. I don't want that we forget the problems that we are facing. This is not closure. As the PSA goes out, I will also do my part both on blogosphere and in my personal life. However, to read these intense struggles you can turn to the BWV channel, the WAOD channel, or many others like it.
