Changes

Alkon (Bill/Isaac): Good evening, my friends, I am Alkon, Isaac's personal teacher. This evening I have been included in the format in order to [[share]] my concerns and [[wisdom]]. I wish to emphasize the [[distinction]] between loving the sinner and hating the [[sin]]. This distinction is of great import, for it is of the [[nature of Deity]]. It is natural for you, as [[mortals]], to think from the outside in and to attribute to yourselves and your fellows [[motivations]] which are directly connected with [[actions]]. And depending on the degree of [[evil]], of [[error]], or of sin in a person's [[actions]], are they judged by their fellows, and by themselves sometimes, as comprised of an evil or sinful [[self]].

Your [[culture]] has emphasized a [[false]] [[doctrine]], the so-called "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_of_man depravity of mankind]." It has encouraged irresponsibility by declaring that the [[evil]] and the [[error]] that you do is due to your [[nature]], inherited from your progenitor, [[Adam]]. With this philosophic [[background]], it is easy for everyone to [[accept]] this false [[judgment]] and [[condemn]] themselves and others when their [[actions]] are deemed to be in [[error]] or possibly even in [[sin]]. We who are part of this [[Teaching Corps]] have as one of our major objectives the disenfranchisement of this [[intellectual]] [[fraud]] and spiritual [[poison]] from the culture of [[this planet]]. Therefore have we been teaching you that your nature is not essentially [[evil]], fallen, etc., but that there exists in your minds that very fragment of [[Deity]], your [[Thought Adjuster]]/Mystery Monitor. I will not reiterate all of this which you are already [[clear]] about.

Now that you [[understand]] that your essential [[nature]] is [[good]] and not evil, how then do you handle [[erroneous]] or [[sinful]] [[behavior]] in yourselves or others? The [[free will]] of the [[personality]] is capable of making wrong choices. Most of the time these are made in [[ignorance]], so we term them [[error]] or [[evil]] rather than [[sin]]. But there are those times when persons do deliberately choose to do that which they know is the way of [[darkness]] - not God's will., and in [[rebellion]] against their maker. Because your [[personalities]] are not basically evil but are basically [[good]], there is a slight weight given to the [[altruistic]], to the God-[[aligned]] choices by your [[Indwelling Monitor]] and by the [[Spirit of Truth]] which pervades your [[soul]] as well.
