📖 Biblical Question: Do you believe you are perfect or imperfect?
📖 New Biblical Question: What’s the difference between civil rights and human rights?
Matthew 5: 44-48 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
1 John 1: 1-3 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) 3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
1 John 1:1-3 KJV – That which was from the beginning, – Bible Gateway

(0:15:24) Dolores, your daughter rolling her eyes. How God sees me. (0:16:14) Daughter imperfect.

(0:17:57) – Hake…
(0:19:45) – Colin: I don’t think about it… (0:21:36) We didn’t change it after all. Got a comment

2D – BQ: Doug, doormat. Glad? Jewish? … Women’s Forum?
(0:31:01) – Hitler, Doug… Imperfect? (I forget what he said.) (0:31:31) I’m a doormat.
(0:32:09) Y’all glad? Why you don’t seem happy about it? Yessir: I’m perfect in that everyone else is also… (0:32:55) Aren’t you Jewish?
(0:33:24) – Rochelle … reality? (0:34:57) – Her first time hearing it. Women’s Forum assignment… Rachel says off-mic, it’s not “fight club”… (0:34:57) – Dolores says yes. (0:36:49) Lemme ask a mean person: Southern gal… Everybody does it?! (0:37:27) Marissa: I say no. (0:37:55) Now we’re torn between two lovers. (0:38:31) Alissa (sp) lemme ask my daughter, if I’d made her…
2E – BQ: No social media, YouTube, etc. “Doormat moment.” Kurt
(0:38:54) – Rochelle: Assignment was… (laughter) not going on social media or youtube, just be in silence… Senses heightened… (0:42:05) Doormat moment
2F – BQ: Crying? Matt 5: 48, Be perfect…
(0:44:25) – Kurt on BQ: Something in me says I’m perfect, but something else says I’m not… What do you say? Idk… Why you cryin’? You know you’re lying, right?
(0:45:49) – Hake reads Matthew 5: 48
(0:46:24) – Raymond: Wouldn’t know how.
(0:46:57) – The not-me, says a lady… (0:48:03) How’s your grandma? I love her. 83.
(0:49:54) – Andrew: What does it mean? (0:50:31) Another man: We can be perfect
(0:51:13) Green, oh both green. (0:51:34) Perfect. (0:52:24) Other green: Baby? Now.
(0:53:01) – Colin, hope. Done. Yeah right.
2G – BQ… Perfect? See God as your Father?
(0:54:00) – Thank God, one person. I had to make ‘em talk. Rachel looked it up. “On AI.” 😐 Nothing wanting… Lay my weapon down. (0:56:52) Do you see God as your Father? … I don’t trust God. Seeing the Devil within… “In theory.” What that mean? (0:58:38) Lemme look up AI. … I never listened to my dad.
(0:59:27) – Lily, see God as your father?
(1:00:07) – Man: Perfect? How are you perfect? What does that look like? “Amazin’.”
(1:01:13) – Nick again: Everybody lying … shrug off Jesus’ words?
(1:03:31) – Marissa
2H – BQ: Perfect now. Jesus the Son of God, or God?
(1:04:00) – Dolores’ daughter, when do you get the opportunity? Now. (1:05:05) Jesus the Son of God or God? Idk… I don’t put time into it b/c I’ll never know the truth until I pass away?
(1:05:53) – I believe in the Trinity, Jesus is the Son. “Triune.” Father and I are one: Interpretations.
(1:08:09) – If we were all perfect, why would we need God or Jesus?
(1:09:37) Response?
(1:10:02) – Alex: Muslim boss Jesus praying in the Garden.
(1:11:30) – Asian newcomer gal
(1:13:28) – Franky
3A – BQ: If I said You are perfect, never did wrong…? 1 John 1: 1-3, Logos
(1:13:56) – JLP on BQ: What if I told you you are perfect? Never did anything wrong? … Man asks: People who haven’t forgiven, but they are perfect? (1:15:03) Kurt… (1:15:24) – JLP: Divided… Is it good news?
(1:16:12) – Franky blind, confused
(1:17:29) – Have your Bible? Do you believe that?
(1:18:05) – I don’t believe it, because I know I’ve sinned. I remember. (1:18:34) Raymond, look up 1 John 1: 1-3 … (1:19:51) Raymond reads. (1:20:49) Logos? App says same.
3B – JLP on BQ: Thought of God, not our ego
(1:22:26) – JLP: We are all the thought of God. All of God’s thoughts are perfect, pure, love, life… One… The Kingdom of Heaven is inside. Pick up your cross and walk. We are NOT our ego. Believe in the ego, being crucified all the time. It hates you, it’s evil. Not who you are. They hated Christ because of who he was, not because of what he said. He was exposing them by exposing the truth.
(1:24:13) Before Abraham was, I am: Always existed, in the mind of God.
(1:28:32) More great points.
(1:30:07) Yet more great points: Mind of God, or mind of the Devil. Want for nothing. Created in His image, perfectly. Lied-to. Eternal life. No death. Christ conquered death. Stay present. See.
(1:32:26) Christ knew that: The way you treat the least of them, you’re treating me. We are one. Never saw us as divided people. If you didn’t think you were sick you’d not be sick.
3C – Feedback: Logos, the Word. Jesus was of the Spirit, not religion.
(1:34:06) – Feedback: Open to interpretation that Christ is a created being, the Word was God, the Word was with God. Jesus was always with God…
(1:36:28) – Philippians, Be careful for nothing, but in everything, let your requests be made known to God… “Do not worry.”
(1:37:46) – Hake: Word made flesh… (1:38:33)
(1:39:17) – JLP: When you think about it, you’re wrong, and you irritate people. Then the Devil tells you they don’t wanna hear the truth. (1:39:45) – Woman called this week, attacking. (1:40:58) They never get past the letters on the page. Christ was not into religion. He was of the Spirit. Stay present. (1:42:26) – Great point.
(1:42:58) – … The Devil sent that woman out to fight ICE. All ego. You are the mind of God.
3D – Catholic priest lying. Eat in remembrance. Christ died of the ego. Understanding
(1:43:37) – Before Christ came… If you’re Catholic… He’s lying! (1:44:58) JLP: Eat and remember him. He didn’t want you making love with the food. Chicken pizza, so good, I forgot about Jesus. Consciously eating, drinking.
(1:46:17) – Young lady: Diminishing the moment of Christ dying on the cross. Jesus died the ego death to save you. The false self. Christians worship the man on the cross. They killed him because they hated him. (1:48:03) The body risen? You’re not your body. … (1:51:43) … baptism of the water vs the Spirit (1:52:15) JLP: Stay present. Understanding will come. Let’s say your bf makes you mad (not that he does)…
(1:53:18) – JLP: When you see this, you’ll see this person you thought you were has never been. Don’t go around saying, I’m the mind of God.
3E – If we’re one with God, how are we individuals? Jesus, a living example
(1:53:51) – If we’re all one with God, how are we individuals? You’re not. We think we are when in thoughts. We’re all one, all the same, same Father. Divided only because we think we are better than others, etc. Divided from the wholeness. (1:54:43) “I went kind of unconscious.”
(1:55:58) – Different personalities? Same as me. … (1:57:48) Satan has nothing but deception. They needed to see Jesus, a living example, real. Something real about that. Something different. (1:58:42) Our parents are supposed to be that. But they’re not. They’re LOSERS. Man knew … Don’t take the risk of dying that way…
(2:02:34) – Colin, best service. Was never you suffering. Bread, blood, baptism, clarified: Perfect sense. Wives beat up on the preachers.
3F – Was depressed. The Light is there. Forgive mother?
(2:04:09) – Make sense? Asian young lady, mild depression last month. Thought she was never getting out of it. Needed to hear it from someone who doesn’t expect something of me; The Light is there.
Did you forgive your mother? (2:05:59) You didn’t tell her? Why not? “We didn’t get to that topic…” Anyone who’s depressed is because of hate, anger. JLP: Need to forgive
(2:07:24) “Kazakhstan.” You seem all nice and Kazakhstani.
3G – Having love without forgiving parents?
(2:08:41) – Any Q’s or disagreements? Another man: Forgive my mother? Context? Did You ForGive Your Mother? Just like her? Get angry, lonely, afraid, emotional: Just like your mama! Like what you hate! She can’t help it. Nature of the Devil. No love, just hate. Father? Christian with no love!
3H – Catch the thought, feeling scared?
(2:11:50) – Question at beginning: When I do catch the thought, feels scary… That’s not you, that’s the Devil … Walk into the room.
4A – Complained about new roommate with loud child
(2:14:05) – Doormat? Complained about new roommate at new place! Super loud child. If you don’t like it, you need to leave! (2:15:48) My ego was like, you should complain… Well, should I just leave? … Are you asking me? (2:16:39) JLP: Don’t go to the second thought. Drop the anger and see. If you’re not angry about the noise… (2:17:44) JLP: Christ never went off on people. But now you’re listening to thoughts.
Wait. (2:18:37) The light is not going to have that kind of conversation with you. Stop being angry, and stop making sleep so important. Want for nothing. … Expect nothing.
4B – Jesus’ emotions?
(2:21:17) – How would you view Jesus’ emotions? [We’re overtime] (2:21:52) Jesus did not get mad at them. Human emotions are animal emotions… Be angry and sin not.
(2:23:00) – Jason(?) Not moving to TX?
4C – New BQ: Civil rights, human rights? closing
(2:23:58) – New BQ, closing
