GODS CHURCH |
WHO ARE YOU?
This is a chart I built in the
early 1980's when I was reading the Gospels and trying to understand Jesus. It was
originally conceived as a Pharisee[Lawyer]
vs. Jesus polarity, but Jesus saw,
exemplified, and taught the universal, so I have identified several other currently
applicable polarities. It could be expanded indefinitely, but is extensive enough to
give a fairly detailed and recognizable picture.
You can use it to evaluate your own
existence, and to examine others and groups. It correlates with much other data, but
is easily understandable on its own.
If you are and want to be as
described in the left hand column, seek people and organizations also described there.
On the other hand . . .
THE FIRST TABLE IS
THE TWO IDENTITIES OR POLARITIES :

GODS CHURCH
