TIME TO GROW UP .... what is a personal attack ???

This is one many people harp about constantly. I want to lay out that is time we all get real about this and each other.

If I call someone a Bitch, whore, pimp, or such, you are correct that is a personal attack. The question is not about the nature of it being personal, but if it is valid and proper in the context it is being used.

Jesus himself call individuals and groups vial names. Father himself called people bastards and whores. So if anyone thinks God does not use 'foul' language, you are greatly mistaken. But it is not used haphazardly, or with out clear purpose and meaning. We have all known and meet people who use foul language to shore up their ego and lack of love. This is no different than those that use 'proper' language and vocabulary to speak 'Above' to show they are superior and smart, to shore up their egos and lack of love feelings. Neither is proper in a relationship and exchange.

Now directly to the issue of personal attacks ... I hope most people coming here have some basic grounding in the DP and teachings of Rev. Moon (Father). One of the most concise points is that PEOPLE individually are conflicted beings (we have opposing desires) internally in ourselves. The world that we experience daily is a RESULT of this in every way. This is a result of the Fall of Man and the fact we inherited a NATURE (it is part of us) that is Evil (Fallen). We still retain an Original (Good) Nature as well. These are at conflict within each individual born of the Fallen lineage.

The reason I bring this up is to make the point that defeating Evil is a PERSONAL thing and responsibility. It is NOT a Collective thing. Never has been and never will be at its core. As such when confronting the fallen nature of others, it is completely proper to call it out on a personal level. Many see this as a personal attack, and I will not deny that, but it is an attack on the evil self and not done to destroy the person God created and desires to be victorious and successful. When you look at Jesus own use of this, it becomes clear.

As such I do not disallow personal attacks, actually I use them frequently, but let me make clear this. No matter what you say and use here, you are personally responsible for it. Also if you attack someone personally you will need to show some foundation as to why you make the claim you do against another.

As for those who receive 'personal' attacks, if they are based in some premise or action it is up to you, yourself to defend yourself, or if it is valid to digest it and learn from it and grow. For a personal 'attack' can show what evil you need to separate from if you are truly humble before God.

We should be big enough and mature enough in God's Love and ideal to be honest with each other and able to accept words of truth, even if they are foul and personal. Do not attempt to put God into a box that he will never fit in.
