Will you like my writings?

 

If you are opposed to the way most Christians believe and the worldview of atheism, then who are you writing to? There is a third group that I am appealing to: seekers or people spiritual but not religious. I am appealing to the kind of person who likes what they know of what the Bible says, but would never go to a church. I am appealing to those people, who are moral, but do not believe in organized religion. People who no other Christian is targeting. Just as I realized early on that what I was taught in school and learning new things were 2 totally different and unrelated endeavors, so I hope to show people that what the Bible says and the way most Christians act are two totally different things. I am seeking to help those who do not want to accept an established path: people who truly think different.

 

You do not have to have completed any college courses, to understand my writings, as even I do not have even an accredited bachelor's degree. But, if you have not gone to college, because you are not disciplined or smart enough, than you will not understand my writings. I wouldn't recommend attempting them. Also, if you don't enjoy learning new things or if you cannot read things you disagree with, than you will not like my writings. I generally do not take the positions of almost any idea that is mainstream. I am a Christian and if you hate Christians, then you will hate my writings. If you are a stereotypical Christian, you will probably hate my writings as well. For everyone else, I am sure you will enjoy and learn a lot from my writings.

 

Most of my books are based on the concept of paradox. Many people think that paradoxes are the same as contradictions, but Biblical paradoxes are like the Chinese yin-yang relationships between male and female. Many people also think that East Asian philosophies don't have any morality, because they mistakenly think that good and evil are a set of paradoxes. This is untrue because the major Chinese Philosophies as well as Buddhism and all the other Indian belief systems all have a very highly developed set of ethics. There very much is a definite right and wrong in both Indian and Chinese philosophy and religion. Most of Biblical theology is also based on this same concept of paradox.

 

The major paradoxes in my books are: humility and compassion, kindness and seriousness, global north and global south, hope for salvation and social justice, heart-soul and mind-body, personal God and holistic worldview, imagination and self control, discipline and creativity, submission to God and equality to other people, and the last one is still unpublished - joy and purpose.

"When the mood comes, I order a carriage; when I feel tired, I rest. A thousand thanks to heaven and earth for freeing me for such leisure. I feel sorry for the white-haired official who works the station; he's cast an entire life between the hooves of a horse."

 

--Yi Kyubo in "Written Under the Upper Story of Yosong Posthouse"

 

"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest."
