Suffice to say, it's pretty ironic for you of all people to take AJ to
task for his posting habits. There's an old saying about a log and a
splinter that seems appropriate here.


I had to go to Google for that one, Pete. I was drawing a blank. Busted!

"In Matthew 7:3 we read “Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s
eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?” Esu Immanuel used
real life examples to make his point. Here he is using the example of
having a piece of dirt or a speck of sawdust getting into your eye, making
it impossible for you to physically see clearly. A splinter or a sliver or
a log all refer to wood and are far larger than a speck of sawdust. If a
speck of sawdust obstructs your vision, how much more would a sliver or a
log.

In other words Esu is saying, how foolish it is to try and see the speck of
sawdust in your brother’s eye, when you have a log of wood in your own eye.
You most certainly would not be able to see accurately. Now, we must
translate this analogy into our understanding of Esu Immanuel’s teaching
concerning judging others.

To judge others truly, wisely and accurately we must understand the Laws of
God and Creation ourselves and live by them."
