HELLO FOLLOWERS OF ALPHANOVA BLOG ....DID EVERYONE SEE MY POST ABOUT THE 12X12? WHY IS IT THAT SO MANY PEOPLE MISCONSCREW AND MIS-INTERPRET THE TRADITIONS OF THE 12X12 OF A.A.? WHEN JUST LIKE ACCEPTING THE LORD GOD JESUS IN OUR LIVES, IT'S SO SIMPLE.WITHOUT THE TRAIDITONS, EGOMANIACS TRY TO PLAY GOD, THE OMNIPOTANT GOD OF CREATION,THE MAKER OF MANKIND IN HIS OWN IMAGE, WITH ALL OF OUR UNIQUE CHARECTERISTICS,, PERSONALITIES,AND PERCEPTIONS. WITH THAT IN MIND COLOSSIANS 1:8 BEWARE LEST ANY MAN SPOIL YOU THROUGH PHILOSOPHY AND VAIN DECEIT, AFTER TRADITIONS AND RUDIMENTS OF THE WORLD AND NOT AFTER CHRIST.THE RUDIMENTS OF THE WORLDAND IT'S AN ASPECT WE NEVER QUESTION JUST OUTRIGHT ACCEPT.WHICH IS TO "X " OUT GOD NOW EVERYONE IN A.A. KNOWS THAT THE STEPS WERE CREATED AND TAKEN FROM THE BIBLE.THEY CAN'T DEAL WITH GOD BECAUSETHEY DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD. AN EXCUSE USED TO KEEP THE OUTSIDE ENFLUENCES THAT LED TO A LIFE OF ALCOHOLISM AND THE UNMANAGEABLE LIFE STYLE THAT ALCOHOL IS USED TO DROWN OUT.
STEP 1:
WE ADMITTED WE WERE POWERLESS OVER ALCOHOL,THAT OUR LIVES HAD BECOME UNMANAGEABLE;
STEP2:
CAME TO BELIEVE THAT A POWER GREATER THAN OURSELVES COULD RESTORE US TO SANITY?.
IN THE WORD OF GOD PETER 5:16 CONFESS YOUR TRRESSPASSES TO ONE ANOTHER,AND PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER,THAT YOU MAY BE HEALED ,THE EFFECTIVE FERVENT PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN AVAILS MUCH.THIS COVERS THE FIRST TWO STEPS. SO WOULD SOME ONE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW CAN A LIFE LIVED IN SANITY AND THE REALISATION. AS STATED " CAME TO BELIEVE""" THAT A POWER.......GREATER THAN OURSELVES,,IF THE POWER DIDN'T COME FROM GOD, THE REALISIM, ESPECIALLY AT A SPIRITUAL LEVEL,THAT GAP, THAT HOLE WITHIN, THAT EMPTY SPACE,THAT EMOTIONAL VOID, THAT NO MATTER WHAT WAS EVER DONE THAT LONELINESS,THAT MISERY WE JUST COULDN'T PUT OUR FINGER ON IT BUT IT WAS REAL....THAT WE CAME TO BELIEVE THAT A POWER GREATER THAN OURSELVE, THAT POWER WAS ...AND IS.... AND WHAT BROUGHT US THRU THOSE HANG OVERS, THE BLACK OUTS, THE TIMES WE FOUND OUR SELVES IN THE DRUNK TANK, HOSPITALS, AND ONCE THE TRUTH FINALLY SINKS INTO THAT WATERED BRAIN,AND STINCH OOZING FLESH, YOU KNOW THAT SMELL NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU WASH, THERES AN ODOR, SO USED TO IT. WE NO LONGER NOTICE IT BUT CONSTANTLY REMINDED OF IT FROM OTHERS.THAT POWER THE WHOLE TIME WAS GOD.
SO IN PARTING I RAN ACROSS PETER 5:16 WHICH COVER BOTH STEPS AT ONCE.
NOW LETS TAKE A LOOK AT THE FIRST TRADITION, NOT THE RUDIMENTS OF THE WORLDE TRADITIONS, WITH AS MANY EXCUSES WE COULD USE MUSTER OR MAKE, TO KEEP FROM ACCEPTING THE TRUTH.ALWAYS READY TO MESS UP SABOTAGE SOMETHING BECAUSE DRUNKS CAN'T HELP IT.
TRADITION 1
OUR COMMON WELFARE COME FIRST
TRADITION 2
OUR AUTORITY IS A LOVING GOD, AND UNITY OF A.A AS A GROUP, IS WHAT HOLDS A.A. AND THE GROUP TOGETHER YET MAINTAINING THE LIBERTY OF THE INDIVIDUAL....
SO WHY IS IT THAT THE UNITY IS MISCONSCREWED TO SABOTAGE, PLAY GOD,AND MESS UP A LIFE,CAUSING THE INSANITY OF INEBRIATION OR CHEMICAL RELIEF???????TO ULTIMATELY BE THE CAUSE AND THE EFFECT..WHEN OUR ULTIMATE AUTHORITY IS A LOVING GOD.....OOPS MY BAD SOME DON'T BELEIVE IN GOD, THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY....
