Better than the Conscience

“Yahweh God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever...”” (Genesis‬ ‭3:22‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The ability to discern between good and evil is not a bad thing. God has this ability.

In a person, this ability is called the conscience. Man that has been tainted by sin cannot use the conscience properly because apart from Christ, they seek to build their own way to Heaven.

“They said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let’s make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth.”” (Genesis‬ ‭11:4‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Mankind tried to build a high tower that reaches into Heaven, not submitting to the truth that faith in Yahweh is the only way into Heaven.

“For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.” (Romans‬ ‭10:3-4‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The conscience causes mankind to invent all sorts of philosophies in fleshly attempts to do good and earn their way into Heaven.

The conscience is the “law for righteousness” (the Ten Commandments) written in every man’s heart ever since Adam ate from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

This law tells us that whoever sins must pay for it with the penalty of death. It is a law that bringing consciousness of sin.

At the cross, Jesus’ allowed His blood to be shed, and He laid down His life, fully satisfying the demands of the Old Covenant of the Law. His divine blood paid for all of the sins of the world, and His death established the New Covenant of Grace.

Whoever places his faith in Jesus is set free from the Ten Commandments, and instead comes under Grace.

Instead of a law that brings consciousness of sin, God has written a new type of law in our hearts and minds.

“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” (Galatians‬ ‭6:2‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

It is called the law of Christ, and it is not the same as the law of Moses.

The law of Moses was the knowledge of sin, whereas the law of Christ is the knowledge of righteousness. The law of Moses is the consciousness of sin which produces the fear of death, whereas the law of Christ is the consciousness of God’s love which produces the desire to obey and follow the Holy Spirit.

““This is the covenant that I will make with them: ‘After those days,’ says the Lord, ‘I will put my laws on their heart, I will also write them on their mind;’” then he says, “I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more.” Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; and having a great priest over God’s house, let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having our body washed with pure water, let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.” (Hebrews‬ ‭10:16-23‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Dear believer, God writes a new set of laws in your heart and mind. God said that He would remember your sins and iniquities no more, so the new laws cannot be the consciousness of sin like the Ten Commandments. The Old Covenant is different from the New Covenant.

Under Grace, the Holy Spirit writes in your heart and mind, producing the desire and ability to do good works that please God, not out of fear of punishment, but as a worshipful response to His love.

The law of Christ can be summarized in the apostle John’s words:

“This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he commanded.” (1 John‬ ‭3:23‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

It is the law of loving God and fellow Christians, as a response to the love that Jesus showed in His life. Nothing about sin. Meditate on the way Jesus loved His disciples and loved the world by dying on the cross, and His love will rise up in you to produce good works of love.

Our hearts must be sprinkled from an evil conscience that is still trying to earn and establish its own righteousness. The conscience in your flesh never got the memo! It still thinks that the sin debt is not paid, and that someone has to pay.

To sprinkle your conscience means to fill your heart with the truth that the blood of Christ is the final payment for sins. We have boldness when we approach God because of the blood of Christ and not because we have paid for the sin debt on our own.

We have something better than the conscience. We have the Holy Spirit inside us and He leads us by the law of Christ. Instead of fear, we are motivated by love. Follow after love!!

Apple CEO tells college graduates: ‘We’ve failed you’
蘋果CEO給大學畢業生的致詞

蘋果執行長庫克(Tim Cook)於5月18日應邀至杜蘭大學(Tulane Univeristy)做畢業典禮演講(Commencement Speech)，內容是鼓勵畢業生處理困難的問題，有勇氣嘗試找出解決問題的方法，並以20年前的親身經驗告訴年輕學子，為何當年從前途似錦的科技業巨擘康柏公司(Compaq)，投入前途黯淡的蘋果公司。

杜蘭大學是位於紐奧良的研究型私立大學，有「南方常春藤」之稱，以下摘錄庫克的演講內容：

∎ Life will always find lots of ways to tell you no, that you can't, that you shouldn't, that you'd be better off if you didn't try. But New Orleans teaches us there is nothing more beautiful or more worthwhile than trying.
人生總會用很多方式告訴你，這個不可以、那個做不到、你不應該這麼做，或是你最好連試都別試。但紐奧良教導我們，沒什麼比嘗試更美妙，更有價值。

∎ For me, it was that search for greater purpose that brought me to Apple in the first place. I had a comfortable job at a company called Compaq that at the time looked like it was going to be on top forever.
對我來說，當初就是為了尋找更大的目的，才讓我來到蘋果。我原本在康柏的工作很舒服，而且那時康柏看來將永遠處於顛峰。

∎ As it turns out, most of you are probably too young to even remember its name. But in 1998, Steve Jobs convinced me to leave Compaq behind to join a company that was on the verge of bankruptcy.
你們大多數人可能都太年輕，不記得康柏的名字，但在1998年，賈伯斯說服了我離開康柏，加入一家處於破產邊緣的公司。

∎ They made computers, but at that moment at least, people weren't interested in buying them. Steve had a plan to change things. And I wanted to be a part of it.
他們生產電腦，但至少那時大家沒什麼興趣買電腦。賈伯斯想要改變這個局面，而我想參與其中。

∎ It wasn't just about the iMac, or the iPod, or everything that came after. It was about the values that brought these inventions to life.
這不只攸關iMac或iPod，或之後問世的所有東西，而是關於把這些創新真正做出來的價值。

∎ The idea that putting powerful tools in the hands of everyday people helps unleash creativity and move humanity forward. That we can build things that help us imagine a better world and then make it real.
這個想法是將強大工具放到一般人的手中，釋放出創造力，推動人類前進；也就是我們可以打造的東西，能讓我們想像出更美好的世界，再實現這個夢想。

∎ Try something. You may succeed. You may fail. But make it your life's work to remake the world because there is nothing more beautiful or more worthwhile than working to leave something better for humanity.
去多多嘗試，你可能成功，也可能失敗，但要把改造世界變成你的人生目標，努力留下任何東西讓人類更好，沒有什麼比這麼做更美妙、更值得。

以下是演講內容全文：
Hello Tulane! Thank you, President Fitts, Provost Forman, distinguished ( ) faculty ( ), other faculty [laughs], and the entire Tulane family, including the workers, ushers ( ), [and] volunteers who prepared this beautiful space. And I feel duty-bound ( ) to also recognize the hard-working bartenders at The Boot. Though they’re not here with us this morning, I’m sure some of you are reflecting on their contributions as well. [The Boot is a popular college bar right next to Tulane’s campus which has been around for decades.]

And just as many of you have New Orleans in your veins ( ), and perhaps your livers, some of us at Apple have New Orleans in our blood as well. When I was a student at Auburn, the Big Easy was our favorite getaway ( ). It’s amazing how quickly those 363 miles fly by when you’re driving toward a weekend of beignets and beer. And how slowly they go in the opposite direction. Apple’s own Lisa Jackson is a proud Tulane alum ( ). Yes. She brought the Green Wave all the way to Cupertino where she heads our environment and public policy work. We’re thrilled to have her talent and leadership on our team.

OK, enough about us. Let’s talk about you. At moments like this, it always humbles me to watch a community come together to teach, mentor ( ), advise, and finally say with one voice, congratulations to the class of 2019!

Now there’s another very important group: your family and friends. The people who, more than anyone else, loved, supported, and even sacrificed ( ) greatly to help you reach this moment. Let’s give them a round of applause ( ). This will be my first piece of advice. You might not appreciate until much later in your life how much this moment means to them. Or how that bond of obligation ( ), love, and duty between you matters more than anything else.

In fact, that’s what I really want to talk to you about today. In a world where we obsessively ( ) document our own lives, most of us don’t pay nearly enough attention to what we owe one another. Now, this isn’t just about calling your parents more, although I’m sure they’d be grateful if you did that. It’s about recognizing that human civilization began when we realized that we could do more together. That the threats and danger outside the flickering firelight got smaller when we got bigger. And that we could create more — more prosperity ( ), more beauty, more wisdom, and a better life — when we acknowledge certain shared truths and acted collectively.

Maybe I’m biased ( ), but I’ve always thought the South, and the Gulf Coast in particular ( ), have hung on to ( ) this wisdom better than most. [Tim Cook grew up in Robertsdale, Alabama, which is about an hour from New Orleans and is similarly close to the Gulf of Mexico.] In this part of the country, your neighbors check up on you if they haven’t heard from you in a while. Good news travels fast because your victories are their victories too. And you can’t make it through someone’s front door before they offer you a home-cooked meal.

Maybe you haven’t thought about it very much, but these values have informed your Tulane education too. Just look at the motto ( ): not for one’s self, but for one’s own. You’ve been fortunate to live, learn, and grow in a city where human currents blend into ( ) something magical and unexpected. Where unmatched beauty, natural beauty, literary beauty, musical beauty, cultural beauty, seem to spring ( ) unexpectedly from the bayou. The people of New Orleans use two tools to build this city: the unlikely and the impossible. Wherever you go, don’t forget the lessons of this place. Life will always find lots of ways to tell you no, that you can’t, that you shouldn’t, that you’d be better off if you didn’t try. But New Orleans teaches us there is nothing more beautiful or more worthwhile than trying. Especially when we do it not in the service of one’s self, but one’s own.

For me, it was that search for greater purpose that brought me to Apple in the first place. I had a comfortable job at a company called Compaq that at the time looked like it was going to be on top forever. As it turns out, most of you are probably too young to even remember its name. But in 1998, Steve Jobs convinced me to leave Compaq behind to join a company that was on the verge of bankruptcy. They made computers, but at that moment at least, people weren’t interested in buying them. Steve had a plan to change things. And I wanted to be a part of it.

It wasn’t just about the iMac, or the iPod, or everything that came after. It was about the values that brought these inventions to life. The idea that putting powerful tools in the hands of everyday people helps unleash creativity and move humanity forward. That we can build things that help us imagine a better world and then make it real.

There’s a saying that if you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life. At Apple, I learned that’s a total crock ( ). You’ll work harder than you ever thought possible, but the tools will feel light in your hands. As you go out into the world, don’t waste time on problems that have been solved. Don’t get hung up on what other people say is practical. Instead, steer ( ) your ship into the choppy ( ) seas. Look for the rough spots, the problems that seem too big, the complexities ( ) that other people are content to work around. It’s in those places that you will find your purpose. It’s there that you can make your greatest contribution. Whatever you do, don’t make the mistake of being too cautious. Don’t assume that by staying put, the ground won’t move beneath your feet. The status quo ( ) simply won’t last. So get to work on building something better.

In some important ways, my generation has failed you in this regard ( ). We spent too much time debating. We’ve been too focused on the fight and not focused enough on progress. And you don’t need to look far to find an example of that failure. Here today, in this very place, in an arena where thousands once found desperate shelter ( ) from a 100-year disaster, the kind that seem to be happening more and more frequently, I don’t think we can talk about who we are as people and what we owe to one another without talking about climate change.

[applause] Thank you. Thank you.

This problem doesn’t get any easier based on whose side wins or loses an election. It’s about who has won life’s lottery and has the luxury of ignoring this issue and who stands to lose everything. The coastal communities, including some right here in Louisiana, that are already making plans to leave behind the places they’ve called home for generations and head for higher ground. The fishermen whose nets come up empty. The wildlife preserves ( ) with less wildlife to preserve. The marginalized ( ), for whom a natural disaster can mean enduring poverty.

Just ask Tulane’s own Molly Keogh, who’s getting her Ph.D. this weekend. Her important new research shows that rising sea levels are devastating ( ) areas of Southern Louisiana more dramatically than anyone expected. Tulane graduates, these are people’s homes. Their livelihoods ( ). The land where their grandparents were born, lived, and died.

When we talk about climate change or any issue with human costs, and there are many, I challenge you to look for those who have the most to lose and find the real, true empathy ( ) that comes from something shared. That is really what we owe one another. When you do that, the political noise dies down, and you can feel your feet firmly planted on solid ground. After all, we don’t build monuments ( ) to trolls ( ), and we’re not going to start now.

If you find yourself spending more time fighting than getting to work, stop and ask yourself who benefits from all the chaos. There are some who would like you to believe that the only way that you can be strong is by bulldozing ( ) those who disagree or never giving them a chance to say their peace in the first place. That the only way you can build your own accomplishments is by tearing down ( ) the other side.

We forget sometimes that our preexisting beliefs have their own force of gravity ( ). Today, certain algorithms ( ) pull toward you the things you already know, believe, or like, and they push away everything else. Push back. It shouldn’t be this way. But in 2019, opening your eyes and seeing things in a new way can be a revolutionary act. Summon the courage not just to hear but to listen. Not just to act, but to act together.

It can sometimes feel like the odds ( ) are stacked ( ) against you, that it isn’t worth it, that the critics are too persistent and the problems are too great. But the solutions to our problems begin on a human scale with building a shared understanding of the work ahead and with undertaking it together. At the very least, we owe it to each other to try.

It’s worked before. In 1932, the American economy was in a free-fall ( ). Twelve million people were unemployed, and conventional ( ) wisdom said the only thing to do was to ride it out, wait, and hope that things would turn around ( ). But the governor ( ) of New York, a rising star named Franklin Roosevelt, refused to wait. He challenged the status quo and called for action ( ). He needed people to stop their rosy ( ) thinking, face the facts, pull together ( ), and help themselves out of a jam. He said: “The country demands bold, persistent experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it and try another. But above all, try something.”
This was a speech to college students fearful ( ) about their future in an uncertain world. He said: “Yours is not the task of making your way in the world, but the task of remaking the world.” The audacious ( ) empathy of young people, the spirit that says we should live not just for ourselves, but for our own. That’s the way forward. From climate change to immigration, from criminal justice reform to economic opportunity, be motivated by your duty to build a better world. Young people have changed the course of history time and time again. And now it’s time to change it once more.

I know, I know the urgency of that truth is with you today. Feel big because no one can make you feel strong. Feel brave because the challenges we face are great but you are greater. And feel grateful because someone sacrificed to make this moment possible for you. You have clear eyes and a long life to use them. And here in this stadium, I can feel your courage.

Call upon your grit ( ). Try something. You may succeed. You may fail. But make it your life’s work to remake the world because there is nothing more beautiful or more worthwhile than working to leave something better for humanity.

Thank you very much, and congratulations class of 2019!

เมื่อวานได้ดูหนังเรื่อง Molly's Game (ซึ่งถัดจากนี้จะมีการเผยเนื้อหาสำคัญของเรื่อง) เป็นเรื่องของนักกีฬาสกีสาวอนาคตไกลที่ถูกพ่อเทรนมาอย่างหนักหนา เข้มงวด กดดัน จนกระทั่งเกือบได้เหรียญโอลิมปิก แต่แล้วเธอก็พลาดไปเพียงเพราะสะดุดกิ่งสนที่โผล่ขึ้นมาจากพื้นหิมะของลานสกีทำให้ล้มคว่ำไม่เป็นท่า จากนั้นชีวิตก็ลากพาเธอเข้าสู่ด้านสีเทา กลายเป็นคนเปิดบ่อนโป๊กเกอร์ (ซึ่งลูกค้าในบ่อนมีแต่ผู้ชายระดับบิ๊กจากสารพัดวงการ) กระทั่งถูกจับ และเกือบต้องเข้าคุก ทั้งที่สมัยเรียนเธอเป็นเด็กเรียนดีมาก

ม...
Continue ReadingYesterday, I watched Molly's game (next to this, the important content of the story). It was about the far future ski athlete who was trained by the father, pressured until almost got the Olympic Medal, but then she only missed it. Because of the pine branches that came up from the snow floor of the ski slope. Then life dragged her into the grey side to open poker. (there are only big men in the casino) Until I was arrested and almost went to jail in school. She was a very good student.

Molly and dad have always been so bad with how Molly feels that he loves her brother more than she is better at skiing). and dad feels like her daughter likes to interrupted and Molly. I hate dad harder when I know the secret that he cheated on mom.

The story comes to the end after disappearing from each other's lives. Both of them meet again at the ice rink in the middle of the city.

Father (which is an expensive psychiatrist) tells the child that all you have done for your life to win the father. Happiness from opening the casino is not because they get a lot of money. If it is the feeling that they have control those "men" to solve the knot when you were Command for the rest of my life.

Dad opened her an opportunity to ask. Molly asked how he felt about cheating on her mom because he felt like he did something too bad. Forgive him, control his mind and said yes, dad did what was bad but at least dad Well, raise three kids to grow up. One is a two-Time Olympic Champion. The other is a famous surgeon. The other earn hundreds of millions of millions (he means Molly) and dad says to Molly, " no one is perfect. But at least dad did the right thing "

My Dad's words, I thought he didn't say it to excuse himself, but this word heals Molly's mind as well.

Of course, this quote doesn't make people who do wrong things right because bad things deserve to get the consequences of that action, but this word makes us expand our perspective from looking at one person more.

When I'm angry, I hate someone, we often shrink our perspective. There are only narrow areas that we don't like. Remind that person in the same story and over and over again. Then that person becomes "just" that we forget other dimensions. His other stories are gone.

" Father " for Molly Shrinking the meaning to only " bad man who cheated on mother " even if he has other meaning, raised her to teach good things, strict, strict and disciplined or even the love that father gave you can't see.

In our life, there may be someone we accidentally " Judge " and shrink the perspective on him to only this narrow definition. The part that we try to answer his " fault " is because of us (who hates him) will become " Right side "

The worse he is, the more we get mad at him.
The more he is wrong, the more we are right.

...

Dad told Molly she saw that dad cheated on mom since she was five years old. Molly doesn't remember but it seems to be in her subconscious, so she was stubborn with her father and didn't like dad all the time. I knew that daughter saw secrets. I am ashamed every time I am in front of my child. I treat you without attachment like other people's children. These two things are reactions until it is a broken relationship of father. Cuddle kids.

When Molly expands his perspective on her father, she can love her father and receive love with other aspects of the father that mean positively to her.

With relationships in life, sometimes we aim for black spots on white paper and crush it with black pen repeatedly until the paper is torn through, forgetting that there is still a lot of white space to create good stories together.

Of course, some things are too painful to forgive. Distangence and step apart may be a better choice, but some hate is nice to expand your perspective to connect with other things.

As I said, this sentence heals Molly's " faults " together. As she grows up, she begins to have " faults " in life that are blown by the wind of emotions and fate. She begins to understand humanity more that humans are always wrong when Wrong, what I want most is a new beginning, giving and forgiveness especially - from our loved ones.

It's not strange that when we grow up, we can forgive people easier. Not that we are kinder, but because we have been wrong. We are more sympathy for those who do wrong. See from our own corner, we know that father's words are true. " no one is perfect but at least there is something right

In some times of relationship, we may have to try this glasses to check that the person we feel bad about him. Does wrong in our eyes. Does anything " do right

As well, in our lives, in a dark condition that we have made before feeling worse about ourselves than we are. Should check if we have "right" things in the same.

...

While watching the lives of two father and children stay away. I don't feel that what they did was wrong or should forgive them all. At least their lives show that humans are like this. We may do wrong some time but no one is bad. Looking at a human friend like this makes us see the truth of man rather than to expect the ideal goodness. If that person does wrong, then we will curse him as a demon or evil, angry, hate that we don't want to see each other again.

That should not be. There is a simple reason.

Because I'm wrong or today or next day

And we need the same perspective for ourselves. Please look at me as human beings. There is good, bad, there is right, wrong, but always need is love, understanding and forgive each other.

...

The movie ended with a scene where Molly had an accident from the back of the surgery. She could see if she got up, but then she stood up again with the same father she hated so much. Again.

Traumatized, full body wound but got up and walked on.

She said the one thing she always had was " the spirit of never giving up

Which I believe - she got this from dadTranslated
