Did You Not Know That I Must be About My Father’s Business?

All things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be accomplished. However, the call of God can never be understood absolutely or explained externally; it is a call that can only be perceived and understood internally by our true inner nature. His call is simply to be His friend to accomplish His own purposes. Our real test is in truly believing that God knows what He desires. The things that happen do not happen by chance they happen entirely by the decree of God. God’s friendship is with the people who know their poverty. He can accomplish nothing with the person who thinks he or she is of use to God. As Christians, we are not here for our own purpose at all—we are here for the purpose of God, and the two are not the same. We do not know what God’s compelling purpose is, but whatever happens, we must maintain our relationship with him. We must do what we think it right, but the work we do is of no account when compared with the compelling purpose of God. It is simply the scaffolding surrounding his work and His plan. #RandolphHarris 1 of 6

God takes us aside all the time. We have not yet understood all there is to know of the compelling purpose of God. It is the nature of an anonymous correspondence to be attended with very disadvantageous circumstances: surprise and suspicion. Whatever philosophy and experience many pretend on such subjects, it is certain that one is disposed to be superstitious in respect to the secret influences that guide one’s fortunes, in the dark passage of the World. Be a human’s intellectual superiority what it will, it can never assume the practical, available supremacy over others, without the assistance of some sort of eternal arts and entrenchments, always, in themselves, more or less paltry and base. Humankind are not so depraved to hate anyone for being possessed of superior qualities, but when they find them worn with an assuming air. What can be true or can be done varies with the meaning of “can.” As far as philosophy is concerned, the important sense of the word (“could,” past indicative) fall into five major groups. For convenience, these groups, may be singled out as the “can” of ability, of right, of inclination or probability, of opportunity, and of possibility. #RandolphHarris 2 of 6

People of poor capacities are apt to be deluded by vulgar prejudices. You shall see people fly from place to place in the air; you shall be able (without moving or travailing of any creature) to send messages in an instant many miles off and receive answer again immediately; you shall be able to declare your mind presently unto your friend, being in some private and remote place of a populous city. You shall have notice of a New World, of many most rare and incredible secrets of nature, that all the philosophers of former ages could never so much as dream of. The “can” of ability has at least three subsenses: to have the skill—“He can speak five languages or paint lifelike portraits”; to have the requisite mental or physical power—“He can solve difficult problems, invent remarkable machines, or foretell the future,” or “He can swim a mile or do one hundred push-ups”; to have the requisite strength of character—“He can resist anything but pleasure, pass up a free drink, or bear criticism of his books.” The first years of man must make provision for the last. There is a higher sort of bravery, the bravery of self-control. #RandolphHarris 3 of 6

It is more important to detect corruption than fiction. Evermore be sure of being in the right, when thou presumes to sit down correct thy master. The “can” of right, which is often used interchangeably with “may,” has at least four subsenses: logically or axiologically can—“Equivalent formulas can be interchanged, salva veritate, in any extensional context” or “From this we can reasonable infer,” can in virtue of custom, agreement, law, and so on-“One can be prosecuted for saying that” or “An ambulance can disregard traffic lights”; permission-giving “can”—“You can borrow my car is you would like”; be permitted by conscience or feeling—“I can condone no willful act of destruction” or I can accept electrocution but not hanging. “Can” is also used as inclination or probability. Examples of the “can” of inclination or probability are “I was so angry that I could have killed him” and “That car could have made the trip across the country.” “Can” of opportunity. “He could have played chess had he know how,” “Come in here where we can talk,” and “The traffic in downtown Sacramento was so heavy that I could not cross” illustrate can of opportunity. #RandolphHarris 4 of 6

“Can” of possibility. The can” of possibility has at least first subsenses: consistency with knowledge—“For all that I know, Jones could have been the one;, whether it is possible for someone (compare with the “can” of opportunity)—“Can you get away for lunch?” the “can” of physical possibility—“If such-and-such has to happen, then it cannot fail to happen” or “A man, properly equipped, can survive indefinitely in outer space”; the “can” of logical possibility (compare with the logical or axiological use of the “can” of right)—“Nothing can be red all over and green all over at the same time”; conditional possibility (logical or physical)—“if the conclusion of a valid argument is false, not all of the premises can be true” or “In a deterministic system everything that can occur is necessitated by something else.” Many view aggression not as innate, but as a disposition fueled and governed by personal and cultural conditioning. According to social learning theory, aggression is a self-serving learned behavior: we assume we need or deserve something, and we find that we can get it—and sometimes even more—through being aggressive, whether directly or indirectly (as when we manipulate another into acting out our aggression).  #RandolphHarris 5 of 6

Some philosophers believe that humans are not much more than savages lurking beneath a flimsy veneer of socially acceptable behavior, whose inborn aggression threatened civilized society with violence, war, and disintegration. And to make matter worse, the instinct for aggression was unavoidably intertwined with the sexual instinct. If you had this time again, would you do it all the same, I wonder? If I could call you for a day, just to hear the words you would say, I would. Of those promises we made, is there anything you would change? Will not let these inhibitions stand in my way and these fears of plenty building up. I will not hold back these tears, I let them fall because everyone I have cried for you from feelings so natural so let us steel these lights from the stars and never let it burn out. I know we can make it. Meet me tonight here, I know we are going to run away, looking for a new place. I can feel a storm near and the dream will not go away. And though it all, I am on your side now. We will build a fortress to keep them out. And in a World gone silent I will be your sound and if they try to hurt you, I will tear them down. I am always with you now. And I am continually in touch with the reality of God. I must learn to live every moment of my life in my Father’s house. #RandolphHarris 6 of 6
