Certain mortals expostulate, “you all just repeat your teacher,” and “can’t you think for yourself and not just quote the doctrine?” I will not address these foolish allegations; I am merely painting a picture of the individuals who bombard us with nonsensical, purposeless questions. Though we offer precise answers, to them they are unacceptable.

A factology.com message-board participant did lots of wrestling and in their own words, “playing the devil’s advocate,” over whether or not miscegenation is sanctioned within our doctrine. It is not. Others addressed this subject religiously, scientifically, biologically, and as our story tells us. Yet, later – on another board, s/he came with this question: “...How does leviticus [sic] apply to us in terms of keeping our bloodline pure when it is already tainted?” Many importuners just cannot accept verities.

Furthermore, s/he suggested that we aspire to a “higher state of consciousness” and think outside of what they refer to as “the box.” The “box” s/he speaks of are our teachings. They are to be studied, pondered, and ingested that we may achieve maximum comprehension. They are not to be altered, nor redeveloped to fit our tastes and urges.

It fascinates me how adept some people are at sidestepping ascertained, corroborated answers. Much of their nitpicking comes from the many barriers faced when rendering ancient tenets into English, which frequently suffers from ‘a lack of a better word.’ Beware, as Dr. York-El edified, “when two people are conversing – one is winning, and the other is losing.”

I wondered who is worse for our growth, those who cling to and interrogate us, under the guise of being loyal or those who have departed hastily to spread spin and deliberate falsehoods. I surmise the former, inasmuch as at least we know where vanishers stand.

One may ask, “whose time are they wasting?” Ours. They are, knowingly or unknowingly, and efficiently executing their mission, which is to initiate turmoil that we may leave the “box.” A proven method of thwarting their plans is to return fire – question them as our teacher did with his “360 Questions...” series of books, which remain unanswered.

We certainly appreciate and enjoy helping sincere seekers. However, others, as an unknown prudent master deemed, “should not ask questions to which they cannot handle the answers.” Will not they learn that their arms are too short to “box” with the teachings of God?
