HAVEN'T YOU NOTICED?

It just came to me to ask people a question that I answered within myself long ago. That question is a fundamental question that goes straight to the heart of personal lifestyle, attitude, and how we treat our fellow citizens. It goes directly to the respect we have for our neighbors, the authority we submit to, and the direction we would go, as well as teach our children.

The question is this:
Haven't you noticed that the people who believe that America is the Problem; that America is so wrong; that America must be radically changed to a society that is more open to and more tolerant of unearned privilege, unearned leisure, raw and animalistic sensuality, greed, laziness, and even outright criminality; that those same people are not ashamed to express disrespect, and even hatred, for people who exalt Honor and Integrity and Honesty, submission to good laws, speaking out against bad laws; that those same people are not in the slightest ashamed nor afraid to declare their hatred of Christianity and Judaism?

(there is always a “they”)
They speak with flowing words that would seem like butter and honey melting on your tongue; about liberty and choice and love. They speak of tolerance, yet they themselves are intolerant of any who will not go along with them. They have great logic in their talking points; a logic that seems so lofty and liberating. Yet, they hide the fact that to follow their path is to be made slaves of passion; brought into the bondage of undisciplined whim and addiction.

Loving your neighbor as you love yourself does not mean giving them permission to do as they please. So frequently, when you love someone, you must tell them when they are going astray. Loving God is not the Problem, it is the Answer. Promoting Morality based on Concrete Values is not the Problem, it is the Answer. America is not the Problem, it is the Answer.

Let me get this straight. You consider yourself and all men to be sinners, not worthy, yet you condemn people who say our problems are our own fault?

Which is it, preacher man, are we sinners or saints?

It depends on "which side of the fence" you're on, northton. ALL people are sinners, Christians are just forgiven.
Arky, Oh YEAH, I've noticed, I think THEY fall
under the categories of "Liberal," "Pagan," and "the blind leading the blind." The "I'm Okay, You're Okay," "mentality" of "don't want to hurt any-one's 'wittle fweelings'," lackadaisical society of limp-wrists, milk-toast, spineless jellyfish, who have FORGOTTEN, or refuse to acknowledge what falls in between the Books of Genesis and Revelation.

Right from the START, northton, you assume I am condemning. Wrong! I have no right to condemn.  I am simply asking the question, “HAVEN'T YOU NOTICED?” because I have so noticed. We understand that mankind - all of mankind - is fallen from grace because of disobedience and rebellion against the Creator.

Individuals are offered redemption on the basis of Faith, and Committed Acceptance of the terms established by our God, which include being honestly sorry for having followed our nature rather than His Calling; open declaration of the Decision to follow God's terms, for the purpose of making oneself accountable to like minded persons; and submission to a lifelong “schooling” process which is accomplished by the Spirit of God working in conjunction with the avid study of Scripture.

(cont)

We are all His Creation, but not all are His children. The first chapter of the Gospel according to John tells us at verses 12 and 13, “Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, he gave the right to become children of God -- children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.”

The “Him” referred to here is Y'shua (Jesus), the only human physically fathered by Almighty God (YHWH; Jehovah) "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven, that has been given among men, by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12)

Salvation from what? Salvation from condemnation – the commutation of the finding of guilt - at the Day of Judgment.

Dear A,

We may all be His Creation... BUT... We are ""NOT""... All HIS Children!

(John 8:44) You are of the Devil as father, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and did not abide in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own, for he is a liar and the father of it.

As America has NO COMPASSION on the "35,000,000=Thirty Five Million BABIES... Killed in their Mother's Womb.. HOW THEN... can we have compassion on One Another???

Thanks, Roger459.

The very reason we are opposed is because the Satan is real. He is the fallen Angel who was named Lucifer - The Light Bearer - who stood in front of the Throne of Power - the Throne of Almighty God - for untold aeons.

For reasons not explained (I would propose the possibility that all that power coursing through him finally caused a “glitch” in his psyche), he became narcissistic to the extent that he believed he could take the throne. He proceeded to persuade one third of the other angels to join his rebellion, and their rebellion was cast down.

God, in His Wisdom, created a new race of Creatures, endowed with free will to choose the path they would pursue, whether in Willing Service to Himself, or in following the Rebellion of Lucifer and his adherents. We are that race. It is and always shall be the prerogative of the Good Lord, whether an explanation is revealed to us or concealed from us, as He is Sovereign over the Cosmos. But, this we know: along with free will, we are endowed with a consuming curiosity. Thus, Mankind is a race of explorers – explorers of our environment, and explorers of and seekers after knowledge.

My study of Scripture, and the guidance of God's Holy Spirit (Holy means “dedicated”) have shown me that those who choose the difficult and sometimes seemingly herculean path of being fitted for the Eternal are transformed (as by metamorphosis, similar to caterpillar/butterfly) into a new body designed with certain physical aspects (the five physical senses, and the ability to consume food), yet capable of metaphysical movement. Our purpose is that we will be Ministers and Priests of the Cosmos, subservient only to the Almighty himself; having a compassion born in the knowledge of our own propensity to rebel and to stray; yet, now – after graduation - endowed with the power to resist all temptation of evil.

Sadly, those who have refused the path, and failed the judgment, will be cast alive from the presence of God, to float incommunicado through eternity with only the memories of their lives and the knowledge that their choice had brought them to such an end.

[I believe the Constitution of the United States, including the first ten amendments (as originally written) and subsequent amendments passed by prescribed process, are the only legitimate law of this Nation UNDER GOD; that the tenets of our Constitution can be plainly understood by The Common Folk, as well as the erudite; and that those who would change those plain meanings by any craft or crook are Traitors to us all.]
