From a song by yours truly and son…
Snowflakes and flaky people love it where the air is warm
Floating every which way, without collision means no harm
One floats to earth, the other flies
No mind of their own, the thought’s appalling
Riding cloud nine’s hot air, rising and gently falling
People with lots of religious books beside the sacred texts also are known to have a lot more than others to say. These guys are in the warm zone. Exactly how many of these persons with sacred text and their own books are actually literate does not take a guess. There ain’t no 39 book collection that satisfies flaky people. Is there a 27 book collection that people find satisfactory? No! All the people who claim to believe the Bible, the 66 books of the Old and New Testament, are flaky when they insist that there are other books that people need to read. We ought to know that truth has been in the house ever since Christ built his house. The circulating air moving secular and sacred texts around is going to warm up, all the way to hot.
No mind of their own?
When we say someone is mindless we are not insulting them. God made brains for high level and low level operations; so let no one impress you that they have information to which no one else has access. If you, like me, ever bought that lie, you are in eternal danger. When membership means asking no questions and just doing as you’re told you are in a cult of death. “Dying to self” has become an essential plank in the deluding of souls. You probably believe that you need to deny your DNA, your ancestry, your humanity, your nationality, your individuality and your consequently, all accountability. What can God demand of you when you deny your personhood? You have no SELF for God to use, and no uniqueness of person to interact with other humans. You are willing to forget that Christ saved you, which allows you to deny that you are saved. Consequently, many find no rest, no peace, and remain juvenile and in bondage.
Kid blowing in the wind
Let us be aware that there are countless screwed up “kids” with access to mass scope implements and vessels. They are called in the net set by false prophets. In the net are presidents, prime ministers, rabbis, gurus, imams, prophets, apostles, pastors and, yes, juveniles who have not even learned how to eat their daily bread with fingers, spoon, or fork. The cycle of activity gives the impression of energy and heat, but looks can be deceiving. Thankfully, God’s ceiling is not a lot of words but genuine love, that is, caring for the others. Paul’s teaching on the spoiled and fallen brats is not difficult to understand.
Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: (Galatians 4:3)
How different from the children are the grown-ups?
9. But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? 10. Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. 11. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain. (Galatians 4:9-11)
To be saved, people all across the world and in every age need God’s grace to save them. They await a judgment – a verdict – of grace that forgives and adopts. This is why the moment Christ died graves were opened and the saints from ancient times rose to life. All of the rest, the thousands of words written, amount to a lot of hot air, because the apostolic witness, written and kept safe for us for two millennia is more than enough. You do not have to be a snowflake.
