How about that deadly history repeating!

eejoseph, ,

It has become popular for people to see history as purely cyclic.  The increase of knowledge is not uniquely new: the ancients developed technology equal to and exceeding modern innovations.  Aircraft, factory machinery, gadgets and computers are simply the return of ancient wonders.  The notion in religious beliefs is especially abominable.  To think that God does not have a day of reckoning for all humanity, or to take a position that the annual cycle in Israel, Egypt, Cambodia, India, China, Africa or America keeps going is a pipe dream that denies justice and equity.  The virulent crimes of nations have a day of gloom and darkness just as surely as individual wickedness has a day for repentance and be salvation.

  • Genocide in the Caribbean, Asia, Africa, the Levant, North, South and Central America
  • Africans hauled across the ocean to become unpaid labourers
  • Jews expelled from Palestine by a worldruling power
  • Police mowing down hundreds of unarmed protesters
  • Superpower invades small island nation
  • Vile criminals elected to political and law enforcement office in North America
  • Massacre of protesting students in China
  • Pale skin men enshrining in their nation’s constitution that Africans are 3/5 human
  • Police fabricating crime in order to build the case for states of emergency
  • A man journeys westward to become a nation that terrorizes the neighborhood
  • A nation executes its king
  • World War II
  • Canaanites find themselves on the chopping block

We die so we can live. That is the arrangement that glorifies God. Positive thinking is the lunch of a fool who had no breakfast and does not care for supper. Keeping the faith is not using what we have. Faith is the thing God introduced, sparingly in ancient times, but full blast in the unveiling of His pleasure.

Delimiting God and self = nobody needs to be saved

The Gift from God is his Son for the salvation of individuals from sin. Try positive thinking sin and rebellion away! You know that is neither the way, nor the truth, nor the process nor the soutce of life. We have to deny Christ to drive that car. That is why “Jesus” is a tack-on in many books, sermons, and soundbytes. Denial of the truth leaves people scrounging for the things of this life, victories and changes of standing in society.

Positive thinking is a fool’s lunch

If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, 15) and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? 16)
