What is wrong with the world?
Poverty? Famine? War? Disease? Inequality? Racism? Sexism?
NO!
The results of the problem are not the problem.
Evil is in the heart. It is nowhere else. An evil thought is in the mind but only as a thought. The actual evil is within the person as the person.
The very idea of “social justice” is the notion that good and evil are external. They are thoughts affirmed by those who do the thinking for you.
Actual justice is entirely personal. It is indistinguishable from freedom except as a concept, which is neither, for concepts are thoughts. If our opinions decide good and evil then those in power decide what is good or evil because only their opinions matter.
How do you treat people when you have power over them? Do you brag about your power? Do you use it to control these people? Do you expect them to acknowledge that you have power over them?
Unlike you, the Holy Spirit does not have power. He is power, all of it. He is the Lord of Spirits because he is very thing that effects everything. He is also goodness itself.
It is assumed by this world of sin that evil is stronger than good. This is because the sinners rationalize their evil as goodness. They have a right to be thieves and murderers, for whatever reason.
The Holy Spirit is unreasonable. Your wages of sin are death whether you had a right to sin or not. You shall burn for your wickedness, because you are flammable for it. Blaming others shall not avail you, for the Lord of Spirits does not hear you. He does not see you. You are not even a “blip” on his “radar” for he is everything and you are nothing.
The Son of Man is your only hope. He is goodness as a
man. He is the Holy Spirit as the one who sees and hears you. He is the Ancient
of Days as your friend.
Exactly, salvation is only through the redeemer. We only get one chance to "Fix our hearts or die", Jesus is The Way. To reject him is to reject our one and only chance. In the name of Friendship, Justice shall be done.
ReplyDeleteYes! The rules do not matter on Judgment Day. Damnation is to satisfy the anger of the Lord of Spirits. It was the will of the Father to satisfy this anger without losing everything. Jesus died the death meant for everyone else. His death can be yours. If so, his life shall be yours.
DeleteHey, I really like that pic. I never saw that before. Why even have a Holy Spirit if nobody ever acknowledges it as a separate person.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Humans have a nasty habit of dehumanizing Jesus into a smiling yet dispassionate above-it-all and dismissing the Holy Spirit as God's out-of-body experience.
DeleteThose who have power are responsible for how they use it. The ones who abuse it show who they really are, because they can do better. To use it for good requires being better.
