Happy New Year Y’ all ,
I have just slightly emerged from a weary and trying period, where
from nowheres, questions and ideas that seemed vague and hazy before,
jumped right in front of me and did an ‘in your face dude ! ‘
Christianity is a ‘perilous’ journey and with the stuff you see on the
internet these days can make you run fer spiritual cover!
Some christian websites are so harsh that they look like the spiritual
equivalent of adult sites. You see things that you dont normally read
or hear especially in church.
Like porn, the effects can be disastrous but God cherishes his own,
the elect, so no fear .
The elect also became part of the questions that were trying to
disrobe my church mind . I heard names like J Preston Eby, read some
stuff on calvinism and a bunch of other isms.
Please, before you go a googling this guy’s name or any theological
word within this article. be warned . Whatever you dredge up can be
quite “scary”.
God as the general all time omniscient good God, put in the
“Even the very elect will not be deceived” clause into his master journal.
He also gave us warnings about false prophets , ravening werewolves
and some surefire texts in the bible like the one good old Johnny came
up with, in the book of Revelations. I like to call it the book of
some really weird and scary shit!(my french is really bad this year, I
apologize ) this book also warns about smartasses doing an edit
,delete, cut and pastey thingy .
It also promises a lot of weird beasties if you do.
In times of weird ‘n scary stuff i go and read weird and scary books.
Revelations, always reminds me of the resurrected Christ and the
eternal body he is now encased with, which we groan for daily, i cant
wait !
The description of the Son of man amongst the candlesticks also shows
that Jesus aint no sissy !
I saw something on discovery on supermassive black holes (smbh)and I
got very ashamed of myself ,how can I have been made in the same image
by the guy that created these smbhs just By his word!
Yeshua said “If I be lifted up from the earth I will draw all men unto
me” is also a precursor to the idea that ALL men have been saved ,
The faith “name it and claim it and miracle healings” folks do not
agree with the J Preston Ebys of this world.
I ask who the heck are the folks that Jesus would say about ” …….I
never knew you ” even though your butts had done great and mighty
works, which is quite prevalent these days !
When I first realized that Adam the first man, was the fella that
bungled the eden joyride with Eve riding shotgun, us all in the
backseat with like a ‘what did he have to do that for?’ look. I got
very mad at Adam .
I forgot the faithful Evil dude Satan, who has a million akas and
wannabe Devils that would make even Freddy Krueger look like a Sunday
School teacher on palm sunday .
I shiver momentarily at this fellows abilities which were given to him
by who else but the big man upstairs!
Well I reckon he needed us overcomers to have sumthin to come, so we
could walk over or through it hence the word overcomer got coined .
If not for the fact that God has made me fearless, says so in the
scriptures . I would really, really run away from this Satan dude.
He is been around you know and he walks to and fro looking for
ignorant fools, it says so in the scriptures. It does it does.
I know Christians are known to be at each others throats but I see
that the Sunni and Shiite Moslems are still blowing each other up,
see Saddams Iraq.
Satan actually likes to stick his noose everywhere, whether you are
Christian, Muslim, Scientologist , Hindu, Buddhist or mass murderer!
We always think we are warring against flesh and blood. we know that
demons and stuff do exist but we actually ignore their pervading
influence on our wills. We simply always believe that the person is to
blame for the pain .
You know whom we should blame it is our ignorant selves! it is the
“forgive the executioner syndrome”. The hired gun principle .
“For we war not against flesh and blood but against principalities and
powers ……………..”
Suddenly, bara bim bara boom, it blew up right in my face there and
then ! kapeesh.
Once you realize this principle forgiveness takes a different
perspective, it becomes easier to contemplate!
It behove me to shudder that respected Christians like Joni eareckson
Tada (the famous quadriplegic ) dares to and calls Benny Hinn and co.
False prophets !
The Faith mongers ,The Baptists and the evangelists and the
charismatics and the …. All haranguing themselves and not only turning
the reason for Jesus into a literal and Debating society Crusade Rock
and Roll concert thingy that you begin to wonder, because it sure
looks like a hell of a lot to pick from who these money grubbing false
prophets are.
Who are we kidding ? some big preachers request huge amounts of money
to come preach at church conventions etc, they drive big flashy cars
and live in holly wood style mansions and some to boot have private
jets and live like kings and queens .
I aint got no problem with all that kinda prosperity but I dare say
and ask how did they come up with all that kind of money ?
Quick answer is from book sales , from seminars and lectures, from
offerings and tithes etc that you and I give , but I am not here to
talk about prosperity because I know this little verse that says be
content with such that you have .
Right now i wonder how to classify worldliness and loving the thingys
of the world.
Preacher man is wearing Gucci and rolex and has a Cadillac ‘n two
bentleys and he be saying in church he want a private jet too ! and
to explain it, you tell me that When Jesus was alive he was rich !
You begin to classify the Son of God, the one who owns everything and
use him and his riches and claim he was rich when he was on earth ,
that is amazing (TELL US SOMETHING I DON’T KNOW ! ) and you go on to
explain that the darned soldiers were fighting over his clothes !
You forget it was Herod that robed him up and sent him to pilate !If
God wanted him to be born into a rich family do ye think he couldn’t
have made Daddy Joseph win the darn Jerusalem lottery .
If you like nice thingys, just say so man and we would understand,
everyone likes the dollars, all them benjys, I sure do ! all that
prosperity bull explaining is supersizeme mammon on rampage !
Y’all then also holler about the healing thing, yet your butts are
reading the bible with glasses !
What I worry about is “babes” like me that would like to point out to
all of these plank eyed folks out there that the ministry or the Good
news is all about how God has reconciled himself unto us and if the
reconcilers (us) are not even reconciled who in the blooming world is
gonna take us seriously.
If J Preston Eby believes that all men are saved and the whole of
Christendom calls him a heretic , how does that affect you and me !
Am I gonna be sad that just because a fellow rocked his life with
drugs and stuff and got married a gazillion times and lived off the
fat of the land mostly Hollywood style, he still gets to go to heaven
! .
Ok lemme put it straight up, Let us use someone like slash (crazy
guitar dude in MJs dirty diana concert )
formerly of guns and roses. Or maybe the original bad boy Bobby Brown.
According to this dude J Preston Eby, a fellow like slash or the brown
bomber will end up in heaven without even becoming a Christian ! Well,
church Folks call the Eby guy a heretic etc and I also wondered at the
guys supporting arguments and quite mind boggling scripture to boot
too !
But the thing that kept on jumping into my eye was . And so ? Am I
slash’s God ,or bobbys, did I make him ? nope ! Heck, we are nothing
nothing if we don’t have him and vice versa.
So if he rocked and rolled all through his life and ends up in the
same place as me or you (yeah, we be for sure going to the good place)
“Which one come concern me ! ” This is a Nigerian pidgin expletive
that means in urban new Yorker “It sure aint none of ma darn business
!”
That is Gods business because he be raving somewhere about having
mercy on whom he digs but Christians shudder at this because they feel
that somehow they been shortchanged from all the partying, drugs and
wine women and song sorriness because of all the praising God and
choir practice and all the general goodie two shoes Dorothy in Kansas
versus the you are going down wicked witch of the west that comes
with the Holy Spirit ! (think this out in many directions just don’t
follow the yeller brick road , phew ! ).
I daresay being a druggie or an alcoholic or a womaniser aint as
pretty as you might think.I have done all of that and I tell you I
sure wasn’t enjoying myself ask another rocker that maxed it, good ole
smartass kingy Solomon and the wacky book of Ecclesiastes is your
eureka.
The other way to see all these reconciling jokers is also to look at
the ” name it faith and Claim it ” dudes ! Most of these are
downright uncontent folk, The bible tells us a lot of stuff that God
has already done things for us in the spirit world , Jesus hollered
out on the Cross
“it is finished ”
The same Jesus also rolled out a general all time pardon for his
killers and yelled a prayer that I am sure some people think was not
answered “Father forgive them for they aint got no brains ! ”
If you Benny Hinn guys can do miracles and stuff and raise folks from
the dead and a bunch of other Christian non David Copperfields cant,
well that is all well and Dandy .
It doesn’t make them less of Christians nor you guys the apparent
Super Christians (I have always wanted to be but keep forgeting I am )
.
Clark Kent either way you look at it was Superman whether he had on a
cape and tights or not.
I recently got my old big screen telly to work after it kept on
messing up time after time by not powering on .
I dinna have no money to spare to get the tv repair men , one
exhausting day after I had opened its circutry innards in sheer
frustration, i poked my daring screwdriver somewheres and it blew up
in my face .I got angry and shut it and I just commanded the darn
thing to work in Jesus name out of sheer anger and a lot of
frustration.
Switched it on and it has been working ever since ! does that make me
a Christian David Copperfield ? I don’t know, all I know is that I
believe God’s words about me and had just had it with the darn telly.
People see miracles and they go a running and screaming like injuns
dancing with wolves when signs and wonders are for thomas folks that
have very little or really teeny weeny faith !
Real Christians have divine health because the word says by his
stripes…. neither do they need miracle money because the Dada says’
I got the putting food on the Table bit, take it easy folks I is here,
Leave big Dada to get busy.’
I lived for a year once in London as a student not working and no
finances but God provided every time and sometimes quite to
overflowing !
Some folks where I was living thought I was some kinda scammer or
something but on the contrary, that is a testimony I will give
someday! I learnt how to scam the perfect scammer , Ignorance.
At the same time, The bible says that we shall cast out devils, we
shall heal etc so what the heck is anyone hollering about !
If you wasn’t getting healed Joni Eareckson, it don’t mean you should
call The Benny, a false prophet. And all the Bennys should not think
Joni and friends have little faith since a certain saviour once said
“With Little mustard faith ….. you know the story of the jumping
mountain and the casting into the sea bit !
Come on guys, at this rate Jesus is gonna take a bazillion years to
show up because some smart brother says he be coming for a bride , a
church that is more ravishing than a gazillion beyonces on a grammy
night.
In this case the Lambs Supper Wedding Bash .”the mother of all
parties” ala saddam (may God have mercy on his soul)
Open your eyes dudes. “We war not against Flesh and blood but against
principalities against powers against the rulers of the darkness of
this world, against spiritual wickedness in high heavenly places not
even low eartly places !” We are playing with the big boys .
From what I have heard about the eternal crib called the Lake of
Fire, I aint gonna be happy to let even my best enemies or someone
like his royal Naziness, the evil furher , mass murderer Hitler near
it .
It was created for Devils and demons. It is a real freaky place to
want to go to or get sent.
So even if J Preston Eby and the Joni earecksons are right or not,
lets all get out ze planks from our eyes before we go a yammering
about the speck in the eyes of our so called neighbors that we are
supposed to love as ourselves .
Then our pulpits and sermons will begin to make sense so that we can
get this Lamb Supper party thingy Started in this ole humpty bumpty !
Woo Woo !
reconcilingly yours
Frank
