Warning! This is going to be a controversial piece but I feel people need to think, to wake up finally. They need to be honest. So, if this article is TOO controversial for them or deeply Offensive. Then there is more reason for them to read it again, more carefully this time. To those who will hate this article, this is for you, with love.
Whenever a disaster or shocking event takes place; the religious start praying, the atheists look at the opportunity to prove there is no God, as He would not let X occur were He a Loving God and so forth. The Very Religious will say the event was due to the behaviour of Group Y or the failure to act of Group Z. That God decided the punish the homosexual, the Non-Christian, the whoever-it-is-popular-to-dislike-right-now.
I am, unashamedly, a Christian. I would, I suppose, consider myself a non-denominational Christian. I believe in the Philosophy and teachings of Yeshua ben Josue, not in a building or a group of people. In the Word of God Himself who is above such human fripperies as decor and language, days of the week and the type of music. I set to thinking, reflecting on current events, how people were praying and said they were praying for others yet nothing to prevent further atrocities was being done, nor would it be done. Not in today's America.
No-one was going to be brave enough to actually ACT. Why would they? If they pray hard enough then God will Reveal His Plan. If He wanted gun control, He would say so. He wants ALL violence control and anyone who has both read and believes in the Bible would know that. Christians of the Television do not count, nor do Sunday Apostles. Passing the buck to God and saying it was His Will is low and you WILL pay for that later. Then again, you don't REALLY believe in God so do not fear His Judgement...I hate hypocrisy that is why I remain non-Denominational because of the hypocrisy and the elitist hatred I see in so many churches. It angers me, it disgusts me and I am sure it would disgust Jesus too (just as much as he would find the continual depictions of himself on the cross distasteful).
Christianity is not some Sunday Club. It is not some Let's-Hate-The-Brown-People Society. It is not the Look-Down-Your-Nose-At-The-Unbelievers Meeting. It is not, especially Membership the of We-Are-The-Chosen-Everyone-Else-Damned Club. It's a sacrifice and an daily act of faith. God said "I love praise best when times are good, hear it most when times are hard." It is harder to thank Him for your abundance than to pray for your lack. It's easy to complain about what we don't have than be thankful for what we do. It is easier to blame God than blame other people or ourselves. God tends not to answer or point the finger back. Not yet anyway.
Maybe change will come but, in America, I doubt it. Life is meaningless agains the loss of profit, you all know that.
Here attached is what could happen if God, decided to reply to all the mess of prayers flying around these days, in A Letter to Humanity.
A Letter from God
To the Human Race Entire
(In Whom He is Sore Disappointed)
Terrible things have been happening in the world recently,
People have been asking me a lot of questions;
Why did You do this?
How could You let this happen?
Are You punishing us, Lord?
They pray, they say they will pray for others,
I, as always, listen to their words.
The difficult part is that I gave you; The Human Race,
My supposed Greatest Creation,
I gave you The Answer,
The One True Answer.
I sent my one true-born Son to Earth,
To teach you and you murdered Him.
I sent Him with a message of Peace and Cooperation,
Of Truth and My Laws,
You, as ever, did the opposite.
Long before then, I told you,
When I handed to Moses My Commandments,
That you were not to kill.
You killed My Son and even,
As you completely misused and misunderstood,
His message, made war in His Name and Mine,
You Murdered, you tortured and committed terrible acts, thinking I would be pleased.
You claim to follow the teachings of My Son yet, you did all I told you,
And He re-enforced to you NOT to DO!
Then you get upset when Evil flourishes.
When a man can murder innocents with,
Weapons of war in America, you are surprised.
He was allowed, the culture encouraged him to purchase
Those instruments of murder and you are surprised.
You divide white and black, all colours in between,
You divide by manner and by speech.
I made ALL men equal, not just those whom you resemble.
I made it clear when I sent you My Message,
My Son reiterated it in His Message also, that no Man is ascendant above any other,
Only I am Ascendant, Above and Superior as I am All Things.
Let no man think he can assume My Place or that he has that Right.
I hear of countries and peoples who feel I hold them in Especial Regard.
I love All Men equally for I am Father to you all.
Does a Good Father so obviously favour one of his Children above the other?
Does this Good Father allow the other Child to be neglected and suffer in Darkness?
A Bad Father is One who does these things and I am No Bad Father.
I am a Fair Father, a Good Father, the Father of All.
Humanity musat recall that I gave you the Greatest Gift of all,
Against that advice of that most rebellious of my Unborn Sons,
I gave you Free Will, I gave you agency.
It pleases me that you choose Good from Evil because you want to.
Right and Wrong, you decide by yourself to be Right.
I will never force you to Choose as Lucifer would have had me do.
I choose to Trust in you.
Yet, when an event which occurs that is Evil,
Everyone comes to Blame and Accuse of me,
As did Lucifer, as if I made the choices,
Which, by your Own Free Will, led you to err.
You accuse Me, your Lord God!
If you choose to steal, is that your Father’s fault?
If you fail in an endeavour, did you Father make that be so?
No! You made your choices, you followed your decisions through,
You made yourself the bed in which you now lie!
It is, in the World of Today,
The word, I suppose, is Fashionable,
To refuse to take responsibility for one’s actions,
Accept the consequences of those choices.
Consequences Will be coming, doubt this not.
There will be none as escape from My Judgement.
I will be looking at which direction you will be facing,
Towards My Throne or Away
From Me.
Natural disasters now, I can accept you complaining of those.
I can Understand how you think I did you Wrong in that regard.
Although I have more control of such matters than do you,
I am not Sending or Controlling EVERYTHING.
I Set Things in Motion and your actions as my Creation,
Make my task all the harder.
I balance and juggle,
Hotter here, colder there, more wind over there,
The balance is all wrong!
I Covenanted with you never to let Earth flood again,
I am trying to prevent it, I must make sacrifice.
You will NOT listen!
You follow NONE of my Laws,
Fight over interpretations of them.
I inspire people to Speak Out to you,
And you ignore them.
I am sending you a Message now,
Perhaps you will Listen this time.
You Remember I said that,
I will Help those who help themselves?
Nobody can, I think they left it out,
Of the Book, though I know not why.
I cannot, as Lucifer demanded,
Take over and do EVERYTHING.
What is the purpose of You without Free Will?
I might as well Remove Man From Earth rather than that.
You can pray to me, ask for My Help,
I will help you but I Need you,
The Human Race, to take Responsibility.
When a disaster occurs, band together!
Show the Love of Man to his Fellow Men.
Show Charity, show Goodliness.
When an Evil Man commits Evil Acts,
Show love and show Goodness. Do what is needed.
That such Evil can never raise its head again.
One cannot simply pray and wait for Me,
To Come Down from On High to fix things.
Have you not Read that if I were,
To set Foot Upon the on Earth
All would be destroyed?
I cannot, that is why I created you as I did.
Thou Shalt not blame thy Lord,
For thine own failings.
Thou Shalt not blame thine brothers,
For thine own lack.
Thou Shalt take upon thine own self,
The Right of thine own Acts.
Be responsible for them.
Pray to me still. Please do not stop.
But tell me that thou wilst do,
Then ask me to Help thee in doing that.
Use the Intelligence and the discernment,
I made thee with, and the Will also.
Be Responsible. Be Kind. Show Love.
Show Empathy. Show Fairness. Show Acceptance.
Thinkest thee not that if a people, or a choice of living I disapproved
Of a Nation, a People, of those whom you claim I Deeply Disapprove,
Whom live in a way which offendeth thee so greatly,
Thinkiest thee that I would be Incapable
Of Ending them as I have ended other Nations before?
I the Lord God,
Could wipe them from existence if I so Chose,
Without a bead of sweat marring my Divine Brow.
Yet I have not done so, I have not so chosen.
Do Not think to Accuse Me.
Do Not Second Guess My Choices
I Commanded thee not to Judge but I Will Judge,
Those who Ignored this Command.
Those against whom thou railest,
Shall have their own Reckoning with me,
In the Right and Due Time.
If a Man layeth with another Man and this offendeth thee,
Rebuke Him if it pleaseth thee,
But be aware of thine own self also.
Check thine own eye for imperfection fore looking in His.
Seek not to Judge or to Punish Him,
That Right is The Lord’s Only.
If Men Worship differently to thee,
Assume not to know My Mind,
Assume Less to Know My Plan.
Only One it is who knoweth
The Truth of All Things.
That One is not thee.
Thinkest thee that one must simply,
Attend a certain building upon the Sabbath
Sing certain songs, dress in a manner thou seest as seemly.
Follow the words of one who claimeth to Speak in Mine Voice,
So thou mayest Speak in that Voice to Please Me?
Act as I tell thee to Act, Read Mine Words to Thee.
Listen Thee not to how another tells thee how to Read.
I will Judge Men by their Acts, not their Words.
Not by the church they attend.
Not by the Name they Call Me By.
I am above such Human Concerns,
As I am Above the Heaven and the Earth.
By his Heart and his Soul,
Shall I Know him and Judge him,
Not by the Title he giveth his own self.
It is I, The Lord who shall Judge All.
Look thee after thine own House.
Look thee after thine own Manner.
Look thee after thine own Soul!
None but The Lord shall Seat in thine Judgement.
Only the Lord shall it be Sat in the Judgement of those others.
Thou Art no lawyer for Mine Private Ear.
I will Judge as I see Fit,
Not as thou thinkest to Advise me.
I shall also Judge thee,
As I think thou deserve.
Thinkest Thou I am Incapable of Seeing,
Without thine assistance?
Darest thee insult thine Lord Father so?
I have Heard and I have Spoken.
It is upon Man to resolve the problems of Man.
Upon the Lord God to Assist those Pure of Heart,
Upon their own Holy task,
Of Doing what is Right.
It is by thine Acts Alone I shall Judge thee,
The Acts of others concern thee not.
By your Acts Shall I judge only thee.
By their Acts I shall they and they alone Judge.
Forget this not.
Upon Mine Holy Spirit to Raise them Up and Inspire them,
Lend them Strength and Comfort them,
As they Walk in Goodness.
As they pursue the Good Work
Of doing what is Truly Right.
Begin that Work!
Sit not simply and wring thine hands in bitterment,
Stand thee up and Act!
