Whole Lotta Love

Hey Everyone,

I’m so tired of living in a world of Pseudo belief, a world where we say we believe in God as we bow down to ourselves. It is a world where we blame God for all the things that our rebellion has caused while at the same time telling ourselves that we are not as bad as they say- they, of course, being the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost who are still contemplating taking the last train to the coast (of some other galaxy).

In this world of pseudo belief and imaginary truth the human race has only committed a misdemeanor and if we are going to make it to the finish line we all need to get out our brooms and sweep those inconvenient truths under the rug. In this world we can simply talk people into being good. We can bomb people into being good because, well, people want to be good after all.

We are good when it comes right down to it the only thing that stops us from acting that way is a lack of government funding and the inequality of society. We really can all just get along. And squishy gooey emotions will take us boldly where no man (now person) has gone before: Peace on earth goodwill to man (persons).

I know such ideology sells books, wins elections, and fills the Bridgestone arena with the gullible that still believe pseudo God wants us to be healthy, wealthy, and wise with a twitch of the nose and no work or desire or need to change on our part.
When I was a child I thought as a child, I reasoned like a child, I whined like a child and I didn’t want to grow up.

In the world of the God of scripture (which I know has been rewritten by men who want to ruin a good thing with doctrine and truth) the human race, each and every one of us, has committed a capital offense against God. We deserve death for our rebellion because it runs so deep that it is a part of our DNA and can never be repaired. We have to die if we are ever going to live. We can’t get along because we love death more than we love life. That’s just who we are now and if I can’t be king then nobody will. Truth is the mess that is this planet is our fault because we love death even as we say we want to love everybody.

The only remedy is the brutal murder of an innocent man from a non-guilty new race of humans for the sins that altered your DNA. He dies for you and you get raised from the dead in him. You become a new human being with untainted DNA. You get washed in the blood. Contrary to gooey squishy emotions that is the only hope for the human race: ONLY hope. Justice is the only hope. Law is the only hope. And these two things are the only way to love a dead and dying world: Law that provides a way of redemption coupled with justice that provides the bloody sacrifice. From there grace applies the lawful remedy to whosoever will chose to die to death and walk on the path of life.

It’s too bad that the church has forgotten the foundation upon which it is built. I think Jesus may have been listening to Led Zeppelin this week. I hear him calling out to his pseudo bride:

You need coolin', baby, I'm not foolin' I'm gonna send ya back to schoolin' Way down inside, oh honey, you need it I'm gonna give you my love. I'm gonna give you my love, oh.

Once we become a part of the new human race we have to be schooled in the ways of love, lawful, truthful, absolute love: That has to come from way down inside at deeper than DNA level. We have to let that love permeate our being until we are abiding on the path of life with every step we take.

True love, real, godly true love, obeys the commandments. Jesus said: If you love me keep my commandments – guess what all the commandments are his commandments because he also said I and the Father are one, Not a prequel and a sequel: One, the same: exactly the same. (But of course we can never really know what Jesus said or didn't say because well the bible isn't completely true, what is truth anyway? All you need is love, not truth, truth isn't knowable after all -Have we really regressed to the 19th century?)

We seriously need some coolin’. I hope he enrolls us all in the schoolin’ of tough love and hard knocks real soon before the squishy, gooey emotion people get us all blown to smithereens in World War 29.

By the way law and justice are the only real love and contrary to popular opinion they will win and every enemy to them will be made a footstool for Jesus.

Grace and the peace that comes from the victory of the one and only King of Kings,

Brad
