The new Exodus and our theological naivety

 

If you do not know where you are going, any road can take you there. If you do not know what you and your fellow faithful have to go through, the devil's road can take you there too. Yet, if you do not want to be lost in the middle of nowhere, neither knowing how to go forward nor backward - as a lost infant, you need to have a clear understanding of where you are going.

 

Yet knowing that the Promised Land is north of the Sinai Desert of Egypt, however, does not also mean that you have to take that shortcut. Besides knowing your destination, which will keep you in check and can give you guidance on how to self-correct yourself, you also need to know your current position. If the people with you are wrongly built, for example, you need to have a long detour around the Red Sea to build them up before you can march toward the Promised Land.

 

In general when you plan your ways: know your starting state (A), know your destination (B), and then find the best path that can take you from point A to point B. Whatever you plan, your plan needs to be built on the current reality that you are facing (A), with the view of moving the current reality to a different reality (B), and then you have to find the best path (strategy, and tactic) that can move you from point A to B. 

 

Furthermore, since you are a soldier marching within the larger army of the lord, in which the ways of heaven are far removed from the ways of humans (which includes you), you need to make sure that your ways are always synced with wider operations of heaven. Even if you do not know what God is doing in every minute and every second, you need to have a bird's eye view of what God is doing; then after, you need to synch yourself with that. When God is marching into the desert, do not try to go back to Egypt. When God is trying to teach you in the desert, do not cry about the useless onion of Egypt, therefore. 

 

Most importantly do not have an insect mentality. An insect that has few days to live does everything in a rush and expects everything to be done fast, as time is running away too fast. Insects find a mate in days to reproduce themselves, but that would be stupid for man to do as such. The world of human beings is too complex, so they need a longer horizon to plan things, say finding a life partner and having children. God lives forever and his problems are much more complex, compared to our problems. God is playing a complex and multidimensional chase, in which we are the pawns with only the skill of moving forward. What we want, therefore, is to move forward and we cry, 24/7, about moving forward. But God cannot play foolishly to let us move forward so he can lose us, and may be his game too. That is why we have to move at the tempo of God not at our tempo. Patience, therefore, is critical when working with God as your lifespan is the lifespan of an insects compared to lifespan of the everlasting almighty and holy God.

 

To summarize things, we need to know where we stand (our current reality), we need to know where we are going (the future reality we expect to build), and we need to find the best path (strategy and tactic) for that, given that the ultimate planner of everything is God and that we have to move at tempo of God. Our final destination is to build an army of faithful who accept the lord Jesus Christ as Lord, who are born again in spirit, and who are disciples of the lord to imitate him in word and life, through a spiritual growth process. This is our final destination in which the image of the lord will be printed on the face of each faithful and the bride will be ready for the king.   

 

Our current status is a disgrace. The quality of assemblies of the lord is very poor standard, the quality of the faithful (which includes us) is shameful, the quality of servants of the lord is discouraging, sin is rampant in the world, the world is moving from faith toward atheism, love is history, honesty is talk of the past, justice and fairness are political, truth is molded to fit propaganda, and kindness is dying out. Side by side, science is progressing with observable fruits and technologies, while theological schools are becoming an endless stream of ignorance, conspiracy theories, fear of technology and science, and playing ground of less intelligent people who are not ashamed to broadcast their scientific ignorance, in the name of the lord, to everyone.  

 

Nothing is surprising about the world, the world is the world expected to come in the bible. Wisdom is increasing as it is written in advance, sin is increasing as it is written in advance, love is declining as it is written in advance, and people are listening to what they want not what is true as it is written in advance. Nothing, therefore, is surprising about it and most of us were part of that world to be surprised by it.    

 

What is surprising is us. Rather than fighting the premature closure of science and atheism, with the word of God and the Bible, we fight it with our ignorance and lack of scientific knowledge. It is a shame when generations are lost to the world, science, and atheism, our tools are our ignorance and lack of knowledge. Can our ignorance move those lost souls, who are much smarter than us, toward God rather than stamping their atheism as legitimate? It seems that the dumpiest kids in the school, who now run theological colleges, are trying to teach the smartest kids, in the school, about the devil's work around science and technology, which the smart kids are progressing and developing. If our God is the God of your ignorance and your lack of trace of intelligence, it is hard to defend such God in the face of smarter people compared to us. If you are very ignorant and shamelessly stupid about what they know for certain, how can they believe you on what they do not see, but you know is true? Besides, stupid religious people, like you dear, linking every technology and innovation with the devil is a very common and reoccurring event, like days of the week. When Monday of innovation happens, your Tuesday of stupidity follows, every week of the year. Your stupidity, therefore, is very common like sunrise and sunset; just you are the new stupid of this age.

 

I think theological schools are becoming playing grounds of school dropouts and contemplation places of ignorant people. God does not pick people by intelligence but by heart; so, you could have a good heart for the word of God and the life of God. So focus on the word of God and the life of God, the life of Jesus. Show them that born-again faithful are different seeds by living the life of the lord, so they can see the glory of God in you. Preach the word and live the word, so people can see the perfection of our God, which is the only God there is. I know you will not listen because the devil that took you to the monastery will not stop until he makes you pope too, but we also have to light the light of the lord against all darkness, including you. I hope to save you from you, but not sure if you will ever listen.

 

We were supposed to have the gospel of peace as a shoe, the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the utility belt of truth, the shield of faith, and the sward of the word of God to fight the spiritual forces of darkness. Now we have ignorance, lack of intelligence, fear of science and technology, and pure stupidity to fight the dark side. Can those things help the faith, rather than giving you purpose in your directionless life? Do you think you are fighting the dark side? Let me give you breaking news, dear, you are working for him. Too much discussion about devil this and devil that, and secrete society this and secrete society that is not from God. The Bible and the lord never focus on the devil but on God. Not on the world but on the word of God. We know which books focus on the devil and we know who wrote them. The light in you, dear, is nothing but darkness.

 

Devils are everywhere and we know they will work 24/7 for destruction of the faith and the faithful, in whatever method they can use which is not my business. I am not general in the army of the lord and you neither are. I am solder, as you are. That is why I let God deal with devils, and I sleep like a baby in the hand of God. Then after, I focus on my trench to fight the war in front of me like a soldier. I don’t sit on my trench contemplating how the wider war is going on, without any knowledge and information while being armed with my stupidity and lack of intelligence. What I am saying is, dear, I am not the foolish you; as I don’t fight the wind but I become wind.

 

Focus on what you can be and what you can do, and know God is the lord of armies, not you. If there are things to be known about the devil and his schemes, God will let you know. Why don’t you focus on what God wants you to be, therefore, rather than on areas where you are not wanted? People don’t know God is real. So, show them God in you, and be ambassador of the lord by shining the light of the lord on you. Love God, love your fellow faithful, love your companions and friends, and love your enemies. Be just, be kind, be fair, be honest, and be righteous. Show the goodness of God in your life. Have the salt and light of the lord to fight the devil in your trench.

 

The devil can generate winds, waves, hurricanes, and floods around you, but since you are established on the foundation rock, the life and teaching of the lord and you listen and practice the commandments of the lord, you will stand firm. The Lord did not say that we should build conspiracy theories about winds and hurricanes of the devil, no he said that we should be built on his (Jesus’s) foundation. Build yourself on the foundation of the lord, therefore.  

 

If you are born again, by accepting Jesus as lord, and you obey him, as lord, by living by his commandments, you will be like the wind that nobody knows from where you are coming and where you are going. Since you are born again in spirit to be connected with God through the Holy Spirit, and since you obey God to follow his lead rather than your ignorance, nobody, which includes you, will know from where you come and where you are going because who can understand the heart of the Lord Jesus Christ. Dear, you have the heart of Jesus.

 

Jesus came to blind the devils and to give us his sight, through the Holy Spirit, so the blind (us) can see and those who see (devils) can be blinded. What we need is not conspiracy theory of stupid minds contemplating foolishness in theological schools, but the way of God, the way of heaven, and the way of the Lord Jesus Christ. What we need is to be born again in spirit and to obey God by following his commandments. When we do that, we do not judge the way we see or listen but we judge by the mind of the lord. At that point, our understanding of the devil will not be built on our school dropout brain and conspiracy theory that we toy around, but by heart of the lord, eye of the lord, and intelligence of the lord. Dear, you are a child of God. God, therefore, will order his angels to make sure you are safe. So stop the devil-hunting joke that you play around with, be a child of God by imitating the lord.

 

I am a sheep of the lord who is shepherded by the lord and I, therefore, do not spend 24/7 watching foxes and wild animals like wild donkeys. For my good, dear, I am domesticated sheep and I have the rest of Sunday of the Lord, as a result. That is why I do not watch around for foxes 24/7, I follow the lord 24/7. My focus is to be synched with the lord so I can obey the lord as lord and I can respect the Heavenly Father as the Father, and I know my shepherd will give his life for my life. My focus is forward on God, therefore, as my back is watched by God.

 

See science and technology, its fruit is its justification. Yes, there is premature closure on their logic about God and spirit, but you do not fight premature closure with ignorance and stupidity but with truth, the word of God, and the life of God. Now see you, as a theologian and your institutions as theological schools. What is your fruit? What is the state of the faith? Your fruit is witness to your incompetence. Therefore what we need is more of God, the word of God, the life of the lord, the commandment of the lord, and less of your ignorance, incompetence, and lack of any trace of intelligence. Peter, somebody has to tell you “Stop it, devil!” Your ignorance is religion to you, yet how many smart and intelligent people have to be lost because of it? Is it worth it?
