There is only one God

For man was not made for the world but the world for man. Once upon a time the discovery of fire was amazing to man. So was the ability to build huts, dwell in caves and make clothes. The earth, knowledge and science was made for man, not man for the earth, knowledge and science. Therefore all man has discovered since ancient days are just a tip of the iceberg, science can be right today and wrong tomorrow. Many have come and gone, nations have risen and fallen and still man does not know much at all. Even now with all these so called revolutionary discoveries( all was revolutionary at one time), we have discovered we’re destroying the planet. There is the theory of Evolution yet we haven’t evolved for centuries. Evidence can always be denied, discounted, and wrong when new evidence comes to light in science. After all science is trial and error. Science teaches us about our world but I don’t think it’s wise to worship fallible scientists who can get it wrong. Isn’t it better to worship a supreme God than man who is just as imperfect as you and prone to make mistakes. 

Once upon a time socerors,  prophets and priests, astrologers and philosophers were considered the wise men of nations. The Bible refers to them as wise men. Among God’s people the prophets and priests were the wise men, the linguists by which God spoke to his people. However, the modern age has decided the things of the past cannot be compared to the intelligence of the present day. Yet the self proclaimed or considered intelligent men of this age study the words and works of dead men like Pythagoros and Aristotle to make now discoveries. Electricity could always be made, man just didn’t know. Everything man makes always has a side effect against the Earth. Nonetheless, human discovery is god in today’s age. So humans are now their own gods. Pride has always been the fall of man, our hubris. Now even the wise men of the world who didn’t operate under God but of gods are considered stupid. Yet isn’t it wiser if you don’t worship the supreme God, to worship beings with supernatural power. Isn’t it even wiser to worship a living God with all power. 

Some worship mother nature, though it’s better to worship the supreme God. If you don’t it’s better to worship gods, yet this is the next best thing in terms of a wise decision. Nature is where mankind eats from, drinks from, builds from and lives on. 

Those who worship animals are next in terms of wisdom of worship. Animals provide pest control, skin for clothes, grazing, fertilisation, themselves as food, and give back to nature. After that those who worship man made things and money. These things bring profit. Next are those who worship being worshipped by other men, they live to gain the priase of others  so in turn those others can worship them. It’s a catch 22. The saddest of all are those at the bottom of the list who worship other men. Men like them who eat salt and pepper, who die without water. 

A common believe is that religion (self righteousness) not to be confused with the Christian believe in grace has caused many destructions in our world. That is true. Yet those wars had nothing to do with grace or Jesus Christ. They had everything to do with money, land and power. Jesus said God and Mammon (Greed, money, wealth) cannot be served together. Whoever serves one hates the other. Those people were storing up treasures on Earth, not loving God nor neighbour. False prophets coming in Jesus name. There’s such a thing as blood sacrifice even in the West beacons of modern intelligence. The bloods of slaves, natives, and ideginous, they called savages have built these lands and their coveted wealth. It’s not their superior discoveries of the human brain and intellect claimed. In this world the wealthy can bribe and push money to get more money. Even before the West dominated, the great kingdoms of the past, also slew blood to get rich. Survival of the fittest seems like another human being sacrificed in terms of their life and wellbeing for the benifit of another. It doesn’t seem like a better option than God’s message of love. 

Human beings love crime and punishment. Those who don’t believe in God, believe in prison, rehabilitation and deterrence. There are debates that whole generations being cursed is evil for the innocent should not  pay for a family members sin. Yet when a family member is sent to prison, the innocent in their family suffer. Statistical studies show they are more likely to have mental illnesses, poor health, early deaths, be poor, also commit crimes and struggle. Science is fortune telling and cursing. Aren’t nations and countries fighting against each other over wars fought by previous generations. Ask Osama Bin Laden, whether he got a right to a fair trial when he was shot in the head, without going to court. I’m sure his family are not living normal lives even though it was his sin. Almost everyone believes we must have a moral standard, we know that good should be done yet can’t always do it. There must be a reason.

 The church holds no perfect people. We are all sinners and need grace. Even in day to day life if you don’t believe in God you know you need grace. Reading the bible doesn’t make one special. No one has seen God because of their sinful nature according to the Bible. Yet Satan the Angel of the highest post knew God and his word, chose sin and sins willfully. The gods through the ages have been extremely legalistic, living under grace is much easier than their laws. Though they professed to engage in shenanigans, they thought humans shouldn’t disobey them. Disobedience came with swift punishment. The gods didn’t like destruction of nature where some resided, climate change can also be considered a curse. 

Whether men prophecy on what the weather will be. Doctors prophecy life expectancy and health. Astrologers and medicine men did the same thing. Native Americans recycled. Native indeginous people wore attire made out of leaves (cotton) and cow skin (leather) or the skin of animals. 

Education is only useful mixed with humility. Education mixed with pride is stupidity. Man was not made for education but education for the man. They say people have progressed but it seems moderners don’t have an open mind. They know it all because they’ve been to school, to study those who spent their lives learning only to not know all we know now, when we don’t study as much. Though Darwinism is popular. Just like the existence of a God or gods, Darwin can be questioned. The Bible says test the spirits. Darwin couldn’t walk with lions, elephants and ostriches like a certain ancient tribe who haven’t lost their roots in Namibia today. They know animals very well too. No matter how many schools or universities you’ve been to, degrees you have or  positions you’ve held. You can never be an authority on everything. Some worship Kant, Plato, Capitalism Communism, Liberalism, Socialism, Utilitarianism, Darwism, Education itself yet say there is no religion but worship the words of those men. Yet disbelief at those who have faith in God’s word. 

Sadly some in religious, Christian and non religious circles seek education for material possessions not knowledge, worship of other men and to manipulate others into submission for their prosperity  . 

Some say I’m very clever but I don’t think that’s the case.  God speaks and if you spend time in prayer, reading the bible and accept grace. God will show you great and mighty things, open your eyes. If you want real power in this world, not be intimidated, bullied, always win, defeat your enemies always, have wisdom and live abundantly. I’m slowly learning Christ is the only answer! Listen to what the holy spirit says to the churches and the world and see if it isn’t wiser than the wisdom of the wise. If you don’t know God and are sceptical of his existence. Dare him to show himself to you. Seek him with all your heart and you’ll find him.
