There used to be a merchandising slogan WWJD (What would Jesus
Do?).
Well enough, every thoughtful Christian wants to follow Jesus'
example.
As a trite slogan however it seems to have a soft appeal. Because
"the
love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy
Spirit who was given to us," I sympathize. I tend to like
everyone,
Christians and those different from me as well. However this
slogan
seems complicit with a move to cultivate lovey, kissy, soft Christians
lacking any spark of righteousness so as to be angry at the wickedness
that they see around them. Instead many embrace it.
However, Jesus did not always act and speak softly. Often too he
had
sharp words and actions against wickedness. Remember that Jesus
called
the Pharisees and Sadducees the children of the devil and went into the
Temple with a whip and drove out the moneychangers and overturned their
tables. (John 8:44, John 2:14-15)
If Jesus called righteous people faulted by a lack of mercy the
children of the devil, what would he say of the current radical
takeover of the West. If I called these radical activists the
spawn
of
the
devil,
would not Jesus do the same? These hatch lings are everywhere
advocating that perversion should prevail against decency, to pollute
families and children, and to punish God's people for their
opposition. Wasn't this attitude the same as those who pressed on
Lot's house for an opportunity to violate someone to gratify their
lusts.
Even if they lacked mercy, at least the Pharisees followed God's
law.
Now much of the professing church advocates, enables, and even
participates in the most abominable sin. It has gotten so bad
that a
short time ago the Lutheran Church of Iceland promoted a bearded
lesbian Jesus. This bearded lesbian Jesus is really the devil in
disguise. What god do you serve? Would Jesus speak softly
to a Church
complicit with these things? No but rather Jesus said:
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall
enter
into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father
which is in heaven. ... And then will I profess unto them,
I never
knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. (Matthew 7:21,23)
What would Jesus say about the current liberal method of destroying
resources to ensure that their replacement with preferred and usually
inferior ones can't be reversed. Obama destroyed the coal
industry
this way because it was right in his own eyes. We were "using a
trampoline" to get to the International Space Station while waiting for
as yet unestablished commercial ventures to replace the space shuttles
that were sent to the museum. Now Biden declares an intent to
create
an irreversible path to "clean" energy that threatens the oil
industry. This is much the same activity as one in a parable of
Jesus
who tore down his barns to build bigger ones only to die before the
replacement was complete. To this one Jesus said "thou fool."
(Luke
12:16-20)
This particular foolishness pursues a chimera (unattainable illusory
goal). It is understandable to fear the increase in natural
disasters,
however it is easily established that carbon is not the villain.
A
temperature rise of only 1 degree Celsius beginning in 1800 mostly
happened before the year 1955 that is stated for the beginning of
carbon's effect. Many scientists cite this as well other
arguments as
support for a dissenting opinion. Yet other scientists say that
the
current warming trend is part of a larger warming going perhaps back to
the last ice age. Consensus then seems like a political opinion
that
his chosen its pundits and declared their rightness. How much
money is
required to fight an irresistible force of nature? Some say as
least
300 trillion dollars. Instead all the wealth of the world might
not
fix it and it would wrong the citizens of the world to foot the bill.
Then the electric cars touted to save us also have a fatal flaw.
Expensive lithium batteries lose considerable capacity with use.
I
thought I remembered a datasheet specification of 65% capacity
remaining 650 charge/discharge cycles. When I examined another
datasheet, I found 60% capacity remaining after 200 to 300 cycles for
some high current conditions instead. The poor people the
advocates
support are put in a bind. By the time a used electric car drops
to an
affordable price it will have no range, the owner unable to afford a
new battery. As with welfare this "love" for the poor is
dysfunctional
trap.
Moreover, the current White House seems bent to destroy much of
traditional America, Christian values and freedom, and the prosperity
of a free market economy, to replace it irreversibly with one party
secular socialism and that radical and perverse.
In the middle of this, I feel like Lot in Sodom and Gomorrah with
wickedness maneuvering to deprive me of my rights. And although I
prefer the goodness of God and not his wrath, I know that all this evil
brings severe judgment. Instead of climate change, the wicked
weather
and other signs bode an approaching tribulation.
What would Jesus do? He would rebuke the modern evil and call
everyone to turn from this evil.
He would also tell your soul is at stake. Search the Bible
yourself and see that God does not deal lightly with sin.
