June 8, 2003 We will have God as Father, or else we must have State as father. These are the only two options that history, secular and Biblical, gives to us. If we settle for State as father, we will be made to understand that the church as state and the state as church is one-and-the-same. It comes down to following the written law because we fear to break it or because we know it is right to follow it. Once we no longer fear the written law, we can do away with right and wrong, and replace it with what is Ideologically Correct. Ideological correctness is what father-state would have us accept because what is 'right' this year may not be practical next year. This highly fluid righteousness is even more hideous than at first it seems. While it is bad enough to have 'right and wrong' change from year to year, once a society becomes acclimated to Ideological Correctness, the rules will change from person to person. Some will be more equal than others, depending on what they believe. The idea of what is right and wrong ultimately is a matter of what one believes is right and wrong. We must respect God, or fear the State. The problem with socialism/secularism is God. They see God as an idea to be used, or done away with. At no time do they see God as a person to be respected. If God is a person to be respected, He will not allow socialism/secularism to be successful. Since God cares about us, He will not let us long be fooled into trusting self-salvation. Self-salvation is what God has been against since He turned Adam and Eve away from the Tree of Life. Adam and Eve's children, until this day, have been working on putting forth plans to save themselves. This effort is always clothed in religious garb; it is an emotional and spiritual effort. Note their vehicles: Save the Children. Save the Women. Save the Worker. Save the Minority. Save the Whale. Save the Owl. St.Paul said we would worship and serve the creation--rather than the Creator. Self-salvation is what God warns against, and then lets us rush toward. Note the rules: Don't disrespect a person based on race, gender or sexual orientation. Don't use racial language. Don't fool with women on the job site. Don't rage. AND ABOVE ALL, don't smoke! So, you want a King to rule over you? This question tells us that God does not want this request to be made, be He will not hold us back from placing a Leader between us and Him. Nevertheless, when this leader is placed in front of a people who have already been taught to respect God and His Law, then that leader is cuffed and shackled so as not to take a place that is not his to take. When this leader is placed in front of a people who were taught they could save themselves, then that leader will become a Hitler or a Stalin. If self-salvation is real salvation, then it must be carried out at all costs. When we try to save ourselves we leave a trail of destruction that starts with others and ends with self-destruction. The Ideal, and the organization built to carry out that Ideal, must survive even if the persons being 'saved' are themselves destroyed. As unbelievable as it sounds, those being destroyed march happily to their destruction, as if in a stupor. It truly is a stupor because God gives them over to their rush forward. The Ideal is so wonderful, it must not be bothered with experience or truth. ------------ Email Joe Magoo: joe572001us@yahoo.com Comment on this column in the forum. ------------ |
