THE SPIRITUAL FOOL


A fool has said in his heart: “There is no God.”

What does this mean?

Firstly, it does not refer to a professed atheist: that is, one who openly proclaims that there is no God.

No, it refers to one who may publicly acknowledge that there is God yet IN HIS HEART he does not truly recognize and reckon that God really exists.

God is not in their consciousness.

The reality of God does not guide their thoughts and actions, especially how they relate with others.

Secondly, what God? If God exists, what does that exactly means? Which God? Who or what is God?

God is the Ultimate Reference for good and evil.

God is the Perfect Judge of all men and all things.

God is the Invisible Spirit who sees everything—yes, including the secret motives of the hearts of men.

God is not a man that He should lie.

God cannot be mocked. His law firmly stipulates: “whatever a person sows that shall they also reap.”

There is no partiality or prejudice with God. 

He is a good God not a bad being. 

God is just, righteous and true. 

But a fool’s heart does not understand these things.

Thus, a fool walks in a way that violates God’s laws.

Thirdly, a fool may be a churchgoer, a professed believer, even a pastor, elder or religious leader.

Yet in their heart there is no REAL fear of God.

They act without regard to the law of God.

They somehow foolishly think they can outsmart. 

They think their evil intentions are hidden from God.

They think their pride and deceit are unknown to God.

They erroneously feel God is unable to see their hearts.

But it is their hearts that cannot perceive or see God.

Their hearts are dead to the reality of who God is.

Being such a fool is a spiritual condition not an insult.

Finally, a scriptural or spiritual fool is of all men to be pitied no matter how rich or famous they are.

Their spirits are unawakened to the reality of God.

Simply put, they are not born again.

They do not have spiritual life from God.

They are spiritually insensitive to the Most High.

Thus, they do not have spiritual sense or wisdom.

That’s why they are fools before Almighty God.

Indeed, the fool doesn’t understand who God is.

To reiterate and conclude, note the following facts:

The lips of a biblical God-acclaimed fool may say: “There is a God somewhere out there.”

A spiritually ignorant person may claim that they believe in ‘God’. Yet they do not abide by His Law.

Inwardly they reject His just commands.

The truth of the matter is that in their heart of hearts, a fool is not conscious of God, does not know the True God and thus does not fear God.

A fool has said in his heart: there is no God, there is no justice, there is no absolute truth, there is no punishment for sin, there is no forgiveness for sin, there is no need for confession or restitution, there is no everlasting damnation, there is no need to love your neighbor as yourself, there is no real meaning or purpose to life, there is no judgment, there is no retribution, there is no life after death, there is no resurrection to life and resurrection to damnation, there is no Hell, there is no Heaven, there is no Christ who walked the Earth, there is no One watching our every actions, there is no giving of account to God of what we did in our lives, there is no repercussions or reaping of what we sow.

In other words, there is no law, no reality, no reason, no meaning, no absolutes, no divine standards, no wisdom in the Holy Scripture, no truth, no God.

A fool is effectively, spiritually deceived. 

Yet they may think they are wise and may even appear wise in the eyes of the godless world.

A fool is without the wisdom or understanding that comes from God.

A fool is bereft of true knowledge of God.

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy God is understanding; but fools despise divine standards or the instructive laws of God”.

Are you a spiritual fool, a scriptural fool? 

A fool according to the Creator of the Earth.

Don’t be! 

Evaluate yourself.

Tell yourself the truth!

The truth according to the Almighty God.

THE ETHICAL BEAST

Image
A beast is an animal, especially a large or dangerous four-footed one. A wild animal. A beast is also a domestic animal, especially a bovine (meaning, relating to cattle) farm animal. Basic dictionary definitions. So, cattle are beasts.  A lion is a beast.  An eagle is a beast. A serpent is a beast.  Yes, a serpent. Let’s talk about that. Especially as Christ used it as some sort of behavioral reference and exemplar for us. He pointedly said: “Be wise as the serpent.” Oops!  “But,” He continued, “be harmless as the dove.” Okies! A serpent is a large snake. A snake, as studied and described by Science (Biology), is a reptile without limbs, voice, external ears, or eyelids, that has only one functional lung, and a long, slender body.  What are some evolutionary traits of the snake?  Stay with me. I know we don’t like snakes. But we are getting somewhere.  We’re learning something.  Snakes have a keen sense of smell, temperature and touch but generally poor eyesight (except night snakes

WHY TRUTH?

Image
  The following are questions that I have been curiously asked by some of the people who have read or heard what I write or say, over the years: “Why are you saying these things?” “Why are you sharing (biblical but unconventional) truths?  “Are you a pastor?” Let me break them down them into different possible thought processes that have generated them: In other words:  Who gave you the authority to say these things?  What (moral, spiritual or positional) right or ranking do you really have to speak publicly about them?  Are you holy, righteous or anointed enough to say things that obviously challenge (albeit in a non-confrontational way) the religious status quo? Or, are you just trying to rock the boat? Are you chasing clout or seeking cheap publicity? But do you not know or realize that it can ‘spoil market for’ (metaphorical colloquialism for: impede or jeopardize the economic prospects or viability of) many ‘pastors and churches’ and as a matter of fact the entire commercialized r

SCRIPTURE IS INERRANT AND SUFFICIENT

Image
  The Holy Scripture is inerrant and sufficient. Inerrant simply means incapable of being wrong. Sufficient of course means enough or adequate. To deny the inerrancy of Scripture is to call into question and cast doubt on the God revealed in the Scripture, on Christ who died, rose and is coming back as Judge and King, and on man’s salvation from eternal damnation which is solely based on the Cross and Work of Christ, the Word of God.  Scripture is either true or the God of the Bible, who is the God of love and righteousness, mercy and justice, grace and truth, revealed by and in the Lord Jesus Christ as “Our Father who is in Heaven” is not real but a fable or figment of man's imagination.  The Bible is the absolute truth of God. Albeit misunderstood and misused by so many in the false profession and practice of Christian religion for inglorious purposes and transient benefits, the Bible is essentially about the Gospel of Christ, which is the power of God unto salvation to everyone
