A Momentary Laps of Reason

The Bible in all its complexity is in reality very simple in its intent. It has been made very complex, mystifying and some times stupefying through the ages. In the process some of the main components of logic and reason have been stripped away in order for it to become somewhat unreliable or unreasonable. Through history it has been remanufactured to be a fulcrum of power to lord over the perceived hoi polloi. The main hidden function up to the 15th century was to control the world population through fear, oppression, and superstition. The governing body of so-called righteous church leaders was bent on an agenda of world domination using some of the methods mentioned. Post Reformation showed a more clandestine movement to continue the same agenda, while in the process of losing many followers of the faith that now had the courage to make reformed choices. However the thrust of that reformation has pretty much faded to antiquity, and left the church for all intent, impotent, archaic and lacking basic truths People have parked so much dogma on scripture that anyone who would want to find the truth must wade through fathoms of literary carbuncles

It was not until the bible was printed in English from the original Hebrew and Greek text by William Tyndale and distributed in the 16th century that the common man, with the ability to read, could actually find out what God was really saying and not saying. He could finally comprehend the meaning of God’s plan and could open himself up for the plan of God to free him from poverty, sickness, and bondage. After all the word Gospel means “Good News”. It is really no surprise that the very fabric of the Gospel has been unraveled and then rolled back up into one big unmanageable ball. On the outside it is just a hodgepodge of multi-directional weavings and the inside is hardly discernable.

There are two sides of this coin of ignorance. The secular and the religious both mint the same coin. They are hidden, but they live. The religious, on one side, by their focus on sin and finger pointing. The secular by focusing on self preserving ideals and the security of science and education. The religious had and has a gospel that has it’s axis in fear for the non-believer and a disposition of apathy for the believer. They get saved from something but never get saved into anything.

Now for the most part religion has failed to convey this simple message and have turned into a segregated message of damnation. Most people come to Jesus, if at all, through fear and not hope. Over time a person can’t maintain this type of religion and slowly fade back to a carnal way of thinking. And in doing so reaffirm the suspicions of the secular populace on the ineffectiveness of the ministry of Jesus Christ and God. To coin the phrase, “the fact that people receive Jesus through their lips but deny Him with their lifestyle is something an unbelieving world finds unbelievable”, is not out of reach of reality. Of course God gets the brunt of this. People who say they don’t believe in God seem always to be the first ones shaking their fists at Him in scorn.
