In praise of the:
The blinding light of Jesus Christ!
shining in the darkness of fundamentalism!
destroying the thick black scales of Protestant fundamentalism!
And spiritual pride and blindness!
and spiritual anarchy!
Saul thought he was doing the will of God and acting righteously
Acts 9:1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
Then the risen Christ appeared!
The blinding light of truth prevailed!
Fundamentalism is faith without reason!
So be it with all those who sit in the error of rigorous puritanical fundamentalism!
Including Protestants!
Pure spiritual blindness, thick black scales!
Spiritual anarchy and chaos!
God establishes “peace and order” thru obedience to hierarchical jurisdictional authority!
