"I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.Difficult questions we need to answer for ourselves.....like, why didn't God destroy Lucifer at the outset?....wouldn't the whole mess of slaughter have been avoided?
If we care to look or have courage to explore a little deeper than the way human logic assembles things a view emerges of breathtaking beauty, of mercy and forgiveness. So long as we justify the principle of retaliation in our hearts, so long will our spiritual eyes be dimmed and our logic be no different from that of the world's.
For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?” Ecc 3:18-21
Who among us is not still a beast or no longer has any part of a beastly nature? Did Jesus kill all of our beasts? If yes, then why do any of us still sin? Why is it that we are not supposed to judge others? Could it be that beasts are not qualified?
Should we, any of us listening to Jesus allow the dead beasts to kill and then bury other beasts they seem to believe more unclean, more beastly or more dead than they are?
"But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead." Matt 8:22
Are any here dead wanting to kill the dead so that you can bury them? Did Jesus say to kill them first with our words or with any sword? Certainly not with His Sword? Certainly not with the Word of God?
How many even know what it is that they are doing here?
