SEEDLINGS BEARING MATURE FRUIT: Hair Splitting!?!




One Of The Most Egregiously Stupid Statements 
Uttered In The Bible
Was Uttered By Israel's First Earthly Ruler King Saul
And
It Was Uttered In Direct Opposition
To A Direct, Immutable, Command Of 
The Eternal God Holy, Himself
Who Said Only A Priest Shall Offer Sacrifices!

Hear King Saul Sinfully Presumptuous
Unrepentantly Speak:

KJV 1 Samuel 13


12 Therefore said I, 

The Philistines will come down 
now upon me to Gilgal, 
and I have not made supplication
unto the LORD: 
I forced myself therefore,
and offered a burnt offering.


I Dare To Say That
This Reeks Of The Ways Of Satan
That Self-Justifying, Gainsaying, Lying, Apostate
Who Saw Everything In The Light Of Self
And
Boldly Built His "House" On The Foundation Of


"There's Something In This For Me!"

Hairsplitting Like A Boss ...

King Saul Knew He Was Wrong
But
You Know How It Is When Self-Will Holds Sway:

"I Must Force Myself To Sin
Even Though I Signally Know It Is Wrong
But, My Self - My Dignity - Is Important To Me
So I Must Put Myself
And My Selfish, Unholy, Known-Disobedient Desires
Before The Commands Of The Holy God
So That He Cannot Say That
I Did Not Obey His Command To Offer Sacrifices To Him
Even Though I Know Fully Well What I Should Be Doing
- And Should Not Be Doing -
But Because Of Appearances
- My Sinful Lust For Adulation -
I Will Permit Myself 
- I Don't Really Want To But I Must -
I Shall Force Myself To Sin 
So That I Will Be In Seeming Obedience!
Appearances Must Be Upheld, After All!
God Gets A Little Something And I Get The Remainder!
That Prophet Samuel Is Sooo Tardy
And I Cannot Abide Having My Precious Time
And My Sinful Desire For Instant Gratification Thwarted!
Ahhh, Yes ... I Have The Perfect Excuse!"

Brethren,

No One "Forces" Themselves To Sin!
Sinning Comes Naturally To All Of Us
Who Are Known Born In Sin
And
Shaped In Iniquity! 

Sinning Also Always Comes Naturally
To Those Who Place Self On The Throne That 
Should Ever Seat The Eternal God!

If We Truly Understood God
We Would Know That Not Even Obedience To His Will
Requires Us To "Force" Ourselves To Obey His Word
And 
To Walk In His Ways!

And Don't Get Me Started
On Our Blaming The Evil Satan
And His Fallen Angels ... That Demonic Force
And Inanimate Objects
And Wayward Friends
And Heartless, Mean, Society
And Neglectful Parents
For What Is Our Sworn, Cherished
Desired Intention To Do Known Evil ... To Begin With!

Moral Laws
Cannot Fix
Spiritual Problems!

Nobody
- Created Visible Or Spirit -
Can Make A Human Being Do Anything ... At All!
Almighty God Won't Force You
And
Satan And His Angels Can't Force You!

Be Prayerfully Courageous ...

For Those Of Us Who Will To Do The Right
To Walk In The Ways Of The Lord Christ
To Do What Pleases Our Maker, Redeemer And Friend
Here's The Big Hint:

Spirit Of The Living God

Fall Afresh On Me
And
Fix Me!
I Confess My Known Sin!
I Repent Of The Past!
Lead Me Gently Homeward!


Mortal Man's Peace 
Is 
Found Only In The Presence Of Almighty God
Through Jesus Christ The Lord
And
Anytime Self Is Admitted
- Becoming The Third Party In A Two-Person Conversation -
Rest Assured
The Lord Becomes The Unwanted Participant
Is Minimized
Is Ostracized
And
Rejected!

A Threesome Is Unnatural
And
The Lord Is Not Ever Going To Be Participant
In What Is Ever An Abomination!

Listen Up ...

Don't Do The Living, Holy, God Any "Favors!"

Disobedience 
Is 
As The Sin Of Witchcraft!
Witchcraft Is Idolatry!
Idolatry Is An Abominable Sin Which
- Left Unrepented -
Leads To Sure Damnation!

The Facts Remain ...

King Saul Reaped What He Sowed
And
Is Right Now On The Unchangeable List Of 
Those Stricken From The Lamb's Book Of Life! 

King Saul Is Forever Damned!

Take Warning ...

When Pride Crosses Over Truth
Maliciously Ignoring Obedience
It Takes The Broad Path To No Hope
Which Leads To Unremitting Anger
Which Leads To Murder
Which Culminates In Death By Suicide
Even If The Fatal Blow
You, Yourself, To Yourself
Do Not Deliver!

Look Around Us
And
See The Fruit Being Harvested
From The Will-Grow Seedling Called 
Willful Disobedience Aka Sin!


Isn't It Time
That
The People Of God And Christ
Sigh And Cry
Get Ready
And
Look Up!?!

  1. I Am Thankful That The Lord Christ Is Able To Do Abundantly More For Me Than I Could Ever Ask For Or Think About ... And Will Save Me From The Second Death Because I Willingly Choose Him For My Portion!
