The Palettes Were All Laid Out! Painting Class Was Going To Be Good Today! The "Drawings" Of Jesus We Had Finished Yesterday Were To Be Painted According To Our Experience Of Him So The Teacher Did Say!
I Was Excited! I Was Going To Paint My Jesus Quite Fine:
White Robe Of Righteousness - Freely Available To Me! Blue Border For His Law Which In Love I Now Follow Gladly! Bronze Skin For He Is The Everyman-Is-Welcome God AND I Wanted To Do
The Scarlet Pomegranate Broidered Work Indicative Of His High Priestly Work Interceding For Me!
I Was Ready!
But ...
Something Really Strange Was Happening Had Happened To My Paints!
Every Color ... White Blue Bronze Red When Mingled With Water Stained The Picture
The Same Technicolor Hue!
What Meanest This? I Cried.
My God Is Real Simple Orderly Gentle Soft Spoken Kind!
What Meanest This Striding Peacock This Technicolor Nightmare This Colorization Of The Very Devil This Tainted Spectacle That In Me Inspires Fear?!
Suddenly ...
I Heard The Laughter!
I Should Have Known!
The Devil Dogs
Were In Battle-Ready Array!
They Were Pointing AND Laughing At Me Trying To Inspire
In Me
Ungodly Fear!
Hear Them ...
You Wouldn't Join Us So We've Restained The Colors That Are Used To Orderly-Paint
Your By-The-Book God For He Offends Our Sensibilities So He - To Us - Is Not - Authentically - Who We Shall Call God!
Too Many Do's! Too Numerous Don'ts! Too Much Straight Talking And Not Enough Feel-Good Dope!
The Colors Of Our Rainbow Make That God Appear
Really Cool
And Now The Jesters
Around The Town No Longer
Are Called Fools!
Nothing Done In Consenting Flesh Can Ever Be Again Called Abominable Sin And Man Taking The Lofty Place Of The Once-Glorious God Now Lowly Is Now The Best The Most Acceptable Thing Around Town!
No More Long Talk Nor More Too-Deep Thinking!
It's All About The Feels!
Yeah For The Feels!
I Felt Water On My Face BUT
I Was Not In Anger Crying!
I Was Saddened Hurting For These Deluded Ones Who Were The Good Lord - By Right - - Birth Right - Denying!
Nothing Done By Mere Men Or Devils Can Change Anything Sealed AND Settled In Holy Heaven!
God Reigns! God Rules! God IS! I Wish They'd Buy A Clue For What God Is What God Has Done No Created Being Can Ever Change Or Cause To Be Undone!
Brethren,
Colorizing A Black And White Picture Reel Does Not Make It A Technicolor Movie!
When You Do Not Know The Real God The Real Jesus

They Preach Attempt To Preach Almost Succeed In Preaching The Good News Of The Coming Kingdom! Of Course ... You Would Understand That With Names Such As Theirs There Is Going To Be Drama Problems Maybe Even Some FUN!?! Pastor Willing Is Not Skilled! Pastor Skilled Is Not Able AND Pastor Able Is Neither Willing NOR Skilled! I Do Not Profess To Know How It Is Possible BUT Things Get Complicated After That: Pastor Willing - Though Lacking In Skill - Is Full of Faith AND He Truly Loves The Word AND The Word's Word! He Loves Him Some Jesus AND He Is Ready - Notice Or Not - To Preach AND Teach That Holy Word! Pastor Skilled Is Ahh Umm ... Skillful An Able Raconteur To The Point That His Storytelling Turns snruT The Word of God Into Fables! Hebrews 13:8 Is Often Muttered When He Walks By AND Things Often Get Ugly When He Is At The Sacred Desk The Podium On The Altar AND Well, Ahh Just About Any Time He Opens Wide His Mouth! Able Is Not A Descriptive To Be Ascribed To Pastor Skilled! As For Pastor Able ... Good Old Pastor Able! He Knows The Word Of God! You Can Ask Him Anything! Only Problem ... Well, The Problems Were ... Look ... It Is Like This: Pastor Able Knows God's Word - No Argument BUT He Has Not Got One Iota of Skill When It Comes To Teaching AND Preaching The Word Of God AND Because He Lacks The Requisite Skills He Has Become Somewhat Decidedly Well ... Unwilling To The Point Of Refusing To Serve In The Lord's Ripe - For Harvest - Fields! Something Has To Give! Your Assignment - Should You Choose To Accept It - Is To Fix FIX These Pastors Using Their Various Strengths To Help Each Become Better Stewards For Their Master! How Can We Get A Worthy Pastor Out Of These Three? By The Way ... The Church Down The Street Has Put Out An Announcement Asking For One Pastor Who Is Willing, Skilled AND Able! Here's Your Opportunity To Find A Pastor To "Fit The Bill!"
They Desire A Pastor Who:
Believes AND Preaches AND Teaches Victory Over Sin Is Possible In Christ
Reverences The Holy God
Is Zealous For The Preserved Word Of God
Honestly Preaches Of Hell AND Damnation
Intimately Knows The True AND Living God

The Ball Is In Your Court! Get The Church An Able Skilled And Willing Pastor Or A Skilled Willing And Able Pastor Or A Skilled Able And Willing Pastor Or A Willing Able And Skilled Pastor Or Just That For Which They Asked:
She said she is a Christian - I looked up Then she said something in answer to a question That made me bristle and query what's up? Okay, long story short This is her testimony: She is studying and working and all else She said her college exam was murder For she had nothing in her head! She knew only two answers she said of the questions So she went home and prayed and cried unto The Lord For she believed that God would get her a passing grade If she asked in faith, He would reward! She said that when Exam Results were returned She had received much more than a passing grade And she knew that Her God was amazing For The Passing Grade was from Him, and it was her Reward! Stunned and shocked, appalled, repulsed, aggravated Ashamed, frightened, dismayed Are the emotions that ran through my being For this "testimony" is what pleases The Fraud! The God of Heaven is not a magician To Him these beings are of abominable fame And to hear a Christian confessing testifying That God is doing magic tricks Makes me hang my head is great shame! I tried to explain to her that she was in error That praying for a passing grade after the exam is not the way You did not do The Requisite Study and that is like Killing a man and praying God to make the decaying corpse live again! "You obviously knew more than you believed you did!" I exclaimed. "No! God did that! I will not put My God in a box! My God can do anything!" she grandly, boastingly replied. I reeled in utter shock! Here are The Facts: 1. She had maybe somewhat studied ... something 2. She looked at The Exam paper and, save for two answers, knew ... nothing 3. She knew She had failed The Exam 4. She went home and prayed and cried to Almighty God to Pass her Failed Exam Paper because She believed in Him, and knew that He would do anything She required of Him even when She knew She was undeserving and had not done The Necessary Preparation OR, at the very least, had done inadequate preparation 5. Almighty God - Magician Extraordinaire - is The Eraser of Wrong Answers, Passer of Failed Exams, Rewarder of The Undeserving, and The Wrong-doer
I DO NOT KNOW
NOR DO I OWN
NOR DO I WISH TO KNOW OR OWN
THIS IMPOSTOR GOD!!
This RUBBISH is what is being propagated as a result of "feeding" from The 'Another' Gospel!" a/k/a
The Gospel of The God Of All Wishes
Who Also Does
People's Dirty Dishes!
What this "Gospel" is really saying is that you can read your self-printed Bible and pray your disrespectful prayers, and Almighty God, The Formerly Jealous God, The Former God Who Does Not Change, will permit you to worship false gods, curse His Name, commit murder, commit adultery, lie, cheat, steal, up until the day He comes, and He will save you, unrepentant, into His Eternal Kingdom Of What Used To Be Light because you love Him, and believe that He can do anything you require Him to do because He loves you no matter if you dishonor Him by your active, malicious, presumptuous sin, and He will deliver you Saved ... into His Kingdom, because, well, He is lonely, and will accept the dregs that you give Him, because He is "The Magician On Demand," who wishes your patronage, and if He doesn't give you what you want, you will not like Him and He will be all alone, and He doesn't want that, so, here, ask Him anything, for He will deliver for you for He loves you and He will do whatever you ask of Him ... just because!
What a crock of horse manure!
The Holy Bible, The Gospel (Truth) (Good News) of Jesus Christ is a transcript of The Holy God's Character!
God FORGIVES Sin!
God does not absolve us from The Punishment that is our just desert for wrong doing, nor from our "reward" for lack of preparation and judicious action!
God is with His People THROUGH their trials!
God's Grace provides Mercy so that we may have help ... in time of need - not after the need has passed!
That Young Lady should have asked God to bring to her remembrance what she had studied and not relegated God to the position of a wicked magician!
This attitude is appalling, but not uncommon, and exposes a destructive lack of knowledge of who is really Almighty God.
The Final Word
2 Corinthians 11:2-4 King James Version (KJV)
2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
There is NO OTHER JESUS!
There is NO OTHER GOSPEL!
Do not Abominate God's Holy Word!
Do not make God's Holy Word a Profanity!
Do not let Satan use us to Lead People Astray with falsehoods and embellished fictions!
God will work for His People when and as we do what is right and good!
And, please,
Do not let us credit Almighty God with nonsense, and call ourselves blessed and highly favored, because we got over!
The day of reckoning is coming, and whichever piper we have paid will play The Tune of Our Selection, for Good or Evil.
The Choice, as always, is personally ours to make.
