I met a young lady today
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.
Father, guide us into Your Truth
By Your Light -
The Light of Life
The Light of The World.
Amen
