Avoid every appearance of evil, unless it pays well.
Many churches have refused to condemn abortion or unchastity from the pulpit. Yet almost none speak out against the horrible sins committed by Big Pharma. Too many wealthy members work for it—directly or indirectly.
We have been encouraged in shallowness as Christian evangelicals. Our church services are about good vibes rather than glorifying God.
Churches have thrown out hymnals entirely and not replaced them with anything meaningful. My fault is not with the music itself—monotonous as it is—but the vapid lyrics.
“But the songs aren’t about pleasing you but worshipping God and attracting seekers.” God wants our hearts to be lifted to Him. And empty praise choruses that hypnotize the singers aren’t using our minds or souls or strength.
We have become blind to the existence of evil. Probably from living so close and comfortably with it for decades.
When horrible evil comes, people are too stupid to see it for what it is. Chalk it up to the western church’s infatuation for Hollywood and the tube.
There is a difference between a naturally stupid person and a fool.
Natural stupidity comes from factors outside the stupid person’s control. Bad genetics or brain damage early in life can really limit cognitive abilities.
Foolishness can occur in those with high IQ’s. They just refuse to use their God given intelligence to ask questions. Or to consider whether they should trust certain people whom they know to be ungodly
It’s not that God hates those with low intelligence. Far from it. But He expects us to use the brain cells He blessed us with. That gray stuff wasn’t put in just to hold your ears apart.
The Devil’s foolish virgins, tares, goats, and sheepskin-covered wolves blindly follow the blind, in the lukewarm compromising consensus of Democracy’s Socially-Secured (501c3) church. The Angel of Light’s democratic church/synagogue services are all about anti-theocratic Humanist vibes, and NOT about obedience to Christ’s gospel commandment: to daily deny yourself by faithfully taking up your martyrs cross and thereby glorify God’s Holy Theocratic kingdom. Harlot Xian synagogues of Satan have self-righteously thrown out hymnals entirely and replaced them with monotonous, vapid lyrics and bewitching praise choruses that hypnotize deluded, carnal-minded singers.
The souls of naturally stupid people and foolish people have one thing in common. They both share the spiritual death that occurred to sinners in Eden when the Serpent’s seductive Humanist gospel (the carnal knowledge of good and evil) spiritually blinded the eyes of their degenerated carnal-minded hearts. Comfortably living in their flesh’s un-crucified sin nature occurs because their carnal mind’s conscious is spiritually blinded from seeing the inherent evil that malignantly exists within their self-willed old wineskin hearts. Old wineskin-hearted foolish virgins in Christ’s Bride refuse to repentantly trust the wise virgins or ask them questions concerning the New Wine of Christ’s Holy Spirit that fills their new wineskin hearts.
God truly hates Esau, and “never knew” those self-willed Xian virgins who foolishly follow their un-crucified sin nature’s carnal-minded intelligence. The wise virgins are blessed to have the mind of Christ’s Holy Spirit (i.e. the New Wine) faithfully working in their new wineskin hearts, causing them to willingly obey the foreordained purpose and good pleasure of God’s will. Philippians 2:13; Ezekiel 36:26
