To Those Who Are Called |
To Those Who Are Called
"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God,
to them that are the called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
God has called the believers to Himself for His purpose not for something
we have planned. That purpose can be found in His infallible Word for
each of the called. God calls everyone "whosoever", however, not
everyone answers His call. He has set before the believers a path, which
He lights with His Word, for us to follow. It is not hard to find this
path nor to follow it because through His grace(unmerited favor) He
provides all we need to accomplish His purpose for us.
Many mock Him and judge Him and His Word only to their own eternal
destruction never finding joy nor purpose in their lives. These are the
purposeless ones who refuse God's grace and salvation. They are empty,
depressed, antagonistic, quarrelsome people who cannot abide anyone who
knows who they are(the called out), why they are here(for God's purpose),
nor where they are going(believers are going to heaven to be with the Lord
Jesus Christ for eternity). All they see is what is before them for they
have no eyes to see beyond this life.

All this I-know-***** thinks he knows, though he does not even know how
much 12 - 9 is. 'nuff said.
UNWRITTEN RULES OF (PSEUDO-CHRISTIAN) FUNDAMENTALISM
1. "I'm right and you are wrong".
2. Never admit that you are wrong, even if you really are.
3. When you have nothing to say, hurl insults.
4. Regard and portray your own violence, whether physical,
psychological,
or verbal, at all times as defensive
4a. Specific example for 4.: Cry for "freedom of religion", but
whenever followers of other faiths want the same freedom and courts
agree, scream "Persecution!"
5. Be prepared at all times to lie and bluster, particularly when backed
into a corner in an argument
6. Never accept responsibility for any mess you have personally caused.
7. When you are forced to admit to an error, regard the whole process of
error and correction as part of God's personal plan for you and not as a
something for which you should apologise retract or make amends except
verbally and secretly to God himself
8. Always see yourself and you personal actions as part of God's plans
for
the world. Recognise that even your errors are just part of Gods will
for
the betterment of mankind.
9.Profess humility but avoid the actual experience of it.
10.Refuse to take in information that differs from your own view and
oppose all such information through classification of such information
in
a derogatory and simplistic manner(eg by categorising it as left wing
propaganda)
11.Refuse to accept that truth is not black and white; that reality is
complex and there are shades of grey
12.Refuse to forgive anyone else for anything unless you purport to
forgive on behalf of other people unconnected with you for whom you
don't
have that right anyhow.

"man is so proud
the haughty simp
so hard for to approach
and he looks down
with such an air
on spider
midge
or roach
the supercilious silliness
of this poor wingless bird
is cosmically comical
and stellarly absurd
his scutellated occiput
has holes somewhere inside
and there no doubt
two pints or so
of scrambled brains reside
if all the bugs
of all the stars
should sting him on the dome
they might pierce through
that osseous rind
and find the brains at home
and in the convolutions lay
an egg with fancies fraught
which germinating rapidly
might turn into a thought
might turn into the thought
that men
and insects are the same
both transient flecks
of starry dust
that out of nothing came
the planets are
what atoms are
and neither more nor less
mans feet have grown
so big that he
forgets his littleness
the things he thinks
are only things
that insects always knew
the things he does
are stunts that we
dont have to think to do
he spent a score
of centuries
in getting feeble wings
which we instinctively
acquired
with other trivial things
the day is coming
very soon
when man and all his race
must cast their silly
pride aside
and take the second place
i ll take the bugs of all the stars
and tell them of my plan
and fling them with
their myriad stings
against the tyrant man
archy

Hi Oz,

While we are at it, some more quoting of words that, I think, can
describe fundyism such as I-know-*****'s very well... :)
"...the melting of the soul
by wish of those who scheme
the taking of the will
by destroyers of the dream
they live to spread the fear
of the wrong of right of self
they want us all to live
like books upon a shelf
BUT
we know we have the power
to fight and make a stand
strike when we are challenged
all across the land
to be KING!..."
(Manowar, "King")
--
"From the fury of the Northmen, o Lord, deliver us!"
(Desperate prayer of Irish monks when the Viking dragon ships were sighted. Obviously the Lord had more important things to do than to help his faithful...)
Greetings from Thore "Tocis" Schmechtig
Emails to commoner AT carcosa DOT de will need a "HI-AK 523" in the subject or go down the drain!

The only thing YOU are called to by God is as follows:
1. grow up
2. get this superstitious pseudo pagan nonsense out of your head and
replace it with common sense
3. get yourself - through disciplined study - some genuine scientific
understanding
4. stop substituting comfortable myths for historical realities
5. abandon your present political orientation
6. either wise up or shut up - in either case recognise that the Church
and Christianity have less need for a pest like you than you need them!
