ON THE OBVIOUS
The biblical scripture acclaims in 2 Timothy 3:16-17
New King James Version
16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for [a]instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
This however is not what we see and hear when moral, social, political, economic, religious sins in that which God said in Genesis Chapter 1 was very good, are castigated. Those raise the alarm are codemned and stoned to death.
The misnomers are broad, deep and severely complicated.
When obvious ills of Catholism are pointed out by those calling for correction of issues like Mary worship, dead saints praying the living, burdening people with festival days borrowed from Roman paganism like Christmas, months and days connected with Roman idolatry eg Thos/ Thursday, sins of forced conversion of Jews , promoting Caesar worship, evils of popes who practice corruption , homosexuality, keeping secret maids, bearing many children outside wedlock, immorality within the priesthood, catholic insiders paid to counter voices of dissent start cataloguing the number of schools, hospitals, rehabilitation centres, Homes of various categories, etc Catholicism has built, conferences attended Etc those voices counter go to the extent of saying," we catholics gave you the Bible . We have protected the faith for years. You, Did you contribute to astronomy, Mathematics, Philosophy ? have you built any school? have you attended a global conference, Have you contributed to the prevention and cure of diseases? Look around you, everywhere, catholic pillars exist of presence and power exist! We participate in making your school curriculum. This failure of Catholism to address questions asked by does not augur well for the future humanity.
This approach to issues is not bad in of itself but the rate at which it is being mimicked by government, political personalities,many religious leaders even ordinary citizens is the problem. This you note. An American is wrong and when his/her wrongs are pinpointed the villain begins stories of the foundations of America upon christianity. The fathers of USA were christians. Those first presidents were democrats. Therefore in God we trust.
Kenyans refuse to read important documents like the constitution and say, "BABA has read for us. Wamunyoro has given the direction. What has the president said? What is Kalonzo's word? Others will ask what Gikuyu and Mumbi say? These ancestors! Then the President and house schemes, Agricultural projects, Roads and Railways, Schools and universities, good share of national cake among the tribes. Sela!
This is also seen in the Nigeria figure of PAPA, one seen as the repository of all spiritual, psychosocial and mental knowledge. South Africa with their TATA also display a tragic notoriety of weakness in issues regarding giving relevant answers. Actually they Soth Africans behave like students who write length examination notes based on total irrelevance and yet expect the professor to make them pass!
Note also the many PAPAs, MAMAs , FATHERS, PROPHETS, APOSTLES, even christological ones etc who spiritually and mentally retardate their followers. The guilds and clubs, Associations of medics Unions of Teachers, and legalists Societies may equally be guilty of enforcing mental degradation and dehumanisation upon their followers. A heritage of ancestral branches, the epithets that make us bow to subjugation and spiritual manipulation looms. There is failing to do what some literary critics called decolonization of the mind.
Jewish leaders readily start cataloguing their great achievements when their Achilles heal is touched. Here this! That even Jesus was a jew. Even the bible New Testament narrative is dead without the Hebrew Bible. Jews protect Western civilisation from destruction by muslims. It is Jews who have spearheaded success in most of the disciplines of study both in the diachronic and synchronic sense. Humanities, Social Sciences, Physical Sciences, Biological Sciences, Psychology,Natural Sciences, Linguistics, Theories of Government, Economics, Neurology, that long list. Jewish root, Jewish heritage and DNA flows within great personalities like The Historian Josephus, Demetrius the Chronogragher, Karl Marx in Economic Theory, Chomsky in linguistics , Freud the father of Psychoanalysis, The Theory of Deconstruction and Derrida, In the financial field, the "overrepresented" list of Forbes billionaires, places Jews roughly 10-20% globally and even higher in the U.S. (around 17-30%), All that and very many others.Therefore never find fault with what we do! Ha! Haaaaa!
Jesu enters the scene presenting another one way, His way: Jesus John 14:6
New Living Translation
6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.
He answers the question asked. No fallacy of attacking the inquisitor instead of answering the question bothering the populace. This makes nations rage and people imagine vain things.They steal, they kill and destroy. They burn . They annihilate.
In the sermon on the Mount, Jesus repudiates ancient thoughts , attitudes , antisemitism, anti-goyism, hatred against sinners, vain worship etc Matthew 5:21-32TLV
“You have heard it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever commits murder shall be subject to judgment.’ But I tell you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be subject to judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca’ shall be subject to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be subject to fiery Gehenna. “
We conclude by internalizing Hebrews 10:31
New International Version
It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Read together with Hebrews 12:21
King James Version
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING!
