My Hypocracy Only Goes So Far

This is really a prequel to my other blogs. It was actually a response to an email about various and sundry people, some famous some not, who'd mocked God and their ensuing fates. I have no idea whether they are true or not although some I'd obviously heard of. I don't think that God really looked down and decided to zap them just on what they'd said but it made me mad when I read about what they'd said. I strive to be a tolerant person, to be a good person, to be fair. But obviously the email stretched my tolerance to its breaking point and the virtual rubber band around my wrist snapped hard enough to make my fingers burn. So here I am.

I know this is entirely the wrong way to feel but I wish that I could be in God's presence when all of those who have denied His very existence, written books about it and shouted it to anyone who would listen; those who have made a shameless mockery of Him on TV, radio, in the movies, the printed media or cyber space; those that claim He is really some sort of nature-like "She" god who walks through the forest wearing old 60's caftans and makes seasons come and go; and then all of the religionists who have bought in to believing that mere mortal men who proclaim themselves to be "god" are indeed that and follow them even if it means dying, I humanly wish (which really translates to "sinfully wish" only I've whitewashed it in my own mind) that I could be standing there the day that they all stand before Him. I'd like to see those scientists and physicists and every other "ists" who say that we are not God-made but came about via the Big Bang theory or maybe even Starship Enterprise...I'd like to see the look on their faces when God booms out Genesis 1, John 3:16 or any other passage that we know, love and believe and all they can do is cower. In my pea brain I can imagine God having a voice just like the one He gave James Earl Jones only He resonates a whole lot bigger than James Earl. And mountains tremble at His voice where no one really trembles at James Earl's voice except maybe when he was Darth Vader but that's about the only time.

I want to see the expressions on all their faces when they come to a realisation that explodes stronger than any nuclear warhead that's sitting in one of those underground siloes out in the mid-west, of exactly Who it is that they rejected and the magnitude of their ignorance and plain old bonified, certified, deeper-than-the-ocean stupidity. I'm sinful enough to want to see every shock jock and every TV and movie star , every writer and every musician who once had the opportunity to use their fame and fortune to change the world yet squandered it over coins, paper, drugs, fame and hedonism to change no one for the better as they stand there in utter horror, that is, if God would even allow "utter horror" in His holy presence. We already crucified His Son and that was all the horror enough for God , should I offer my opinion, which, of course, He didn't ask for. They will have the opportunity to see the evidence of that squandering when they take their place in line with all of the jillions of others just like them along with those they drew in to their tight little circles of "if it feels good do it" and "I'm ok you're ok" and who are standing there just as shocked as the famous people are. That line of people will extend as far as it needs to and unfortunately there will be so many that only God knows what to call that kind of number, we just can't fathom one that big. If I hadn't been saved by the very Grace that Christ offers freely to both the rich and poor, the common and the famous, I'd be bumping up right against the back of the stupid person directly in front of me who didn't have time for God either.

As a human I want righteous vengeance I suppose but as one of God's children I know that vengeance doesn't belong to me and even now I should be asking for forgiveness for even expressing the thoughts that I've just shared with you. But don't you just want to take some people and shake them and ask them what is it going to take for them to finally get it?

It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7):
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap .


Here are some men and women who mocked God :

John Lennon (Singer):
Some years before , during his interview with an American Magazine, he said:
"Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that. I am certain.
Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, Today we are more famous than Him" ( 1966).
Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.


Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil ):
During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency.
Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died.


Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet):
During A show in Canecio (Rio de Janeiro ), while smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said: "God, that's for you."
He died at the age of 32 of AIDS in a horrible manner.

The man who built the Titanic
After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be.
With an ironic tone he said: "Not even God can sink it"
The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic .

Marilyn Monroe (Actress)
She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show. He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said: "I don't need your Jesus".
A week later, she was found dead in her apartment .

Bon Scott (Singer)
The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC on one of his 1979 songs he sang:
"Don't stop me, I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell".
On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit.

Campinas (IN 2005)
In Campinas, Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend.....
The mother accompanied her daughter to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends she said to the daughter holding her hand, who was already seated in the car:
"My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.."
She responded: "Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause Inside Here.....It's Already Full "

Hours later, news came that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died,
the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact.
The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact.
To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none was broken .

Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist and entertainer)
said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written.
In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle .

Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive.

"If you are embarrassed about me, I will also be embarrassed about you before my father."

Just repeat this prayer and see how God moves!!

"Lord, I love you and I need you, come into my heart, and bless me, my family, my home, and my friends, in Jesus' name. Amen."

Pass this message to people. You will receive a miracle. I Hope that you let God bless you
