Bible Question:
I see so many questions here. I am gratefull for them for they make me think and research. What I simply don't understand is WHY there are so many LAZY people where the WORD of God is concerned. It is ones MORTAL SOUL at Stake. Why do people ALWAYS turn to people for the interpritation of Gods word? Surely in this country today, bibles are readily available to everyone who has a desire to have one. Oh, but I don't understand what I read? Are you Stupid? 1 a : slow of mind : OBTUSE b : given to unintelligent decisions or acts : acting in an unintelligent or careless manner c : lacking intelligence or reason : Or are you simply Lazy? not easily aroused to activity. LAZY suggests a disinclination to work or to take trouble *convenience foods for lazy cooks*. INDOLENT suggests a love of ease and a settled dislike of movement or activity *the heat made us all indolent*. SLOTHFUL implies a temperamental inability to act promptly or speedily when action or speed is called for *fired for being slothful about filling orders*. If one reads the word they will learn that they will eventually learn it. So why can we not learn from the experiances of others? Just wondering... George |
Bible Answer: Hi George, I tend to believe it goes deeper than either of the above, and can be traced back much further than today. 1 Samuel 8:5-7 is a perfect example. 5 And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations. 6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD. 7 And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. Israel 'wanted to be like the other nations.' They rejected the personal relationship God had with them for a king. Secondly, men craving personal power and glory have always used this odvious flaw by in the human character to woe them to let these men of power to 'tell them what to do'. The Pharasees were the ones with the. John 11:41 48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation. People have always sought out leaders to communicated to God for them, to tell them how they should act...just as long as they do not have to 'enter' the presence of God themselves. And some come to realize they can,and they desire to do so and then they break free. God bless |
