Hey Craig, I'm here in the marathon with you. I'm afraid most of the 'pack' went by quite awhile ago
Thanks for the post Roy. You kind of remind me of my grandfather who was an absolutely kind and wonderful man but never got over the prejudices he was raised with.
Blessings to all of us sinners.
Hi! Carol
I thank you for your kind words but I wouldn't call your grandfather's views as prejudices. Just remember this in your grandfather's days as with mine. Carnal or physical life was hard, very hard.
None of the the modern facilities, cars, planes, computers, flush toilets, hot and cold water on tap and wages that left nothing over for a bit of luxury etc.etc.etc.
But from the spiritual aspect of life it was good; Sunday morning Church, Sunday school, strict parental control, respect for the law of God and of the land, children could play in the local parks in total safety, old people could live in their homes without being robbed, murdered or beaten up, doors and windows could be left open without fear of being burgled, neighbourly love and help and last but not least the undaunted belief and love for God by the whole community. In the midst of poverty these were God's Spiritual gifts to carnally
prejudiced grandfather.
Now let us come to date of posting this.
All modern facilities; 3 cars per household, round the world in 48 hrs by supersonic planes, computers to send and receive messages faster than one can speak them, flush toilets and soft toilet paper, hot and cold water on tap so you can soak in the bath for hours, wages that on average meet one's basic needs for contentment (with the exception of the Babylonian evangelists that is, who are the only poor) and enough left over for a sun-soaked luxury holiday abroad etc.etc.etc.
Now let us consider God's Spiritual gifts; empty churches, no Christian teaching, parents and children out of control, no respect for God or the law of the land, children housebound for fear of being molested, doors and windows bared and burglar alarms fitted, property securely fenced off, murder as common as sneezing, foul language from women and 4 or 5 year old children, neighbourly hatred, homosexual and lesbian marriage, homosexual and lesbian ministers of religion topped by a concealed hatred of God under an umbrella of Babylonian deceit.
In the lap of luxury, God's Spiritual gifts for carnally
prejudiced grandfather.
The choice is yours Carol!
THUS SAYS THE CARNALLY PREJUDICE MINDED GRANDFATHER TO THE LOT OF THEM!God bless you sister in our joint walk in Christ.
Love in Christ Jesus.
