Sola Deo gloria
Don’t judge me by what people say about me
Rather put what they say about me
And
My words
My profession of faith
My actions
Under the only
perfect guiding light:The Bible
I fathered three children with my wife(we would’ve had more but miscarriages)and at the pregnancy of my first child Willie jr I for the first encountered the dehumanizing of my baby-and baby(yes with all my heart,mind and soul-my entire being I believe a baby is a Human Being and not a potential human being as soon at conception yes even though at first they look like tadpoles)the gynecologist kept it referring to my son as a clump of flesh,a dot of flesh cells,fetus and I knew enough of the faith that each time He would dehumanized my son I would counter with words,statements implying in clear terms His Humanity-it was a bantering back and forth like abbot and Costello who’s on first skit…THat even though if my baby-any baby was born with birth deficient I,my wife would give baby LIFE who are we to play God of follow the religious dogma of Darwin’s survival of the fittest…this hits me when I read the world celebrating Icelands curing lowering Down’s syndrome in their country and I naively thought they found a medical cure or treatment….then I read the article and realized these kids were being thrown into Gas ovens of human convenience,human morality and values…human instant gratification and self seeking pleasure….sacrificed at the altars of the moloch of the easy,convenient life… free from commitments from others but not self–for I am the center of the universe!!! It is like the
Relentless terminators https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ih_l0vBISOE
from the movies in real life but instead of killer robots its human doctors, nurses
human institutions such as hospitals and clinics…A Ruthless relent wave-onslaught on the defenseless in this case waiting to be born infants in the guise of human Benevolence,kindness over the ugliness of man for each other,
And the unmaking of the Hippocratic oath making it null and void making it rather a living testament to human hypocrisy..”…”
I noticed now that each time I use my debit card my bank takes time to honor it in this age of instant everything mentality ((even when I have sufficient funds) they let it accumulate till it accumulates then hit me with insufficient fees for insufficient funds…Gee, if you would take it immediately this would not occur and common sense when I look at my account I would then buy or not buy depending if I had sufficient funds… In light of several news reports on how this bank and the banking industry in general I should say prey on the the poor and working class with fees up the yin yang…
You ask then Willie what has this have to do with theology ???
First it points to scriptures this: Proverbs 11:1
‘A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is his delight.”
Secondly to Matthew 5:37English Standard Version (ESV)
37 Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.[a]”
MeaningMatthew 5:37English Standard Version (ESV)
37 Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.[a]
try not to endorse your check with just your lips, spit, and empty wasted air and not qualify it or endorse it with your personal savings of actions…
Thirdly and directly to:
God’s grace when we run low.
When we were penalized by sins from birth on all of us by the stamp upon our mind,hearts lives insufficient funds meaning whatever we did and do to try to earn salvations was never infinitely enough God thru Christ opened a unlimited account by His work on the cross for all wish to claim the free heavenly account
John 3:16-17English Standard Version (ESV)
For God So Loved the World
16 “For God so loved the world,[a] that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
Footnotes:
• John 3:16 Or For this is how God loved the world
And in time when life leaves our “funds” low or insufficient or penniless we can draw on Gods amazing grace
2 Corinthians 12:8-9 Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me
Hebrews 4:16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:15-17 (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”) And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Acts 20:32 And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
1 Peter 5:10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen and establish you
Romans 3:20-24 For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it — the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus
Romans 4:15-17 For the law brings wrath, but where there is no law there is no transgression. That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his offspring—not only to the adherent of the law but also to the one who shares the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, as it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations”— in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist.
Romans 5:1-2 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Romans 5:12-21 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned— for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come. But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. And the free gift is not like the result of that one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification. For if, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. For as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous. Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Ephesians 2:4-9 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ— by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
“Well may our God be glorious in the eyes of His people, seeing that He has wrought such wonders for them, in them, and by them.”
