No, he isn't that stupid, Wasn't he also powerful enough to tempt our
lord for 40 days? Off course he was, so just who do we think we are, to
see him as irrelevant?
But, let us see him for what he is, and we will be able to withstand his
sustained, subtle onslaught. He is not going to tell you to stop being
charitable, no, that would be way too obvious. He would tell you that
you should continue with your commendable work, but just not tonight,
since its cold outside, so, tomorrow when its warmer, you could start up
energized, You see, he is hoping that you or the homeless person will
die tonight, seriously, he doesn't know when we will die. To me that
sounds more like him.
Amazing how many miss the point entirely. Even Jesus disciples never
caught on. God loves his creation which is perfect beyond comparison,
why on earth would he want to destroy it? However, the world which has
to come to an abrupt end, is the worldly or carnal mind of man.
Perhaps the only tiny flaw which He allowed, was to grant us choices. We
can choose the carnal temporal, which comes to a complete full-stop
sooner or later. Or, we can choose to gather up the spiritual gifts,
patience, charity, tolerance, kindness and meekness, all of which we can
store up inside our minds, i.e. heaven, where no moth, rust etc can
corrupt.
Strangely, when we start to ponder on these words, we come to a new and
more excellent understand of the scriptures, We read about spiritual
wickedness in high places which is the mind of man, is this not also the
place of Jesus, crucifixion? Golgotha, "Mount of the skull? Suddenly we
no longer face the impossible dilemma of seeking first, for the
kingdom of heaven, not the imaginary one up in space somewhere, Who has
access to a Space-shuttle?
We stop being plagued by man made demons, but see Satan as God had
created him? Extremely attractive, guilty of one thing only, daring to
instruct or teach his creator, Not the scaly, horned creature, artists
of the children's illustrated Bible and Hollywood has created, who would
be stupid enough to be deceived by him? But beware of him who comes as
an angel of light, hiding right here in plain sight of everyone, who
would rather believe the hocus-pocus nonsense, while he just goes right
ahead tripping up the masses who refuse to believe the lie coming from
the mouth of a pretty face, or hiding within the ranks of religion?
Another thing he is famous for, is lies, yet I wonder about that
sometimes, is he not also embodied in the guise Of your friend, the nice
guy who apparently has your best interest at heart, or the guy who
tells you, that it would be okay to jump the red traffic light. since
everyone else is doing it and besides, its 12 midnight, and no one is in
sight etc. Which one would worry you more, the guy with the scaly
skin and horns, or the well groomed, attractive one that has the so
called good intentions?
