Knocking at the door…….
Like most Americans I have been near a TV since the shooting and have heard the same curious question, over and over; Why did he do it?
I have the answer, but let me preface it by sharing something. I did not choose to write this blog, to share my faith and to extol our ultimate need for our Heavenly Father. Once I started to post blogs, immediately I was inspsired to share what is is written here. I sit at my computer and it simply comes to me, inspred by the Holy Spirit. There is nothing special about me, I simply, long ago, pledged my life to Christ and submitted to His will. It is His will that I hold up a candle in the darkness for the world to see. My candle is not seen by billions or millions of people, maybe not even thousands, but it is is seen and God speaks to people through it’s light. It’s not my light, it’s not my thoughts, I take no credit or want no praise, I want God’s will to be done. All glory should always go to Him.
TRUTH: Why ISIS, terrorism, murder, gangs, racial hatred, bombings of innocents, and all the other horrible things we experience everyday? Man is inherently evil. The secular humanists will tell you that man is basically good and that he can be fixed with the right abount of love, counseling and government programs. It hasn’t worked, you can’t change a heart with man’s efforts, only God can make us new creatures without the desire to serve evil. All you need to do to confirm these words is study history, man has committed acts of hate and damnation for centuries. You can believe this, or be a victim of the world’s fallen state.
THE ANSWER: We all must ask God to guide us, to help us be peace makers, to stop first the hate in us. We must reach out and love the lost, and heal the sick of spirit. We must steadfastly refuse to adopt the lies of the lost that there is no God, that we have no Hope! Life without hope is meaningless. God does not desire for even one to be lost, He loves His creation and wants it redeemed, but He will not force you to beleive and accept Him and His everlasting love. You must ask Him for forgiveness and to accept you into His family. If you do that with real repentence and faith in Him, He never says no!
KNOCKING AT THE DOOR: Jesus said, “I stand at the door and knock, if anyone hears my voice and answwers, I will come in and be with him.” That knocking is happening right now, a new life, freedom from hate and destruction is no further away than your answer, “Yes Lord, please come i!”
Please answer the knock.
Blessings,
the pilgrim

You know it is interesting that one of the things that people say in times like this is that if there is a God He would not let there be evil like this. Well, if there is no God there is no definition of evil as we are all cosmic accidents that came from a glob of goo. Man chose to know good and evil, and he has chosen sin and death as his state. God has given us a way, which you are pointing to, that man can not only be forgiven from sin but changed. Thank God He has given us a way out of our despicable state and let us show the world the way.! You keep that light on high beam and your salt shaker full! Bless you Pilgrim.
A “a victim of the world’s fallen state?”So 58 people are KILLED because a waking, talking SNAKE told a woman what tree to eat from?
The Bible is all fantasy and myths written by ignorant frightened men with NO understanding of the natural world and a knowledge of science that is less than an elementary school child of today!
All religion is severe Delusional MENTAL ILLNESS! A delusion that there is an imaginary MALE Deity who judges and punishes and rewards us for proper or improper behavior is insane!
The bible is a collection of silly MYTHS written by frightened men who had NO understanding of even the basic science that a grade school child of today has, who didn’t even know of lands outside their little middle east location.
Humans cannot deal with their animal instincts and SEX, so they make up rules to cope with them and call this Religion. Humans are the only creature that can contemplate their death. They fear death and cannot cope with the thought of it.
Religion is a COPING mechanism that allows humans to get through the day without the panic that they are just like any other primate on the Earth, except that they know they will DIE and their powerful sexual and violent behavior has to be tamed and controlled or they cannot function as a society.
Humans wrote the Torah, Bible, Koran and other holy books.
How can GOD have gender? ..always referred to as a MAN–HE, HIM, HIS, KING etc.? Why would god who created the sun, the earth, and formed man out of dust –need a human woman Mary to create a son? Why would god allow the torture of his son to forgive bad actions of people thousands of years later? Belief in this silly fantasy/fable is a delusion and total insanity!
Where was god during–Hiroshima Bomb, the holocaust? The WTC attack? On vacation?
Why would an almighty powerful god need to rest? What did god do on the seventh day of rest, take a nap, lie in bed in Heaven, read the newspaper, watch football, have sex with his goddess wife?
