PARALLELS
CONTRADICTIONS, CONFUSION: CHURCH & STATE
(3-4-08
by Carl A. Patton)
The
writers the thinkers had nothing
to
write about except what had
happened
throughout the land.
When
the land spoke devoid of man
there
was peace.
However
man broke this peace with
his
frivolous little talk and his vile
and
conceived actions toward other
men.
This
day this writer who was sent
to
think and write, thought of
the
countless lies told by some
men
who embraced evil and
lay
prostrate with the Devil.
Looking
out over the mountain
valley
being blessed by God
one
more time to see Heaven
he
thought of these pernicious
deeds.
Dreadful
are these times that we
bear
witness to. A multitude of
people
lay claim to vice, iniquity
and
the viciousness of a lost world
gone
mad with things that lack any
semblance
of principles and morality.
Just
who are the people that
speak
so much for God’s adversaries?
I
could see now the church the
steeple
and the cross.
They
stood in the doorways the
pulpits
and throughout the church
house
casting doubt among the
Saints
as they defaced the Book.
However
the Prophets said not what
they
said. Nor did Malachi render
a
speech to the saints first only to
the
Priest who robbed God and the
people.
Never did he speak of money
as
the Old Laws were for the Jews,
grain,
crops and livestock.
John
came to baptize and Jesus
healed
the sick and raised
the
dead. He did as God
divinely
ordered and He
got
up from the grave.
He
died for our sins that we may
have
the tree of life. I feel
now
the Holy Spirit that Christ
sent
back to comfort us when He
went
back to be with the Father.
The
New Testament speaks volumes
of
the Apostles and Paul who
further
established the church
that
came from Christ the
Son
through the Father.
Ungodliness
crept upon the land
as
the Ages soon became Dark
although
there was Light no one
could
see. The Bible was stolen.
But
who can destroy the Word?
Soon
Martin Luther tried what
became
the impossible as
reform
failed and many false
Denominations
came to exist.
They
were established on many
falsehoods
as they took what they
wanted
from the Bible and cast what
they
did not want to the dogs,
Thus
closing the church door on Jesus
and
those that follow Him. However the
people
are rotten but the church is pure
and
Godly. Impious imposters come into
the
church to defame and disgrace
the
Word.
There
was also a time as we just
mentioned
that the state the ruling
regime
conspired against the church
and
fell in the murderous trap to
crucify
Christ.
This
same power of state then
saw
the need to unify all their
subjects
by using the zeal of Christ
that
flowed from His followers.
This
love of the believers the
will
to die became a rallying cry for
the
state.
They
bastardized Christianity and
embraced
what felt good
and
laid claim to their historic
Pagan
ways that still to this day defame
Christendom
as did the people of the Plains.
As
time moved and we approach contemporary
times
more humane laws, constitutions and
principles
came to govern the land and the
people.
State
democracy usually is not opposed
to
scriptural democracy. Racism began
to
bow to the laws of the land. Man
groomed
his heart and tried to leave
his
greed at home.
Thus
the state apparatus in the land
of
the free and the few brave is
a
good thing and so is the Church.
But
once again man has come into a
good
house and placed the people in jeopardy,
denying
life that God Has guaranteed.
