RANDOM THOUGHTS 17
Originally posted: October 3, 2022

Various bits of miscellany which have accumulated (mostly on sticky notes and scraps of paper) since the last RANDOM THOUGHTS (about four months ago).

* When the judgment bill comes due for ALL of those who do not believe, it would be natural to feel a bit of sympathy for those poor, benighted folks…

EXCEPT, they richly deserve their bills, having turned aside ALL pleas to change their ways BEFORE that due date.

IF the reader is one of the ones who will feel the wrath of God’s judgment, know that there exists a number of their fellows who must weigh sympathy with reason.

IF the reader is one who will NOT feel the wrath of God’s judgment, give thanks and praise for this relatively-rare circumstance.

IF the reader is UNSURE of what group into which he will fall, then it’s time to make a COMPLETE break with the world and its wicked ways.

* The list of former #1 retail giants in the USA looks to grow longer before the day is done.

For DECADES, Sears and Roebucks ruled that lofty spot, using its mail order operations to climb to #1–and stay there.

K-Mart next took over in the mid-80’s as the #1 retailer in the USA.  WalMart overtook K-Mart and became #1–where it stands today.

Readers would NOT be amiss if they suspected that WalMart will NOT maintain its #1 position.

What company will replace them?

Who knows?

One might hazard a guess that it might be one of the dollar-store chains EXCEPT that it appears that there is a ‘race-to-the-bottom’ going on between those establishments.

One store in a big dollar-store chain was CLOSED for business for NO APPARENT REASON twelve days of the past two weeks. A number of stories circulated as to WHY the store was closed, but NONE of the reasons given were particularly credible.

* Joe Biden could very well become President “Kick Me” before it’s all said and done–particularly if the Corporate Media has its way.

PAST RANDOM THOUGHTS

* IF one comments on Satan’s Mouthpiece (the Corporate Media) each and every day, one can avoid sounding like a broken record by NOT sounding the SAME warning in the SAME way each and every day.

Which is ONE good reason the wicked do NOT hear the same warnings every day–though the wicked remain wicked and those warnings remain valid.

* Here is a thought which has been entertained more than once over the years: IF a thought becomes a part of one’s normal thinking pattern, can it STILL be considered ‘random’?

* ‘When Jesus returns to earth’ is a phrase one will not hear uttered by those who are NOT believers–which is the primary reason those who do NOT believe God’s Word are so surprised at the events which take place which are CLEARLY forewarned of by the Bible.

* Deceivers believe that all success they have is due to their great and glorious intellectual advantage they enjoy over their prey. That their prey is also deceived and blinded is not taken into their calculations.

* Does the reader believe that the various government road departments in charge of keeping our roads well-maintained have suddenly forgotten how to do their jobs? After decades of such departments keeping the public roadways in fairly good repair (regardless of the various complaints about potholes heard from time-to-time), the end times are now a time when one takes one’s life into one’s hands whenever one ventures onto the blacktopped pathways we call ‘roads.’ This is mainly due to roadway departments complaining of a lack of money–even though their departments, by any and all indicators, are over-flowing with cash.

DOES the reader sometimes have ‘random thoughts?’

It is not YET too late: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16

It is Easy For UNbelievers to Dismiss the Power of the Gospel IF They Have Never Experienced It

lightning - power

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16

It is quite easy to disbelieve something one has NEVER experienced or seen themselves.

And so it is with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

IF one has never seen or otherwise experienced the power of that gospel, it seems that little effort is required to confidently say: “I don’t believe that exists. I believe it is some mind trick or power of suggestion, BUT it is NOT a tool to be used against men who control REAL power.”

“It’s something that only works against primitive minds.”

“Anyone who has half a mind knows that it doesn’t work.”

IF one believes the Word of God, one KNOWS that the Bible is TRUE. And God’s Word offers that the gospel contains the “power of God unto salvation…”

A person who believes the Word of God ALSO believes what that Word has to say about the gospel’s power.

“But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”
—John 20:31

So, those who have NO experience with the gospel are quite confident when they pass their judgment on it and claim that it is powerless.

Again, it is quite easy to dismiss a power which one has NEVER experienced.

Sort of like some backward South Seas tribesman ridiculing the power of electricity without having seen it in action.

Actually, those folks who form opinions and proclaim their ideas WITHOUT having experienced that which they talk about, reminds one of those who hang out in bars.

Those folks have GREAT abilities to expound on a number of things on which they have NO idea what they are talking about.

BUT, their audience is mostly others like them: other barflies who ALSO know nothing about the subject being discussed.

The gospel of Jesus Christ IS exactly what has been written about it for centuries: the power of God unto salvation.

To all of those who have NO experience with this power: it’s not too late.

But time IS running out…

“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
-—1 Corinthians 1:18-19

THE GOSPEL (GOOD NEWS) OF JESUS CHRIST

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

DOES the reader believe that the gospel has a power that is NOT apparent to most?

It is not YET too late–although time is surely running out: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

Making the Mistake of Comparing Man’s Short Life to the Eternal Existence of God

ETERNAL

Man is a creature which has a relatively SHORT life span.

It is NOT as short as a fruit fly, which counts its lifespan in HOURS.

BUT, a man will have been said to have lived a “long life” IF that man reaches 100-years-old.

Compare that with the UNENDING EXISTENCE of God, who always was and will always be.

“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”
–Revelation 1:8

“Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.”
–Psalm 90:2

The human head does not take kindly to mentions of “Eternity” or “eternal.”

Man might CLAIM to understand the idea of ‘eternity,’ but there are plenty of indications that he does NOT understand at all.

One of the places man demonstrates his ignorance of ‘eternity’ is when a man compares 200 years (which is a LONG time for a man) to God (who is eternal in nature).

Someone who TRIES to understand this difficulty, does not understand why other men cannot also see the HUGE difference between man’s relatively-short life span and an eternal God who always was.

OF COURSE, IF the man is an unbeliever, he will scorn whatever is said in God’s Word–including denying that God even exists.

“The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.”
–Psalm 14:1

The apostle Peter touched upon this subject of the time of man VS God very briefly in his 2nd Epistle.

“But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”
–2PETER 3:8

Which sums up the situation nicely: a thousand years is a long, long, LONG time for a man; for God?

It is like only a day.

It is not YET too late–although time is surely running out: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.
