"Sword and the Foolishness of Man"

“Sword and the Foolishness of Man”

Blessings folk!

Sadly another shooting has taken place.

Irritatingly, at this moment, the chief executive is, in his smarmy manner, spewing forth lies.

This is not shocking.

We know that in the last days…

Mat 24:6-7
“You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.
“For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes.


“Nation” is the Greek word “ethnos”…ethnicity. People groups.
We see this increasing. Struggles between people.

Of course, the foolishness of man blames inanimate objects.
The foolishness of man refuses to see.
The foolishness of man does not want to hear that the shooter in the latest incident demanded that people stand and announce if they were Christian.

Reports are, if one stated they were Christian, then they were shot in the head.
If they remained silent or said “no”, then they were shot in the leg.

But no.
The problem is a device.
Fools.

Rom 1:22
Professing to be wise, they became fools,


The true problem is not device.
It is demon.

The foolishness of man believes that “…-free zones” will command safety.
Nothing could be further from the truth.

If the 30 year old military man at the Oregon college had been allowed to use that in which he has been trained, many lives would have been saved. As it is, he saved his class. He is recovering from 5-7 shots.

Foolishness.

Jesus actually addressed such…

Luk 22:35-36
And He said to them, “When I sent you out without money belt and bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?” They said, “No, nothing.”
And He said to them, “But now, whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also a bag, and whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one.

…more later…
