Hardness of Heart
There is no doubt that all the roads to Hell are all directed by
Hardness of Heart.
All
the wickedness of this evil generation is a direct result of the hard hearts that
this generation produces. The evidence is in all the bad fruit that abounds in
all worldly things. Everything from easy chairs to light bulbs, from haircuts
to shoes or the things thought “fun” and our very careers.
People
might say, “What is wrong with any of that?”
I will
tell you that almost every aspect of those things is desperately wicked, so
much so that nobody can even know the depths if it all. How can one explain the
wickedness of the heart? It is manifested by the fruit, which is externalized
by words and deeds.
People
have often said to me that I am too hard on myself; my response is to say that
I have not even yet begun to be hard on myself. Corporal punishment is a thing
of the past in this age of heard hearts, somehow I am not surprised. In the
noise and confusion of today it is no wonder that good advice is shunned left
and right. Everywhere people are worried most about human rights all the while
we should be more concerned about responsibilities. We are to be our
brother’s keeper. Those of this world are today worried about things
contrary to the concerns of God; it is that which I am personally worried
about. The constant reminder of hard and firm correction causes the heart is
sorely pricked and thereby driven to repentance, which is far better than the
alternative. I am also accused of being sensitive; my response is that it is
better than being insensitive.
The
hard heart is seen in those who divorce or remarry,
unrepentantly.
The
hard heart is seen in those who use man made electricity, unrepentantly.
The
hard heart is seen in those who use petroleum products, unrepentantly.
The
hard heart is seen in the use of soft pews during shortened church services,
unrepentantly.
The
hard heart is seen in those who make up their hair for beauty sake,
unrepentantly.
The
hard heart is seen by those who seek after vacations or hobbies, unrepentantly.
The
hard heart is seen by those who are work-a-holics,
unrepentantly.
You
see, manmade electricity was first harnessed by a satanic Freemason, Benjamin
Franklin. From its inception it has been called “magic” and it use
like witchcraft. Every time an electrical switch is done there is a spark which
causes “strange incense” if you know how God looks at things.
Petroleum products are the dead people that died at the flood of Noah and are
spiritually unclean. This life is not here for our comfort, so to seek comfort
during time dedicated to God is not fitting. Those who try to make themselves
look good by cosmetic change are in delusion, because true beauty is a result
of virtue, not vice. It is not productive at all to past time idly by relaxations.
Those who likewise immerse themselves in work lose so much, including a soft
heart. Even things like photography are sin, because we should not be gazing at
things around us and because they use petroleum to be made. The fact that those
of this world are concerned over such externals shows their hard hearts. Shame
on them.
What
more can be said? Live a life of repentance from all such deeds, which are
slothfulness of virtues. Instead be making the sharp repentance that leads to
true life and forsake all worldly ways. You will not be sorry. We should be
willing to do whatever it takes to learn what is right, even at our own risk in
doing so. Even at the risk of our temporary comfort. Spiritual comfort is
paramount above all else, believe me. It is truly more than clear enough to
anyone of what it all means to have hardness of heart, for the law of God was
at first written upon each one of mankind.
Even though I do not entirely agree, I place here a link to infidels.org from their so called ‘bank of wisdom’ which explains things from a perspective few people consider.
Sometimes I cannot help but believe that people really do need to be slapped with a stupid stick.
Forgive, John !
