Theory of Devolution
According to Darwin,
Man evolved from animals
through a process of natural selection.
The strong survive; the weak perish.
If that's true, the insects are the highest evolved species.
While there are only 6 billion of us,
there are roughly 10 quintillion insects
(not to mention the undocumented worker bees!)
Therefore, I submit to you, a new theory:
The Theory of Devolution.
According to Devolution,
Mankind did not evolve from the animals;
We "devolved" from them.
And the more we get away from nature,
The more we continue to devolve!
If the purpose of life is to perpetuate itself,
Then why are men the only species
to wage war, commit mass murder and group suicide?
((Devolution))
If the purpose of life is to reproduce,
to practice celibacy, homosexuality and abortion?
If the purpose of life is to become self-sustaining,
to practice religion and worship a transcendent god?
When the New York Post likened Obama to a chimpanzee,
it was an insult to chimps!
Chimps are peaceful animals,
But if you take an animal out of its natural habitat
(compelling it to live as a human);
Don't be surprised if it acts like a rage-filled, murderous human.
(Prov 6:6-9) Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: 7Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, 8Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. 9How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
Is Grace Illegal?
God is Righteous and therefore must obey every command put to her...
If we ask for a blessing, she must bless us.
If we ask for a curse, she must curse us.
This is the Doctrine of Recompense.
It is the Dais upon which the Universe stands.
(Rom 11:29) For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
Why then doesn't God just answer all of our prayers?
Well, you have to read the fine print...
Because God is bound to answer every prayer that comes to her, and because Christians ask for curses instead of blessings, God must have a divine protocol (or law book) that Christians can 'repent' to, which informs her as to which prayers to obey and which to deny. But the Holy Ordinance (or 'Word of God') cannot contain any error in it and must be true for all people at all times -- otherwise, God would lack integrity, disqualifying her as LORD and Creator, and a house divided cannot stand; but the Immaculate Conception has all faith to remove mountains literally -- and so do you when you're in the Spirit, and anyone in the Spirit wouldn't put God to the test now, would they?
So God knows when to obey us and when not to because we repent to the Word of God: integral, inerrant, infinite and incarnate. My God, I sound like a Baptist! Wanna come to my Bible study?
But how was God qualified to judge repentance righteous if he himself does not repent? Where's the judicial empathy?
When the Messiah judged the world, he knew what sin was by what sin does. But he also knew what faith was by what faith does also: sin kills, but hope springs eternal.
The Messiah therefore had two philosophical options with which to understand repentance. But first, let's define repentance as the act of disobeying oneself (aka traitor, turncoat, chicken, sellout, punk). I mean, what else would you call a bunch of guys who kneel before a 1st century torture device, asking the god they just killed to forgive them, before turning around and drinking his blood? Cue up the 'Goods Times' theme music, please!
In Eternity, any man who goes against himself must have that prayer recompensed by an obedient Creator, which would kill him instantly. But if there were another man (a second Adam) who could intercede on behalf of the first, taking the divine recompense upon himself instead, then we have a fallen Universe such as it is now.
So if disobedience to oneself brings death;
But disobedience to oneself brings rebirth;
How is a church premised on repentance not the Church of Satan?
And how could a righteous god
conclude the repentant world worthy of redemption
without any loss of cosmic integrity
which would disqualify him as its judge?
To put it bluntly... Is it a sin to be a Christian?
Now we see the philosophical conundrum that faced Christ beforetime:
Two competing philosophical paradigms with regard to repentance:
Philosophical Argument A) Disobedience is sin BECAUSE it kills.
Philosophical Argument B) Sin kills BECAUSE it is disobedient.
If Jesus chose Argument B, he would have judged repentance as sinful irrespective of whether or not kills, and the Universe therefore, would be uncreated. However, Jesus judged disobedience to sin righteous (placing the emphasis on what sin does instead of what does sin):
(Ro 3:27) Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
In a saved Universe, there are 4 classes of people (4 spiritual paths with regard to obedience and non-obedience):
If a person obeys obedience, they live in perfection. (Jesus)
If a person disobeys obedience, they die in perfection. (Adam)
If a person obeys disobedience, they die in obedience. (Judas)
If a person disobeys disobedience, they live in disobedience. (Peter)
Now let's second-guess Grace and condemn Christ's decision to save us, citing Argument A: if we reject the philosophy of grace on the legal grounds that disobedience is unworthy of grace, irrespective of the consequences of it, then we radically alter the definition of sin. But Jesus lacked the judicial empathy to know just how dark my heart was, so he was not at all qualified to judge the Universe with regard to 'what does sin', he could only speak to 'what sin does'!
(2 Cor 5:21) For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
But if we reject grace philosophically, choosing to re-obey disobedience, then we would undo our born-again status, becoming dead-again! But this is utterly impossible since in order to re-obey disobedience, you must first disobey obedience, which would permanently disqualify you from becoming an obedient disobedient! There's no getting out of this!
(Heb 6:4, 6) For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 6If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
It is certainly possible to disobey God and still go to heaven, much to the chagrin of the more legalist Religions, but the answer to the question I put earlier in this essay must be answered in the negative: It is not a sin to be Christian, either under 'philosophy A' or 'philosophy B'.
In any relationship, communication is key;
but cosmologically speaking...
Communication requires 3 material elements (guided by two distinct essences) influencing each other -- in our case, the one belonging to us; the other to our Shekhinah. Thus, just as it is with sex, life requires corporeal, sensual contact -- the motive force that animates us interacting with a kindred spirit (who is as physically distinct as she is spiritually similar). That would be God. And just as Mary is our god, we are hers! God worships man, and the BVM is more than our creator, she is our lover and wife.
Apart from God, we have sex with ourselves -- but a relationship with oneself is a sin against one's own consciousness! That's why homosexuals are always masturbating (and masturbating children grow up as such), they are having a relationship with themselves, selfishly hording their sexuality, and once a man becomes self-infatuated, it is only a small step to seek out others that are like themselves. It is a rejection of life, of relationships and family, of communication, of nature, God, one's own flesh, and an assault against very consciousness; it is a form of intellectual barbarism, spiritual suicide, and the superlative unconscionable act; it is a perversion of Reality, the Second Death and the corporeal manifestation of sin itself:
(1 Cor 6:18) Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
Although Christ was unable to empathize with sinners, he was perfectly able to empathize with righteousness, and he knew that godly sorrow had the capacity to aspire to it. The Incarnation itself attested to the righteousness of the believers of Yahweh, their Christ-like love and obedience, and the true and sacrificial love of the Holy Roman Church. He was, for lack of a better word, an activist appellate judge legislating from the bench! But in God's Eternal Court, there is no separation of the judiciary and legislative branches just as there wasn't in ancient Israel (or the modern RC Church for that matter).
But what if the Grinch really had stolen Christmas? What might have been, had Christ not died for our sins? Would we all be roasting in hell? -- doing cannonballs in the Lake of Fire?
If the Virgin Mary was not 'punished with a baby', we would all have been aborted! The Universe would have been conceived in divinity, but dead-on-arrival; a virtual stillbirth. Thus, because Original Sin was already extant, Christ had two options:
1. die in the womb of a stillborn Universe
2. die on the cross of a Christian Paradise
Jesus chose what was behind door number 2 -- but before we show him what he's won! let's see what was behind door number 1:
[Door #1] If Christ had vetoed mankind's 'Baal-out' package, he would have walked away from the cross unscathed, leaving it up to God the Father to Baal-out the Universe (only he actually becomes Baal and destroys it instead!) And once sin is transmuted onto the Theotokos, the last word in the Rosary becomes the only word in the Rosary! In that very instant, we would repent and be fire-baptized, but a day late and a dollar short because Mary would be an Immaculate Misconception, corrupted by our original sin as an infant Messiah renders the ghost in her leprous arms. As we fall on our knees and pray, our Goddess instead falls prey to our sin, leaving us dangling in an elemental miasma emptier than that which scientists erroneously consider the vacuum of outer-space! Now of course, this is a highly specious and facetious rendition of an abortive existence since the amount of spacetime it would take to accomplish this horror show would be subatomic, requiring a virtually non-existent 'Little Bang'!
But how long would it take for that virtually non-extent Universe to revert back to the elemental miasma from whence it was formed? I know! -- let's ask the skipper!:
No phone! No lights! No motor car!
Not a single luxury,
Like Robinson Crusoe, it's primitive as can be.
It took six days to create the Universe, but only one nanosecond to destroy it -- and by the way, did you know that a young Raquel Welch actually auditioned for the part of Mary Ann? That would've cast the whole Mary Ann vs. Ginger debate in a whole new light!
Now in the old days, motion pictures were filmed on 35 mm film at 24 frames per second. Were you to make a movie about the world that never was, the entire movie would consist of one frame or, in other words, it word be a still -- a real but non-temporal movie, but it still would beat out Encino Man for the Academy Award!!
Fade to black!
Falasha
(Strangers in a Strange Land)
By the rivers of Ethiopia, his name is Jah
But in the land of his fathers, they call him Falasha
Of course, one must be right while the other is a flaw
For the European Jew to write the Ethiopian law
(Despite the fact that their blood is more 'polluted' than them all!)
Too bad Solomon isn't around to make this historic call
Cuz he'd probbly tell the Ashkenazim of their religious faux pas
Before they branded him a stranger too... Selah!
Nights in White Satin
Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
No, I haven't forgotten
What a wonderful friend
(What a wonderful woman!)
You've been all along
Tell me how can a human
Sing so heavenly a song?
Cuz I love you
I love you
I love you...
Girl in black satin
In a world full of sin
That the only begotten
Gave his last breath to win
(Gave his last breath to save!)
Like a lover forlorn
But the love we both have
Is forever adorned
Yes I love you
