Today, there is not much more than an information competition, and infotainment flood, between adversaries; and for the approval, affirmation, validation, praise of men. And let’s not forget… for their money! Everyone seems to be trying to “one-up” one another for attention, “likes,” “friends,” “followers,” and/or “clicks”. It’s just like “clicker training”! It hasn’t dawned upon us meat-heads, yet, that the reason why we are suffering from all of these fears, superstitions, paranoias, phobias, depression, aggression and attention deficit disorders… and why we are on all of the corresponding, prescription medications….; is because most of the “relationships” we currently have, are, merely… only… with computer screens!
There are so few, genuine, sincere, meaningful, heart-felt relationships anymore… let alone, true fellowship anywhere! We are become “masters of the facade,” experts on nothing more than our own, intricately woven fig-leaf aprons (*“our truth”); behind which, we continually and conveniently attempt to run and hide from the presence of God, dwelling in one another. “I love God, but I hate people!” and, “I have God! I don’t need you!”… our little, vicious, double-tongued, fork-tongued mouths prove… just how divided a house we are, against ourselves! We can’t, don’t even notice the confusion, the mixture in all of this??…
“For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: but the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. [*James 3: 7-10, 14-16 (KJV)]”
This brings up another quite controversial point, regarding “harlot christianity”: true holiness. “True holiness” because there is such a thing as “false holiness”. False holiness always emphasizes the outward appearance of things in the eyes of vain men and women, in an attempt to mask the self-righteousness lurking beneath the surface. True holiness is simply one of the many fruits, or outward manifestations, of our walking in our Heavenly Father’s unconditional and all-inclusive love; both in, and from our hearts… and specifically… toward one another as brethren, as well as toward all men and women!
“And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another, [*Ephesians 4: 23-25 (KJV)]” and again, “And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: to the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints. [*1 Thessalonians 3: 12, 13 (KJV)]”
