Prophets and Professors
There is a reason Jesus Christ commissioned us to go out and preach the Gospel to all nations (blood lines). People believe things based upon what they hear. Simple. No one is omniscient and we all rely up on the word of others to determine what is true. There isn’t enough time or bandwidth in our lives to figure out for ourselves what is true. That’s why we have “education” — it accelerates that process. But not all that is taught is true, not by far:
Many of us believed a fat old white man somehow fit down the chimney every Christmas Eve carrying a huge sack of gifts, and that somehow he made it to every chimney around the world traveling by a sleigh towed by flying reindeer.
When we grow up we are taught another lie: that life comes from non-life and that entropy works in reverse. These are the foundations of Evolution. Our teachers believe God is a myth and that there is no Judgement Day — they say that only eternal nothingness awaits us in the grave. These are the stories/myths they tell without any proof at all. This is their “gospel.”
There is a certain attraction to a God-less and Judgement-less existence — it means we will never be called into account for our lives. It seems innate in us that no one wants to be told what to do, and I think God allowed for that — he would have willing children, not mindless slaves.
The truth? Judgement is eternal, final, and all encompassing — no one gets away with anything. God knows the thoughts and intents of the heart; no excuses ever. All becomes clear and made right on the Judgement Day.
There is a class of people called teachers who are paid wages (from our taxes) to teach the “truths” of life and the world we live in. We may not think of them as religious teachers or priests or prophets, but the fill the same role: they teach — propagate — “truth.” Public school teachers are disciples of greater teachers — they were accredited by university “professors” who granted to them a public distinction of authority — a “degree” of education. …
