People joke about the way children repeatedly ask “why?” Well,
maybe more adults should start asking “why?” about some things.
For example: The words of the Doxology sung in many church services –
“Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here
below; Praise Him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son and Holy
Ghost. Amen.”
Why should God’s creatures (“all creatures here below”) praise Him if
“Pastor Oxymoron” (“Christian Hunter”)
http://www.all-creatures.org/heart/blog-20060131.html and his pals take pleasure in killing His creatures, and have the
colossal nerve to thank their Creator for it? Isn’t it obvious that the
creatures who praise God must have souls and spirits?
Why do so many Christians follow the dictates of “consensus” instead
of the Holy Spirit, whom they claim to follow? Isn’t this hypocrisy? How
can they sponsor and pray over “pig roasts” and “beef dinners,” ad
nauseam? I should mention here that pigs are actually more intelligent
than dogs, although no sentient creature should be slaughtered.
It’s also evident that these hard-hearted people don’t really believe
their Bible; for if they did, they would realize that they are treading
on very dangerous ground when they accuse animal rights advocates of
being ungodly. Simply put, compassion for animals – human or otherwise –
comes from God. According to Isaiah 5:20, Matthew 12:30-32, and Mark
3:28-30, when they call evil good and good evil, and blaspheme the Holy
Spirit, they may be committing the unpardonable sin.
And let’s not forget Matthew 7:13-14 –
13. “Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is
broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it.
14. “For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to
life, and few are those who find it.
and Matt 7:21-23 –
21. "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the
kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father who is in
heaven.
22. "Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not
prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your
name perform many miracles?'
23. "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart
from Me, you who practice lawlessness.'
