Simply, "progress", so-called, is destroying the earth.......
Simply, "progress", so-called, is destroying the earth(land, air, water, vegetation, creatures) and perverting that which is Spirit(Light, Life, Truth, Love, Peace, Hope, Grace, Miracles, Faith, etc.) ;-(
Postings have been made at TheDestructionOfTheEarth.Wordpress.com concerning such destruction and perversion and also concerning The Creator's(GOD, Father) promise that HE will "destroy those who destroy the earth(HIS Creation)!" (Rev11:18c)
Yet there is a Living, Lively Hope!
However, such Hope is not for that which is of the earth, earthly and fleshly, but there is a Living, Lively Hope for that which is Spirit, Heavenly and Spiritual.
Hope for that which is Spirit is Alive because "progress", which is the product of mankind's "imag"ination, can pervert, yet not destroy that which is Spirit! For that which is Spirit is Real, and that which is Real is Forever!
So no matter how perverse this world's systems of religion become, that which is Spirit can only be abused and perverted, not destroyed!
That which is Spirit is Eternal.......
As for that which is called "religion".
"Pure religion and undefiled before GOD The Father(Creator) is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction and to keep oneself uncontaminated by the world." (James 1:27)
Simply, every other religion is impure and defiled!
As stated previously, "that which is called ""progress" is of mankind's "imag"ination and can pervert, yet not destroy, that which is Spirit", and so it is that this world, and it's systems of religion, have their version of "Light", which can be turned on and off;
Their version of "Truth", which is of the "imag"ination;
Their version of "Love", which should be called lust;
Their version of "Peace", which needs be enforced;
Their version of "Hope", which is but a desire for temporal "things";
Their version of "Faith", which is powerless;
Their version of "Grace", which is the liberty to "do your own thing";
And sadly, the favorite color of this world's religion is gray ;-(
So come out of the shadows! And as is said by many, "Get Real"!
Once again, "only that which is Spirit is Real, and only that which is Real is Forever"!
Hope is there would be those who "see" that The Life is in and of The Spirit. Those who "see" will no longer have their portion with the multitudes who are destroying the earth(and, air, water, creatures, vegetation) and perverting that which is Spirit(Light, Life, Truth, Love, Peace, Hope, Faith, Grace, etc.) ;-(
Simply, each breath(Spirit) you take is a revelation of The Source of Life.
And "A Simple and Spiritual Life is the only Life that will survive!"
Forever.......
So "set your affections on Heavenly things" and be not of those "whose god is their bellies because they mind earthly things". Be not of those who "love this world and it's things" and who are "progress"ively destroying the earth(land, air, water, vegetation, creatures) and perverting that which is Spirit(Light, Life, Truth, Love, Peace, Hope, Faith, Grace, etc.).......
Peace, in spite of the dis-ease(no-peace) that is of this world and it's systems of religion, for "The WHOLE world is under the control of the evil one" (1John5:19) indeed and Truth.......
Truth is never ending....... TheDestructionOfTheEarth.Wordpress.Com
