The riddle of mortality is the oldest question that exists, yet it is the most important. There is no one answer, any more than there is only one person. We are born, we live, we get sick, we get ruined, we die . . . and we continue.
We are here to learn to think outside the box. We must learn to think outside the narrow confines of atheist indoctrination if we are to be worthy of the intellect God constantly gives us.
If we never had to overcome challenges, we would never learn anything about ourselves. The greatest challenge we face is our own mortality. It comes through accident, disease, and the ravages of aging. What we learn through suffering is what awakens us.
The thing is, we are not supposed to ask an uncaring government to take care of our every need or allow that same government to do all our thinking for us. If we did so, would we learn any more than cynics or atheists?
If we never learned to think outside the box, we would live as passively as jellyfishes, and would be just as spineless.
In ages past, God healed everyone but that program had a number of drawbacks: abuse, bad habits, and other nastiness that people committed once healed, presuming on yet further healings. That did not help us at all.
God changed that program because we developed a very scant little rudimentary science by 2009, which is the most feeble beginning of a start on the very long journey before us.
We have grown a bit more like Him since 4004 BC. He is now ready to move us up from preschool to kindergarten. Make no mistake, we are here to grow. If we refuse to grow, He will hold us back from the next grade until we are ready. It has happened before and it will happen again. But as a human race, we will move up anyway.
This Universe that God created is in its earliest infancy as we speak. We have proven ourselves unworthy of His Grace time and again before now. But as this age closes and the next begins, He is ready to see us along to the next higher level.
It is a test of our eternal stewardship that we prove ourselves worthy to move on to the next grade. One test we must face is that we learn how to work together.
Demands for one-party political supremacy by leftists among us prove that we still have a lot of growing to do before we say goodbye to the simian state where we were when God started moving us upwards.
Will we finally admit that there is the unseen, which proves that we have finally learned something of worth, or will we fail the class yet again and have to repeat our last grade?
In Jesus' Name, I bid you peace.
