The Acceptance of sin.

The separator between good and evil. How sin is determined and defined and that choice falls to all men, individually. So as I write I mean this not to be offensive yet it will be to some and for that I say it is only my opinion as I see it by works and deeds of people and not what they say or profess. So please do not be offended but perhaps consider.
Certainly people do not like hearing it. Why would they? Then they would have to do something about it if in the slightest they thought it applied to them. No it is easier to block, redirect, ignore and go through life more happily, yes and living a facade.
So the acceptance of sin has evidently become part of our national culture. Sin being defined as the very worse of actions against God and man. Why do I say that? Well it is so obvious one can literally ask why many come to that opinion? Ok lets see if we take the multitude of situations today and come to some type of understanding of that opinion? Everything from Usury to illegal workers, to greed, foreclosures, to materialism, to the bankers role and investors and layoff's, the dismantling of America piece by piece, the war and the rape and pillage of America and place that all on the side as givens what do we do with the following?
Elderly people in their 70's being forced out of their home, a home they lived in for over 25 years, because of a severe sickness that has financially ruined them even with their so called coverage. Their friendly banker who says they are no longer "credit worthy" and will not help and at 73 they having to find someone who will rent them an apartment because they can't get past a credit bureau credit check due to low scores. Interest on Credit Cards at 32.9% or more and behind. Yes, as I wrote a month or so ago, hurry up please and die.
How about billions for bailouts of happy investors and giant corporations while average people get their help cut to the bone. Elderly, young families, handicapped, severe illness, unemployed. Yes but plenty of dollars for those investors and yes we can take all the risk away because we will let the American people carry that in every way possible.
How about that American dream that was the foundation of this society and nation. No longer unless you HAVE and only for the HAVE, fact. Young couples who have no hope of ever owning a home. Can't afford the ones they re in. Can't get refinanced and are not making enough to survive. If they are lucky to have decent parents that are helping them and those who say they have to learn for themselves its a cruel world. Yes thanks for building it and allowing it.
How about those price increases. yes when costs go up the business is sure to pass along the increase immediately. They do this in price increases all away along the line and they do it in repackaging the product into getting less for the same or more. Hey they need to make a profit. Yes but when fuel prices and costs go down, do you see it passed back? No they say it takes months to get it into the pipeline. Are they for real and are you for believing it? We all know we will never see it change down. What does that say?
The bottom line is this, please don't tell us there are no problems and please do not tell us these candidates will make change, please. How can you and how dare you based on their deeds to date? They have literally destroyed people . Now don't get me wrong some people have done it to themselves but not all. They have been hit by circumstances, greed, abuse and everywhere they turn they get a dose of the same. Uncaring corporations who have the "right" given to them by these very same so called believers and leaders to abuse and heap even more hardship upon people. Yes and their agents, those that work for them, who execute their system, those in India who speak English but can't comprehend it, who read from scripts and say over and over and over "have I helped you", yes nice people but can't do. How about those who say "unfortunately" or our system doesn't work that way, over and over and over. Those who literally ignore you, pay or else. And yes they execute the slave masters wishes, robots who care for themselves. Yes and many out of fear they will be next on that list of suffering. Yes in their hearts they know. Always, I understand but I'm sorry, I can do little to nothing.
So while there has always been a core of average America and what those who have call the "middle class", that middle class they define as making $95,000 and above, that is slowly going by the wayside, to be no longer. You have just two groups now, the have and the have not and in my opinion the arrogance of the have permeates society in all forms. Jealous, no, just angry at what it is by the signs and symbols and their deeds. Decency, values and character to be no more as once perceived.
Yes, please don't sit there you who HAVE and dare tell us this is not sin. Frankly I don't care if you call yourself religious or even a Pastor, Priest, Cardinal, Rabbi or whatever if you condone and allow what is happening all across this nation and in this world you sin. Only now do we hear these who brought us this mess say there are problems, only now and because they have an election to win. Just a short time ago America had no problems, as 57% of Republicans feel even today. In my opinion it speaks a lot about their character.
As professed Christian believers know of the story of Jesus in the Temple and know anger is acceptable. It is to be used when your neighbor or anyone is being exploited, used, taken advantage of. It is the qualifier that separates the wheat from the shaft. Yes believers are to speak out, take action, as Jesus did not sit on you're a_ & s. You are to be angry and you are to address your anger to those who perpetuate the wrong.
So my reasoning is this. Even though a "professed believer" and one may understand they are saved as a Christian if they confess and believe in Jesus Christ how can they be when they do NOT Do His works? "Why do you call me Lord when you do not follow my commands"? Ok, that said, He died for all my sins, the entire batch. So here is the real kicker and I invite all those who understand scripture to chime in, why not take, exploit, covet, abuse . Hey I go to church, I tithe, I give, I am a good person by my definition. Let those low lives help themselves. I'm saved.
Now I understand the answer, yet I fear the masses who do profess and say they believe do not. In fact they truly believe they are saved. They fulfilled the criteria. They are "Born Again". No in fact they are far from it but don't even recognize it. Y es like it or not, as I said, if you reason with yourself it is fact and truth and you must do something. Therefore if you get mad, upset, offended then you just might want to sit back and consider what I am writing to? You should not condone, sit complacently and idly bye and do nothing.
It is about numbers. Those who read and those who don't. Why because those who don't, as my friend says, don't give "one rat's a & s.
I for one cannot understand how the churches and synagogues are so full with those who profess but do and allow the opposite. Then again I also understand the gate is narrow. Yes, as I have said many times, what Jesus said on the cross is the only answer, "Father Forgive them they know not what they do" and that my friend really sums it all up and that my friends is what they must hope for.
