Freedom of public discussion? 

Some said on the day that we can talk about everything! What’s the problem?

Others said we can’t, and that there are many things we can’t talk about.

I decided that the former must be people who agree with the mainstream media woke views, and so for them there really isn’t a problem. The latter don’t, and so they do have a problem!

What we say or don’t say has consequences. Nevertheless, public discussion of important issues is necessary for seeking wise ways ahead for issues in society.

Even beyond this are the words of Jesus regarding all of what we say…

But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.

Matthew 12:36 (NIV) (http://www.laridian.com)

What do you think?

We should ask this…

Where do you stand with the big issue of Climate Change?

We all have an opinion about this! As well, we would all base our individual strong opinion on what we would claim to be strong scientific evidence and reasoning. To be really honest, we should say there is some belief in it too. 

However, when that discussion has cooled down, shouldn’t we also be wondering, “What does God think about what we humans refer to as ‘Climate Change’?”

One problem immediately comes up, as seen in the market yesterday. You can see the results of the opinions. Many voters didn’t even believe in a God. They, therefore, can opt out of answering the question.

Some there thought that it wasn’t even God’s fault, but all a result of the big corporations of the world making massive mischief with the climate for the sake of their profits.

Others seem to be disappointed with God in letting Climate Change happen.

Many consider the solution to be within our human capability. 

This is reflected in the words of a world leader recently when he claimed it was “one minute to midnight” for humanity. Some other leaders declared it was our “last and best chance” to save humanity. I realise that most of the world leaders, elite and media moguls would not consider God to exist at all, let alone having anything to do with this. 

Should we think of God coming into any of this at all? If the God of the Bible exists, does he think there is an issue, diagnosis first, and second, what the treatment would be, if needed? 

There are many contenders for this ignominious category!

Things like Marxism, Climate change, trafficking, Covid, alarmism. The list could go on.

Something even more wrong than trafficking

I am thinking about something even more foundationally wrong than trafficking.

It would be reasonable to say that none of us are ‘angels’, wouldn’t it? In other words, a bit like asking a bunch of friends together, “have you ever told a lie?” The answers would range from “everone does”, to “no-one’s perfect”.

We get the idea that we all do and have done wrong. To expand that, we could say we have all rebelled against God, and some way or other, have hurt other people. It would be a brave, if not deluded person, who would claim they are different to the rest of us in this.

That would be my choice 

We need to have a deep think, turn around and turn to God.

Jesus put it like this:

For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.

Matthew 15:19 (NIV) (http://www.laridian.com)
