Within The Creation Program, viruses have arisen. As soon as anyone does something good, viruses try to corrupt it.
A virus corrupted the Adam and the Eve Programs in The Garden. Countless billions of human programs since then have been corrupted. Businesses are corrupted by viruses that allow fraud and deception to destroy them. Political movements are corrupted by viruses of pride and vanity.
During our days in the clay, we see varying degrees of corruption in people and institutions. That corruption was programmed to be visible to us so that we could realize “The wages of sin is death” and live our lives accordingly, for better or worse.
The entire Creation Program, and our individual, humn programs, were downloaded so that we could understand the cause and effect relationships that culminate in the simple sentence, “The wages of sin is death”.
Sin follows inconsistency as surely as darkness follows dusk. We see damnable amounts of inconsistency in the zeal with which environmentalists worship their silly idols. A few years ago, the Sierra Club, a consortium of souls as lost as they are wealthy, officially favored the use of clean natural gas. “Natural gas is the perfect fuel.”, they said, back when there wasn’t much chance of finding a whole lot more of it.
Then, new, horizontal drilling methods were invented. Overnight, natural gas became cheap and abundant. As soon as energy from natural gas became plentiful and affordable, the Sierra Club immediately condemned it. They simply did not want people to be helped by lowering their costs of energy. Loyal environmentalists didn’t have a problem completely reversing their position.
It is universal that sin follows inconsistency. We can laugh at the inconsistent, who are easily mocked. But, snickering, and calling them names, like “pseudo-intellectual nincompoops”, only drives them more deeply into justifying being wrong. Then, they go farther off the rails.
It becomes apparent to all but the lost that sin follows inconsistency. It’s equally obvious that he wages of sin is death. Those who grow used to inconsistencies become inured to sin. The wages of sin is death.
Instead of mocking and maligning the souls of those who blow with the wind, our duty is to ask He Who programmed them to download within them a love for truth and a disgust for the intellectual embarrassment of never being right enough to not need to change.
We should ask The Loving Programmer to download the desire for an anchor within them that will let them find the joys of consistency. Ask Him to let them understand that the only true consistency is a milepost on the road to salvation.
The lost souls may be likened to pilgrims who missed the boat. Lots and lots of times.
