All this greed is part of America's filth and corruption before it's final judgment and destruction.
It's in the book...
Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries which are coming upon you.
Your riches have rotted and your garments have become moth-eaten.
Your gold and your silver have rusted; and their rust will be a witness against you and will consume your flesh like fire.
It is in the last days that you have stored up your treasure!
Behold, the pay of the laborers who mowed your fields, and which has been withheld by you, cries out against you; and the outcry of those who did the harvesting has reached the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.
You have lived luxuriously on the earth and led a life of wanton pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.
James 5

Ezekiel 16
No eye looked with pity on you to do any of these things for you, to have compassion on you. Rather you were thrown out into the open field, for you were abhorred on the day you were born.
“When I passed by you and saw you squirming in your blood, I said to you while you were in your blood, ‘Live!’ Yes, I said to you while you were in your blood, ‘Live!’ 7 I made you numerous like plants of the field. Then you grew up, became tall and reached the age for fine ornaments; your breasts were formed and your hair had grown. Yet you were naked and bare.

I've been a sports fan all my life. For the last 30 years or so the only thing I would watch on tv is sports, but it's getting so bizarre and in-your-face idolatrous that I'm going to have to quit that, too. It kind of started with the Super Bowl as a test case to see what level of insanity the American public would tolerate, I guess. The marketers determined that the sky was the limit (or perhaps the opposite direction--the bottomless pit!). Like you, I just can't wrap my mind around the level of greed which is considered not only acceptable in America, but positively commendable. "What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul?" "A man's life does not consist in the abundance of things that he possesses." "Those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into perdition and destruction."
ReplyDeleteTheory: The programming is only to supply eyeballs for the real message. This is a proven fact. For many years, the real message has been that of the advertisers. But the past couple of decades, more and more, the REAL message has been a world view, one diametrically opposed to the Biblical world view. Sports is the draw to get Joe Public to see and hear the propaganda, and it's been subtle. But less and less subtle as time goes on. The frog is being boiled alive, but hopefully some frogs will realize what's happening and hop out of the pot.
Hmm...$49.5 mil a year for a guy who when pressed, can't even make a coherent statement on the knee-taking. Maybe it's just hush money.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you doublenickel.
ReplyDeleteThe programming is programming, seducing the minds and hearts with a dark spiritual web of deception, idolatry always does that.
Like ancient Israel we American Christians have so many idols Sports is a big one.
I thank God I never saw the point of this strange religion, Th
e mascots are the preacher/clowns.
Even the names are paganism, religion,Titans, Chargers, Vikings and the religious devotion, the adoration and praise (screaming) loyalty and waste of time and money.
NO wonder why the church is so salt-less and weak and backslid.
The devil controls every aspect of this fallen world.
It is so tragic that so many will spend eternity in hell and be such experts at football, baseball, soccer, teams & stats and totally ignorant and uncaring of God and His eternal Word.
As you wrote, 'The frog is boiled alive' all that's left now is to bury it.
Thanks
