A Tree shall be Known by the Fruit that it Bears
I find it quite humorous when I hear people claiming
to be one thing or another. Claiming to
be a republican, a Democrat, or an Independent but the thing that seriously
bothers me when people claim the title of Christian and yet act like a total
hypocrite.
Hypocrisy is defined as “the practice of claiming to
have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform;
pretense” and if we are to be honest with ourselves and those around us, not
one person can ever claim to not have claimed to be one thing while their
actions depict something else. I don’t
think that any one mortal can ever claim that they have not fallen into this
trip at least one time or another in their lives. Because we are human, and accidents happen,
it is okay to admit that we have faults and work to fix them instead of
covering them up but of course many of us will go to our earthly graves
pretending that this has not or currently happened to them. Hence the title of
this article.
Here is how we got here. After the devil got his butt handed to him
when he tried to take over heaven, God not only evicted him from heaven forever
but added insult to injury by making him form the worlds for his newest
creations. Noe the devil, refusing to be
outdone, decided to add a few landmines in the utopia that God was making him
create for a species that he felt was far inferior to he was. One of these landmines was exposed in the
Book of Timothy when he wrote that “money was not the root of evil, it was the
love of money that is the root of all evil”.
This landmine continues to explode in our faces and
take down many a soul condemning them to al life of servitude to a false
master, a false God, the devil. It began
when the religious leaders of the early Old Testament times sought golden idols
and robes to prove that they were of better stock and smarter than all the
rest. To evidence that they and they
alone had the wisdom and intelligence to lead this world and that after the
laws of God, their voices was the law. God may have endowed man with the
authority and domain over the planet, but he never gave anyone, except himself,
over the human species and any inference to the contrary is a clear act of hypocrisy.
Money does not and never will make anyone a monarch, it only makes those filled
with hypocrisy a moron.
So, as you go through life and see those such as the Heritage
Foundation claiming to be Christian, but their behavior says something else,
then the only real title that can be associated with them is hypocrite. It is the only label ever muttered by Jesus to
describe that tree based on the fruits that it bears. Politicians who claim that it’s the money in
politics that is damaging politics yet chase big money donors for their
campaigns-hypocrites. Individuals who
claim the title Christian but does not believe with all their heart, mind,
body, and soul that God is Lord and treat others as they wish to be treated, hypocrites.
Judges who claim the title of justice and fairness but are swayed by cold-hard
cash-hypocrites. CEOs who claim to be all about their workforce but seek ways
to manipulate the rules to increase their bottom line-hypocrites. People who claim
to be for freedom but seek any reason to restrict the freedoms of others, hypocrites.
If you wish your tree to be tried and true then seek to bear that fruit and when
your time is over, on this earth, you will not have to worry about being denied
your place in heaven.
A TREE SHALL BE KNOWN BY THE FRUIT THAT IT
BEARS AND NEVER BY THE LIES USED TO CLOTHE IT IN RIGHTEOUSNESS!
