“If we were honest with ourselves, we put many gods before us to save us in our day to day lives.”
Gods, huh? How are you defining ‘god,’ then?
“We use doctors and medication to save us”
Yes, yes, i treat all of my doctors just like omniopotent beings. That’s why i get second opinions, uh-huh. And the history of artificial insulin is one of magic and revelation.
“We use insurance to save us.”
Putting money aside for later use is not quite the same as sacrificing a wren to fix the car after a fenderbender.
“We use mechanics to save us— The list goes on and on.”
No, it really doesn’t. Unless you’re using a definition of ‘gods’ that’s so watered down that any labor-saving device qualifies.
“Salvation in Greek means “all your needs supplied” like a baby is cared for.”
Insuring the car does not protect me from wasting money on a bumpersticker i misread or thought was cool 20 years ago. So, not ALL my needs.
“Jesus wants to be our Savior in all areas of our lives.”
Jesus is going to replace my bumper after a low-speed collision?
“Angels are just waiting for us to trust in God so that they can minister to our needs.”
This is why my religious relatives use insulin, because the angels are seeing to their needs?
"It will take time for most of us to completely trust God, but in the mean time our underemployed angels are waiting.”
So me ANYONE who doesn’t ever need a mechanic for their car because God and i might not think you’re a total wanker.
