As the title says, Just a thought.
1 Thessalonians 2:18 Amplified Bible (AMP) 18 For we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, again and again [wanted to come], but Satan hindered us. source
It is satan’s business, his agenda and his aim to keep us apart; Christians apart from other Christians for fellowship and encouragement and apart from the Undisciplined, so they will not be converted.
May I propose a thought to you?
Romans 1:20.
It’s a familiar verse to us Bible Thumpers.
Have we considered the reason for the all-out assault Creation has weathered for many decades can be found in this verse?
It says the attributes, eternal power, divine nature have been clearly seen and we can come to some understanding of HIM through His creation.
Attributes. What GOD is like. Well, from creation, even without my Bible, I know He is way smart and way kind! How He constructed the planet, how it functions in harmony with the bazillion components of it; how mama birds feed baby birds; how dogs love humans; etc. etc. etc.
Eternal power. Just what I can see with my naked eye, let alone a microscope and a telescope, tell me nothing matches His power and it never runs out.
Divine Nature. Yep. Creation tells me I am not like Him. He is divine. I’m not.
So, if I want to know there is a GOD and that HE is good and that HE is kind and loves me, all I have to do is look around me; and even in the mirror.
Is it any wonder then that there would be those who would want to discredit, nullify or just flat-out keep us too busy to look?
First, I saw neither the pole dancing or the crotch-grabbing. I am grateful I missed it.
Albeit, I have been reading varied comments related thereto.
Considering that members of my family either have a degree in dance and/or have invested years taking dance classes; perhaps I can bring an added thought to the conversation table.
The disciple, skill and long workdays that went into the subject half-time show I cannot honestly overlook. However, from the descriptions, I have been given it was a total and completely wasted effort as to redemption, integrity, and wholesomeness.
Inappropriate nudity and perverted sexual expression look good on NO ONE. And I do mean NO ONE. The attractiveness of the human body being displayed is without relevance. There is no good thing to be gained from such behavior. Either male or female. The human body is an exquisite masterpiece and it deserves to be respected, treated with honor and dignity; presenting it publically like a piece of meat in a grocery store display case is reprehensible to the Creator Who designed it and should be to each of us living in each such masterpiece.
So, ladies (and yes gentlemen) stop peddling yourselves to the highest bidder. GOD designed you for better. And if you will stop long enough to ask Him (and wait for His Answers), He will enlighten you.
