Not true. I mearly speak the words, it is the Spirit of God which convicts the hearts of man. It is the Bible which says that if you hear His voice do not harden your heart.
It is still men who do the talking and writing not God. God remains ,as always, silent. It is not possible to harden your heart against that which does not ,nor ever has, spoke to you.
There are only two options when one is presented with the Word of God, either you accept and submit or you reject it and maintain control of the destiny you have chosen.
Or realize that it is a work of men ,faulty and barren of content, except in the context of the times when the supernatural was the explanation from people who knew nothing.
If I had not told you that the ship was sinking then I would be responsible for your death, it is the same as if I had killed you myself. But if I tell you the ship is sinking and you do not heed you are reponsible for your own fate. I cannot choose for you, you live or die acourding to your own choice.
But there is no ship sinking here. It is just the running wild of imagination over the long ago words of tribal people living without understanding of the forces about them.
You assume that the conciousness of man is flawless and without fault when you yourself are proof that it is not.
You assume much about without benefit of any real insight. In what way is consciousness flawed or not flawed? I fail to see how you make this claim with such arrogance.
Man is flawed, he will lie, cheat, and steel just to get a leg up on those around him, to gain power, fame, and fortune.
I will grant you that men do just such acts. They also tell truths , remain faithful, and give from their wealth to others without need of reward or fear of punishment. And they will do so without gain or recognition or financial reward.
The heart of man is wicked and seeks after wicked things, but man does not want to hear this message. He wants to have his ego stroked, he doesn't want anyone to tell him that he isn't perfect just the way he is
No doubt some men are this way. So what? The deeds of the few do not reflect that of all. The message is flawed and of little value.
He doesn't want to know that there is a Being far supperior to him that will one day reqiure him to be acountable for his actions.He doesn't want someone to tell him that if he invests in imorality his return will be imorality multiplied
There is no good reason to accept this is true in the least. In my experience the facts are that there is no accountability brought to actions against a man except by other men. Again God is conspicuously absent.
If he invests in hate his return will be hate in great measures. This is the premise behind "You reep what you sow." Man does not want to hear this. He wants to have his ears tickled, so he gathers around him those who will tell him what he wants to hear, and in so doing becomes deaf to the truth. Hearing they do not hear. Hell is real and the world is headed there in a hand basket. The planet earth is sinking into hell. For the love of God get out now while you still can.
I doubt there is any measure taken against men after they die that matches this scenario you lay out. It is again the prose of ancient long dead people who have come and gone no longer to trouble the world or be troubled by it that bids your own writing to such troubled sentences. It must be difficult to deal with the world from your POV.
We are mortal and we have our moment in the sun and too soon it fades to waste time with such childish concerns over mortality and the fear of living much less dying.
