Question 6: Deeper Dive

6. Is ignoring God's Plan ever a Good idea?
[Pure Ignorance Created the Bubonic Plague]
By Ignoring God's Plan Half of Europe died.
Do you know what plague today,
based on ignorance has killed 10x
More people than the Nazi Holocaust?

Is ignoring God's Plan a Good idea?

Why is Ignoring God's Plan not a good idea?

1. It doesn't make our problem go away. 

2. It usually makes things way worse.

Note: Procrastinating is no better than ignoring.
It also makes things worse.

The longer we wait, the more our problems build up. The harder it becomes to get them under control, because they tend to compound and multiple (like the example below). That makes our problems much harder to fix down the Road. 

It's very much like when we procrastinate taking the trash out of our house. 

What happens as we procrastinate? 

First: We invite flies to nest in our trash.
As they breed, so does mold & fungus.
This creates an environment for germs: bacteria & disease to grow.
Spiders, cockroaches & centipedes come to the feast.
Mice & Rats to do the same.
Fleas & lice ride on the backs of mice and rats--they carry the plague.
They spread the bubonic plague.

Before you can stop it: One half of the urban European Population is dead from the plague--in 7 years. 

That's what happens when an entire continent stops listening, and obeying God. People became so ignorant, they left their trash, garbage, and feces right outside their front door. Thus, creating an environment for their own destruction.

Can you imagine the ignorance? What could be worse than that?
Sadly, it gets worse. Much worse.

When we neglect, ignore, and reject our God Given Responsibilities:
bad things happen inside of us, and all around us. 

We can often measure the level of our suffering, to the level of our procrastination, and our direct neglect & violation of keeping God's laws.

DID you know, that's how the bubonic plague happened?
They just decided to live in their own trash?!!! 

Ok, here's a quick rabbit trail ... but please bear with me. It will tie this whole history lesson together. This explains how & why things got worse. Much worse.

You may note that: due to Christian Superstitions & racial hatred, Jewish Communities were blamed for bringing the plague that engulfed most of Europe. They were accused of witchcraft, and of poisoning the wells of CINO Christians. 

The CINO Christians claimed victim status. Then, they justified their wicked violence against their innocent neighbors. 

The irony here is that the "CINO Christians" killed the very ones they should have been learning from, to avoid the terrible plagues--they themselves caused.

The ignorant "CINO Christians" kept their vile living habits, and vile living lifestyles, and destroyed the very lives of those who were able to deliver them from their horrific plague.

• CINO = Christian in Name Only. CINO'S are clearly not true followers of Christ, because they do NOT keep Christ's Commandments--but they still claim his religion. They walk in ignorance, superstitions, idolatry, and rebellion to God.
  
  Today, they are commonly known as false converts. Many churches, led by CINO church leadership, have been  have been filled with CINO Christians throughout history. They can often draw huge crowds to follow after them, and their false teaching to ignore, and to NOT keep Christ's Commandments, are infamous. Jesus poses this simple question that exposes them?
  
  "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord,
  and do not the things which I say?"
  
  

Here's were it gets much worse:

 The ignorant (Victim based) CINO Antisemitism resulted in horrific pogroms (persecutions) across Europe. Entire Jewish communities were rounded up, expelled, or burned alive (and of course their beautiful clean homes, tools, and trades: and everything of value was confiscated, (and all their most precious scriptures were burned). Ironically, those where the scriptures that could have stopped the plague.

Where did all the money go? To the CINO Christian Leadership,
holding the religious and political power of the day.

• So who are the true evil villians in this Story? The Jews? --Evil is as Evil Does:

  • 1 John 3:8 (KJV): "He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil."

  • 1 John 3:10 (KJV): "In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother."

  • 1 John 3:7 (KJV): "Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous."
     

The CINO leadership, would soon trash and burn the most value part of their Jewish communities--The Word of God. Ironically, instead of burning their own trash and filth, which would have stopped helped to stop THE PLAGUE itself, they burned God's Holy Word, which caused the plague to be 50x more severe that it ever could have been. 

As victims, they burned the very solutions to their problems, and continued on in their self-righteous filthy living, having slaughtered people God could have used to stop their plague. They hated the good, and loved the bad. It's no wonder we called that the Dark Ages. They burned and buried the very Truth that could have saved them.

When evil "is a foot," follow the money, honey.

[Such evil does not come down from heaven!  --James 3:14-18] 

"Driven by mass panic and antisemitism, Christian mobs destroyed roughly 360 Jewish communities across Europe. In cities like Strasbourg, Mainz, and Nuremberg, hundreds to thousands of Jewish people were burned alive or murdered by their neighbors before the plague had even reached its peak in those regions."  

Why? Because of Jealousy, superstitions, and herd instinct. 

Jewish communities had far lower cases of the plague in Jewish run settlements. Why? Because their God commanded them to take out the trash, without procrastination: --> and they obeyed God, and many were protected from the plague as a result. 

Why? Because the Jews were taught God's Hygiene Laws from the Bible. But medieval Christian Leadership did not teach God's Word (His Laws), God's Will, God's Ways, or God's Work---> to the common people. 

If they did, European communities could have been healthy, happy, blessed, and could have quickly identified & denounced, this wicked & evil behavior, evil habits, wicked superstitions (the breaking of God's Law), and would have rejected the ignorance, lies, and dirty living, that had created the plague in the first place. 

If they were following Jesus Commandments, there would be no place for the hatred, the evil, the jealousy, the greed, and murder, and the filthy living that many enthusiastically participated in.

Therefore, they would have never experienced the Bubonic Plague (nor the evil and diabolically wicked religious Inquisition, nor the reign of Terror, invented by the Roman Catholic Church--but that's another story).

Now--As a result of rejecting God's word: one half of all "urban christian communities", in Europe died in painful, ignoble, and humiliating deaths. 

And in the midst of it all, they did horrible things to one another. Especially to those who were innocent. That is exactly what ignorance did back then.

But the real problem is that is it fully active and alive today, just as much as it ever was back then. And it is still doing the same, or greater damage today. I think you know what I mean.

One more sidenote: (Please bear with me.) The medieval plagues were nothing new. Because CINO Christians & their Leadership rejected God's Word, and His History, The were ignorant of How REAL Christians operated, in previous similar events, who chose to follow The Commandments of Jesus, living by the Grace, Beauty, and Spirit of the LIVING God.

This contrast is accurately predicted in Jesus' Parable: The SHEEP and the The GOATS. (See: The SHEEP Matthew 25:33-46). 

It is actually uncanny how perfectly this parable describes the difference between the CINO Christian behavior who broke Jesus's Commandments, And the "Keeping Jesus Commandments Christians"  behavior of the Early New Testament Christian Community. 

In summary: What SINO Christians DID in pure ignorance, was completely despicable, avoidable, and 100% against God's Word and Plan. Their actions gave Christianity a black-eye. Which is similar to what fake CINO Christianity did during: 

• The Roman Catholic Inquistion--another holocaust.

• The Nazi Germany Holocaust, again all across Europe, and 

• The American Holocuast, that is happening today--all across America. 

It is despicable what modern Christianity is allowing today, a modern holocaust, based on Modern Day Evil Demonic Superstitions: "My Body, My Choice" Resulting in the slaughter of the innocent unborn.  66.1 million AND counting, since allowing Roe v. Wade, circa 1973. 

One, could easily say: It's not the churches fault. But is that true. Where was the Church? Why did church leadership bow down to all the evil laws and practices infecting our cities? Where were the preachers and teachers of righteousness. Where was the outrage? Where were the assemblies? Where was the united front against evil, where was the Voice of the King of Heaven? Silent? You say silent? Yes. Mostly silent, and fearful to speak out. Maybe lose my 501c3 status. Nuf said ... 

This present day holocaust is every bit as evil, and is filled with the same demonic narcissistic superstitions, and victim mentality, as any before it. Evil leadership promoting evil actions, and killing the real innocent victims, instead of living responsibly before God and man. They justify killing in the name of convenience. How wicked is that?

Can you see the same patterns developing? You would almost have to be blind, both physically and spiritually, not to see the same patterns being repeated today. 

History just continues to repeat itself. Because the same evil people, keep following the same evil spirits--bent on Breaking God's Commandments. 

So What is the Pattern?

First, we remove the Word of God from Public Education. Just like they kicked the Bible out of public Education in Medieval Europe. They have burned the Bibles, throughout Christian History.

Second, we stop keeping Jesus Commandments.

Third, iniquity increases.

Fourth, the love of the majority waxes cold.

Fifth, they blame and kill the innocent.

Sixth, the Judgment of God comes down on the guilty. (Like it did in Sodom & Gemorrah, The Flood, The Plagues,  WWII. the AIDS epidemic, etc. You can the picture.

Seventh, Final judgment is Coming. Where all wrongs will be righted. And all Rights will be rewarded.

 For the time being: the darker, more damaged, more deranged, and more evil our society becomes, and the greater the judgement, we shall reap against us in the end. 

What we sow, we shall also reap.

All our actions are being recorded and written down in a book. Every one  will be reviewed, just like what happens in the Sheep and Goat Judgments.

Ok. So far we have seen what the Goats have done.
--CINO BELIEVERS.

Now. Let's compare that to what the Sheep have done.
--REAL BELIEVERS.

And it should go without saying: Let us model the Sheep behavior and not the Goat behavior. Why? Because God has give us a window into the Future, to see exactly what is coming our way. We have been warned, so we have no excuse.

In the blink of an eye we will all stand before Him. And be judged by what we did, and what we did not do. And that very hour is coming swiftly. 

When reading the Sheep Testimony below. We should be asking the question: Do we truly have what it takes to be the example God called us to be? If we don't have it now. Then we need to get it from God. Now is the time to correct that problem. We are not wise to procrastinate. 

First, we need to take out the trash (repent of whatever trash we haven't removed from our spiritual home), then we can see clearly what it is we need to do next, in accordance with keeping the Commandments of Jesus.

For a fuller outline of this problem and solution:
SEE: The Plague ... This turned out to be quite and excellent study!

Let's See: How Real, Obedient, Jesus Following Early Christians

Responded to their challenge during great Roman Plagues?

[This part of the Story is Inspiring !!!]

During the catastrophic Antonine Plague (165–180 CE) and the Plague of Cyprian (249–262 CE), the Roman Empire suffered millions of deaths. While Roman authorities and pagan elites famously fled cities and abandoned their own dying family members to avoid infection, early Christian communities chose to stay and care for the sick. Both Christian and non-Christian Historical experts, such as sociologist Rodney Stark, argue that this historically unprecedented communal response directly accelerated the growth of Christianity.

• The Survival Multiplier: Basic supportive care (hydration, food, and clean rest) can reduce mortality rates by up to two-thirds during severe outbreaks. Because Christians provided this care systematically to their neighbors, survival rates in Christian-influenced communities skyrocketed compared to pagan communities.

• The Letter of Dionysius: Bishop Dionysius of Alexandria described how believers applied these dangerous care routines: “Heedless of danger, they took charge of the sick, attending to their every need and ministering to them in Christ, and with them departed this life serenely happy; for they were infected by others with the disease, drawing on themselves the sickness of their neighbors.”  

They did this by Faith & through Grace: Following Jesus' direct Commandments. "

• John 15:12-14 (KJV)
  This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

By treating the infected as human beings made in the image of God, rather than vectors of pollution to be discarded, early Christians fundamentally transformed ancient public welfare.

"Cleanliness is Next to Godliness"

While this phrase is a modern idiom (popularized by John Wesley), the theology behind it is deeply rooted in the Levitical commands: “Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am holy” (Leviticus 11:44). God required His people to be structurally distinct from the surrounding nations. By keeping their camps physically pristine, their bodies clean, and their waste buried, Israel physically mirrored the spiritual purity and order of heaven.

The New Testament Spiritualization

In the New Testament, these physical washings are framed as an earthly shadow pointing to a greater spiritual reality.

• Hebrews 10:22 explicitly bridges the two concepts: “...let us draw near to God with a sincere heart... having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.”

The physical requirement of water purification evolved into the spiritual transformation symbolized by Christian baptism and internal sanctification.

Now, I know I pushed the limits on the length for answering that one question. And I am grateful for your patience and endurance to read this far. The recommended front page of a website is 400 words or less. And we've probably have broken that law, by 10 fold.

But here is the deal. The prize goes to the diligent.
May you continue in God's word, and be strengthened,
empowered, trained, and transformed in your walk with God.
As you persevere in Seeking MORE OF HIM!
And more of His Word. It will be worth it, in the End!

Shalom,

TPD
