1st Person Calvinism

Hurricane Katrina has come; gone.

Now the Aftermath begins.

Even Job's friends, whose best honesty was the lie, waited seven days to pounce.

But the only speech they know won't even wait that long to speak out through them.

They will ask "Why?" as if something terrible has happened to them. Indeed, many among them and all their apologists will mock at God expressly because it appears to them that the hurricane was such a no-brainer disaster/terror and the "God of the Christians" an emotional imbecile as regards the laws and widgets of human emotion to have wrought such a thing. They will deny God expressly on that very 'principle' ubiquitous among them.

But God is not mocked.

One of the effects of being encapsulated in non-creating speech is that those within it are deceived they have free will: freedom of action and speech. So when a hurricane or other disaster is sent by God, they look for cause and effect: something they did or failed to do as they are were the cause of the disaster. They do self-checks as best they can to determine what the problem is or was so as not only not to supposedly incurr God's wrath again but to be restored to a supposed time of favor.

They do not at all perceive that an enemy has long ago warred against them and that they need rescue from that enemy: sin. Indeed, their enemy keeps them in the death of constantly searching for emotional opporunity for the supposed free will and does nothing through them but sin.

When God sends a hurricane to tear the sin out of their hands forever for their own good, to separate them from the poison of sin in their hearts, they do not perceive this at all, but look to themselves as if they have done something wrong and look immediately to any who can help them be restored to a time of plenty through a wisdom of fallen human heart to God.

All together, those who are the victims of the hurricane and those involved in helping them, will not at all look to God  and be thankful for the blessing He has bestowed on them; they will all immediately think to give God some human emotional widgets so He will go away and leave them to their sin and indeed, add more emotional bounty within it besides.

Along with the diapers, bottled water, physical fist aid and home loans will be much false gospelizing. Tracts, radio admonitions, hell and damnation as well as 'the love gospel' will spread to every place. Emotional marshmellows dressed as aid workers willfan out, having planned their moves/goo years in advance in 'evanglelism conferences'.

The tracts are printed. The suitcase is packed. Take that extra bottle of suncreen.

The false Churches will swell for a time as each tries his or her best to out-do their neighbor in the display of temporary humility and shame for past sins--then shouts of joy for being 'forgiven' and 'healed'. But all of it, from the preacher and priest to the pew warmer will only do so explicitly to be both restored to and be a restorer of the emotional economy of sin, the world and the non-regenerate Church--the very thing from which they have, at least, been temporarily separated for their own good and blessing.

Those that receive in that emotional economy of sin are the false poor, those that give the false rich. Those that do not participate will be the 'extremist' and 'fringe elements' who supposedly 'do' the love of Christ incorrectly (you know, they will 'use their free will improperly' (according to Satan in the implication that free will exists at all)  because they will announce salvation as genuine new birth in Jesus Christ from the very lie to which the victims wish to be restored and in which those used of anti-Christ to restore them wish to remain 'wealthy' and validate their own lie of wealth by forcing a distribution of it on the 'lesser fortunate'.)

The restoration will be to the very same emotional economy of sin/anti-Christ and will be as smooth a transition as possible. The only thing to which they need no restoration is the speech and heart they all have in common and from which a hurricane cannot separate them.

They only desire new proofs of inclusion in the non-creating speech exactly like a helicopter from above reaching down and plucking them off a rooftop at the last minute. The only way their world could end was for them to be cut off from its non-creating speech. The rescue is the inclusion: to hear more of it. Each one wants assurance they are still among the people of the non-creating speech and non-creating heart.

Can you hear me? Hallelujah! Thank God you're here!! I thought it was the end of the world!

Each will comfort the other to keep the attention away, to escape from any emotional negative at all; especially, were it in their power, to escape one so large as actual and non-metaphorical new birth in Jesus Christ and permanent separation from any resemblance to their former pre-hurricane life.

1 Peter  1:22,23 Having purified your souls by obedience to the truth to unfeigned brotherly love, love one another out of a pure heart fervently;  being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the living and abiding word of God.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
