NO "COSMIC BELLHOP" IS GOD
NO "COSMIC BELLHOP" IS GOD
God purposely placed man (male and female ) in this "garden," on this earth, to work it and to keep it. http://biblehub.com/genesis/2-15.htm
In so doing, God necessarily equipped man with all things required to do that, his work.
Without limitations, being perfectly formed and endowed, being made in God's own likeness and image, man was imbued with all powers and privileges appurtenant thereto.
Man was perfect in the beginning . Man is perfect now, truth be known! Which is why Jesus said "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect."
But, our conceptional knowledge of our actual and ancient perfection was lost in the dusty desuetudes of devolved time. It was impaired by the eons' continental rifts and drifts of history and biological evolution.
Today, mankind's poisoned self-perception of self is so weak, is so pitiable, is so fragile as to be dependent upon the consent of others, basically useless, fruitless .
Lacking confidence in themselves, of their own combined labor, some men have allowed those deceivers of men to lead them away from the glory of God in doing God's work, in taking care of God's kingdom.
Those deceived have deemed God to be man's own "cosmic bellhop," --ever alert to answer our prayers--instead of man being God's earthly bellhop ever alert to do God's will, to quote Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King's vision was clear, and collegial; his signally extraordinary achievements were and are legendary. Dr. King's work, deliverance of his folks, yet awaits completion by those with a sense of who they are, of whose they are!
