12/8/2022: The Tower of Sin’s Cycle

Leave a comment

Think tower of Babel (Gen. 11:1-9). Our different languages in modern times are translatable through means of an app on a cellphone—it’s as though we’re at the verge of speaking one language again.

Synchronization

Now that our “Vanity“, “Status” and “Beauty” have synchronized, nothing we propose to do will be withheld from us. We have a vast network of remote servers around the globe synced to operate as a single ecosystem. This ecosystem serves as the link to all information, but more than that it will breach the boundaries between life and death. The uncrossable chasm between the Sheol of death and Paradise of life will be crossable for the sake of freedom to all souls.

It’s strange to hypothesize the endgame of sin’s cycle as a person who was once in this cycle, and still recovering from relapses—not having been captivated, but distracted from the truth as I engage the lie.

Globalization

We’ve accomplished major progress to global conversion since the technological breakthroughs of the 1800s and birth of the internet (January 1, 1983), cabling our world’s connection across the ocean floor. With globalization in place our potential is limitless; the souls of our world will become as one soul where trade is subject to inevitability.

With sin’s cycle of lust and pride in the love of oneself it’s only but time that the love of the Father…not even myth or folklore; Matt 24:22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the  elect’s sake those days will be shortened. It feels like the days are being shortened.

1 John 2:15-17
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

How does one escape from this cloud of sin since all people sin and fall short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23)?

“What is the world,” I asked the internet: “the earth, together with all of its countries, peoples, and natural features.”

Following that same link you’ll find among a host of interpretations Wikipedia’s excerpt: “In its most general sense, the term “world” refers to the totality of entities, to the whole of reality or to everything that is.”

I investigated Wikipedia’s article link more in-depth: “In Christianity, the term often connotes the concept of the fallen and corrupt world order of human society, in contrast to the World to Come. The world is frequently cited alongside the flesh and the Devil as a source of temptation that Christians should flee. … In Eastern Christian monasticism or asceticism, the world of mankind is driven by passions. Therefore, the passions of the World are simply called “the world”. Each of these passions are a link to the world of mankind or order of human society. Each of these passions must be overcome in order for a person to receive salvation (Theosis). The process of Theosis is a personal relationship with God.”

It appears the internet “knows” the gospel, although; I don’t exactly align with Wikipedia’s semantics, but it’s useful. For instance: the passions of the World are simply called “the world”. The passions are what the apostle John described, and I’ve diagramed as three mechanisms—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.

Experience

Whenever I consider all that is in the world, as though holding the world in the palms of my hands, everything accessible to experience the fullness of life and pleasure of it, every place available to travel without boundaries. What an inescapable contraption—the lust of my flesh. I can feel a force of desire for ultimate success and freedom to food and sexual encounters across the globe. I will have wealth and multiply love as the kings of old. I will live like a god in the wisdom of vanity, all is vanity. I love this world, and this world loves me! I will invent and create into this world things upon which generations will remember my name.

If I were your friend saying the above to you, how would you respond? Is there anything wrong with what I’ve said? If so, define wrong.

11/21/2022: The Status Of Sin’s Cycle

While I’m in this contraption that describes “experience” (albeit vanity) , you might be someone in the contraption that describes “status”. That…
