Puny humans

January 24, 2019 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

…quotes about mere puny mud-men and women of clay – us.


– From The Damning God 

“What God thinks.  God has spoken to man – through the Bible. And He is the One that made it all happen.  Doesn’t that sort of trump us all?  Shouldn’t the Truths of God take precedence over whatever it is that we play around with in our minds?

God is all that matters.He matters because on That Day, someday, we (every one of us!) will stand before Him, the Ultimate Judge, to give an ultimate accounting.  And if what you think is not what God thinks, then… who is out-of-line?  Who has the wrong “think”?  Is it God!?  Is it God that doesn’t have His thinking straight?  Or is it you?

And so THEN, what are you going to do in That Day?  Argue and plead with the Almighty?  You really think THAT will work?  You are the putty, the mud, in the Sculptor’s hands.  Is the mud to question the potter?  I stand amazed looking at the arrogant mud-man shaking his puny little mud-fist — at God, the Potter!  At God!  Ha!  What impudence.  What futility, despair, regret.

We need to be ready to meet our Maker.

The Damning God.
God is damn right  1, and you damn well better get your thinking right before it is too late.  There is hell to pay for those who don’t.

God is a damning God.  Without the forgiveness of Christ – you are a God damned puny mud-man.  Mere human.  2  And His judgment is eternal.  Your thinking is a vapor in the wind, whereas God’s Word is eternal – and real.” (Vapor: James 4:14; Job 8:9; Psalm 39:5; Psalm 39:11; Proverbs 21:6; Ecclesiastes 1:2)


I stand amazed
looking at the arrogant mud-man
shaking his puny little mud-fist
— at God, the Potter!
At God!  Ha!
What impudence.
What futility, despair, regret.
– From The Damning God 


 

– from What God Did for Man

GOD’S NATURE.  “The damnation of all who have sinned – is based upon God’s nature.  He is perfect, holy.  His justice requires perfection.

His condemnation of all sinners is not a capricious act, but rather – it is because of who He is, what He is – how He is.  There is no effective arguing with God, since He is the Creator, and we are merely His creatures.

We are mere puny mud-men, clay in the Potter’s hand.”


 

– from Why pray

“To us puny humans, everything God is in Himself, and everything God does in action — is extreme.  His power is extreme. His divine nature is extreme.  His knowledge is extreme.  His mercy is extreme.  His compassion is extreme.  All that He is – is extreme.

Romans 1:20

For since the creation of the world
His invisible attributes,
His eternal power and divine nature,
have been clearly seen,
being understood
through what has been made,
so that they are without excuse.

After all is said and done, we should be able to see that we are but mere puny humans. And God is greater than we.

Creator God formed us to bring Him honor and glory in everything: everything we aspire for, everything we are, everything we do, everything we think, everything we say (Mark 12:30; Luke 10:27: heart, soul, mind, strength, love)….

…It really does not take much brain matter for us to extrapolate God’s existence (as Romans 1:20 states: “…have been clearly seen.”)  The writer of Romans might say today, “What part of all that is plainly set before you – do you NOT get?”


 

– from Limited Thinking

“What experience do you have in the universe, to be a foundation for your thoughts – by you, yourself?  On what do you build your thoughts?  Is it only from you and others like you?  Do you live your own way?

God’s astounding thoughts are recorded in the Bible.  I am amazed, reading the Bible, at how He, The Potter, cared enough about us, puny little mud men… to lower Himself to our level and actually communicate His thoughts, His Way, His view of the universe.  Wow!

My unauthorized paraphrase of 1 Corinthians 6:9-10:

9 Don’t you know this!?
…that those who live their own way
will not actually get into God’s Kingdom?
They won’t have even the slightest share in it!

Don’t fool yourself by your limited thinking.
Not one person who lives their life their own way
will ever inherit the Kingdom of God or share in any part of it….”
–Swift’s
Amped-up Paraphrase of the Passage (AMPED-UP) – 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 


 

– from Vile To Jesus

“In the grip of our “yippeeee” lifestyle, we forget God and His ways.  It’s just too much fun, we think.  And it is true, we can do anything possible, but, as Jesus taught, there will be a day of reckoning.  We have total freedom here on earth, but there are consequences.  God does have standards.

What we do may be vile 2 to Jesus!  Do you really want to be vile, when being vile will land us in His Courts on That Day, condemned by Creator God the Judge, God-damned forever?  Wouldn’t you rather get right with your Creator?  Now, before it is too late?

This life is not all there is, but – it is the only life that matters for now.  This is it!  What ya doin’ with it?  Are you fast and free with all ye be, content to be mere mud?  Or are you living with eternity in mind, getting ready for that Judgement Day?  Have you made the choice?  It’s not too late to repent of that – and choose Jesus.”


 

– from  Your Way or God’s Way

“The philosophies of man, are man’s. They don’t reach God. God is totally too awesome for mere man.

God’s way, is His way.  He is far too huge to be messed with by you, or me.

We can not reach God on our own.  But God, for some unfathomable reason, reached down from His heavens, and made a way for us to reach Him.  Jesus….”

 


 

– from Be a little more Christian

“These days it seems so few know what the Bible really says about being a Christian. Many think it does not matter what you think.

They say: Follow whatever you prefer. Just call yourself Christian, and try to “be a little more Christian” every day: be nicer, kinder, less cranky, more tolerant, accepting of others. That’s what it’s all about… they say.

But a Christian is not a name you yourself can define however you want. There is no meaning at all if anything can be whatever you want it to be. Puny man: who do you think you are, to think you yourself can define what it is to be a Christian?

Funny one should call himself “Christian”, but say it does not matter what you believe!  How rational is that?”


 

– from Following Someone

“You are a mere man,  a created human, living-out your days on God’s earth until He then deigns to call you up front in His Court to His Throne of Judgement, and says to you, “What did you do with my Son, Jesus?”

…He will not ask you what you think.  He might not ask you anything.  Maybe your whole life will flash before you in an instant, and you will stand there confounded, condemned, with all your sin unforgiven – all on you.”

Why should God let you into His Kingdom?

Bentley – News on Todd Bentley

The charismatic movement has been troubled by unbiblical practices and teachings. I am amazed at how folks are so easily mislead. “Many have exchanged the truth for a lie and chosen experience over content.” Look and examine and see, and compare with what the Bible teaches.

False Prophets

“You may be asking yourselves, “How can we tell if a prophet’s message really comes from the Lord?”” -Deuteronomy 18:21. How can we distinguish the true from the false?

No Faith In Heaven

Faith will not be necessary in heaven. Faith and hope will be ¨done away¨with (1 Corinthians 13:v8). When we finally are brought into His Kingdom, instead of on this earth with His Holy Spirit, then we will have Him, not just merely faith and hope.

Christian Answers Regarding Islam

Christian Answers Regarding Islam 1. The Koran purports it does not contradict the Bible but supports it. The Koran declares that it was written to confirm the previous revelations and not to replace the Bible according to Sura 5:48 which says, “And We have sent down to you the Scripture with truth, authenticating what is […]

Biblical Homosexuality

…a Christian´s Perspective on Homosexuality Quoted from: http://www.indegayforum.org/news/show/31489.html Donny | April 18, 2008, 11:33am | # I’m up to the challenge of gay theology questions: In-hospitality towards others and “haughtiness” were the sins of Sodom. But Ezekiel is quite explicit about sexual sins being front and center as well. “Haughtiness” and the word “Gay” as […]

Inexplicable Joy

Heaven is a joyful place. That is hard for me to imagine… Everywhere I look around me, I see so many problems, issues and unresolved conflicts. But in heaven, they won’t exist anymore. There will only be joy because my sins have been paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ.  One of the main things that describes being in heaven is JOY. The word “joy” has a much deeper meaning than just happiness. To be happy can change so quickly. It can come and go in a moment. But joy…

Letter to Danny

We are continually bombarded by the fiery darts of the Evil One.  And when these little pricks hit us, we need to put-out the flames, quickly. Doubts, depression, feelings of inadequacy, troubles, unruly kids…, when they come at us, we “have to declare” the truths of God, and  we have to choose Truth over lies. 

Children’s Bible in a Nutshell

A quick overview of the Bible (tongue-in-cheek). A child was told to write a book report on the entire Bible. 

About Biblical Inerrancy

Would God give us erroneous documents and call them “His”? Dumb idea! God brought everything together to form the Bible. Evidence is overpowering as you read what the Bible is, and what it tells us. “It is the history of the Bible that makes it unique among ‘sacred texts.’ See who wrote the Bible, how its reportive style is backed by archeology and historians…” – Quote from “Why You Can Believe the Bible” (www.everystudent.com).

Oh what a day that will be!
Wow! To enter into the Kingdom of God - freely as His redeemed child. No cringing in shame, no burden of sinfulness before Almighty Holy God. I can only imagine.

Jesus, the second man, is the Lord from Heaven
"The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.” In 1 Corinthians 15:47 the Apostle Paul explained that Jesus, while on earth, was absolutely God-man.  He was not a mere man, ever.

There Is Only One God
Getting tired of people flippantly saying, ¨Oh my god!¨ Ever wonder who their ¨god¨ is!? Does that ¨god¨ know he is ¨theirs¨? Do you say that? We are quite the god-makers, are we not! What do you mean…“your God”?

God Is Not Distant
God is not some far away, distant-from-you, dis-concerned bubble of energy, inside some aura of mist on a mysterious planet far far away…. “And the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore” –Psalm 121:8

When it comes to God, who wants mere opinions?
When talking “God” and “Truth” – I really do not care what you think. You should not care what I think. What matters is “what God thinks”.
Lost I Came To Him Oh the wonder of that love of our fathomless Creator, to save me in spite of my self-centered soul. Lost and rebellious, He chose me. Pursued and wooed, what mystery – grace. I said yes to Creator God. To know…
Time as it really is Since Heaven is not regulated by time, the passage of time on earth is a separate event. *We will all step out of time together – into God’s presence, with no “time lag”,…The time it takes to go from earth to God's presence - is instant. There is no waiting around in the next dimension for earth time to finish, no midway point of gathering, no Purgatory. It will be an instantaneous experience for all mankind that ever lived. At the moment of death, our soul instantly leaves....

No Tolerance for Error
God is not sloppy nor wishy-washy.... There is no room at all – for error – when it comes to being right with God. You are either all in, or you are all out. Are you sure you’re in?

Simple View of Life  a simple view of everything. God of Everything that is – created everything. We are very fortunate that He is loving and kind, and really, really wants us.
Ashamed of Yourself?
Ever done something you are ashamed of?  Come on now, you’re sitting there by yourself – ‘fess-up.  Nobody listenin’ to your brain confess.  So... Yes?  Scenario: “You have? What!?
Being Christian What's it like these days to be a Christian? Really a Christian. For many, what the Bible teaches is generally okay, but, when it comes to certain specificities, what it says, they reason, needs to be interpreted in the light of today's enlightened realities. But -- will that work in - The End - when we stand before Him, physically? Stop and think about that Day.
Tomorrow
Tomorrow is the fool’s day. Tomorrow may never come. I may not get older. This may be it. 3.18.2017
Vortex of Good & Evil As mere humans, we are engulfed in the vortex of battle between good and evil. We must remember – it is God who created us, not we ourselves.  1.25.2017
What God has going on with us here on this planet.
God downloaded to earth ...inserted Himself into our history.  Jesus came to earth in order to satisfy the Courts of Heaven for our freedom. 3.23.2016

Cognitive Dissonance
...that extreme feeling of discomfort some folks get when their core belief is challenged or contradicted. What they think (“cognitive”) is rattled (dissonance) by what other evidences purport to be true – in direct conflict with what they hold to be “true”.  8.14.2018
Actually Try To Do The Deed 3.23.2016   “It’s not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better."

What God Did for Man
…The Simple Gospel of Jesus Christ. God walked the earth as a man. Have you ever wondered how it all got started – the universe, the earth, nature, animals, you and your “like”, mankind? 2.19.2018
The Bible is “able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation”
Do you honestly want to know how to get right with God?  Jesus promised He would save us for an eternity of only good, nothing bad. 9.31.2020

Elevating the Word over experience

What trumps what? Are you careful to closely examine what your pastor teaches, comparing what is said — with what you read in the Bible?  It should be a weekly habit. Many pastors and common folk equate experiences they have – with Scripture given to us by God. This leads to false assumptions about God […]

Pete Garcia’s Post – Eyes Wide Shut

Here we have republished only the Conclusion section (2nd half of article) of Pete Garcia’s Eyes Wide Shut, because it centers in on Pete’s message of the “eyes wide shut” condition of most churches today. Topic: the dismissal of Bible prophecy.

Change the way you live

Talking with some people who asked Him about the sinful ways of others… Jesus taught that it would be an eternally favorable act — to change your way of living. “…unless you repent [change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways and live changed lives], you will all likewise perish.” – Verse […]

Responding to insults and losses

Jesus is our ultimate example of how to respond when insulted, belittled, or violated somehow.  He said: don’t resist, or hit back, or retaliate.  I want to be more like that.
