2 Thesselonians:
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Some people say ignorance is bliss. I beg to differ; on some accounts, when I know better, I do better. Take for instance a chasened child and one that has no knowledge of discipline. I am not speaking of spankings or 'butt whoopings' but the simplicity of discipline itself. The child that is taught right from wrong and then does wrong gets a 'time out' or no fun activities. The child that knows right from wrong and chooses to do write knows not the consequences of doing wrong. Many may say, 'well the child that knows the difference and does right will go far.' That is far from the truth. The child that makes the wrong choice learns both sides of the discipline. The child will be able to truly notice the path of wrongdoing before the child that is considered 'right' all the time. Keeping that in context. The world had a wide spread prank pulled on them, even though we as believers in Christ (a large percentage of the world) should have known better. A false prophet proclaimed he knew the exact date and time of the rapture, for a second time. As insane it was for people to believe him on a second account with evidence of his false first account, the ignorant followed the ignorant again. It was a bit comedic to see the children that always chose right, choose wrong for another time. My Christian walk began at a very young age and I learned to study, meditate and pray on The Word of God to build a relationship with Him. In building this relationship, I have increased my ability to choose right because it was contrary to my experienced wrong choices. Am I perfect? No. Do I choose right all the time now? No. All I am saying is recognize an ignorant fool through the discernment of the spirit and you can choose right more often. KKDT!
