Old Chevette, year 1970, stickers on the windows denounce a sick mind with bad phrases like: "I am married", "I love my wife", "Gift from God", "It is paid off", but the one that impresses me the most is the third phrase.
It seems common, but evangelicals love this intimacy with God. How can God, who created the whole universe, give an old Chevette, falling to pieces, to one of his children?
God has never spoken to ordinary people. It is in the famous eloquent omissions of the bible, especially the honorable omissions of the old testament, in the Torah and the Tanak.
Many biblical omissions and silences need to be interpreted carefully and with the correct exegesis, nor does it help to search the so-called authentic scrolls and papyri and carefully translate from the very ancient Greek, Aramaic and archaeological Hebrew with the best hermeneutics and translators, because the truth leaps above any attempt to violate logic and the laws of the universe. Nothing can violate the laws of the universe because they are the testimony of God.
The first law of all that cannot be violated because no one is allowed to do so is the law of nature.
And what is the law of nature?
The only law of nature is the one that no one and nothing can violate because it was established by God to organize the universe.
If you throw yourself off a 500-meter high cliff, unless you are parachuted or strapped into a body jump, your death is certain. You can pray a lot, pray and ask God to protect you, you know that you are violating the law of nature instituted by God, and that Isaac Newton called the force of gravity and Einstein called the gravitational field.
God never needed to speak to humans again, after the last words spoken still in the old testament to his last prophet Jeremiah, even when speaking to any human being God had a protocol, like calling for a revelation to his kings and prophets, only these could be heard by God, never in the Bible of the old testament, nobody sent a message to God asking for an audience, every meeting was prepared with purification and God spoke and never showed his face, there were never personal and private requests, God never dealt with personal matters with any prophet or king, God always dealt with matters of the whole people and of social interest.
So God never had to deal with private and personal requests, this is not in the old testament, so where does this practice of personal and private requests going directly to God come from?
This attempt to privatize God and make him a very nice being in no way coincides with the clues we have about God's personality, from the genocide of the Flood, the nuclear explosions of Sodom and Gomorrah, the 40-year punishment imposed on the Hebrews' pilgrimage through the Sinai desert, so where is the evidence of the nice-guy God?
This goody-goody God is an evangelical customization of the bible built in the new testament, probably by the Constantinian and Diocletian adulterations in Christianity instituted by the apostles Peter, Luke, and the disciples Paul and Apollos, among others usurpers of Judaism transformed into the half-Greek and half-Roman sub-religion of the Christianity Circus.
Just obey and respect the law of nature instituted by God and everything will be in its place, instead of asking for an old Chevette, enforce the regulations left by God.
