Thank God for his grace which has removed our scorn and contempt and allowed us, those who are his, to now live for the good of all he has made, and the glory of all that he is. Thank God for his grace which has brought peace between God and those who have put their faith in Christ. But we can, and will, get at anything that comes from God and anything that reflects God. We cannot get at God (except for that one time we could, and we crucified him). Humanity is in a state of open warfare with God. What is abortion but humanity elevating our middle finger toward God by gleefully destroying the creatures that God loves most? What is euthanasia but people flipping God the bird while ending a life created by God? What are gay marriage and no-fault divorce and the pornography plague but people looking God in the eye, elevating that middle finger, and daring him to do something about it? We know we cannot harm God, but we do know we can harm people. This explains so many of the headlines we read every day. The closest we can get to harming or destroying God is harming or destroying human beings. God tells us that there is just one creature who is made in his image and in his likeness-human beings. Most importantly, we hate God so we hate his image. We don’t actually have a beef with them, we have a beef with God and take it out on his creatures.
Utter scorn meaning how to#
We only treat animals badly because we don’t know how to treat God badly. We only kick the dog because at that moment we can’t kick God. We treat it badly as a display of our scorn for God. We display our contempt toward God by thinking too little of his creation, by polluting it recklessly, by stewarding it poorly. The reason we treat the earth badly is not that we hate the earth or are even apathetic about it. This hatred is the motivation behind the way we interact with God and with what God has made. We are born hating God, we die hating God, and we live our short lives hating God. At least we do unless God intervenes and lowers it by his grace. sneer related words: flout, leer, scorn part of speech: transitive verb definition: to utter with derision or contempt. We die with our middle finger extended toward God. We grow up with our middle finger extended toward God. I think we understand humanity best when we understand that human beings are born with our middle finger extended toward God. It is almost a dare: This is what I think of you what are you going to do about it? People flash it to display utter contempt toward another person. It is a symbol of utter scorn, a symbol associated with the most offensive four-letter word.
In many places in the world, elevating the middle finger is about as offensive as gestures get. Sponsor Show Your Support Become a Patron
