God is immoral. That is what a lot of people think but they don\u2019t have the guts to admit it. It\u2019s true. He is. <\/p>\n
Morality, the notion that there is right and wrong in the social structure of humanity, is the fundamental building block of all human interaction. Laws, and the governing apparatus required to enforce those laws, stand as a testimony to the morality of our world. God doesn\u2019t care.<\/p>\n
We humans have a long history of seeking equality among people groups through layers of laws. Granted, it hasn\u2019t been a very successful journey, but, day by day we attempt to move forward so that there is a better lifestyle for people today then yesterday. Whether it be on the front lines of race, gender, or sexual equality, we humans have been seriously striving to make everyone\u2019s life equivalent to each other. Yet, God doesn\u2019t care.<\/p>\n
The Judeo-Christian principle of governance in this nation has been our guiding value to life and liberty. It has enabled us to keep offenders of our justice system separated from the society of law-abiding citizens. It has produced social labels that provide immediate identification to individuals who knowingly disregard the value of our legal system. From thief to pedophile, rapist to murderer, drug pusher to tax cheater, we have set a very high standard using these labels of what it takes to live and properly interact within our social construct. And yet, God still doesn\u2019t care.<\/p>\n
God is immoral simply because He doesn\u2019t abide by our laws. He is amoral, outside of our laws. His grace is outside of our laws too. At no time did He ever consider our laws when He accomplished his act of saving all of humanity by His grace. He never asked for your opinion or support. He never once thought about how it would be greater for someone versus another. He applied it equally to all humanity throughout all the ages regardless of the labels we assigned to people. It is truly the only governing decree that makes everyone equal. Male, female, young, old, white, black, red, yellow, brown, heterosexual, LGBQT, murder, rapist, pedophile, drug dealer, banker, lawyer, waitress, janitor, president, congressman, senator, judge, military, civilian, rich or poor we\u2019re all equal.<\/p>\n
Many of you will have a difficult time believing that you\u2019re equal to someone who has done something horrible, like a pedophile or murderer. Welcome to the immorality of grace. Your moral indignation to this statement is a witness to the importance you and the faith you place in the law to determine your worth rather than a single act of God to determine your worth. Hard to admit, I know, but admit it we all must. Failure to do so will mean a lifetime trying to live up to a standard that can, will, and has been altered by mankind only to find at the end how you\u2019re no better off than you were before.<\/p>\n
This is the very matter that tries the heart of the religious elite. \u201cGreasy grace\u201d has become their siren song for this truth. People can just do anything and get away with it and grace will cover it all. Yes, Virginia, that is true\u2026with God, not with man. Cause and effect are not suspended in grace. Your still as stupid with grace as you are without it. The issue has never been what can you get away with but what has God done to bring us all back. It\u2019s not greasy, it\u2019s not easy, and it clearly is not cheap. It is immoral to the notions that we hold to what is right and wrong. But it applies to all, equally. Yes, Virginia, even you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
