#1820: Flip Flops

Topic: Flip-Flops

KJV Proverbs 12:10: 10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
                        11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.
                        12 The wicked desireth the net of evil  men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth  fruit.
          Never trust a man until you have seen him weak, beaten down with disease-distress-dependency. When he is weak and holds on to his trusting God, then you know he is honest. A man who persists never questions the word of God. He does the best he can with what he has.
          Once, on a nearby farm, some boys were showing me their "rabbit-box" traps. In one of the traps, there was a opossum. When the opossum came out of the trap their hunting dogs went wild, jumping at the freighted animal, but this wild animal had the survival instinct all the opossum posses with which to fight is his mouthful of sharpened teeth, a dangerous "whipping" tail. The tail was going wild and dangerous as the opossum never backed off from the dogs, ready to get a hold of one with its sharp teeth. Every animal, from one cell to many cells, has this survival instinct. The animal may be microscopic, a germ or virus. It may be a small insect. The chain of life is made up of cells with survival instinct. Man is the only animal who knows he is going to die. Who, is given the reasoning ability to protect himself and to make decisions about his life preservation. For all other animal life, just survive by basic instinct.
          There are many interesting aspects in studying the health sciences...health care professions. Those studying, publishing, publicizing health care are always giving learned advice. "Exercise in order to live", "Do not use tobacco products",  "Limit your use of fats", "Do not buy any product that has words you cannot pronounce". Until 1900,  most Americans and indeed, most people in the world, lived in rural areas. Foods came directly from nature. The "good Earth" was full of chemical elements, nutrition needed for life. With the depletion of the soil, with the invention of chemical and synthetic products, toxins (poisons) were introduced into the life cycle. Insecticides poisoned everything about our food...from the ground, to the cooking pot, to the serving plate. We know that plastic plates and cups are made of dangerous chemicals...that bleaches chemicals into the foods and yet we eat it. Then, we cannot understand why we have so many strange illnesses. We know that chloride and bromide are poisons yet, we allow our local politicians to put such poisons in our municipal water systems. We know that radium is a poison, and yet, we cling to radium therapy for cancer treatment. We know that chemicals start the cancer cellular divide, but we use chemotherapy for treatment of cancer. Flip-flops have become the "standard of living". 
          We flip-flop in our attitudes towards our lives at the church house, the courthouse, the schoolhouse, even at your house. Young parents do everything possible to show their love and concern for their child. They read the self-help books, work night and day to provide for their child. Parents teach their children to speak correctly, to show good manners, want their child to live a productive life, yet after the sanctity of a healthy home, they will send this precious child to a "hell hole" called a public school, where they are exposed to every pagan-heathen practice known to man. In the sensitive years when a child is adjusting to their own sexuality, because of the "gay agenda",  because of the Democrat party objectives; their child is totally confused by the "political correctness" and the sexual confusion of adults. What a flip-flop. Laws, traditions, common sense, all tossed aside in order to accommodate a flip-flopping-Diocletian, indifferent heathenistic-attitude towards the future. This writer honestly believes that a  culture has been spawned and conjured, which wants to destroy civilization as we know it. The dogs in the alley-the wildlife in the jungle-possess as many morals, have as much integrity, as many of our fellow "homosapiens" around us.
          Where are our fellow human beings with the academic knowledge, the scientific backgrounds, the knowledge to give us the absolutes of right from wrong? Just a few years ago, lobotomy's (a surgical operation involving incision into the prefrontal lobe of the brain, formerly used to treat mental illness) and electric shock treatments were used for mental disorders; flip-flop, were we crazy? A few years ago, we were told about the horrors of eating chocolate and coffee; flip-flop, now chocolate and coffee are "good for you". A few years ago, "stay away from fats"; flip-flop, unsaturated fats are good for you. A few years ago, running was good for you; flip-flop, running is dangerous for your knees and joints.  A few years ago, Marijuana, a "gateway drug" was a curse to humanity; flip-flop, Marijuana is being sold by states as a medicinal drug. We know that every alcoholic started with the first drink. We know what alcohol does to people; destruction of the human body, destruction of the family, #1 cause of divorce; flip-flop, some states are in the business of selling alcohol to their citizens. If a disease, such as alcoholism--diabetes--heart attacks--stroke--cancer--does not affect me, it is permissible to flip-flop and use the tax proceeds from those who are effected to make my life easier. The tax on cigarettes from those captivated by nicotine, can only make life easier for the flip-floppers who once grew the weed, helped many families, universities, even hospitals become rich and famous from the deceit and defeat of their fellow man. Duke, Wake Forest, etc. There is no flip-flop like governmental flip-flops in finance, immigration, controls on everything. In the land of the free, home of the brave, your every action is controlled by a permit or a license.
          There is no flip-flop like that of a spiritual one. We play games with everyone; the tax person, police officer, your doctor and lawyer. At the courthouse, we swear on the Bible and then a lie. The school house, such a need for education, has become a place of indoctrination. The greatest tragedy, flip-flop involving the future of mankind, pretending and performing at the church house.
