My Vegan T. Rex

 

My Vegan T. Rex

Genesis 1:30 “And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.”

     That’s weird.  If you believe the Bible to be true, then T. Rex ate his veggies.  In other words, he started out eating only plants.  In fact, every animal was created vegan.  Guess that made the original creation more harmonious if they didn’t kill each other.  

     So why is T. Rex in the ring boxing furiously with gloves on?  Because someone is pounding his tail!  He beats and beats an invisible opponent called Man’s imagination.  He’s been billed The Terrible Lizard and we want to see a fight.  I mean, that’s what the poster said.  His blood ripping, eye gleaming, and thrashing about we lust to behold.

     Surely his horrendous, behemoth body with razor teeth declares the obscenity of God’s creation.  Violence around every corner as no dinosaur was safe from this predator. How could God make such a beast?  Well, He didn’t.

     Perversion is what We are known for.  God makes perfect.  We throw wrenches at it hoping to jam the right gear.   If we could construe in our minds that creation wasn’t sound at first, then we could doubt the character of our God.  We defame His revelation when we accredit original violence to Him.  As if He called the cage fight and sat back to spectate.  That’s the God of Jesus?

     No wonder Jesus came as the Way.  What did the little Hebrew boys think of terrible lizards in their days?  How twisted was their past understanding?  If time for Jesus was then, to show the true Father, how much more do we need Him today when the earth is 4.3 billion years old?  Someone threw a whole lotta wrenches with that one.  “Let us suppress the truth with our dark minds to elevate humanism as the one to solve all mysteries.”  It is only mysterious if you take God out of the reason.  If God is not behind creation, will Man’s contradictions ever be?

     Mr. T. Rex is my friend.  He was not fit for the Garden.  Being a beast of the earth, his wanderings led him elsewhere.  Man’s sins gave him some inordinate cravings.  I’ve heard his teeth’s roots were not deep enough to support a flesh ripper.  According to the Bible, a couple made the ark trip.  One theory speculates they died in an atmospheric shift.  In any case, he was a beautiful creature made by God for specific purposes.  I don’t think scaring little kids in the 21st century was one of them.

The Church Picture

  The Church Picture 2 Samiuel 6: 20  “ Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself! 21  And David said unto Michal, It was before the  Lord , which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the  Lord , over Israel: therefore will I play before the  Lord . 22  And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour. ” Revelation 4: 10  “ The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11  Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive ...

Infectious Disease

  Infectious Disease      I watch network T.V., the free kind over the airwaves.   It is inundated with self-help medicine commercials.   I think of Sky-ri-zee .   Perhaps this is the concoction for clearer skin.   What wouldn’t an Aaronic priest have given for this special med?   “Got a blemish?   Come closer, son.   Looks like the onset of leprosy.   Go away.   Two pills in the mouth and come back in seven.”   Much of Leviticus would have to be rewritten.   The red heifer sacrifice could be summed up with a cream.   “Touched a dead body?   Rub this on the contact area.   Go away.   Come back tomorrow.”      But what if pills don’t work?   Adam would have O.D.’d on the blue and reds seeking to forget the fall. Thankfully the neighborhood drug store was not on his corner.   He heard vaguely of a savior to come.   God said it was in his genes.   ...

God's Successive Revelations

  God’s Successive Revelations Search Me diligently, and I will reveal Myself to you.      Yah, that sound like something God would say.   I understand He revealed the Trinity to us.   I plead ignorance in Church history.   Some theologians, perhaps 400 A.D. came upon this gem that we hold true today.   The idea of the rapture is new on the Church radar.   Late 1800’s?      What if God revealed His truth to His people in time?   Surely, Solomon was the wisest man in his day, but did he know about Pentecost?   Daniel, the far seer, was only shown glimpses.   What did he know of Peter and miracles in the temple?   A certain king discovered God’s truth again and that made for a reformation, but what did he know of the beast standing in the sea?   God gives insight in His time.      I have trained seven children.   As young  children, I did not flood them with...
