Seriously: Y’all have got to read this to get a good feel of its self-assured wackiness.
It seems that a certain Pastor Chris Gore, of the Sooner State, is distressed by uninformed speculations about the afterlife.
The reality is that when dealing with death and the life to come is there are so many unbiblical views of what the next life will look like, and many of those are not just wrong, they are unhelpful.
Comes now Holy Man Gore, relying upon The Giant Book of Ancient Bullshit Fables, to set the record straight.
We don’t need to make things up about the life-to-come, in fact, we’ll see that what we make up is actually less than what the Bible promises us.
This is good. Pastor Gore isn’t going to just make-up stuff.
“Heaven gained a new angel today.”
As a pastor, this is probably the distortion of eternity that I hear the most, and every time I hear it I want to shout, “No! No! No!” Not because I don’t like angels or I’m some sort of theological grump. It irks me not just because it’s not true, but because it actually is less than what the Bible tells us.
Pastor Gore explains:
First, angels and people are different.
Who knew? It’s easy to understand the confusion, though.
True, we may often see angels taking a human appearance in Scripture, but the Bible is clear that though angels may look like people sometimes, people and angels are very different.
And on, and on, and … on. And this, you will be comforted to learn, is only the first installment.
Keep this in mind: There is no indication anywhere in the text that Pastor Gore is having himself a big time pulling the leg of the gullible; he seems to actually believe he is telling his readers things that they really need to know.
