Paul's reply:
No, Sean, apparently you do not. Does it matter, though?
Do you somehow feel there would be more relevance to our communication
had we met before? Isn’t the subject more important than a formal
introduction to, or previous knowledge of, the author?
Does your world only extend to those you know and accept
as peers, or are you perhaps dependent on a wider circle of people,
even for
your necessities?
Are you trying to hide under a rock, denying you are involved in
party politics?

Sean's reply:
Funny,
I didn’t realize that God took sides in Canadian politics. I
was once involved in party politics, but haven’t been the Wanuskewin
NDP president since April.
Have a good day.

Paul's reply:
Sean, there is a valid explanation for your reaction, which you would
not have considered. The Scriptures testify of the state you are
in as follows:
“But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit
of God, for they are foolishness to him; neither can he know them,
because
they are spiritually discerned” (1 Corinthians 2:14 MKJV).
They also make known that it is possible to
know that which the natural man does not:
“But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is
judged by no one. For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may
instruct
Him? But we have the mind of Christ” (1 Corinthians 2:15-16
MKJV).
The natural man (one without the Spirit of God) is entirely
oblivious
to all of God’s doings, so why wouldn’t he find
it “funny” when
any are brought to his attention? Especially when he interprets
what he hears through his corrupt senses, twisting the truth
into perversities
and absurdities that reflect, not God’s mind, but his
own. Trusting in his knowledge and powers of interpretation
outside of the light
of God is the arrogance and sin nature of the natural man at
work, resulting in confusion, loss, and evil.
Your conclusion about what we are saying is wrong. We are not saying
God is partisan in politics; as the Scriptures testify, He is “no
respecter of persons.” He weighs the hearts and determines,
past the appearance of things, whether or not something is
good or evil. We, by Him, are
not speaking of coalitions or parties or systems of government
per se, but about what is happening with these particular
persons and attempted
coalition at this time. It is God’s judgment and not
ours.
For more light on the matter, you could go to our Notice
Board, where several
letters with
content dealing
with your objection will be posted.
