Beware of E.A.R. in your ears!

 

One of the hardest things in the world to combat is "Evidence Appearing Real" (E.A.R.). It "seems" real. It "seems" as though they have thoroughly researched the issue at hand.

There may be times in which the "appearance of truth" seemingly coincides with everything you have been raised to belief. I share the following story in the hopes of waking people up to this possibility.

There is none so blind!

It has been stated several times before that there is none so blind that will not see. There is none so deaf as those who refuse to listen.

I chose this particular picture to illustrate a point. There are none so blind and deaf as those that blindly cling to tradition for "traditions sake". 

I will use the picture of the man in this picture to illustrate a point. For the sake of argument let us say that tradition is both the blindfold and the barbed wire.

We have a problem that is two-fold. First: We have the blindfold. It has been on for so long that they have gotten used to being in the dark. Second: The barbed wire presents a danger in removing it. Any attempt to remove it will result in injury. This is a major problem for those who refuse to listen and for those who refuse to see.

The Famine of the Word of G-d is here, yet they are held captive to tradition. The River has gone dry and the thirsty go without water!

The richness of beauty that is G-d is incomparable! Yet, I find most of what passes to be "the church" to be extremely shallow!

In nature those plants and/or trees with shallow roots are often the ones that are uprooted when the storm hits. They cannot blame anyone for their shallowness. They are like the Five Foolish Virgins that didn't take care to make sure they had enough oil in their lamps. For when the Bridegroom came, they were caught unprepared!
