The Progressive Left Utopia Time Machine

Every time an event happens, whether it be a hurricane hitting Texas or Florida or a mass shooting in Las Vegas, progressive left pundits crawl out from under their rocks and begin telling the world what should have been done to prevent this.  Wisdom is complete with hindsight.  However, someone like Jimmy Kimmel gets up in front of his Trump-hating audience and cries.  He says that “we need to do something.”  He will not say what.  He simply calls it vaguely  “gun control.”  What he is saying is that we need one more law that would have prevented the Las Vegas shooter from getting guns.  Then we need to get into our progressive left utopia time machine and enact that law.  The trouble is this:  people are flexible, resourceful, novel and rarely rational.  So a 9,000 page law to stop this guy in Las Vegas would not stop him.  That one loop hole would be found.  In other words, sin and evil cannot be prevented by laws and regulations.  This is because laws and regulations are are written and developed by sinful, evil, depraved, debauched human beings.  God on high has already given his perfect and holy law and people trashed it and wrote their own, and their own will always fail.

We cannot control the past.  In fact we rarely study the past and never learn from the past.  Instead we blame and pander and get standing ovations because I have more visible emotions than you do.  No one could have prevented this shooting from taking place.  Not the hotel clerk, not the maids, not the cleaning crew, not, apparently, the man’s girlfriend.  There is also no such thing as a time machine, so saying that this or shat “should have” happened is stupid.

May people pull up Australia because Australia got rid of all their guns.  They did.  murders and suicides went down.  Home invasions went through the roof.  In fact it took six months for the parliament to write a law making home invasions illegal.  They had never had those before.  Now they have thousands a week and the police have given up on getting their in time.  Government actions always have unintended consequences.

Instead, and I sound like a broken rerecord to be sure, instead, of blaming and trying to earn points with a leftist audience, turn to God.  It would be an amazing show for Jimmy Kimmel to dim the lights and pray for 90 minutes.  Cry out to God.  Confess his sins and throw himself on the mercy of God.  This would be amazing and his show would be cancelled.  So his choice is between unimaginable wealth and righteousness.  It is clear what he chooses and what all politicians choose.  So why listen to them.  Why think they have good ideas.  They would sell their own children, as Kimmel has, for ratings demanding the medical establishment fix things like he wants.

Sin exists and will exist until Jesus comes again.  Evil is everywhere including the hearts of people and will continue until Jesus returns again.  There is no time machines but there is forgiveness and atonement.  Discover that and throw yourself into that, Kimmel, and maybe when your child grows up they will have a change at salvation.

Cornerstone Fellowship

Cornerstone Fellowship started preaching truth in 1946, right after WW II.  It has been a light in a changing community and a changing world for the past 70 years.  Currently I am the pastor of Cornerstone.  My name is Michael L. Wilson.  It is my goal to preach truth and to explain truth to all who attend.   We subscribe to the reformed view of Christianity which includes the  Five Solas , or the five foundational "only" beliefs.   If you are looking for a Christ Centered church, let me recommend  Cornerstone Fellowship

Thoughts on “agnostic”

Prior to being a pastor I was a believer in Jesus Christ.  I was raised in church and sought out a church every Sunday no matter where I was.  In other words, I consider myself a true believer in Jesus Christ and the Christian religion.  I am an exception in today’s society.  People who are willing to stand up and state that they are basing their lives on the teaching of Jesus Christ is rare. Many years ago, when I was a computer programmer, I worked with all sorts of people.  Buddhists and Hindus and even some Christians.  Most of the tech crowd were what I would call “casual atheists.”  This means that they never gave church or the Bible a second thought.  They go through life and never think about God.  If asked, many would say they believe in God, probably because they were taken to church as a child.  But any definition of this God could not be given by most of these people. One person I meant actually called himself an agnostic .  Agnostic is a Greek word which literally mean
