Surely it has to be

Surely it has to be  (Behind the song)

Are things really that bad as portrayed in the song? Some are happy with the life they live, and really one should always try to have a positive attitude because negativity destroys the human organism.  But one can have a positive view and simultaneously see the reality without letting it bury you in pity and negativity! So what is the reality that the song addresses? The lack of tranquility, the vanity and the lack of sanity. In our world there is a lot that doesn’t make sense and we have become conditioned to accept the plate that has been fed to us without using common sense. One example is the case with virginity! This steps on the toes of those who love the new morality but it does not take into consideration the meaning behind the words of the song, “where s virginity, virginity was so pretty” Virginity is associated with innocence and that innocence is ripped ruthlessly away by child abusers, rapists and those hormone infested adolescents who have no concern regarding the consequences that a young girl has to face when her virginity and innocence is ripped away by this uncontrolled heavy breather. She feels torn and abused and often has to deal with an unwanted pregnancy. She now has lost the beauty of giving her virginity willingly to   someone she truly loves and who in his  love for her has made a commitment to her.  But we have been conditioned to believe that the new morality is better! The sexual act was invented by God so there is nothing wrong with it. But when its gratification harms another person emotionally , mentally, physically and spiritually and one enjoys a freebee without commitment or concern for the other person then it becomes nothing more than another extreme abuse. And the second time , the third time and the multitude of times afterward only leaves one remembering always the first time. Was that first time the beauty of mutual surrender and giving or just a first abuse. That is what is meant with the words , ‘Where’s virginity?’ There is nothing wrong with the transition to non-virginity it is just how it is done with the deprivation of something that could have excelled in pleasure and value. The new morality tarnishes and erases for  one a beautiful right that may never be achieved. But we have been conditioned!

The song also addresses our foreign friend. We are conditioned to look at him as not human , he is the enemy. When a soldier kills another on the battlefield he can’t think , I am killing a father, a husband . a son, or a brother ,the enemy can’t be humanized otherwise the trigger may never be pulled. But sadly soldiers have to deal with this afterwards with post traumatic stress. Does  war make sense for supposedly rational and sensitive human beings?. Most wars are over territories or ideologies that one group espouses and wants and who uses the second group, generally the common people to carry out its desires. Some wars have been defensive with the intent to stop the spread of the evil desires of aggressors who are using innocent victims who have been indoctrinated to believe they are involved in a just cause. There is so much conditioning involved here and the innocent suffer and pay the price. It doesn’t make sense seeing a world so scared and goes beyond what common sense would dictate. Things are bad when the innocent are ripped apart in these conflicts and they continue without let up. Is there something behind these irrational activities that seem to completely reach beyond our normal compassionate and loving qualities and smash mankind into a relentless spiral of shedding blood, maiming, killing and abusing. For 6000 years mans history has been filled with these things.    We seem to be conditioned to accept it as normal! We are conditioned to believe that the aggression comes from our supposed apelike ancestors. These wise words supply a different  answer as to why, “ the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one”-1 John 5:19. There is malevolent force behind providing influence in mans affairs. To prove it, this one made an offer of what he controlled, His interaction with God’s Son was the following; “ So he brought him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time.  Then the Devil said to him: “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. If you, therefore, do an act of worship before me, it will ALL be yours.” That is what keeps conditioning mankind to their detriment.

The song now addresses another matter that affects mankind in a negative way when the verse says, “See the men they are fumbling their steeples will be crumbling, their numbing lies have caused disbelieving”. What’s that all about? How are steeples and lies even connected? Lets use reasoning and common sense first to shine a light on lies!

LIE 1: If you act bad you will go to HELL and burn forever. Lets reason, remove the shadow, remove the veil of absolute fear and terror and THINK!!!!!  If you purposely set fire to your child’s arm to punish him, you would be arrested. It would be considered extreme abuse and your child would be removed from your custody. You would be forever marked as a cruel and detestable individual. What does common sense tell you about a GOD that would do such a thing ,but burn  the whole body eternally. Usually for punishment to be just, efforts are made by  judicial systems to make it equitable  to the crime. REASON!—For Example: IS 80 years of bad conduct equitqble  to 1 Million years of burning in a fire, actually MORE—FOREVER!!!! If you have used reasoning and common sense up to this point, who would want to be connected to such a cruel vengeful God. Interestingly such a lie has been a useful tool in creating fear and instigating the masses to support the church monetarily.

LIE 2: “God needed another angel so he took your child”  Your child was killed in a terrible auto accident as well as the other occupants who were maimed for life but God needed another angel in heaven. REASON on it: Doesn’t an all powerful God have the ability to bring such a child to heaven in a less CRUEL way. It is because such a thing is a LIE!  IT DOES NOT HAPPEN! God is not involved in such cruel methods!  There is hope for all those who have died including children, to have these horrible memories erased and the chance to live again forever in perfection. Isaiah 65:17,John 5:28,29

LIE 3:” God is on your side” and so Priests and ministers blessed and prayed for the troupes on each side for victory. If you have a reasoning mind, it sounds ridiculous.  Bob Dylan explored such lies with his song, “With God on our side”. Different religions were seen blessing the soldiers on each side. The Catholic church choose sides when it signed a concordat with Hitler and blessed his soldiers!  How many deaths has this lie produced over the multitude of centuries  of killing in the name of God. God has nothing to do with this!!! It is a LIE!

LIE 4,  “What ever happens, it is God s will”, he planned it that way and for some he has predestined everything ahead of time. If that is the case why try, why work to improve, why make an effort to better oneself if we are stuck in a pre-destined mold from which there is no exit. Does such a pre-determined world make any sense where God is responsible for all and everything. Thus he is responsible for all the wars, murders, cruelties, abuses, rapes , starvation, all those suffering today in Gaza, Ukraine and all other injustices it is Gods will according to this LIE. How does this affect the attitude of those hearing such foolish concepts as to their desire to make improvements and better themselves. If God is the originator of all the bad that we see then why do good? Who would want to be connected to such an irresponsible, radical and unfeeling God. We as humans have much more compassion than such a Cruel and Vicious Dictator. It is a LIE because “God IS LOVE”-1 John 4:8. 16. He has nothing to do with the evil affairs taking place on this earth but he is at this moment finalizing the steps to rid the planet of all these occurrences.

LIE 5. Religious people and ministers make up lies about opposing beliefs of others, saying for example they are a cult, that they don’ believe in Jesus as well as other inaccuracies they know are incorrect. But they generally have an agenda and its not truth but rather to malign others and exalt themselves.

These are just 5 Huge lies that the religions of this planet have promoted, there are dozens more and they all have caused ‘Disbelieving” because anyone with common sense and the power of reason can see right through them and they cause one not believe there is a God or not find the need to do what is right,

Will such ones be dealt with by the creator of all things for their brazen practices? The song says, “Their steeples will be crumbling” which focuses on these texts: 2 Peter 2:12—”They will suffer destruction brought on by their own destructive course,13 suffering harm as their reward for their own harmful course.” Also Revelation 18:2, 8—”And he cried out with a strong voice, saying: “She has fallen! Babylon the Great has fallen, and she has become a dwelling place of demons and a place where every unclean spirit”….” That is why in one day her plagues will come, death and mourning and famine, and she will be completely burned with fire, because Jehovah God, who judged her, is strong.”  Babylon the Great refers to all false religion which has produced many lies and misrepresented God promoting concepts like hellfire that originally came from ancient Babylon. In revelation she is viewed as a prostitute in God’s eyes. That is why honest hearted people are encouraged to get away from this entity.  Revelation 18:4 advises, “And I heard another voice out of heaven say: “Get out of her, my people, if you do not want to share with her in her sins, and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues.”  How extensive is the bad that she has done that requires such a break away? Revelation 18:24, “Yes, in her was found the blood of prophets and of holy ones and of all those who have been slaughtered on the earth.”  Look shortly for a movement by Governments, likely through the UN to make a move against all false religion! Revelation 18:21 confirms her demise , ” And a strong angel lifted up a stone like a great millstone and hurled it into the sea, saying: “Thus with a swift pitch will Babylon the great city be hurled down, and she will never be found again.” Revelation 17:16, makes it assured, “And the ten horns that you saw and the wild beast, these will hate the prostitute and will make her devastated and naked, and they will eat up her flesh and completely burn her with fire.”
