Judgment by Abandonment: A Homily for Troubled Times

Judgment by Abandonment and the Theology of Divine Withdrawal

A Christian homily on Judgment by Abandonment, 

false anointing, strong delusion, divine patience, moral collapse, 

and the danger of mistaking God’s silence for approval.

Wrestling Scripture in Unlikely Places

I have learned far more about the Bible from arguing with MAGAs than from my conversations with intelligent people—and this is not a compliment. Not in the slightest.

Strangely, those exchanges forced me back to Scripture. To search. To question. To wrestle. And through that wrestling, I became a more grounded Christian, thanks to one simple mental operation I kept repeating:

Substitute “MAGA” with “Antichristian” (or “evil-heartedness”),
then apply that lens to the most complex social issues of our troubled times.

That framework clarified many things. And for this, I must—somewhat begrudgingly—thank Jonothorn X, a proud MAGA from Cameroon.

Because he led me, though by a most circuitous route, to a powerful biblical concept: Judgment by Abandonment.

 

The Logic of Abandonment

This is the heart of Judgment by Abandonment. God allows people to pursue the evil they crave—until that evil consumes them.

Only a strong delusion could cause a people who have been abandoned by God to believe that their own moral collapse is divine cleansing.

Scripture does not equivocate:

“Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

Why would God do this?

The verse immediately preceding it answers the question:

“…because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.”

Apostasy in the Name of God

Let us be absolutely clear.

No one can claim to love the truth
while repeatedly turning it on its head
in defence of evil,
and doing so in the name of God,
and doing so for an entire decade.

That is not faith.
That is apostasy masquerading as loyalty.

The Illusion of Theological Control

There exists a class of theologians who cannot utter two sentences without invoking Thomas Aquinas, as though competing for a rare vacancy in the office of Memo Writer for God.

Yet Scripture itself makes plain that no one can fully understand the Holy Spirit, nor know where He comes from or where He is going.

And still they behave as though Scripture were merely advisory—binding on everyone else, but optional for them.

Read it yourself:

“The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

The work of the Holy Spirit is invisible, like the wind.
Unpredictable, like the wind.
Yet unmistakable by its effects, like the wind.

In other words, it is sovereign. 

“I AM THAT I AM”

Remember Moses on Mount Sinai.

“What is your name, Lord?”

And the answer?

“I AM THAT I AM.”

You would be hard-pressed to find a more concise declaration of absolute divine sovereignty anywhere in Scripture.

If you can fully grasp its origin or control its direction, it is not the Holy Spirit.

Where was I?

Ah yes.

Righteous Anger and Moral Clarity

Those same theologians who endlessly quote Aquinas might do well to reckon with his words:

He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral.

Why?

Because anger looks to the good of justice.

And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust.

Prosperity as Proof? A Fatal Error

The Psalms speak with brutal clarity:

“A senseless man does not know, and a fool does not understand, that though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed.”

This is precisely where the Prosperity Gospel reveals itself as a deadly lie.

Scripture teaches: though the wicked may prosper, their end is destruction.

The Prosperity Gospel teaches: prosperity is proof of righteousness.

The result is the catastrophic blurring of the line between good and evil. Which is why we are where we are today.

 

God Gave Them Over

Romans gives us another textbook case of Judgment by Abandonment:

“Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts…”
“God gave them over to shameful lusts…”
“God gave them over to a depraved mind…”

There comes a point when God no longer contends.

He simply steps back—and lets the wicked run their course, straight to ruin.

Jesus put it plainly:

“Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”

Final Word

I rest my case.

That is my homily for today.

May we never confuse God’s patience with His approval,
or His silence with His blessing.

Let the reader understand.

The absence of True Christianity Plagues the world…

https://www.facebook.com/share/18YcoEwr3s/?mibextid=wwXIfr

The Chinese press isn’t playing: Seventeen years ago, my American professor said something I’ve never forgotten: “If only 10% of Chinese people have genius IQs, that’s already half the population of the United States…. Think about that”

Over these 17 years, America has sidetracked itself… it started with the tea party nonsense, silliness masquerading as patriotism…

A black man was elected president?

Wow! Why destroy yourselves for that?

The very reason Europeans crossed oceans to found a country based on law — the separation of church and state — is now being destroyed.

By what?

By the church.

But hear me:

These United States will survive.

They’ll emerge stronger.

And when they do, religion will be put back where it belongs — in the hearts and minds of men, women, and children — and never again allowed to terrorize the population.

Now, you might ask:

What’s my business with that?

Everything.

What happens in America fascinates Africa.

When America tames the excesses of the church, we’ll tame them too.

The lack of spiritual, economic, and political progress in Nigeria — and I can only speak for my country — can be traced to one thing:

The proliferation of churches.

And the deep-rooted heresy within them.

It took just twelve disciples to set the world ablaze for Christ. Surely, twelve denominations aflame with Christ could kindle a new dawn for Nigeria.

But what are they teaching?

They teach that Adam did not eat an apple — he ate his tithes.

They say Job was justly punished because he did not tithe:

“Nowhere in the Bible is it written that Job paid tithes.”

Perhaps we should draw up a list of a hundred early Christian disciples —

and then ask these preachers to show us a hundred verses where their tithing was recorded…

The lack of spiritual, economic, and political progress in Nigeria — can be traced to one thing - the deep-rooted heresies practiced by the larger Christian community….

Jesus is clear about this:

“Ye are the salt of the earth” - Matthew 5:13

“Ye are the light of the world” - Matthew 5:14

The stabilizing and influence of TRUE Christianity, the turmoil which follows its absence, that is what we are witnessing… all ACROSS the globe

Got to run…

(My manuscripts are glaring at me)

#MoluePODCAST: Trump’s Tariff Retreat

Man 2: Did you news? Fears of a bond market catastrophe convinced the U.S. president to hit the pause button.

Man 1: So the man de fear? Didn’t they do a basic assessment of the risks to their own economy? Now he hits the pause button? What kind of leadership is this?

Man 2: You can’t redesign a bicycle without assessing the risks ofnthe new design. But apparently, you can manage a $30 trillion economy without the faintest clue!

Man 1: The man is completely out of his depth!

Man 2: It’s like the snake in that epic fight with a razor blade—just realizing the blood on the ground is its own.

Man 1: Snake? Epic fight? Razor blade?

Man 2: Yeah. Picture this: A snake slithers across a rubbish dump and brushes against a discarded razor blade. Feeling a sharp pain, it turns, sees the blade, and strikes in anger—only to get cut again. Furious, the snake hisses:

“You played it wrong! You panicked. You should’ve let me bite you and moved on. You did tit, I did tat. Now you re-tit, I have to re-tat!”

And so the fight begins. The snake wraps itself around the blade like a constrictor, squeezing tighter and tighter—until the blade snaps in two… there’s a pool of blood its blood…..

Man 1: I thought we were talking about tariffs?

Man 2 (serious, measured):

We are.

No one wins.

No nation wins a tariff war against the world.

Against one or two countries? Sure. Maybe even three. You replace the supply chain from one country with another….

But against everyone?

You’ll be like that angry snake…

And the only bleeding you’ll see—

Will be the bleeding of your own economy.

Man 1 (curious, leaning in):

So… how does this end?

Man 2 (reflective, a little amused):

The world will humor him.

You remember when you were a kid?

You’d be bawling your eyes out, and your mom would say,

“Don’t cry, I’ll beat Daddy for you.”

She wasn’t actually going to beat him.

She just wanted you to calm down.

Same thing here—

They’ll throw him a bone.

Let him have his victory lap.

Man 1 (chuckling, resigned):

I rest my case!!

Man 2: Good man!

On Luciferism (2)

  Dear Timotheus,

A few hours ago, I learned something profoundly unsettling—one of the most foundational insights I've gained throughout my years of writing and learning, which are deeply intertwined.

What did I learn? I came to know in a profound manner, that the devil is indeed the god of this world.

“Oh, did you not know that?” someone might ask...
Of course, I’ve known it all my life — but there’s a difference between knowing (with a silent ‘g’) and knowing (with a hard ‘g’).
I've just had a realization that was truly eye-opening!

I still don’t even have the courage to explore this further; I get goosebumps just thinking about what else I might discover - I am almost scared of knowing...

One of the things I hard 'g' knowed was this: All the new fangled new age religions introduced to the West over the last half of the 20th century, along with various secret cults some ancient, (yes, yours included), they manifest several or all aspects of Luciferianism.

This is especially evident in those that emphasize "knowledge" while downplaying "faith." They simply highlight Lucifer's more positive traits, yet at their core lies Satanism.

I am genuinely astounded!

Ps:
I have frequently used the term "Pure Satanism" to describe a recurring pattern of behavior I've observed among certain global politicians and within specific sects of Christianity. What I initially perceived as a visceral reaction to veiled anti-Christian sentiments has now revealed itself to be rooted in much deeper truths that I am beginning to grasp.

Still n the Debate on the “Quality” of Christians

You’ve said a lot. That last paragraph, where you speak about the “quality” of Christians, reveals more about you than about so-called "low-quality" Christians elsewhere. It’s an unfortunate mindset. If there are so many “high-quality” Christians, what have they achieved for the body of Christ? There must be millions of them—yet Christ needed only twelve.  

That said, are you suggesting that pedophile priests were merely waiting for Vatican II before indulging their proclivities? That such crimes didn’t exist before Vatican II? Because that’s what your argument implies.  

Consider what I’ve written on its merits. Don’t strive to be a “high-quality” Christian. History is littered with the wreckage of self-approved “high-quality” religionists in every faith. Instead, be humble. 

Finally, always keep in mind the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard—we know its key lessons. Chief among them: Jehovah’s grace is not earned. God will bless whom He will bless. He is the I AM THAT I AM, sovereign and beyond our classifications. The first (so-called high-quality Christians) will be last, and the last (the so-called low-quality Christians) will be first—regardless of which form of the Mass they prefer.  

Still with me?  

Another key lesson from the parable: it reassures newcomers to the faith—especially those who come late in life—that they are fully welcome.  

#dk

Postscript: 

I could go on to discuss the different times of day when each set of workers was hired and invite a debate on their quality—were the first workers of higher or lower quality than the last? Why was it necessary to hire more? Were workers simply unavailable at first? Were they engaged elsewhere? Or was the initial estimate of the work required too low? Perhaps the estimate was accurate, but the quality of the workers was such that, as the deadline approached, more were needed. Could this be why they were all paid the same wage in the end?  

All that can be said is that the owner of the vineyard was faithful to deliver on time….. 

Shall we digress for a moment and consider what the true deliverable was? Was it merely the harvesting of grapes? Didn’t the last batch of workers—and the ones before them—linger, hoping against all odds to be called into the vineyard? Why? It was a risk. They faced the very real possibility of going home empty-handed. So what was it about *this* vineyard that made them wait?  

Think on these things—I am doing the same.  

Part of the deliverable could well have been simply getting the men to cross the threshold of the vineyard—just to cross it—and be rewarded for their faith - waiting outside, hoping to be called in, may have been the true test and whatever work they appeared to do afterward was good, but not relevant to the wages they received.  

End of digression.

Bottom line, at the end of the workday, the OWNER of the vineyard would have looked at all that was accomplished and seen that it was good.

(Irrespective of the quality or the lack thereof of workers or the form of the mass used in their respective dioceses) 

I rest my case.  

(Hope this helps.)

Revelations 15: The second beast was PERMITTED to give life to the first beast

"In Satan's lair today, there are more than a few laughs," he said, brooding. "But Revelation 1:17 should provide comfort and strengthen the resolve of all believers—to persevere, to not grow weary in doing good, nor falter in their prayers for a world where good order is restored."  

"Amen," someone murmured weakly. It was Gladstone. We were exhausted. All our efforts seemed to fall on the ears of many who seemed to delight in unrighteousness. The rise of heresy felt like a direct challenge to our faith in the Lord's omnipotence, and the overthrow of good order only deepened this sense. This was uncharted territory, and we were drained. 

"A few thoughts came to mind as I reflected on the verses below" he continued, and he read out loud from chapter 13 of the book of Revelation. He read from verse 15:

"The second beast was granted authority to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship it to be killed"

He paused then said, "I've never really paid attention to the fact that the second beast was PERMITTED to give life to the first beast. Let me emphasize that again: the 2nd BEAST was permitted to give life to the 1st BEAST".

16 The second beast required all people—both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead.

17 This mark would prevent anyone from buying or selling unless they had it—the name of the beast or the number of its name…"

Raising his head from the Bible, he said, "Never in history has it been easier to stop someone from buying or selling. Today, if just two or three companies or platforms blacklist you—often at the behest of a single individual, for any reason—you are utterly cut off. Even entire nations have been blacklisted."  

Closing the Bible with a resounding thud, he continued, "These are indeed dark times. Yet, as I said, Revelation 1:17 should provide comfort and strengthen the resolve of all believers—to persevere, no matter the cost. This may very well be the long-awaited battle. Prepare to fight it. What does not defeat you makes you stronger."

I rest
