Sin is Stupidity, and Stupidity Sin
Sin is absolute stupidity. And stupidity is absolutely sin.
There's all kinds of ways to work that through: but here's a biggie.
Doing self-destructive things is laughable...and fatally stupid. We're all familiar with the Darwin Awards.
Sin is self-destructive. Going against God's commands is ASSURED self-destruction. That's real stupid.
But wisdom keeps us from being stupid. And God offers WISDOM to anyone who asks Him in faith (James 1:5-6).
Maybe some haven't heard His promise, and don't know to ask.
But the profoundly stupid are those who know God's promise, and choose instead to "turn to his own way" (Isaiah 53:6)
God says that choice is sin. God says that choice assures self-destruction. That choice is stupid.
The good news is that although we've all been stupid ("all have sinned..."), we don't have to stay stupid. God offers us the chance to change our minds: the Bible's word for that is "repent."
That starts by admitting you were stupid, and asking God for His wisdom to keep you from continuing in stupidity.
Father, open the eyes of CHRISTIANS in this country to repent this destructive political foolishness. Father, please forgive us for so sorely OFFENDING you all these years. God, Father, forgive us !!
