If “The Bible is a bunch of fairy tales”, as you boldly and sarcastically claimed,
Then . . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then you are a fairy tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then your whole life is a fairy tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then your abilities are also a fairy tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then your mind is also a fairy tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then your reasoning is a fairy tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then your calling the Bible a fairy tale is in itself a fairy tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then I should treat you as a fairy tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then you should think of yourself as a fairy tale.

If the Bible is a joke, then you’re a joke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then all your sex is a joke, a fairy tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then everything in the world, everything you see and use around you, is a fairy tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then all your work is just a fairy tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then there is no order in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then you can’t grow anything with order, build anything with order, because there is no order<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But you (everybody) must have something to live for, something to work for, something to give meaning to life, something to give your life meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because the order of nature gives you opportunities for success, you do well in business for a time, over and over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But then, because you do not acknowledge God, Who gave you tremendous abilities and unlimited resources in the natural world to produce phenomenal stuff—then you are compelled to throw away your success, repeatedly—it’s all a joke, a fairy tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then all your sex is a joke, a fairy tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n – – –<\/p>\n\n\n\n What are fairy tales ? When your very life is a fairy tale, then you must add more of your fairy tales of your sexual exploits to get meaning in your life, even if only momentarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, THAT’S IT ! question, Jason: Call it what you will, truth is— – – –<\/p>\n\n\n\n At your funeral, it’s too late for you to decide. – – –<\/p>\n\n\n\n A very successful young businessman\/politician realized there was something missing in his life. Ironically, you have done the first part of that, getting rid of success (losing your business)—to follow your god, sex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The end of that real story quoted above, also matches your story—the successful businessman went away sad, because he had too much ‘stuff’ at stake, to give it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Will you go away sad to hell because you won’t give up worshipping sex, to follow Jesus ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n So you say you tried it, and it didn’t work ? – – –<\/p>\n\n\n\n I don’t want you to go to hell. “It is appointed to man once to die, and after that the judgment.” All fairy tales aside, If “The Bible is a bunch of fairy tales”, as you boldly and sarcastically claimed,Then . . .

Fairy tales are imaginary stories outside the real world, where imaginary people with imaginary experiences “live happily ever after”.
People (especially children) read fairy tales to live in a dream world for awhile, until we all face the real world.
Sex as you live it, is living in a dream world for awhile, and then again for awhile, again and again, until you face the real world one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s all you’ve got.
That’s all you get.
“I will say to myself, ‘Eat, Drink, and Be Merry [and have all the sex I possibly can]’, for tomorrow I die.”—–from His Book of ‘fairy tales?’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
T H E N W H A T ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You know there’s more after this life of success, failure, sex, more sex, . . . [repeat]
And what’s after this life is a whole lot more than this life, and a WHOLE LOT LONGER.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We can only say, then,
“Here ended Jason Orlando’s fairy tale life of occasional bouts with tremendous success, while he religiously followed his endless search for sex and more sex—more that never gave his life meaning.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So he asked a risky question,
“What else do I have to do?”
Answer,
“Get rid of everything (give it away), and follow Me.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No you didn’t—and you know it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s been quite awhile since I tried to reach out to you for Jesus.
He has the “words of eternal life” as well as words of judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If . . .
If . . .
If you ever choose to follow Jesus FOR REAL, you will need someone to meet with you twice a week,
for honesty,
for accountability,
for praying,
for reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All your sarcastic jokes aside,
All . . . aside,
I am willing to be that person.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
