The Misdirection of Independence

A suggestion that I appear to have encountered appears to propose that humanity attempt to figure out how to prosper without relying upon God. This suggestion doesn’t appear rational in light of the apparently Biblical suggestion that God is sovereign, that we are designed for His leadership and that attempts to revise that design, regardless of how partially successful they might appear – destroyed environment exchanged for technological advances, for example – appear Biblically suggested to ultimately really represent a step backward. However, for those who apparently prefer independence from God to optimal existence under His leadership, perhaps, the prospects of a lower-quality existence appear preferable to forfeiture of self-direction that appears to have been promised once, yet that appears Biblically-suggested to be false.

Perhaps this is the beginning of what appears to have been referred to as “Hell”: an approximation of what can be constructed by those who don’t want what can be constructed because it’s not self-direction. Here again, the Bible’s apparent comprehensive explanations of concepts apparently related to human experience that appear not offered by science or other sources appears to suggest the Bible’s credibility. There appears to be no other rationale for accepting the level of destruction that appears to accompany the advances we appear to have achieved. The apparent perspective appears to be that, once the “learning curve” threshold is crossed, success will be available. This appears to be a point of faith somewhat similar to that of faith in God.

Humanity appears to include a fierce independent streak. Supposedly, this might be considered an asset. It appears useful for propelling humanity forward as even the Bible appears to suggest that God invited humanity to be (Genesis 1: 28-30). Perhaps this independent streak might even be a possible asset when dealing with other entities that would attempt to usurp God’s leadership. The Bible appears to suggest, however, that it is not an asset when convinced to be directed toward God. It appears suggested to be as fierce a liability as it is independent.

The only solution appears Biblically suggested to be recognition of the signs that neither the advances nor the independence are worth the destruction, and that the ultimate destiny of the quest is similarly much more self-destruction than it might be self-direction. Those who recognize the signs appear Biblically urged to accept the covering of God’s leadership. The Bible further appears to suggest that the alternative is not nearly as desirable.
