“GREEN” Muscle Car

OXYMORON: A figure of speech in which contradictory terms appear side by side.

Finally a muscle car for the “political correct”, the “socially aware”, the “tree huggers: the TESLA Roadster.  It is an all electric battery vehicle.  It will go 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds.  It has “zero” emissions.  Cost: $109,000.  It “looks” like it could be a muscle car.  It has the speed to be a muscle car;

BUT,

It does not rumble. It hums!  “Zero” noise pollution!  Does it get any better?

Problem!  Never let the battery run dead!  Don’t drive it to the airport and park it for a month even if you park it in the budget lot.  Battery dead, no problem, call AAA, get it jumped.  NOT!!!

It will cost $40,000 to get it started if battery dies.  YUP!  If battery dies you have a $109,000 brick.  The entire battery must be replaced which cost a mere $40,000. 

The Tesla is a symbol of today’s church, “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof.” 2 Timothy 3:5

Does this sound like the conditions Paul describes in his letter to the Romans.

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
24Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator”

Paul tells them that creation reveals the “attributes of God”, “His eternal power”’ but instead of worshiping and glorifying God they worshiped the “creature rather than the creator”.

How many “programs” did the New Testament church have?  NONE!  They had only a mission! 

“they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.”  Mark 16:20

Does this sound or look like today’s church? 

Jesus never was, never is, and never will be an easter bunny.  Jesus never was, never is, and never will be politically correct.  Today, many people went to church, who never go except for Easter, Christmas, to be married or buried.  Did they meet the real Jesus today?  Did they meet the Jesus that everyone will one day have to answer to?  The Jesus of Revelatons:

11Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:
        KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
Revelations 20:11-16
