Guest post

Hi all!

I've got a guest post from my Hot Man. He actually originally had it as a comment to my previous post, but my Sexy Man can get a bit wordy when he's passionate about something, and poor blogger was like to explode. So guest post it is!

Enjoy!

To the anonymous individual who commented on my wife's blog. First of all I would extend to you the invitation to try that language towards my wife in person. I trust you will then realize the relationship between Christ's sacrifice for and vicious defense of His bride, and the way a husband is to cleave to His wife as she cleaves to him.

I would also like to point out your cowardice in not trusting one such as the God of the Bible. In denying such a God, you fundamentally give yourself permission to busily strive for money, things, false security (as so many here has pointed out). These ideals have been imposed upon us in such a way that you feel compelled to denounce another in their defense. So I ask, are you a person of conviction, contemplation, and thought, or are you content to have such things decided for you? How could things such as the American ideal of financial security, health benefits, enough food to feed a small community, be adequate measures of good parenting when the majority of the entire world's population past or present has not ever had such things? Is the ideal of good parenting limited to an American context? Are you really suggesting that the only good parents are those who can afford such luxuries? If so you limit the necessary qualities of those who may (by your blessing) have kids to those who are American (or perhaps European or Japanese), who make roughly $70,000/year or more up to two kids and $1000 or more of income for each additional child, who have health insurance, who own land and/or their own home, etc. I hope you can see the absurdity of your position.

Actually, I must admit that your position take far more courage to endure. Mine relies heavily, indeed entirely on the sovereignty of God and His ability to do exactly as He intends; my life revolves around that certainty. Yours has none to rest upon, and indeed you find yourself in open battle with God as you seek to discredit my family and our reliance upon Him. Such a position is dangerous. In fact, now that I think further into this, your position does not carry with it great courage, but ultimate ignorance; as you will eventually come to realize that throughout history, those who stood starkly against God have been destroyed, and the future holds nothing different. You have no more courage than it takes to regurgitate useless drivel which you did not think of for yourself, but that has been spewed to you by others.

As for the comments relative to our children and their states; you are again quite inconsistent in your thought processes. Are you truly suggesting that, before we knew any of these conditions existed that we should have stopped? Is this not a risk any parent takes when having kids? I suppose you would prefer if we simply didn't have children then? Are you American? I am. You may say what you want, but you must endure the exposure of your own ignorance. Do you presume to disallow my right as an American to determine the bounds of my life by the content of my character and how hard I am willing to work? Your ill conceived comments bring up so many questions that I am having difficulty logically organizing them. Please think before you speak and save us all some time. If you suggest the we should now stop having children because we now have children with "special needs", I would ask you, isn't the best medicine for "special needs" socialization? If you have at all researched Autism or the like, you would realize that more children could only help, as the establishment of normal emotional reactions, standards of conduct, etiquette (on a basic level), is only bolstered as that child's behavior is seen to be clearly different and as the other children display acceptable forms of behavior day in and day out. Once again, God's way is proved true by science in this, and every other facet.

I leave you with a sincere hope that you may someday realize the truth of scripture, whether through destruction (as I am not able to say if you are destined to believe or not and may well be amongst those who believe and are damned), or through belief in Christ in this current age, through which you may be reconciled to God and saved from eternal torment.
