Chapter 9: Rationalization of Mankind

Page 31

The information on reason and wisdom from the Apocryphal Book of

4 Maccabees should be enough for you to obtain a Bible with these forgotten books. Most of the Apocryphal books are in the Catholic Bible. However, I only found 3 & 4 Maccabees in the NRSV Apocryphal. The other three translations in my Parallel Bible did not have these books. Protestant Bibles

started to delete the Apocryphal books somewhere around 1300-1500 A.D.

You will find some wonderful writings in the Apocryphal books so I highly recommend them. Apocryphal is a word that refers to questionable

authorship and the reason these books were excluded by Protestants is related to an inability to verify their authenticity or authorship. Having read them, I certainly feel they are of comparable writings to the rest of the Bible.

The United States Senate collectively rationalized and condoned

adulterous sexual behavior at the very highest level of government in the United States. The Democratic Party in the Senate functioning in solidarity could not find the collective wisdom to admonish and remove a president that dishonored the office he was sworn to uphold. Instead, during the

sexual fiasco of President William Jefferson Clinton, the leaders of the Democratic Party sought repeatedly to isolate his moral behavior from his ability to govern as president. Should we now elect immoral Presidents in the United States? Is that the kind of leadership we want? Yet isn’t this the

thinking in much of our society now? There has been a huge moral shift in just the last fifty years. I bear witness for God to increased immorality.

Just forty years ago, Democrats were concerned about whether John

Kennedy a Catholic could be elected President. Now, at the beginning of a new millennium, Democrats seek to rationalize immoral and indecent behavior in the highest elected office of our land. Do you also rationalize President Clinton’s behavior? Are boys just being boys like a lot of women

think? You know, boys can’t help themselves? What about the other immoral aspects of the Democratic Party and other political parties? Do you rationalize the killing of babies as a woman’s right? What about euthanasia?

God Expects Reason Not Rationalization!
