How complex is a child’s Love for their parent or Mother for that same child? Infinitely simple yet arguably more profound and a subject upon which more novels have been written than the atom itself. How simple is truth, a light switch that simply is or isn’t? How then realistically would those adverse to truth, struggle to conceal its simplicity within the shroud of complex jargon or academic eloquence? How then complex would their explanations become when asked that simple question, on/off, light/dark, true or false?
We fight for simple rights endowed by a Creator that we have duly expressed in an existence that is painfully and dynamically obvious by the Creation that surrounds each of us. We pursue happiness immediately designating an individual adventure seeking the things in one’s own desirous heart. Simple yet how much deeper and precise the psychological explanation of that simple journey designed to make something easily understood into a miasma of words, concepts and legalize.
Each of us needs food, water and protection from the elements to survive. Again the simplest understanding of something that could take centuries to explain in scientific jargon, equations and historical context. Do we need someone to explain to us each time we thirst how the water in infused into our cells and utilized by that cell to maintain a myriad of functions for which the water is essential? Do we need to know exactly how the plants utilize the water when they are watered in order to know that the water is a major element of why it will satisfy our hunger and feed our bones and flesh? Do we need to know the Hydrogen Oxygen bond within the molecule to be refreshed and have our thirst sated while drinking.
Who then would benefit from a consistent attempt to complexify the order of these simple things within each of our lives? Perhaps those looking for justification for actions that are unarguably wrong from first focus but when looked upon with the complex interaction of rare events somehow plausibly appear right? Wait isn’t truth and falsity one of those simple comparisons, easy enough to determine without deduction or induction? Yes, that is the exact point to the argument and the battle waging before us in humanity for the simplicity and the complexity of things. Those who do not wish to accept the watch/watch maker relationship must develop complex theories without end to explain away their desire to avoid the rules of the Watch Maker.
We know that this world is going the wrong direction. Each of us acknowledges that fact, yet having the same conversation with someone of a complex understanding and deep knowledge of ethical relativism the in-congruence of a world prone toward chaos is some how a good thing. Through Anarchy’s chaotic penchant they revel in the elusive absence of ministering principles the idea that all their pent up desires may roam free without accountability’s embrace. Their Scientist’s Preach Entropy as if they can measure the winding down of the universe and somehow encounter God in that factoring. Yet, even as they see all things winding down they hope not or prepare not for the calamity of unmaking, but rather for some Golden hour of their rebirth within the power of starts and night. The foster; transhumanism, evolutionary humanism, genomics, augmentation of human organs, limbs and output, lift elongation through artificial intervention, freezing, mummification, ritualistic spiritualization, psyche-life force upload, all clearly complex methods of prolonging the simply end to a mortal life that faces all of us.
It is wrong to take sexual advantage of a child. You can argue into next century that some are more mature, ancient cultures cherished this, their life force coupled with yours produces and energy achievable by other means. These are all bold faced calculated attempts to complexify the simple. I am sorry that you do not believe in an after life and that this life to you is the end of your existence and frankly the end to any of your worldly pleasure pursuits. You may not prolong it through evil or complex attempts to reverse or circumvent God’s mechanisms of control over His Creation. I know that you desperately must find another way around the fact that we all die and face our Maker. I get it you do not in any form want to be in front of a Maker you denied and did everything to anger or disobey, but those are the simple facts about this life. There is one way of escaping this facade of complexity you are chasing and that is to repent of your sin, cry out to God for forgiveness and surrender your hand and your heart to the eternal life He has promised all who accept that merciful offer.
It is simple. It has never been hard to gather, grasp or comprehend, yet even now I see in your eyes it escapes you. I am sorry that you have to make the world a complex and difficult journey. There are other answers that do not require alternate reality to comprehend it all as it really is. I pray for you that you see the simple truth that sits before you, In Jesus’ Precious Name.
