From the play The PIT: The Road to Salvation

Scene:

The discourse now faces a very difficult question. Several of the guests, who firmly believe in GOD, still find it very hard to understand why GOD condemned the ENTIRE HUMAN RACE for that one simple act of disobedience from Adam. Where is the love, fairness and justice in that??

Paul the Apostle: [stands and looks at Mother Theresa] Without question, Albert and Dennis are both right. I too, feel a gentle guidance that is mysteriously orchestrating this entire event. [sits]

Idi Amin: [stands abruptly] There you weaklings go again!! [remains standing]

Darryl: [stands to face Idi, who is directly in front of him] I cannot explain this, but for some reason, I am no longer angry with you. [sits]

Idi Amin: [looks over his shoulder at Darryl] Don’t make me laugh. You are just now coming to your senses! [now looks over to Lucifer] Any orders sir?

Lucifer: [responds to Amin from his seat] Yes! Speak only when I tell you to speak! In the meantime, remain seated and stop wasting energy!

Idi Amin: [humbly responds to Lucifer] Yes sir. [sits]

Paul the Apostle: [stands to speak  - directing his eyes at Lucifer’s offspring  who have just arrived] It is a real blessing for me to meet you all; particularly you Hate. My faith has taken another splendid leap forward with your presence. [now looking at the rest of the group] Actually, there is indeed one thing that I completely agree with Hate: [he looks directly at Hate] I do see you in the mirror each morning as I start my day. I also know that you are, without question, definitely your Father’s son. [now looking at the entire group]
None of us, especially our six new guests, will ever get even the slightest idea of the massive impudence of Lucifer. What he did was indeed far, far past audacious. So I say again, that I am blessed by your presence. For it cements ever deeper into my heart, my need for GOD!! [remains standing]

Mother Theresa: [speaks to Paul from her seat] Short and wonderful!

Dennis: [stands to interrupt] Paul, please allow me to add something I’ve given a considerable amount of thought on. [remains standing]

Paul: [sits as he responds to Dennis] You have the floor!

Dennis: [looking at Paul] Thank you. I promise to be brief. [now looking at the group, especially Lucifer] I would like to add a visualization to Paul’s point about the massive impudence of Lucifer; thinking in his heart that he could rise to the level of GOD himself.

Please listen to this, as it is, in my humble opinion, a very, very critical point. It also relates to Original Sin and the rationale behind why the ENTIRE HUMAN RACE was punished because of it.

First, Paul is right, we will never come close to fully understanding just how incredibly impudent it was for Lucifer to think that he could actually overcome his Maker! Nevertheless, please pay attention to hear this paltry analogy. My intent is to give you, hopefully, at least a tiny sliver of understanding of an unimaginable level of impudence.

Close your eyes for a minute and try to imagine this, though it will be very difficult and very, very unpleasant:


Your handsome and bright young two year old child is playing nicely in his own bedroom with his new toys in a wonderful and warm home that you purchased just for him. As you watch this beautiful young life that you brought into this world, the enormous love you have for him goes deeper than any word, or combination of words, can bring forth.  A more beautiful scene could not possibly exist anywhere. You gently ask him to do something and he responds to you by:

intentionally and sternly giving you the middle finger and spitting in your face!!

Far beyond shocking, isn’t it?  [sits] [the entire group, even Lucifer and his offspring, becomes silent; grasping such an unspeakable and unimaginable scene]

Dear Readers:

The question now becomes: if this were you, and you had infinite power to do whatever you wished, what would YOU do to your child? This of course is a rhetorical question. We will NEVER understand such madness.

This paltry analogy is only meant to get your minds, via the use of your own mental images from this short story,  to at least begin the process of understanding and reconciling the divine wisdom, pure justice fortified by Love, that GOD doled out to the human race for that infinitely massive transgression of Adam. 

And let us not forget, THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL gives us a way out of our current state of mortality and a clear road map to enter HIS KINGDOM!

Blessings to each of you!!
