human husbandry best left up to God
Monday June 21st, Isaiah 65: 8 This is what the LORD says: "As when juice is still found in a cluster of grapes and men say, 'Don't destroy it, there is yet some good in it,' so will I do in behalf of my servants; I will not destroy them all. 9 I will bring forth descendants from Jacob, and from Judah those who will possess my mountains; my chosen people will inherit them, and there will my servants live. We can prune trees, cultivate gardens, even practice animal husbandry, but the cultivation of the human species is best left up to God. We have tried, and we are all familiar with the results of trying to play god by our rules, ethnic cleansing, war, genocide, gas chambers and draconian immigration policies. And yes Arizona, they do all fit in the same category. The difference between God’s attempts at human cultivation and human cultivation is that God loves us and takes the spoils of the messes we have created and tries to work them to the good. Humanities attempts are only thinly disguised attempts of two year old tyrant having a temper tantrum.
