Normally, I don’t have anything to say about cheesy film trailers including fake ones because they generally don’t catch my interest or attention but recently, I came across one called Goonpocalypse, [1] (terrible title name in my opinion) which is a satirical trailer for a fake film that is a parody of a film called I Robot which depicts “sex bots” being taken over by a centralized computer and going on a murderous rampage (very much like what happened in the film, I Robot,) but what caught my attention is that the first ten seconds of that trailer, which might be laughable today, could be reality tomorrow and for those of you who read my blogposts, I wrote a previous blogpost warning about this very thing which might very well be a consequence of the gender gap and the male loneliness pandemic because both the gender gap and the male loneliness pandemic are creating the very conditions for something to fill the void in the lives of many men that women are not filling and it could very well be that “sex bots”, if made advanced enough to be presented as both a viable and appealing product, will be presented as a solution to the male loneliness pandemic and they will be made widely available to multitudes of men seeking to relieve the pain and anguish of not having a wife to give them the unconditional love and care that they are longing for.
Something that will not use affection and sex as a bargaining chip or as a wage to be paid but will offer and give it freely and unconditionally.
Something that will not care about what they look like or the size of their bank account.
Will that finally be what drives them to choose their relationships based on what really holds a man and woman together at all times and cause them to lower their expectations very significantly to what any man of decent character can meet, to become significantly more flexible in preferences when it comes to height, age-range, and physical appearances?
Will that finally be what causes them to commit themselves to marrying only those men they can love unconditionally, whom they see themselves spending the rest of their lives with in any and all given circumstances, and to whom they see themselves giving their affections and intimacy freely and unconditionally?
Will that be what finally causes them to value love and relevancy over anything else?
Or will they continue to stubbornly harden their hearts even then?
Men and women were never created to be divided against each other but to be in perfect unity and bound together in a perfect love for one another but in and ironic twist, they also became united in listening to the voice of a lying spirit rather than the voice of God. They became united in their disobedience to God, united in the sin that entered into them as a result of the eating of that forbidden fruit, and as a consequence, both the man and the woman now share the sentence of death and the lying spirit who led Adam and Eve into that fateful act of disobedience had once been an angel named Lucifer who had served at the throne of God as a covering cherub until the day that he had become so lifted up in pride that he thought that he could become like God and as a consequence for attempting to make himself equal with God, he and all who sided with him against God were cast from their places in Heaven (Is. 14:11-21, Ezek. 28:12-19) and it was in that day that Lucifer became known as Satan or the Devil and what he could not accomplish in Heaven, he sought to accomplish on the earth which he did by causing Adam and Eve to eat of that forbidden fruit which they were told by God to not eat which then caused sin to enter into them both and which brought death to them both but the consequences of that act of disobedience did not stop with Adam and Eve, but were extended to the rest of mankind who are descended from them for it is from Adam and Eve that the sin that entered into them was inherited by all of mankind (Rom. 5:12) sin being defined not by just an evil act or ill-spoken words but by the corrupted condition of our nature which not only influences our outward behavior and what we speak, but it also influences our thoughts, motives, and attitudes which then, if given into, produce what is said and the acts that are done which is why it is written that we are not defiled by what comes from without but what is from within (Mt. 15:11, 18-20) and which is why that we all sin and fall short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23) which in turn subjugates us to death which is why it is written that the wages of sins is death (Rom. 6:23) but the consequences of Adam and Eve’s disobedience still does not stop with even mankind, but extends to all of creation and is why death, sin, suffering, pain, sorrow, grief, anguish, and evil abound in this present world and throughout all of creation which is why it is written that the entire creation groans and travails in pain to this day (Rom. 8:19-22) but not only did the disobedience of Adam and Eve bring sin and death to mankind and subjugate creation to the curse brought upon it due to the entry of sin into the world, it also gave Satan justification to claim lordship over the kingdoms and nations of the world (Mt. 4:8-9, Lk. 4:6-7) which is why he is called the prince of this world (Jn. 12:31, 16:11) and he reigns through the power of sin and death and he builds and retains his power upon lies and it was by a lie that he led the first man and the first woman into that fateful act of disobedience by which sin, death, evil, and every kind of grief, suffering, and hardship came into world, and by that same lie he subjugated mankind to sin and death and the entire creation to the death, decay, pain and suffering that is witnessed and experienced in it today, and it was that very same lie that made Satan the father of lies and which also made him a murderer (Jn. 8:44) and not only is Satan a liar and a murderer, but he is also the thief who comes to kill, steal, and destroy (Jn. 10:10)
By sin he murders and destroys and through deceit, he diminished the dominion mandate that was initially given to man (Gen. 1:26) and now has made himself lord and ruler over the entire world and continues to deceive multitudes with his lies, leading them to eternal destruction.
By a lie, he ruined that perfect unity that once existed between God and man and it was by that very lie that Satan had used to lead Adam and Eve into that fateful act of disobedience which brought sin, death, and all kinds of pain and suffering into the world that he had sown disunity and division that continues to this day and the division and the disunity that we witness and experience in the world today did not begin between people and it did not begin between men and women, but it began between man and God because the sin that entered into mankind caused a separation and an estrangement between man and his Maker and then afterwards that division and discord which began between God and man eventually became extended to the household between two brothers which resulted in one killing the other (Gen. 4) and this same division and discord that extended to the children has now not put siblings at odds with one another but it has also put children at odds with their parents, has set neighbor against neighbor, nation against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and has set those who should be enjoying a perfect and uninterrupted unity and fellowship with one another against each other and this same spirit that is responsible for racial division, class warfare, wars between different nations, kingdoms, and factions, political divisions, generational discord, is also responsible for the gender gap crisis as well.
What God intended to be united in a bond of a lasting matrimonial deep and intimate love is now divided by pride, conceit, selfishness, vanity, and self-righteousness, bitterness, envy, and hatred and it ought not exist anymore than any other form of division and that division is caused by the following:
The other is driven by a bitterness, resentment, and self-righteousness.
Neither are acceptable in the eyes of God and both need to be rejected.
God offers to all of us restoration and reconciliation because He is not willing that any should perish but that all would come to repentance (2 Pet. 3:9) and the restoration and reconciliation that He offers is first a reconciliation of man to Himself and then afterwards a restoration of unity between people and the restoration of that unity that he created to exist and to last between the man and the woman and one that is founded only in a pure and genuine self-sacrificing love for each other which begins in Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior whom God sent into the world to offer Himself up on our behalf for our sins and to take away the sins of the world which He did by His death on the cross upon which He was crucified whose sinless blood purchased redemption on behalf of sinful man and after having purchased in His death our redemption, was raised again from the dead so that we, if we will but place our faith in Him for the forgiveness of our sin and for the salvation of our souls, will be made justified in Him in the sight of God the Father. (Rom. 4:25)
And it is the redemption of our souls that we receive in us an inward transformation (2 Cor. 5:17) that causes us to no longer desire to follow after selfish and worldly pursuits but after those things that pertain to the Kingdom of Heaven,
to no longer take pleasure in those things that are evil and displeasing in the sight of the Lord, but in that which is good, right, and pleasing in His sight,
to no longer desire to walk in the lies of this present world, but only in the truth that comes from Christ Almighty who is the source of all truth, (Jn. 14:6)
no longer placing our hopes in the things of this present world, but looking forward to that new and better world to come, (Rev. 21-22)
to no longer rely on worldly resources, men, or even our own power, abilities, skills, and wisdom for our needs and provision but upon God who is able to meet all of our needs, recognizing that the resources of this world and even the people He brings into our lives are but instruments and vessels through which God meets our needs and that the skills, power, knowledge, and wisdom by which we might acquire our provision are provided and instilled in us by God, (Mt. 6:25-33)
to no longer fear what men can do to us, but rather fearing the God before whom we will have to one day give an account for how we lived our lives, (Mt. 10:28)
to no longer look to corruptible institutions within our society for direction and order in our lives but to God who, by His written Word has given us laws and precepts to be applied to our lives and which serve to produce and maintain an ordered life, and who, by His Holy Spirit which comes to dwell within us upon repentance, establishes in our lives a course and direction in our lives to pursue for His glory,
to no longer seek our own glory but the glory of God,
to no longer rally behind corruptible men, but instead behind the incorruptible God in Heaven bearing in mind that those men and women God raises up for our edification are but instruments and servants of His for that respective purpose to which He has called them,
to no longer seek to align ourselves with the things of darkness but only with the things of the light,
to no longer trust in the wisdom of the world but only on the wisdom and knowledge that comes from above, (Jas. 1:5) nor depend on corruptible earthly authorities to swiftly administer justice, but only in the power of God to deliver us from evil.
Men and women have a choice to make: Unity, reconciliation, and restoration under Christ Jesus or a rejection of the grace and redemption He offers to both which will result in a continual division by sin against each other and not only that, an eternity of an unrelenting torment in the darkness and fires of Hell where there is no love, no mercy, and no reconciliation.
But if any of you out there who have yet to call upon the name of the Lord Jesus for the forgiveness of sins desire restoration, reconciliation, and an end to needless conflict and division in your life, then I urge you today to call upon His name for the forgiveness of sins and in sincere repentance because reconciliation and restoration begins with our Creator. It is just a simple sincere prayer of repentance away:
"Lord Jesus I need you.
I realize that I am a sinner
who has fallen short of the glory of God
and that my goodness falls short
of your standard of Moral perfection.
Please forgive me of all of my sins.
Come into my heart and into my life
to be the Savior and Lord of my life.
Make me into the servant and follower
that you want me to be.
In your name Lord Jesus, I pray.
Amen."
Know that God is not concerned with the words that you use to call upon Him forgiveness, but with the attitude of your heart and if you have, with all sincerity, have asked Christ to forgive you of your sins, placing your trust in Him only for your salvation and in nothing else, then your sins are forgiven and your place in Heaven is certain.
