I have seen documentaries about animals and I see that when a mare gives
birth, the foal (baby) comes out and stands within the hour pacing as if he had
done it before, not so the human baby whom we have to teach having passed
several months or even a year. How do animals know they have to attach to their
mother’s breast to get fed, yet humans have to be taught? And some human babies do not even want to
suck hard to get the food out because it’s easier to feed automatically like in
the womb, and that is why they rather drink from a bottle with somewhat a
larger opening. They also have to be taught to suck. I may think we are lazy to
do what we are supposed to. So, the answer to my question before is precisely
that: We have to be taught for everything.
Animals act by instinct (thank God) but children have to be taught in order
to behave the way the parents want them to. We, parents, are also a role model
for them and have to behave accordingly if we want them to follow our steps.
Sometimes we do not have an exemplary life for our child to learn by, or
to follow our steps, but we can change that “renewing ourselves”. If we are
loving parents we are going to teach them the right way and will look for the
right model for them to follow; the
wrong one would be a disaster. The right one is Jesus Himself who taught us how
to conquer, not for this life but for the eternal one by believing in Him. I
hope many would believe. Peter the apostle said: The Lord is not slow about His
promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any
to perish but for all to come to repentance.(2Peter 3.9)
I was never taught the DNA
defeated “theory of evolution” because I always went to Christian schools, but
that truth of being taught by reading dismisses any “smart theory point”: I’ve
never heard an ape reading. Some people
who do not believe in God want to make us look like fools but what they do not
know is that we have had an encounter with the Living God and that is why we
can affirm that what the Bible says is 100% accurate. But we have to read it,
on a daily basis and pray constantly to learn and not perish.
Once we start learning, when we are ready, the Lord will give us the
precious gift of The Holy Spirit who comforts and guides us throughout our
lives to help us see things wisely. The apostle Paul said it: “Do
you not know that you are a temple of God and that the spirit of God dwells in
you? If any man destroys the temple of
God, God will destroy him, for the
temple of God is holy, and that is what you are. Let no man deceive himself. If
any man among you thinks that he is “wise in this age”, he must become foolish,
so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before
God. For it is written, ‘HE IS THE ONE WHO CATCHES the wise IN THEIR
CRAFTINESS.’ and again ‘THE LORD KNOWS THE REASONINGS of the wise, THAT THEY
ARE USELESS.’ So then let no one boast in men. For all things
belong to you” (1 Corinthians 3. 16-21)
I would like to congratulate all the mothers, especially those who make
an effort to teach their children well, in the “foolishness” of Christ so they
can become wise. My
three girls included. BLESSINGS!
