"False children of God" - a term some elitist folks love throwing
around.
Look at the pictures; they are pisang merah
from the same plant. There were eight combs - each comb with about 15-20
bananas.
Because of the rainy weather, the excessive
moisture caused not a few of the bananas to split; they look sickly and ugly.
The sight of them may even cause some to lose their appetite for this delicious
and nutritious fruit. In their madness, they will brand them as FALSE bananas.
But what are false bananas? Is a false banana a banana or is it not? If it is
still a banana no less, in what sense is it false then?
In the spiritual realm, God's children come
in all varying degrees of spiritual maturity - in all shapes and sizes.
- some are well-formed, others still have
deformities;
- some are well-instructed, others are still
in their ignorance;
- some are learning and coming to the truth,
others are always learning but never able to come to the truth;
- some are hearing and bearing fruit, others
are hearing but remain barren;
- some have attained unto maturity, others
remain babes;
- some are teachable, others are stiffnecked
and stubborn...
Heb 5
12 ¶For when for the time ye ought to be
teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles
of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of
strong meat.
13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful
in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are
of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to
discern both good and evil.
