Jesus IS The Answer. How Is It His Body Seems Never To Have Answers?

We pray to commune and be with God. And subsequently we get answers to questions. Why are Christians so afraid to say they have the answers or access to them? Or, why don't we seem have answers?

James 1:5
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that gives to all men liberally, and upbraides not; and it shall be given him.

Are we are afraid to come off arrogant? Every other sphere is allowed and expected to solve problems. Why not the Church? It makes us look hokey. And the more we do not have solutions, the more we become emotional "blankies" only, and not the the strong tower where men are saved and remain. They may be annoyed at first, but after consideration and time, people are comforted by truth and answers, which are comforting as much and more in the long run, as a shoulder to cry on.

Consider Jesus to the woman at the well, Jesus to the San Phoenician woman, and Jesus to Martha and Mary after Lazarus died. He weeps and is compassionate, but He still speaks truth even if harsh, and even in the very moment of sorrow or distress. Everytime truth is given and the answer is received, the situation or person is healed.  Truth sets free. His truth and mercy endures forever. There can be no mercy, which is a judgement, without first acknowledging truth or finding the right path.

Part two to the question is it is possible that we really do not have the answers? But how can that be? We have to ask why? Especially as the world waxes worse.
James 1:6
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
James 1:7
For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

It seems we, the Church is waivering. That is what actually prompted me to write.  All Creation is wating for the sons of God. It will continue to groan until we solve problems and are more than comfort with no substance. (Rom 8)

As we know, most of the worlds and Americas problems are political. If the sons of God are for Creation, then we can not back away from this sphere. While only those graced and sent should actually enter the realm, we all must pray and be informed.

Jesus said render unto Caesar what is Caesars and render unto God what is Gods. While in context He said this concerning money, Jesus did not tear down any part of the Roman government. He respected authority, even gaining respect of centurians. He paid His taxes, though He stated He knew they were unfair. (Not that taxes are bad, but that Rome and the tax collectors were cheating the people, especially the Jews.) Jesus focused on the Kingdom of God being within us, and therefore enabling us to reign in any circumstance, or condition. It is appropiate to fight for justice, but it isn't necessary to tear down sound laws or make civil laws line up biblically in every way. It takes grace and the Holy Spirit to know which is which.

I say to the Church, render to America what is Americas and render to God what is Gods. To do so, you have to know how to rightly divide the two. This means the Christian has to be informed politically as well as informed spiritually, even just to pray.

And we depend on those graced by God to reign in the political realm to help explain; those who educate us only and those who are in or are to be in offices.

We plow. We sow. We labor. The Harvest is ready. Answers and solutions will reap the saints and sons, and uncover the glory.
