i keia la, kū ko mākou ʻohana ma ke Akua ʻoki.
Lawe ʻia ka ʻeiwa o mākou ma luna o Athabasca Glacier ma Kanada. Heʻoiaʻiʻo maoli nō i ko mākou kū ʻana i ka hau a hohonu ka kiʻekiʻe o ka hale kiaʻi ʻo Eiffel. ʻ saylelo wau "chisel", no ka mea, ʻo nā glacier ka mea i kālai ʻia i nā kahakiʻi honua e like me kā mākou e ʻike nei.
Hiki i kekahi ke ʻike i ka mana weliweli a koʻikoʻi hoʻi o ke Akua. Hoʻopau kēia glacier i loko o ʻekolu moana. Hoʻouna ia i nā kahawai i loko o nā kahawai nui ʻaʻole lawe wale i ka wai hou i mau miliona o ka poʻe, akā hānai i nā wahi wai e lawe ana i ka mana i nā kūlanakauhale nui o ʻAmelika Hema. A huki ia i ka poʻe mai ka honua holoʻokoʻa e nānā i ka makaʻu i nā ikaika o ke kūlohelohe.
Akā noʻonoʻo au ... ua lohe paha kekahi i ka ʻōlelo a ka ʻilaka? E like me ka nui o nā kūlohelohe i kēia lā, ke ʻike nei nō hoʻi kēia ʻānō i "trauma" i ka wā e heheʻe wikiwiki ai ... me nā kahe nui, nā ʻino nui, nā ʻōlaʻi ikaika, nā kai eʻe, a me nā nalu wela weliweli e kuʻi ana i ka honua. A he aha ke ʻano o kēia glacier, me nā ʻano kūlohelohe e ʻōlelo nei?
Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made. As a result, they have no excuse...( Roma 1:20 )
E hōʻole i ke ola ʻana o ke Akua, ʻike maopopo ʻia i ka nui o nā hana mana kupanaha, nā helehelena ʻānela, a ʻo ka mea ʻoi loa, i ka naʻauao o ke kūlohelohe, ʻaʻole noʻonoʻo a loiloi hoʻi. Ua hoʻomau ʻo Paulo i ka ʻōlelo ma ka paukū 21-23,
...for although they knew God they did not accord him glory as God or give him thanks. Instead, they became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened. While claiming to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals or of snakes.
