“At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.” Jeremiah 3:17
(quote from RealReality.org/Real_Faith_and_Reason_Vol_2_-_Scientia.pdf)
Human Imagination as a Way of Knowing
God created the human imagination for a purpose, but assumption misuses this part of the mind. We can’t trust visions that come out of our minds. God gives a true vision. God’s vision activates all our spiritual senses. The human mind can create a vision, and God can give a vision. These two ways of using the imagination are different from each other. They’re opposed to each other.
What’s the root of this confusion?
- failure to believe that God is real
- human pride
- fleshly human desire
- failure to give glory to God
- failure to seek God for answers
- failure to listen to God’s voice
- failure to yield to God in humble submission
