Sane Thinking

(quote from RealReality.org/Real_Faith_and_Reason_Vol_2_-_Scientia.pdf)

So only the Holy Spirit can reveal the meaning of Scripture. And it’s not just Scripture, but when the Holy Spirit interprets any observation, experience, or revelation, the Spirit pulls our fleshly veils away so we can see reality as it is. The Holy Spirit never adds anything from unreality. On the other hand, when we interpret observation, experience, or revelation, we go beyond observation, experience, and revelation. We add some thoughts of unreality. We may even add unreality by failing to see something from the observation, experience, or revelation. Or we may deny some part of it. The fallen human mind may claim this process of adding unreality is reasonable. Technically, it’s a form of reasoning, but it’s not sane reasoning or sound reasoning. It’s insane since we can’t manufacture truth. We can only manufacture lies. We must get truth from somewhere. All truth is hidden in Christ. The Holy Spirit must reveal it to us. When the human mind tries to manufacture information, it just makes up stuff and calls the made-up stuff “true.”
