MANY CHRISTIANS ARE MISSING OUT

Rationalists are trapped by their own corrupted minds. Thoughts become strongholds and then become chains dragging the thinker into ever descending spirals and finally into death. Rationalists do this without realizing they’re in bondage. Thinking they’re rational, they’re in a form of insanity. Thinking they are free, they become slaves to the lower elements.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Proverbs 3:5-6

Direct your attention to Jesus Christ, and He will give you the answer to your questions.

Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. Jeremiah 33:3

Satan started the lie called ‘Rationalism’ in the Garden of Eden

Satan started the philosophy of Rationalism in the Garden of Eden when He said, “You shall be as gods knowing both good and evil.” Rationalism surged among philosophers around 570 years before Christ. It surged again during the so-called “Enlightenment” starting around 1635 in France. Rationalistic thinking is ungodly thinking. It denies that all truth, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, righteousness, holiness, and freedom from sin are found only in Christ. And it denies originals sin. In the early 1700s, rationalists opposed the Great Awakening. Not too many years later, rationalists opposed the Second Great Awakening.

The battle continues to the present. The fight is still between made-up stuff and divine revelation. Naturalism and Materialism became popular doctrines in the 1600s. Charles Lyell and Charles Darwin worked to denigrate the Bible in the 1800s. From the start, the rationalists resorted to appeal-to-ridicule fallacies and appeal-to-popularity fallacies. When those didn’t work, they went to message-control and censorship. When those didn’t work, they resorted to violence and coercion. That continues to this day. Rationalism was confined to the Unitarian Church at first, but the infection spread. You can see it today in many religious and secular organizations.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACULOUS REVELATION?

Almost everyone believes in some form of miraculous revelation. Few will admit it. Most never even admit it to themselves. Many base their thoughts on a form of miraculous revelation called “Rationalism.” Rationalists are particularly sensitive and defensive about this since they think they are the rational ones. Rationalism is irrational. Rationalism is assuming and trying to make those assumptions seem rational. It’s a method of trying to make irrational thinking seem rational.

Formal philosophies of Rationalism exist. Rationalist philosophers believe the human mind can self-generate truth without the benefit of divine revelation, experience, or observation. They believe all humans have goodness in them. They deny the biblical doctrine of original sin. They claim human intellect can reason to the truth. And all of that is based on a circular reasoning fallacy. Rationalism makes human intellect into a god that miraculously conjures up truth from nothing at all.

The Critical Question “How do you know?”

“How do you know?” That’s one of the most important questions you could ever ask anyone. Not only should you ask others, but each of you ought to ask yourself that question many times each day. “How do you know?” Asking that question should be a habit. When someone tries to persuade you, you can ask that question. You could phrase your question several different ways. “What makes you think so?” “What gives you that idea?” “What’s the basis of your thinking on that?” “How do you arrive at that conclusion?”
It’s a tough question, and few people can answer it rationally regardless of the subject. Most people drift off into the land of make-believe or suddenly leave the conversation because they don’t want to think things through.

Don’t let the tactics of godless thinkers deceive you when you ask them how they know. Godless thinkers offer proofs that don’t prove what they’re trying to prove. They offer proofs, but they have no proof of the proofs. They offer proofs that aren’t necessarily true. And they end in an infinite regression of unproved proofs. They resort to name-calling, emotion, intimidation, ridicule, or bullying. They just insist they are correct about whatever opinion they have, and they ask you to believe their claims without proving the claims are true. Don’t let them fool you. Don’t let them wear you out.

The question is, “How do you know?” Have you asked this question? Did you get a solid answer? Did someone avoid answering you? Did they give you a ridiculous answer?

The old foolishness and self-righteousness mixed with the old immorality

NORMALIZING

New bizarre claims keep coming. The new claims may sound wild for now, but you’ll accept them if you aren’t careful. Then, you’ll be just as idiotic as the elite intellectuals who made the claims in the first place.

The intellectuals and power-brokers try to enforce their ideas by appealing to political correctness. If you don’t blindly believe their nonsense, they try to destroy you. They shame you. They call you names. If you don’t agree with their insanity, they imply you’re ignorant, insane, or evil. They judge you to be politically incorrect and a bad person. They judge you according to their immoral thinking. They call you “judgmental.” They call you “closed-minded.”

I understand political correctness. It morphed from something called “the new morality.” I understand the new morality because it’s the old foolishness and self-righteousness mixed with the old immorality.

There’s a reason the intellectuals come up with irrational ideas. It’s not that they’re stupid. They’re intelligent. Lack of intelligence isn’t the problem. The problem is they aren’t reasoning from truth. Schools have stopped teaching students that sound reasoning must always begin with the truth. That’s because those who are running the show don’t believe finding the truth is possible.

I want to assure you that you can know the truth. When I say “know the truth,” I mean knowing with certainty. You can be certain about what is true and what is false. You can know what’s right and what’s wrong.

However, there’s a secret to it. There’s a way to know the truth, but you need the key. How many people understand the secret? Before you’re finished, I’ll show you the secret key to knowing the truth and knowing the difference between truth and error.

Jesus is the Truth. ALL wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him. He gives freely to all who ask.

If you can’t trace what you hear or read to absolute truth, it’s mere opinion.

Here’s the problem. You can’t know anything for certain without absolute truth. If your thoughts aren’t based on absolute truth, then your thoughts are mere opinions. I’ve been guilty of this. I’ve had God speak to me and tell me that I based my thinking on nothing at all. That shook me to my core.

So, how can anyone even survive without truth? If a person without truth can’t be rational, wouldn’t every person in this predicament live in poverty or die quickly at a young age? It doesn’t work that way. Irrational people do get into high positions and do live what appear to be normal lives. Just think of some people you’ve seen in top positions and the poor decisions they’ve made.

All wisdom and knowledge and wisdom are hidden in Christ. Christ is the Light. He lights every person. God’s rain falls on the righteous and the unrighteous. Some people just refuse to acknowledge and thank God. What happens to them? God tells us in Romans 1: “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.”

The world has gone crazy because it has no truth. Intellectuals make many bizarre claims.

Here’s what can happen to you. Over the months and years, you can start to feel comfortable with their bizarre claims. You can become numb. After a while, some old bizarre claims don’t sound so crazy anymore even though they’re just as crazy as when you first heard them. You may have resisted the lunacy at first, but the crazy people persisted and repeated their messages until those messages sounded normal to you. You became as crazy as the crazy people because you let them normalize insanity for you. You internalized craziness. You let craziness become part of your inner concept of reality.

I hope you’ve escaped this insanity. It’s almost impossible. It takes a miracle to escape.

Hollywood, ungodly music, and godless news programs influence your morality and make you immoral.

If you allow Hollywood to influence your morality, you will be immoral. They are experts at psychological operations and mass brainwashing. If you give yourself to ungodly music, you will be immoral. If you allow the godless news programs to influence your morality, you will be immoral. If you allow ungodly scholars and experts to influence you, you will be immoral.

If you listen to the false prophets and false teachers (scientists, politicians, media personalities, theologians, philosophers, and scholars), they are likely to influence your view of the world. They want to influence you, but that’s not all. They also want to control the way you think about reality. They want to form a fake-reality within you. They want to dictate morality to you. They will likely influence your morality if you listen to them.

God’s wisdom is pure and peace-loving.

Some wisdom is demonic. God’s wisdom is pure and peace-loving.

Morality is one part of your life. God is shaking every part of your life. God has been shaking everything. God is shaking all the so-called authorities and voices you trusted, and He’s exposing their corruption. You have a sense God is going to continue to expose the false prophets and false teachers of this age who proclaim lies from their newsrooms and classrooms. You see the newsrooms and universities falling from their high perches as God shakes their trees. You see scientists and teachers promoting ideas so insane they lose all credibility with anyone who has a hint of wisdom or understanding. God is exposing these and other false prophets and false teachers so you have the chance to choose. You have a choice. You can either love the lies or reject and expose the lies. You can choose the truth.

And yet, many people are still following these false prophets and false teachers. The false prophets and teachers are drawing them in. And those who follow the lies enjoy it. They like it that way. They want to follow the false prophets and false teachers.

Look who they’re following. Most scientists, politicians, media personalities, theologians, philosophers, and scholars have strong opinions about topics when they know little or nothing about those topics. And yet, thousands or millions want to follow them if they’re celebrities or authorities. It’s as if those following the false prophets and false teachers are blind and can’t see. They’re in darkness. They love darkness rather than the Light. They hate the Light and turn away from it.

The Light is Jesus Christ, and He anyone who turns their attention to Him in reverence and sincere desire for the truth and righteousness will find Him. He speaks to every person through Scripture and every means of divine revelation mentioned in Scripture. He speaks through His people, dreams, visions, an inner quiet voice, or just knowing by what we call intuition. If we are seeking His mind, we will receive His wisdom and knowledge. If we aren’t purposely seeking Him, we will receive something else: our own worldview and self-talk, or the voices of demons. Since the human mind can’t reason to knowledge of the truth and all knowledge and wisdom are hidden in Christ, any wisdom or knowledge of truth you have ever had came from Christ. Did you thank Him, or did you grab the credit for yourself?

James 3:14-18 But if you harbor bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast in it or deny the truth. Such wisdom does not come from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice.
But the wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peace-loving, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap the fruit of righteousness.

How God Will Transform You

The Church been a house divided. Why?

Why has the Church been a house divided? Because God’s people haven’t been listening to His voice. We have no idea how many of our thoughts and opinions have been influenced and shaped by the devil, the world, and our sinful flesh. Only the Holy Spirit can correct us. And the Holy Spirit won’t force Himself on us. He comes where He is welcomed. If we have blocked off parts of our mind and thinking as off limits to correction, He will wait for us to yield to Him. That’s why God speaks to us through the Bible, asking us to seek His face and to seek His mind. He asks us to repent, which literally means “have a new mind.” If we refuse the Holy Spirit in any part of our lives, God can’t help us. God says, “If any person thinks he or she knows any thing, he or she doesn’t know that thing as he or she ought to know it.”

If God’s people allow the Holy Spirit to lead them, do you think the Holy Spirit would contradict Himself and cause conflict? The only conflict the Holy Spirit will cause is a conflict with lies and the old leaven of rationalized doctrine.

Ungodly moralizers can move the lines because they drew the lines in the first place.

Moralizers

Each moralizer draws a line in the sand and says, “I’m a moral person and I won’t cross this line.” And yet, it’s just a line in the sand. Moralizers look at all the possible evil acts. Then, each moralizer claims certain evil acts are “OK.” Others are “not OK.” That’s the line in the sand. And yet, under certain conditions, any ungodly thinker can move his or her line in the sand. Ungodly thinkers can move the lines because they drew the lines in the first place.

They based their lines in the sand on foundations like these:
• Emotions
• random thoughts
• peer pressure
• inner paradigms
• interpretations of past experiences
• interpretations of observations
• interpretations of the Bible
• ideas they were taught
• other changeable thinking

Their lines are arbitrary and moveable, so you can never pin them down. Without truth, they have no real morality, integrity, knowledge, purpose, or meaning. Without truth, their entire world is shakable. They have nothing solid. The human mind can’t reason to truth. Only God can reveal truth.

The narrow way is very narrow. Whatever is not of faith is sin. Faith comes by hearing the rhema (leading) of God. We must take time to commune with God and listen to His voice. Faith gives access to God’s grace, which says God’s words and does God’s acts through us. Our part is to yield. That is the only true righteousness. Everything else is virtue signaling and pride.
