Intellectualism
The intellect is a god. It’s a familiar idol. It gives the illusion of power and authority, but it has no legitimate power or authority.
What is “intellectualism?”
Merriam-Webster gives you this definition:
devotion to the exercise of intellect or intellectual pursuits
Bing search engine gives you these two definitions:
the exercise of the intellect at the expense of the emotions.
the theory that knowledge is wholly or mainly derived from pure reason; Rationalism.
Notice the Bing search engine compares intellect to emotions. Both are weak and incapable of rational thought without divine revelation. Both can react to divine revelation. Both can masquerade as the Holy Spirit. Reason can’t be rational unless it’s based on truth, and the human mind has no way to reason to any truth. Human emotion certainly doesn’t reason to any truth. If you are a follower of Christ, have devotion to Christ and exercise your spiritual senses in the spiritual realm.
