When Adam and Eve sinned they broke the face-to-face pattern of communication established by God. This process was destined to hold true except in extremely rare exceptions as noted in the Old Testament. Leading up to the establishment of the New Covenant Church in 31 A.D., Jesus came to earth and communicated with man as […]
Biblephobia
Phobia: Aversion to or fear of any specified object or situation. Webster’s Concise Dictionary, Encyclopedic Edition. The word “unreasonable” is also used in reference to the condition described above. I use the word “Biblephobia” to describe those who own, carry, read, quote from, witness about, etc. God’s Word but who are adamantly averse to and […]
The Conscience (cont. 3)
Due to having established hundreds of “churches,” each with its own concept of right and wrong, Satan has any number of ways by which he can bring conviction on his proselytes. I once heard of a church that condemned the drinking of hot chocolate. Catholics feel guilty for missing mass. Some churches believe that baptism […]
The Conscience (Cont. 2)
How many of us have been told by well-meaning people that we are to “Let your conscience be your guide.” This works fine IF our conscience is founded on God’s Word. There is a false belief that for those in “the church,” their conscience is automatically geared to His Truth. This makes for a good […]
The Conscience (cont. 1)
The “things of man” are found in abundance in two distinct locations: the unchurched world and the churched world, both of which dine at the same trough on spiritual food supplied by Satan. God warned the church early on about Satan injecting his food (doctrines) into her theology: “Now the Spirit says expressly that in […]
The Conscience
Conscience: The faculty by which one distinguishes between right and wrong–Webster’s Concise Dictionary, Encyclopedic Edition. In the social realm of person-to-person relationships our conscience tells us what is right or wrong relative to the attitude of those around us. Most societies have both written laws and unwritten customs designed to remind their citizens of what […]
Cognitive Dissonance (cont. 2)
Today I marvel at God’s patience and longsuffering. He never withdrew His call on my life. This website is in a sense written testimony about the walk He called me to walk so many years ago, which is generally speaking the same walk He has called everyone to take in that He is not a […]
Cognitive Dissonance (Cont. 1)
In Exodus 19:5/Deuteronomy 14:2/Psalms 135:4/Titus 2:14/1Peter 2:9 God characterizes His true children in a totally different way than do church people when describing their own. The church takes great pride in being “everyman,” common, one of the people, able to fit into any situation so as to be accepted by those around her. God, on […]
Cognitive Dissonance
The question often asked by those minutely few saints who believe and obey God’s Word is: “Why do Bible-carrying, cross-wearing, scripture-quoting, sermon-preaching, witnessing, pamphlet-giving, church-building, fish-displaying people refuse to believe the Words of the One they claim has saved them? The answer involves a psychological principle known as “cognitive dissonance.” Church people, especially uber-religious pillars […]
The Monster Among Us (cont. 1)
Many years ago I stated that television would bring about the spiritual downfall of mankind. I was wrong. T.V. was merely the appetizer on Satan’s buffet of sin purveyors that would eventually culminate in his latest weapon of mass spiritual destruction–the internet. The original IT took up a three square foot area of the living […]
