How Can I Know God?

How to Know God?
How Can I Know God?
By Yourself: No! In Christ: Yes!

John begins his revealing of the vision received from Christ via a heavenly messenger, angel, by acknowledging Christ as the Faithful Witness above all other qualities. At first blush one may assume that Christ is faithfully transmitting the revelation He received from the Father and is giving to John. However, it is this type of narrowly focused thinking that gets readers confused when reading the Revelation of Christ. My mind wandered back to John’s Gospel, which I had studied a couple of years ago, and I realized that there was a much larger concept at work in this passage that transcended this apocalyptic revealing of Revelation. Indeed, it lay at the foundation of the Bible and the question of this post. Continue reading “How Can I Know God?” →

Knowing the Unknowable Requires The Key

Christ Imagined by the Lost

Knowing the Unknowable Requires The Key;
This Blasphemous Key Reveals Lost’s Mind

Why is it so hard to understand the Bible? Is God deliberately hiding His Truth from everyone except His select few? Can the unknowable become the knowable through logic and human reasoning? I struggled to understand the answers to these questions. It seems I cannot reach hardly anyone with the Gospel. I also struggled to understand Isaiah’s Mandate: “Keep on hearing, but do not understand;
keep on seeing, but do not perceive…” (Is 6:8-10). Is this why Jesus taught in parables; to keep the Lost, Lost (Mk 4:10-12)? In preparing for my study of Revelation I believe I have gained understanding of this mystery through the study of three words: Encrypt; Mystery and Reveal.

Christ’s Eternal Continual Sacrifice for You

Christ's Eternal Willing Sacrifice

Christ’s Eternal Continual Sacrifice for You;
What is Your Continual Sacrifice to Him?

Christians tend to believe that Christ’s sacrifice ended with His death on the stauros {cross to those who think in Latin}. As part of our study of maturing discernment I propose that Christ’s sacrifice occurred before this Creation and continues into eternity future to never end. Yet, it was a sacrifice He willingly endures for the Joy that was set before Him: Your Salvation (He 12:2)! Continue reading “Christ’s Eternal Continual Sacrifice for You” →

Who is Worthy?

by LeeS, posted in Discernment, Socialism

Orthodox Christianity Does Not
Explain Sin’s Origins or Satan’s Fall

Historically Christian dogma rested on ignorance safely ensconced behind the wall of limited biblical hermeneutical interpretation. Churches could provide little explanation to comfort believers during times of crisis. This left believers easy prey to those false teachers who had easy explanations based not on Scripture but on simply believism. This is the foundation for the introduction of heresy and confused doctrines. Continue reading “Who is Worthy?” →

Jonah: A Study in Ridiculousness

by LeeS, posted in Discernment, Gospel, Nihilism

Turning Jonah into a caricature
robs this book of its truths

No other Old Testament book elicits more repudiation in the veracity of the Bible than the book of Jonah. The standard belief that a man is swallowed by a fish, survives and then preaches repentance to a very powerful militaristic nation that turns to God is beyond the belief of modern man; as well it should for that is not really the truth of this book.

Government: One Body for All

Sinisterism: Defining Man’s
One Body Imitation of Christ

Continuing our discussion of socialism from last week (Government Without Socialism?) we need to understand the context of current events or we lose any sense of the big picture and simply run from one “crisis” to another. Since Lucifer is not the author of anything new we need to understand what he is attempting to copy in order to understand seemingly unrelated events and forces at work today.

What Are Perilous Times?

by LeeS, posted in Discernment, Gospel

Bible speaks of Perilous Times
But What Does it Mean and When?

Surely, we must be living in “perilous times” and “last days” when violence is in every headline! The Christian should turn to the Bible to learn the meaning of these terms; however, the discerning Christians will look behind the vernacular language to understand what the original language meant when it used these terms.

Economics Without Christ – Globalization

Regionalization: Waystop Toward Globalization
Government Does not Control Everything
It IS Everything

When General Eisenhower gave his speech to the troops about to participate in the D-Day landings he used the words, “united nations”, euphemism for globalization. The success of these landings not only spelled the end of the NAZI government but also the end of all national governments. That day the world changed and no one noticed.

Ignorance That Kills

Ignorance is Dangerous

Ignorance is Dangerous Because
The Ignorant Control What You Believe

In last week’s post (“What Is a Human Life Worth?“) I spoke of the doom of ignorance. This week I will attempt to show that everyone is ignorant to some extent in their worldview. There are those who are ignorant because they have not been exposed to truth, there are those who understand their ignorance and seek to alleviate their ignorance which is a lifelong process and there are those who are ignorant but believe they have ALL the truth.

Omniscience of Atheism

Atheists Proof

The Paradox of Atheism
Knowledge of the Metaphysical
Logical Fallacy of Shifting the Burden of Proof

I was thinking about the “Liar’s Paradox” this morning when I realized its application to atheism. Essentially the Liar’s Paradox says, “This sentence is false.” However, if it is a lie then the sentence is true! If one says, “This sentence is true,” then it is also a true statement. When taken without context the statement is true either way. The same can be said for atheism. Continue reading “Omniscience of Atheism” →
