Rights Are Rooted In God.

Image
We barely come to think as to the reasons as to why we have rights, and how this ingenious mechanism of law has protected persons against the tyranny of the majority via authorities.  If it be, that rights are merely a matter of the opinion of men and if it be that, there does not exist a higher objective standard. We are surely forsaken. However, the authors of the Constitution wrote that every man was created equal. Meaning we are all made in the image of God. Not that we have equal capabilities and will have equal resources or outcomes. The idea of rights is rooted in the Christian idea that every man; even an enemy, needs their chance in court before a judge and should not be tortured. Due to the dignity that God provides. This reminds me of the story of the good samaritan, and how it exemplifies, what it truly means to be a good neighbor. This story is exemplified in the gospel of Luke in chapter 10: verses 25-37  On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesu...

Moral Relativism And Ethical Decay Today.

Image
Moral Relativism has merged as a consequence of the collapse of the Christian paradigm in the west. This is a consequense of ideas, that have alienated people from their beliefs. We are at a point in time, as to which people trust 'authorities' or the soçial consensus, so as not to seem disruptive or 'religious'. Perhaps, it is critical I define what I mean by moral Relativism. Due to a collapse of Christianity and faith, because of contradicting scientific theories. Public schools have pushed that the Bible is a work of fiction, and we evolved from primordial slime. If survival of the fittest is the criteria of existence, why does truth even matter?   If our brains are merely evolved structures for survival, why should we trust that it's telling us the truth? God gave us our minds, or else, there's no justification why anything is true and you obviously don't believe that. A belief in God, is congruent with the truth that an objective reality exists. If God...

Clarifying Confusion In Christianity And Science

Image
There's lots of things people believe that has misconstrued their understanding of Christianity. I find it critical we examine them and dismiss them; before they cause more to walk away or cause them to hate God or abandon scripture. One of the most prominent thoughts, is that God and the Devil are adversaries and are almost equally matched. However you can't even compare. For one the devil is just an angel among countless multitudes. Michael defeated him, another Angel.  Lucifer convinced a third of the Angels to rebel against God's. Demons are real, these are the demons. They desire, we go to hell as a punishment with them, for keeping on disobeying God. We have Jesus Christ, they have no hope of salvation. The devil is not the chief of hell, he will be the chief prisoner. We don't go to hell because God rejects us, but we go to hell because we reject God. Most of us reject God because out of pride. We are unwilling to put down the self, carry our cross and follow him...

"The Prosperity Gospel" Isn't The Gospel

Image
Mainstream Christianity is under assault, both from within and without. Not only is the world increasingly secular and amoral, but there are wolves within sheep clothing within the Christian preachers themselves, teleevangelism is a large share within this. This is what happens when a nation abandons it's scriptures, they are easily deceived by those who proclaim to speak the word of God. Many of these multimillionaire preachers, aren't necessarily serving the gospel. I don't think it was necessary for me to proclaim that, but it's just the truth. . The people that are not proclaiming the true gospel, avoid topics that are supposed to awake you from your sin. God states that we are all sinners. People like to believe that they are good. The true gospel proclaims you are a sinner and you are depraved, and unlike what these motivational speakers in disguise as preachers. You have transgressions and you need to repent. The true gospel is that God the son, came in the flesh...

The Devil's Nature

Image
A snake is made in the image of the devil, similarly to how humans are made in the image of God. This is not to say that any particular snake is the devil, similarly to how not any particular person is God. Just that man is the physical form of God's image on earth. The snake is the image of the devil in a physical form on the planet.  The devil is defined by pride, perhaps the most cardinal of sins. In his beauty, iniquity was found in him. As he thought to himself he would ascend to God's throne. Consiquently, a third of the angels were deceived in Lucifer's rebellion, in the quest to overthrow God.  However God is omniscient, the devil is not. He betrayed allegiance to God, and fell. The story of the woman's whose son was being attempted to be eaten by the dragon in revelation, is symbolism to God coming in the flesh as Jesus Christ and the crucifixion culminating in the resurrection. The devil since doomed could not conceive a holy God could be both just...
