While the evidence shows that:
- Climate Change is a natural occurring cycle
- President Trump has done an above average job as president, even though he may suck as a person.
- The Bible clearly shows supernatural traits.
- Both Republican and Democratic leadership are out of touch and out for themselves, not the people.
- Etc. Etc. Etc.
Most people will cling to the evidence, that supports the collective ideology of their group, rather than what is true and best for society. In a concerted manner, they actively and cognitively disregard the evidence that goes against their collective thought. They will even lie and search out to discredit non-supporting evidence. Their collective thought is that it's truly the right thing to do. The problem is that it isn't really their own 'thought', because, in reality, they don't think for themselves.
Within the church, this tribalistic disorder is very prevalent. Examples are:
-Not Recognizing The Pagan Roots Of Christmas And Easter.
Even though it is clearly shown and proven, within the Bible, mainstream Christians continue to celebrate not only celebrate on the day of Saturnalia, they celebrate, using the pagan customs.
-Taking Man's Word Over God's.
Many Christians believe in a way that is contrary to the Word of God. We were in Bible Study, the other night, and we were reading the Word For Word Translation, where we look at the actual meaning of the words and it amazed us that the NIV and ESV translators ignored the meaning of the original words and translated it according to traditional thought.
-Discrediting Biblical Thought In Lieu Of Tradition Or Humanism.
Examples of this is rampant, from allowing same sex marriage, abortion, etc. within the church.
The more and more we see this mental disorder, within the Church, it shows that we are indeed in the End Times. If these percentages are correct, then the Remnant of God makes up only 10% of the Mainstream Church. In contrast, 90% of the Church have abandoned God's Ways, in lieu of the Ways of Satan and the World. No surprise. This was prophesied. Also, the tribalistic methodology of distorting the truth has been used by Satan from the beginning. Again, no surprise. The key for the Remnant of God is to recognize it, shun it and put the truth out there. God's Holy Spirit will lead the Remnant to himself.
Shalom.
Hi Keith,
ReplyDeletehappy new year. Tradition has cancelled out truth for many years, and how many people search the scriptures these days to see if what is said is true. There is nothing in the scriptures that say we should go to a bible college to be taught, and as far as homosexuality is concerned there are even those who are of the same sex that are in a 'teaching' position, when scripture actually goes against this. We are in the end times when many shall fall away, and only a remnant remain. If we follow the leading of the Holy Spirit then we shall be led into all truth.
Shanah Tovah Umetukah, Brenda. We are in total agreement about tradition and it's position, within the Church. As the Remnant continues to put the truth of God's Word out there, opposition to it is becoming increasingly aggressive. You mention a big tradition, especially here in the states, and that is a Bible College education is required to expound and preach the Word of God. We both know that the Word of God is for the common person, not the elite. Infiltration of Satan into the church has been very invasive, since the beginning. Y'shua told us that it would happen.
ReplyDeleteYes, a big HALLELUYAH to allowing ourselves to become Echad with the Spirit of God, through his Word, Y'shua, in order to be led into all the truth.
The lovely thing is Keith is that we are not restricted by a country's rules and laws when we can share the truth on the internet, and that Word is the judge. As we seek the truth we shall find it.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Brenda. The only thing that prevents us from sharing the good news, if we let it, is the fear of death. However, death is but a door to the other side, where the physical meets the spiritual and the Word of God is manifested completely.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very hot topic here in the states. It can be seen in the media, church, families. I've got friends that will disown you because you have a difference of opinion. We don't even have to argue about. They will just up and call you names and leave and never talked to you again. That kind of behavior is clearly abnormal. I didn't know that there was a mental disorder. It makes sense. The medical profession has made a career of creating names or titles for demonic influence activity and possession.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to drag up old stuff, but you could clearly see this disorder in our Australian friend who used to frequent your blog.
ReplyDeleteI agree Chris. This is a growing problem, here is the US. It makes it very important to continue to put out God's truth and let his Holy Spirit lead us into truth.
ReplyDeleteWilliam, No Comment. :-) LOL
ReplyDeleteOur Australian friend, Paul, had a problem with acknowledging God as the Father of Jesus. He saw Jesus as God, even though He is One with Him in Spirit. That would contradict what is said in Romans ch. 8 v. 29:- 'For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren;'
ReplyDeleteJesus becomes our brother through the Holy Spirit, not our Father. It was the Spirit within Him that was the Father, not the flesh that He was born into. If Paul does not acknowledge this fact then He is not accepting what is written, just as many people in 'denominational' churches are not.
I totally agree, Brenda, with your assessment. I can also extend this to many Christians that don't read their Bibles, like Paul, and make up or believe in a doctrine contrary to God's Holy Doctrine.
