Without spiritual illumination,
the doctrines of the Gospel are open to skepticism therefore interpretive error. Nowadays skeptics pretend
not to renounce or forsake the truth of God. But they talk about the truth and argue about
it with a "devil may care" attitude. In truth they are ambivelent and apathetic towards the word of God. The truth is that they are
indifferent as to whether it is true or not. Scripture, the Trinity, Christ and
his offices, justification by grace and all the other great truths of the
gospel are weighed and examined and mostly just considered a bunch of
intellectual nonsense or worse supernatural myth. It is a point of contention in theological arguments but
holds no sway on the hearts of the one’s arguing the points. It is just another
academic pursuit to win arguments over, not win converts. Other people are the
farthest from these people’s minds. This is all about being right and who is
the most aligned with the culture, truth be damned.
Many act as if they are true
teachers of true Christianity and even hold posts in supposed Divinity schools
and Seminaries. Yet they are only old windbags teaching another hip…but false
Gospel. They may be teachers of religion,
but they show their spiritual ignorance of the fundamental difference between
truth and error. They cannot see the glory, beauty and power of truth of Scripture
and of God so it all looks like an uninspired book to be argued over. What they fail to understand is that Jesus felt the Scripture was infallible and quoted from it often. So either Scripture is infallible and Jesus is right or both become compromised because if Jesus believed it was infallible and it wasn't, He was wrong and is therefore not divine. an omniscient
Furthermore truth, truly known and understood,
will produce reverence, love and sacred esteem in the souls of a person. So
much so that they would not dare to whore themselves to skepticism or allow it
to be debated about by every fool that has an unfounded opinion.
Spiritual darkness caused by
biblical illiteracy and biblical ignorance keeps the mind and soul from
arriving at any assurance of the truth. It prevents the soul from loving the
truth and so provides no defense for the person against sliding away from God
because it doesn’t even allow a person to love God to begin with. How can one
love someone or something he knows nothing about?
Absent the proper guide or map each
person in blindness and ignorance of what is truth and what is error, is left to
determine what is truth for himself. They all do what is right in their own
eyes. Each person has their own opinion of what truth is and everyone’s truth
is as equally valid as any other truth. In the postmodern quicksand it is easy
to wander away from God and into apostasy.
Apostasy is the endgame of Skepticism.
In this way, truth is lost
gradually day by day and people gradually wander. Truth is the only guide to
right thinking. If the mind is not guided by truth, its thoughts will soon
wander into error. So went the Jews, so went Judas,
so went the Roman Catholic Church and so goes all the cults of today that say
the name Jesus Christ but attribute to Him something less than divinity,
holiness or salvation.
The minute someone believes they
have a better idea their apostasy has already crept into their darkened unlit heart.
As soon as someone adds to what has already been done apostasy has gained its
foothold. As soon as the first doubt surfaces… disaster will ensue if it is not
stamped out like sparks near kindling. Skepticism leads to apostasy and this
leads to thought other than on God. Skepticism and apostasy is a step towards
death and puts one foot firmly in the grave rather than a footstep towards an
empty tomb.
All false religions
claim that their followers are more holy in their lives of work than those who
hold to the gospel of Christ. In this way is they wish to win converts to themselves.
Whereas those that preach the true Gospel of Jesus Christ wish to win converts
to Jesus Christ, and thereby do so. The rest just blow hot air like bellowing windbags
and when they win converts, they win them to damnation and make their disciples
twice the son of Hell that they are
