DANGEROUS THINKING

DANGEROUS THINKING

Friday, December 12, 2014

Acts 4:10-12 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Romans 3:20-26 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

  Yesterday (BEFORE ALL THINGS!) Jon Mayo provided laws of science that refute evolutionary theories: Evolutionists believing in order developing out of disorder, when in fact order initially and continually moves to disorder.

  Jon’s fine explanation set me to thinking about dangerous thinking commonly held to by evolutionists: The concept that man of himself has the potential to come up with and implement idea(s) that will bring about cessation of mayhem; war, destruction, murder et al. -- and doing so apart from Jehovah God Almighty, Lord Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit; Logos, The Word.

  Janie B. Cheaney, in her essay “Back to the future of bad ideas” (WORLD 12/13/14) points out how very flawed such thinking is. She notes that history reveals that every idea involves implementation; it running head-on into diversity in human ideals and desires, individual and community. This commonly comes to implementation being enforcement; war, destruction, murder et al.

  Cheaney correctly explains not a concept but the precept “All men are sinners, all hearts are deceptive.” (Isa.64:6; Rom.3:23)

  Man does not have the answer naturally within self and never will! And it is dangerously apart from God’s grace for us to think so.
