All that we have just
studied in these past few verses, regarding phony prophets, phony instructors, phony self appointed experts on life, are revealed as
frauds, by the only source of truth, which is the Bible. All other beliefs and philosophies are filled
with flaws and inconsistencies.
Their purpose is a
fraud, their intent is a fraud, their message is a fraud, and their promise of
a result is a fraud.
All
teaching which runs counter to that of the Bible (legitimate teaching contained
within the Bible), is a fraud.
Even those who use the Bible
as their source document, fail when they try to infuse their man-made rules into
the daily actions of people, or when they try to warn of failure in your life
because of something that you do, or do not do.
When works are added to
the message, then the message fails.Because God does not look to your efforts, but to your thoughts.
What you think is what
you are.
All people fail in
life.No one will ever be perfect of
their own accord.
No one can earn, nor
will anyone ever deserve a place at Gods side.
Only through grace, Gods grace, will we ever be able to attain more than
this world offers.And through God, we
can attain far more than this world has to offer.
Sin is mans
failure.The Law represents mans
inability to recover from that failure, on his own. The Law represents mans good deeds effort,
which reinforces mans inability to match the high criteria that the Law demands
for perfection.
But more than all of
this, the Law came from God, and paints a picture of the perfection of Bible doctrine,
which all of humanity has divorced and betrayed by way of sin, choosing the
prostitute himself with the enticing views of the world.
And therein is the real
result of mans indifference, fueled by mans arrogance and foolish notions, that
cause man to presume that he knows more than he really does. Especially when there are far too many
obvious knowledge voids in mans attributes.
Do you know your own genetic code? Do you know the structure of the universe? Do you know the moment by moment weather for
all of next month, or anytime for that matter?
Can you cure disease?
It is easy to find
questions that you do not have answers to, so why would anyone presume to know
the facts of the afterlife?
For real answers we are
forced to turn to truth, and there is only one source of truth, and that is the
Bible.And to know that for sure, you
can rule out all other religions, beliefs, and such, by discovering just a
single objective flaw within them.And
by objective we do not mean a debater s convenient argument with cute twisted rhetoric,
or by ones personal bias.That is the tool
used by those who reject Christianity.They
make up their own list of Christian flaws, which when examined correctly, fail
to hold up.
And to know the truth,
you have to be taught, you have to study, and you have to stick with it, every
day of your life.
