|
|
Many problems in human experience are the result of
false and inaccurate definitions of humankind premised
in man-made religions and humanistic philosophies.
Human knowledge is a fraction of the whole universe. The
balance is a vast void of human ignorance. Human reason
cannot fully function in such a void, thus, the intellect
can rise no higher than the criteria by which it perceives
and measures values.
Humanism makes man his own standard of measure,however,
as with all measuring systems, a standard must be greater
than the value measured.
Based on preponderant ignorance and an ego-centric carnal
nature, humanism demotes reason to the simpleton task
of excuse-making for the rule of appetites, desires,
feelings, emotions, and glands.
Because man, hobbled in an ego-centric predicament cannot
invent criteria greater than himself, the humanist lacks
a predictive capability. Without transcendent criteria,
humanism cannot evaluate options with foresight for
survival and progression. Without foresight or instinct,
man is blind to potential consequence and is unwittingly
committed to averages, mediocrity,and regression - and
worse. Humanism is an unworthy worship - not very bright.
The void of human ignorance can easily be filled with
a functional faith while not-so-patiently awaiting the
foot-dragging growth of human knowledge and behavior.
Faith, initiated by the Creator and revealed and
validated in His Word, the Bible, brings a Transcendent
Standard to man the choice-maker. Other philosophies and
religions are man-made, humanism, and thereby lack what
only the Bible has:
1. Transcendent Criteria and
2. Fulfilled Prophetic Validation
The vision of faith in God and His Word is survival
equipment for today and the future. Selah
The way we define 'human' determines our view of self,
others, relations, institutions, life, and future.Important?
Only the Creator, who made us in His own image, is qualified
to accurately define us. Choose wisely - there will be
results.
Man is earth's CHOICEMAKER. Psalm 25:12 He is by nature
and nature's God a creature of Choice - and of CRITERIA.
Psalm 119:30,173 His unique and definitive characteristic
is, and of Right ought to be, the natural foundation of
his institutions, environments, and respectful relations
to his fellow-man. Thus, he is oriented to a Freedom
whose roots are in the Order of the universe. Biblical
principles are still today the foundation under Western
Civilization and the American way of life. Let us proclaim
it. Behold! The Season of GENERATION-CHOICEMAKER.
JOEL 3:14
