Have you ever found yourself questioning everything you were taught because those who taught it were inconsistent and chaotic?
The men of cultural tradition begin to appear foolish. God reveals that their rules and ideas were never given by God; their chaotic, irrational thinking has no Biblical support.
When we compare God's Word with what the culture believes, we find that more things are unreasonable and senseless. We cannot trust our cultural traditions when we become born again.
1 Corinthians 2:13-15 "…13 And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. 14 The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment."
What most people say and do is based on their cultural thinking and not on the principles given to us by God.
John 14:17 "the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you do know Him, for He abides with you and will be in you."
Romans 8:7 "because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so."
Jude 1:19 "These are the ones who cause divisions, who are worldly and devoid of the Spirit."
When we place our trust in Christ, we will not be accepted by the world and that means most people.
