Question it All

Question everything you were taught, especially if it came from the field of psychology or the modern church system.

Psychology is based on a system of "cause and effect", a Darwinian premise that people are basically animals and only act badly when treated badly or act good because they are treated well.

The truth from God is that man is basically wicked, rather than Darwin's idea that man is basically good. The devil always preaches the opposite of what God teaches.

Since Darwin's aim was to discredit God in every way possible, then we can expect that everything he said was based on that mentality.

God says this:
Jeremiah 17:9-10 " 9"The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately sick; Who can understand it? 10" I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give to each man according to his ways, According to the results of his deeds.…"

The world hates God, rejects His ways and despise those who obey Him.

John 15:18-19 "18 If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first. 19 If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world."

If the devil can get the world to operate against the ways of God, he can destroy many people in the process. All he has to do is get them to buy into many wrong thinking patterns, while making them think it is all good, then he can ruin families, communities and everything in between, including the church.

The plan of the devil is to replace God's principles with good sounding ideas that add a sentence or two of God's ways, basically corrupting all of God's principles.

When we are aware of the devil's devices we will obey God, but the rest of the culture who does not seek the Holy Spirit for wisdom, will agree with the ways of the devil instead of the ways of God.

Ephesians 6:11-18
11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.
14 Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints,"
