Chapter 9: Rationalization of Mankind

Page 21

By morphing Jesus into God, mankind shifts the character of God

from one that is holy and requires repentance to one that no longer seems to care about much except “forgiveness.” That is the essence of today’s false Christian teachings. Christianity has created a more user friendly God by implying incorrectly that sin no longer matters to God “as long as you have

Jesus.” This is a cheap grace doctrine that literally won’t hold any salvation.

The doctrine is a spiritual salvation sieve where what appears to be eternal salvation simply leaks away leaving the holder of the sieve empty

handed when it comes to eternal life. Homosexuality is just another example of the preposterous rationalization of mankind that goes on today in modern Christianity. So many believe this “love doctrine” that practicing lesbians and homosexuals are now ordained as priests, bishops, etc.

Those who rationalize sin away will be among those whom Jesus says: “I never knew you.” Those who teach others that sin no longer matters to God will have a special punishment awaiting them. Get to know your Bible and you will find this is a factual teaching from God’s perspective. It

is not rationalization on my part. I only inform you what you should know and expect from God’s Word.

Besides rationalizing aberrant sexual behaviors like homosexuality

and lesbianism, mankind seeks to rationalize many other sins in life. For example, it is amazing those who still rationalize that smoking won’t harm their body. I know of nurses that smoke packs of cigarettes daily. That doesn’t say much for their health education, does it? You should know that

knowledge itself is totally useless. The old adage that knowledge is power is mythology. It is applied knowledge that is power. Applied knowledge is stuff that you have learned and then put into practice. That is why the Bible says, “Those who practice righteousness are righteous like Christ.”

Alcohol and drugs won’t hurt you? I could supply a lengthy list here of various and sundry rationalizations of mankind. Mostly all of these rationalizations involve some type of sin. It is stuff that mankind wants to

be true, but isn’t. At least it is not true from God’s perspective.
