86. Don’t let naysayers direct the conversation toward you. It’s not about you. It’s about Christ.
87. If you want to be a friend of the world, you are an enemy of God.
88. Making immorality legal doesn’t make immorality moral.
89. God judges every immoral act. He judges every word that didn’t proceed from His own mouth. Whatever He doesn’t lead you to and do through you is immoral.
90. You are called to yield to the Holy Spirit so you only do His acts and only say His words.
91. God created you to work together with Him in submission to Him, yielding the members of your body to His righteousness as He says His words and does His acts through you. Anything else is sin.

Jesus is the only Truth that matters. He’s the only Truth that can withstand the test.

Jesus is the only Truth that matters. He's the only Truth that can withstand the test.

Jesus is the only Truth that matters.
He’s the only Truth that can withstand the test.

Jesus Is The Only Truth That Matters

Jesus is the only Truth that matters.
He’s the only Truth that can withstand the test.
In His presence, all my arguments are shattered.
In His presence is the only place of rest.

I will seek Him and know Him.
I will walk in all His ways yielding to His grace.
I will seek Him and know Him.
Pressing on to know the Lord . . . until I see Him face to face.

The intelligence of men just doesn’t matter.
As they analyze, their thoughts are sadly vain.
All their reasoning is so much empty chatter,
When the Lord’s the only Truth that will remain.

CHORUS

Reasoned dogma cannot test the True Foundation.
Jesus is the Truth and Doctrine I embrace.
All the ramblings of my interpretation,
I will disregard and I will seek His face.

Satan’s Tricks: He’ll try to get your fleshly mind to come up with ideas for serving God rather than waiting for God to direct you.
(Quote from https://realreality.org/downloads/how-god-will-transform-you/)

Satan’s Tricks

Satan will try to get you working for God when grace isn’t working through you to do the works. Satan will try to disguise his voice as God’s voice to deceive you. Then, if he can deceive you, he’ll tell you God doesn’t speak or you can’t know God’s voice from other voices. He’ll try to get your fleshly mind to come up with ideas for serving God rather than waiting for God to direct you. He’ll try to get you to send yourself to do what God never asked you to do. He’ll try to get you to depend on your intellect and abilities rather than depending on God. He’ll bring false teachers, leaders, and pastors to give you guidance that didn’t come from God. Satan will use all these tricks plus the other tricks mentioned in this chapter.

36. Axioms consist of made-up stuff and using them as the basis for reasoning is insane, and yet, academia runs on axioms.
37. Since ungodly thinkers can never prove any premise, they get used to fallacy.
38. Ungodly thinkers mix assumptions with observations. Observation is different from an assumption.
39. Ungodly thinkers assume it makes sense to base reasoning on made-up stuff, to base thinking on assumptions or presuppositions. Made-up stuff is all they have.

41. Ungodly thinkers use the argument from ignorance fallacy a lot, but it’s a sneaky way to give the illusion speculations are part of reality.
42. Ungodly thinkers face Agrippa’s Trilemma (the Münchausen Trilemma). Ungodly thinking can never come to an absolute conclusion. This means ungodly thinkers can never be certain of any claim.
43. Ungodly thinkers can’t be rational because of the Münchausen Trilemma. Only divine revelation from Jesus Christ solves this Trilemma.
44. Agrippa’s Trilemma (the Münchausen Trilemma) binds ungodly thinkers.
45. Ungodly thinkers try to defend reasoning based on made-up stuff and other fallacies.
46. Ungodly thinkers claim, based on bare assertion, that God doesn’t reveal truth to those who listen to Him.
47. Ungodly thinkers claim divine revelation is made-up stuff. How ironic! The ungodly thinker made up that claim. The ungodly thinker is claiming to know the inner spiritual experience of every Christian who ever lived.
48. God reveals Himself to ungodly thinkers. They refuse to listen to Him.
49. When ungodly thinkers refuse to listen to Christ, they’re turning toward darkness. They lose their ability to sense God. They can’t hear Him anymore. They can’t feel His presence. They can’t see the Kingdom of Heaven. They become increasingly callous.
50. Ungodly thinkers make up stories to assert that Christ doesn’t reveal reality to those who follow Him.
51. If you assume what you’re trying to prove, you prove nothing.
52. How could an ungodly thinker prove a premise? They would need a second premise to prove the first, but they can’t prove the second premise either. How can an ungodly thinker prove a premise? They can’t.
53. Ungodly thinkers are always forced to use fallacies since they can’t prove any premise true.
54. Rational thought requires true premises. That’s a problem for ungodly thinkers. It’s not a problem for those who know Christ. He is the truth—the only Source of knowledge and truth.
55. Rational thought must be based on truth, but ungodly thinkers have no path to truth. Ungodly thinkers can only escape this problem by turning to Christ. Pray for them.

59. Interpretation of Scripture requires adding something (truth or not truth) to the Scripture. Truth only comes by divine revelation from Christ.
60. Emotion never proves anything, but ungodly thinkers are convinced based on emotion.
61. The emotional appeal fallacy is effective in fooling weak minds.
62. The appeal to emotion fallacy uses emotion to add fantasy to observation and calls the combination of fantasy and observation “evidence.”
63. The appeal to emotion fallacy uses emotion to add fantasy to Scripture and calls the combination of fantasy and observation “Scripture.”
64. Dogmatic thinking bases thought on dogma rather than living in the revelation flowing from Jesus Christ, Who is the only Source of ALL knowledge and wisdom.
65. Ambiguity can deceive the unaware.
66. God reveals truth through science. Some scientists thank Him. Others turn away from Light and Righteousness.
67. Ungodly scientists use assumptions as if they were part of reality. That’s how they sell their ungodly religion.
68. In the make-believe world of the ungodly thinker, “evidence” consists of filtered observations interpreted by assumptions that can’t be proved true.
69. Ungodly thinkers are stuck with bare claims and many smokescreen fallacies.
70. To say a statement is true when it’s unknown is irrational. Yet, that’s how ungodly thinkers use assumptions in science, philosophy, and theology.
71. No one can prove axioms like Rationalism, Naturalism, Materialism, or Uniformitarianism. They’re made-up stories, and they’re false.
72. Naturalism ASSUMES no God. God REVEALS no naturalism.
73. Speculative science and speculative theology: both are dangerous.
74. Ungodly thinkers can’t give an example of one kind of living thing ( like a cat of dog) turning into another kind of living thing. To say “countless examples exist” is not an example.
75. Evolutionists tried to be rational, but that never worked because evolutionism is irrational.
76. Evolutionists are having success with appeal to ridicule fallacies since no one likes to be ridiculed.
77. Evolutionism is based in storytelling and denialism. Evolutionism is a religious dogma that can’t be falsified. All conclusions of age-of-the-earth “science” depend on assumptions and storytelling.
78. Scientists and theologians generally reason emotionally and irrationally.
79. Scientists and theologians often reason based on made-up stuff such as axioms or assumptions. That’s irrational.
80. Scientists and theologians generally reason irrationally then rationalize their conclusions to make them seem sane.
81. Don’t be fooled by appeal the appeal to popularity fallacy. Satan established an organized system. The system consists of the culture, education, and media. The people in this system act in unison so the system acts as a single false prophet.
82. It’s no surprise ungodly schools teach an irrational form of logic.
83. Ungodly schools don’t teach the fact that without divine revelation, no path to a true premise exists.
84. Ad ignorantiam question fallacies work because most people don’t think rationally.
85. But sanctify [purify] the Lord God in your hearts [innermost being], and be ready always to give an answer [apologia = rational response] to every man who asks you a reason [logos = utterance = Christ] of the hope [firm vision from God] that is in you [in your innermost being] with meekness [a gentle spirit] and fear [reverence]. 1 Peter 3:15
86. Don’t let naysayers direct the conversation toward you. It’s not about you. It’s about Christ.
87. If you want to be a friend of the world, you are an enemy of God.
88. Making immorality legal doesn’t make immorality moral.
89. God judges every immoral act. He judges every word that didn’t proceed from His own mouth. Whatever He doesn’t lead you to and do through you is immoral.
90. You are called to yield to the Holy Spirit so you only do His acts and only say His words.
91. God created you to work together with Him in submission to Him, yielding the members of your body to His righteousness as He says His words and does His acts through you. Anything else is sin.

Jesus has manifested Himself in each member.

Jesus has manifested Himself in each member.

Jesus has manifested Himself in each member.

Jesus Has Come To His Body

Jesus has come to His body.
He has manifested Himself in each member.
Let us never call Jesus accursed.
We no longer curse Him–We only can bless.
It’s Jesus, Jesus–We don’t know each other after the flesh.
It’s Jesus, Jesus–We no longer curse Him–We only can bless.

Satan’s Tricks

Satan will try to convince you that faith is something faith is not. The liar will say faith is belief WITHOUT evidence when faith IS the evidence. Some deceived Christians will say faith is belief BASED ON evidence when faith IS the evidence.

The world and demons will try to convince you that you can get faith some other way. Your soul’s enemy doesn’t want you listening to God’s voice in willing submission and deep respect. Someone may claim you have to do works of piety to get faith. Demonic voices will try to get you to use your intellect, emotion, knowledge, observation, common sense, or something else to get faith. None of that works.

The enemy will say faith is belief, but you have to presuppose God exists, and you have to presuppose the Bible is God’s word without error. You don’t have to presuppose anything. God reveals He exists. He makes it so plain to you that you know by divine revelation. The same for the Bible. God shows you the Bible is His word without error. He doesn’t have to prove it to you. He tells you. His Word to you is proof. You don’t have to presuppose God’s revelation or figure it out.

Don’t fall for Satan’s tricks. Don’t be deceived.

Satan’s Tricks

Satan will try to get you working for God when grace isn’t working through you to do the works. Satan will try to disguise his voice as God’s voice to deceive you. Then, if he can deceive you, he’ll tell you God doesn’t speak or you can’t know God’s voice from other voices. He’ll try to get your fleshly mind to come up with ideas for serving God rather than waiting for God to direct you. He’ll try to get you to send yourself to do what God never asked you to do. He’ll try to get you to depend on your intellect and abilities rather than depending on God. He’ll bring false teachers, leaders, and pastors to give you guidance that didn’t come from God. Satan will use all these tricks plus the other tricks mentioned in this chapter.

68. In the make-believe world of the ungodly thinker, “evidence” consists of filtered observations interpreted by assumptions that can’t be proved true.
69. Ungodly thinkers are stuck with bare claims and many smokescreen fallacies.
70. To say a statement is true when it’s unknown is irrational. Yet, that’s how ungodly thinkers use assumptions in science, philosophy, and theology.
71. No one can prove axioms like Rationalism, Naturalism, Materialism, or Uniformitarianism. They’re made-up stories, and they’re false.
72. Naturalism ASSUMES no God. God REVEALS no naturalism.
73. Speculative science and speculative theology: both are dangerous.
74. Ungodly thinkers can’t give an example of one kind of living thing ( like a cat of dog) turning into another kind of living thing. To say “countless examples exist” is not an example.
75. Evolutionists tried to be rational, but that never worked because evolutionism is irrational.
76. Evolutionists are having success with appeal to ridicule fallacies since no one likes to be ridiculed.
77. Evolutionism is based in storytelling and denialism. Evolutionism is a religious dogma that can’t be falsified. All conclusions of age-of-the-earth “science” depend on assumptions and storytelling.
78. Scientists and theologians generally reason emotionally and irrationally.
79. Scientists and theologians often reason based on made-up stuff such as axioms or assumptions. That’s irrational.
80. Scientists and theologians generally reason irrationally then rationalize their conclusions to make them seem sane.
81. Don’t be fooled by appeal the appeal to popularity fallacy. Satan established an organized system. The system consists of the culture, education, and media. The people in this system act in unison so the system acts as a single false prophet.
82. It’s no surprise ungodly schools teach an irrational form of logic.
83. Ungodly schools don’t teach the fact that without divine revelation, no path to a true premise exists.
84. Ad ignorantiam question fallacies work because most people don’t think rationally.
85. But sanctify [purify] the Lord God in your hearts [innermost being], and be ready always to give an answer [apologia = rational response] to every man who asks you a reason [logos = utterance = Christ] of the hope [firm vision from God] that is in you [in your innermost being] with meekness [a gentle spirit] and fear [reverence]. 1 Peter 3:15
86. Don’t let naysayers direct the conversation toward you. It’s not about you. It’s about Christ.
87. If you want to be a friend of the world, you are an enemy of God.
88. Making immorality legal doesn’t make immorality moral.
89. God judges every immoral act. He judges every word that didn’t proceed from His own mouth. Whatever He doesn’t lead you to and do through you is immoral.
90. You are called to yield to the Holy Spirit so you only do His acts and only say His words.
91. God created you to work together with Him in submission to Him, yielding the members of your body to His righteousness as He says His words and does His acts through you. Anything else is sin.

No more sinning? Now, how can it be? It’s You Lord Who works Your works in me.

No more sinning? Now, how can it be? It's You Lord Who works Your works in me.

No more sinning? Now, how can it be?
It’s You Lord Who works Your works in me.

It’s You Lord Who Works Your Works In Me

The work You did for me on Calvary, (Col 1:29)
It is enough to fully guarantee,
That from sin, I’ll wholly be set free.
It’s You Lord Who works Your works in me.

You have conquered animosity, (Heb. 2:14)
When You bore my sins upon the tree.
You’ve forgiven each atrocity.
It’s You Lord Who works Your works in me.

In thankfulness, if I try to re-pay, (Isaiah 64:6)
If I bring works like filthy rags to Thee,
This is no gift, but if I yield to Thee,
Then, it’s You, Lord, Who works Your works in me.

Just as I am without one single plea, (Gal 3:3)
That’s how I must come and submit to Thee,
And to your faith and hope and love so free,
Which is You, Lord, Who works Your works in me.

My own works could never set me free. (Titus 3:5)
Flesh of mine has no capacity,
To please You, God, or end captivity.
It’s You Lord Who works Your works in me.

It’s not based on my ability. (Heb. 12:12)
It isn’t judged on much activity,
But each work that starts and ends with Thee.
Is You Lord Who works Your works in me.

Not my own faith, but that which flows from Thee, (Romans 3:3)
My own hope is dissatisfactory,
Not my own love. but Your own charity,
Is You Lord Who works Your works in me.

By Your Spirit You have set me free, (Romans 8:2)
From all sin so I can always be,
Pure and good and manifesting Thee,
It’s You, Lord Who works Your works in me.

All that’s good and perfect comes from Thee. (James 1:17)
You abide as light inside of me.
Take away my flesh so totally,
That it’s You Lord Who works Your works in me.

Bring each thought into conformity. (Romans 12:2)
Bring each action into harmony.
Let your Spirit all my portion be,
Then You, Lord, will work Your works in me.

Just by yielding now, oh Lord, to Thee, (Matt. 5:48)
You will give me total victory.
No more sinning? Now, how can it be?
It’s You Lord Who works Your works in me.

For as the earth brings forth its growth, and as a garden enables seed to spring up, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations. ~ Isaiah 61:11 God causes righteousness to spring up.

For as the earth brings forth its growth, and as a garden enables seed to spring up, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations. ~ Isaiah 61:11

God causes righteousness to spring up. You need to spend time in God’s presence. If you stay in God’s presence, He will speak to you. If He speaks to you, faith will come and take you to His grace. Then, His grace will say His words and do His acts through you.

91 FACTS MOST PEOPLE DON’T KNOW ABOUT RATIONAL THOUGHT:
1. The whole world honors an insane way of thinking without absolute truth, and that’s why the world is so crazy.
2. Rational thought requires a starting point of truth. It must be based on truth. Truth is absolute by definition.
3. Without divine revelation, it’s impossible to have a true premise. Without a true premise, it’s impossible to be rational.
4. Without truth, no rational thought can exist.
5. No truth exists outside Christ.
6. The simplicity in Christ is this: Christ is real and Christ reveals truth to any open mind. He’s alive and knowable.
7. You can pray, “Lord, be the foundation of my every thought. Let me listen to Your voice every moment.”
8. Jesus Christ speaks through the Bible and every means of divine revelation mentioned in the Bible.
9. The Bible is saturated with the Spirit of Christ, so you can’t avoid hearing His voice if you read the Bible.
10. Even though the Spirit of Christ saturates the Bible so no one can avoid hearing His voice when reading the Bible, ungodly thinkers avoid acknowledging Christ when He speaks to them.
11. God doesn’t rewrite the Bible because ungodly thinkers rebel against His righteousness.
12. God doesn’t change the Bible. God speaks through the Bible to change you.
13. Wherever truth is denied, Christ is denied. Wherever Christ is denied, truth is denied.
14. Christ is truth and wisdom. No other source exists, but many fakes exist.
15. God is love. No other source for love exists, but many fakes exist.
16. Christ is the Light of the world who lights every person, but many turn from the Light.
17. When people turn from Christ, they turn toward darkness and lose the ability to tell the difference between good and evil and truth and lie.
18. In John 3:19-21, Jesus stated the reason ungodly thinkers persist in their ungodly thinking.
19. Three possible sources exist for claims: human error, demonic entities, and God. Only God can reveal the truth.
20. The truth-value of a statement can be true, false, or null (unknown).
21. Without divine revelation, the only option is fallacy.
22. Divine revelation is the only way to avoid fallacies.
23. Whatever you build on the starting point of Truth (Jesus is the Truth), you must build without adding to or diminishing that Truth. (1 Co. 3:11-15)
24. Only one true Source for knowing exists. His name is Jesus Christ.
25. Without Christ, every assertion is a bare assertion.
26. Assumptions are unsupported claims (made-up stuff) people make up and treat as if real.
27. Most thinking is based on made-up stuff. For simplicity, call it lying.
28. Assumptions come out of worldviews, and worldviews give the illusion of reality while filtering out real reality.
29. Claims contrary to fact are bare claims that are also untrue.
30. If you follow Christ, you never have to use fallacy unless you choose not to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Those who follow Christ never have to be irrational since God reveals knowledge.
31. Two basic fallacies exist: calling made-up stuff real and covering up the fact that we’re calling made-up stuff real.
32. Don’t fall into the axiomatic thinking fallacy trap. Axiomatic thinking is calling made-up stuff “true.”
33. The only alternative to the axiomatic thinking fallacy is divine revelation.
34. Assumptions consist of made-up stuff, and using them as the basis for reasoning is insane. And yet, academia runs on assumptions.
35. Presuppositions consist of made-up stuff and using them as the basis for reasoning is insane, and yet, academia runs on presuppositions.
36. Axioms consist of made-up stuff and using them as the basis for reasoning is insane, and yet, academia runs on axioms.
37. Since ungodly thinkers can never prove any premise, they get used to fallacy.
38. Ungodly thinkers mix assumptions with observations. Observation is different from an assumption.
39. Ungodly thinkers assume it makes sense to base reasoning on made-up stuff, to base thinking on assumptions or presuppositions. Made-up stuff is all they have.
40. Ungodly thinkers base their thoughts on made-up stuff because of the limitations of the human mind.
41. Ungodly thinkers use the argument from ignorance fallacy a lot, but it’s a sneaky way to give the illusion speculations are part of reality.
42. Ungodly thinkers face Agrippa’s Trilemma (the Münchausen Trilemma). Ungodly thinking can never come to an absolute conclusion. This means ungodly thinkers can never be certain of any claim.
43. Ungodly thinkers can’t be rational because of the Münchausen Trilemma. Only divine revelation from Jesus Christ solves this Trilemma.
44. Agrippa’s Trilemma (the Münchausen Trilemma) binds ungodly thinkers.
45. Ungodly thinkers try to defend reasoning based on made-up stuff and other fallacies.
46. Ungodly thinkers claim, based on bare assertion, that God doesn’t reveal truth to those who listen to Him.
47. Ungodly thinkers claim divine revelation is made-up stuff. How ironic! The ungodly thinker made up that claim. The ungodly thinker is claiming to know the inner spiritual experience of every Christian who ever lived.
48. God reveals Himself to ungodly thinkers. They refuse to listen to Him.
49. When ungodly thinkers refuse to listen to Christ, they’re turning toward darkness. They lose their ability to sense God. They can’t hear Him anymore. They can’t feel His presence. They can’t see the Kingdom of Heaven. They become increasingly callous.
50. Ungodly thinkers make up stories to assert that Christ doesn’t reveal reality to those who follow Him.
51. If you assume what you’re trying to prove, you prove nothing.
52. How could an ungodly thinker prove a premise? They would need a second premise to prove the first, but they can’t prove the second premise either. How can an ungodly thinker prove a premise? They can’t.
53. Ungodly thinkers are always forced to use fallacies since they can’t prove any premise true.
54. Rational thought requires true premises. That’s a problem for ungodly thinkers. It’s not a problem for those who know Christ. He is the truth—the only Source of knowledge and truth.
55. Rational thought must be based on truth, but ungodly thinkers have no path to truth. Ungodly thinkers can only escape this problem by turning to Christ. Pray for them.
56. Ungodly thinkers love to argue. Since they think their bare claims are valid, they have no limits.
57. Since ungodly thinkers can’t think rationally, they argue irrationally.
58. Interpretation of observation requires adding something (truth or not truth) to the observation. Truth only comes by divine revelation from Christ.
59. Interpretation of Scripture requires adding something (truth or not truth) to the Scripture. Truth only comes by divine revelation from Christ.
60. Emotion never proves anything, but ungodly thinkers are convinced based on emotion.
61. The emotional appeal fallacy is effective in fooling weak minds.
62. The appeal to emotion fallacy uses emotion to add fantasy to observation and calls the combination of fantasy and observation “evidence.”
63. The appeal to emotion fallacy uses emotion to add fantasy to Scripture and calls the combination of fantasy and observation “Scripture.”
64. Dogmatic thinking bases thought on dogma rather than living in the revelation flowing from Jesus Christ, Who is the only Source of ALL knowledge and wisdom.
65. Ambiguity can deceive the unaware.
66. God reveals truth through science. Some scientists thank Him. Others turn away from Light and Righteousness.
67. Ungodly scientists use assumptions as if they were part of reality. That’s how they sell their ungodly religion.

It Matters Not

It matters not what sins you have committed,
If you yield yourself to Jesus, He forgives.
If you submit your will to the King of Kings,
The Master of all life in you lives.
The Master of all life in you lives.

It matters not your power in the Spirit
The miracles you do in Jesus Name.
If you will not submit to the King of Kings,
You are disobeying Him just the same.
You are disobeying Him just the same.

Who will yield. Who will submit.
Will you give yourself to Jesus today.
If you yield; if you submit to Him,
He will lead you in each precept and each Way.
And if you do not fully understand.
Reach out. Put your hand in Jesus’ Hand.
He will lead you to that promised Kingdom Land.
Step by step, He will show you the way.
