If your thoughts aren’t based on absolute truth, then your thoughts are mere opinions.
Here’s the problem. You can’t know anything for certain without absolute truth. If your thoughts aren’t based on absolute truth, then your thoughts are mere opinions. I’ve been guilty of this. I’ve had God speak to me and tell me that I based my thinking on nothing at all. That shook me to my core.
So, how can anyone even survive without truth? If a person without truth can’t be rational, wouldn’t every person in this predicament live in poverty or die quickly at a young age? It doesn’t work that way. Irrational people do get into high positions and do live what appear to be normal lives. Just think of some people you’ve seen in top positions and the poor decisions they’ve made.
All wisdom and knowledge and wisdom are hidden in Christ. Christ is the Light. He lights every person. God’s rain falls on the righteous and the unrighteous. Some people just refuse to acknowledge and thank God. What happens to them? God tells us in Romans 1: “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.”
The world has gone crazy because it has no truth. Intellectuals make many bizarre claims.
Here’s what can happen to you. Over the months and years, you can start to feel comfortable with their bizarre claims. You can become numb. After a while, some old bizarre claims don’t sound so crazy anymore even though they’re just as crazy as when you first heard them. You may have resisted the lunacy at first, but the crazy people persisted and repeated their messages until those messages sounded normal to you. You became as crazy as the crazy people because you let them normalize insanity for you. You internalized craziness. You let craziness become part of your inner concept of reality.
I hope you’ve escaped this insanity. It’s almost impossible. It takes a miracle to escape.
