One astronaut says there’s no doubt the universe is full of life but that this life is so different from what you would expect that you can’t see it. Think about that reasoning.

The reason there is no evidence is you can’t see the evidence, so there is evidence, but you just can’t see it.

Premise: you can’t see the evidence for the supposed “life in the universe.”
Conclusion: The universe is full of life.

The fact that you can’t see the evidence proves the universe is full of life.

Fantastic!

A top evolutionist tells you evolution can be observed but not when it’s happening. The premise is you can’t observe evolution while it’s happening. The conclusion is you can observe evolution.

Premise: You can’t observe evolution while it’s happening.

Conclusion: You can observe evolution, just not when it’s happening.

The fact that you can’t observe evolution while it’s happening proves you can observe evolution happening when it’s not happening.

Really?

Another evolutionist tells you the problem with those who don’t believe in the stories of evolution is they lack imagination.

Premise: someone’s imagination.

Conclusion: the stories of molecules-to-humanity evolution happened.
Imagination proves that evolution happened.

Oh?

These examples are real. Real people said those things. You need true premises, and the premises must prove the conclusion. Without truth, sanity disappears.

Only in the Living Christ is truth. He is the truth. All wisdom and knowledge is hidden in Him. Human pride and ego would like to find something to keep in the fallen carnal mind. There is nothing of value there. It must be converted or transfigured into Christ from glory to glory by listening to Christ’s leading, choosing Christ’s leading, and allowing the Spirit of Christ to do His righteousness through you by His grace. Each choice is a single step into the Kingdom of God and all the authority and power that comes with being a mature son of God.

JESUS DIED AND ROSE AGAIN

Jesus died and rose again.
If you will receive it,
He will set you free from sin,
So, by faith, believe it.

Jesus paid the price for you.
If you will receive it,
What was lost will be made new,
So, by faith, believe it.

Bob and Kathy Stenson, Freeware. Use it freely.

Jesus Died And Rose Again

Yes. He will set you free from sin in four ways.

First, He covers your past sins by His blood. He paid your debt.
Second, if you sin again, confess your sin to Him, and He forgives it.

Third, the fleshly nature that is in you is temporary and dying away. That is not who you are. You are a ministry and you have a ministry. You’re ministry is Christ in you, the hope of glory. That part of your spirit and mind that has been transformed into Christ who you are. He is your identity, not the sinful flesh. If your flesh trips you up, you are not your flesh. You are the Christ in you. Christ in you cannot sin.

Fourth, each time you are tempted by being drawn away from Christ by your own sinful carnal mind, Christ in you also rises up to lead you in righteousness. This is a war. It is a conflict or fight. Only you can control your will. When you turn your will to listen to Christ in you, faith comes by hearing the Word. Christ is the Word. Christ, that Word of leading, authors faith in your heart. Faith gives you access to the power of God’s grace, and God’s grace does God’s righteousness through you instead of obeying the fallen carnal mind. This is victory over sin in little steps. With each step, it’s the parable of the Sower. The Seed is the Word. Christ is the Word. That Seed, Christ, in you is built up. The carnal is diminished and less influence. More than that happens in this process, but you have taken a step. You are more fully conformed to Christ than you were a moment ago. And you have been set free from sin to a level you never were before.

Humility is realizing all we have to bring is submission: hearing God’s leading and yielding to His Spirit.

Humility

Humility is realizing all we have to bring is submission: hearing God’s leading and yielding to His Spirit.

Intellect, effort, works, etc. are futile efforts of pride.

Add one interpretation or self-effort to anything God gives and it’s distorted.

One Christian told me, “God gave us intelligent minds and we need to use them.” That sounds good, but it’s not how the Bible speaks of the human mind. When we are born again, our spirits are joined to the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is there to lead from that time going forward. We aren’t called to figure things out and lean on our own understanding but rather to listen to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Even when reading the Bible, the Holy Spirit speaks to us and gives us the interpretation. When we come in with our own understanding, we don’t really see Scripture as God intended it.

2 Corinthians 3:14–16 (KJV)
“But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which veil is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart. Nevertheless, when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.”

The veil is the fleshly mind, the soul under the influence of the flesh. It acts as a veil to distort every aspect of life, even Scripture. But when we turn to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

Proverbs 3:5–6 (KJV)
“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

Allow Him to direct your paths.

Jeremiah 17:9-10 (KJV)
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the Lord search the heart…”

The human mind cannot be trusted.

Matthew 15:19 (KJV)
“For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.”

The world and demonic powers have planted their seeds in the minds of every person. They have built strongholds in your mind that are difficult to overcome. Those strongholds become so much a part of you that they seem to be more real than reality itself, but they are lies on top of lies.

Romans 12:2 (KJV)
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

Once we are born again, we begin to listen to the Holy Spirit. We shouldn’t add to His words or diminish any of His words. And we need to allow Him to lead us and do His works through us. That’s how He transforms (transfigures) our minds.

Romans 8:6-7 (KJV)
“For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God…”

At every moment, our carnal mind is giving us advice and trying to influence us. Often, evil spirits are also involved. However, if you have been born again, the Spirit of Christ lives in you, and He also speaks to you. When you are tempted by your carnal mind, the Holy Spirit shows you the way to escape.

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (KJV)
“(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.”

The Holy Spirit has given us weapons. The words He speaks to us are our sword to pull down the strongholds (preconceived ideas, bitterness, emotional triggers, theologies, imaginations, habits, and disorders) the enemy has built in our minds.

Philippians 2:5 (KJV)
“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus…”

This is a new mind. When you are born again, you receive the Seed. That Seed is the Living Word, Jesus Christ. He is holy and cannot sin, and He lives in you. As you listen to His voice and yield to His Spirit to the point the He does His works through you, that Seed, Christ, in you becomes greater and the old carnal nature gets weaker.

Proverbs 4:23 (KJV)
“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”

This is your most important work. Do not submit yourself to the ideas of the world. Yield your mind to God.

Ezekiel 36:26 (KJV)
“A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you…”

God intends to transform your heart as you listen to His voice and walk in submission to Him. This is what it means to walk in the Spirit. You walk a step at a time. God leads. God’s faith comes by hearing God’s Word. God’s Word (Jesus Christ) authors God’s faith in you. You believe. God’s faith gives you access to God’s grace. God’s grace does God’s works through you as you yield. The Seed (Jesus Christ) is planted deep in your heart, and you continue to be transformed from glory to glory with each step.

Hebrews 10:39 (KJV)
“But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.”
1 Peter 1:9 (KJV)
“Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.”

God has saved your spirit, and He will be faithful to complete the work by saving your soul, your mind, your heart. He is bringing life to your soul each time you listen and yield to Him, when you are led by the Spirit. But don’t try to be double-minded, depending on the Holy Spirit plus your own intellect. That won’t work. You have nothing you can add to God’s revelation, though your pride may want to add to what God says.

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.

Without the Lord controlling your process of logic, you add to or filter the data.

You need to turn to the Lord. Without the Lord in your process of logic, you add to the data, information, or evidence. On the other hand, you may filter out some data, information, or evidence. Filtering can give you a skewed view of reality. It’s a form of lying. This adding and filtering requires no effort. The deceitful and desperately wicked human mind does it automatically.

I’ve talked to many of these Christians who try to interpret Scripture through the veil of their fleshly minds. Some are willing to seek the mind of Christ. Some refuse to seek the mind of Christ. Some prefer the darkness of their fleshly minds.

Third, there’s the problem of the data, information, and evidence. Can you examine the source of the data, information, or evidence? Where do you get it? Do you look at websites you trust and blindly trust what’s written there? Should you recklessly trust government agencies? Should you uncritically trust what comes from employees of universities? Would it make sense to unquestioningly trust the word of scientists? Should you obediently trust “news” organizations or “fact-checkers?”

These persuaders tell you to fall in line. You’re supposed to kneel to them in submission. Even some social media organizations threaten you and censor you if you say anything that conflicts with their message-control system. If you think these sources are pure, you’re fooling yourself. Much of what persuaders call “data” is fake. Persuaders use false “information” and “evidence.” Much of what persuaders call “science” has no basis in observations. You seldom can examine the actual source of the “data,” “information,” or “evidence.” You don’t know what has been distorted, discarded, or ignored.

In Internet discussion groups, you can see logical errors and irrational thinking. However, this problem goes beyond Internet discussion groups. It’s epidemic in classes, lectures, news programs, books, videos, informal conversations, peer pressure, and every other form of communication. You’ll see it among intellectuals, experts, professors, pundits, and almost everywhere. You also find it among your friends and family members. Irrational thinking is not the exception. Rational thinking is rare.

Even with the Bible, the Holy Spirit must speak

FREE Book: “Exposing the Real Creation-Evolution Debate”

Evolutionism blurs the line between truth and conceptual dreams. Evolutionism mixes scientific observation with stories and fallacies. Evolutionists often use phantom science and the magic-word fallacy. Using the magic-word fallacy, Evolutionism repeats magic words like “science” or “evidence.” And yet, the evolutionists show you no science or direct evidence for the stories. The stories are fanciful tales that go beyond any science or direct evidence. It’s called phantom science. Scientists can’t observe the stories of Evolutionism. Nor can they use these stories to make a useful product.

Persuaders use the same tactic for age-of-the-earth stories and climate alarmism. These are just three of many examples. When you hear magic words like this, but you aren’t able to carefully examine the proof, you should be skeptical. You need to see how they observed and tested the so-called “proof” and exactly why they think the so-called “proof” proves their points.

They might even claim to base their premise on the Bible. They might say, “The Bible says God wants you to live in a communist utopia.” Some are saying the Bible ignores sexual sins. Even though God speaks through the Bible, it’s possible to twist God’s words. The human mind can make nonsense out of the Bible, and Satan quotes the Bible to deceive you. There’s only one Source for true premises, and that Source is divine revelation that comes from Jesus Christ. You need a real relationship with Jesus Christ. Even with the Bible, the Holy Spirit must speak the words of God into your heart. And yet, your preconceived ideas can block your hearing.

But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ. But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. ~ 2 Corinthians 3:14-16

Even with the Bible, the Holy Spirit must speak the words of God into your heart. And yet, your preconceived ideas can block your hearing.

It’s a journey. The Holy Spirit is knocking down one stronghold after the next. Listen to God and yield to His Spirit. That’s one step. Keep walking.

You find bad logic in sources that supposedly teach logic or critical thinking. Those sources should be examples of rational thought, but they’re filled with irrational thinking. They forget to talk about the true premise. Not only that, but they have clever substitutes for truth. Here’s an example of this kind of teaching I found online:

All reasoning is based on DATA, INFORMATION and EVIDENCE. Restrict your claims to those supported by the data you have. Search for information that opposes your position as well as information that supports it. Make sure that all information used is clear, accurate, and relevant to the question at issue. Make sure you have gathered sufficient information.
https://www.criticalthinking.org/resources/articles/helping-students-assess-their-thinking.shtml

There’s nothing wrong with this statement on the surface. Every part is helpful. However, it misses some vital conditions.

First, not all reasoning is based on data, information, and evidence. Go to any discussion group, and you’ll see a lot of reasoning but very little that’s based on data, information, or evidence. Mostly, you see bare claims and smokescreen fallacies. You see logical fallacies are strongly stated bare claims. Most people don’t even try to bring in data, information, or evidence. They may use magic words like “data,” “information,” “evidence,” or “science.” However, they don’t show you even a mirage of any data, information, or evidence. They just use the words as magic words. They have phantom data, phantom information, and phantom evidence. They might have phantom science. Then, they pretend they have shown you data, information, evidence, or science. They didn’t really show it. They only said the magic words.

Second, even if someone does present a premise, you’ll find a problem with the premise. The problem is the premise is not true. The premise may consist of data, information, and evidence interpreted in ways that go beyond the rules of logic. If you ask people how they know their premise is true, they may say, “I saw it on CNN” or “I saw it on Fox News.” They might say, “Everyone believes this.” They may say other people told them, they read it in a book, or they saw it in a movie. They may give some other unreliable reason you should believe them.

Remember, the human mind can’t reason to truth. It can’t be trusted. It can only reason to opinions. No one can get outside of himself or herself to observe objectively. Everyone is biased. Only one Person knows the Truth, is the Truth, tells only the Truth, and cannot lie. His name is Jesus.

If you ask people how they know their premise is true, they may say, “I saw it on CNN” or “I saw it on Fox News.” They might say, “Everyone believes this.” They may say other people told them, they read it in a book, or they saw it in a movie. They may give some other unreliable reason you should believe them.

Remember, the human mind can’t reason to truth. It can’t be trusted. It can only reason to opinions. No one can get outside of himself or herself to observe objectively. Everyone is biased. Only one Person knows the Truth, is the Truth, tells only the Truth, and cannot lie. His name is Jesus.

IS ANYONE LONELY?

Is anyone lonely?
Come to Me says the Lord.
Is any weary?
I will give you rest.
Does your life seem meaningless, hopeless, filled with fear.
Come to Me,
And I will give you rest.

In My presence,
You will find fullness of joy.
In My presence,
You will find peace.
In My presence,
You will listen to My voice.
And you will have the power to be free.

In My presence,
You will find fullness of joy.
In My presence,
You will find peace.
In My presence,
You will listen to My voice.
And you will have the power to be free.

Bob and Kathy Stenson
Use it freely to the glory of God.

Is Any Lonely

Teachers of logic talk a lot about some things called “syllogisms,” which are ways of stating logical arguments. Syllogisms assume true premises. However, those who teach about syllogisms rarely concern themselves with true premises. They just assume their premises. They refer to premises as assumptions. Here’s the problem. Premises must be true for logic to be sound, but assumptions are never known truth. Imagine how confusing that is for students.

• Premises must be known to be true.
• Assumptions are never known to be true.
• Assumptions are premises.

These teachers probably know their reasoning isn’t rational when they fail to base their reasoning on truth. They probably know sound logic requires true premises. They most likely know deep down that truth is absolute by definition. They must know the human mind has no path to truth on its own. And yet, these teachers don’t teach this to their students.

That’s why logic becomes incomprehensible and confusing to students, but the students finally conform to the idea that they don’t need true premises. The students may not even consider the question of whether they need true premises.

The teacher and the textbook may not talk about truth. The students then lose the distinction between reality and make-believe. They’ve been educated into a deep level of ignorance. This isn’t education. It’s brainwashing. Brainwashed people become dogmatic in their ignorance. As the Bible says, “Thinking themselves wise, they become fools.”

INDESTRUCTIBLE JOY AND UNSHAKABLE PEACE

Indestructible joy, only Jesus supplies.
And unshakable peace in His Spirit abides.

For the world can’t destroy, cannot cause it to cease,
This great vision ahead, which the eye of hope sees.
Indestructible joy and unshakable peace.
Indestructible joy and unshakable peace.

In the midst of the storm, oh, what comfort I feel,
For my indwelling Lord cometh ever more real.

For the world can’t destroy, cannot cause it to cease,
This great vision ahead, which the eye of hope sees.
Indestructible joy and unshakable peace.
Indestructible joy and unshakable peace.

Oh the world may squeeze and bring pressure to bear,
Try to shape and to mold, but then what do I care,

For the world can’t destroy, cannot cause it to cease,
This great vision ahead, which the eye of hope sees.
Indestructible joy and unshakable peace.
Indestructible joy and unshakable peace.

Let the enemy rage; let him rant; let him foam.
I continue with Christ toward my heavenly home,

For the world can’t destroy, cannot cause it to cease,
This great vision ahead, which the eye of hope sees.
Indestructible joy and unshakable peace.
Indestructible joy and unshakable peace.

Indestructible Joy And Unshakable Peace

Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts

Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion. ~ Hebrews 3:15b

God blesses those who listen to Him. If you listen and yield to the righteousness of Christ so Christ does His works through you, God changes you. God transforms you step by step. God transfigures you from glory to glory into the image of Christ by the Spirit of the Lord. This is what it is when you walk in the Spirit. You don’t stay in one place. You become a wayfaring person. The Holy Spirit moves you. You’re a stranger in a strange land looking for a city.
No one comes to Jesus Christ except by the voice of God. The Father draws each one to the Son. God speaks to them through at least one of His methods of divine revelation and probably through many of those methods. If you speak by the Spirit of God, God may bring someone to faith by the words He speaks through you.

Most people don’t base their beliefs on rational thought. They don’t make decisions based on rational thought unless they yield themselves to the Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit, people make decisions based on emotion and fallacies. And then they use other fallacies to try to make their decisions seem rational. That’s why fallacies work so well. Irrational thinking can become a habit and seem normal. Fallacies can become a way of life. When deceived people run into some element of the truth, they think the truth is strange or even evil.

Jesus Christ is the Truth and the only Source of Truth. He’s real and knowable. Everyone who seeks Him finds Him. He directs, instructs, and disciplines every person who follows Him. Hopefully, I’ve brought this down to the nuts-and-bolts level and made it practical.

Incline Thine Ear and Come unto Me

Incline Thine Ear

Incline Thine ear and come unto Me,
Hear and thy soul shall live,
I’ve made an everlasting covenant
And as My witness ye shall give.
The sure mercies of David,
That My nations now shall see,
Behold this Holy One of Israel
For He hath glorified thee!

It’s wonderful to be born again, but you must grow up to His fullness. Christ is coming to His body in His parousia, which is His abiding presence. Parousia is a Greek word. The English Bibles generally translate “parousia” as “coming.” It means “abiding presence.” Christ is coming to His body to live in His body and be seen in His body.

Someone said those Christians who aren’t interested in Christ coming to His body won’t be happy when Christ returns for His body. Christians who won’t listen to God as He’s speaking will not be in a good place when Jesus returns. Christians who listen to ungodly people will not be in a good place when Christ returns. And there is no middle ground. There’s no place for those who want to be lukewarm, neither hot nor cold.

Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion. ~ Hebrews 3:15b
