It’s wonderful to be born again, but you must grow up to His fullness.

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

The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness. For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images of mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity for the dishonoring of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is forever worthy of praise! Amen. For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. Likewise, the men abandoned natural relations with women and burned with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. Furthermore, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, He gave them up to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful. They invent new forms of evil; they disobey their parents. They are senseless, faithless, heartless, merciless. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things are worthy of death, they not only continue to do these things, but also approve of those who practice them. ~ Romans 1:18-32

Notice what’s happening. They refuse to acknowledge God. God has been giving them everything they need to survive, and this includes the revelation of reality so they can think and survive. But they refuse to thank God or glorify Him. They turn from the Light into darkness. Their foolish hearts, or minds, become dark. And they can’t see in the dark. Their thinking becomes futile. They think they’re wise, but they start to become fools. Since they prefer darkness, God lets them have their way. Into the darkness they go.

The first chapter of Romans applies also to Christians. You must be intimate with Him. You must be listening to His voice and allowing Him to correct you and have full sway over you. You must acknowledge Him and glorify Him when He speaks. If you are walking in the Spirit and learning to yield to God’s leading in your life, you’re finding out just how difficult it is to do this. How far does God want you to go? He wants you to go all the way with Him.

IN HIS GARDEN by Patti Neal

In the valley, He restoreth my soul
In the stillness, He satisfies my longing heart
He walketh with me in green pastures
And by the cool streams.

In the shadows, He is my comfort and strength
In sorrow, He soothes my aching heart
He carries me high above the waves of despair
and loves me when I seem so unlovable, and unlovely.

He says, “Thou art my beloved, I will never leave thee
Peace be still.
I love thee, and will carry you to my
Kingdom, oh, one so fair.

For I see your heart, and its desires
And you desire me well, and longingly
You will not be alone, for you shall reach out
Too many empty and lonely souls.

Compel them to come in
where the ‘Sonshine’ will warm their hearts.
Be not afraid to reach out
To a lost and dying world

Don’t hold back my Love
As I have given you
Freely give
And allow the Spirit to flow.

Some may seem to reject
Many will hunger for Truth
And the Love that is in you
Which is Christ Jesus.

Go My Love,
My lovely one
I will be in you,
And with you each step of the way.

You shall be strong
For My Spirit makes you whole,
So that you can do the work that I have called you to do.
Be Faithful, and you shall receive Life Everlasting.”

As the children of the Light walk into the Light and shine out, those who hate the Light will hate the children of the Light. The Light is Christ Himself flowing out through His people. The righteousness of Christ flows out like Light. Some people love sin and hate righteousness. They turn from the Light and walk into darkness.

Those who hate the Light react when they’re exposed to the Light. They retreat further into the darkness of their own minds. Their senseless minds are darkened. They finally come to the place where they can’t tell virtue from wickedness or what’s real from what’s imaginary. They leave sanity and they’re clever at devising evil plans. You’re seeing this now all around you as it’s playing out before your eyes. It’s why the world is so crazy.

IN HIS FATHER’S HOUSE ARE MANY ABODES

In His Father’s house are many abodes.
He is preparing a place for you.
You are the abiding place of the Holy Ghost.
For the Lord shall come to you.

Suddenly, one day, He’ll fill His House.
The veil will be torn in two.
And the veil of your flesh shall be removed.
And He shall shine forth from you.
And you shall be placed and adopted,
As a manifested son.

Co-workers with Jesus now, in a new way.
And the Church shall all be one.
Every enemy shall be slain.
And death will be the last one.
He shall come to receive His holy Bride.
For the victory will be won.

In His Father’s House are Many Abodes

The Greek word translated as “mansions” is μονή (monē), meaning dwelling place, abode, or room. It carries the idea of a place to stay, but it does not necessarily mean a grand or luxurious estate as we typically think of “mansions” today.

When the KJV was translated in 1611, the English word “mansion” could simply mean a dwelling place or a lodging — not necessarily a palatial home. Over time, however, “mansion” in English evolved to mean a large, impressive house. So modern readers sometimes imagine heaven as full of luxury houses, which is not quite what Jesus was saying.

Modern Translations

Modern English Bibles often translate it differently to reflect the original sense:

Life without Christ eventually leads to closeness to Satan. Even among those who say Satan doesn’t exist, they begin to flow in Satan’s spirit. They start to carry an evil that any follower of Christ can sense. Many of the godless try to walk a line of self-righteousness and virtue signalling. They want to look good without Jesus Christ. However, that way of living is empty, and increasing numbers of ungodly thinkers are turning to the occult in one form or another.
On the other hand, some people are seeking the Light, walking in the Light, and becoming the Light. As Christ said:

You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. ~ Matthew 5:14

They Don’t Want Divine Revelation

FREE Book: “Real Faith & Reason, Volumes One, Two, and Three”
https://realreality.org/download-the-christians-real-faith-reason-journey-series/

Divine Revelation, What They Don’t Want

You can’t use the trilemma to get truth. You can’t use demonic influence to get truth. That leaves divine revelation as the only Source of truth. You can only get divine revelation through Jesus Christ. However, those who hate light and truth won’t listen to Jesus Christ. Christ reveals reality through Scripture and every method of divine revelation mentioned in Scripture.

Those methods of divine revelation mentioned in Scripture never conflict with Scripture. Nor does any part of Scripture conflict with any other part of Scripture. Interpretations (even if they are falsely called “revelations”) may conflict with Scripture and often do, but divine revelation never conflicts with divine revelation. Divine revelation never conflicts with the divine revelation in the Bible.

The arbitrary assumption of Naturalism denies God’s existence, so it denies divine revelation. And yet, every follower of Christ experiences divine revelation. Christ shepherds, coaches, and corrects everyone who follows Him.

Non-believers experience divine revelation too. Since Christ is the Light and He lights every person who comes into the world, every person experiences the Light of Christ. Some people may reject Christ’s Light, but they experience it nonetheless. All who repeatedly fail to acknowledge Christ and thank Him will eventually turn toward darkness. Darkness is what follows when they turn away from the Light. When they turn away from Christ, the darkness becomes gradually more deep. It’s a downward spiral. Eventually, godless thinkers will lose all distinction between good and evil, right and wrong, truth and error, or reality and make-believe. You see this in society as many people are moving toward total insanity. That explains why the world is so crazy. And it’s going to get much worse.

Here’s the trilemma (3 bad choices)

Here’s the trilemma (3 bad choices):

Naturalists have three possible foundations for thought: infinite regression, circular reasoning, and axiomatic thinking (bare claims). These are all fallacies. There’s no truth value in any of them. That creates a problem for syllogistic thinking and science. In essence, Agrippa was claiming to know no one can know anything about anything.

I discussed the trilemma in more depth in the three-volume set titled Real Faith & Reason. I’ll give a short description here. If you want to know more, you can download that three-volume set for free from RealReality.org/downloads.

Five Choices, Not Three

Fortunately, Agrippa’s trilemma is wrong. It’s a false trilemma. The trilemma refutes itself. It falls into the pit it dug for others. Agrippa used one of the three fallacies of the trilemma when he claimed the trilemma exists. Therefore, his trilemma is self-refuting. It disproved itself. That’s just one problem.

Here is a simple example of the self-refuting logic:
1. Take Naturalism as an Axiom. (unproven statement taken as fact without evidence)
2. Commit the Axiomatic Thinking Fallacy. (Make up stuff)
3. Use that Fallacy to Claim “Only 3 Choices Exist.”

Agrippa also missed some information. His trilemma eliminated two choices that go beyond the three he proposed. Five choices exist, not three. The reason he missed two choices is he took the philosophy of Naturalism as an axiom. He committed the axiomatic thinking fallacy. Then he used that fallacy to claim only three choices exist. The trilemma has three horns. One horn is the axiomatic thinking fallacy. That’s why the trilemma refutes itself. And Agrippa left out the two choices that aren’t naturalistic. The trilemma assumes Naturalism. Assumption is one flavor of axiomatic thinking fallacy.

The trilemma only limits ungodly thinkers. Ungodly thinkers take Naturalism as an axiom. Naturalism eliminates the chance for ungodly thinkers to be rational. That makes the trilemma irrational since it’s the product of ungodly thinking. The trilemma leaves out the supernatural. It leaves out divine revelation and demonic influence as possible foundations for thinking. Of those two, only divine revelation can get you to truth.
If you eliminate the axiom of Naturalism, you have the freedom to examine the other two choices. Those two choices are divine revelation and demonic influence.

Then, you have five choices. If you choose infinite regression, circular reasoning, or axiomatic thinking (a fancy way of saying making up stuff), your reasoning will always be irrational. That leaves the two choices: demonic influence or divine revelation.

Demonic influence is real. Part of Naturalism denies this reality. However, this denial of demons also depends on axiomatic thinking. And the denial of demons is also an assertion contrary to fact. Spirits are involved in Wicca, witchcraft, Satanism, the occult, paganism, Neopaganism, religions with multiple gods, religions following impersonal gods, and New Age religions. Those who conjure demons know the demons are real by their experiences with those demons. They might call them helpers, familiar spirits, gods, or other names. They’re demons.

Demonic influence is dangerous. It cannot lead to truth. Therefore, demonic influence will always result in irrational thinking. Demons can be extremely clever and deceptive. They answer to Satan who is the father of all lies.

The philosophy of “Rationalism” claims human reason in the human mind can conjure knowledge without the benefit of either revelation or observation. The human mind can’t reason to truth, and rational thought depends on truth. Jesus is the Truth, and ALL wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him.

You might wonder how the philosophy of Rationalism deals with the problem of truth. Some rationalists claim they have built-in and true knowledge they can use as premises for logical arguments. Others say they can grasp certain truths directly. In other words, they believe they can make up stuff, and the made-up stuff is true stuff because of some miraculous ability they have. However, there’s no proof of the philosophy of Rationalism other than a bare claim and circular reasoning. Rationalists make up stuff and use that made-up stuff to “prove” the philosophy of Rationalism. It’s circular support for the claim. In other words, they base their claim “the human mind has built-in and true knowledge” on itself. Rationalism is a circular-reasoning fallacy. For rationalists, all logic resolves to one final premise of “It’s true because I think it’s true.”

Other people believe imagination can self-generate truth. These people use the same loopy logic the Rationalists use to support their claims.

And we’ve already discussed the people who believe no one can know anything, but there’s no proof of that belief either. It’s a self-refuting belief as I’ve already pointed out. These are the skeptics.

In the first century, a man named Agrippa the Skeptic defined a trilemma that no one who assumes Naturalism has successfully refuted in 2,000 years of trying. A trilemma is a problem where only three choices exist, but not one of the choices is a good choice. In this trilemma, all the choices for reasoning are fallacies. You can’t know any truth through fallacies. Agrippa observed this problem. He tried to disprove it, but he wasn’t able to because he assumed Naturalism.

The philosophy of “Rationalism”

The philosophy of “Rationalism” claims human reason in the human mind can conjure knowledge without the benefit of either revelation or observation. The human mind can’t reason to truth, and rational thought depends on truth. Jesus is the Truth, and ALL wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him.

You might wonder how the philosophy of Rationalism deals with the problem of truth. Some rationalists claim they have built-in and true knowledge they can use as premises for logical arguments. Others say they can grasp certain truths directly. In other words, they believe they can make up stuff, and the made-up stuff is true stuff because of some miraculous ability they have. However, there’s no proof of the philosophy of Rationalism other than a bare claim and circular reasoning. Rationalists make up stuff and use that made-up stuff to “prove” the philosophy of Rationalism. It’s circular support for the claim.
