Why do we argue with each other?

Why do we argue with each other? We argue about theology, politics, science, and everything else. Why? Most of what is called “rational” or “knowledge” isn’t knowledge of truth. It’s never rational to base thinking on made-up stuff. The human mind can fill in the blanks. It can make up stuff to complete the missing parts of what we don’t know.

We say, “Here is what we observed. What conclusions can we draw from this?” Of course, we have to make some assumptions even if we don’t realize we’re assuming anything. They seem like common sense. Whether we call them assumptions, axioms, presuppositions, suppositions, or common sense, they are all made-up stuff. And we make assumptions automatically and unconsciously. One person assumes one thing while another person assumes something different, so they come to different conclusions. What seems obvious to one (because of hidden assumptions) is nonsense to someone else. Then an argument begins.

Truth is different from assumptions. Truth can only come from a Person Who knows all things, can’t lie, and is willing to reveal the truth to us. There’s only One Who fits this description: Jesus Christ. He reveals the truth. He is the Light that lights every person. Demons lie. Demons plant ideas in our minds that become strongholds in our minds if we entertain their lies. Those strongholds are the source of assumptions. They seem real, but they are lies. We sin when we are drawn away by our own fleshly lusts, those strongholds that were created by demons sometime in the past. Jesus Christ comes to you to expose your strongholds and destroy them. However, you must acknowledge Him that He has come to yo. And you must believe that you will find Him if you diligently seek Him.
