God is in the dock. Shall we convict him or forgive him? Shall we replace the God of Scripture with another of our choosing, mock and deride him, or ignore him? Shall we replace revelation with the chaos of speculation? We perceive ourselves, ratherthan God, as the center of the world and this universal condition leads to conflict with others and with God. Maintaining our center causes cheating, lying, litigation, divorce, wars, genocide, and human misery. Western civilization is giving up trust in the promise of God's mercy, justice, and forgiveness and replacing it with trust in the goodness of man. Jesus warned us to beware the teaching of the Sadducees and Pharisees. The Sadducees, who denied hope of eternal life, are a rough equivalent of our modern day secularists with their religious trust that this world is all there is. Replacing God with trust in flawed human nature is a mark of arrogance that even pagans would have characterized as hubris evoking divine wrath. The Pharisee's yeast of self-righteousness is a natural condition of us all. Even when cleansed it reappears in every tradition rendering forgiveness and transformation a promise only for those who think they have earned and deserve it. Such a distortion of God's word is congenial to our self-as-center, but it robs us sinners of the justice and mercy of a loving God. Following Jesus's warning we have the opportunity to wipe away the Sadducee arrogance and the Pharisee self-righteousness and discover anew the supreme power and joy of the Christian faith.

In Geneis 6 it mentions the Sons of God cohabating with the daughters of men and producing heros of old. That passage caused me to ask a question,"What would of happened if Adam and Eve had children before they ate the fruit and that question caused a strange story to emerge. So imagine a race of giants who had everything given to them. They had a perfect place to live, and they had guidance from a higher power anytime they wanted, and not only that, but they had superhuman abilities such as strength, flight, and great intelligence, with many other gifts. Even though they had all of that to start with things were not perfect for them. This led to self pity and arrogance that caused a series of events that caused them to turn their great gifts into curses or the complete loss of the gifts. As the giants turn their backs on the instructions from the higher power to only place their trust in leaders who would deceive them.

Download Factual Wisdom for the Age of Apostasy Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book Factual Wisdom For the Age of Apostasy accounts for those issues of life synonymous with the five areas of being human (spiritual, physical, social, psychological and vocational) associated with living in an age void of truth and commonsense. Moreover, the book offers an analysis of these life issues from various expressive perspectives such as ruminations, aphorisms, sayings and proverbs. It is the hope of this author that readers will comprehend how sacred life is in reference to safeguarding against willful ignorance, vanity, willful stupidity, cowardice and hatred while alternatively exploring and developing beliefs and behavioral lifestyles that promote the sanctity of life. In truth, life is to be lived in such a manner that living is lifted up in glory so that each person on earth has an opportunity to achieve his/her life-giving purpose and receive/and allocate community blessings because of such a fact. Anything less than such a blessed experience are those persons that are living the living death, and certainly, the works expressed in this book find these kinds of lives and those machinations responsible for such debasing experiences a reprehensible outrage that must be excised from civilized social life.

On a futuristic Earth, after a monumental event known as The End of Technology, all life has changed. Now, in the decades since, human beings have adapted to the extinction of technology, blending the old ways of life with the new in a reverse new age. When life finally begins to show signs of stability, a being from an alien world quietly creates a fortress in the darkest reaches of the Earth. He has been watching and waiting for an opportunity to spearhead a plan to make this large, rich blue planet home to his own species, the Drek. He enlists the help of Kabriza, the mighty Quentranzi General, to bring a horde of demons to scourge the Earth of its fragile inhabitants. But first, he must challenge Takashaniel. Far from the mighty dark fortress, Iel, the guardian of Takashaniel, is aware of the Drek's plot to destroy the sacred tower, thus weakening the veil between the Earth realm and the abyss. Together with his young student Mira, they contact four mighty warriors and set them on a perilous path beyond their imagination that will eventually lead them to Takashaniel and into the battle for Earth and life as they know it.

Download Know-It-All Society: Truth and Arrogance in Political Culture Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Winner • National Council of Teachers of English - George Orwell Award for Distinguished Contribution to Honesty and Clarity in Public Language The “philosopher of truth” (Jill Lepore, The New Yorker) returns with a clear-eyed and timely critique of our culture’s narcissistic obsession with thinking that “we” know and “they” don’t. Taking stock of our fragmented political landscape, Michael Patrick Lynch delivers a trenchant philosophical take on digital culture and its tendency to make us into dogmatic know-it-alls. The internet—where most shared news stories are not even read by the person posting them—has contributed to the rampant spread of “intellectual arrogance.” In this culture, we have come to think that we have nothing to learn from one another; we are rewarded for emotional outrage over reflective thought; and we glorify a defensive rejection of those different from us. Interweaving the works of classic philosophers such as Hannah Arendt and Bertrand Russell and imposing them on a cybernetic future they could not have possibly even imagined, Lynch delves deeply into three core ideas that explain how we’ve gotten to the way we are: • our natural tendency to be overconfident in our knowledge; • the tribal politics that feed off our tendency; • and the way the outrage factory of social media spreads those politics of arrogance and blind conviction. In addition to identifying an ascendant “know-it-all-ism” in our culture, Lynch offers practical solutions for how we might start reversing this dangerous trend—from rejecting the banality of emoticons that rarely reveal insight to embracing the tenets of Socrates, who exemplified the humility of admitting how little we often know about the world, to the importance of dialogue if we want to know more. With bracing and deeply original analysis, Lynch holds a mirror up to American culture to reveal that the sources of our fragmentation start with our attitudes toward truth. Ultimately, Know-It-All Society makes a powerful new argument for the indispensable value of truth and humility in democracy.
